Good Stories, under which title they pro.
pose to publish, in cheap and attractive
form, valuable collection Of Short Stories,
Tales. and Sketches, The need Of such
collection has long been felt; for while
numerous collections Of poetry have been
made, no general rcpcrtory Of good stories
exists.
II Is not intended 10 Limit this colec
ton to English literature. 1t will en-
brace, by competent TRANSACTIONS the best
and mos, characteristic short stories Of all

While having In view the idea Of max
ing this collection valuable as repertory
Of choice fiction, the Publishers have IN
mind the great need Of the travelling pub
lie for class Of reading that shall answer
for amusement in the rail car or on the
steamboat. A largo volume or n long
story often becomes wearisome TO the
traveller on account Of the disadvantages
to which he is subjected, while the type
Of many volumes render the reading OF
them impossible to not few travellers
La Good Stories all OF these difficulties are
overcome, Each number is a small quarto,
appropriately illustrated, aud easy to the
hand the stories are choice, and demand
not too continuous attention the type il
