" Among the most surprising instances of the immense revolution which has talcen 
place of late years in popular literature, are the cheap publications of Messrs. Rout- 
ledge and Co., of Farringdon Street. For several years they have now been issuing 
the ' Railway Library,' and have shown an energy and enterprize in many fields of 
literature almost unparalleled in this country. We believe the great success which 
they have met with has arisen from the universally-popular character of the works 
they have issued. Their books are never above and never below the standard of 
public taste. 
" Running our eye down the list of works which have already appeared, we are 
surprised most agreeably to find the names of the most distinguished of our living, 
or recently deceased, authors, and these, too, most represented here by their best 
works : — Fenimore Cooper's world-renowned Indian romances and sea-tales — Jane 
Austen's truthful tracings of English country life— Carleton's thrilling Irish stories. 
Miss Sedgwick and Miss M'Intosh give us their sketches of American manners. 
Gleig, Grant, and Captain Curling offer their military adventures for our amuse- 
ment; and Nathaniel Hawthorne produces his wonderful romances, which, once 
>ipened, seize upon the attention with a grasp not to be unloosed or shaken off. 
Then come the historical pictures of the incomparable and inexhaustible Dumas, 
"W. Harrison Ainsvvorth, G. P. R. James, the author of • Whitefriars,' ' Whitehall,* 
and ' Caesar Borgia.' Other well-known names also enrich the list we have before 
us. Nor does it lack the names of old favourites, — Miss Porter's best-liked romances, 
and Godwin's finest tales. With the incomparable Bulwer (who, as the author of 
•Pelham,' * The Caxtons,' and * My Novel,' is assigned the highest place among 
modern writers of fiction) are appearing some of the fine sketches of modern fashion- 
able life with which Mrs. Gore has hitherto only delighted the more wealthy and 
privileged of English readers. Mrs. Grey's home pictures — Marryat's sea tales — 
Hannay's best work, • Electra' — and ' Rockingham,' by a highly-gifted mind, are 
here included, with many others. Looking over this list of books, which some few 
score of shillings will place upon any person's bookshelves, we cannot but wish the 
* Railway Library' a continuation of the immense sale which has hitherto attended 
it."
