DICKENS FOR THE PLATFORM
Readings from the Works of Charles Dickens
As Arranged and Read by Himself
With Portrait of Dickens giving a public reading, by Alfred Bryan, and an Introduction entitled "Dickens as a Reader," by the late John Hollingshead.
Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net
In issuing in a convenient form the readings from the Works of Dickens which the novelist himself arranged and used at all his public recitals in this country and in America, the publishers are conforming to a repeated demand from admirers of Dickens's writings and from elocutionists in general.
These readings were issued some years ago, but have long been out of print.
The unique value of the works of England's most popular novelist for platform recital is becoming more and more generally realised, and no better guide for this purpose can be found than these extracts arranged especially for public performance, and used before so many thousands by their "only begetter" himself.

Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net
This is a special edition of "A Christmas Carol," the profits on which will go to the Lord Mayor of London's fund for establishing a permanent Home for Crippled Children. It is especially printed by Messrs. T. and A. Constable, of Edinburgh, on antique paper, and contains reproductions of Leech's famous pictures, printed in colour, alter the style of the originals. In addition, Fred Barnard's charming drawings, which he did for the Household Edition, carefully reduced to suit the page, are included, and the volume is appropriately bound, with a figure of Scrooge on the back and that of Bob Cratchit carrying Tiny Tim home from church on the front cover, both executed in gold. There is an introduction from the pen of the Lord Mayor, and there can be no doubt that for such a deserving object such an appropriate undertaking will meet with the success it deserves.
