Many Still Read Dickens.

Charles Dickens has been ruled out by a class of ! tbe younger literary critics as a decided back number, but tiie statement by his British publishers that during the past three years the sale of his books has been almost doubled seems to refute that Idea. Some of Dickens’ novels sell more than 50,000 every year, and he has been dead forty-eight years. His pales during the last ten years have been larger. It Is asserted, than those of any three novelists put together.
