Dickens’ Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings of Charles Dickens so strong a hold upon the hearts of parents as the well-known excellence of his portrayal of children and their interests. These delineations, having received the approval of readers of mature age, the different child characters have been detached from the large mass of matter with which they were originally connected, and presented in the author’s own language to anew class of readers, to whom the little volumes will be as attractive as tho larger originals have proven to the general public. A series of twelve volumes has been prepared, presenting among others tho following characters: “ Smike,” from Nicholas Nickleby ; “Little Nell,” from The Old Curiosity Shop; “The Child Wife,” from David Copperfield; “The Boy Joe,” from Pickwick Papers, etc., etc. A new edition of the first volume of the series, “Little Paul,” from Domboy and Son, has iust been issued, illustrated by Darley, and •.tUactively bOUna. rru<, ..ill shortly follow. Sent postpaid for $1.00; or any volume will be sent w ith a year’s subscription to the New York Tribune (weekly) for $2.00; or any two volumes with a year’s subscription to the Independent for $3.00.
