[W. Harrison Ainsworth.] Proof from the Bentley archives of advertisement leaves for Part II of his novel 'Jack Sheppard' (with illustration by George Cruikshank), and 'The Tower of London' (to be published in 'Bentley's Miscellany') and 'Guy Fawkes'

2pp., 12mo. Printed side by side on one side of a piece of 23 x 29cm wove paper, with blank reverse. In fair condition on aged and dusty paper. The left-hand page is headed 'NEW BURLINGTON STREET, Dec. 6', and has the slug at the foot: 'PRINTED BY T. BRETTELL, RUPERT STREET, HAYMARKET, LONDON.' It advertises the forthcoming publication in 'Bentley's Miscellany' of two titles. The first 'On January 1st, with the Magazine, will be published, price 1s., handsomely printed in 8vo., the First Number of The Tower of London'; and the second '"Guy Fawkes," in Bentley's Miscellany, (To be published at the end of December')'. The right-hand page also has Brettell's slug (omitting 'LONDON'). It is a full-page advertisement for Part II of 'Jack Sheppard' ('To be completed in Fifteen Weekly Parts'), and has an illustration by Cruikshank (done for the purpose?) of a young apprentice boy standing on a stool in a workshop, with playbills around him and one at his foot, his left hand reaching up over a beam with the words 'JACK SHEPPARD' on it.
