BY THE MOST DISTINGUISHED WRITERS OF THE DAY. 
EDITED BY LEITCH RITCHIE, 
“ Author of “ Schinderhannes, the Robber of the Rhine,” “ Heath's Picturesque Annual, 
“ Turner's Annual Tour,” “ Romance of French History,” 
“ London Nights’ Entertainments,” “ Game of Life,” &c. 
PRICE ONLY SIX SHILLINGS PER VOLUME; 
Each Volume complete in itself , and equal in size to three volumes of the modem hovels. 
Thirteen volumes of this work — allowed to be the boldest literary speculation to which 
the euterprize of the age has given birth — are now published; the reception they have met 
with — the praises lavished upon the work, and upon the romances individually, by the 
British press, have, been warm and universal ; each volume has been reprinted in America 
the instant it arrived ; they have almost all been translated into German, many into Trench ; 
and some have been reprinted at Paris, in the original language, for the accommodation ot 
the English abroad. This splendid, and unparalleled success has been the Proprietors best 
and most gratifying reward for their exertions, and, at this announcement ot the termination 
of their labours, calls for their respectful acknowledgments. They now beg to apprise those 
who may not have completed their sets, that several of the volumes are nearly out of print, 
and that, to secure copies, it will be necessary to give orders for them immediately. 
The Fourteenth volume, which will complete the Series , will appear on the first of February. 
The public will thus, for the trifling sum of Four Guineas, be in possession of the cheapest, 
and most complete Library of Original Romance that has ever appeared, and which, in the 
usual Novel form and extent, would have cost upwards of Twenty Guineas ! !
