CHAPMAN AND HALL'S MONTHLY SERIES.
A COLLECTION OF

-.—
ORIGINAL WORKS OF FICTION AND
BIOGRAPHY.
THIS SERIES OF BOOKS will be found to differ in some
very important respects from every other hitherto pre-
sented to the public.
I. It will consist exclusively of new and original works,
chiefly of the class of Novels and Romances.
11. The price of each "Work will be less than one-half
the sum charged for an equal amount of matter in
the ordinary system of publication.
111. The means by which the saving of east will be effected
will involve no sacrifice of literary or typographical
excellence.
IV. The quantity of matter given in each Part will be
found to obviate a very general objection made to
Serial Works, on the ground of a too frequent sus-
pension of the interest.
The NOVEL will be pubtished in Foun MONTHLY
PARTS. of the post octavo farm. Each Part will contain
one hundred and sixty handsomely printed pages, and be
sold for THREE SHILLINGS. Unless special exceptions
are made, and it is expedient to issue a story in a single
volume, it is intended that while every novel in the Series
shall contain the ordinary amount at present included in
THREE VOLUMES, it shall be completed in Two, and sold
for TWELVE SHILLINGS.
The BIOGRAPHIES will never exceed Two Parts, or One
Volume.

THE FIRST NOVEL WILL BE
MOUNT S O It E L;
OR, THE HEIRESS OF THE DE VERES.

By the Author of the " Two Old Men's Tales."
The First Part will be published on the
first of January.
