From the Prefatory Note: The object of this book is to reproduce some of the more entertaining advertisements that appeared in various of Dickens's novels, as they were published in their original monthly parts. The notion was not my own but that of a friend whose sense of humour was fired by a casual glance at some of those precious green numbers.
