      THE CHEAPEST MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD . On Saturday , May 17 , 18 . ) l , will be published in Weekly Nos ., Demy 8 vo ., Twelve Pages , Id ., and in Monthly Parts , 6 d ., 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 ot the habit ? 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 Tales which are the results of travel and founded on realities will never cease to uttract 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 are about to find a temporary home amongst us , appears peculiarly the time to commence the " Tales of all Nations , " in the pities of which will be described the rise and progress , the homes and habits , the thoughts and sentiments , the domestic life and Kocial conditions of our interesting visitors . Nor will the interest of these tales be confined to this period . Containing tales of ancient an well as modern times , of agea glowing with chivalry and romance , as well as treating of the more bombre realities of tlin present , they will exhibit the manners and customs of people in every era of the world , and form a I'KUMANKNT LIBRARY OF ILLUSTRATIVE ROMANCE . Kaeh tale will be completed in from two , to three or four numbers . The thrilling interest of the whole will be thim concentrated , while the inout striking and interesting- points will be ILLUSTRATED BY SI'IlUTEl ) ENGRAVINGS . London : E . Appleyard , 8 ( 5 , Karringdon-utreet ; and all bookbellerH . Orders bhould be given immediately .
