TWENTY-NINff DIFFEEENT EDITIONS. #gg~ No Library or Household -whatever can he complete -without having in it a Sett of ~©8 ti®~ one of the following Editions of the Works of Charles Dickens. ~©s Published by T. B. PETERSON ^ BROTHERS, No. 306 CHESTNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA, Who will deliver to any person, to any place in this country, free of expense for freight or express charges, a complete sett of either of the Twenty-Nine Editions, on their sending to us a draft for the amount, of whatever edition they may wish, in a letter. "PETERSON'S" are the only complete and uniform editions of Charles Dickens' works ever published in the world, and are the only editions published in this country. The works of an author like Dickens cannot be too extensively diffused. No one can rise from a perusal of his writings without having been instructed as well as amused. The cause of religion, virtue and morality finds an advocate on every page. It is in this spirit that the publishers of the complete editions of the works of Charles Dickens have undertaken to present them to the American people. They suppose that they could not render a better or more acceptable service to the great mass of readers than by placing such a publication within the reach of the whole mas.s of the American people. The revised uniform London edition, from which these are reprinted, comprised Two Hundred and Forty numbers, and was issued to subscribers only, the cost of which complete, was One Hundred Dollars. No library, house- hold, or family, can be complete without having in it a complete sett of the works of this, the greatest of all living authors. 1 DUODECIMO ILLUSTRATED EDITION. Complete in Twenty-Five Volumes, and published in Seven Different Styles. The Editions in Duodecimo form are beautifully Illustrated with over Five. Hun- dred Steel and Wood Illustrations, from designs by Cruikshank, Phiz, Leech, Browne, Maclise, etc., illustrative of the best scenes in each work, making it the most beautiful and perfect edition in the world, and the volumes will be found, on examination, to be published on the finest and best of white paper. This edition of Dickens' Works is now published complete, entire, and un- abridged, in Twenty-five beautiful volumes, and supplies what has long been wanted, an edition that shall combine the advantages of portable size, large and readable type, and uniformity with other standard English authors. The Duodecimo edition alone has been gotten up at an expense of over Forty-Five Ttwusand Dollars, but the publishers trust that an appreciative public will repay them for the outlay, by a generous purchase of the volumes. All they ask is for the public to examine them, and they are confident they will exclaim, with one voice, that they are the handsomest, and cheapest, and best illustrated Sett of Works ever published.

It is the LARGEST DETECTOR, It is the MOST COMPLETE, It is the MOST PERFECT, It is the MOST RELIABLE, And is the BEST DETECTOR of Counterfeit, Altered, and Broken Bank Notes ever published. JjUT Petersons' Counterfeit Detector and Bank Note List was enlarged on January 1st, 1859, by adding sixteen pages more to each number, making it the largest and fullest Detector in this Country ; and its usefulness to the business community has also been greatly enhanced, and it now challenges comparison with any work of the kind now in existence ; and it is a known fact that the same amount of useful matter to all Storekeepers cannot be procured in any other shape at any price. The corrections in the Bank Note List, as relates to the discount on Notes, quotations as to the value of all Bank Notes, Lists of New Counterfeits, etc., are made by the well-known Banking House, all over the world, of DREXEL & CO., 34 South Third Street, Philadelphia, WHOSE QUOTATIONS WILL BE FOUND TO BE RELIABLE AND TRUE. The Publishers having for a long time seen the necessity and want of an entirely CORRECT, INDEPENDENT, AND RELIABLE COUNTERFEIT DETECTOR AND BANK NOTE LIST, to be entirely uncontrolled by any one to suit private ends and purposes, are confident that, from the means and sources of information which the Publishers and Editors of this Detector have at their command, it will be found at all times to be COMPLETE, CORRECT, and RELIABLE.
