nothing has been accomplished TO approach
in excellence and cheapness the Dollar
Series of Good Books" published by I. b.
Peterson 4 Brothers, of Philadelphia. Some
of the very best works in contemporaneous
literature have already been given a place
In this series. Not only have the publishers
eulled in choicest fields for rare works, but
they. have enshrined the worthy works Sc
lected in slightly and durable baskets, and
wisely and praiseworthy they have ignored
the catch penny device of printing IA
NOUS work from worn type on paper OF
wretched quality and then binding 1T badly
IN fiimsy paper covers. As a continuation
Of this remarkable "DOllar Series" the
Messrs. Peterson have just issued " W oman's
Wrongs" by Mrs. Elloart, being an entire
true vet graphic description of the legal
wrongs that English wives and mother wed
