PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEMENT.
IT is with great pleasure that the publishers announce the issue, in book form, of a complete and uniform edition of the works of EMERSON BENNETT, of which "THE OUTLAW'S DAUGHTER" is the initial volume.
The writings of Mr. Bennett have been for so many years known to all English-speaking peoples, who have everywhere shown such full and eager appreciation of his vivid description of American frontier life, that comment on our part, further than a mere announcement of the forthcoming series, would seem unnecessary.
Apart from the vivid interest of these novels as works of fiction, they contain, incidentally, a mine of most valuable information, relating to the scenery, people, and customs of Border Life, unapproached in graphic eloquence by any American author since the days of Cooper.
