Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Phytologist, 1862-3, Vol. 6: A Botanical Journal
That readers have increased (probably a hundredfold), is proved by the success of the Penny Literature, as it may be called, viz. The penny daily and weekly newspapers, and the many useful and popular miscellanies, filled up with facts, fancies and fiction, which have obtained, and deserve to have, an immense circulation.
