Charles Dickens has been ruled out
by a class OF the younger literary
critics as a decided hack number. but
the statement by his British publishers
that during the past three years the
sale OF his books has been almost dOu-
bled seems TO refute that idea. Some
of Dickens novels sell more than So
900 every year, and he has been dead
forty-elght years. His sales during the
last ten years have been larger, It is
asserted. than those OF any three nov
ellsts put together.
