This cannot fail to be an
extremely interesting book to the great army of admirers of Dickens. His
books always bear the unmistakable imprint of the master, novelist's
mind--in his fun, satire, and humor going hand in hand, as well as in
his sincerity and interest in the poor. Everything that Dickens wrote
has upon it the mark of genius, and this book will come as a delight to
many.

PRIZE CONTEST
Owing to the improper character of many of the prize contests which have
recently been offered by many papers and to the criticisms which have
been called forth by them, we have decided that it is best to withdraw
the contest begun in No. 55. We know that these contests are of great
interest to our readers, and hope that we shall be able to renew them in
the near future without subjecting ourselves to the risk of criticism
which so properly attaches to any of the prize contests being published.
