OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Mrs. Holmes' stories are universally read. Her admirers are numberless. She is in many respects without a rival in the world of fiction. Her characters are always life-like, and she makes them talk and act like human beings, subject to the same emotions, swayed by the same passions, and actuated by the same motives which are common among men and women of every day existence. Mrs. Holmes is very happy in portraying domestic life. Old and young peruse her stories with great delight, for she writes in a style that all can comprehend."--_New York Weekly._

=The North American Review=, vol. 81, page 557, says of Mrs. Mary J. Holmes' novel, "English Orphans":--"With this novel of Mrs. Holmes' we have been charmed, and so have a pretty numerous circle of discriminating readers to whom we have lent it. The characterization is exquisite, especially so far as concerns rural and village life, of which there are some pictures that deserve to be hung up in perpetual memory of types of humanity fast becoming extinct. The dialogues are generally brief, pointed, and appropriate. The plot seems simple, so easily and naturally is it developed and consummated. Moreover, the story thus gracefully constructed and written, inculcates without obtruding, not only pure Christian morality in general, but, with especial point and power, the dependence of true success on character, and of true respectability on merit."

"Mrs. Holmes' stories are all of a domestic character, and their interest, therefore, is not so intense as if they were more highly seasoned with sensationalism, but it is of a healthy and abiding character. Almost any new book which her publisher might choose to announce from her pen would get an immediate and general reading. The interest in her tales begins at once, and is maintained to the close. Her sentiments are so sound, her sympathies so warm and ready, and her knowledge of manners, character, and the varied incidents of ordinary life is so thorough, that she would find it difficult to write any other than an excellent tale if she were to try it."--_Boston Banner._

==>The volumes are all handsomely printed and bound in cloth, sold everywhere, and sent by mail, _postage free_, on receipt of price [$1.50 each], by

CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS.

A NEW EDITION.

Among the many editions of the works of this greatest of English Novelists, there has not been until _now_ one that entirely satisfies the public demand.--Without exception, they each have some strong distinctive objection,--either the form and dimensions of the volumes are unhandy--or, the type is small and indistinct--or, the illustrations are unsatisfactory--or, the binding is poor--or, the price is too high.

An entirely new edition is _now_, however, published by G. W. Carleton & Co., of New York, which, in every respect, completely satisfies the popular demand.--It is known as

"=Carleton's New Illustrated Edition.="

COMPLETE IN 15 VOLUMES.

The size and form is most convenient for holding,--the type is entirely new, and of a clear and open character that has received the approval of the reading community in other works.

The illustrations are by the original artists chosen by Charles Dickens himself--and the paper, printing, and binding are of an attractive and substantial character.

This beautiful new edition is complete in 15 volumes--at the extremely reasonable price of $1.50 per volume, as follows:--

1.--PICKWICK PAPERS AND CATALOGUE.
2.--OLIVER TWIST.--UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.
3.--DAVID COPPERFIELD.
4.--GREAT EXPECTATIONS.--ITALY AND AMERICA.
5.--DOMBEY AND SON.
6.--BARNABY RUDGE AND EDWIN DROOD.
7.--NICHOLAS NICKLEBY.
8.--CURIOSITY SHOP AND MISCELLANEOUS.
9.--BLEAK HOUSE.
10.--LITTLE DORRIT.
11.--MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT.
12.--OUR MUTUAL FRIEND.
13.--CHRISTMAS BOOKS.--TALE OF TWO CITIES.
14.--SKETCHES BY BOZ AND HARD TIMES.
15.--CHILD'S ENGLAND AND MISCELLANEOUS.

The first volume--Pickwick Papers--contains an alphabetical catalogue of all of Charles Dickens' writings, with their exact positions in the volumes.

This edition is sold by Booksellers, everywhere--and single specimen copies will be forwarded by mail, _postage free_, on receipt of price, $1.50, by

G. W. CARLETON & CO., Publishers, Madison Square, New York.
