Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia.. Some of the very best works in cotUemporaneous literature have already been given a place in Ibis series. Not only have tbe publishers culled in choicest fields for rare works, but they have enshrined the worthy works selected in sightly and durable cask' ets, and wisely and praiseworthy they have ignored tbe catch penny device of printing a famous work from worn type on paper of wretched quality and then binding it badly in flimsy paper covers. As a continuafioif of this remarkable “Dollar Series’’ the Mosars. Peterson have jus* issued "Woman’s Wrongs,” by Mrs. Eiloart, being an entire? ly true yet graphic description df the legal wrongs that' English wives and mothers wed to worthless husbands are "compelled to endure.
