37, King Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C. 2 963 OZ A CHRISTMAS CAROL. IN PROSE Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, by Charles Dickens. This is an attempt to produce a set of Slides which shall be really worthy of Dickens’s great Christmas Story. All the finest of the old designs have been retained, and a number of new ones drawn specially, and as a result we have produced a finer set of Slides than has ever before been available. A special edition of the story has been published, as condensed by Charles Dickens himself for Public Beading, with only such slight alterations as are neoessary to fit it for use with piotures. It is printed in bold type, so as to be easily read in a bad light, and every paragraph which contains remarks made by Scrooge is printed in heavy black type so as to facilitate the change of voice in reading. This abridged edition takos one hour to read and can be loaned with the slides. The Set can be hired only. Loan fee for one night, 12s. 6 d.

AKS A TALE OF TWO CITIES. By Charles Dickens. We have also published an extremely fine Set of slides on what is perhaps the ereatest work of CharleB Dickens, “ A Tale of Two Cities.” 6 The pictures are mostly from the striking designs painted for Messrs. Chapman * Hall’s new edition. As it is almost impossible to "cut down” the original book so as to make an interesting and connected story, the whole has been rearranged and partly rewritten by Mr. B. K. Dent, late Chief Librarian of the Aston Manor Public Libraries, so that it oconpies about one hour to read. 1 2 3 4 6 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Strictly copyright.
