Reading edition
SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
ATHENÆUM.—"Handy in form, well printed, illustrated with reduced re-productions of the original plates, introduced with bibliographical notes by the novelist's son, and above all issued at a most moderate price, this edition will appeal successfully to a large number of readers."
SPEAKER.—"We do not think there exists a better edition."
MORNING POST.—"The edition will be highly appreciated."
SCOTSMAN.—"This reprint offers peculiar attractions. Of a handy size, in one volume, of clear, good-sized print, and with its capital comic illustrations, it is a volume to be desired."
NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE.—"The most satisfactory edition of the book that has been issued."
GLASGOW HERALD.—"None of the recent editions of Dickens can be compared with that which Messrs. Macmillan inaugurate with the issue of Pickwick.... Printed in a large, clear type, very readable."

MANCHESTER EXAMINER.—"These volumes have a unique interest, for with each there is the story of its origin."
QUEEN.—"A specially pleasant and convenient form in which to re-read Dickens."
