First American editions of three works, published by Wiley and Putnam's "Library of Choice Reading." The first 2 have a half-title identifying the series, the Dickens title does not, but it does not seem to call for a half-title. The series note, apparently, was on the original wrappers, or cloth. The first two works are both fiction.
