      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 aiid 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 attract while there is a thought to be expressed , or any place or custom to be described . The period when ALL THE N ATIO N S OF TH E E ART H 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 homen and habits , the thoughts and sentiments , the domestic life and social condition * 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 jlowiri" 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 PERMAMENT 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 thu 3 concentrated , while the most striking-and interesting points will be ILLUSTRATED BY 8 PIUITED ENGRAVINGS . London : E . Appleyard , 86 , Farringdon-street ; and may be ordered of all Booksellers . No . 1 and 2 contain " The Crimes of the Rich and the Poor ;** " The Will . " &c .
