_The changed conditions of publishing in the English-speaking countries, brought about by the American Copyright Legislation of 1891, have made it possible--without doing injustice to the authors--to issue new and original works of fiction in a form immediately accessible to the large class of readers who are unwilling to be permanently and entirely beholden to the Circulating Libraries. Mr. Heinemann has therefore made arrangements with a number of the first and most popular authors of to-day,_ _ENGLISH, AMERICAN, AND COLONIAL,_ _which will enable him to issue new and original works of theirs in a Series to be known as the CROWN COPYRIGHT SERIES at a uniform price of FIVE SHILLINGS per volume._ _These novels will not pass through an expensive two or three volume edition, but they will be obtainable at the Circulating Libraries as well as at all Booksellers and Bookstalls._ _The following volumes are now ready_:-- ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN. By AMELIE RIVES, Author of "The Quick or the Dead," &c. THE PENANCE OF PORTIA JAMES. By "TASMA," Author of "Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill," &c. INCONSEQUENT LIVES.
