nook NOTICES.

Diamond Dickens" IL contains "Ihe
Personal Experiences of David Copperiield,
the Younger" Weare pleased to state that
this enterprise OF the publishers has thus far
proved decided success, forty-iye thousand
copies of the three current issues having
already been sold. This will be very graft
flying intelligence to all who admire Die
kens' writings and have seen this edition OF
his works, as it gives assurance that they
will be issued entire in this form. In
literary point Of view, Americans owe
Dickens much, as no one has done more
during the past thirty years to edify and
amuse us than him. Pickwiek," the
initial of his humorous works, and still the
most amusing; "0ur Mutual Friend" his
latest, and by many deemed equal TO his
best, and "David Copperiield, undoubtedly
the superior of all the rest, are now before
the public in this dainty form and dress,
and their rapid sale well attests the popu-
larity they have achieved. Mr.. Eytinge is
one of our youngest American artists, and
his illustrations OF the Diamond Dickens"
are meeting with warm praise in all quarters
where criticism is considered valuable. His
pencil simply reproduces in form the penned
outline of the novelist's creation, and that
| in a manner which does credit to this issue.
Those DESTROYS OF securing the work should
send on at once to the publishers, before the
editions are entirely exhausted.
