HARPER'S LIBRARY

OF

SELECT NOVELS.

THIS favorite series of novels, begun more than thirty-five years ago with the publication of Bulwer's Pelham, now contains over six hundred volumes, and the names of the most popular novelists of England and America, whose works, in this neat and inexpensive form, have been a source of pleasure and culture in thousands of American households. No other collection of novels in the world presents so varied, so rare, or so large an amount of excellent and entertaining literature. Each volume has been carefully selected; and so rigid has been the supervision of the list, that the admission of a work into the series has been, as it will continue to be, an ample guarantee of rightful claim to public favor, and of its entire suitableness for family reading.

OF

AMERICAN FICTION.

THIS new series of novels will be devoted exclusively to the works of American authors. Beginning with one of the most striking and powerful stories which have been offered to the public in many years, it will present in a short time a list of novels which the publishers venture to hope will make it a favorite with American readers. Only works of a very high order of literary merit, and none which the most fastidious taste would exclude from the family circle, will be placed on the list. The volumes belonging to this series will appear in a brilliant and attractive cover, on which, in a graceful and appropriate design, the characteristic products of the North, South, and West are artistically combined. It will be the aim of the publishers to make their new Library truly national in character, and representative of the literary activity of the whole country.
