Count Ludwig, and other romances. By Charles Dickens, with stories by Jerrold, Moore, Ainsworth, and Allan Cunningham. Now first collected into a single vol. H. G. Daggers, 30 Ann st. Price 25 cts.

Count Ludwig is one of the most remarkable of its author's productions containing not the slightest evidence of his peculiar and brilliant genius. The changes of an author's style forms a curious chapter [page 285:] in the history of literature, and the study of Count Ludwig in contrast with the other writings of Boz, is an interesting subject for the critic.
