My plan is to confine the selection , whether m _PoetryorProse—whetherEssays—Characters—Stories—Descnp- tive . Narrative , or Dramatic Verse—Remarkable Adventures-- Moral and Religious Exhortations-to pieces of sufficient length to occupy half an hour ' s ordinary reading , —or to pieces which ' can be so connected aa to supply the same amount ol instruction and amusement . Each Weekly Number will contain 8 even Half-Hours , of a varied character ; every Seventh day-being _se- _lected from some theological writer of _universsl acceptation and authority . The larger extracts , forming distinct " Half-Hours , are selected from about two hundred and sixty different writers . In the smaller pieces , whieh are grouped under some general head , will be found selections from about forty writers , who have not contributed , to the larger extracts . The work , therefore , will contain SPECIMENS OF THREE HUNDRED WRITERS . Each Number will consist of Twenty-four large Octavo Pages . The issue for the year , —or half an hour ' s reading for every day in the year-will thus be formed of Twelve Hundred and Forty Pages , equalin quantity to _« ix ordinary octavo volumes , to be purchased for six shillings and sixpence , in Weekly _Paymeuts of Three Halfpence . I presume to think that it is my duty—pursuing the same end with others who are labouring in a right direction to counteract the influences of a degraded cheapness in the market of books , and hoping to « assist in the righteous object which honest and able Miscellanies have in view—to make this ex peri- ment , at the tame rate of extrinsic cheapness , to substitute what has been proved to be excellent in Literature , for what no one can doubt is filling our gaols , and making the ability to read a national curse instead of a blessing . CHARLES KNIGHT . 90 . Fleet-street , March 29 , 1850 .

And on Saturday , March 30 , Nuhbbe 1 , to be continued Webkly , price Eightpence . The Work now announced is the commencement of a New Series of _Cyclopedias , founded upon the vast treasury of original materials in " The Penny Cyclopaedia . " The publication will commence with the IMPERIAL CYCLO- _PJEDIA OF GEOGKAPHY , Modern and Ancient . A Complete Gazetteer , to accompany the celebrated Maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge , has long been desired by the thousands who possess those invaluable _AtlaseR . But it may alto be asserted that a Geographical _Cyclopedia , at once original , full , accurate , and cheap , is a desideratum for the general Public . Such a Work is of daily necessity . It addresses itself , aa of paramount utility , to the cursory reader , and the diligent ¦ _tudent . The mo at important and interesting features of a new Geogra- phical _Cyclopajdia must be the articles peculiarly relating to the British Empire . In our own country the great scientific 1 m- _provements of the age have produced such rapid changes in the aspect of our cities and towns , and in the condition of our people , that new information is a matter of necessity for the man > f business , of gratification for the inquiring tourist , and of earnest thought for every lover of his country . Such information , however , cannot , in a work like this , branch out into the minute letails of parochial or family history . But even within the ne- _iessary limits of a geographical work , as distinguished from a _. opographical , a body of facts may be produced of universal mlue , when no labour is spared to ensure fulness and accuracy , kgain , the exact state of our Colonial Possessions is a subject to vhich the public attention is directed with an earnestness never _tefore _witnessed ; their physical geography , their political con- lition , their natural resources , their commerce , have become of _iniversal importance to the people of the United Kingdom . For _hese reasons it in intended to commence " The Imperial Cyclo- i ( edia " with , THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE ; ' o form Two Volumes , with Steel Engravings , and numerous _Joloured Maps . And to be completed in Twelve Monthly Parts t Half-a-Crown , and Forty-eight Numbers at Eightpence . London : Charles Knight , Fleet-street .

The following are some of the critical opinions which have already appeared of this popular romance : — « a richly-coloured impassioned story , busy with life , impor- tunately strong in its appeals to our sympathy . We have a glimmer of that burning , breathing life which the Warwickshire deer-stealer could throw into _hia Cleopatra * and Cressida . ' Coriolanus' and Brutus . ' This commands and will win the crown . "—Athenccum . •' An able , a skilful , and a powerful romance . The author has a painter ' s eye for description , much eloquence , with tenderness , if not pathos . "—Spectator . *• This romance will place Mr . Collins in the foremost rank of historical romancists . "—Literary Gazette . •« We have read these volumes with absorbing interest , and ther are destined to be read by thousands with no less interest and delight . "—Morning Post . " There is a charm about this story which cannot fail to insure its popularity and success . It abounds with passages of sur- passing beauty and striking eloquence . "—Morning Herald . " A remarkable book . The author need not fear comparison with any writer in the field . "—Observer . •« Written with the pen of a master . The interest of the story is never suffered to flag for want of incident . "—Britannia . Mr .
