The Dickens Advertiser - A Collection of the Advertisements in the Original Parts of Novels by Charles Dickens (Hardcover)

1930. 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. Contents: The Advertisers of the Dickensian Era; Ancient and Modern; Pickwick; The Young Person; Literature; Smoking; For the Head; Mr. Moses; Dress; The Pill; and Old Friends.
