ANNOUNCEMENT IN "HOUSEHOLD WORDS" OF THE
APPROACHING PUBLICATION OF "ALL THE YEAR ROUND"

After the appearance of the present concluding Number of Household
Words, this publication will merge into the new weekly publication, All
the Year Round, and the title, Household Words, will form a part of the
title-page of All the Year Round.
The Prospectus of the latter Journal describes it in these words:
"ADDRESS
"Nine years of Household Words, are the best practical assurance that
can be offered to the public, of the spirit and objects of All the Year
Round.
"In transferring myself, and my strongest energies, from the publication
that is about to be discontinued, to the publication that is about to be
begun, I have the happiness of taking with me the staff of writers with
whom I have laboured, and all the literary and business co-operation
that can make my work a pleasure. In some important respects, I am
now free greatly to advance on past arrangements. Those, I leave to
testify for themselves in due course.
"That fusion of the graces of the imagination with the realities of life,
which is vital to the welfare of any community, and for which I have
striven from week to week as honestly as I could during the last nine
years, will continue to be striven for "all the year round". The old
weekly cares and duties become things of the Past, merely to be
assumed, with an increased love for them and brighter hopes springing
out of them, in the Present and the Future.
"I look, and plan, for a very much wider circle of readers, and yet again

for a steadily expanding circle of readers, in the projects I hope to carry
through "all the year round". And I feel confident that this expectation
will be realized, if it deserve realization.
"The task of my new journal is set, and it will steadily try to work the
task out. Its pages shall show to what good purpose their motto is
remembered in them, and with how much of fidelity and earnestness
they tell
"the story of our lives from year to year.
"CHARLES DICKENS."
Since this was issued, the Journal itself has come into existence, and
has spoken for itself five weeks. Its fifth Number is published to-day,
and its circulation, moderately stated, trebles that now relinquished in
Household Words.
In referring our readers, henceforth, to All the Year Round, we can but
assure them afresh, of our unwearying and faithful service, in what is at
once the work and the chief pleasure of our life. Through all that we are
doing, and through all that we design to do, our aim is to do our best in
sincerity of purpose, and true devotion of spirit.
We do not for a moment suppose that we may lean on the character of
these pages, and rest contented at the point where they stop. We see in
that point but a starting-place for our new journey; and on that journey,
with new prospects
