MURRAY'S

READING FOR THE RAIL:

A Series of

Cheap Books in large Readable Type, Brought out at short intervals, and varying in prices from One Shilling and upwards.

The aim and object of the publisher, in this Series, is to disseminate sound and entertaining information and innocent amusement, instead of the trivial, and often immoral, publications which are for the most part offered to the notice of RAILWAY READERS. He designs to introduce a class of works at once cheap, valuable, and instructive, not merely to be read on the Railway, and thrown aside at the end of ¦ the journey, but such as shall deserve a permanent place on the shelves of the library.

It will thus form an appropriate sequel || to the Home and Colonial Library.
