The immense popularity of the four romances of which Dick Talbot (“Injun
Dick”) is the center of interest, impels the publishers to put them into
volumes of convenient size and attractive style, each volume to be a
complete story, and to be sold at the remarkably reasonable price of
Twenty Cents.
Unable to keep these most noted of all Mr. Aiken’s productions in print,
as _serials_, in the New York Saturday Journal, their appearance in book
shape will be welcomed by those who, having read all or a portion of the
romances, as serials, wish to reperuse them, and to have them in
permanent form; while, to those who have heard of the stories, but who
have not been able to obtain them, this announcement will be received
with satisfaction.
To readers in general it may be said with truth that in this series they
have several of the most brilliant novels which American literature has
offered—a combination of Bret Harte, Gustave Aimard and Charles Reade,
that gives us the New School of Romance of which every American may well
be proud.
The following is the order of issue:
Rocky Mountain Rob. Now ready.
Kentuck, the Sport. Ready.
Injun Dick. Ready.
Overland Kit. Ready.
