THE CHEAPEST FAMILY MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD . Published Weekly , in demy 8 vo ., Twelve Pages , and in Monthly Parts and Volumes . TALES OF ALL NATIONS : FORMING A LIBRARY OF ILLUSTRATIVE ROMANCE . The love of Romance and the desire to be acquainted with the deeds of other nations and other times , the interest with which we hear of the habits and customs , the thoughts and opinions of those who can only be known to us through the medium of others , are among the chief reasons of the popularity of Tales and Personal Narratives . The glowing regions of pure fiction pall upon the taste . Unsupported by probability , the most poetic flights of fancy become insipid : while Tale 3 which are the results of travel and founded on realities will never cease to attract -while there is a thought to be expressed , or any place or custom to be described . The period when ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH would find a temporary home amongst us appeared peculiarly the time to commence the " Tales of all Nations , " in the pages of which are described the rise and progress , the homes and habits , the thoughts and sentiments , the domestic life and social conditions of our interesting visitors . Nor will the interest of these Tales be confined to this period . Containing Tales of ancient as well as modern times , of ages glowing- with chivalry and romance , as well as treating of the more sombre realities of the present , they will exhibit the manners and customs of people in every era of the world , and form a P 15 RMAMENT LIBRARY OF ILLUSTRATIVE ROMANCE . Each Tale will be completed in from two to three or four numbers . The thrilling interest of the whole will be thus concentrated , while the most striking and interesting points will be ILLUSTRATED BY SPIRITED ENGRAVINGS . London : 15 . Appleyard , 86 , Farringdon-street ; and may be rdered of all Booksellers . i No . 1 and 2 contain " The Crimes of the Rich and the Poor ;—•• The Will , " & c . ^
