Charles Dickens Works for the Million, to
be completed in % volumes, one to be issued
on each and every Saturday, for twenty

former years did not tend much to elevate
their readers, but the reading that Peterson
now gives at prices which scarcely cover the
cost of printing, is of the very best character
and must exercise a wholesom influence
over the public taste, by making all readers
acquainted with the works of the best fiction
writers in the English language. A reade,
in the country for one dollar can have the
first four of these volums transmitted to him
or the whole twenty eight volumes will be
sent for five dollars. The second volume
issued to-day, contains the conclusion of Oil
