y the publishers,
according to the act of Congress. Further than this every number is
complete in itself, no double numbers, and all the books are of uniform
size.

There is another feature, and perhaps the leading one that has brought
this publication into general favor, and that is its pure and wholesome
tone. While the romances are filled with thrilling adventures, many of
them founded upon history, not a profane or vulgar word mars a single
page, and low expressions or slang phrases, which have contaminated too
much of the cheap literature of this country, will not be found in THE
NICKEL LIBRARY.

While the stories are enjoyable to the highest degree, the forest
adventures give so correctly the habits and customs of aboriginal
tribes, that a knowledge of the red man's traits and cruelties will be
gained and retained more vividly than when found in any other form.
