Messrs. Cassell and Co. are bringing out a new popular
series under the title of " Cassell's Famous Reward Books." To go back to the oldest, we find in the list The Pilgrim's Progress, Gulliver's Travels, and Robinson Crusoe. Then comes The Vicar of Wakefield, followed by The Swiss Family Robinson ; Sir Walter Scott is represented by Ivanhoe, and Captain Marryat by Midshipman Easy and two others. We have also Washington Irving's Sketch-book, Grimm, and Andersen. Of Dickens we have Oliver Twist. Captain Cook's Voyages and Southey's Life of Nelson furnish a change from fiction. The most recent work is Westward Ho! The volumes vary in length from three hundred to five hundred and thirty-four pages, and are illustrated each with one coloured and three black-and-white plates. Among the artists' names we see Gordon Browne (three), C. E. Brock (three), G. Soper (three), E. S. Hodgion (two), Miss M. L. Attwell (two), Archie Webber (two), Tom Day, A. E. Jackson, and C. Clark. The price of each volume is ls. 6d.
