Messrs. METHUEN 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.
