| THE DIAMOND DICKENs-MARTIN CHUZZLE
wGT.-This is the fifth volume of the handsome
and popular Diamond Edition" of Dickens
Works, and in style and appearance it is an exac
copy of the four elegant little volumes that pre-
cedcd it.
! "Nartin Chuzzlewit' Is Of unusual interest tC
American readers, as it was written soon after
Dickens visited this country, and contains the re.
suit of his observations. On its first appearance
it aroused great Indignation in the United State:
| by the severity Of Its satire We were ready tC
admit that Pecksnif, Jonas ChuzzIewit, Sairey
Camp, and Montague Tigg were accurate repre-.
sentatiyes of English society, but declared that
Elijah Pogram, Mrs Hominy, Colonel Diver, and
Jefferson Brick were gross caricatureS Of people
living in America. But when we remember the
locality of "Eden"-now better known to the
world as Cairo at the confluence Of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers-the peculiarities of the Mis-
souri, bushwhackers and their leading politicians
at the time Dickens visited America, and their
outrages all through the recent rebellion, we may
forgive the novelist for doing what the leading il.
lustrated papers of the past two years have done
in sketchlng society in the border and Southern
States For this is exactly what Dickens La:
done in Martin Chuzzlewit." He never lose'
an opportunity to sketch the frailtes OF the Eng
lsh people quite as severely, and probably as
truthfully as he did the 'halfhore, half-alliga
tor" men who formerly ruled in the regions Dor
dering on the Mississippi river. These individu
ais came within Mr., Dickens scope of acquaint
ance when he was here and they were as fail
game for his satire as Peeksniff himself.
Aside from the prejudice which once existed
against this novel, and which is evidently wear
ing away, it possesses fund of humor athos
and entertainment. As for this edition, its pock.
ct conve nenee, Its clear type and exceedingly at
tructive appearance Throughout, have already
made it a favorite, and most deservedly so.
The price of the Illustrated edition is only
$3.50 Of the plain, $1.25. Either can be pro
cured of the booksellers, or will be sent postpaid
