EOUTLEDGE'S SERIES OF ORIGINAL NOVELS. 
Critique from a leading London Journal, 
"We are glad to perceive that a spirited firm has at length determined to break 
through the old and costly system of publishing original novels in the establishedl 
three volume form, at the fixed price of one guinea and a half; a system that, from 
the altered circumstances of library production, has become unsuitable to the ex- 
panding requirements of the age, and which has satisfied neither the author, who 
could obtain only an inadequate remuneration for his work, nor the reader, who 
could not afford to purchase it at an extravagant price, and who w^as consequently 
obliged to depend upon the irregular and imperfect supply which the generality of 
circulating libraines afforded. To remedy these evils, George Rootledge & Co. 
have announced a New Series of Original Novels, each to be completed in One 
Volume, at prices varying from One to Two Shillings, a sum so moderate, that it will 
have the effect of throwing open a vast, and hitherto an almost inaccessible, field of^ 
literature to all classes of the reading public, and of drawing forth fresh and vigorous 
talent amongst the rising authors of the country. The Publishers have already com- 
menced their undertaking with * The Curse of Gold,' by R. W. Jamieson— a power- 
ful and well sustained novel— indeed, we know of nothing since 'Monte Cristo' that 
can be compared to it. If Messrs. Routledge be as fortunate in the selection '^f the 
succeeding works of their Series as in this initiatory volume, we augur for it a Success 
greater than has attended the most successful undertakings of these fortunate 
publishers."
