BEADLE & ADAMS’ New Twenty Cent Novels!
Reading edition
ALBERT W. AIKEN’S Celebrated Dick Talbot Romances!
The immense popularity of the four romances of which Dick Talbot (“Injun Dick”) is the center of interest, impels the publishers to put them into volumes of convenient size and attractive style, each volume to be a complete story, and to be sold at the remarkably reasonable price of Twenty Cents.
Unable to keep these most noted of all Mr. Aiken’s productions in print, as serials, in the New York Saturday Journal, their appearance in book shape will be welcomed by those who, having read all or a portion of the romances, as serials, wish to reperuse them, and to have them in permanent form; while, to those who have heard of the stories, but who have not been able to obtain them, this announcement will be received with satisfaction.
To readers in general it may be said with truth that in this series they have several of the most brilliant novels which American literature has offered—a combination of Bret Harte, Gustave Aimard and Charles Reade, that gives us the New School of Romance of which every American may well be proud.
The following is the order of issue:
Rocky Mountain Rob. Now ready. Kentuck, the Sport. Ready. Injun Dick. Ready. Overland Kit. Ready.
Sold by all newsdealers; or sent, post-paid, to any address, on receipt of price—Twenty Cents each—by
