By a special arrangement made with me and my English Publishers, (partners with me in the copyright of my works,) Messrs. TICK NOR & FIELDS, of Boston, have become the only authorized representatives in America of the whole series of my books. CHARLES DICKENS.

THE DIAMOND EDITION

OF THE COMPLETE WORKS OF

CHARLES DICKENS.

THIS Compact and elegant Edition has, from the issue of the first number, been a general favorite with all adınirers of DICKENS. Its distinct type, tinted paper, striking illustrations, tasteful binding, and low price, have commended it to all classes of readers.

The Illustrations, by S. EYTINGE, JR., are a prominent feature of this Edition, and the Publishers are happy to confirm the general testimony to their excellence, by the following expression of opinion from MR. DICKENS himself:

"They are remarkable for a delicate perception of beauty, a lively eye for character, a most agreeable absence of exaggeration, and a general modesty and propriety, which I greatly like."

This Edition of DICKENS is more complete than any other now published, containing, in addition to the writings included in any previous Edition called complete, The Uncommercial Traveller, and the later Christmas Stories, specially collected for this Edition by MR. DICKENS himself. It also contains a feature entirely new in Editions of Dickens's Works, a full and complete Index of all the characters and principal incidents of all the Novels. These important additions make the Diamond Edition the completest, as it is the cheapest, elegant Edition of Dickens's Works now published.

This Edition is now complete in Fourteen Volumes, as follows:

The Pickwick Papers.

Our Mutual Friend.
David Copperfield.
Nicholas Nickleby.
Martin Chuzzlewit.
Dombey and Son.

Old Curiosity Shop, and Reprinted
Pieces.
Little Dorrit.

Bleak House.

Barnaby Rudge, and Hard Times.
Oliver Twist, Pictures from Italy, and
American Notes.

A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Ex-
pectations.

Christmas Stories, and Sketches by
Boz.

The Uncommercial Traveller, and
Additional Christmas Stories.

These Volumes are sold separately or in Sets.

Illustrated Edition, each volume containing Sixteen Full-page Illustrations, made expressly for this Edition, elegantly bound in Green Morocco Cloth, $1.50 a volume; Half Calf, $3.00. Plain Edition, tastefully bound in Crimson Morocco Cloth, $1.25 a volume.

OF THE COMPLETE WORKS OF

CHARLES DICKENS.

THIS Edition is unquestionably the best and most desirable of all the editions of Mr. DICKENS'S Works now published, in the following respects:

LARGE TYPE. This Edition is printed from larger, better-faced type than any other, and the page presents an open, attractive appearance. ILLUSTRATIONS. - This Edition contains (as no other does) all the original illustrations by eminent English artists, - CRUIKSHANK, PHIZ, JOHN LEECH, SEYMOUR, CATTERMOLE, and others, -printed from the original plates, in which the spirit and delicacy of the early etchings are preserved.

FINE SHAPE. It is convenient and altogether comely in shape; the volumes are as handsome in form and external appearance as they are desirable on account of their beauty of type and illustration.

CONTINUOUS PAGING.- Each volume is paged continuously, instead of having two or more series of pages, as in books made up of two or more separate volumes.

CHEAPNESS.

This Edition is much cheaper than any other edition for the Library. It is published at the exceedingly low price of Two Dollars a volume.

AUTHORIZED EDITION. This Edition, which MR. DICKENS characterizes as "The Best Edition of my Works,"-together with the Charles Dickens and Diamond Editions, is issued under the special authorization of MR. DICKENS, and these are the only American Editions authorized by him, and in which he is pecuniarily interested.
