The publishers of the DIME NOVELS have the pleasure of annoenc- ing a specinl engagement with Epwarp 8. Extis, Esq., the author of ” Seth Jones,” by_ which he will devote his best labors exclusively to their service, and will write for no other publishers whatever. A series of Splendid Romances of Frontier, Indian, and Trapper’s life have been arranged for, to- appear as follows, viz.: December 1st, “Bill Biddon, Trapper; or, Life in the North-West ;” January 15th, “The Frontier An- gel: A Romance of Kentucky Ranger’s Life;’ and others to issue March ist, May 1st, July 15th, and October ist of the ensuing year. The resources of our early history, of our frontier settle. ments and experiences, of Indian life and character, offer a field of inexhaustible richness to the writer whose knowledge of that field is ac- curate and thorough, and whose talent is especially adapted for that ex- citing yet historical narrative. Such writers,—at whose head must be placed Cooper,—are very rare. Mr. Ellis is one of them. The appearance of “ Seth Jones” marked the advent of a brilliant and charming writer in the almost untrodden field. Such a success has rarc- ly been witnessed in the history of our literature. Everybody heard of it, talked of it, and read it,and everybody was thoroughly satisfied with ‘its unique interest, humor, and happy characterisations. A new mine has been opened ; and, to render it ezelusively available to the readers of this series of national and American romances, the engagement above referred to has been made.
