Messrs. Mbthuen have in preparation an edition of those novels of Charles 

 Dickens which have now passed out of copyright. Mr. George Gissing. 

 whose critical study of Dickens is both sympathetic and acute, has written an 

 Introduction to each of the books, and a very attractive feature of this edition 

 will be the illustrations of the old houses, inns, and buildings, which Dickens 

 described, and which have now in many instances disappeared under the 

 touch of modern civilisation. Another valuable feature will be a series of 

 topographical and general notes to each book by Mr. F. G. Kitton. The books 

 will be produced with the greatest care as to printing, paper and binding.
