publishers is to issue an edition of
Dickens, for the use OF millionalres in
1870 volumesh at G200 volume" Which
Is probably about as accurate as much
Of the American news" which finds Its
way to England.
In connection with Messrs. Harper a
Brothers new S0-volume edition OF
Charles Dickens works, It is interest
Ing TO recall Dickens early connection
with the firm. BLEAK House" Little
Dorrlt," and Our Mutual Friend" first
appeared In this country in the pages
Of Harpers Magazine, and Great FIX
pectations," "A Tale Of Two Cities"
1.-THE Mystery of Edwin brood" and
"The monumental Traveller" in Har-
per's Weekly The Harpers bought out
his complete works later in a Fire
side" edition, and the marked testhetic
progress In American book manufac-
turing since that time is well Illus
trated by a comparison between the
old and the present new edition which
Is beautifully made up. Dickens was
paid considerable sums by the Harpers
for the American serial rights OF his
works, and at a time when American
publishers were frequently open TO the
charge Of piracy" the relations be-
tween Dickens and the Harpers re-
mained friendly.

Mr., Harris Dickson whose new novel,
THE Siege OF Lady Resolute,' was
published by the Harpers on February
18th. said In an interview; u find II
very embarrassing to be asked for data
concerning my life and achievements,
for l am one OF those fellows who has
dreamed a great deal and done very
little AS Mr., Dickson Is still In the
early thirties, and has written two cap
tial novels, The Black VOLTS Breed
and the new Siege Of Lady Resolute,"
1t must be inferred that when he
dreams he dreams true as Peter lb-
betson did In Du Maurier's novel. Mr..
Dickson, besides writing novels, does
some graceful verses occasionally.
