T HE £ook MARKET.
NEW YORK, June 1st, 1874.
Although the lists of new books from our pub-
lishing houses have, with few exceptions, been
light, the issues during the month have exceed-
ed the demand, and in the general dulness, even
the best books have failed to receive much at-
tention. Some volumes which would have been
eagerly sought for in a more active season, have
fallen flat upon the market. The list for the
month includes a number of works which have
been stereotyped for months, and been an-
nounced several times, and their publishers had
to take the risk of issuing them now or with-
hold them till fall. -
The Harpers have issued in a large octavo vol-
ume, entitled Northern California, Oregon and the
Sandwich Islands, Mr. Charles Nordhoff’s
papers on those places, which have been printed
in their Magazine ; Dr. Schweinfurth’s Heart of
Africa, in two volumes ; Motley's Life of John
of Barneveld ; Five Minute Chats, “with young
women and certain other parties,” by Dio Lewis;
A Fast Life on the Modern Highway, by Joseph
Taylor, and of novels, Anthony Trollope's Lady
Anna ; Wilkie Collins' Queen of Hearts ; Juhn
Worthington's Name, by Frank Lee Benedict;
My Mother and 1, by Mrs. Craik ; and At Her
Mercy, by Jas. Payn. A book of travel by an
enterprising, wide-awake journalist seldom fails
to be interesting, and Mr. Nordhoff's second
book certainly deserves a place amó-g the best.
The author's newspaper experience has taught
him what will most interest his readers, and
this book, like his California, while full of graphic
descriptions and lively gossip, is free from the
tiresome details and dry matter of fact which is
always dreaded by the reader of such books.
The chapters on the Sandwich Islands are
especially entertaining and full of valuable in-
formation. The Heart of Africa is admirably
translated by Ellen E. Frewer, and contains an
introduction by Winwood Reade. It is a very
interesting narrative of the explorer's adventures
during three years of travel in a portion of Cen-
tral Africa, to which but one besides himself,
Sir Samuel Baker, has succeeded in penetrating.
Dr. Schweinfurth ranks among the first explorers
of this or any age, and his extensive work,
besides being a most valuable contribution to
science, is, without doubt, the most entertain-
ing book on Africa ever written. It is illus-
trated with the author's own sketches. Dio
Lewis's book consists of brief and readable
talks on subjects connected with health and
morals. Upon these topics he is always viva-
cious and instructive. The writer of A Fast
Life on the Modern Highway is evidently a prac-
tical railroad man, and the book is just the one
with which to while away the tedious hours of
a journey by rail. It gives an account of the
workings and management of a railway, the
uses of signals, time-tables, etc., and descrip-
tions—frequently laughable, and interspersed
with lively anecdotes—of the work and duties
of the various employees. Mr. Motley's Life of
John of Barneveld is historical more than bio-
graphical, embracing in its scope the whole of
Europe. The papers, now first exhumed from
the archives of the Hague, throw much light
on the events in which the subject of the volume
took part.
Henry Holt & Co. have published The Orelan
Insurrection of 1866-7-8, by William J. Stillman,
late U S. Consul at Crete, a well written and
intensely interesting account of a sad event
in modern history; Recent Art and Society,
and a condensed compilation of Mr. Hewlett's
bulky Memoirs of Chorley. The work of con-
densing has been well done by Mr. C. H. Jones,
who has preserved everything which is likely to
interest Americans, and given to us a volume
of delightful reading. The other books from
Holt & Co. are Sacred Anthology, a harge work by
M. D. Conway; a smaller volume by the same
author, entitled The Earthly Pilgrimage; two
novels from Turgenieff, in one volume, in the
“Leisure Hour Series,” Spring Floods and a
Lear of the Steppe ; two of Auerbach's books in
the same series, viz., Little Barefoot, and Joseph
in the Snow; and early in the month, Auerbach's
Waldfried. The two stories of Turgenieff’s are
both good, the last in the volume dealing with
strange scenes and having a somewhat weird
interest. This is translated from a French ver-
sion, by William H. Brown, the other directly
from the Russian, by Miss Sophie M. Butts.
Berthold Auerbach, who holds a high place
among German writers, pronounces Waldfried
Y 90
THE AMERICAN Books ELLERS GUIDE.
his best work. It is a story of German home-
life during the last two wars, and the political
changes which attended them. It is written
naturally and with force, possessing the prime
requisites of a novel, and yet it is, as the
author intended it should be, something more
than a novel, interweaving German philosophy
and German history, and blending fact and fic-
tion so harmoniously as to muake the work
highly readable, and of such a character that it
will attract attention throughout the world.
D. Appleton & Co. have published a novel
entitled Beauseincourt, by the author of Miriam
Monforl; a lengthy treatise on the Surgical Dis-
eases of live Urinary Organs, designed as a
manual for students and practitioners, by Doc-
tors W. H. Van Buren and E. L. Keys; a trea-
tise on Mental Physiology, by William B. Car-
penter, M. D.,LL.D.; and Proctor's Expanse of
Heaven. The last volume is a series of brilliant
essays on the wonders of the universe, as
brought to light by the late astronomical dis-
coveries. Prof. Proctor has done more than
any other living writer to popularize the study
of his favorite science, and this book is as fas-
cinating as a popular novel. The elegant dic-
tion, profound knowledge, and vivid imagina-
tion which he displays on its pages, invests the
book with a charm which is not easily resisted.
Dr. Carpenter's Mental Physiology is a work that
will attract much attention, from the well-estab-
lished reputation of the author, and also for
the views which he sets forth on the relation of
mind to matter, and his treatment of the mor-
bid conditions of the former. He divides his
work into two parts. The first part, “General
Physiology,” is learned and Scientific, giving a
clear and minute description of the nervous
systems of living organizations, from the sim-
plest to the most complex, and following this,
the mental attributes. The second treats in a
masterly manner of Memory, Common Sense,
Imagination, Unconscious Cerebration, —under
which he includes “Planchette writing ' and
the various “spiritual manifestations"—Mes-
merism, Animal Magnetism, Delirium, In-
sanity, etc. This part of the volume is very in-
teresting, abounding with anecdotes and sug-
gestions.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have issued the
volume on Revelation, which completes Lange's
extensive “Commentary on the NewTestament,”
edited by Dr. P. Schäff; Forgiveness and Lato,
by Dr. Horace Bushnell, a volume treating of
the nature and necessity of the atonement ; the
fourth volume of Dr. Ernst Curtius’ History of
Greece ; and the initial volume of “Bric-a-Brac
Series,” Personal Reminiscences of Chorley, Planche
and Young, edited by R. H. Stoddard. This is
one of the most entertaining books of the season
and gives abundant assurance of the success of
the series. Its motto is “Infinite riches in a
little room,” and without violating it in respect
to space, this volume is certainly rich and at-
tractive, its contents culled from three of the
best anecdotal books in the language, the re-
miniscences of Chorley the critic, of Planche
the play-writer, and of Julian Charles Young,
who has been famous as a tragedian with two
generations of theatre goers.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have issued two English
books of sanitary value. The first is “the result
of forty years' experience” of John Murray,
M. D., Inspector General of Hospitals, and is
entitled Observations on the Pathology and
Treatment of Cholera. Dr. Murray's practice
has been mostly in India, and his work
will be read with interest. The second book is
less scientific but quite as important. It is Sami-
tary Arrangements for Dwellings, by William
Earsie. It is illustrated by plates, and gives an
abundance of good advice to architects and
builders. This house have also issued An Epi-
lome of Therapeutics, by W. I. Stone, F. R. C. S.;
and Passages from the Life of Charles Knight, an-
other book of reminiscences, which have lately
grown so popular. Knight was born in 1791
and died in 1873 ; and his recollections extend-
ed almost from the beginning of the century.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have published two
translations from the French : She Loved Him
Madly, a novel, by Goutran Borys, and Female
Beauty and the Art of Pleasing, the first part
from Dr. A. Cazenave, the second from Ernest
Feydeau. It is very Frenchy, full of receipts
and directions for preserving the hair, the com-
plexion, the figure, &c. She Loved Him Madly,
is a passably good story of contemporaneous life
in France, with all the scenes and plots and
characters which go to make up an ordinary
French novel. The volume is the forerunner
of a series of translations from the French,
which Carleton & Co. propose to publish,
Pourquoi, by Chavette and A Fatal Passion, by
Charles de Bernard, are underlined.
Robert Carter & Brothers have published a
pretty little story for children, entitled Little
Triaſ, or Grandma's Lessons; A Golden Sunset, a
little volume by Dr. J. R. Macduff, giving an
account of the last days of an exemplary and
devoted Christian servant; and an illustrated
volume of travel by Henry Day, entitled A Lavo-
yer Abroad; What to See, and How to See it. Mr.
Day is a practical New York lawyer, and in his
tour through Europe, he detected and recorded
many things in regard to the people, their so-
cial customs and condition, which other travel-
lers have failed to see. Most of the matter ap-
peared in his letters to the N. Y. Observer,
where they attracted much attention. They
have all been corrected and some of them re-
written for this volume.
E. P. Dutton & Co. have published Dr. F.
W. Farrar's Life of Christ, which has been very
flatteringly received by the critics and the pub-
lic. Dr. Farrar has travelled extensively in the
Holy Land, and his descriptions of the scenes
in which the Saviour passed His life, and the
people among whom He lived, are vivid and
real. The work is learned, without being dry
and technical ; religious, without the semblance
of cant; and candid and earnest, without dog-
matism or even boldness. It possesses a glow
of religious feeling which is wanting in most
other works of its kind. It is written neither
for the learned nor the unlearned, but for that
large class of readers who are cultured and have
correct literary tastes, but are not profoundly
learned in Theology or Greek. Dr. Farrar is
well known here to such readers by his volume

of sermons, The Silence and Voices of God, and
they gladly welcome a continuous work from
his pen like The Life of Christ.
BosTon, June 1st, 1874.
There is a light demand for books, and our
publishers have issued but few new volumes.
They are nearly all available, however, for
the “summer campaign,” and include a num-
ber which will attract special attention.
Estes & Lauriat have issued an American
edition of Victor Hugo's The Rhine; A Tour
from Paris to Mayence, by the way of Aix-la-
Chapelle, from Aird's translation, which was
first published in England about ten years ago;
a new edition of Passages from the Life of Charles
knight; another charming little book on insects,
in the “Half Hour” series, Packard’s Re-
lation of Insects to Man; and a treatise on
Coal as a Reservoir of Power, by R. Hunt, F. R.
S. These little “half hour" books are not
only entertaining, but, as compilations of scien-
tific facts in convenient and cheap form, are
valuable. These two are among the best in
their respective series. Hugo’s Tour on the
Rhine is a handsome octavo, full of entertain-
ing descriptions of curious places and events,
legends and reminiscences, written in a style
which will please even those who object to the
author's epigrammatic novels. The abridged
edition of The Life of Charles Knight is a vol-
ume of pleasing reminiscences, not only of the
industrious publisher and author, for whom
Douglass Jerrold proposed the epitaph “Good
Knight,” but also of Scott, Macaulay, Brougham,
and many other celebrities. Estes & Lauriat
have nearly ready the first volume of Camp-
bell’s Lives of the Lord Chancellors, bound uni-
form with their edition of the same author's
Chief Justices, and containing nineteen illustra-
tions ; a second edition of Phillips' Famous
() uses of Circumstantial Evidence, which has been
revised and enlarged by the addition of many
new cases. This is the only work of the kind
published, and one that is almost indispensable
to the legal student or practitioner, besides being
of general interest. The author is well known
by his work on Evidence, and his introductory
essay in this volume on the Theory of Presump-
tive Proof, adds greatly to its value. The other
immediately forthcoming books from this house
are Memories of Westminster Hall, a collection of
anecdotes, incidents, and sketches relating to
Westminster Hall,—its lawyers, judges, and
trials, compiled by an American, with an his-
torical introduction by Edward Foss, F. R. S.,
and illustrations; and a Memoir of Thomas,
First Lord Denman, by Sir Joseph Arnould, in
two volumes, uniform with Campbell's Chief
Justices. In a few weeks they will publish Our
Vacations, and How to Ejoy Them, “being an
account of the cheapest and best method of
spending a few weeks at the White Mountains,
the Seashore, the Canadas, and other popular
resorts ; written to assist those who desire to
get the largest possible amount of recreation
and enjoyment for the Smallest amount of
money ’’
Henry L. Shepard & Co., the successors to
Shepard & Gill, have published Jules Wernes
Adventures in the Land of the Behemoth ; Nuga
Inutiles, containing very clever, and in some cases
ludicrous Latin versions of Mother Goose rhymes,
‘‘The Heathen Chinee,” and some more serious
selections, with a few pages of laughable fables,
all accompanied by the English originals;
Money and Music, an art story by Charles Bar-
nard ; and a cheap edition of Edward Sprague
Rand's Flowers for the Parlor and Garden, at just
one half the price of the former edition. Jules
Werne's book is also very cheap, being printed
on tinted paper with twenty full-page illustra-
tions and richly bound. As it has never before
been printed in this country, it will no doubt
meet with a ready sale. Money and Music by
the editor of Voa, Humana, and author of The
Soprano, portrays the struggles of a music
teacher, in her endeavors to convert her art
into bread. The dedication is likely to frighten
the ordinary novel reader: “To Eugene Thay-
er, whose friendship was the inspiration of
those scientific and technical parts of this book,
that alone give it any value;” but we can assure
the reader that it is a good story, containing
excellencies aside from those which are scienti-
fic or technical. The imprint of the publishers,
on the last, instead of the title page, looks odd
enough. Shepard & Co. have in press and will
issue in a few days, the first volume of a series
to be known as “Tribune Popular Science,” to
consist of the scientific papers, addresses, etc.,
which compose the “Tribune Extras.” This
volume comprises ten lectures by Proctor, seven
of Agassiz's lectures at Penikese, Whittier's
“Prayer of Agassiz,” Bayard Taylor's letter on
the Discoveries on the Site of Ancient Troy,
six of Brown-Sequard's lectures, and as much
other matter, making a large octavo volume
at the very low price of one dollar and a half.
D. Lothrop & Co. have published a Life of
Charles Summer, written by Rev. J. Chaplin and
his wife, Mrs. J. D. Chaplin, daughter of Dum-
can Dunbar, who was so closely identified with
the anti-slavery cause in its earlier days. The
volume which has an introduction by ex-Gov-
ernor Claflin, extends to 504 pages, and gives
glimpses of Mr. Sumner's social life, a full ac-
count of his life's work against slavery, tracing
the advances made in the contest from the
time he entered into public life, and his con-
nection with it. The authors do not claim that
this is a complete biography, but it is very read-
able and will commend itself to the public. It
is finely illustrated with heliotype portraits and
engravings. Lothrop & Co. have just ready a
book of sketches of the temperance crusade,
which takes its name from the title of the first
story, Modern Prophets. There are fourteen
stories written by Pansy and Faye Huntington,
and illustrated. Stella and the Priest, a story
by Laurie Loring, will be ready in a few weeks.
Also, Knights and Sea-Kings, giving a history of
the romantic Knights of Malta, and a general
view of chivalry, its rise and decline, by Dr. S.
F. Smith. They also have in press a new edi-
tion of Banvard's Plymouth and the Pilgrims,
which has been revised.
Henry Hoyt & Co. have nearly ready a new
edition of Mrs. Alden's (Pansy) temperance
story, The Three People; Charley Bartlett's Ad-
I92

ventures, a story of home and school, for boys,
full of life without exaggeration; The Promise
and the Promiser, the sixth volume of the
“Anna Shipton" series; Miriam Brandon; or,
Conflict and Victory, an excellent story for young
ladies, by Mrs. J. F. Moore ; and Rose, Robin,
and Litlle May, a story of domestic life, for
children. They have also in preparation two
question books on the International subjects
for Sunday-schools for 1875, and a volume of
notes or comments on the same, all of which
will be brought out in the fall.
James R. Osgood & Co. have published a
new and cheaper edition, revised and enlarged,
of Clarence King's Mountaineering in the Sierra
Nevada; the first two volumes of a new edition
of Robert Buchanan’s works, revised and re-
arranged by the author, and to be comprised in
five volumes; a volume of Poems, by H. R.
Hudson; The Legend of Jubal and other Poems,
by George Eliot; an American edition of Bae-
deker's European Guide-Books; Baddeck and
That Sort of Thing, by Chas. Dudley Warner, and
The Queen of the Regiment, by Katherine King.
Volume first of the new edition of Buchanan's
works contains “Meg Blane,” “Ballad of
Judas Iscariot,” “London Lyrics,” and a col-
lection of pieces never before published, also a
portrait of the author. The second volume
contains “Poems and Ballads of Life,” “Songs
of the Terrible Year,” and “Traces on the
Wall.” Mr. Hudson's poems are strong without
rudeness, and tender without effeminateness.
Many of them are already known to the public
through the newspapers, and their many ad-
mirers will be glad to possess them in this
permanent and elegant form. The new volume
from George Eliot contains eleven poems, of
which “The Legend of Jubal" is the first. It
is founded upon Jubal's invention of the lyre
and the birth of music, and although it is,
perhaps, the stateliest and most heroic in the
volume, it is by no means the best. Baddeck.
and That Sort of Thing, which has already ap-
peared in the Atlantic is printed in an attractive
little volume in the Saunterer's Series. It is a
lively and picturesque account of tourists' ad-
ventures in Canada. The Queen of the Regiment
is an English novel, which the London Spectator
pronounces “charming, fresh and cheery.”
Baedeker's Guide-Books are well known to
European tourists. They are convenient in ar-
rangement and form, accurate in their informa-
tion , and contain excellent maps. The series
includes a useful manual of conversation in
English, German, French and Italian. Osgood
& Co. publish them by special arrangement with
the European publishers. A new volume of
poems by Mrs. S. M. B. Piatt, author of A
Woman's Poem, published about three years
ago, will Soon be issued by Osgood & Co. Its
title is A Voyage to the Fortunale Isles. Mrs.
Piatt is the accomplished wife of the Librarian
of the House of Representatives, and one of
the few of the younger poets mentioned in
Griswold's Female Poets of America. Her new
volume is awaited with interest. This house
will also issue early this month a translation of
Gaboriau's La Corde au Com, and the first
volume of “Little Classics,” which will bear
the title Ecile, and will contain James Green-
wood's “A Night in a Workhouse,” Bret
Harte's “Outcasts of Poker Flat,” Hale’s “The
Man Without a Country,” and De Quincey's
“Flight of the Tartar Tribe.”
Lee & Shepard have published Sumner's
Prophetic Voices Concerning America, which was
announced for the previous month. It was first
published in the Atlantic Monthly, but has since
been revised by the author, and additions made.
The work bears evidence of much careful
thought. Mr. Underwood's novel, Lord of
Himself, will be issued in a few weeks. The
publishers announce it as “a powerful American
novel.” They will also have ready this month
The Bible Regained, and the God of the Bible Ours,
by Rev. Samuel Lee, who has attempted in
the work to present a system of religious truth
in outline, keeping in mind the fact that “think-
ing men are weary of ponderous volumes, and
they want books that are suggestive, being wil-
ling to do the thinking in detail.” As an at-
tempt to rescue the simple teachings of the
Bible from the fog in which too much discus-
sion has involved them, it is worthy of atten-
tion.
Roberts Brothers have issued Sara Coleridge's
fairy romance, Phantasmion ; Some Women’s
Hearts, or, Love Stories for Idle Hours, by
Louise Chandler Moulton ; and Sea and Shore,
a book of poetry for summer idlers, selected
from the best modern poets, by Miss Preston,
author of Love in the Nineteenth Century, and
Mrs. Goddard, wife of the editor of the Daily
Advertiser. Mrs Moulton is a charming writer,
who never allows the interest of her readers to
flag, and the “idle hours”cannot be more pleas-
antly spent than with her book of love stories.
hantasmion was given to the world years ago,
but a very small edition only was printed, and it
was soon exhausted. It is the author's only work
of fiction, and is remarkable for its purity, both
in conception and language. As a series of
beautiful, artistic pen pictures, it is scarcely ex-
celled in the language. Roberts Brothers will
reprint Hale's In His Name, uniform with their
18mo books, for which they have lately designed
new bindings. Lowell's story of boy-life, An-
tony Brade, will probably be issued during the
SUlDO DOleI’.
William F. Gill & Co. have been busy with
new editions of popular old books. They have
brought out J. T. Trowbridge's two books,
which had such a run ten years ago, Cudjo's
Cave, and The Three Scouts; also, Haunted
Hearts, by Maria S. Cummings, the author of
The Lamplighter. They have also issued a new
edition of Milch Cows and Dairy Farming, by
Charles L. Flint, Secretary of the Mass. State
Board of Agriculture. This work was first pub-
lished in 1858, but has been almost forgotten.
It is now revised and printed with the old cuts.
It is a very valuable work of its kind, giving di-
rections for breeding and managing dairy and
other stocks, and for the culture of forage
plants. The publishers have just ready Grasses
and Forage Plants, a companion volume to the
above by the same author, and a new novel, by
Edmund Yates, entitled A Dangerous Game,
which has much to do with theatrical life. They

will issue, about the middle of June, An Honest
Woman, by Victor Cherbuliez.
Loring has in press Lulu's Novel, from the Ger-
man of Elise Polko, reprinted from Old and New,
in which it was published several years ago
under the awkward title, She Writes. The fact
that Loring will print it, is proof enough that it
is a good novel.
A very useful little book, and one that de-
serves attention is The Parents' Manual, or Home
and Family, written by Professor Hiram Orcutt,
and published by Thompson, Brown & Co.
Professor Orcutt is a teacher of wide experience,
and his suggestions in regard to parents’ duties
to their children are entitled to consideration.
His previous book The Teacher's Manual on the
Same plan as this, has been extensively read
and appreciated.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1st, 1874.
There is a dearth of literary news in this city.
Business continues to be dull, and there is little
prospect of a change for the better till fall.
• Some of our publishing houses are making
active preparations for new issues, and their
publications during the month have kept them
comparatively busy; but many good books that
are ready for the press are withheld, and will
not appear until the early fall.
Porter & Coates have issued in their popular
series of novels, Mme. Schwartz's book, Gerda.
It is a highly wrought and very interesting tale,
and, without doubt, is the best of the works yet
translated of this pleasing author Gerda is
the story of a little girl, whose father, reduced
to a state of extreme poverty, is induced to
become an accomplice to crime, and in order to
escape the hands of justice, is obliged to fly
from his home, leaving his little daughter and
a sick wife entirely dependent on the charity of
others. The plot is carried forward by charac-
ters life-like and entertaining, and cannot fail
to interest. The “denouement’’ is a happy
one; the various characters receiving their re-
spective rewards and punishments in the usual
Orthodox way. The story is laid in Sweden,
and conveys a knowledge of the manners and
Customs of that nation. The tone of the book
is pure throughout, and the reader cannot lay
it aside without an inward feeling of admiration
for an author possessed with such noble senti-
ments and excellent qualities of mind as are
expressed in its pages. Valenline the Countess,
from the German of Carl Detlef, is also ready
in this series. It is translated by “M. S.,”
the translator of By His Own Might, and is a
novel of much merit. This house have issued
the third volume of the new “Fireside " edi-
tion of the Waverley Novels. It is printed in
excellent type, on fine paper, with steel illustra-
tions. The binding is stamped with a new
design expressly drawn for this edition. During
June they will issue new novels by Annie
Thomas and Holme Lee.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers seem not to be af-
fected by the dull times, as they continue to
print and, what is more to the purpose, to sell
their novels. During May they have issued
“The Conscript,” the famous historical romance
from the pen of Alexander Dumas, which gives
pictures of France from 1810 to 1814; “Kate
Kennedy,” a new and readable novel from Mrs.
Newby, being volume eight of the Newby
series ; “The Planter's Daughter, ' a ro-
mance fresh from the studio of the gifted
novelist Miss Eliza A. Dupuy; also the elder
Dumas' famous story of '92 and '93, “Love and
Liberty,” a narrative embodying, in a graphic
manner, the startling scenes of the first French
Revolution ; and “ Wondrous Strange,” still
another readable novel by Mrs. Newby. Dur-
ing the first summer month, the Petersons will
issue “The Orphan's Trials, or Alone in the Great
City,” by Emerson Bennett, a story of much in-
terest now being published in the Saturday
Night ; and a new illustrated edition of The Tower
of London, by William Harrison Ainsworth,
which will be presented to a new generation of
readers in an improved dress, as it well deserves;
being one of our best historical romances, blend-
ing fact and fiction so intimately as to de-
ceive at times even the closest historical stu-
dent.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued the second
and last volume of Prescott's Conquest of Peru,
carefully revised and edited in a scholarly man-
ner by Mr. John Foster Kirk, and handsomely
printed and bound ; and A Concordance to
Shakespeare's Poems, by Mrs. Horace Howard
Fürness, a fine octavo volume upon which the
author must have bestowed much patience
and careful study. It is very complete, giving
every word in the poems. The Cambridge edi-
tion is followed, and the poems are printed in
full at the end of the volume. The work will
be almost as valuable to students of Shakes-
peare, as Mrs. Mary Cowden Clarke's Concor-
dance to the plays, and the author is entitled to
great credit. Among the English books im-
ported by Lippincott & Co.. is Mr. Proctor's
The Universe and the Coming Transit, two books
in one, for it contains two series of essays, the
first devoted to the universe and its constitu-
tion ; the other devoted entirely to the coming
transit of Venus. The volume contains the
author’s charts and maps in sections. This
house have in press for publication in a few
days, the account of the Herald correspondent,
Mr. James J. O'Kelly, of his adventures in Cuba,
under the title of The Mambi Land. This prom-
ises to be a very interesting book, as it gives an
account of the author's imprisonment, describes
the system of warfare which has enabled a few
thousand men to resist the Government for
years, and gives graphic descriptions of their .
life in the mountains and forests.
Claxton. Remsen & Haffelfinger have pub-
lished Sabbath School Help, an exposition of the
International lessons in Mark, in a 16mo vol-
ume of about a hundred pages, by Rev. Dr.
Alfred Nevin ; and a new novel by Emerson
Bennett, entitled Villett Limden, or the Artist's
Bride The scene of the story is laid mainly in
Philadelphia, and like all this author's works,
it is full of action, plots and counter-plots.
Many of Mr. Bennett's admirers will probably
pronounce it his best work. The publishers
have prefaced the volume with a brief biograph-
ical sketch of the author's life.
Lindsay & Blakiston will shortly publish

LoNDoN, May 13th, 1874.
The Summer season has now fairly set in,
and the publishers' announcements include
but few important books. One of the great
books of the season will probably be the long
announced poem by Algernon Charles Swin-
burne, entitled “Bothwell,” a tragedy in five
acts. He is also said to have a version of the
story of “Ysolde,” in active preparation, but it
will not be issued until some time after “Both-
well,” which will be published this month.
There is a life of Samuel Lover in preparation
by an old friend and ardent admirer of the poet,
Bayle Bernard, the well-known adapter of so
many plays. It will be in two volumes—the
first being biographical, and the second con-
taining the literary remains and letters. Many
of the papers which he left are said to be
of great value, and the letters are gathered
from many sources. Canon Kingsley’s new
work, to be entitled “South by West,” will
give experience of Winter in the Rocky Moun-
tains, and Spring in Mexico. “Lyrics from a
Country Lane,” is the title of a charming col-
lection of poems by John L. Owen. They are
gathered into four sheafs, each representing the
season of the year to which they are most
appropriate. There is a new translation of
Horace's Odes, by R. M. H. Hovender, who
has undertaken the difficult task of putting
them in English verse. That most fertile of
modern poets, Nicholas Mitchell, has another
new volume, entitled . “The Heart's Great
Rulers.” The author of Olrig Grange has
just issued another poem, in six books, called
“Borland Hall” and has dedicated it to Mr.
Gladstone. “Coomassie and Magdala,” Mr.
Stanley's new book, is a spirited record of Brit-
ish powers and bravery, and his account of the
fighting is most stirring. King Koffee has a
good character given him, being represented as
both mild and hospitable, Miss Braddon's
“Lucius Davoreu" is having a very large sale,
and it is well deserved, for there is a freshness
about it not observable in many of her later
novels. Mrs. Oliphant’s “For Love and Life,”
and F. W. Robinson's “Second Cousin Sarah,”
are both worthy their author's reputation.
“Out of Court.” by Mrs. Cashel Hoey, is a
fascinating, healthy book. A most weird and
ghastly story is “The Mystery of Ashleigh
Manor,” by Eliza Rhyl Davies, who shows a
great dramatic power and holds the reader spell-
bound until the denouement. Henry Kiugs-
ley’s “Reginald Hetherege” is among the latest
announcements, as is also Lady Chatterton's
“Won at Last.” Messrs. Sampson Low,
Marston & Co. issue Dutton Cook’s “Young
Mr. Nightingale” and “B,” an autobiography
by E. Dyne Fenton, the curious title being sus-
tained by a still more curious motto, “Some
relish from the saltness of time,” from Shakes-
peare. Miss Christina Rossetti has a new vol-
ume of tales which will shortly be produced.
A new life of Allan Cunningham is being
prepared by the Rev. David Hogg. A third
edition of the English translation of “The Old
Faith and the New * is to appear shortly with
an original memoir of Strauss, by Miss Blind,
and a translation of Strauss's “Postcript.”
“Sylvia's Choice ’’ is the title of a novel, by
Georgiana M. Craik. After a great deal of talk
and conjecture the author of “Prince Florestan”
has at length been decided to be (much to every
one's surprise, for a great many people profess
to recognize him in one of the characters) no
other than Sir Charles Dijke. “Argus Fair-
burn,” by the author of “Gilbert Rugge,” is
quite a treat in the way of novels, for there is
not even a murder in it ; no, nor even a rob-
bery, and yet is a story that holds the reader's
attention till the close of the volume. A new
edition of “Pepy's Diary” will shortly be issu-
ed, containing the hitherto unprinted part,
which is being deciphered by Mr. Mynors
Bright, and which is said to relate to the thea-
tres of Pepy's time. The history of Japan from
the earliest period to the present time, by
Francis Ottiwell Adams, supplies a want that
has long been felt, for more information con-
cerning that country whose seclusion was so
rudely broken.
The Gentleman's Magazine for this month
contains a most interesting article on “The
Early Poems of Edgar Allen Poe,” by Dr. John
H. Ingram. It consists chiefly of an analysis
of a volume of poems, published by Poe when
a student at West Point, and the contents are
as rare in America as they are in England, for
they were published for private circulation only,
and the ridicule excited by the modest little
volume amongst the sensitive author's brother
Cadets, caused him to suppress and destroy all
the copies he could reclaim. George Sand
is writing a drama for the Odéon Theatre.
Thomas Cooper, author of “The Bridge of
History over the Gulf of Time,” and many
other well known works, has just issued a
collection of very charming tales entitled “Old-
fashioned Stories,” a very pleasing series, calcu-
lated to interest both young and old, Now that
the Czar is the topic of general conversation,
Mrs. Guthrie's book of travels in Russia is in
great demand.
Mr. C. G. Leland has in preparation a volume
of ballads in the English gipsy dialect, with mc-
trical English translations. He is assisted by
Professor E. H. Palmer, of Cambridge, and also
by Miss Tuckey, an author well known to the
readers of Chambers’ Journal. Mr. Herbert
Smith contributes specimens of Rommany
songs, collected from the gipsies who accompa-
nied him in his tour through Norway.

JOHN CAMPBELL.
This well-known bookseller of Philadelphia,
died at his residence in that city on the 29th of
April, at the age of sixty-four years. He was
born in the County Armagh. Ireland, but in
early life went to London, where he engaged in
the business of bookselling. In 1843, having
become involved in the Chartist movement, he
came to this country and established himself in
Philadelphia, where he remained till the time
of his death.
ELIEIU P. MARVIN, D. D.
Rev. Elihu P. Marvin, for several years editor
and proprietor of the Daily News, of Boston,
died in that city on the 11th of May He was
born in the State of New York in 1819, but dur-
ing his youth his family removed to Michigan,
where he was educated, graduating from the
Western Reserve College. He was pastor of the
Second Congregational Church in Medford,
Mass., from 1852 to 1865, and edited the Boston
Recorder from 1864 until it was consolidated
with the Congregationalist in 1867. In 1869 he
bought the Daily News, and conducted it until
his death. He took a lively interest in the tem-
perance agitation, and was a most zealous work-
er. His death resulted from a complication of
disorders, induced by over-work.
EDMUNID MORRIS.
Mr. Edmund Morris, the journalist and au-
thor, died at his residence in Burlington, N.J.,
on the 4th ult., in the seventieth year of his
age. He was well known to newspaper men as
the correspondent of the New York Tribune for
a number of years, and afterwards as the pro-
prietor of the Trenton, N. J., State Gazette. His
name is more familiar to the public as the au-
thor of the little book, Ten Acres Enough, pub-
lished in 1864. He was also the author of
Derrick and Drill, and How to Get a Fºurm, and
Where to Find One. His books found appreciat-
ive readers, and, as a journalist, he wielded an
able and a graceful pen. His genial nature at-
tached to him many warm personal friends, who
will most sincerely mourn his death.
I, SMITEI EIOMIANS.
Mr. I. Smith Homans, editor of the N. Y.
Bankers' Magazine, died on the 23d ult., after a
few weeks' illness, in the 67th year of his age.

in commercial and financial circles. Only a
few weeks since the deceased celebrated the an-
niversary of his golden Wedding.
JOSEPHI HAVEN ID. D., L.L. D.
Professor Joseph Haven, the distinguished di-
vine and author, died at his residence in Chica-
go, on the 23d ult , in the fifty-ninth year of his
age. He was born in the town of North Dennis,
Mass., and graduated with honor from Amherst
College at the age of nineteen. He afterward pur-
sued a course of theology at Andover, and took
charge of a parish in Ashland. In 1839 he be-
came pastor of a church in Brookline, and in
1850, accepted the chair of Mental and Moral
Philosophy in Amherst. This he occupied un-
til 1858, when he relinquished it to take the
chair of Theology in the Congregational Theo-
logical Seminary in Chicago. Professor Haven
wrote much on his favorite topics, mental and
moral philosophy, and his works are used as
text-books in most of our colleges and
Schools. In 1840 he wrote his celebrated review
of Paley's Natural Theology, and his review of
Dr. Bushnell on the Trinity. His works on
mental and moral philosophy were published in
the years 1858 and 1861. His last book, Studies
in Philosophy and Theology, comprised miscel-
laneous essays and addresses, and articles pub-
lished previously in the Bibliotheca Sacra, and
other reviews.

A. J. Fisher, New York, has brought out a
new edition of Oliver Byrne's Apprentice; or,
First Boole for Mechanics, Machinists, and En-
gineers. It is a practical elementary treatise,
containing so little of mathematical formula,
and with the matter so well arranged, that it
can be easily understood by an ordinary me-
chanic with very little previous study. There is
much in this work that is not found in the text-
books used in the schools, and the student of
mechanics will find it of great service in illus-
trating elementary principles.

lively essays, from Professor William Matthews,
of the University of Chicago. The first, from
which the book takes its name, treats in a cap-
tivating manner of the most famous talkers of
ancient and modern times. The others are upon
a variety of topics, including “The Battle of
Waterloo " (with map), “French Traits,”
“Popular Fallacies,” “Noses,” “Originality
in Literature,” etc., all full of learning and
life. The other volume is The World on Wheels,
a series of humorous, illustrated sketches, by
Benjamin F. Taylor, full of refined scholarly
humor.
The Autobiography of Edward Wortley Mon-
tagu, with a Preface by R. Shelton Mckenzie,
LL. D., Literary Editor of the Philadelphia
Press, is now in press, and will be published
in a few days by T. B. Peterson & Brothers,
Philadelphia. The London Evening Post,
in a review of it, says: “The Autobiog-
raphy of Edward Wortley Montagu is the most
remarkable book that has been given to the
public for many years. The author was the
only son of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, whose
career was, perhaps, one of the most extraordi-
nary of any woman in the annals of England
during the last two hundred years.”

Dickens' MS. of Our Mutual Friend has re-
cently been purchased by Mr. George W.
Childs. It is written in a small, cramped hand,
on blue paper, the sheets being pasted on
larger sheets, and bound in two thick quarto

liuing, and prefacilig each volume is the au-
thor's sketch of the plot, his list of characters,
and memoranda in regard to their introduction
and the parts they are to take, –showing the
methodical care with which the author worked.
The MS. is complete, even to the postscript
which refers feelingly to the railway accident,
in which Mr. and Mrs Boffin, “in their manu-
script dress for receiving Mr and Mrs. Lam-
mel at breakfast,” and also “Miss Bella Wilfer
in her bridal dress,” were involved.
In an article on “The Forty Immortals” in
the June Galaay, Mr Alfred Rhodes says: “The
man of letters of an éclatant talent, bearing the
seal of popularity, is not in favor among aga-
demicians as a rule When Victor Hugo
first offered himself, in the zenith of his fame,
he was defeated by an unknown man named
Emmanuel Dupaty ; when Du Vigny presented
himself, he was beaten by another of the un-
known called M. Empis. The greatest orator
of the French pulpit is Loyson, better known
as the Père Hyacinthe, and he is not of the
forty. The most gifted writer on Biblical and
Oriental literature is Renan, and it is doubtful
if he will ever sit in the Academy. Hippolyte
Taine and Edmond About stand at the head of
their respective branches of art, and neither be.
longs to it. The Academy possesses the first
historians in Guizot and Thiers, the first poet
in Victor Hugo, the first political orator in Jules
Favre, the first dramatic author in Emile
Augier, the first critic in Jules Janin ; and what
follows is mostly outside of it.”
Mr. E. Steiger, who persevered, notwith-
standing the apathy of publishers, in making a
collection of the periodicals of the United States.
for the Vienna Exposition, for which he received
a medal of merit, has published a handsome
catalogue of his collection of over eight thou-
sand publications, with an index of subjects,
with headings in English, French, Dutch, Ger–
man, Italian and Spanish. To the catalogue
he has added “an attempt at a catalogue of
original American books,” with a copious in-
dex to subjects. The latter is very imperfect
as a catalogue, as any first attempt must neces-
sarily be, but it shows what may be done in
that direction, and Mr. Steiger deserves great
credit for undertaking the thankless task.
Every one in the trade is ready to affirm that a
complete catalogue of American books would
be very valuable, yet very few are willing to
give the assistance which is required to make

of its kind in the world, that at the India Office,
containing thousands of Arabic, Persian and
Sanscrit manuscripts, is entirely without pro-
tection from fire.
General Cluseret writes from Geneva that the
French Government have given notice to the
Swiss Times that it must stop the publication of
bis “Reminiscences of 1870 and '72,” or the
paper would be stopped at the frontier. The
proprietors of the Times have broken their con-
tract with the author, and he is obliged to find
another publisher.
A correspondent of the Boston Pilot, writing
from Rome, says that out of the forty-seven
libraries of that city, but three are to be left.
These are to be increased by the addition of all
the books in the other libraries with the excep-
iton of 300,000 volumes. “From these the
Municipality will make certain selections.
Works regarding Rome, and works written by
celebrated Romans, or printed at Rome, will be
selected from these 300,000, and will form a
municipal library. To this will be added the
musical compositions gathered, with so much
patience and cost, by the Fathers of the Ora-
tory of St. Philip Neri ; these contain inedited
compositions by the celebrated masters of
sacred music, Palestrina and Pergolese. The
volumes remaining after this selection will be
catalogued, the catalogue printed and dispersed
through the various chief cities of Italy and
other countries, with the intention of selling
what remains.”

Boosey & Co. publish a ballad by J. L. Mal-
loy, entitled Polly. It is lively and spirited and
has a touch of the rollicking freedom of the
sailor.
Among the newest publications of Ditson &
Co. are two songs which are worthy of special
mention. They are My Golden Ship, by the emi-
nent English composer J. Barnby, and One
Morning So Early, by A. S. Gatty.
Walter Street, of Montreal, Can. has publish-
ed The Ministerial Galop, by Arthur E Overell,
which is not without merit, and is an excellent
piece for the practice of beginners. It bears on
the title-page a fine portrait of the Canadian
Premier.
Schaefer & Koradi, Philadelphia, have issued

of Glee Clubs and Singing Societies.
Schuberth & Co. are the American agents for
the new edition of Chopin's complete works,
published by Jurgenson of Moscow. This edi-
tion is in six volumes, compiled by Charles
Flindworth, and carefully corrected from the
original German, French, and Polish editions.
We have received from Lee & Walker, a copy
of their new collection of church music—enti-
tled “The Sabbath.” It is a handsomely printed
volume, containing nearly one thousand selec-
tions of the best old and new tunes, chants and
anthems, prefaced with the usual pages of in-
struction in rudiments.
W. H. Ewald & Bro., Jersey City, N. J., are

One of the most valuable song copyrights is

wards of fifty different arrangements have been

baritone in E b. It is also arranged as a
quartette.
Geo. Willig & Co., Baltimore, have sent us The
Wild Hunt, by Julius Müller, a spirited descrip-
tive piece, in keeping with the composer's other

Darling Sang, a tender melody with appropriate
accompaniment, by Harrison Millard, the popu-
lar song-maker; three sacred solos adapted and
arranged by J. Schomann, of which Jesus Sav-

The jStationery MARKET,
No improvement in trade has manifested itself during the month, and none is expected until after
midsummer.
Prices have stiffened slightly, but there is still a tendency to decline, owing to the overstocked con-
dition of the market.
Fine paper makers are running on two-thirds time, yet the supply exceeds the
demand, and there are rumors that they will shut down entirely for thirty or sixty days.

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
The Managers of The American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no dis-
appointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reference;
therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making remittances.
always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by mail is at risk
of parties sending. 4th. –The Wholesale Prices are net. ...We do not make any additional charges for packing or carting
in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.--Small orders receive the
same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.- We do not send New Papers and Magazines on sale to those
who specially order us not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, whless they order ws not to do so. We
believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as published to booksellers, unless specially
ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to customers free upon application. 9th.-Let-
ters, with full signature and address, should be enclosed with all remittances. 10th.-We enclose bill daily to costumers,
having parcels by Express, to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-Newsdealers pay the Postage on their Packages of
Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rates of postage as if paid quarterly in advance.
|POSTAGE TO NEWS DEA LIERS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. PAPER COVERED Novels same rates as Magazines
MAGAZINEs. Two Cents for every four ounces. #6üß$66;sº.º.º.º.º.º.o.”
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited with
what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly subscrip-
tions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in advance. Upon
finding out what papers you can dispose of you make out a list or order (enclosing the wholesale price per this list, to.
cover one week's papers) similar to this form:

UNIFORM TRADE LIST ANNUAL
IFor 1874-1875.
The forthcoming TRADE LIST ANNUAL, in addition to a much fuller represen-
tation of Publishers and Stationers' Trade Lists than in last year's volume, is to
contain a specially prepared Reference List of Books recorded in the Publishers’
Weekly from Jan. 16, 1873, to July 1, 1874 (eighteen months), all arranged in one
Alphabet, uniform with the Reference List of Books from Jan. 18, 1872, to Jan.
16, 1873—a feature which alone is worth the price of subscription. The volume
is expected to comprise over 1800 pages large 8vo, bound in cloth.
T E R M S.
. The price will be One Dollar per copy.
1
2. In order to insure the contributing publishers against any waste of material and unnecessary
expense, and ourselves against any risk which the low price would not warrant, only a very
limited number of copies will be bound beyond the number of copies subscribed for, and these
will be sold at a price justified by the value of the volume.
3. It is desirable that the subscription should be closed at the earliest date possible. In order to
comply with the generally expressed request to have the volume ready two months earlier than
last year, at least in time to be of use for making up Fall orders, publishers should be notified
of the number of Catalogues and Trade Lists needed by June 15 at the latest. Almost all the
shortcomings of last year's issue may be attributed to the short time given for the prepara-
tion of so eactensive a work.
4. No subscription can be accepted after the number of copies to be printed has been determined
'upon.
5. No subscriptions can be taken in account that have not been paid up when the number of copies
to be printed will be determined upon, as the Small amounts will neither bear the trouble, nor
the expense or risk of numerous accounts, bills, Statements, and subsequent collections.
6. Remittances should be made by money order on New York, or registered letter, as we cannot be
responsible for any losses. Receipt for remiltance, with attached order for delivery, will be
sent by return mail.
7. Booksellers, in their own interest, are requested to call the attention of librarians and large book-
buyers to the ANNUAL ; but copies ordered by the latter must be subscribed for through book-
sellers. Eaccept in the case of subscribers to the Publishers’ Weekly, all inquirers will be
referred to their local dealer.
Orders for over 1000 copies of the TRADE LIST ANNUAL for 1873–1874 were
received after publication day, too late to be filled by the publisher. It is to be
hoped that the disappointed, and the trade in general, will promptly come for-
ward this year. Address -

The authors, Mr. and Mrs. Chaplin, were intimately acquainted with Mr. Sumner's social
and public life, and have had abundant facilities for this work.
More extensive biographies of Mr. Sumner may be written, but none can ever be produced
which will convey more vivid descriptions of him as a man and a statesman, or which will picture
more faithfully the contest against slavery which formed his life's work.
The work has been purposely condensed and published at a low price, so as to place it within
the reach of all. We are confident that it will be one of the best selling books of the year.

the most important days, in many respects, of their Whole
existence. Many valuable suggestions are given here,
which, if carefully followed out, would save the litle one6

We are now prepared to issue the first nnmbers of the first series of Animals and Birds of North America ; these we
propose to continue, and to add to them a second series of foreign specimens, and a third of various Animals and Birds
in grotesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natural instincts.
We offer these views not as pictures only, but as studies from nature. One of the great moving elements in our modern
system of education is object teaching. The uperring fidelity of the stereoscope transfers the Animals and Birds from
their natural habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting
impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of each specimen.
An experience of more than twenty-five years as Taxidºrmist of the New York State Cabinet of Natural History, and
in gathering our large collection of native and foreign specimens, enables us to represent the results of our own work, and
to combine in every view the locality of the specimen with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and coloring from the
originals. Buck numbers and parts of sets always on hand.

º We are now prepared to issue the first nnmbers of the first series of Animals and Birds of North America; these we
propose to continue, and to add to them a second series of foreign specimens, and a third of various Animals and Birds
in grotesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natural instincts.
We offer these views not as pictures only, but as studies from nature. One of the great moving elements in our modern
system of education is object teaching. The uDerring fidelity of the stereoscope transfers the Animals and Birds from
their natural habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting
impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of each specimen.
An experience of more than twenty-five years as Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Natural History, and
in gathering our large collection of native and foreign specimens, enables us to represent the results of our own work, and
to combine in every view the locality of the specimen with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and coloring from the
originals. Back numbers and parts of sets always on hand. -

THE £ook MARKET.
. • NEw York, May 1st, 1874.
Universal quiet has prevailed in the book
trade during the month. In spite of the
general dulness, however, our publishers keep
steadily adding to their lists with a hopefulness
of the future which, to say the least, is com-
mendable.
D. Appleton & Co. have issued A Daughter of
JBohemia, a novel, by Christian Reid, which has
been running as a serial in Appleton's Journal,
and has added not a little to the value of that
publication. Miss Fisher is one of the few
Southern writers who can make a good novel.
This is probably her best work, and although
not brilliant, the plot is good and so ingeniously
developed, that the interest is sustained to the
end. The illustrations are excellent. The
Appletons have also issued a new revised edition
of Bain's Logic, Deductive and Inductive ; The
Science and Practice of Medicine in Relation to
Mind, by J. Thompson Dickson, A. M., with
photographic illustrations; and Responsibility in
Mental Disease, by Henry Maudsley, M. D., of
London, an interesting and valuable treatise on
a subject which is receiving much attention.
Dr. Maudsley is well known as an expert in
mental diseases, and this volume will, no doubt,
be accepted as authority in future cases of medi-
cal jurisprudence... These publishers announce
that they have in active preparation a work, to
be called Picturesque Europe, on the plan of
their Picturesque America, which has been re-
ceived with much favor, the drawings for which
are to be from sketches made by American
artists. They promise to give in this work
“the most exhaustive and artistically perfect
series of views of picturesque places in the Old
World ever published.”
A. J. Bicknell & Co. have published The
Carpenter and Builder's Assistant, by Lucius D.
Gould, a practical builder and architect. This
work is a revision of The House Carpenter’s
Assistant, issued several years ago, but now out
of print, with the treatise on mathematical in-
struments onlitted and much new matter added.
It is fully illustrated with plates, and gives
explicit directions for framing roofs, cutting
joints, finding the sections of the angular
pieces, mitreing circular mouldings and planes,
also the relative sizes of timbers required to
support a given weight, tables of weight and
strength of materials, and much other matter
designed to aid the carpenter in his work.
Robert Carter & Brothers have published
Crossing the River, a number of short papers
written with a view of inspiring cheerfulness
and resignation in last hours; Mabel Hazard's
Thoroughfare, by the author of the “Win and
Wear” series, in which an old maid tells in a
readable manner how she found her life shut
up, “without a thoroughfare through it,” and
how, through the aid of others' hearts and
hands and her own hopefulness, she at last
found her way out of that dreary state of exist-
ence; and The Gospel and its Fruits, by J. H.
Wilson, M.A., a handsomely illustrated volume,
in which the author has endeavored “to present
the Gospel in a way that may interest the young
and be understood by them.”
G. W. Carleton & Co. have published The Tale
of Two Cities, in their handsome edition of
Dickens's works; a little volume of verse under
the title Beldazzle's Bachelor Studies, which con-
tains a few good hits on Society; and a new
book by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, entitled Phemie
Frost's Ecperiences, telling quite facetiously how
a verdant old maid from Vermont set out on a
mission to reform society, and the mishaps
which attended her efforts. There is sufficient
plot to interest the ordinary novel reader, and
sufficient humor to make it pleasant reading.
Carleton & Co. have also brought out a new ed-
tion of Dr. Ruffini's charming story of Italian
life during the political disturbances of 1848.
The book has enjoyed considerable popularity
in the past, and will no doubt find many new
admirers.
J. B. Ford & Co. have issued the 9th and 10th
series of Beecher's Sermons, two handsome and
valuable volumes, which should find their way
to the shelves of every library. They include
his best discourses during the two past years,
and, like the previous volumes, are marked by
that vigor and brilliance which have made the
author so conspicuous among American divines.
His publishers have also issued, in tasteful bind-
ing, Mr. Beecher's Pleasant Tulks about Fruits,
Flowers, and Farming, which was first published
I 54
THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
in 1859, and is now enlarged by the addition of
some sketches more recently written, and his
address at Ionia Island on “The Political Econ-
omy of the Apple.” All the “Talks” exhibit
that happy combination of quiet humor with
wholesome instruction, for which the author is
famous. The other book on the April list of
this house is The Circuit Rider, “a Tale of the
Heroic Age,” by Edward Eggleston. This is a
story of the pioneer life of the American mis-
sionaries in the early West, the days when mus-
cular Christianity as well as pious zeal were
essential to success and safety, the time which
the enthusiastic author has termed the “Heroic
Age.” Although those days have long since
passed away, the graphic pictures of the men
and women among whom those early mission-
aries worked, and the vivid descriptions of the
incidents attending their labors, possess an his-
torical interest and will be widely read. The
illustrations are excellent.
Henry Holt & Co. have published a timely
book in A History of American Currency, by Wil-
liam G. Sumner, Professor of Political and
Social Science in Yale College. The plan of the
author has been to “leave the historical facts
to tell their own story without comment.” He
says further in his preface, and very truly, that
the history of American finance and politics is
a most Important department, which lies as yet
almost untouched, but the materials for such a
work are all in the rough, and it would require
very long time and extensive research to do any
justice to the subject. He has made, nothwith-
standing, a very interesting book, and one which
at this time, when the subject of finance is re-
ceiving a large share of public attention, will be
widely read. The volume contains also chapters
on “The English Bank Restriction ” and “Aus-
trian Paper Money,” and, in an appendix, the
famous “Bullion Report" made in 1810, by the
select committee of the House of Commons, on
the High Price of Gold Bullion. Auerbach's
new novel Waldfried has been translated for
Holt & Co., and will soon be issued here. The
author pronounces it his best work. It deals
with both the Austrian and French wars, and
some of the scenes are laid in America.
Hurd & Houghton have brought out an edition
for 1874, of that excellent book for travellers, A
Satchel Guide for Vacation Towrists in Europe;
and First Steps in General History, by Arthur
Gilman, author of Fºrst Steps in English Literature.
l3oth books are models in the way of showing
what can be done by judicious condensation.
Few persons have the time or the inclination to
wade through the cumbrous volumes of general
history, and yet a knowledge of it is indispens-
able to every well informed person. To such as
wish to obtain that knowledge in the shortest
possible time, this work will be very welcome.
Harper & Bros. have issued Baird's Annual
Record of Science and Industry for 1873; and
The Office and Duty of a Christian Pastor, by Dr.
Stephen H. Tyng. In the former book, all the
important scientific discussions and the eviden-
ces of progress in science and industry have
been carefully compiled by Professor Baird of
the Smithsonian Institute, with the assistance
of some of our most eminent scientists. It is a
volume of great value to students and all who
wish to keep up with the times in scientific
knowledge. Dr. Tyng's book contains five lec-
tures delivered before the Theological Students
of the Boston University, in September and Oc-
tober of last year, dwelling upon the duties and
qualifications, the agencies and power of the
pastor in his work outside of the pulpit, as well
as a preacher. . In May, the Harpers promise
Motley s Life and Death of John of Barneveld; The
Evangelical Alliance Conference, 1873, and Dr.
Schweinfurth's Heart of Africa, all of which we
have before noticed. -
James Miller has published Christ the Spirit,
in two volumes, by General E. A. Hitchcock, an
attempt, by analysis of the Gospels, to prove the
theory of the author, that they are the work of
a sect known as the Essenes, of which Jesus was
a member, and to state the view of Christianity
in its primitive days. Mr. Miller has also issued
in neat style, new editions of those old and long
ago popular novels of William Ware, Aurelian,
a story of Rome fifteen centuries ago; Julian,
in which the scenes are laid in Judea, in the
time of the Saviour; and Zenobia. Among early
historical novels these three must always hold
a prominent place, and they will always find
admiring readers.
The National Temperance Society, through
their publication house in this city, are indus-
triously engaged in the preparation of temper-
ance literature, and their works are of especial
interest at the present time. Among their
latest issues is a pamphlet on The Woman.’s Tem-
perance Crusade, by the well-known lecturer,
Rev. W. C. Steel, with an introduction by Dr.
Dio Lewis. It gives a concise history of the
late movement, its plans, methods of operation,
incidents, and humors of the campaign, also a
summary of the results. The Society have also
issued, in a tract of twenty-four pages, an elo-
quent treatise on The Duty of the Church Towards
the Present Temperance Movement, by Rev. Isaac
J. Lansing ; a large number of smaller tracts,
and two pretty little story-books, Humpy Dumpy,
by Rev. J. Jay Dana, and The Fatal Dower, by
Mrs. E. J. Richmond.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have published a trans-
lation by Prof. James Morgan Hart, of Auguste
Langel’s England, Political and Social; Sun Views
of the Earth, by Richard Proctor; Sketches of Il-
lustrious Soldiers, by J. Grant Wilson ; The Maid
of Orleans, by George H. Calvert; a novel by J.
Hilton Jones, with the title The Dominie's Son ;
and, in the binding and style of their “Handy
Book Series,” a Handbook of Statistics of the
United States, containing, in convenient form, a
record of events from the organization of the
Government to the present time, with brief bio-
graphical data of the Presidents, Cabinet officers
and menubers of the Continental Congress, state-
ments of the finances under each administra-
tion, and other statistics. It is compiled by M.
C. Spaulding. M. Langel's book is an able and
comprehensive study of a great nation, giving
clear views of her social and political institu.
tions, her policies and tendencies, her aristoc-
racy and her working people, and suggestions
as to her future that will command attention.
Though the author is a Frenchman, it is one of
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
155
the most important books on England ever
written ; quite as able as Taine's, and more
hilosophical. The translation by Professor
art, of Cornell, is an excellent one. Mr. Wil-
son’s Illustrious Soldiers is a series of twenty-five
brief biographies of those who have distin-
guished themselves on the battle-field, from
Gonsalvo de Cordova, to General Grant. The
book is in a handsome binding, and contains
four steel portraits and twenty-one autographs.
Mr. Calvert’s tragedy of The Maid of Orleans
differs from Schiller's drama in that it claims
to be strictly historical. The author claims
that the new facts which have been brought to
light since Schiller wrote, change very mate-
rially the characters and circumstances of the
tragedy, and make such a reconstruction neces-
sary. The volume is daintily bound in cream-
white muslin, relieved on the side by a heraldic
device in blue and gold.
Sheldon & Co. have issued Lillie Devereux
Blake's “novel with a purpose,” Fettered for
Life; or, Lord and Master. As is indicated by
the title, the story is an attempt to picture the
social and legal disadvantages to which, accord-
ing to the views of the author, women are sub-
jected. Even those who do not endorse this
view, must agree that the story is well written
and possesses considerable dramatic interest.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have published
Dr. Theodore Christlieb's Modern Doubt and
Christian Belief; What is Darwinism 2 by Charles
Hodge, D.D. ; and The Superhuman Origin of the
Bible, by Henry Rogers ; all of which have
been previously noticed ; and the fourth volume
of Dr. Ernst Curtius' History of Greece. This
work is translated by Prof. William Ward. It
is very elaborate, and the publishers have done
full justice, in printing and binding, to its im-
portance. -
D. Wan Nostrand has issued two little books
which deserve attention. The first is Mille An-
alysis, a practical treatise on the examination
of milk and its derivatives, by J. A. Wanklyn ;
and the other, a treatise on Fuel, by C. W. Sie-
mens, to which is appended a paper by F.
Wormald, on “The Value of Artificial Fuels as
compared with Coal.” -
John Wiley & Son have published, under the
title Ariadne Florentima, three of Ruskin's lec-
tures on wood and metal engraving, delivered
in his fourth year as Art Professor of Oxford.
The subjects of the lectures are. “Definition of .
the Art of Engraving,” “The Relation of En-
graving to other Arts in Florence,” and “Th
Technics of Wood Engraving.” -
BosTon, May 1st, 1874.
... The book business of the month in this city
has been light. Some of our houses by con-
stantly issuing new books have managed to
keep up a creditable appearance of activity, but
even the busiest are forced to admit that the
trade is dull, and that publishing does not
yield the returns that the heavy outlays demand
in order to make it profitable. Our juvenile
book publishers, who have, perhaps, suffered
more than any other class of the trade by the
undercutting competition which prevails. have
entered into an agreement to go into effect at
this date, and which has also been signed by a
majority of the publishers of juvenile books in
New York and Philadelphia, not to sell to the
trade at greater than a fixed discount, except on
special bills of $500 and upwards, and not to
use undue influences to affect sales, such as gifts,
expressage, allowing discounts to be charged
back, etc. This is a movement in the right
direction, and should be followed by all pub-
lishers of miscellaneous books.
Colby & Rich have published Agassiz and Spirit-
walism, involving the investigation of Spiritual-
ism, by the Professors of Harvard, in 1857. It
is written by Allen Putnam, and gives the views
of Agassiz and others of the committee ap-
pointed to make the investigation, and whose
report has never been made public. These
publishers have also issued a new edition of
The Clergy, A Source of Danger to the American
Republic, and have in press a volume by J. O.
Barrett, entitled Immortels of Love. Divine love
is the author's theme, and the book somewhat
resembles his previous work, Looking Beyond.
Estes & Lauriat have issued in their cheap
but valuable series of “Half Hour IRecrea-
tions,” Insects Garden, by A. S. Packard, Jr..
and a learned treatise on Coal as a Reservoir of
Power, by Robert Hunt, F. R. S.; Elena, an en-
tertaining and fresh story of Italian life, drama-
tic, but not open to the objection of being too
sensational, by L. N. Comyn ; a little volume
on the Vienna Hæposition, by Charles F. Adams ;
and Field Ornithology, by Dr. Elliott Coues, the
author of the large work on his favorite science.
He is an able as well as a zealous ornithologist,
and has given in this volume in plain simple
language, all the directions which are necessary
for the collection of specimens, the selection
of guns and dogs, the shooting, preserving,
stuffing and mounting, and much of the detail
attending the various processes. He has added
also a valuable check list of North American
birds. The publishers have given the book a
very pretty binding. Having published Camp-
bell's Lives of the Chief-Justices of England, they
will issue his Lord Chancellors, which has never
been printed in this country. The work will
comprise ten volumes, including the lives of
Lyndhurst and Brougham, which will bring it
down to the reign of Victoria. Each volume
will contain from fifteen to twenty portraits,
and other illustrations. The first will be ready
this month. This house will soon add to their
octavo edition of the Chief-Justices, a Memoir of
Thomas, first Lord Denman, formerly Lord Chief-
Justice of England, in two volumes, by Sir Joseph .
Arnould, late Judge of the High Court at Bom-
bay, and have nearly ready Religion and the State,
by Alvah Hovey, D. D. which treats of “The
Bible in the Schools,” “Ought Church Property
to be Taxed,” and other questions of the day
which are engaging attention.
Henry Hoyt's most recent publications are
Antoine, the Italian Boy; The King’s Servants;
John Dane; Cily Sparrows; and Ned's Search.
Antoine is written by a well known clergyman,
who is also an ex-consul. It is the story of a
boy who was stolen from his home in Italy and
brought to this country, and is a picture of the
abuses which have lately been brought to light,
156
THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
and which both the Italian and our own govern-
ments are endeavoring to correct. It is not only
founded upon fact, but much of it is fact, the
names of the characters being only slightly
changed. The King's Servants, by Hester Stret-
ton, is an excellent story for children, illustrat-
ing the fruits of faithfulness to duty and the
penalties of unfaithfulness. City Sparrows is an
endeavor to awaken sympathy for the poor in
our cities, and is full of excellent lessons for the
young. John Dane is the story of an ambitious
artist, Who goes out into the world to find fame
and fortune, is disappointed, meets with re-
verses, resorts to the bottle, becomes a wreck,
and is saved by his grown-up daughter, who
Crosses the ocean to find him. These books are
all finely illustrated and handsomely bound,
and are safe books for children.
Little, Brown & Co. have published Famous
Trials, by John T. Morse, Jr. "It includes a very
full account of the Tichborne trial, which oc-
cupies 234 pages, or about two-thirds of the
volume, the trials of Troppmann, Prince Bona-
parte and Mrs. Fair, and an account of the
Meteor case, which, though less popular in its
character, as the author says, involved questions
of importance, and is well worth preserving.
The volume contains portraits of Chief-Justice
Cockburn, Justices Mellow and Lush, Henry
Hawkins, counsel for the Crown, Dr. Kenealy,
the defendant's counsel, of Lady Tichborne, and
of the claimant.
D. Lothrop & Co. have published The Tropics,
a book that is well calculated to interest the
young, telling, in a pleasant, colloquial man-
ner, stories of the tropical regions, and contain-
ing illustrations of strange animals and scenery;
and Peter, the Ship Boy, a clever tale of the ad-
ventures of a boy at sea, written by H. G. Kings-
ton. D. Lothrop & Co. announce as in press,
to be published immediately, a Life of Charles
Summer, by J. & J. D. Chaplin, with an intro-
duction by Hon. William Claflin. It will be a
12mo volume of over four hundred pages, and
will contain fac-simile letters, a heliotype por-
trait, and other illustrations. Mr. Summer, for
a number of years, while in Boston, made his
home with Mr. Claflin, who has furnished
most of the material for the work. Mrs. Chap-
lin, one of the joint authors, is a writer of con-
siderable ability, well known to the readers of
the Watchman and Reflector, to which she has
contributed stories.
Roberts Brothers have issued a new and
cheaper edition of that charming, yet sorrowful
love story Mireio, and a new edition of William
R. Alger's Poetry of the Orient, to which thirty
or forty pages of new matter have been added;
Sarah Tytler's two books The Old Masters and
their Pictures, and Modern Painters and their
J’aintings, both valuable books for the studio
and the school-room, and pleasant and profita-
ble reading for the drawing-room ; and Mary
Cowden Clarke's The Trust and The Remittance,
“two love stories in metred prose. They have
in press, Antony Brade, a story of boy school-
day life by Robert T. S. Lowell, a brother of
Prof. Lowell, and an old and successful teacher
of boys; and Christine, a love story of Sweden.
Noyes, Holmes & Co. have in preparation a
work by Rev. W. M. Fernald, entitled Christian
Life and How to Obtain it. Readers of Scientific
books twenty years ago, will remember a re-
markable little work published at that time
under the title The Stars and The Earth. It was
issued in England and reprinted here, with an
introduction by Rev. Dr. Thomas Hill, formerly
of Harvard University, and although it created
quite a sensation at the time, the author has
never been discovered. Noyes, Holmes & Co.
are soon to bring out a new edition of it, and
Dr. Hill again writes the introduction.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. have published
Nugge Inutiles, or Mother Goose in Latin, which
will puzzle even the good Latin scholars who
have only read in the schools. The volume also
contains several translated poems from the
Latin and German. This new firm have in pre-
paration for the Summer and Fall, new books
from Edward Eggleston, Jules Werne, Wilkie
Collins, Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Stephens,the author
of the delightful “Camping Out Series.”
J. R. Osgood & Co. have published Working-
men's Homes, by E. E. Hale ; and Good Luck, a
novel translated from the German of Ernst
Werner, by Francis A. Shaw. The former book
consists of a portion of the matter which ap—
peared in Sybaris and Other Homes, which was
issued about five years ago, with about a hun-
dred pages of new matter devoted to the plans
of co-operative societies of furnishing homes for
working men. It contains many valuable Sug-
gestions and should be widely read both by
capitalists who are seeking safe investments,
and by those who wish to furnish themselves
with cheap homes. Not the least interesting
portion of the volume, is a letter from Josiah
Quincy, telling the results of his experiments in
building homes for working men in Dedham,
Mass. Good Luck is an exceptionally good story
of life among the miners of Germany. Osgood
& Co. have nearly ready Baddeck, and that Sort
of Thing, consisting of the papers of travel, by
Charles Dudley Warner, which have appeared
in the Atlantic ; Life whder Glass, elucidating a
curious plan för a grand glass hotel for invalids,
which shall protect them from our rigorous
climate ; and The Middle States, a hand-book
for travellers, uniform with, and on the same
plan as the New England, issued a year ago. It
contains maps and plans and a great amount of
information about the chief cities and popular
resorts of the Middle States—New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Lee & Shepard have published the late Mr.
Sumner's Prophetic Voices Concerning America,
which has a special interest from the fact that
it was the last literary work of the distinguished
Senator, but whose own intrinsic value is suffi-.
cient to command universal attention ; Beaten
Paths, or a Woman's Vacation, a lively, gos-
sipy book of travel in Europe, by Mrs. Ella W.
Thompson, resembling in character and style
The American Girl Abroad; The Secret of Chris-
tianily, by Rev. S. S. Hibbard, a very scholarly
work, written with a view of showing the great
influence of Christianity upon civilization ; and
Brief Essays and Brevities, by George H. Col-
vert, the author of Goethe's Life and Works,
with which this latest volume is uniform. Mr.

Colvert is one of the most charming essayists
living, and his papers are as full of interest,
even to the average reader, as the most ap-
proved novel. The essays in this volume are
twenty-five in number and on a great variety of
subjects, including Work, Art, Travel, Lady-
hood, Materialism, Books for Boys, etc. There
are six on Shakespeare and his works. How Mar-
jory Helped, recently issued by this house, is a
juvenile book, healthy in tone, and full of in-
terest. The story secured the prize of $250,
offered by a commission of ladies in Boston for
the best Sabbath-school book. Lee & Shepard
have in press a new book by Jennie June on
wedded life, entitled For Better or Worse; and
a new American novel by Francis H. Under-
wood, of Boston, with the title Lord of Himself.
It is a tale of Kentucky twenty years ago.
- PHILADELPHIA, May 1st, 1874.
The book world—at least, the portion of it
which is located in this city—is almost at a
stand-still, and there is very little literary news
to chronicle. Some of our publishers assert
that the business is duller than it has been before
in ten years, while others claim to be doing a
very fair business for the season. The latter,
however, are those who have a long list of stan-
dard books. New books certainly sell very
slowly. Very few books have been issued during
the month, and not many will be issued until
the fall.
Porter & Coates' series of novels, hitherto
known as “The Library of Approved Authors,”
will in future be called “The International
Series of Novels,” and will embrace the works
of some of the most popular living authors of
America, England, France, Germany, Sweden,
etc. Gerda is the next volume in the series. It
is a novel of special interest, written in Madame
Schwartz's most captivating style, and promises
to be even more popular than her other works.
Many incidents experienced by the author dur-
ing youth, before she began her literary career,
are introduced in its pages. It will be followed
by No Alternative, by Annie Thomas ; The Vicis-
situdes of Bessie Fairfax, by Holm Lee, a novel
which has been very highly commended by the
London reviewers; and Valentime the Countess,
translated from the German of Carl Detlef, by
the successful translator of the former novels of
this author. The Sportsman's Club Afloat, by
Harry Castlemon, is now ready, and is in great
demand with the boy-admirers of this popu-
lar writer, who pronounce it a “jolly book.”
The revised edition of Coates' Comprehensive
Speaker is also just ready, and its adoption as a
text-book by the public school boards has crea-
ted a considerable demand for it.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have published Eugene
Aram and Zanoni in their neatly bound and
clearly printed edition of Bulwer's works; Au-
tumn, Musings and olher Poems, by E. Hazard; a
volume of verse which will commend itself to
all lovers of nature who prefer sense to sound,
and hearty, wholesome, old-fashioned poetry
to either sensational or sentimental nonsense;
Alide, the romance of Goethe's life, which was
mentioned in my last ; As It Show.ld Be, the
Woman question defined, and an effort to settle
it once for all, by “Alex,” the author of How She
Would Have It ; The Heir of Malreward, a really
good English novel, resembling The Heir of Red-
cliffe; Martin Chuzzlewit, in two volumes, in their
illustrated edition of Dickens; Plato; volume
first of Prescott's Peru; Philosophers and Fools,
a study, by Julia Duhring, a Virginian lady ; .
and a volume on the Ligation of the Arteries,
from the French of Dr. L. H. Farabeuf, trans-
lated by Dr. John D. Jackson of Kentucky.
This volume of Prescott's Peru is the third
work of the new edition of that author's works,
which is being edited with Mr. Prescott's latest
corrections and editions by his co-laborer and
companion, J. Foster Kirk. The new edition of
Lieber's Civil Liberty is printed from new plates,
with changes from notes, which the author left.
Plato is the nineteenth volume of Lippincott's
“Ancient Classics for English Readers.” It is
by Clifton W. Collins, A. M., and tells us all
about the life and followers of Plato, which the
ordinary reader will desire to know, without
putting him to the trouble of mastering a dead
language to acquire it. - .
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have issued in
English and German a Hand Book of the Loco-
motive, by Stephen Roper, the author of the
Catechism on Steam Engines; a poem entitled
Ralph Elmwood, by John H. Vosburg; and A
History of the Origin of the Appellation Keystone
State. Mr. Roper is a practical engineer, and
his book is eminently a practical one. It treats
of all the details connected with the construc-
tion, running, and management of locomotive
engines and boilers in a manner which shows
that the author not only understands these sub-
jects, but that he fully comprehends the wants
of those for whom he writes. The book is an
18mo illustrated, and neatly bound in morocco
tucks, with a pocket, making a handy pocket
volume. The writer of the History of the Origin
of the Appellation of the Keystone State, as applied
to Pennsylvania, sets out in his preface with
this statement: “Pennsylvania is called the
Keystone State, the thirteenth stone, the block
of the arch, from the fact that, by the casting
vote of John Morton, she secured the unani-
mous adoption of the Declaration of Independ-
ence in the Continental Congress, on the 4th of
July, 1776, being the last or thirteenth State to
vote for that instrument.” To establish this
fact and disprove other theories which are
given, he has compiled a mass of evidence from
old documents, and succeeded in making a work
of historical interest. This house will issue at
an early day a second edition of Flander's
Treatise on the Law of Fire Insurance, which has

LoNDoN, April 13th, 1874.
An International Copyright Act is now the
subject of discussion amongst publishers, and
there is not the slightest doubt that by such an
Act, America would be very much the gainer,
for the American authors, now over-ridden by
English reprints, would soon create a literature
of their own. Messrs. Ward, Lock & Tyler
have just re-published a novel by Dr. J. G. Hol-
land, “Arthur Bonnicastle,” but to avoid
trenching on literary property, they have had
the concluding chapter finished by another
hand. A preface has been written by Mr. S.
O. Beeton, and issued as a pamphlet, telling why
this was done, and apologizing to Dr. Holland
for making his book the subject of an experi-
ment. -
Mrs. Oliphant's new book is in the press and
will be issued by Messrs. Hurst & Blackett. It
is to be called “For Love and Life.” Mr.
Swinburne is said to be engaged upon a new
poem called “The Romance of Yseult.” Mrs.
Sewell, Author of “Mothers’ Last Words,” and
several other well known works, will soon con-
clude a new work upon the dangers to which
seamen are exposed, which is to be entitled
“Davie Blake the Sailor.” A néw volume of
poems by George Eliot is about to be issued by
Messrs. Blackwood. After having been a long
time out of print, a new edition is about to be
published of Mr. Kinglake’s “Invasion of the
Crimea.” Auerbach's long announced novel
“Waldfried ” is soon to be published by Messrs.
Sampson Low & Co. It has just been issued
from the Cotta press, in Germany, and is to be
also published in Dutch, Russian and Italian,
but not in French, which is a pity, as the French
never read German, and Auerbach has always
a good word for them, which is not always the
case with German writers. The novel sketches
the history of Germany from the eve of the
Napoleonic wars to the present time. It is told
by Heinrich Waldfried in the form of an auto-
biography. “The Hero of Elston’’ is the title of
a modest little work about Bunyan, by Rev. Jas.
Coplier, M. A., Vicar of the parish where Bun-
yan was born. The story of Bunyan’s life is
vivaciously and pathetically told, and no one
will be the worse for reading it. A new edition
is announced of “The Mothers of Great Men,”
by Mrs. Ellis, author of “The Women of Eng-
land.” “Judith Gwynne” is the name of a three-
volume novel by Lisle Carr, which contains so
many startling situations, that it is quite melo-
dramatic. The heroine's escape from a burning
house is miraculous, but how she managed to
Survive in a room of which the door-handle was
red hot, is beyond an ordinary understanding,
but perhaps it requires an extraordinary under-
standing to fully comprehend it. Now that the
subject of cremation is exciting so much interest,
the pamphlet of that eminent Surgeon, Sir
Henry Thompson, is meeting with 'a large sale.
It is called “Cremation, or the Treatment of the
Body after Death.” A novel by the late Presi-
dent of Spain, Senor Castelar, is announced at
Madrid, and is to be called “The Story of a
Heart.” The jeu d'esprit entitled “The Story
of the Fall of Prince Florestan of Monaco" is
exciting considerable attention, probably because
the author's name is kept so secret. W. T.

Jansen, McClurg & Co., of Chicago, have ||
published a volume of sermons by Rev. David
Swing, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church of that city. They are all characterized
by close, logical reasoning, and much originality
of thought. They are not only eloquent, but
practical, and applied to every-day life and the
common weaknesses of humanity. The paper

attractive and elegant.
Articles of agreement have been concluded

A. S. Barnes & Co. have adopted a novel im-
provement in their school-books, in attaching
silicate slates to the inside of the covers. The
slates are white or black, for the lead or slate-
pencil, as ordered, and will be of great con-
venience to teachers and students, and also to
general readers, for memoranda, reference-notes,
etc. The adjacent fly-leaves are of water-proof
paper, so that the Slates can be cleaned without
injury to the books. As the attachment adds
but a trifle to the cost of the book, it will prob-
ably be extensively used.
Messrs. James R. Osgood & Co. have made

Robert Clarke & Co. have published a new
edition (the second) of Seney's Civil, Code of
Ohio, with notes of the decisions of the courts of

The Insurance Year Boolc for 1874, published
by Hayden, Miller & Maltbie, Hartford, is a

Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati, have pub-
lished a handsome edition of that quaint old
book, The Doctor and Student; or, Dialogues be-
tween a Doctor of Divinity and a Student in the
Laws of England. The work held its place for
many years as among the most popular of its
kind, but it has long been out of print, and

sued a revised edition of the treatise on the
Devotion to the Sacred Heart, by Rev. S. Franco,
S.J. It was much admired by Catholic readers
in this country when it first appeared in the
Monthly Messenger of the Sacred Heart, and the
first edition in book form was soon exhausted.
. It has now been carefully revised, and published
in handsome style. Murphy & Co. have also
published, on tinted paper and in attractive

the Sacred Heurt of Jesus, which treats of Meek-
ness, Patience, Charity, and other attributes of
the Saviour, as exhibited by his words and

everything that can interest or be useful to the
traveller across the Continent. There are also
some, practical suggestions to the traveller, a
number of excellent, large maps and blank
pages for memoranda. It is bound in strong
flexible cloth, and may be folded and carried in

THE AGAssiz MEMORIAL FUND.
We cheerfully accede to a request to call
the attention of our readers to an enterprise
which has recently been started in Boston to
raise an endowment for the Museum of Com-
parative Zoology, founded at Cambridge, by
the late Professor Agassiz. Circulars have
been distributed calling upon teachers and
pupils throughout the country to celebrate
the next anniversary of the great scientist's
birthday, which occurs on the 28th inst., by
contributing to a “Teachers and Pupils'
Memorial Fund;” and certainly, for such a
purpose, and in honor of the able teacher and
enthusiastic student, the appeal will not go
unheeded. No fitter tribute of respect to his
memory can be offered than to assist, in how-
ever small a degree, to carry forward the
work which he held nearest his heart, and
for which he labored so hard. He devoted
to it some of the best years of his life, and
resisted repeated offers of honorable positions
in other countries, that he might continue
the work so ardently begun. In his will,
written but a few years before his death, he
bequeathed such of his books as he might se–
lect to his son, and the rest to the Museum.
As he “had no time to make money,” this
was all, at the close of his labors, which he
had to give. Had he lived, he would have
made it one of the most valuable Museums of
Natural History in the world. It is already,
in the number and value of its collections,
the finest in America, and it is very proper
that every American should be given the op-
portunity to contribute his mite to assist in
its maintenance and enlargement. Contri-
butions may be sent to James M. Barnard,
Treasurer of the Memorial Fund, Room 4,
No. 13 Exchange street, Boston.

WILHELMI VON EAULBACH.
This celebrated painter died at Munich, on
the 7th of April. He was regarded in Germany
as the foremost in his profession, and his works
have made him famous among modern painters.
He was born in the Principality of Waldeck, in
1805. His father was an engraver and portrait
painter of some celebrity, and gave his son in-
struction in the rudiments of drawing ; but it
was not until his eighteenth year that he took
any great interest in the art. About that time
he commenced his studies at Dusseldorf, under
Cornelius, and within a few years produced
“Apollo Among the Muses” and “The Mad-
house.” . Among his other great pictures are,
“The Battle of the Huns,” “The Capture of
Jerusalem,” “The Tower of Babel,” and “The
Era of the Reformation,” which was exhibited
at the Paris Exposition, and afterward pur-
chased and brought to this country, and ex—
—-º
hibited in the Somerville Art Gallery, in 1869.
Raulbach also executed a large number of book.
portraits and book illustrations. But few of
his paintings have been brought to this coun-
try; but they have nearly all been engraved,
and the copies are celebrated as works of art.
JoBN PHILLIPS.
A cable dispatch from London, on the 24th
of April, announced the death of John Phillips,
LL.D. He was the author of several im-
portant works on geology, and, as the Secre-
tary of the British Association, arranged and
edited twenty-seven volumes of the reports of
the transactions of that body. He has com-
tributed a large number of books and papers to
geological literature, many of them being the
records of original researches. In 1858, he was
elected President of the Geological Society, and
in 1864 was made President of the British ASSO-
ciation. He was at different times Professor of
Geology at King's College, London ; Trinity
College, Dublin, and at the University of Ox-
ford. He also devoted much time and study to
meteorology, was the author of Three Years'
Observation on Rain, and the inventor of several
valuable appliances for conducting me-
teorological investigations. At the time of his
death he was in his seventy-fourth year.

ties to his pupils. The Parents' Manual treats
upon parents' duties in the relations they sus-
tain to their children, in the family, in the
school and in society, during the period of their
minority. It covers a ground hitherto almost
unoccupied, and, from the author's reputation
as a teacher and writer on similar subjects, must
be a work of great value to all parents interested
in the proper moral training of their children.

Curwen's History of Booksellers, recently pub-

although ancient Egypt and Greece had their
libraries, and Rome had her professional book-
makers and a popular newspaper, Atticus was
the first who conceived the idea of making
books on a large scale, and carried it out by em-
ploying a large number of slaves to copy simui-
taneously from dictation the favorite authors.
He soon found imitators, and publishing became
a regular business. The first copyright sale
effected by an author to a publisher is shown in

1667, and disposes of the copyright of “Para-
dise Lost" for the sum of £5, and £5 more
when the first edition of 1,300 copies should be
sold in retail, and the like sum at the end of the
second and third editions.

bill providing for the free exchange of news-
papers between publishers, and for their free
distribution to subscribers in the county where
published,
THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
163
Over a quarter of a million of the Tichborne
number of the Lond ºn Graphic have been sold.
Scribner's for June will contain a new story by
“Saxe Holm,” entitled “The Four-Leaved
Clover.”
American Homes for July will contain an article
on mining, by Mr. Charles Barnard, who has
been sent by the publishers to the Pennsylvania
coal mines for the material.
The Morning Slar, Van Wert, Ohio, “ edited
by spirits, through the instrumentality of Mrs.
Alolphus Kline, " is changed from a monthly
to a weekly.
The Illustrated People's Monthly is now issued'
in a meat blue cover, which not only gives four
additional pages for advertisements, but adds
mnch to the appearance of the paper.
We have received the first number of The
Freethinker, the “organ of the Freethinker As–
sociation.” It is in the form of an uncut pam-
phlet of sixteen octavo pages, and contains
articles on “ The Religion of Humanity,”
“‘Causality,” “Cremation,” and others. Price
2 cents.
The “Stationers' Department” of The Paper
Trade Journal is discontinued, and a separate
publication, The American Stationer, is issued
by Mr. Lockwood. It is printed on fine heavy
paper, and its sixteen pages of useful matter,
including reviews of home and foreign markets,
prices current, lists of novelties, new patents,
etc., will commend it to the trade. It is
issued semi-monthly at $2.00 per annum ; 10
cents per copy. -
Street & Smith, the enterprising proprietors
of the New York. Weekly, have commenced the
publication of a large eight-page monthly, called
The Mammoth Monthly Reader. Its contents are
made up of stories, sketches, poetry, record of
events, etc. Retail price, 8 cents per copy. The
same publishers will, at an early day, issue
the first number of a new weekly paper for
children, entitled the Boys' and Girls' Weekly
Library, which will retail for 5 cents.
The Trade Bureau is the name of a new eight-
page weekly journal, published in the interest
of the furniture trade, by George Whittemore
& Co., 58 John street, New York. The first
numbers are neatly printed, and contain full
market reports from our principal trade centres,
and much other matter of interest to the trade.
Price $2.50 per annum.
The Post Office Committee of the House of
Representatives has under consideration a bill
providing for the prepayment of postage on
magazines and newspapers, quarterly, at the
office from which they are sent. Such a law
would undoubtedly save much money to the
Government, and much inconvenience both to
publishers and subscribers.
The April number of the able quarterly The
American Law Review is an especially good One.
Besides the valuable digests of English and
State Law Reports, and learned book reviews,
it contains elaborate articles on “The Trial of
the Tichborne Claimant,” “The Virginius
Case,” and “The Delivery of Telegraphic Mes-
sages.”
MUsic NotEs.
Hibbarl & Munro, New York, publish
Mowatt's Temperance Glee Book, a collection of
temperance songs, adapted to popular airs,
compiled and edited by James Alexander
Mowatt. -
Mr. Henry R. Waite, who published in 1868,
through Ditson & Co., a collection of college
songs under the title of Carmina Collegensia, is
now re-editing the work, and desires to add to
it all new college songs.
Among the new issues of Lee & Walker,
Philadelphia, is a beautiful four part Decoration .
Hymn, Cover them over with Beautiful Flowers,
by E. F. Stewart. The music is simple but
effective, and the words very appropriate. The
publishers haye also sent us the Fiorence Galop,
by C. J. Miers.
St. Peter, the new Oratorio by Mr. John K.
Paine, Professor of Music at Harvard Uni-
versity, is a work of one hundred and seventy-
four pages, and contains sixteen recitatives,
twelve choruses (one being for female voices
alone), two airs for soprano, two for contralto,
two for tenor, and three for bass, and one duett
for soprano and tenor voices There are also
three Chorals selected from the Old Masters, re-
arranged by Mr. Paine, and two orchestral
pieces, an Introduction and a “Lament.” It
is published by Ditson & Co.
Oliver Ditson & Co., on account of the recent
fire at their store, have published a much
smaller list than usual, but it includes some
excellent pieces. Changed is a beautiful song
by F. Boott, adapted to words from Long-
fellow’s “Aftermath.” The Night has a Thou-
sand Eyes, by the same composer, with words
by F. W. Bourdillon, is also worthy of
special mention ; the melody is attractive and
the accompaniment simple, but effective. In
Shadow Land, a song in E minor by Ceiro
Pinsuti, is a beautiful example of the adaptation
of Italian music to English poetry, in which
the composer excels.
White, Smith & Co. have issued the first of a
new musical quarterly, entitled The Organists'
Quarterly Journal and Review. The objects of
the journal are stated to be —“First, that or—
ganists may have a paper which shall be de-
voted to them and their interests ; Second, to
assist in supplying a long felt wart of Organ
music suitable for church service ; Third, to
present from time to time short essays and
articles concerning organs, organists, and or-
gan-playing. He also hopes to give a concise
and reliable history of the organ ; full descrip-
tions of all great and celebrated organs ; Biog-
raphies of noted Composers and Players; an-
alysis of great compositions for the organ, and
general discussions of all matters pertaining to
the organ and organ-playing. ... The music will
be from the best representative organists of
both continents, and not too difficult for players
of ordinary ability ; and will appear in prin-
for the first time in this journal. Should there
be occasional reprints, they will be of the
choicest character, and such as have not before
been printed in this country.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSE L LERS’ GUIDE. 177
THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY'S
I, T S T C F
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of The American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no d.s.
appointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reference;
therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making remittances,
always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by mail is at risk
of parties sending. 4th. –The Wholesale Prices are net. ...We do not make any additional charges for packing or carting
in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.--Small orders receive the
same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.— We do not send New Papers and Magazines on sale to those
who specially order us not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, whless they order ws not to do so. We
believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as published to booksellers, unless specially
ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to customers free upon application. 9th. –Let-
ters, with full signature and address, should be enclosed with all remittances. 10th.-We enclose bill daily to costumers
having parcels by Express, to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-Newsdealers pay the Postage on their Packages of
Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rates of postage as if paid quarterly in advance.
| POSTAGE TO NEWS FDI EA LIERS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. PAPER COWERED NOVELS, same rates as Magazines.
MAGAZINES, Two Cents for every Four Ounces. BOUND BOOKS, Two Cents for every Two Ounces.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited with
what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly subscrip-
tions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in advance. Upon
finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (enclosing the wholesale price per this list, to
cover one week’s papers) similar to this form: s

scRIBNER's MONTHLY.

THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN BEGUN.
“ANOTHER GREAT LITERARY SENSATION.”
“THE MODERN ROBINSON CRUS OE,”
JULES WERNE'S NEW STORY,
“THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.”
150 Magnificent Illustrations.
We have secured for serial publication in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, M. JULES
WERNE’s New Serial, entitled, -
“THE MIYSTERIOUS ISLAND.”
It is begun in the APRIL number—now ready.
M. JULES WERNE unites with a wide range of scientific knowledge, an exuber-
ance of inventive imagination that has fascinated the world. His works are as
unique in structure as they are unexampled in popularity.
Not content with “Robinson Crusoe,” and “The Swiss Family Robinson,” he
has undertaken, in “THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND,” to show how a body of
men, thrown helpless upon a desert, may develop a living from purely scientifie
resources, without any convenient wreck to draw upon for the materials of life and
comfort. The idea is as attractive as it is ingenious, and affords the author the
finest opportuuity for the display of his peculiar gifts and acquirements. The story
will be profusely illustrated in the style of his other stories:—“From the Earth
to the IMoon,” “Round the World in Eighty Days,” “Twenty Thou-
sand Leagues Under the Sea,” etc., etc.
The story will have an additional interest for American readers, because the
party are all Americans. They start from Richmond, Va., in a balloon, and are
wrecked on an unknown island in mid-ocean.

THE Book MARKET.
NEw YorF, April 1st, 1874.
The dilatoriness of Congress in settling the
pending financial questions has had its effect
on the book trade as well as upon other busi-
ness interests of the country, and March has
been an exceptionally dull month. Usually
more active in miscellaneous books than the
two preceding, this year the business of either
of those months will make a better showing
than that of March. Our school-book houses,
however, have done a very good business.
These books being among the necessities, a
falling off in the aggregate business of any
portion of the year is almost certain to be com-
pensated for by an extra activity in the follow-
ing months, and school-book publishers are
now filling the orders they would have received
last fall but for the panic.
Notwithstanding the light demand for books,
and the number of new volumes which are
being held back, the issues have been above the
average both in number and in quality, includ-
ing some excellent new works of fiction and a
respectable number of heavier books, which, as
the new newspapers in the West are fond of Say-
ing of themselves, have “come to stay.”
G. P. Putnam's Sons have issued The Edw-
cation of American Girls, which is receiving
much attention. Although projected before Dr.
Clarke's essay on Sea: in Education was pub-
lished, or even written, the appearance of the
latter work has evidently given it shape, as well
as added much to its interest and importance.
Dr. Clarke certainly “builded better than he
knew" when he penned his book, and the
talented women who are interested in the edu-
cation of girls have not been slow to improve
the opportunity afforded by the interest his
book quickened, to present their side of the
question. This volume, then, may be con-
sidered as a reply to Dr. Clarke, as well as Mrs.
Duffey's and Mrs. Howe's books, and it is one
of the most interesting of the four. It is a
handsome volume of four hundred pages, and
consists of a number of essays by Edna D.
Cheney, Caroline H. Dall, Lucinda H. Stone,
Mary Putnam Jacobi, M. D., and half a dozen
other Well known writers on the woman question,
These papers have nearly all been printed be-
fore in various publications, but are none the
less readable now that they are presented to-
gether. They are on such subjects as “Mental
Action and Physical Health,” “Effects of Men-
tal Growth,” “Girls and Women in England
and America,” etc. Papers on the female
colleges, Oberlin, Vassar, Antioch, and others,
are given, and the editor, Anna C. Brackett,
contributes a lengthy essay, and devotes
twenty-five pages to a review of Dr. Clarke's
“Sex in Education.”
The Putnams have also issued The Philosophy
of English Literature, by Professor John Bascom,
and a book on Hampton and its Students, by two
of its teachers, Mrs. M. F. Armstrong and Helen
W. Ludlow. Professor Bascom is well-known
as the author of “AEsthetics” and other works.
The present volume consists of a course of lec-
tures delivered in the Lowell Institute. The
object of the lectures, the author tells us in bis
preface, “is to put the general reader and the
student of English Literature into possession
of the leading influences operative in it, and
thus to enable him to peruse and to study its
productions with more insight,” etc., on the
principle, as he says elsewhere, that in each de-
partment of knowledge there are central facts
and germinant principles. If we master these,
the labors of acquisition are greatly lightened.
These facts the author has presented in so sim-
ple and systematical a manner, that we know of
no book of its compass so well adapted to the
Wants of the student as this. The volume on
Hampton and Its Students is a curiously interest-
ing book, possessing an historic value, in that
it is a very full account of a most successful ex-
periment in educating the freedmen. It contains,
besides a history of the school, sketches of
characters and experiences, and a glimpse of
the aspirations and capabilities of the colored
race, which are truly surprising. It gives also
an account of the “Hampton Singers,” with
fifty of their unique songs, music and words,
and sixteen illustrations.
Robert Carter & Brothers have published
Maggie's Mistake, a successful attempt to por-
tray a shool-girl's experience and views of life;
her likes and dislikes, follies and fancies, in her
OWn simple language; Rockbowrmé, a pleasant

THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
tale, by Marion Eliza Weir; a new book by
Joanna H. Mathews, the author of the popular
“Bessie Books,” entitled The New Scholars; and
JBetween the Cliffs, by Emma Marshall, whose
stories have recently received much attention,
with which is bound, in the same volume, the
story of Wandering May, by the author of The
Happy Land, etc. The last two volumes, besides
furnishing excellent and interesting reading for
the children, are worthy of special praise for
their illustrations. The Carters have also issued
Bickersteth's The Reef and other Parables, which
has been very favorably received in England.
They have in press, a book of travels by Henry
Day, a New York lawyer, entitled A Lawyer
Abroad; What to See and How to See. . It is quite
different from the many other books of this
class, containing much less of tiresome descrip-
tion, and devotes more space to the social and
political condition of the peoples of Europe.
E. P. Dutton & Co. have published The Silence
and Voices of God, a volume of eloquent ser-
mons, by Frederick W. Farrar, D. D. The ser-
mons, which give the name to the book, “Si-
lence and Voices,” “The Voice of Conscience,”
and “The Voice of History,” were delivered be-
fore the University of Cambridge. Several
others have been added, and they are all well
worth preserving in their permanent form.
Dutton & Co. have also issued a number of
books appropriate for the Lenten season,
Readings for Lent, and Readings for Confirmation,
both by Miss Sewell ; Nursings for Holy Week,
by Rev. Dr. Charles H. Hall; and a little vol-
ume entitled Some Week. Days in Lent, by Rev.
G. H. Wilkinson, consisting of a portion of his
sermons delivered in St. Paul’s Cathedral, Lon-
don. -
G. W. Carleton & Co. have published Our
Mutual Friend, in their excellent edition of Dick-
ens' works ; The Story of a Summer, by Miss
Cecilia Cleveland ; and Woman, Love, and Mar-
riage, by Mr. Saunders, the author of Salad for
the Solitary. Miss Cleveland is a niece of the
late Horace Greeley, and this book is an account
of her stay with his family at Chappaqua during
the summer after his death. It will, no doubt,
be attacked as being in bad taste, but it is, nev-
ertheless, a readable book. Although it tells us
little about Mr. Greeley that is not generally
known, and possesses but little permanent value
to any but the personal friends of her family,
its charming frankness in its descriptions of
persons and incidents makes it entertaining.
Woman, Love, and Marriage resembles very
much in style the author's previous work. It
‘consists mainly of anecdotes relating to the three
subjects of which he treats, and, though posses-
sing little of strength or originality of thought,
is very pleasant for desultory reading.
Sheldon & Co. have issued a cheap edition of
Heaven in Song, which, in its rich binding, was
so well received during the holidays. The ed-
itor, Rev. Dr. Henry C. Fish, has culled from
all sources the yearnings for the “better
land,” which have found expression in worthy
song, and the collection is not only valuable in
a religious sense, but also forits literary merits.
Those who prize the jewels more than the cas-
ket, which they were not able to purchase last
winter, will find the book now within their
means, and well worth the outlay. Ex-Secre-
tary Welles' book on Lincoln and Seward, issued
by Sheldon & Co., is interesting and valuable,
from the new facts brought to light, relating to
a most important period of our history, in the
making of which the writer took a distinguished
part. As a defence of Mr. Lincoln against what
are considered as the derogatory remarks of Mr.
Adams, in the Seward Memorial Address, it is
vigorous and strong. It was prompted, the
author says, by no unkind feeling towards Mr.
Seward, “but simply to give a true history of
the acts and views of Mr. Lincoln and Mr.
Seward, and the measures of administration
during Mr. Lincoln's Presidency.” Mr. Welles
gives a minute account of what took place in the
cabinet meetings during the darkest hours of
the Rebellion, and believes that Mr. Lincoln
was “the great central figure and controlling
mind in his own administration, and that
neither Mr. Seward, Mr. Chase, nor any other
of his able counsellors, was the ‘power behind
the throne.’” As a contribution to history, it
will live long after the controversy which called
it forth ceases to occupy the minds of men.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. make the impor-
tant announcement that Mr. William Cullen
Bryant, assisted by Mr. Sydney Howard Gay,
has in preparation a Popular History of the
United States. “The work is to begin with the
earliest authentic history of the Western Con-
tinent—though not ignoring the earlier mythical
period—and to come down to the close of the
first century of American Independence. It will
require not less than three volumes, and is to be
profusely and largely illustrated from Original
designs.” The Scribners also announce for
early publication, What is Darwinism 2 by
Charles Hodge, D.D., LL.D., of Princeton Col-
lege. There is a great difference of opinion,
even among scientists, as to what Darwin's
theory really is, and much has been written
which, though valuable to science, is evidently
based upon a misconception of Mr. Darwin's
works. No one is better qualified to define his
theory than the able scholar who has taken the
work in hand, and his book will be awaited
with interest. Among the other books an-
nounced by this house are The Superhuman
Origin of the Bible, inferred from Itself, by Henry
Rogers, an argument to prove, as the author
puts it, “that the Bible is not such a book as
man would have made it if he could, or could
have made it if he would’’; Dr. Christlieb's
Modern Doubt and Christian Belief, which the
publishers announce as translated under the
Supervision of the author, and published here
by Special arrangement with him ; the com-
pleting volume of the New Testament portion
of Lange's Commentary, which comprises “Rev-
elation ;” a new work on the Atonement, by
Rev. Dr. Horace Bushnell, under the title of
Forgiveness and Law; the fourth volume of
Curtius' History of Greece; and Personal Rem-
iniscences from Chorley, Planche and Young. This
is the initial volume of a unique series, which
they design to publish under the name of “The
Bric-a-Brac Series.” Although each volume
will be complete in itself, they will all be of the
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
I I I
Same general character, and will all be collec-
tions of the most valuable reminiscences of
noted writers and artists. The peculiar inter-
est which the public have in reminiscences, and
the talents of the editor, Mr. R. H. Stoddard,
are sufficient to secure success to the under-
taking. -
Among the books imported by Scribner, Wel-
ford and Armstrong, are : W. Carew Hazlitt's
collection of Poems, Letters and Remains of
Mary and Charles Lamb, with reminiscences and
notes; George W. Cox's new History of Greece,
two large volumes; the unabridged edition of
the summing up of the Lord Chief-Justice on
the Tichborne Trial, Celebrated Claimants, “being
the history oi impostors and pretenders, ancient
and modern,” and M. de Balzac's Droll Stories,
collected from the Abbeys of Touraine, with the 425
plates by Doré.
Macmillan & Co. have issued here a “school
edition” of Clodd's Childhood of the World;
Etruscan Researches, by Rev. Isaac Taylor; The
Logic of Hegel, by W. Wallace ; and First Les-
sons in the Principles of Cooking, by Lady Barker,
Superintendent of the “National School of
Cookery,” at South Kensington, England. It
is not so much a “Cook Book,” as we use the
term here, but rather a series of three sensible
scientific treatises on the subject of Cooking.
Part first treats of “First Lessons in Cooking,”
part second of “The best Methods of preparing
some sorts of Food for use, with a simple ex-
planation of their respective actions,” and part
third, of “The Principles of Diet, and a few
cheap and easy Recipes.” The book is one of
the series of handy 18mo volumes, which now
include a number of praiseworthy works. The
publishers are about to add to it a “Business
Manual,” and R. W. Church, Dean of St. Paul's,
is writing for the series a volume on Early
Sacred Poetry. Canon Kingsley's presence in
this country has made a demand for his books,
and Macmillan & Co. have issued a new and
cheap edition of his Westminster Sermons.
Henry Holt & Co. have published Desperate
Remedies, by Thomas Hardy, whose identity
has so puzzled the critics of late, the London
Spectator attributing his Far from the Madding
Crowd to George Eliot, and others accusing him
of being a woman. His publishers have found
it necessary to proclaim that he is a veritable
man, and writes under his own name. It is
sufficient to say of this last book that it fully
equals those previously issued. Holt & Co. have
also issued a handsome volume of Essays in
Modern Military Biography, by the English
military scholar, Col. Charles C. Chesney,
which deals chiefly with the heroes of our late
war, of which the author has much to say ; and
the Literary Remains of Emanuel Deutsch, who
was for many years engaged at the British
Museum, and was renowned for his Oriental
learning. At his death, in May, 1873, he left
behind him a large number of translations
from the Talmud, which he made the subject of
laborious study. The paper on the Talmud
which was published in the Quarlerly Review,
and which then attracted much attention and
brought the author into prominence, is repro.
duced in this volume, also the letters on the
CEcumenical Council, written to the London
Times. It contains also learned papers on
“Egypt,” “Islam,” “The Semitic Languages,”
and others. Holt & Co. are having condensed
some of the best old English books whose
prolixity has made them objectionable to the
general reader, and will publish them in such a
form that those to whom time is money can
afford to read them, retaining in them every-
thing which the general reader will be likely to
value. Among the books which are selected
for this process are Chorley's Autobiography :
Boswell's Johnson; and the old novel, Clarissa
Harlowe, which will be new to most of the
readers of to-day. This house has nearly ready
an important and timely volume by Prof. Wil:
liam G. Sumner, of Yale College, a History of
American Currency, to which is added a chapter
on the Bank of England, one on Austrian paper
money, and other matter. This will be the
first history of the panic of 1837 ever published.
The Orange Judd Co. have published Pretty
Mrs. Gaston, a lively love story, by John Esten
Cooke, author of Surry of Eagle's Nest, and
other well-known novels. Though not so elabor-
ate as his other books, it is very pleasant read-
ing, and the publishers have put it on fine paper,
and furnished it with a dozen good illustra-
tions. This house has also issued John Andross,
by Rebecca Harding Davis, also finely illus-
trated.
The National Temperance Society has pub-
lished a little story of the Temperance move-
ment in the West, entitled A Gentle Woman
Abroad, by Rev. E. P. Roe. The author's
books have made for him hosts of admirers,
and anything from his pen, however trifling, is
well received. The Temperance Society is
doing good work in furnishing the friends of
the cause effective literary weapons. The Na-
tional Temperance Orator, recently issued by
their publishing house, is an excellent collec-
tion of selections from such authors as Tyng,
Gough, Hepworth, Cuyler, and Alice Carey.
They are in poetry and prose, and are well
adapted for reading, recitation and declamation.
Thirty good dialogues are also added, making
a neat volume of nearly three hundred pages.
A. K. Butts & Co. have issued The Safest
Creed, by Rev. O. B. Frothingham, consisting
of the discourse from which the volume takes
its name, and twelve others on “The Gospel of
To-day,” “The Gospel of Character,” “The Sci-
entific Aspect of Prayer,” “The Naked Truth,”
“The Infernal and Celestial Love,” etc. They
are all in his well known vigorous style and
unique enough toſplease the most exacting of his
followers. We have from the same house Win-.
wood Reade's Martyrdom of Man; Epidemic De-
lusions, a lecture by Frederick R. Marvin, D.D.;
Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism
Exposed and Evplained, by Thomas Inman,
M. D., of London; and in two volumes the large
work, by the same author, entitled Ancient
Faiths Embodied in Ancient Names. This work,
as stated on the title-page, is “an attempt to
trace the religious belief, social rights, and holy
emblems of certain nations, by an interpretation
of the names given to children by priestly
authority, or assumed by prophets, kings, and

hierarchs.” Both of Dr. Inman's books are lib-
erally illustrated. Mr. Reade, the author of
The Martyrdom of Man, is well known by his
Writings on Africa, which have attained a wide
celebrity. This book is an attempt to show
the influence exerted by Mahometanism upon
Africa, and upon the world, through the slave
trade and other media. Although not orthodox
in religious matters, it contains much general
information, and is evidently the result of much
study and research as well as careful observation.
D. Appleton & Co. have issued No lntentions,
by Florence Marryat, which will take its place
among the many clever novels of English social
life, so well liked by novel readers in this coun-
try, and have added to their excellent series of
“Science Primers” a little treatise on Geology,
by Professor Archibald Geikie, of the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh, and Director of the Geologi-
cal Survey of Scotland. This little book, like
the others in the series, is well printed, taste-
fully bound and well illustrated.
E. J. Hale & Son have published Guy Man-
nering, in the “Thistle Edition” of Scott's now-
els; The Elements of Algebra, by Professor F. A.
Shoup, of the University of the South, at Su-
wanee, Tenn., in which the arrangement of the
subject is somewhat different from that of our
Ordinary school algebras; and Down the River;
or, Practical Lessons wnder the Code Duello, a
series of amusing satirical sketches on duelling.
The book is curious as well as funny, in its
pictures of Southern life, and is embellished
with twelve illustrations by H. L. Stephens.
To heighten the effect of the sketches, the dif-
ferent “Codes,” American, French, and Irish,
are appended in full.
H. L. Hinton has issued Social Science, by
Robert S. Hamilton. This is an historical and
Critical review of the progress in Social Philos-
ophy, giving the present status of the science,
as indicated by the writings of Mill, Spencer,
and others. -
Harper & Brothers have published a very at-
tractive book of travel and adventure in Farther
India, The Land of the White Eephant, by
Erank Vincent, Jr. Mr. Vincent had the tact
to confine himself to just what his readers are
glad to know, and he has a most happy faculty
of telling his story in an interesting manner.
The volume contains much information con-
cerning a land but little known, and is embel-
lished with map, plans, and woodcuts. The
Harpers have also issued a novel by the author
of Caste, entitled Colonel Dacre ; The Blue Ribbon,
a novel, by the author of Meta's Faith, which
has received Warm praise from the London re-
viewers; No Name, in their new edition of
Wilkie Collins' works; and Victor Hugo's
Ninety-Three, translated by the popular novelist
Frank Lee Benedict. The spring list of the
Harpers contains a number of good books still
unpublished, but to be issued probably during
this month. Among them are Dr. Schwein-
furth’s Heart of Africa, to be brought out in two
volumes, and māgnificently illustrated ; Baird's
Annual Record of Science and Industry for 1873;
The Evangelical Alliance, to contain the proceed-
ings of the Conference of 1873; and Motley's
Life and Death of John of Barnéveld.
Roston, April 1, 1874.
Notwithstanding the general deadness and dul-
mess of the commlercial world, our wholesale and
retail dealers in books did a tolerably good
business last month.
Roberts Brothers have published Ivan De
Biron ; or, the Russian Court in the Middle of
Last Century, a novel, by Sir Arthur Helps;
Sea, and Education, a Reply to Dr. E. H. Clarke's
Sea, in Elucation, edited, with an introduc-
tion, by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe ; and A Summer
Vacation, being four sermons describing a tour
in Europe, by Edward E. Hale. Ivan de Biron
is, on the whole, the ablest work that Sir Ar-
thur Helps has yet published. Its pictures of
Russian court life are fresh, graphic, and ºp-
parently truthful. Many of the scenes in Si-
beria are also most excellent. The Duke of
Courtland, the Empress Elizabeth, the Princess
Marie Andreevna Serbatoff, and one or two
other characters, are drawn with a bold, free
hand. The description of the Empress Eliza-
beth's attempt to promote the marriage of Ivan
de Biron and the beautiful Princess Marie An-
dréevna, is about as fine and dramatic as any-
thing in Scott's novels. All the love scenes are
well done. The Princess Marie is one of the
most charming heroines in the wide realm of fic-
tion. The work deserves and is likely to obtain
many readers. Sir Arthur Helps is wrong in
stating that there was a popular theory that
Addison re-introduced Shakespeare to the Eng-
lish reading world, for, as De Quincey some-
where says, Addison rarely quoted or made any
reference to Shakespeare. But by his criticisms
on Paradise Lost, in the Spectator, Addison did
make Milton's greatness as a poet known to
English readers,
The Reply to Dr. Clarke's Sea, in Education
contains thoughtful and suggestive papers con-
cerning female education by T. W. Higginson,
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Prof. Bascom, Mrs.
Dall, Mrs. Horace Mann, Abby W. May, Mrs. Ju-
lia Ward Howe, and other well-known writers
and educators. Dr. Clarke's little book is making
as great a commotion among the strong-minded
women of both sexes, as Reynard did among
Chaucer's poor widow’s barn-yard fowls. Rob-
erts Brothers have just ready for publication,
The Trust and The Remittance, two little love
stories in “metred prose,” by Mary Cowden
Clarke, author of A Concordance to Shakespeare;
a new and cheaper edition of Hammerton's
pleasant and interesting Chapters on Animals,
with twenty etchings of animals, by J. Vegras-
sat and Karl Bodmer, full of truth and beauty ;
The Correspondence of the Rev. Dr. William E.
Channing and Lucy Aiken, now first published ;
Scrope, or the Lost Library, a bright and original
work of fiction, by F. B. Perkins; and two ad-
mirable books for Schools and learners in arts
and also for the general reader, by Miss Sarah
Tytler—The Old Masters and their Pictures, and
Modern Painters and their Paintings. They
have also in press, for almost immediate publi-
cation, Sea and Shore, a poetical selection for
the summer idler; Some Women’s Hearts, a col-
lection of original love stories, by Louise Chan-
dler Moulton ; and Phantastnion, a beautiful
and poetical fairy tale, by Sarah Coleridge, the

gifted daughter of S. T. Coleridge. This house
has likewise in preparation a volume of poems
by Mr. F. W. Bourdillon, whose poetical con-
tributions to the London Spectator have been so
widely copied and so highly admired.
James R. Csgood & Co. have issued. Theodore
Parker, a biography, by Octavius Brooks Froth-
ingham; and Young Brown, a novel, by Gren-
ville Murray, author of The Member for Paris.
Mr. Frothingham is an artist in biography, and
few novels are half as readable as his Life of
Theodore Parker, which is a true and genuine
piece of work, and is worthy of a permanent and
a prominent place in biographical literature.
Parker's familiar letters are full of character,
and some of them are rich in humor and “in-
genious nonsense.” Many eminent personages
are gravely or sportively described or mentioned
in them. . It is said that Thackeray, on his voy-
age to this country, declared that the thing in
America, he most desired, was to hear Theodore
Parker talk. Here is Parker's brief description
of Titmarsh: “Saw Thackeray—a great mons-
trous man, six feet and a half high, with a huge
Shock of gray hair on his head ; spectacles, a
large Stumpy nose, and a long old chin. He
seemed a little shy. Sumner was there, and
looked short beside Thackeray.” In addition to
the personal life of Parker, which is full of
beauty and interest, there are many memorable
historical events described in the work. In the
remarkably interesting chapter devoted to the
fight with slavery, the reader will find a graphic
account of the great slave cases of Sims and
Burns. Young Brown, though;open to criticism
in Some respects, is a rather remarkable novel,
full of bustle and incident.
Osgood & Co. have in preparation, for early
publication, “Little Classics,” a series of handy
volumes, convenient for fireside or railway
reading, small enough to be carried in the
pocket, and containing choice stories, sketches,
and a few poems, gathered from many sources.
The series will number twelve or more volumes.
The first, which will appear this month, is en-
titled Etile, containing the following stories and
sketches: Elhan Brand, by Nathaniel Haw-
thorne ; A Night in a Workhouse, by James
Greenwood; The Man Without a Country, by
Edward E. Hale ; The Outcasts of Poker Fat,
by Bret Harte; 'The Flight of a Tartar Tribe, by
Thomas De Quincey. Some of the forthcoming |
new volumes of Osgood's Library of Novels, are
The Son of Vulcan, by the authors of Ready-
Money Mortiboy; Cruel Constancy, by Katharine
Ring ; and Queen of the Regiment, by Katharine
King. Osgood will also publish Idolatry, a new
romance, by Julian Hawthorne, who seems to
have inherited no inconsiderable portion of his
father's genius.
Lee and Shepard have published Seven Daugh-
ters, an admirable little story for the girls by
Miss Amanda M. Douglas, being the initial vol-
ume of a new series entitled The Maidenhood
Series; The Fisher Boys of Pleasant Cove, one of
Parson Kellogg's excellent matter-of-fact stories,
and The llalian Girl, a cleverish novel of the
middling class, by Mrs. Catherine Sedgwick
Washburn, author of Ina. Lee & Shepard have
in press for speedy publication, A Woman's
Vacation, by Mrs. Ella M. Thompson ; Running
the Blockade, by W. H. Thomes; Sunny Shores;
or, Young America in Italy and Austria, by Oliver
Optic ; and Cast, Calalogue of Antique Sculpture,
with photographic illustrations, by W. T. Brig-
ham. L. & S. have moved into a large, elegant,
and convenient store on Franklin street, where
they have greater and better facilities for trans-
acting their large publishing and jobbing busi-
ness than they had at the old stand opposite
the old South Meeting-House.
Fstes & Lauriat have issued Field Ornithol-
ogy : Comprising a Manual of Instruction for Pro-
curing, Preparing, and Preserving Birds, and a
Check, List of North American Birds, by Dr. El-
liott Cones, U. S. A.; The Vienna Exposition and
Philadelphia Centennial; a report to the State of
Massachusetts, by Charles Francis Adams, Jr. ;
and No. 10 of Prof. Estes' Half-Hour Recreations
in Popular Science, containing Origin of Metallif-
erous Deposits, by Prof. T. Sterry Hunt, and
The Phenomena of Sleep, by Dr. Richardson.
Among the new books in press by E. & L. are
Eiena, an Italian story, by L. N. Comyn; Wo-
man's Love; or, Lilce and Unlike, by J. H. Smith,
Waiting-Hoping, a novel from the French of
Andre Leo; Men of the Mayflower, and Other Lec-
tures, by W. M. Punshou, and a new and ele-
gant edition of Victor Hugo's Tour on the
Rhime.
Little, Brown & Co. have published Cooley on
Constitutional Limitations, third edition ; volume
third of De Gex, Jones, and Smith's Reports;
and the sixth edition of Wallcers Introduction to
American Law. “In no country, perhaps, in
the world is the law so general a study,” says
Burke in a speech concerning America ; and,
judging from the many works on law published
and sold by Messrs. Little, Brown & Co., it
seems that the Americans are still partial to
jurisprudence. The concluding volume of Ban-
croft's History of the United States is in press by
this firm, who will also publish, at an early
day, Mr. Francis Parkman's new historical
work, The Old Regime in Canada, containing
the story of the stormy career of Louis de
Buade. Count of Fountenac.
A. K. Loring has brought out Langley Manor,
a veritable lady's novel; and Lilian Dalzell, a
bright and amusing tale of English domestic
life.
Patrick Donahoe has published Holy Week in
the Vatican, by Thomas Canon Pope ; and a
new and revised edition of The Spaewife ; or, the
Queen's Secret, a story of the reign of Elizabeth,
by Paul Peppergrass, to which is added a
biographical sketch of the author. Canon Pope's
volume treats of the ceremonies in the Vatican,
commemorative of the august mysteries of the
passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord.
For Catholic readers, it is perhaps the best
work on Rome yet published. Protestant
readers will find much abstruse and curious
matter in the book. The Spaewife is remarkable
for copiousness of incident and diversity of
story. The historical scenes and characters are
well depicted.
The best of D. Lothrop Co.'s new books are :
Wise and Otherwise, by Pansy ; A Girl's Money,
by Ella Farman ; Grandma Crosby's Household, by
I I4
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
&
Ella Farman ; Myths and Heroes; or, The Child-
hood of the World, edited by Rev. S. F. Smith,
D. D., and Helpful Thoughts for Young Men, by
J. D. Woolsey, LL.D., late President of Yale
College. “Pansy” is really a clever writer, and
her Wise and Otherwise is one of those books
Which “give true pleasure and do real good.”
Miss Farman's two new books are remarkable
for their little affecting incidents, and true in-
sight into human nature. Although Myths
and Heroes was written for the young, it will
afford to older persons interesting information
concerning primitive man. The mythological
Stories of the ancients are related with brevity
and simplicity. President Woolsey’s Helpful
Thoughts for Young Men, consists of three dis-
courses upon such important and weighty Sub-
jects as “Strength to do all Things,” “Serving
Our Generation,” and “God’s Guidance in
Truth.”
Henry Hoyt has published Antoine, the Italian
Boy, being the actual life-story of a boy who
Was, some years since, stolen from his home
in Italy; The King's Servants, City Sparrows, and
Who Fed Them, a clever little story of Scottish
life, full of feeling and pathos; Ned's Search;
and John Dane, a powerful and interesting story,
and an excellent work for the Sunday-school and
the family.
Arthur Gilman, M.A., the popular author of
First Steps in English Literature, is about to pub-
lish a new educational work, entitled First
Steps in General History ; and Professor George
Lowell Austin is engaged upon a defence of As-
pasia, the wife of Pericles, against the calumnies
of all historians. The Rev. Elias Nason, the
painful and painstaking compiler of an excel-
lent Gazetteer of Massachusetts, is writing the
life of Charles Sumner, which will be published
by B. B. Russell, about the first of May.
. BHILADELPHIA, March 31st, 1874.
The book trade of this city is so thoroughly
classified that it is not often dull or lively in all
its departments at the same time, but this
month a general inactivity has prevailed. As
the colleges are closing for the year, our medical
book houses expect business to be light, and
they have not been disappointed. Our school-
book houses, though they have done a fair busi-
ness through the winter, report a marked fall-
ing off in orders for March. The publishers of
mechanical books have felt the effect of the econ-
omy which has been forced upon their patrons,
and our subscription book men have had but
poor returns for the past thirty days. Although
the demand for miscellaneous books has been
light, the publishers have not been idle, and
º of the new books issued have had a fair
S8.10.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued the first
volume of the long announced Memoirs of John
Quincy Adams, comprising portions of his diary
from 1795 to 1848, edited by Charles Francis
Adams; a Treatise on Therapeutics, comprising
Materia Medica and Toxicology, with especial
reference to the application of the physiologi-
cal action of drugs to clinical medicine, by Dr.
H. C. Wood, Jr.; A Manual of Toaſicology, by
Prof. John J. Reese M.D., of the University of
Bennsylvania, treating of the properties of pois-
ons, and the means of detecting them; Bulwer's
Rienzi, in their fine edition of his novels; A Dic-
tionary of Sects, Heresies, and Schools of Thought,
edited by Rev. John H. Blunt, in one large,
handsome, imperial octavo volume ; Alide, by
Emma Lazarus, and Hubert Freeth's Prosperity,
by Mrs. Newton Crossland. The latter is a well
told story, showing how a struggling father
met with ultimate success and became rich, and
portraying vividly the trials, anxieties, and vex-
ations which attend riches. It is a very good
Bnglish novel, and can be read with interest
and profit. Alide is “a romance of Goethe’s
life" written by a New York lady. It is based
upon the incidents related of Goethe's youth,
so often repeated and so often distorted, when
he encouraged a too confiding pastor's daughter
to fall in love with him and then deserted her.
The incidents are skilfully and artistically wo-
ven into a novel, which would be equally as
good were it dissociated altogether from Goethe's
name. Our readers will remember a book issu-
ed about a year ago under the title As She
Would Have It, which fairly expressed the radi-
cal demand on the woman question. The author
has completed, and the Lippincotts will soon
publish As It Should Be, a praiseworthy effort to
give a satisfactory solution to the question.
Still active among our publishers is the enter—
prising firm of T. B. Peterson & Brothers.
During the month of March they have issued
The Hidden Sin, a sequel to the Dethroned Heiress,
from the popular pen of Miss Eliza A. Dupuy;
a new and uniform edition of all her writings—
a timely issue, for the works of this lady are
daily growing in popularity ; and a new edition
of that entertaining novel Hose Foster, by George
W. M. Reynolds. During April the Messrs.
Peterson will give to the public Victor's Triumph,
a sequel to A Beautiful Fiend, by Mrs. South-
worth ; Margaret Hamilton, and Right and Left,
two new novels, by Mrs. C. J. Newby ; The
Gypsy Chief, by George W. M. Reynolds, embel-
lished with numerous engravings. The Peter-
sons never sell their books at Trade sale, but
during the month of April they will give extra
and special discounts on all orders of $100 and
over, thus giving the booksellers the advantage
of the auctioneer's commission.
J. W. Daughaday & Co. have issued a collec-
tion of Model Dialogues and Tableauſt, com.
piled by Wm. M. Clark, the editor of the School-
Day Magazine. They are selected with care,
and are well adapted for entertainment and
instruction, being of every variety of style,
grave and gay, sentimental and humorous.
Henry Carey Baird has added to his list of
valuable practical scientific books, an important
work, by M. L. Gruner. President of the General
Council of Mines of France, translated by
L. D. B. Gordon, Professor of Civil Engineer-
ing in the University of Glasgow. It is entitled
Studies of Blast Furnace Phenomena. The author
has adjusted and arranged for practical use the
facts established by I. Lothian Bell, President,
of the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain:
He also presents some results of his own ex-
periments, and has established analytical formu-
lashy which the calculations may be made for
producing a ton of pig iron at the minimum
cost. Bell's book and this are the most impor—

tant works on the subject ever published. Mr.
Baird has recently published The Theory and
Practice of the Art of Designing Fancy Cotton and
Woollen Cloths from Sample, giving full instruc-
tions for the various processes connected with
Weaving, with calculations and ingenious tables.
He will soon publish a revised edition of the
Practical Treatise on the Manufacture of Colors for
Painting, by Riffault, Vergnand and Toussaint
Porter & Coates have issued the first volume
of their subscription edition of the Waverley
Novels, and new editions of Mrs. E. F. Ellett's
Q teens of America. They will have ready early
in April The Sportman's Club Afloat, the last vol-
ume of that series. By the last of the month
they promise a new Schwartz novel, entitled
Gerda, which they think is fully equal to its
predecessors ; and they will also issue a new
novel from the German of Carl Detlef. A little
later they will publish The Vicissitudes of Bessie
Fuirfax, by Miss Harriet Parr, better known by
her mom de plume, “Holme Lee"; and No Alter-
native, the latest production of “Annie Thomas.”
Miss Parr's works have attained a justly-deserved
popularity. In Forster's Life of Dickens appears
an extract from a letter which Dickens wrote to
Miss Parr, in relation to a MS. she had sent to
him for Household Words. He wrote, “I read
your tale with the strongest emotion, and with
tº very exalted admiration of the great power
displayed in it. It moved me more than I can
express to you.”
Lindsay & Blakiston have published a revised
and enlarged edition of the lectures on the
Qinical Uses of Eectricity, delivered in the
University College Hospital, by J. Russell Rey-
nolds, M. D., F. R. S. A large and able work
on The Diseases of the Ear, by Joseph Toynbee,
F. R. S., with a supplement by Dr. James Hin–
ton; the sixth American edition of Tanner's
Practice of Medicine, and a new edition of
Wythe's handy and valuable little pocket Dose
and Symptom Book. This has been carefully
revised and compared with the new U. S. Dis-
pensatory, so as to embody the recent additions
to the Materia, Medica, and is admirably de-
signed to save the troublé of referring to more
elaborate works.
Henry C. Lea has nearly ready for publication
a new and thoroughly revised edition of Pro-
fessor Edward Parrish's Treatise on Pharmacy,
Which has been out of print for some time. The
delay in the appearance of the new U. S. Phar-
macopoeia, and the sudden death of the author,
have postponed the preparation of this new
edition beyond the period expected. The notes
and memoranda left by Mr Parrish have been
placed in the hands of the editor, Mr. Wiegand,
who has endeavored to embody in the work all
the improvements of pharmaceutical science
which have been introduced during the last ten
years.
T. Elwood Zell has issued the twelfth num-
ber of the Illustrated Fumily Bible, and Nos. 19
and 20 of his revised and enlarged edition of
Duyckinck's Cyclopædia of American Literature.
Each number contains forty large double-
column pages, is well printed, and very finely
illustrated with steel engravings and chromos.
The work will be completed in about fifty-two
parts, which will make, when bound together,
two quarto volumes of about a thousand pages
each. - -
John E. Potter & Co. have published a pleas-
ing novel, entitled The Futul Secret, by Ida
Glenwood, which is the nom de plume of Mrs.
Cynthia M. R. Gorton. She is well known as
a contributor to Godey's and some of the other
magazines, and those who are at all acquainted
with her writings will gladly welcome this, her
first book. The new Bible Encyclopaedia, be-
ing issued by Potter & Co., has reached the 26th
part. It is printed on fine paper, and embel-
lished with fine engravings. It will be com-
pleted in fifty parts.
Claxton, Remsen, & Haffelfinger have publish-
ed a Mechanics' Geometry, by Robert Tiddell,
which “is intended to serve the double purpose
of aiding the student—whether man or boy—to
understand the theory of Geometry, and of
giving the boy who is about to choose a trade
a clear idea of the geometric principles upon
which much of his future work will be based.”
It is a handsome quarto, fully illustrated by
diagrams and explanatory cardboard models.
In April this house will issue Villeta Linden, the
second volume of their new uniform edition of
Emerson Bennett's works ; a Hand-Boolc of the
Locomotive, by Stephen Roper, which will in-
clude directions for the construction, running,
and management of locomotive engines and
boilers ; and a work of historical interest, es-
pecially to the people of Pennsylvania, entitled
A History of the Origin of the Appellation Keyston6
State, which will contain extracts from various
writers relative to the adoption of the Declara-
tion of Independence and the new Constitution
of Pennsylvania.
J. M. Stoddard & Co. have published No Sex in
Education, by Mrs. E. B. Duffey, a reply to Dr.
Clarke's book, and which will be considered by
conservative thinkers as the strongest and
fairest reply that has been written. The author
keeps her temper, and argues logically that Dr.
Clarke is mistaken. T. S. Arthur has just com-
pleted a new book, which he calls Woman to the
Rescue, a temperance story ‘‘ of the new cru-
sade.” It will soon be published by Stoddard
& Co. -.
-- wºm-
The Life of Edwin Forrest, by James Rees (Col-
ley Cibber), published by T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, has just passed to a second edition,
and the third is printing. This book traces care-
fully and fondly the whole story of the rise and
triumphs of the great actor. The tone is that
of enthusiastic friendship, and in nothing does
the writer more delight than in portraying Mr.
Forrest as he appeared in his own home to those
who were the comp unions of his leisure hours.
It also embraces a large collection of reminis-
cence and anecdote, not alone of Mr. Forrest,
but of the drama in this country, and of all the
principal artists that have graced the American
8tage.
findsay & Blakiston, of Philadelphia, are
paying much attention to Dentistry books, and
have just issued a new catalogue of such works,
comprising some of the best in the language.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
THE Situation.
" The question uppermost in the minds of
the book trade at this time is one of reform.
Dissatisfaction has before been felt, and
measures looking to the correction of abuses
have often been put forward and discussed,
but at no time has the discontent been so
universal, and the circumstances so favorable
for united action, as , the present. Not that
the trade is so thoroughly disorganized as
some of the chronic discontents would make
us believe ; but it is an undisputed fact that
its risks are in many cases wholly dispropor-
tionate to the profits, and something should
be done to better protect the large amount
of capital that is now invested in the busi-
I) CSS.
The trade has met with so many reverses,
that the conviction now forces itself upon
nearly every man engaged in it, that a change
in the manner of conducting it is essential to
future success. The necessity is unquestion-
ed; the only matter to be determined is the
In 68.I].S.
The Cincinnati Convention, though it failed
to appreciate the real and most urgent wants
of the trade, took a step in the right direc-
tion, and its members deserve much praise
for their zeal. Whether the Union, as now
organized, shall accomplish the work or not,
it has opened the way, and if it only brings
about a better understanding between pub-
lishers and booksellers, it will do much to
solve the question as to how the reforms shall
be inaugurated. That these two branches of
the trade, so mutually dependent, do not un-
derstand each other is apparent, on the one
side, by the frequent violations of sound
business principles, in underselling and like
practices, and on the other, by the resolutions
of the booksellers at Cincinnati. We have
refrained from criticising those resolutions,
because we believed that any resolutions were
better than none, as they would at least fur-
nish a basis for action, and because the dele-
gate who is to present them to the publishers,
has full power to modify them at his discre-
tion, and to get the opinions of the publishers
thereon, and we preferred to wait for his
report.
We do not believe that the publishers will
bind themselves to the resolutions as they
left the Convention, but Mr. Aston will carry
back to the Association many useful hints
and suggestions, which will greatly assist
them in understanding the real evils of the
trade, and the most practical methods of
getting rid of them. But this, though a great
deal, is not enough. Nothing of importance
can be accomplished without the active co-
operation of the publishers. As the business
of publishing stands quite as much in need of
reform as any other branch of the trade, we
are convinced that such co-operation will not
be withheld, when fair and feasible measures
are properly presented. That co-operation,
to be possible, must be mutual. No publisher
can afford to commit himself to any of the de-
sired changes of his established business rules,
without knowing the exact position of other
houses in relation to the new rules. Each
publisher, however anxious he may be to have
avowed abuses corrected, is unwilling to
pledge himself to conform to any rule which
is not generally adopted.
This united action of the publishers cannot
be secured by individual visits, but can only
be obtained by a full discussion in Convention.
It is necessary that the publishers should take
part in that Convention, for they not only
have heavy interests involved, and an anxious
desire to make the business safer and more
profitable, but it is their knowledge and ex-
perience which is needed to secure success to
the movement.
We therefore repeat the suggestion which
we made before the meeting of the Cincin-
nati Convention: that the next meeting be
held in New York, and that the publishers
be personally requested to attend and present
their views. Preliminary Conventions can
be held throughout the West and South, and
delegates elected and fully instructed. As
this matter is in the hands of the Executive
Committee, we would urge it upon them as
one of vital importance. Upon the place of
the next meeting, will depend very much the
success or failure of the movement.

PHILLIPSBURG, N. J., March, 1874.
EDITOR OF THE GUIDE:
I see by the March GUIDE that “prices” are
to be considered at the April hº of the
Publishers' Board of Trade. I object to the
“ dozen º’ price, because if anyone goes into a
wholesale store in your city, and inquires the
price of a book, he is told the “dozen " price,
but Says he only wants two, and is sold 1-6 doz.,
and the thing is considered all right. In this
way the trade within one hundred miles of your
city is demoralized.
If discounts are too great, reduce them, and
reduce wholesale prices to correspond. Retail
prices will then be reduced, so that more books
will be sold. Whatever prices are fixed upon,
let them be adhered to strictly, and the retailer
protected.
I find no fault with publishers for mailing
their books at retail prices. It is a great ac-
| commodation to many people, and my customers
prefer to give me their orders rather than run
the risk of sending their money via mail, and
º books crushed out of shape in the mail-
ags. ;
The time for introducing prices should be
limited more closely, and theological and Sun-
day-school book prices adhered to by the pub-

lishers, even if trade discounts have to be
reduced.
Some of the publishers of good theology prac.
tice a very bad kind in their business.
Publishers have the advantage in arranging
prices, as they are mostly wealthy and well-
organized, while retailers are in most cases poor
and unorganized.

Education is a collection of essays, edited by Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe, and is published by Roberts
Brothers; No Sea: in Education, is written by

tenth volume and part of the eleventh is in the

Voices appeared some years ago in the Atlantic,
and attracted much attention. Since that time
much has been added, and it has but recently
received the last touches at the hands of the
distinguished author.

to be called Little Classics, will be very welcome.
The first volume will be entitled Ecile, and will
comprise Hawthorne's Eihan Brand, Irving's
Rip Van Winkle, Brete Harte's Outcasts ºf Poker
Fiat, De Quincey's Fight of a Tartar: A Night in a
Workhouse, by James Greenwood, and E. E.
Hale's Man Wilhout a Country. If these are not
classical “exiles " it would be difficult to find
them in the language. A number of volumes
are already projected. The series is to be edit-
ed by Rossiter Johnson.
A Voice from the Deep, by Capt. P. Strickland,
published by A. Williams & Co., Boston, is an
eloquent appeal for the sailor, from an old sea-
man of twenty years service in ‘’ nearly every
capacity on board of a merchant ship.” It treats
in detail of the various phases of a sailor's life
at sea and on shore, and of the many evils which
contribute to his degradation. It is written
temperately but earnestly, bears the imprint of
truthfulness and candor, and should be widely
read.
THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.

S. C. Griggs & Co., Chicago. have published
A New Discussion of the Trinily, by Rev. F. H.
Burris, in which the author, a Methodist divine,
has made an argument from the Bible, which
the Chicago Alliance says, “will surprise the old
sehool theologians, and will create no small
amount of talk in all the orthodox churches.
But as the work is calmly and earnestly written.
and by a man of deep piety, we shall all wel-
come it, for we all desire to hear both sides.”
A. L. Bancroft & Co., San Francisco, have
published The Teachings of the Ages, by A. C.
Traveler, in which the author, as he says in his
preface, has endeavored “to trace the Logic of
Events, in their sequential order of unfolding,
and to show from them the universal principles
of God’s Government, etc.” Although, as the
author says again, “suggestive rather than
argumentative,” it is comprehensive in its
treatment of the subject, commencing with the
Garden of Eden, and coming down through the
Israelitish Dispensation, and the Christian
era, to the Roman Catholic and Protestant
Churches, which latter it treats denomina-
tionally, to Mormonism, Woman in the Church,
and other questions of to-day. It is pre-
eminently a book for thinkers.

and third volumes of which have recently been
issued in that city. He gives at considerable
length his impression of this country, with
which he seems to have been highly pleased.
He was dissatisfied with Cuba, its climate, its
people, and with Cuban food. He devotes a
whole chapter to the beauties of the Bay of Rio
Janeiro, and thinks the climate of Brazil de-
lightful, but he was not favorably impressed
with the women or the soldiers. Of Japan
and its people he speaks in high terms of praise.
According to the Gazette correspondent, the
book must be very pleasant reading.

Meeting the Sun, or a Journey All Round the
|Wºrld, recently announced in London, is by
Mr. W. Simpson, who made the tour for the
Illustrated News. He happened to be in Cali-
fornia when the Modoc war broke out, and was
the “artist on the spot” who furnished the

with heliotypes and wood engravings.
M. Emile Ollivier’s reception at the French
Academy, which was to have taken place on the
5th of March, was indefinitely postponed on

address which he proposed to deliver on that
cocasion, and which he would not change at the
request of the Academy. Ollivier has appealed
to the public, and the address has been published
in full in the Paris papers. The objectionable
phrases are understood to be those which speak
of Lamartine as a supporter of Napoleon III.,
and those which present in strong language his
own favorable opinion of the late Emperor.

cluding twenty-eight operas, eighteen masses,
and a great variety of miscellaneous works.
: No opera has ever been more popular than
Flotow’s “Martha.” Since 1849, when it first
appeared, it has been performed upward of 1,000
times, at all the great theatres of the world; and
it still is a perfect gold mine for its composer,
who derives from it alone, aside from his other.

pressly for the Leipsic Conscrvatory, and is

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
THE jStationery - MARKET,
| . Trade was quite brisk in the beginning of the month, but towards its close, contrary to expectations, and to all pre-
vious experience, it has fallen off to a lower point than it has reached before during the year.
The advance in gold has caused a corresponding advance in all imported goods, and it is probable that there will be
a still further advance.
With few exceptions, domestic goods are held at the same rates.
In the following price list, reductions have been
made in Peerless Ink, Mucilage, Washington Medallion Pens, Silicate Book Slates, and in several styles of Inkstands.

THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY'S
I, I S T O F
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of The American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business and under-
‘stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no dis-
appointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reference;
therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must häve one or the other. 2d.—In making remittances,
always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by mail is at risk
of parties sending. 4th.—The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for packing or carting
in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.--Small orders receive the
same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and Magazines on sale to those
who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, whless they order us not to do so. . We
believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as published to booksellers, unless specially
ordered to the contrary. 8th. –Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to customers free upon application. 9th.—Let-
ters, with full signature and address, should be enclosed with all remittances. 10th.-We enclose bill daily to costumers
having parcels by Express, to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.—Newsdealers pay the Postage on their Packages of
Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rates of postage as if paid quarterly in advance.
|POSTAGE TO NEWS DEA LIERS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. PAPER COWERED NOVELS, same rates as Magazines.
MAGAZINES, Two Cents for every Four Ounces. JBOUND BOOKS, Two Cents for every Two Ounces.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited with
what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly subscrip-
tions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in advance. Upon
finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (enclosing the wholesale price per this list, to
cover one week's papers) similar to this form:

P A R L O R E N T E F. T. A. I N M E N T S.
We are now prepared to issue the first nmmbers of the first series of Animals and Birds of North America; these we
propose to continue, and to add to them a second series of foreign specimens, and a third of various Animals and Birds
in grotesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natural instincts. -
We offer these views not as pictures only, but as studies from nature. One of the great moving elements in our modern
system of education is object teaching. The uDerring fidelity of the stereoscope transfers the Animals and Birds from
their natural habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting
impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of each specimen.
An experience of more than twenty-five years as Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Natural History, and
in gathering our large collection of native and foreign specimens, enables us to represent the results of our own work, and
to combine in every view the locality of the specimen with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and coloring from the
originals. Back numbers and parts of sets always on hand.

CONJUGAL S INS
AGAINST TELE
Laws of Life and Health,
AND
THEIR - EFFECTS UPON THE FATHER, IMOTHER, AND CHILD.
By AUGUSTUS K. GARDNER, A.M., M.D.,
Late Professor of Diseases of Females and Clinical Midwifery in the New York Medical College.
TWENTIETH THOUSAND. REVISED EDIT1ON, WITH A NEW PREFACE.
on E voluyre, 12mro, CLoTII, $1.50; PAPER, $1.00.
END ORSEMENTS AND OFINIONS.
“Dr. Gardner claims a right to be heard, as a physician who has spent twenty-five years in
the almost exclusive study and practice of that particular branch of his profession known as the
Diseases of Females; and as a man who feels deeply his responsibility to breast the tide of error,
sin, and misery that is overwhelming the commuuity in consequence of unholy practices. . . .
It is a sound, earnest book, written with knowledge, purpose, and feeling. The subject is of
immense and urgent interest, and should be taken up by men of social position and professional
eminence whose word has authority. There is, perhaps, no class of subjects on which the com-
munity at large more needs plain, wise teaching. . . . . . . Let all who know their duty perform
it as ably and earnestly as Dr. Gardner has done, and a salutary impression will be made on the
public mind and heart, the good results of which will appear in an improved state of private and
public morals.”—New York Tribune.
From Rev. Dr. JoHN ToDD, author of the “Student's Manual,” etc., etc.: “You have done
well, and I hail every attempt to lift up or hold back poor humanity from evil most praiseworthy.
Were you to hear all the confessions about “Conjugal Sins' which might be made, your ears
would give out under the wail.” -
“There is no topic properly within the range of the title that is not treated with competent
authority and excellent discretion.”—N. Y. Herald. Q
“The author's words are of great import, and deserve serious attention. They are, too, so
delicately chosen, that they can give no offence to the most fastidious.”—Evening Post (Chicago).
“It is unexceptionable in tone and calculated to be very useful in its advice. We hope it
will be sold and read and its counsels heeded.”—Congregationalist (Boston).
“It is written in the best spirit, scientific and moral, and it ought to be read by husbands
and wives, and fathers and mothers.”—N. Y. Independent. tº
“. . . . . It is elevated in tone, thorough and yet delicate in treatment.”—Bome Jour-
mal, N. Y. -
“No parent will fail of reading every. line in the book with the most absorbing interest. It
is a boon to womankind.”—Halle Journal of Health.
“No one, young or old, should be without the important information it contains.”—Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Paper. -

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH of DR. X. Bourg-EOIS,
By HOWARD F, DAMON. A. M., M.D,
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
[It is a work which has come none too soon, and can have
a circulation equally among the young and middle-aged
none too wide—for it treats in a judicious way topics of
primal importance, not only to the inexperienced, but to
those long in the married state.—The Commonwealth
[Its spirit is eminently good, and its statements are worth
pondering.—Boston Journal.]
[Married women can read it with profit. The subject is
one on which there is great need of light—Moore's Rural
New Yorker.]
[The author sets forth the beauties of true love—not pas-
sión. He thinks marriage the only true consummation of
love—the only safeguard to society and health.-Rutland
Daily Globe.] -
[It is free from sensationalism, and is a work to be com-
mended.—Lowell Daily Courier )
[A careful examination of the book will satisfy the reflect:
ing reader that the author treats this most serious and
difficult topic with great professional ability, and with a
clearness and propriety of diction, and a cogency of argu-
ment that cannot fail to be productive of much good.-
Boston Daily Globe.]
[A very judicious treatment of a very delicate topic. It
is full of information, deals practically with physical and
social sins, shows their results upon the system, and is a
powerful medical plea for virtue and social morality.—
Providence Evening Press.]

Fornay's Anecdotes of Public Men
AL's O OFFERED As A PREMIKUML.A ... -**:
Retail price, $2.00 per copy. In anticipation of the Third Edition, we offer (post-paid) a copy of the
“Anecdotes of Public Men” to any person who will send us ten subscribers for the WEEKLY PRESS, one
of the most varied publications in the country, abounding in literary, agricultural, political, and business
matter, printed in quarto form, on strong white paper, and with clear, beautiful type.
FORNEY'S WEEKLY PRESS claims to be the Best Family Paper, the Best Literary Journal, the Best
Republican Weekly, the Best Agricultural Organ, the Best Weekly Newspaper, the Best Advertising
Medium in the Keystone State. It is, in all respects, the exponential journal of Pennsylvania, going every-
where, and always striking the leading and representative men in each township.
The Agricultural Page of this Paper is a marked specialty. Its management is in the exclusive control
of Mr. THOMAS MEEEAN, whose reputation throughout the whole country as a practical and successful
agriculturist is well and favorably known.
AMOUNT of READING MATTER.—There is, perhaps, no weekly journal which gives so much interesting
and instructive reading matter in a single number as FORNEY'S WEEKLY PRESS. Its connection with
the Associated Press enables the proprietor of the WEEKLY PRESS to furnish the readers with the very
latest Foreign and Domestic News by telegraph, steamships, and Atlantic Cable. Full market reports—
money, grain, cattle, and general—of Philadelphia and all the leading cities of the Union, constitute a pro-
minent and invaluable feature of the WEEKLY PRESS. The greatest care is exercised in the selection of
the varied table of contents, and in the making up of the paper.

Permanent ProCBSS,
HISTORY OF THE INQUISITION.
By WILLIAM HARRIS RULE, D.D.
—4)—
ABOUT five years ago Dr. RULE published his History of
the Inquisition in every Country where its Tribunals have been
Established, from the Titelfth Century to the Present Time.
Encouraged by the favourable acceptance that volume
found, its Author has collected the results of further
study, recomposed the whole, and with very considerable
enlargement now presents a more comprehensive work
to the public in two handsome library volumes.
The whole field of direct Inquisitorial action is re-
viewed. Care is taken not to overstate facts, nor to state
anything which is not related on original authority. The
Author's design has been not so much to picture the
horrors of the Inquisition, which cannot be concealed, as
to exhibit the origin, the spirit, and the policy of the
Institution ; to mark its relations with the Church to
which it has belonged, and the uses it has served; to
point out its vital unity with the most despotic forms of
government, both civil and ecclesiastical ; and to guide
the reader in estimating the influences of the so-called
Holy Office, as it appears in the history of Southern
European States, with some of their Colonies in the
Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Materials for trustworthy pictorial illustration enable
the Author to give a few portraits of Inquisitors and
others, with representations of objects of interest. The
typography is in the best style, with corresponding paper
and binding.

IMPORTANT TO STUBSCRIBERS.
A MEDIUM for the Sale and Exchange of Old Books and
Magazines is a constantly growing want among dealers.
Much old stock, which is useless in the hands of one dealer,
may be readily disposed of to appreciative buyers in another
locality, if those buyers have some inexpensive means of
making their wants known.
Back numbers of Magazines are often wanted to complete
volumes; old and rare Books are always in demand, but as
the would be buyer cannot afford to pay regular rates for
advertising, their possessor is obliged to see them wear out
on his shelves and finally sells them for old paper.
To meet the above want, we shall hereafter devote a few
pages of each issue of the BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE to
BOOKS. WANTED,
Under which every Paying Subscriber' will be entitled
WITHOUT CEHARGE.
to five nonpareil column lines in any number. For any
additional lines, twenty cents each will be charged. This
offer is made to regular subscribers only. All others will
be charged twenty cents per line for each insertion. Ad-
dresses and titles should be plainly written, and copy should
reach this office, as early as the 20th of each month, to
secure insertion in the next number.

Under this head we will insert advertisements at twenty
cents per nonpareil line. No charge will be made in either
list for space occupied by the address of the advertiser, and
no title of book or periodical will occupy less than one line.

THE £ook MARKET.
NEw York, Feb. 28th, 1874.
There has been little during the month to
disturb the quiet which has prevailed in the
book trade. The demand for standard books
has been very light indeed, and few new works
have been issued of such importance as to cause
a ripple of excitement. Business in paper
novels and cheap books remains more uniform,
being less subject to fluctuations in demand ;
and both publishers and dealers in such books
have done a fair business for the season. Our
publishers are busy in the preparation of new
volumes, and next month's list will contain
many important books.
Harper & Brothers have added to their ad-
mirable edition of Bulwer's works his last novel,
The Parisians, with the illustrations of Sydney
Hall. This is undoubtedly the best of the
many good works of this author, in which ap-
pear all the excellencies without the incon-
sistencies of his former works. The book will
be read with the greater interest from the fact
that it was his last. Lord Lytton was a labor-
ious student and a prolific writer, and, as if he
had a premonition that this would be his last
literary work, he seems to have thrown into it
all the skill and ability acquired by long years of
study. The Harpers have also issued Among our
Sailors, by J. Grey Jewell, late U. S. Consul at
Singapore; Pet; or, Pastimes and Penalties, a
book for children, by H. R. Haweis; a novel en-
titled Lottie Darling, by John Cordy Jeaffreson ;
and Ship Ahoy! a capital story for boys. Dr
Jewell's book is a timely one, “designed to
meet a popular demand for a clear, full, and
authentic exposition of the relations between
American Sailors and their employers and
officers.” The author’s official position at a
distant port gave him the greatest facilities for
observing the evil practices which obtain in our
merchant service—-facilities which he zealously
improved in gathering materials for his valuable
book. It will be widely read, and if it results
in ameliorating the condition of our sailors, the
author will deserve the thanks of his country-
men. It contains an appendix of extracts from
the laws and consular regulations governing the
Lnited States merchant Service, which adds to
sº
its value as a library book. Lottie Darling is a
very cleverly written love novel, containing an
interesting plot, some well-drawn sketches of
character, is without that morbid sentimentality
which sometimes detracts from such ventures,
and contains enough humor to be pleasant
reading. Pet, by the author of Music and
Morals, is a very pretty book for children, con-
taining fifty good illustrations. The Harpers
have nearly ready a heavy book of Oriental
travel, entitled The Land of the White Elephant,
by Frank Vincent, Jr., which will be profusely
illustrated; Motley's Life and Death of John of
Barneveld, and several other good books. The
Evangelical Alliance Conference, 1873, edited by
Rev. Doctors Prime and Schaff, may also be ex-
pected next month.
Robert Carter & Brothers have published a
volume of sermons by Rev. Dr. Candlish; Willow
Brook, a story by the author of Wide, Wide
World; a story entitled Guiseppe's Home, by the
author of the little books known as the “Dare
to Do Right" series; and Gates of Prayer, by
J R. Macduff, D.D. ; President McCosh, of
Princeton, has been for some years engaged on
a History of Scottish Philosophy, from the ear-
liest period to Sir William Hamilton. It is
nearly completed, and the earlier portion is
now in press by Carter & Brothers, but owing
to the extent of the work, and the great care
needed in carrying it, through the press, it will
not be ready till the autumn. The same house
will soon issue in one volume The Period of the
Reformation, 1517 to 1648, by the late Prof.
Hausser, of Heidelberg, an admirable and in-
teresting resumé of the ecclesiastical and civil
history of that remarkable period ; also a
new book of foreign travel, A Lawyer Abroad;
How to See and What to See, by Henry Day, a
member of the New York Bar. The Carters
have also in press for young people The Reef
and other Parables, by the Rev. E. H. Bicker-
steth, author of Yesterday, To-day and Forever,
with illustrations.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have issued Martin
Chuzzlewit in their new illustrated edition of
Dickens; and Bessie Wilmerton, a novel by
Margaret Westcott. This is a very good story
and very well told. It is unexceptionable in tone,
has an excellent moral, and is a very Safe book
74.
THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
to put into the hands of young people.
Older people will not find it uninteresting. A
Somewhat curious book is Genesis Disclosed, by
Thomas A. Davies, lately issued by Carleton.
The author upholds the theory that Adam re-
presents a class rather than an individual, and
thinks he has found a great error in the King
James translation, which, if corrected, will
make the account of the creation harmonize
with this theory. The book is worth the atten-
tion of Bible students,
E. P. Dutton & Co. have published several
excellent religious books for the Lenten season.
Dear Feast of Lent, a series of devotional read-
ings, in poetry and prose, arranged by the
author of Rutledge, there being a selection for
each day ; a new and cheaper edition of A
. Rosary for Lent, a book of the same description,
by the same author; Christian Counsels, being
Selections from the devotional works of Arch-
bishop Fenelon, translated by A. M. James ;
and a little volume in paper, by Rev. G. H.
Wilkinson, entitled Some Week-Days in Lent,
consisting of a portion of his lectures delivered
in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. Dutton & Co.
Will publish next month The Silence and Voices
of God, by F. W. Farrar, the Chaplain to the
Queen, a work which has been very favorably
noticed in England. They will also publish
i. author's Life of Christ, just issued in Eng-
&ll Cl.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have published Woman
Before the Law, by John Proffatt, LL.D., and
The Life of George Dashiell Bayard, late Captain
in the U. S. A. and Brigadier-General of Wol-
unteers. The former work is by a New York
Lawyer, and gives us, in a\concise and handy
form, much information which is useful and
interesting. It surveys the history of the sex,
and treats of laws of marriage, personal rights
and disabilities, rights of property, reciprocal
rights and duties of mother and children, and
the laws of divorce. Altogether, in these days
of agitation of “Woman's Rights,” it is a
very convenient book for reference. The Life
of Bayard is written by his father, Samuel J.
Bayard. The subject of the memoir gradu-
ated at West Point in 1856, served on the
plains until the breaking out of the war, took
part in the campaigns in Virginia, and was
killed at the battle of Fredericksburg in De-
cember, 1862. The volume gives a genealogical
history of the Bayard family in America, but is
principally made up of letters giving experi-
ences of West Point Cadet life, and on the
frontier. From these letters the book derives
its interest for the general reader. The Put-
nams have added several valuable little books.
to their “Elementary Science Series,” and have
published The Portable Atlas of Modern Geogra-
phy, constructed by John Bartholomew, F. R.
G. S. This is a convenient octayo, containing
sixteen maps, and like the Atlas of Scripture
Geography, and the Student's Atlas of Classical
Geography, issued by the same house, is a mar.
vel of cheapness, containing, as they do, all
the details that are included in the much more
expensive works. The Putnams will issue, at
an early date, a work on the Normal School for
colored students at Hampton, Va.; and the long
announced work on The Education of American
Girls, which will consist of a series of lectures
and papers by various authors, and be edited,
with an introduction, by Miss Anna C. Brackett,
formerly principal of the St. Louis Normal
School. e
Henry Holt & Co. have published, in their
“Leisure Hour Series,” Jupiter's Daughter, a
novel, by Mrs. C. Jenkins, from advance sheets;
also three other books from the same author, A
Psyche of To-day, Madam De Beaupré, and Skir-
mishing. They will issue next month Desperate
Remedies and Far from the Madding Crowd, both
from the pen of Thomas Hardy, whose books,
issued last summer, are remembered with pleas-
ure ; and a new novel by Auerbach, entitled
Waldfried, to be published from advance sheets,
by special arrangement with the author.
D. Appleton & Co. have published The Puer-
peral Diseases, a series of lectures delivered at
Bellevue Medical College, by Fordyce Barker,
M. D., who has been connected with that insti-
tution for twenty years, and has had unusual
opportunities for the study of the diseases of
which he treats; a work on Physical Measure-
ment, by Dr. F. Kohlrausch, translated by
Thomas H. Waller and Henry R. Proctor, F. C.
S.; and Conservation of Energy, the latest vol-
ume in the “International Science Series,”
which is sufficient to recommend it to scientific
readers It is written by Balfour Stewart, LL.
D., of Owens College, Manchester, who treats of
the nature of energy, mechanical energy, and
its change into heat, the law of conservation,
transmutations of energy, and the position of
life. The book also contains Le Conte's essay
on the “Correlation of Vital with Physical
Forces,” which is revised and re-stated by the
author, and Professor Bain’s essay on the Cor-
relation of Mental and Nervous Forces. The Ap-
pletons will issue, in March, Dr. Pettigrew's
work on Animal Locomotion, and Rae's Willces,
Sheridan and Fake, a very able book, treating of
the most eventful period of English history—
the reign of George III. They also have nearly
ready for publication Upton's Assimilated Tactics
for the United States Army.
H. L. Hinton & Co. have issued Put to the Test,
a story of peasant life in France, containing all
the essentials of a popular novel, by Charles
Chamberlain, Jr. ; and Social Science, “a review,
historical and critical, of the progress of thought
in social philosophy,” by Robert S. Hamilton.
This book was printed several years ago, and
some press copies sent out, but its issue was
then deferred by the author on account of some
extreme views contained in it, in regard to social
life in the South. It is a work of ability, and a
valuable contribution to Sociology. Hinton &
Co. are preparing for issue several books from
the popular German author, Paul Heyse. The
earliest will be The Children of the World, and
Three Types of Womanhood. The second volume
of The Humorous Chap-Books of Scotland is
nearly ready. -
Macmillan & Co. have brought out a number
of valuable books, among which are Tait's
Elementary Treatise on Qualernions; an Inlro-
duction to Quaternions, by Holland and Tait ; a
scientific work on Steam, by J. Perry; Martin's
THE AMERICAN BOOKS E L LERS’ G UIDE.
75
Stutesman's Year Boolc for 1874, a very useful
handbook and probably the best of its kind ;
and the first volume of the Constitution'tl History
of England, by William Stubbs, Professor of
Modern EHistory at Oxford.
Dodd & Mead have published another pleas-
ing book from Edward Garrett, entitled Goºd
and Dross. There is a quiet charm about this
author's books which makes them always enjoy-
able, and it is sufficient to say of this that it is
not inferior to her others. This house will issue
within the coming month new editions of
several books of Miss Manning's which have
been out of print for several years, including
the Maiden and Married Life of Mary Powell;
Cherry and Violet; and the Faire Gospeller. These
are historical novels, and are quite popular
with English readers.
James Miller has issued a volume of poems
and poetic dramas, entitled The Cloud of Wit-
messes, by Opal, whose reception will depend
very much upon the individual taste of the
reader. The first in the collection is a drama
of the creation, each act of which covers a
geologic period, the dramatis personae being
angels. It is a very ingenious and novel at-
tempt to unite science with poetry.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have issued vol.
ume four of the Speaker’s Commentary; a new
edition of Agassiz' Structure of Animal Life;
Central Asia, compiled by Bayard Taylor; Max
Müller's work On Missions ; the latest volume of
Lºnge's Commentary, and Professor John Stuart
Blackie's work on Self-Culture. Agassiz's book
has been so long out of print that it will be to
many a new book, and this edition is a verv
good one. It comprises six lectures, delivered
by the author in 1862. The public will never
tire of books of travel, and Central Asia will find
many appreciative readers. It gives, besides a
general description of that portion of the world
named by the title, short accounts of the early
travellers, and a chapter devoted to the Russian
campaign against Khiva. The fourth volume of
the Speaker's Commentary includes Job, Psalms,
Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.
Lange's Commentary is edited in this country by
Dr. Philip Schaff, and, although based on that
of the German editor whose name it bears, is in
many respects a new work, as much of it is by
American commentators. The present volume
is upon the Minor Prophets. On Missions is the
scholarly lecture delivered by Max Müller in
Westminster Abbey, on the religious systems of
the world. The volume has an introductory
sermon by Dean Stanley. Self-Culture is a well-
written little book by Professor Blackie, of the
University of Edinburgh, which, without being
too learned and correspondingly dull, gives some
very useful hints in regard to the culture of the
mind, the morals, and the body.
The importations of Scribner, Welford &
Armstrong include a new and enlarged edition
of Stonehenge's British Rural Sports; a beauti-
ful edition of Dyer's History of Pompeii; Man-
ners and Customs of the Ancient Irish, by E.
O'Curry, in three heavy volumes ; new editions
of Dr. Faraday's Works on the Forces of Nature.
and The Chemical History of a Candle; Lives of
Remarkable Criminals, a book that has had a
large sale in England ; and Richard Wagner,
and the Music of the Future, by Dr. Franz
Hueffer, in which the author argues that “the
possibility of music for the sole sake of sonor-
ous beauty, has virtually ceased to exist, and
any composer with higher aspirations than
those of a genre painter, has to consider it his
task to express a precºnceived poetical idea by
means of sound.” The memoir and criticism of
Wagner are interesting. The work also con-
tains essays on Schumann, Liszt, Schubert, and
other modern German composers.
The National Temperance Society have pub-
lished the National Temperance Orator, and a
very good little story, by Mary J. Hedges, en-
titled The While Rose. Warren & Wyman have
issued a work on Baptism, by Rev. Samuel
Hutchings, and a little devotional book, by
George Macdonald, sufficiently explained by
the title, Cure for Thoughl-Taking.
William Wood & Co. have published a Hand-
Book of Medical and Surgical Reference, by Dr.
John A. Wyeth ; and Dr. Peugnet's paper read
before the Medico-Legal Society on The Nature
of Gunshot Wounds of the Abdomen, and their
Treatment, based on a review of the case of the
late James Fisk, Jr. The author strongly ad-
vocates a reform in the manner of conducting
criminal investigations, and in the rules gov-
erning the introduction of the testimony of ex-
perts.
The Orange Judd Company have published a
work of practical value in Hussey's National Col-
tage Architecture. It is a handy quarto volume
of designs and directions for low priced build-
ings... It contains sixty-three plates of buildings
and the parts which enter into their construc-
tion, and twenty-four pages of text. Full speci-
fieations are given for a few designs, and the
cost of the others is easily estimated, with the
information which Mr. Hussey gives. There is
ample variety in the designs, and the suggestions
and directions will be very useful to those who
Contemplate building.
BosTox, March 1, 1874.
Perhaps the book trade last month was not
'quite so dull as it usually is in February,
though, to be sure, there were not many new
books issued during the month, and for most
of them the advance orders were almost dis-
couragingly small.
James R. Osgood & Co. have published The
Life and Works of Anna Laelilia Barbauld, by
Mrs. Grace A. Ellis, in two volumes; a new
edition of #º or Happy Talk Towards
the End of Life, by William Mountford, author
of Miracles Past and Present ; Life of Thomas
Jefferson, by James Parton ; Fubles in Song, by
Robert, Lord Lytton, author of Poems by Owen
Meredith, etc.; and Zelda's Forlwme by the author
of Earl's Deme, etc.
The principal attraction of Mrs. Ellis's Me-
moir of Mrs. Barbauld is the correspondence,
which contains much excellent sense, and con-
siderable amusing gossip about many of Mrs.
Barbauld's eminent friends and contemporaries.
The selection from Mrs. Barbauld's writings is
made with taste and discrimination, and in-
cludes several things of permanent value and

interest, such as the famous essay, entitled
Against Inconsistency in Our Expectations, which
is, according to Hazlitt, one of the most in-
genious and sensible essays in the language;
The Misses, a charming little Pllegory, full of
Smiling Satire ; Summer Evening Meditation,
Which is full of noble lines—passages of sheer
poetry ; the song beginning
“Come here, fond youth, whoe'er thou be,”
which Leigh Hunt says has all the devoted
energy of the old poets; and the fine poem on
“Life,” which beautifully thus concludes: —
“Life I we’ve been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather ;
'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, -
Perhaps "t will cost a sigh, a tear ; -
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time ;
Say not Good Night, but in some brighter clime
Bid me Good Morning.” g
Wordsworth, who was not in the habit of
grudging people their good things, wished he
had written these lines.
Eulhanasy is a series of dialogues on life,
death, and immortality—a great and solemn
subject seriously and beautifully treated. In
discoursing upon their high argument the in-
terlocutors branch out into a wide diversity of
topics, and talk in a sagacious and suggestive
manner, and with rare spiritual and intellectual
insight upon -
“the common things that round us lie.”
Mr. Mountford's style is elegant and emergetic,
and has now and then the quaintness and
beauty of the old English prose writers. A
good reader will read Euthanasy as “a celestial
recreation.”
Mr. Parton's Life of Jefferson is not only the
most thorough and painstaking biography of
the great statesman yet published, but it is one
of the most entertaining biographical works in
the language. It has the fascination of a ro-
mance, and every one of its seven hundred and
sixty-four pages can be read without skipping
and without a yawn. Owen Meredith's new
work contains nearly sixty poems of various
degrees of merit. The public, if not all lovers
of poesy, will gladly welcome the volume, and
peruse it with serene satifaction. a'
Zelda’s Fortune is one of those novels which
are read with “ravishing Satisfaction” by stu-
dents of romance, and is, as Lady Peckham
would say, one of “the tip-toppest" stories of
the day. The work is remarkable for its deep-
laid plot and its startling incidents. Osgood &
Co. will issue, this month, the new biography of
Theodore Parker, by that eloquent preacher
and brilliant writer, O. B. Frothingham ; The
Queen of the Regiment, a novel; and Poems, by
Miss Hudson, a favorite contributor to the Al-
lantic Monthly. This house will also publish,
during the spring, the Middle States Guide, by
the author of the Handbook of New England;
JBaddeck, a volume of travel and adventure
among “the blue noses,” by Charles D. Warner ;
Life Under Glass, being the description of a win-
ter garden on a large scale, for the cure of pul-
monary and other diseases, by Geo. A. Shore ;
and Prudence Palfrey, T. B. Aldrich's delicious
little New England story, now publishing by
driblets in the Atlantic. -
Roberts Brothers have issued Thorpe Regis, by
Frances M. Peard, author of Rose Garden, etc.;
Lessing's Laocoon, translated by Miss Ellen
Frothingham ; and Bronson Alcott's Records of
a School. Miss Peard is one of the sweetest and
purest female novelists of the day, and Thorpe
Regis is perhaps the best of her beautiful domes-
tic romances. The story is laid in England. and
is rich in lively and genuine pictures of life in a
sleepy old country town. The work is of deep in-
terest, and will compare favorably with the best
of Miss Thackeray's charming productions.
Those who, like Emerson, love to be beholden
to “the great metropolitan English speech,” can
now read the Laocoon—“that incomparable little
book ’’ as Lewes rightly calls it—in a good Eng-
lish version. Goethe, says his biographer, rose
from the perusal of the Laocoon with his mind
widened, strengthened, and inspired ; and Lord
Macaulay confessed that the reading of this book
formed an epoch in his mental history, and that
he learned more about wit from it than he had
ever learned elsewhere. The conversations in
the Records of a School were recorded by Miss
Elizabeth P. Peabody, near forty years ago, and
the work suggested by Miss Alcott, the Plum-
field School, described in Lillie JMen. An admi-
ring reader of the Records says, in a letter to
Mr. Alcott: “Nowhere have I seen the Gospels
so spiritualized, so rationalized, Platonized.
The naivete aside, it seems the product of a
company of idealists. Is it possible that com-
mon human nature in children, thrown upon its
own resources, can exhibit such intelligence, or
instinct, if you please to call it so?” The Broth-
ers Roberts have in press, for almost immediate
publication, Sea: in Education, an answer to Dr.
Clarke's famous little work, by “several emi-
ment hands,” with an introduction by Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe ; Dr. Channing's Correspondence with
Lucy Aiken, which undoubtedly will be a work
of remarkable interest to many readers; and
The Trust and The Remittance, two beautiful and
unique little love stories, told in colloquial blank
verse, by Mary Cowden Clarke. They are
quaintly dedicated to her lover husband of
eighty-five. Mr. Emerson brought these little
poems with him from England, and has read
them to many of his friends during the past win-
ter with rare pleasure and satisfaction. Roberts
Brothers have also nearly ready for publication
the long-announced new edition of Margaret
Fuller's works, in six volumes. º
Ginn Brothers have published Sermons, by
the Rev. Henry Norman Hudson. To the general
literary public Mr. Hudson is much better known
as a Shakespearian commentator, than as a
preacher of the gospel. The same qualities
and peculiarities that distinguish his criticisms
on Shakespeare are to be found, in a greater or
less degree, in these remarkable pulpit dis-
courses. In shrewdness, sharpness, and plain
speaking these sermons remind one of South,
though they are written in a more tolerant and
a more Christian spirit than the sermons of
that famous old English divine. Ginn Brothers
bave also published The Conspiracy of Catiline,
as Related by Sallust, edited and annotated by
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE. 77
T. H. and W. F. Allen ; Stewart's Elementary
Physics, with questions and exercises by Prof.
G. H. Hill ; and The CE lipus Tyrannus of Soph-
Ocles, edited, with an introduction, notes, and
full explanation of the metres, by Prof. John
W. White. This house has likewise in prepara.
tion for early publication The Poems of Virgil,
Part I, containing the Bucolics and six books
of the AEmeid; Selections from Ovid, and other
Narrative Latin Poets, including the principal
legends of Greek and Roman mythology; and
Outlines of the Comparative Grammar of Sanskrit,
Greek, and Latin, embracing in small compass
the general principles of etymology, with full
references to authorities and larger works, by
J. B. Greenough.
Little, Brown & Co. will issue in March the
first three volumes of A History of North Amer-
ican Birds, by Spencer F. Baird, Thomas M.
Brewer, and Robert Ridgway. The publishers
truly say that, in typographical execution, and
the accuracy and beauty of its illustrations, this
work surpasses anything of the kind ever pub-
lished in America. Though intended as a
popular account of the habits and character-
istics of the birds of North America, the biog-
raphies and descriptions are written with
scientific accuracy. These initial volumes con-
tain the history of the land birds, illustrated
by 593 woodcuts, and 64 plates of full life-size
illustrations of the head of each species. The
volume on the water birds will be published in
1875.
A. Williams & Co. have brought out New and
Not New, a volume of striking and impressive
religious essays upon such subjects as “God s
Will,”, “Little Things,” “Great Christian
Days,” “Sunday,”. The Christian's Views of
Death,” also “The Reward of Heaven,” etc.
Williams will also shortly publish The Seven Gray
I’ilgrims, A Personal Romance by a Subaltern of
Artillery; and Modern American Bridge Builders,
by G. Towers, with plates.
The publishing house of Shepard & Gill has
divided. Mr. Shepard goes to the new store in
Franklin street, and Mr. Gill remains at the old
stand, and will publish for Wilkie Collins, Ed-
mund Yates, Chas. Bradlaugh, Gail Hamilton,
Miss Hadermain, Geo. Cupples, author of the
Green Hand, Mrs. Cupples, and other authors
known and unknown. Among Mr. Gill’s earliest
issues will be Chas. Bradlaugh's famous Im-
peachment of the House of Brunswick, which will
be of peculiar interest to the reformer's ad-
mirers in this country. Following this will
come a brilliant society story, by Cherbuliez,
the popular French writer, entitled The Romance
of an Honest Woman. Mr. Gill has also in prep-
aration several striking novelties, prominent
among which are Dream Woman, a new work
by Wilkie Collins; and Lotos Leaves, the much-
talked of volume by the lilterateurs of the Lotos
Club. Nearly fifty prominent writers contribute
Original poems, essays, and sketches to this
work, which is to be illustrated by some of the
best artists in the country. Of Mr. Shepard's
forthcoming publications we shall speak in the
next number of the GUIDE. -
Carter & Pettee have issued Mental Medicine,
a theoretical and practical treatise on medical
‘on the Three Historic Flags and Three
psychology, by Rev. W. F. Evans, author of
Mental Cure ; and a new edition of One Year;
or, a Story of Three Homes, by Frances M.
Peard, author of Rose Garden and Thorpe Regis.
Mr. Evans says that Mental Medicine contains
information every one needs who has anything
to do in the management and care of the sick,
and will qualify every person of ordinary in-
telligence to be his own family physician.
Year is a happy combination of the novel of
manners and of sentiment, and is fully as good
as the author's better known productions.
Colby & Rich have published Bible Marvel
Workers; or, New Readings of “The Miracles,”
by Allen Putnam. The author says that his
“desire is to make a distinct presentation of
Biblical facts, accompanied by views and
thoughts resultant from them, which shall in-
dicate some actual agents and processes through
which man has been favored with super-mun-
dane revelations and manifestations.” The work,
Mr. Putnam modestly informs the reader, “is
sent forth as but a pioneer to blaze a route along
which others may perhaps be pleased to con-
struct a smoother, more substantial, and satis-
factory pathway to knowledge of some im-
mediate fountains of man's inspiration in all
ages.” Bible Marvel Workers is a curious, and
in some respects a remarkable production.
Patrick Donahoe has issued a new edition of
Paul Peppergrass's popular and diverting Irish
story of Shandy McGwire; or Tricks wipon Travel-
lers; and the Consoling Thoughts of St. Francis De
Sales, translated from the seventh French edition.
St. Francis De Sales is, as Leigh Hunt says in
one of his delightful essays, “a true godsend, a
man of men, a real quintessence of Christian
charity ; ” and this little volume, which has been
lovingly and discriminatingly gathered from his
writings, is full of wise and beautiful things,
admirably suited to times of trial and sadness.
N. D. Berry has published Bella; or the Cradle
of Liberty, by Eugenia St. John. This is a stim-
ulating and highly-wrought story of the iniquities
according to the author, attend the ,
which,
treatment of the insane in our public asylums.
Henry Hoyt has brought out Waiting Hours,
with “the hungry, and weary, and thirsty in the
wilderness,” by Anna Shipton ; “Asked of God,”
by Anna Shipton ; and Janel Dºrney, a clever-
ish and very readable tale of fisher-life in Chale
Bay, by Sarah Doudney, Miss Shipton's books
are made up of quotations from Scripture, orig-
inal verses, and little sketches and stories of the
people she comforted and consoled upon her
mission of mercy, kindness, and love. -
The New England Historic Genealogical Soci-
ety has sent out The Swedes on the Delaware, and
their Intercourse with New England, an interesting
monograph, by Frederic Kidder, with curious
heliotype fac-similes of the letters of George
Winthrop and the Swedish Governor, relating
to the expedition to discover Lake Laconia.
The work is reprinted in the January number
of The Historical Genealogical Register, which
also contains a valuable and interesting article

PHILADELPHIA, February 28, 1874.
The book of the month is the third volume
of Forster's Life of Dickens, just issued here by
J. B. Lippincott & Co. This volume finishes
the work, and is of peculiar interest to Ameri-
eans from the fact that it includes his second
visit to this country, of which he did not hesi-
tate to speak freely to his friend and biographer.
His happy faculty of concise description, and
his genius for detecting the whimsical and the
picturesque side of what he saw, makes his ac-
ootint of his short stay in New York very
arºusing. There were those who felt aggrieved
at his one-sided account of his previous visit
but that feeling has long since passed away, and
if any reader of this volume fails to find in this
portion of it an exact description of the man-
ners and customs of our people, he must re-
nember that the great novelist was not an his-
łorian. His letters to Mr. Forster are as in-
teresting as his novels, and the reader will
regret that the volume does not contain more of
them. They are evidently written with great
eare, and it is to be hoped that all his letters
will be collected and given to the world. This
volume also contains the sad story of his
domestic trials and the separation from his
wife. Mr. Forster deals with his friend loving-
ly and gently, and tells the whole story of his
life with a charming simplicity. The Lippin-
cotts have also published A Strange Story, and
The Parisians, in their excellent library edition
of Bulwer's works, known as the “Lord Lytton
Edition”; Nicholas Nickleby, in two volumes.
in their illustrated edition of Dickens' works ;
Schiller's Poems, translated by Edgar A. Bow-
ring ; Conversations of Goethe, translated by
John Oxenford ; and a little poem by Mary
Ashley Townsend, entitled The Captain's Story.
They have in press for early issue, History of
lfrench Literature, from the French of M. Dem-
oget; Public Men. and Events, from President
Monroe to President Fillmore ; and a new edi-
tion of Lieber's Civil Liberty and Self-Government,
revised by Dr. Theodore D. Woolsey.
The Life of Franklin, edited from original man-
ascripts, and from his printed correspondence
and other writings, by Hon. John Bigelow, is in
press, and will be published by the Lippincotts
this month.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers still continue to
cater to the popular taste for good novels, and
are unremitting in their efforts to supply the
demand. They have recently issued The De-
throned Heiress, by Miss Eliza A. Dupuy, which
completes their fine new edition of this author's
works; and two novels by Mrs. C. J. Newby,
Married, and Only Temper, and they have in press
Miss Dupuy's The Hidden Sin. Both of these
writers’ works are appreciated by novel readers,
and the Messrs. Peterson name them among
their most successful issues. Rees' Life of For-
rest has also been a success with the publishers,
who also publish a large photograph of the dis-
tinguished tragediari, taken from the original
picture for which he sat, at the age of forty, in
the character of Spartacus. They also publish
an excellent steel portrait, taken from the last
portrait for which Mr. Forrest sat, and which he
regarded as the best portrait of himself ever
taken.
Porter & Coates have issued a new edition of
The Comprehensive Speaker, compiled by Mr.
Henry T. Coates. This is an admirable book
of selections, adapted to the wants of schools
and lyceums. In addition to the fulness and
freshness of the selections, it is considered to
excel in the superiority of its arrangement, as
well as in containing some valuable hints on
style, gesture, and expression, with some con-
densed rules for elocution.
In connection with the subscription depart-
ment of this house, they have lately added a
new edition of Mrs. Ellet's Queens of American
Society, containing thirteen beautiful steel por-
traits, printed on fine paper, and equalling in
its mechanical excellence, any table book
ever issued. Miss Edwards' novel In the Days.
of My Youth, lately published by Porter &
Coates, is having a large sale, and is likely to
add considerably to the author's popularity in
this country.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have issued
a new revised edition of Mr. Flanders' Exposi-
tion of the Constitution of the United States, and
Easy Lessons in Natural Science, by Miss R. E.
Kremer, the author of Bible Gems. This is an
attempt to simplify science, and treats briefly
of the most important phenomena of the world.
It is illustrated and tastefully bound.
Smith, English & Co. have published for the
Reformed Church a book of prayers for the use
of families. It was first prepared several years
ago, by Rev. Dr. Samuel R. Fisher, with the
design of furnishing a simple set of forms for
those who should desire to use them. The
work has been out of print for some time, and
the author has revised this edition, and pub-
lished it to meet the present demand.
The Presbyterian Board of Publication have
issued, by order and authority of the General
Assembly, The Presbyterian Digest, a compend
of the Acts and Deliverances of the General As-
sembly of the United States, prepared by Rev.
William E. Moore, D.D.
Kay & Brother have published The Principles
of Equity, a treatise on the system of justice
administered in Courts of Chancery, and a new
edition of Wharton's Criminal Law. The latter
is a well known work. This and Bishop's
treatise on the same subject, are considered
standard books on criminal jurisprudence. For
this edition the author has made a new exami-
nation of his authorities, has re-written almost
every topic, and added about six hundred pages
of new material. Legal critics speak very highly
of the work in its revised form.

JLoNDoN J.ETTER.
loNDoN, Feb. 9th, 1874.
February being with us a month of prepar-
ation rather than execution, it is not much in
the way of new books that business is done, but
rather in new editions. Some new books have
been issued during the month, but they are not
many, and very few are important. The sudden
dissolution of Parliament has made it good for
the newspapers, and for them only, as people
are always eager for the news, and are so much
interested in it that they cannot settle quietly
down to read a book. Mr. Gladstone's coup
d’etat has furnished abundant work for future
historians, for it was, as a foreign writer cleverly
observes, very near blowing up the Constitution.
A new book of travels by Mrs. Guthrie will soon
be published, entitled “Through Russia, from
St .Petersburg to Astrakhan and the Crimea,”
and as every thing Russian is just now very
popular, it is likely to have a large sale. The
illustrations, too, are said to possess more than
ordinary merit. The publishers are Hurst &
Blackett. They also announce “Nathaniel
Vaughan, Priest and Man,” by Frederika
Macdonald, the talented author of the “Iliad
of the East ’’ ‘‘ Xavier and I,” etc. Mrs. Cahel
Holy has a new book entitled “Out of Court.”
and Mrs. Randolph has one called “Genti-
anella.” Captain Butler, author of the ‘‘ Great
Lone Land,” has in press another work, entitled
“The Wild North Land ; or, the Story of a
Winter Journey with Dogs across Northern
North Aumerica,” which will no doubt be eagerly
read by every one who remembers his former
book. The admirers of “Friends in Council "
will gladly welcome another book by the same
author. It is an historical novel, entitled
“ Ivan de Biron ; or, the Russian Court in the
Middle of the Last Century.” It is a well
written book, containing much new informa.
tion about that most interesting portion of
Russian history, for, though a novel, a great
many historical facts are introduced. “Phi-
neas Redux" is the title of a new book by
Anthony Trollope, and “The Fair Haven”
that of one by Samuel Butler, author of
• ‘Erewhonx.” “The Fair Haven” is a very
curious book, and was first published under an
alias, the author’s name being known now for
the first time. In his preface to this, the second
edition of his book, he speaks of himself “in
his true colors as the champion of Orthodoxy.”
No two critics seem to agree about it—one re-
ligious paper welcoming it as a masterly de-
fence of the Resurrection ; another, on the
other hand, recognizing in it an exquisitely
witty attack upon the same.
The Macmillans announce a work on “Fifty
Years of Greek History,” comprising the end of
the History of Herodotus and the beginning of
the History of Thucydides. The third volume
of Forster’s “Life of Charles Dickens” has just
been issued, and met with a very favorable re-
ception, being considered by many to be the
nuost interesting of the three. Dr. Wm. Smith
has just completed the first part of a French
Princip a to be complete in three parts, and it
is likely to become as popular as his Latin and
Greek courses. The Messrs. Longmans have:8
book, by Charles C. Chesney, entitled “Essays
in Modern Military Biography,” and some of
them are well worth reading. “Behind the
Scenes in Russia’’ is the name of a work by
George Carrington, B.A. It is evidently the
work of a person who had to live there agaix.8%
his will, and consequently detested the Russians
as heartily as he says he hates the Germans.
Poor Mr. Carrington tells how he learnt “twenty
words of Russian well chosen,” which he has
done his best since to try and forget. Anyone
who wishes to see how utterly miserable a mart
may make himself cannot do better than lead
this book. It is published by Bell & Sons.
“Once and for Ever” is the title of a work by
the author of “No Appeal,” while Ouida makes
her appearance again with a little story called
“Two Little Wooden Shoes.” It is a very
pleasing tale—far better than her first efforts.
A memoir of Mrs. Barbauld will shortly be pub-
lished, edited by her great-niece, Anna Letitia
Le Breton. The Queen's Chaplain has written
a “Life of Christ,” to be illustrated by Holman
Hunt and published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin.
“Waldfried: a Family History '' is the title of
the long-expected novel by Auerbäch. The
author of “Puck on Pegasus ” is engaged Gn 2
work which will comprise some of the most
attractive vers de société of the day. “The
House that Baby Built,” by the author of “The
Fight at Dame Europa's School,” is published
by Simpkin, Marshall & Co., and contains many
excellent parodies—that of Tennyson's idyllic
style being unusually clever, while a deal of
ridicule is thrown upon the novels of the day.
But the author's greatest success is when writ-
ing pathetically. Throughout the book there
is the stamp of rare talent, and it has been well
described as a poem in prose.
Under the title of “The Disciples,” Mrs. H. E.
H. King has produced a volume, which, she says,
she was commanded to write by Mazzini. Jit.
contains an account of his followers, Ruffini,
Bassi, Milano, and Nicotera, who witnessed the
struggle for liberty in 1833 and after years.
Miss Annie Carey had a happy idea when she
wrote “The Story of a Book,” which is the ex-
planation of everything connected with the
printing, binding, illustrating, etc., told in the
form of an autobiography so simply that a child
may understand it. It is published by Cassell,
Petter & Galpin. “Fables in Song” is the name
of a volume by Owen Meredith which will short-
ly be published. The Westminster Sermons, by
Rev. Charles Kingsley, is announced by Messes.
Macmillan. “On the Road to Khiva,” by Mººr.
Ker, is in the press, and is said to be a very
charming book of travels. A new satirical
paper has just been published in Dublin, called
‘‘Ireland's Eye.” It is very ably conducted,
after the style of “Vanity Fair.” Only two
numbers have as yet been published, but they
are sufficiently “smart, ” to induce one to hope
for its prosperity. “Ought we to visit her?”
and “The Wandering Heir" have both been
dramatized. “Spain and the Spaniards,” by
Ayanat Batuk, has just been published ; also
the third and fourth vols of Hepworth Dixon's
8O
THE AMERICAN BOOKS E L L E RS' G UI/O E.
“History of Two Queens,” thus completing
this important work. “Broken fonds,” by the
author of “Breezie Langton,' has also been
published. “Summer Etchings in Colorado,”
by Eliza Greatorex, has just been issued here,
and is very well received. “The Races of
Mankind,” by Dr. Brown, is to be translated
into the Magyar and Danish languages. The
dramatic works of Thomas Dekker have just
been issued, for the first time in a collected
form, in four volumes. A new serial called
“The way we live now,” by Anthony Trollope,
has just been commenced, and is to be com-
pieted in twenty monthly parts. “Points or
Suggestive Passages in the Writings of Tal-
mage" is a very well edited volume, and con-
tains striking passages in the writings of that
celebrated divine. - W. T.

CHARLES SHIRLEY BROOKS.
This distinguished journalist, novelist, and
dramatic writer died in London on the 23d
ult., at the age of fifty-nine. He was educated
for the liár and passed his examination with
honor, but his tastes were decidedly for litera-
ture, in which field he achieved a marked suc-
cess. His writings in the London Chronicle,
and his lively letters in the Illustraled News
under the title of “Nothing in the Papers,”
were warmly appreciated by the English public,
and his comedies enjoyed a high degree of
popularity at the London theatres. Of his
novels, which have given him a wider reputa-
tion, the best known are probably The Silver
('hord, which first appeared in Once a Weelc,
The Gordian Knot, Sooner or Later, and Aspen
Count. Four years ago he succeeded Mark
Lemon as editor of Punch, a position which he
held till the time of his death. Mr. Brooks was
very popular among the literary circles of Lon-
don, and his death will be deeply mourned by
many warm personal friends.
MICHELET.
A telegram from Paris, on the 10th ult, an-
nounced the death of Jules Michelet, the French
author and historian. He was born in Paris, in
1798, and in early life experienced many of the
bardships of poverty in a great city, his father
being a printer in humble circumstances. But
little is known of his private life and character,
but if we may believe his biographer, Hippolite
Castelle, he had a lively sympathy for the lower
classes, and a great regard for popular rights.
His father managed to send him to a prepara-
tory school and to the College Charlemagne,
where he made great progress, especially in his-
torical studies. In 1821, after a sharp contest
with other candidates, he obtained the Chair of
History in the College of Rollin, where he re-
mained until 1826. While here he constructed
and published a Comprehensive Table of Modern
Chronology and a Synchronical Table of Mod-
ern History, which brought him into prominent
notice. In 1838 he succeeded Daunau in the
Chair of Morals and History in the College of
France, where he remained until 1851, when the
Government became annoyed at the ultra dem-
ocratic principles contained in his lectures and
writings, and he was compelled to resign. From
this time until his death he lived in retirement
and devoted himself to literary labors. He was
a voluminous writer, and has given to the world
many valuable works, the most important of
which are The History of France, published in
sixteen volumes, from 1837 to 1867, and the
History of the French Revolution, issued from 1847
to 1853. These are his great works. His
L'Oiseau, published in 1856, and L’Insecte, which
appeared in 1857, have been very popular in
France, and his books have all received much
attention. He also contributed frequent arti-
cles to the literary periodicals. Probably his
book best known in this country is L'Amour,
which was first published in France in 1858.
STRAUSS .
David Frederich Strauss, the eminent Ger-
man theologian, whose death was announced
by a telegram from Berlin, on the 9th of Feb-
ruary, has occupied a very prominent place in
the theological controversies which have mark-
ed the present century. He was a skilful
writer and made himself famous by his Life of
Jesus, which appeared in 1835. It has been
translated into almost all the languages of
Europe, and has been read and combated by
the whole Christian world. This volume was
followed by others mostly in defence of his
position, few of which, however, have been
translated. The Old Faith and the New is his
last work of this character. It was published
here but a short time ago. His other books
are chiefly biographies and memoirs, among
which are the Life of Schubart, published in
Berlin in 1849 ; Life of Nicodemus Frischlein,
Frankfort, 1856, and Ulrich Vom Hullen, issued in
Leipsic from 1858 to 1860. Strauss was born in
Wurtemberg in 1808. Little is known of his
parentage, or of his early life. In 1830 he was
admitted to the ministry, and in 1831 became
professor at Maulbronn, a position which he
soon after resigned to resume his theological
studies at Berlin. He seems to have been
little known outside of his own circle, until the
publication of the Life of Jesus, which raised
him at once into prominence.

THE Book TRADE £onvention.
The Convention called by the “Booksellers”
Protective Union * met in the Board of Trade.
Rooms, at Cincinnati, February 12th. About
thirty-five booksellers were present, mostly
from Ohio and neighboring States, and the
Secretary reported about one hundred and fifty
letters endorsing the movement, and suggesting
methods for reform.
Mr. Abel Low, of Springfield, Ohio, called
the Convention to order, and introduced Mr.
John H. Thomas, of Dayton, who, on behalf of
the Executive Committee, made an address
setting forth the objects of the meeting, and
urging the necessity of united action. “We
are Ilot here,” said Mr. Thomas, “to make a
corner in books, and to raise their price at the
expense of the public ; nor even to keep up the
extravagant prices that some of them have
reached. The man who thinks a meeting of
booksellers can fix the price of books all over
the United States has had little experience in
bookselling, and has less knowledge of political
economy. Nor are we here as salesmen of the
publishers to make useless complaints or un-
founded statements to them. We are here to
show the public and the publishers that we un-
derstand our business, and are awake to its
faults and its needs, and to take such steps as
will remove the one and satisfy the other.”
Mr. Isaac C. Aston, of Columbus, was elected
permanent Chairman of the Convention, and
Mr. Howard L. Ross, of Hamilton, Recording
Secretary. Mr. J. W. Gunn, of Springfield,
read letters from A. D. F. Randolph & Co.,
New York; S. E. Bridgman, of Bridgman &
Childs, Northampton, Mass. ; W. F. Draper,
Andover, Mass. ; and one from Boughman,
Thomas & Co., Wilmington, Del.
Mr. Randolph's letter dwelt upon the “per-
nicious practice of underselling,” which the
writer attributed in a large degree :
First. To a fictitious retail price, and the consequent
excessive discounts to the trade.
Second. To the large number of unsuccessful or unsalable
books foréed on the market by means of such rates of dis
count, and which aſſect, more or less, the prices of all
books.
Third. To the common practice of the publishers retail-
ing their own publications at less than the retail price.
Fourth. To the semi-annual trade sãles.
Fifth. To the unwholesome competition between rival
jobbers, and, - .
Sixth. To the education of the book consumer in the
idea that when he wishes to buy a book, or take a news.
paper or magazine, he is to receive something in the way
of a bonus. The latter publishers offer him a chromo with
his subscription, and why should not the booksel er give
him a discount on the retail price of the book. This new
invention of pretending to give your purchaser or sub-
scribcr more than his money's worth also serves to teach
him that all klnds of publishing pays an enormous profit.
The remedies suggested by the writer were:
I. The discontinuance of all trade sales, and in their
place a semi-annual book fair, to be held alternately at New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cincinnati. At
this fair all publishers to be represented, and to offer, as an
inducement to purchasers, an additional discount of five to
ten per cent., according to the quantity of each book, or
the total amount purchased from the entire list.
II. A reduction in what may be termed fictitious retail
priccs, so that the discount to an ordinary dealer shall not
exceed thirty or thirty-three and one-third per cent., with
say ten per cent. additional io the jobber, who shall agree
not to sell to dealers at any greater discount than that al-
lowed by the publisher when selling directly to the dealer.
III. The discontinuance of all discounts to Sunday-
schools.
IV. That books designed expressly for professional men
be also hold at net prices, and a discount of say twenty per
cent. only be allowed to the trade, so that the retail price
may be proportionately lessened.
V. An agreement on the part of the publishers to main-
tain the retail prices of their own publications on all sales
except those made to the trade.
WI. The organization of a Board of Trade, with powers
similar to those of the school-book publishers, but composed
of dealers as well as publishers, with branches in all the
principal cities.
The letters of Mr. Draper and Mr. Bridgman
dealt mainly with the subject of discounts to
the professions, the latter showing, in a very
amusing manner, that when he had sold at va-
rious discounts, from a third to a quarter, to
the clergymen, the physicians, the lawyers, the
teachers, and his son's Schoolmates, no demand
remained, but for Medical Almanacs, and those
are given away. Mr. Draper wrote:
I sometimes feel ashamed of my calling when I publish a
theological book at a given price, knowing that I shall never
sell one within 25 per cent. of that price, and that no one
else ever will, chiefly because the bookseller who buys it at
1–3 off will—I might say must—sell it to ministers or libra-
ries, the only customers for such books, at “ministers'
prices.” There is at present no inducement to a country
bookseller to keep a good general stock of books.
The evening session was devoted mainly to
the discussion of the questions presented by
the Executive Committee, and all resolutions
relating to those points were referred to a Com-
mittee on Revision. A letter was read from
Mr. Curtis, of A. S. Barnes & Co., suggesting
the appointment of a committee to consult
with the publishers, and one from Adams, Wic-
tor & Co, endorsing the objects of the Conver-
tion. Itesolutions of thanks to the Book-
SELLERs' GUIDE and the Publishers' Weekly
were passed, and the latter journal was made
the official organ of the Union. On the 13th,
the Committee on Revision reported the fol-
lowing, which was adopted after an animated
debate : .
The American Book Trade Union, in convention assem-
bled, declares its belief that the interests of the public, the
publisher, the jobber, and the retailer alike demand re-
form from the evils that now cripple the trade. Believing
that the office of the bookseller is an important one in the
true progress of the country, and that the interests of pub-
lishers also demand a thorough, capable and effective dis-
tributing system which shall include retailers at every
place that can support a bookstore, it sees that this result
can be had only by the abandonment of the present un-
82
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
profitable and fictitious trade system, and a return to one
based on sound business principles, giving the public their
books cheaper and the dealer such fair advantages as he
who devotes his capital, ability, and time to any business
has a right to expect. It does not desire to stifle by com-
bination the competition of enterprise and ability which is
the life of trade, but seeks simply to unite the trade under
a healthful and rational system of prices and discounts,
which shall make it possible for able and useful men to re-
main in the trade, and supply to the younger generation
some incentlve to educate themselves rightly for a trade
which should offer the double opportunity of a high order
of usefulness to the community and fair pecuniary return.
Looking, therefore, to the adoption of such a policy as shall
secure the interests and prosperity of all, it respectfully
offers to the publishers—who, being few in number, cen-
tralized in position, and in other respects the heads of the
trade, are the proper parties to inaugurate the reform—the
following suggestions: -
1st. That the present system of professional discounts
should be discountenanced and abolished by all book dealers,
and no discounts from retail price be made to any persons
outside the regular trade. -
That the only exception, and that advisable as a matter
of present expediency, should be in the first introduction
and eXchange of school-books, which should be done
through the resident trade or the publisher's travelling
agent ; the time for introduction prices being limited to
thirty days.
That wholesaling live books to newspapers for premiums
is especially detrimental to the trade.
2d. That the trade sales are a leading cause of the present
demoralization, and detrimental to the interests of the
whole trade, an evil which should be remedied by publishers
declining to contribute, and by dealers generally abstaining
from buying. .
3d. That the publishers' practice of sending books by
mail upon receipt of published price is an injustice to local
dealers which can be fairly remedied by an additional charge
of 10 per cent. for postage.
4th. That to assure permanence in these reforms, the re-
tail price of books should be reduced so that the largest
discount under any circumstances could not exceed one.
third.
The following resolution, offered by Mr.
Nicholson, of Richmond, Ind., was also
adopted :
Whereas, We all recognize that underseling is the crying
evil of the book trade, and that this evil is the result of the
exorbitant retail prices of books, the large discounts made
to the trade by publishers, and the book trade sales, and
Whereas, We have, by resolution, respectfully but ear-
nestly requested publishers to lessen these prices and dis-
counts and abolish trade sales, Therefore .
Resolved, That, as retailers, jobbers, and publishers, we
pledge ourselves to use all reasonable endeavors to maintain
and protect publishers' retail prices.

prices and to lead to speculations in books among teachers.
Resolved, That the trade hails with pleasure the reforms
already introduced by the Publishers’ Board of Trade in the
sale of school-books for introduction, and hopes the day is
not far distant, both for the advantage of the trade and for

UBLISHERs' BoARD OF TRADE.
F R T
The regular quarterly meeting of the Board
of Trade was held Feb. 11th and 12th, at the
Grand Central Hotel, New York.
The Executive Committee presented a report,
with the following two resolutions, which were
adopted :
Resolved, That the house of Messrs. J. P.
Morton & Co. are hereby admitted to member-
ship in the Publishers’ Board of Trade, with
this provision and understanding, that all and
any existing contracts and obligations entered
into previous to their admission by members
of the Board may be kept in good faith, and
that Messrs. J. P. Morton & Co. are entitled
to a like privilege. Ç
Resolved, That the Arbitration Committee
take into consideration Article XXV. of the
By-Laws, and report whether it has been duly
observed in the recent action had in — by
—, and whether said article requires any
modification in order to assure its observance
both in letter and spirit.
A report, signed by Messrs. Ivison, Cowper-
thwait, and Maynard, was received from the
Arbitration Committee, with the explanation
that three members of the Arbitration Com-
mittee were interested parties, and consequently
unable to act, and that Mr. Ivison had been
requested to act with the other two. Under
By-Law XXI., a settlement not having been ef-
fected by the Committee, the matter was
brought before the Board. It was referred to
a Special Committee, appointed by the Chair,
consisting of Messrs. Wilson, Brewer, and
Collins, the parties at issue severally stating
that the decision of this Committee would be
accepted by them as final.
Mr. Curtis, from the committee appointed at
the last meeting, reported as follows:
Resolved, That school-books shall not be sold
by any member of this Board, afrer first intro-
duction, to any school, school officer, or Board
of Education, at a discount greater than 25 per
cent., except to cities and towns where bids are
publicly asked for , and the Boards supply the
school-books to the scholars. The purchaser
to pay all expenses of transportation.
Mr. Holt, from the same committee, stated
that he had signed the report because he believed
it an improvement on the present system, but
with the understanding that he should move as
an amendment, what he believed to be a still
further improvement—the substitution, in the
resolution, of twenty per cent, for twenty-five
per cent. -
Mr. Sheldon said that the subject would come
up later in another form, and moved the tabling
of the resolution. Carried.
Mr. Isaac Sheldon offered the following :
Resolved, That a Committee of Five be ap-
pointed by the President to carefully consider
our present by-laws, and suggest any amend-
ments or improvements which they may deem
desirable, with a view of reorganizing this Board
for a period of two years, from July next.
Resolved, That all members are invited to sub-
mit to this committee in writing, any changes
or additions which they may deem desirable.
Resolved, That this committee are instructed
to make a preliminary report at the meeting to-
morrow, and a matured report later, of such a
set of by-laws as may appear to them best ready
for consideration by this Board. Carried.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Wilson, A. S.
Barnes, Abner Harper, Armstrong, and R. S.
Davis. Permission was given for Mr. Harper
to serve by proxy.
Mr. Curtis moved that the committee above-
84

named consider the question of discounts, and
his committee be discharged. Carried.
At the session of February 12th, the Com-
mittee of Five appointed at the preceding session
reported as follows:
The committee appointed to suggest amend-
ments to the by-laws, with the view of re-organ-
izing the Board for a new period, respectfully
reports : ->
That the subject demands more consideration
than it is possible to bestow in the limited time
afforded them. They accordingly request more
time, and offer the following resolutions:
Resolved, 1, That the Board hold a special
meeting, April 30th, to act upon a matured re-
port which the Committee on Reorganization
will then present.
Resolved, 2, That every member of the Board
who cares to present suggestions for the con-
sideration of this committee, is earnestly re-
quested to do so in writing before the first of
March, addressing his communications to the
Secretary of the Board.
Resolved, 3, That the Chair add some repre-
sentative from Philadelphia to the present com-
mittee. - -
All of which were adopted.
Mr. Cowperthwait was added to the com-
mittee.
Mr. Sheldon moved that the Secretary be re-
quested to address circulars to all houses in the
Board, requesting their special attention to the
second and third resolutions in the report given
above.
The Committee of Three, appointed at the
preceding session, reported at follows:
The Committee to whom was referred the case
in issue between —, , and , met and
listened to the written evidence submitted to
them. Upon consideration of the same it was
found that while the facts sworn to justify a
complaint, the Committee do not feel warranted
in deciding in So grave a matter without further
evidence, and ask for power to employ a special
agent, as has been done in previous cases of
like importance, who shall visit and collect
such additional evidence bearing upon the
points in doubt as he may be able, and to
submit a final report at the next meeting of the
Board.
The powers requested were granted.
Mr. Wilson read some extracts from Western
newspapers which led him to offer the following
resolutions :
Whereas, Gentlemen holding prominent and
influential official positions in certain quarters
publicly charge that the publishers of the
country have entered into a combination, the
chief object of which is to keep up the price of
school-books, thereby enriching themselves
through unjust and extortionate charges, far.
above what a fair and reasonable profit justi-
fies; and -
Whereas, These charges are manifestly.
founded upon a misapprehension of facts as to
the prime cost of books and the profits they
yield, and are calculated, if left uncorrected, to
greatly prejudice the people at large against
publishers, and possibly seriously injure their
business ; therefore, . -
Resolved, That a Committee of Three be ap-
pointed to consider the nature and foundation of
these charges, and to prepare and publish for
general circulation by the Board and its mem-
bers, a fair and candid reply to the same, clearly
setting forth the objects of the Board of Trade
organization, and the advantages rather than
injury it is calculated to yield to the consumer
as well as the producer of school-books.
Resolved, That the Committee on Reorgani-
zation, appointed to report April 30th, consider
what reduction, if any, has taken place in the
cost of material and labor involved in manu-
facturing books since the present tariff of prices
was fixed, and whether or not any reduction
upon existing rates be practicable ; also the
wisdom and necessity of a revision and reduc-
tion of rates of discount to the trade.
Mr. Taintor moved as an amendment:
Resolved, That the Committee on Reorganiza-
tion, appointed to report April 30th, be request-
ed further to consider the advisability of adopt-
ing the plan of establishing met wholesale or
“dozen" prices, as a basis of regulating intro-
ductory prices and jobbing discounts, instead of
the present rule of fixing the retail prices, and
by publishing the extreme of retail and lowest
wholesale prices, misleading the public to form
exaggerated ideas of the profits of the publish-
ing business. Q.
Resolutions, as amended, were adopted.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Wilson, Ivison,
J. Abner Harper, J. A. Appleton, and J. H.
Butler, Jr., as the committee.
A general expression of opinion was had from
several prominent members concerning the ad-
vantages and necessities of the Board. The
opinion was unanimous that the organization
had made the school-book publishing business
pleasanter, more profitable to publishers, and
more economical to consumers, and that the
Board should be reorganized with such features
as experience justifies.
The Board adjourned to April 30th, 1874.

Chemical, Physiological, and Medical aspects.
2. The Historical, Statistical, Economical, and
Political. 3. The Social, Educational and Re-
ligious. The fund at present at command en-
ables the Committee to announce prizes for the
Scientſiic work, viz.: For the best essay, ad-
judged satisfactory, the sum of $500; for the
second best essay, the sum of $300. Accepted
manuscripts to become the property of the Na-
tional Temperance Society. -
The offers for the Scientific essay will remain
open to all competitors till January 1, 1875.
Manuscripts (with the names and addresses of
the writers by whom they are forwarded for com-
petition enclosed in separate, sealed envelopes,
lmot to be opened till after the award has been
made) may be forwarded to A. M. Powell, 58
Reade street, New York.
The essay is to be of such a character that,
while adapted in style to interest a non-profes-
sional reader, it will meet the demands of schol-
arly criticism. The treatise that best covers
the ground in the least compass is desirable,
It should not extend beyond 300 pages of print.

Elizabeth P. Peabody writes to the Boston

was the original of “Hilda,” in Hawthorne's

conversation with my brother-in-law on the
subject, that neither of the women in the Marble
Fawn were portraits, and that Mr. Hawthorne
never drew portraits in his novels, not being
intent on character-drawing, but only upon il-
lustration of great spiritual laws, as both Mr.
Edwin Whipple and the Rev. Mr. Mayo have
Suggested in reviews of him, of which I heard
Mr. Hawthorne speak, saying that they had
discovered his secret.”
Celia Burleigh writes: “I know the name of

The author of the Saxe Holm stories is not H.
H , is not a man, is not two or three people.
Saxe Holm is an unmarried and still young
woman, living in an inland town in the State of
New York. No heroine whom she describes in
her stories is more heroic than she has shown
herself in meeting the trials and hardships of
real life. She shrinks from publicity, and has
hidden her identity under a variety of mommes
de plume.”
It is a very common thing for book agents to

him their wares at a reduced price, or even gra-

against such dealings, and that of a very prac-

lific humorist and poet of the days of George

Mr. Furnivall, in a recent letter to the Acad-
emy, London, says Shakspere spelled his name
thus because he did not know how to spell it
. . correctly. All the existing autographs, the gen-
uineness of which is undisputed (five in num-
ber), are in this form. -
A Danish translation of Walt Whitman's little
book, Democratic Vistas, has recently been pub-
lished in very handsome style at Copenhagen.

The business agent of Miss Braddon and of
Mr. Wilkie Collins has recently made arrange-
ments for the publication of works by these two
writers in Holland, Russia, and Sweden, and in
the language of these nations, upon terms which
recognize the interests of the authors. For in-
stance, Lucius Davoren is to be prlnted in the
German language, and £100 has been accepted
for the copyright ; in the Russian language for
#45, in the Swedish language for £30, in the
Dutch language for £25, and in the Italian lan-
guage for £10. John Jago's Ghost, a short story.
written by Mr. Wilkie Collins in the Home Jour-
mal, is to be published in German, and £65 is to
be given for the copyright; in Swedish for £10,
in Russian for £15, in Italian for £5, and in
, Dutch for £5. -
The Printing Times, London, is advocating a
“twenty-four hours copyright ' law for news-
papers. - r
John Banvard, the author and traveller, is
writing the Private Life of a King (George IV.
of England), which will contain much that has
never been published, based upon papers of un-
doubted authenticity. It is said to be anything
but flittering to “the first gentleman in Eu-
rope.”
An exhaustive work on The Russian Power
is announced in England from the pen of Mr.
Ashton Wentworth Dilke, who has spent be-
tween two and three years in Russian Central
Asia, the Caucasus, Siberia, and European
Russia. It will be illustrated by maps and
plates.
Count de Paris will shortly appear before the
world as an author. We understand that he
has for some time been engaged in Writing an
account of the American Civil War. It is ex-
pected that the work will be published at an
early date, and will be illustrated with suitable
maps and diagrams.

original and selected.
The College Cowrant, New Haven, Conn., is
publisbing Henry Ward Beecher's third course
of lectures before the students of the Yale The-

lectures are reported in full by Mr. T. J. Ellen-
wood, who has reported Mr. Beecher's sermons
for many years, and are revised by the distin-
guished lecturer himself. The columns of The
Courant are filled with contributions from our
ablest men of science and literature.
The St. Chrysostom s Magazine, which was
originally started by the clergy of St. Chrysos-
tom's Chapel, Trinity Parish, New York, as a

monthly. It is edited by eminent clergymen,

Scription price was raised, on the first of this

paring for the junction of the American and
French armies for the memorable campaign

the close of the struggle. These will be fully
annotated by the editor, and published in suc-
cessive numbers of the Record.

Music Notes.
The list of music books published by Wm.
E. Millet & Son, New York, are among the best.
Especially worthy of mention are their Twenty-
four Operatic Melodies, and Twenty-four Popular
Dances, both for violin and piano, also the col-
lection of Little Songs for Little Players in their
series of “ Household Music.”
One of the most successful music books ever
published is Richardson's New Method for the
Pianoforte. The publishers, Ditson & Co..
claim for it a sale of twenty-five thousand
copies annually. They have recently issued a
new edition, containing “Schumann's Maxims ”
and “Czerny's Letters on the Art of Playing
the Piano "
Anson D. F. Randolph & Co. will soon pub-
lish a new hymn and tune book, for public and
social worship, entitled Hymns and Songs of
Praise. Edited by the Rev. Drs. Roswell D.
Hitchcock, Zachary Eddy, and Philip Schaff.
The book will contain over 1,400 hymns, in
which all ages and communions are repre-
sented.
Biglow & Main, of this city, recognizing the
den)and for anthems or set pieces for Easter
and Christmas, have commenced the publica-
tion of an “Anthem Serial.” Number one,
just issued, is in convenient pamphlet form, and
contains five anthems, written expressly for
Lenten and Easter services. They possess
much merit, and are well arranged for chorus
and quartette choirs.
Boosey & Co., London and New York, pub-
lish cheap editions of Schuman's works, com-
prising Seventy-five Songs, with German and
English words; Twenty-two Short Pieces; The
First Album for Youth ; The Second Album; and -
The Third Album. Boosey & Co. are also the
publishers of Hatton's Songs of England; The
Songs of Scotland; The Songs of Wales, edited
by Brinley Richards, and containing English
and Welsh words; and The Songs of Ireland ;
the four volumes comprising the most complete
collection of the popular airs of Great Britain
and Ireland ever made. They contain the
most celebrated of the old songs, with the orig-
inal words, and many others now for the first
time published. .
Very few people have an idea of the enor-
mous sales of the little singing books which
are made for Sunday Schools. Pure Gold,
which is only four years old, has sold to the ex-
tent of nearly a million copies ; the sales of the
Gulden Chaim, Golden Shower, and Golden Censor,
have reached in the aggregate upwards of three
millions; of Fresh Laurels, first published
seven years ago, eleven hundred thousand have
been sold, and the Royal Diadem, issued within
a year, has already reached a quarter of a mil-
lion.
Longfellow's Aftermath has been set to music
by Mr. F. Boott, and is published by Ditson &
Co. The composer seems to have caught the
spirit of the poet, and the somewhat mournful
memories suggested by the first lines are well
rendered. This composer has also set to music
the simple and touching story of Guild, the En-
gineer, a pleasing composition, and not difficult,
published by the same house.
White, Smith & Co., of Boston, have pub-
lished the Ashes of Roses Waltzes and the En-
chantment Walse de Concert, which will com-
mend themselves to all lovers of good music ;
a pretty little ballad by C. A. White, entitled
Mother, Fold Me in Your Arms, and Scherzo, for
the Piano, by G. D. Wilson, a fascinating com-
position full of surprises. The publishers have
enlarged their music journal, the Folio, to forty
pages. -
The list of new music from Louis Meyer,
Philadelphia, includes works from the most
talented composers, which are all worthy of
notice. This publisher is doing much to popu-
larize classical music, and whatever he offers to
the public, whether it be for the beginner or
the professional player, it is always of the best.
Of vocal music we may mention the list of
“New Songs” by Julian Monez, comprising
“My Darling is Gone,” a touching cradle song;
“Thy Name,” a beautiful melody, with an
effective but simple accompaniment, and others
equally as good.

in detail, and the volume will prove of great
utility to our business men and tourists.

STERESCOPIC VIEws OF NATURAL HISTORY. —
The American News Company are the exclu-
sive agents for the sale of a series of new
Stereoscopic Views of Natural History, which
are not only handsome works of art, but are val-
uable as studies from nature. The views are
taken from stuffed animals and birds, arranged
and mounted expressly for this purposéſ by Mr.
James A. Hurst, for many years Taxidermist of
the New York State Cabinet of Natural History,
and they represent, with remarkable fidelity,
the habits and surroundings of the subjects.
Indeed, it is somewhat difficult to be convinced
that they are not taken from living specimens
and from natural scenery. They are published
in two series, the first representing the birds and
animals of North America, the second, those of
foreign countries. Each view is accompanied
with a full description of the specimens, with
references to the works of DeKay and Audubon
which treat of them. The student of Natural
History will find them of great service. They
are also suitable for object teaching and for
home entertainment.
REPP PAPER.—This is a new and handsome
style, just introduced by the American News
Company. It is finely ribbed so as to present
a rough surface, and is of different tints–Rose,
Green, Amber and Violet. It is manufactured
in two sizes, octavo note and commercial note,
for which there are envelopes to match. Both
paper and envelopes are very neat, and wiłł
become popular.

business of the month, there has been no special activity. -

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE. 99
THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY's
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
The Managers of The American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no dis-
appointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reference;
therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making remittances,
always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by mail is at risis
of parties sending. 4th. –The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for packing or carting
in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th. –Small orders receive the
same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th. – We do not send New Papers and Magazines on sale to those
who specially order us not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, whless they order us not to do so. . We
believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as published to booksellers, unless specially
ordered to the contrary. 8th.-Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to customers free upon application. 9th.-Let-
ters, with full signature and address, should be enclosed with all remittances. 10th.—We enclose bill daily to costumero,
having parcels by Express, to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-Newsdealers pay the Postage on their Packages of
Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rates of postage as if paid quarterly in advance.
POSTAGE TO NEWSEDEALEIRs. .
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. PAPER COWERED NOVELS, same rates as Magazines.
MAGAZINES, Two Cents for every Four Ounces. BOUND BOOKS, Two Cents for every Two Ounces. -
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited with
what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly subscrip-
tions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in advance. Upon.
, finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (enclosing the wholesale price per this list, to-
cover one week’s papers) similar to this form:

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCII OF DR. X. Bou Roi EOIs,
By HOWARD F, DAMON, A. M., M.D,
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
[It is a work which has come none tou soon, and can have
a circulation equally among the young and middle-aged
none too wide—for it treats in a judicious way topics of
primal importance, not only to the inexperienced, but to
those löng in the married state.—The Commonwealth )
[Its spirit is eminently good, and its statements are worth
pondering.—Boston Jowrmal.]
[Married women can read it with profit. The subject is
one on which there is great need of light.—Moore's Rural
New Yorker.]
[The author sets forth the beauties of true love—not pas.
sion. He thinks marriage the only true consummation of
love—the only safeguard to Society and health.—Rutland
Daily Globe.]
[It is free from sensationalism, and is a work to be com-
mended.—Lowell Daily Courier J
[A careful examination of the book will satisfy the reflect-
ing reader that the author treats this most serious and
difficult topic with great professional ability, and with a
clearness and propriety of diction, and a cogency of argu-
ment that cannot fail to be productive of much good.—
Boston Daily Globe.]
[A very judicious treatment of a very delicate topic. It
is full of information, deals practically with physical and
social sins, shows their results upon the system, and is a
powerful medical plea for virtue and social morality.—
Providence Evening Press.] -

AND §
P A R L OR E N T E R T A 1 N M E N T s.
We are now prepared to issue the first nnmbers of the first series of Animals and Birds of North America ; these we
propose to continue, and to add to them a second series of foreign specimens, and a third of various Animals and Birds
in grotesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natural instincts.
We offer these views not as pictures only, but as studies from nature. One of the great moving elements in our modern
system of education is object teaching. The uDerring fidelity of the stereoscope transfers the Animals and Birds from
their natural habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a lasting
impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of each specimen. -
An experience of more than twenty-five years as Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Natural History, and
in gathering our large collection of native and foreign specimens, enables us to represent the results of our own work, and
to combine in every view the locality of the specimen with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and coloring from the
originals. Back numbers and parts of sets always on hand.

THE LIFE OF EDWIN FORREST, WITH REMINISCENCES AND PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF THE GREAT
AMERICAN TRAGEDIAN, by JAMES REES (Colley Cibber), is just published in book form, by T. B. Peterson & Brothers,
No. 306 Chestnut Street, Plliladelphia. No man in the Country, perhaps, was as well fitted for writing the Life of Mr.
Forrest as Mr. Rees. His acquaintance with Mr. Forrest dated from boyhood, and Mr. Rees had enjoyed for a period of
nearly fifty years the closest intimacy and friendship with Mr. Forrest, which gave Mr. Rees advantages, not possessed
by any others, to write a correct and truthful history of the great actor, from the time of his birth until his death. On
aimost every oceasion when Mr. Forrest was called upon for a sketch of bis life to accolmpany any work, play, or book
of the drama, he invariably referred to Mr. Rees, “as being,” he said, “better acquainted with his early life, and
remembering incidents about him much better than he did himself.” In the latter part of Mr. Forrest's life, Mr. Rees
was his constant companion, and no one, perhaps, bad as many advantages to become acquainted with Mr. Forrest's
professional career, or with the various pūases of his character in private life, as Mr. Rees. These advantages were the
result of the confidence Mr. Forrest placed in Mr. Roes. When Mr. Forrest was absent from the city, he intrusted his
house, his library, his picture gallery, and all their valuable convents, to the charge of Mr. Rees, with money to defray
all the current househoid and other necessary expenses. Mr. Rees had the sole use of Mr. Forrest’s library during his
absence, and the privilege of introducing his friends to view both it and the picture gallery. All can thus understand
the personal relationship which existed between the subject of this work and its author, and also the motive he had in
its composition—a tribute to the memory of one with whose name a nation is so familiar. It is published in one large
duodecimo volume of over Five Hundred pages, and is printed from new type on the finest white paper. Every copy of
the work contains a portrait of Edwin Forrest, engraved on Steel, in line and stipple, in the finest style of the engraver's
art, from the last plcture for which Mr. Forrest sat, and which he pronounced to be the best likeness ever taken of him-
self, as well as a fac-simile of his Autograph, his Last, Will in Full, and Charter of the “Edwin Forrest Home,” which
he endowed. The work is bound in morocco cloth, gilt back, and is sold at the low price of Two Dollars a Copy.
fºr Any wide-awake Canvasser can malce from $10 to $15 a day
selling “Colley Cibber’s Life of Edwin. Forrest.”

THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY, New York.
NEw Yorº, Feb. 1st, 1874.
Business during the month has been light,
but steady. A number of good books are stili
held back, their publishers waiting for a brisker
trade, which they think is sure to come. Wheth-
er they are right or not, time alone can prove,
but we venture the prediction that the spring
months will not bring any great activity to the
trade. The trade which used to come at certain
seasons is now distributed through the year,
and, as their facilities for ordering are increased,
there is less and less disposition on the part of
the bookseller to stock up. Of course there are
many books which have their seasonable times,
When they will meet a greater share of success
than if they were issued at other times in the
year, but as Ohristmas is really the only season
for which any great number of books are pre-
pared, it will in the future be the only season
to be depended on for a lively demand.
Some of the most interesting and valuable
books of the day are biographies and the Auto-
biography of Dr. Guthrie just issued by the Car-
ters is entitled to a place among the best. Dr.
Guthrie was a true Scotchman, and was inti-
mately connected with the history of his coun-
try during the first half of the present century.
This story of his life is told with 2ll the honesty
and straightforwardness which characterized his
life and made him so popular. The book is full
of anecdotes and reminiscences which not only
make delightful reading, but are valuable here
as giving an insight into the life of the people
for whom he labored. Indeed, he seems to like
better to talk of others than of himself. It is
probably because he was more interested in the
Welfare of others than his own, that he never
finished, an account of his life. The present
Yolume is autobiographical and brings his life
down to 1843. The second volume is now being
Written by his sons. The Carters have also
reprinted several excellent religious works, in-
cluding The Word of Life, a collection of ser-
mons and selections by Charles J. Brown, D.D.,
of Edinburgh ; The Relations of the Kingdom to
the World, by J. Oswald Dykes, D.D., author of
The Beatiludes; and a devout work on the
Christ of God, by Horatius Bonar, D.D.
E. P. Dutton & Co. have published another
book from the pleasing author of Mrs. Main-
waring's Journal, entitled A Lily Among Thorns.
Those who like fiction which is wholesome and
free from excitement, yet entertaining, will be
as pleased with this book as with the Journal.
Dutton & Co. have also issued Baptism Tested
by Scripture, by Rev. Dr. William Hodges; and
A Day with Christ, by Rev. Samuel Cox, in
which the author devoutly dwells on the life of
Jesus and his daily labors. We should not
pass over these books without mentioning their
very pretty bindings. The latter book espe-
cially, with its red letter title-page, and its
unique and handsome yet appropriate devices
in gold on side and back, is a model of ele-
gance.
D. Appleton & Co. have published in a hand-
some large folio volume Descriptive Sociology, or
Groups of Sociological Facts, classified and ar-
ranged by Herbert Spencer; The New Chemistry,
by Prof. Josiah P. Cooke, Jr., of Harvard Uni-
versity; a revised edition of A Dictionary of
Roman and Greek Antiquities, with nearly two
thousand wood engravings, from ancient orig-
inals, illustrative of the industrial arts and
Social life of the Greeks find Romans ; and Man
and Apes, by St. George Mivart. Cooke's
Chemistry forms the sixth volume of the “Inter-
national Science Series,” in which also the pub-
lishers include Spencer's Sociology. The latter
book is a very valuable one to the student, con-
taining a vast amount of tabulated matter, and
is the most important compilation of the kind
ever made. E. B. Tyler, in Nature, says of it:
“So much information, encumbered with so
little rubbish, has never before been brought to
bear on the development of English institu-
tions. There is hardly a living student but
will gain something by looking through the
compilation which relates to his more special
subject, whether this be love or morals, educa-
tion or theology, the division of labor, or the
rise of modern scientific ideas.” Mivart's Man
and Apes is profusely illustrated, and will com-
mend itself to all who are interested in the
Darwinian Theory. It treats of the structural
resemblances and differences bearing upon
questions of affinity and origin.
Harper & Brothers have added The Moonstone
to their Illustrated Library Edition of Wilkie
Collins' works, and have published in paper
38
THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
Wm. Black's A Princess of Thule, and Anthony
Trollope's Harry Heathcote of Gangoil. They
will issue in February Pet, or Paslimes and
Penalties, a capital book for children ; Frank
Wincent's Land of the White Elephant; Sights
and Scenes in Southeastern Asia, with map
and illustrations; and the Evangelical Al-
liance, 1873, which will include the addresses
delivered at the Conference of the Alliance, last
fall, edited by Rev. Dr. William Schaff, and a
history of the General Conference, by the Rev.
S. Irenaeus Prime.
... From Macmillan & Co. we have Solar Physics,
by J. Norman Lockyer, comprising the papers
the author has communicated at various times
to the Royal Society, and a number of lectures
and papers contributed to the magazines.
Though the papers are somewhat disconnected,
each is a valuable contribution to scientific
knowledge, and they have lever before been
published together. That portion of the book
devoted to the spectroscope and the remarkable
discoveries made by its use, is especially inter-
esting, as are also the accounts and results of the
several eclipse expeditions. The volume is
splendidly bound, and illustrated with wood
engravings and colored plates. The same house
have given us Storm Warriors; Or, Life-Boat
Work on the Goodwin Sands; a series of thrilling
narratives of shipwrecks, mostly told by the
life-boat men to the author, Rev. John Gilmore,
of Ramsgate, England. The book will serve a
good purpose—and ought to be widely read. Its
readers will find that truth is indeed stranger
than fiction. From Macmillan we also have
Drummond of Hawthornden, by David Masson,
H.L. D.; and Sia: Weeks in the Saddle, by S. E.
Waller. The subject of Prof. Masson's book is
but vaguely known even among literary people,
as a Scottish poet, who lived in the latter part
of the sixteenth and the beginning of the sev-
enteenth centuries; but as he was probably the
most prominent Scottish writer of that interest-
ing period, in the eyents of which he took a
prominent part, Mr. Masson has rendered a
service in rescuing his life from oblivion. Mr.
Waller, the author of Sia: Weeks in the Saddle, is
a young man who is rapidly winning his way
into public favor, and with pencil and pen has
succeeded in giving a very entertaining book.
There is a peculiar charm about a book of
travels illustrated by the author and traveller
himself, and when the illustrations are accom-
panied by lively descriptions of amusing adven-
§ures in a country of which we know little or
nothing, the book cannot fail to be readable.
The “six weeks” were spént in Iceland, where
Mr. Waller went to sketch the scenery.
Pott, Young & Co. have issued The Communi-
eant's Guide, by Rev. R. Whittingham, of St.
John's Church, New Haven, which, they an-
nounce, is published by request of the Bishop
of Connecticut ; The Church Almanac for 1874,
containing much useful information ; and The
Gospel of the Childhood, by Edward M. Goul-
bourn, D. D.. an excellent little work, written
for children, in a style more attractive than that
usually found in such books, and treating of
the events in the childhood of Christ. These
publishers have also issued the first volume of
Institution, Glasgow.
a new and cheaper edition of Robertson's His-
tory of the Christian Church. The work is to be
issued in eight 12mo volumes, one every three
months.
T. Whittaker has published The Bishop and
Nannette, by Mrs. F. Burge Smith, a story con-
sisting principally of a conversation between a
bishop and his little granddaughter, upon re-
ligious and ecclesiastical subjects, and contain-
ing much information about the history of the
English prayer-book ; A Manual of Instruction
on the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels, for Sunday-
schools; and a religious book for young men,
entitled Life, by Cunningham Geikie, D. D.,
with an introduction by Dr. S. H. Tyng, Jr.
This latter book is a reprint of the fourth edi-
tion, but we believe it is new in this country.
At all events, it is an excellent book to put into
the hands of any young man, treating of such
practical subjects, as “Companions,” “Helps,”
“Reading,” etc.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have published a book
which will interest yachtsmen, entitled, The
America Cup. It is written by Mr. Hamilton
Morton, and recounts in verse the history of
the races between the yachts Livonia and the
Columbia and the Sappho. It is illustrated
and handsomely bound. The Putnams have
in preparation an important work on the Iron
Ores of Missouri and Michigan, by gentlemen
connected with the State surveys. It will be a
large octavo, with illustrations, and accompa-
nied by a topographical atlas.
J. W. Schermerhorn & Co. have published
The Oriental: A Collection of Eastern Melodies,
Ancient and Traditional, now first arranged for
Christian Service, by Dr. Wm. J. Wetmore ;
and How to Teach, a manual of methods for a
graded course of instruction, by Henry Kiddle,
A. M., Thomas F. Harrison and N. A. Calkins,
Superintendents of Public Instruction in this
city. This is a book for the use of teachers,
who will find in it many valuable suggestions.
Although prepared for a graded course, it will
be found useful in any school.
Henry Holt & Co. have brought out in their
“Leisure Bour Series.” Mrs. Alexander's Which
Shall it Be 2 also a cheap edition in paper. The
Wooing O't, by the same author, which was
published last summer, was one of the most
successful novels of the series, and this is, with-
out doubt, equally as good a story.
D. Wan Nostrand has published two very ex-
cellent treatises of their class, Surcharged and
Different Forms of Retaining Walls, by James S.
Tate, a practical engineer ; and, The Designing
and Construction of Storage Reservoirs, by Mr.
Arthur Jacob, a man of large practical experi-
ence and late Executive Engineer for Irrigation
in the Bombay service of the British Govern-
ment.
John Wiley & Son have issued the Elementary
Course of Permanent Fortification for the use of
the cadets of the U. S. Military Academy, re-
vised and edited by Col. I. B. Wheeler of West .
Point, and containing large folding plates; and,
Quantitative Chemical Analysis, with wood en-
gravings and complete index, by T. E. Thorpe,
Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry in the Anderson

Sheldon & Co. have published The Wetherel
Affair, by J. W. De Forest, a novel of much
merit, full of plot and incident, as well as
pathos and humor. Mr. De Forest is entitled
...to a place in the foremost rank of our American
novelists. His books are written with con-
scientious care, and are pervaded by a whole-
some morality. His former novels, Kate Beau-
mont, Overland, and Miss Ravenel, have been
widely read, and will, no doubt, insure a favor-
able reception for his last book. Sheldon will
soon bring out a cheap edition of Heaven in
Song, which formed one of their holiday pub-
lications, which will put it within the means of
those who cannot afford to pay for the costly
binding. Ex-Secretary Welles' book on Lincoln
and Seward, so long looked for, is in the hands
of the printer and will soon be given to the
public. Although it embraces the papers pub-
lished in The Galaay, they occupy but a small
portion of the book. These publishers will
issue a number of good books during the
spring, among which are General Custer's Life
on the Plains, which the author has not yet
completed; and a woman's rights novel by Lillie
IDeverewa: Blake.
Scribner, Welford & Armstrong have brought
out Sir Walter Scott's The Pirate, in the
“Pocket Edition of the Waverley Novels;”
Schiller's Poems, translated by E. A. Bowring,
and Conversations of Goethe with Eckermann,
translated by John Oxenford ; Introduction to the
Study of Gothic Architecture, by John Henry
Parker, a handsome book containing nearly
two hundred illustrations ; Mrs. Gaskell's Lizzie
Leigh and Other Tales, in the new Illustrated
Edition, comprising seven volumes, of this
author's works; and The Swiss Family Robin-
son, in the series known as the “Chandos
Classics.” . -
BosTon, February 1, 1874.
The book trade of Boston for the new year
opened quite promisingly. There was a con-
siderably better demand for miscellaneous
books last month than is usual in January,
which is generally a dull month in the best of
times.
Lee & Shepard have published The Ancient
City, a study on the religion, laws, and institu-
tions of Greece and Rome, translated from the
French of Fustel de Coulanges, by Willard
Small ; and Mrs. Armington’s Ward, or the In-
ferior Sea, by D. Thew Wright. De Coulanges
is undoubtedly the best read man in France in
the history and literature of Greece and Rome
His Ancient City is what the poet Gray would
have called “a dish of very choice erudition.”
Like Gibbon's Decline and Fall, it is “one of
the conveniences of civilization.” Perhaps one
might say that Coulanges has discovered an-
sient Greece and Rome. His account of
Greek and Roman society is almost a revela-
tion. Scholars and students will appreciate
, this matter-full work, which Mr. Small has so
admirably translated. The author or translator
should have given an index to the Ancient City.
Mrs. Armington's Ward is a tolerably clever and
amusing American novel, in which the woman
question is agitated. Lee & Shepard have in
press, for early publication, Running the Block-
ade, by W. H. Thomes, the American Mun-
chausen ; Prophetic Voices Concerning America,
by Charles Sumner ; and a new novel by Kath-
arine Sedgwick Washburn. The Cast Catalogue
of Antique Scw'pture, which was to have been
issued in January, was destroyed at the burn-
ing of Fleming's bookbindery. The other pub-
lications of Lee & Shepard consumed at this
fire were Sumner's works, Underwood's Band-
Books of English and American Literature, Part-
inglonian Patchwork, Optic's books, and some of
Miss Sophie May's charming little “Juveniles.”
There was an insurance on these works and Lee
& Shepard's loss is small. •
Roberts. Brothers have published Personal
Recollections of Mary Somerville, edited by her
daughter; and Satan, a Libretto, by Christopher
Pearse Cranch. After reading Mrs. Somer-
ville's autobiography, one cordially agrees with
Mr. Howells, that autobiography is the most
delightful kind of writing there is. Few novels
are half so charming as this learned woman's
simple and truthful account of her long and
beautiful life. Particularly good is her picture
of the manners and customs in Scotland in the
last century, and almost as good is what she
says of her residence in Hanover square, Lon-
don. The brief but discriminating notices of
her eminent friends and contemporaries are
excellent, and add much to the interest and
value of the book. The first edition of this
work was sold in three days, and the public
still continue to cry for “more.” Mr. Cranch
is a man of fine poetical taste, and in Satan
he attempts a lofty flight, but does not reach
the stars. Mr. Bronson Alcott's long-an- .
nounced Records of a School will be issued in a
few days by Roberts Brothers, who will also
publish in February Miss Frothingham's trans-
lation of Lessing's Laocoon and Thorpe Regis,
a new novel by Miss Frances M. Peard, author of
those fresh and beautiful little stories, Rose
Garden and Unawares. In 1873, Roberts Bro-
thers published twenty-nine books. Nearly
all of them were excellent in their kind, and
met with a ready sale. . . *
James R. Osgood & Co. have brought out vol-
ume one of Problems of Life and Mind, The
Foundations of a Creed, by George Henry Lewes,
author of Biographical History of Philosophy, etc.
Mr. Lewes is a brilliant writer and a subtle rea-
soner, with stores of speculative knowledge;
but he generally attempts too much. In this
volume, however, he is quite modest. His aim
is only to revolutionize metaphysics—only to
solve some of the greatest and most difficult
problems in philosophy and in morals. He
truly says that “the great desire of this age is
for a doctrine which may serve to condense our
knowledge, guide our researches, and shape our
lives, so that conduct may really be the conse-
quence of belief.” To those who admire his
reasoning and agree with his conclusions, the
Problems of Life and Mind, volume one, will be
a mighty big book. Even readers who do not
like Lewes' theory or philosophy must, one would
think, admire the strength and beauty of his
style, and the many thoughtful and suggestive
passages scattered up and down his pages.
THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS GUIDE.
Among the new books and new editions in
press by Osgood & Co., for early publication,
are Parton's Life of Jefferson, with a new chap-
ter on Jefferson’s childhood, and considerable
other new matter; Life and Works of Mrs. Bar-
bauld, edited and compiled by Mrs. Grace Ellis;
a new edition of Euthanasy; or, Happy Talks
Toward the End of Life, by William Mountford,
a wise and beautiful book that has been too long
out of print ; a new, revised, and enlarged edi-
tion of Drake's Dictionary of American Biogra-
phy, which will, no doubt, be as complete and
Satisfactory as it is possible for a work of the
kind; Zelda's Fortune, a novel, by the author of
Earl's Deane; Young Brown, by Granville Mur-
ray, author of The Member for Paris; Captain
Plateras, by Jules Werne ; and Gunnar, a Norse
Romance, by H. H. Boyesen. Osgood & Co. also
announce Jules Werne's new work, The Myste-
rious Island, a Robinson Crusoe story; and Far
from the Madding Crowd, the delightful new
novel now publishing in the Cornhill Magazine,
and evidently by some new genius, “breaking
out at once like the Irish Rebellion, a hundred
thousand strong " This house will likewise pub-
lish The Life of Professor Agassiz, by Mrs. Agas-
siz. The work has been in hand for years, and
is nearly ready for the press. They published,
during the year 1873, nearly eighty volumes,
including new works by such eminent American
authors as Longfellow, Whittier, Howells, Hig-
ginson, Trowbridge, Mrs. Stowe, Bayard Taylor,
Mrs. Whitney, and T. B. Aldrich ; and works
by such eminent English writers as Thomas
Hughes, W. R. Grey, George H. Lewes, Charles
Reade, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold,
Henry Blackburn, and Walter Savage Landor.
Estes & Lauriat have published Memories of
Westminster Hall, with an historical introduc-
tion by Edward Foss, F. R. S., in two vol-
umes, with illustrations; Adventures of an At-
torney in Search of Practice, by Sir George Ste-
phen ; and part two of Packard's Half Hours
with Insects. Readers of English history will
gladly welcome this collection of incidents, an-
ecdotes, and historical sketches, relating to
“the great hall of William Rufus,” which Mac-
aulay described so eloquently in his famous
essay on Warren Hastings. The Adventures ºf
an Attorney was originally published in 1839,
and was a popular work in its day. It was re-
printed in Chicago a year or two since, and had
quite a large sale.
all attorneys who want a client,” and the pub-
lishers might confidently recommend it to all
readers who care to learn something about the
professional life of a second or third rate lawyer.
In the new number of Balf Hours with Insects,
Prof. Packard writes of the “Saw Fly,” native
and imported, and of many other “intelligent
and industrious” pests of the garden. Estes &
Lauriat have nearly ready for publication Dis-
crepancies of the Bible, by J. A. Hadley, of An-
dover, with an introduction by Dr. Alvah Ho-
vey, of Newton Theological Seminary ; What
... Young People Should. Know, a popular exposition
of the anatomy, physiology, and hygiene of the
human sexual organs, by Prof. Burt G. Wilder,
of Cornell University; and a Hand-Book of My-
thology for Students and General Readers.
The book is dedicated “to
Little, Brown & Co. are to be the American
publishers of the new English edition of Lord
Campbell's Lives of the Chief Justices of England,
from the Norman Conquest to the death of Lord
Tenterden, in four volumes. The first and .
second volumes are to be issued immediately.
L. B. & Co. are also the American publishers
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. . An entirely
new edition of this invaluable work is in course
of preparation. They likewise have for sale the
best English edition of Dickens's works, which
they “import in quantities.” This impression
of Dickens contains several short sketches and
stories not included in any American edition of
his writings.
The Universalist Publishing House has
brought out Our New Departure, or the Methods
and Work of the Universalist Church of America,
as it Enters on its Second Century, by Elbridge
George Brooks. For nearly forty years Dr.
Brooks has been not only an observer, but a
student of Universalist.denominational life—its
condition, hinderances, needs, prospects. He
has watched events, and traced effects to causes.
These pages record his conclusions. They are,
he thinks, in the main, impregnable. As such,
it is the author's profound conviction, they are
what Universalists need solemnly to ponder.
They indicate, he is satisfied, alike the expla-
nations to be considered, so far as the Univer-
salists have failed to witness the practical reli-
gious results they had a right to expect, and
the conditions upon which alone any vitalizing
and saving influence is possible for them. The
work is written with considerable vigor, and
will not only interest Universalists, but most
lovers of liberal theological speculations.
Loring has published Which Shall it Be, a
capital new novel which “ends as it ought,” by
Mrs. Alexander, author of The Wooing O't, and
Shepard & Gill have sent out The Dead Alive, a
brief sensational story by Wilkie Collins, hav-
ing some of the vividness and power of the au-
thor's best works. The plot is, as Pepys would
say, “mighty ingenious.”
Hazlitt says that on happening to suggest a
new translation of Don Quixote to an enterpris-
ing bookseller, he answered, “we want new
I}on Quiacotes.” We have one at last—The New
Don Quizole, or the Wonderful Adventures of Tar-
tarian of Tarascon, translated from the French
by C. Roland, and published by Horace B. Fuller.
This is one of those charming trifles in which
the French excel. “He had wit in him that
pen'd it.” In Tartarian of Tarascon were in-
carnated the two heroes of Cervantes—Don
Quixote and Sancho Panza.
Patrick Donahoe has brought out Charity to
the Souls in Purgatory, containing an assortment
of prayers, devotions and litanies for the relief
of the suffering souls in Purgatory, etc.; and an
entirely new edition of the Wearing of the Green
Song Book, containing J. Sheridan Lefanu's
Shamus O'Brien, and other favorite Irish songs
and ballads. Mr. Donahoe has in press for
speedy publication The Spaewife, or the Queen's
Secret, a tale of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by
Paul Peppergrass ; and a new edition of Shandy
Maguire, or Thic'cs Upon Travellers.
John Allyn has issued Macleane's Juvenal, .

abridged, with additions by Professor Samuel
Hart; and a revised impression of Holmes's
edition of the De Corona of Demosthemes. The
notes to these classics are full of “fine erudi-
tion,” and will be appreciated by students. The
English editor's introduction to Demosthenes's
oration contains a concise statement of the his-
tory of the De Corona; and the Life of Juvenal
by Macleane is as good as it is brief.
The American Tract Society of Boston has
published The Work of the Spirit, or Doctrinal
and Practical Meditations on the Nature and Work
of the Holy Ghost, by Samuel Cutler; and The
Child's Christmas Sheaf from the Bible Field, by
Rev Edwin A. Abbott. Parson Cutler is evi
dently an old-fashioned Christian, and his Work
of the Spirit is a timely contribution to the re-
ligious literature of the day. Rev. Mr. Abbott's
Sheaf is worthy of a large commendation, as
being one of the best books for children ever
made or taken from the Bible.
D. Lothrop & Co. have published The King's
Daughter, by “Pansy,” a pious, but really excel-
lent story of a pretty little Yankee Saint named
Dell ; The Babes in the Basket, or Daph and Her
Cradle, another readable little tale of an ebon
angel ; Fisher Boy, by W. H. G. Kingston ; and
Helen's Victory. The most notable of Lothrop's
immediately forthcoming books are Myths and
Heroes, by Dr. S. F. Smith; Helpful ghts
for Young Men, by T. D. Woolsey, D.D., LL.D.,
etc. ; and Historicals, being sketches of Ameri-
can history for young people. º -

The proprietors of Old and New have put
out a thin pamphlet entitled, Taa’-Bºremption,

PHILADELPHIA, February 1, 1874.
January is not apt to bring us abundant har-
vests, but the business of this month has been
very fair, probably equalling, if not exceeding,
that of the corresponding period of last year.
Porter & Coates have issued a new story, en-
titled, The Days of My Youth, by Amelia B, Ed-
wards, authoress of Barbara's History, Half a
Million of Money, and other well known novels.
Miss Edwards has gained for herself the repu
tation of being one of the successful novelists
of the day; her name is a safe guarantee for a
novel of engrossing interest. Those who read
Barbara's History will be prepared to welcome
this book. The publishers state that the first
edition, consisting of two thousand copies, was
exhausted on the day following its publication.
They have also ready, Lord Derby's translation
of Homer's Iliad, in two vols., illustrated with a
biographical sketch by R. Shelton Mackenzie,
D. C. L. By many authorities, this edition is
... considered to be the best rendering of Homers
masterpiece in the language.

ter known in theatrical circles as “Colley
Cibber.” The volume is a large duodecimo,
appropriately embellished with a life-like por-
trait of Mr. Forrest. Mr. Rees was an intimate
personal friend of the deceased actor, and learned
much concerning his inner life and modes of
thought. . . The same firm have issued a mag-
nificent photograph of Edwin Forrest in the
character of “Spartacus,” in Dr. Bird's play of
the “Gladiator”; also, a steel portrait in line
and stipple on India proof-paper, at a cheaper
price. . In February, the Messrs. Peterson will
publish Victor's Triumph, a sequel to The Beau-
tiful Fiend, from the prolific pen of Mrs. E. D. E.
N. Southworth; Margaret Hamilton, by Mrs. New-
by, a lady favorably known to novel readers by
her spirited story of Kate Kennedy; Married, a
domestic novel from the same writer; and Com-
mon Sense, from the same source. American
readers will certainly be placed in a position to
pass a deliberate judgment on the merits of Mrs.
Newby. Among the January books of the Pe-
tersons must not be forgotten their new edition
of The Memoirs of Vidocq, an autobiography,
penned by the famous Chief of the French
Police, which, though an old book, will delight
the many who have never read it, and will bear
a re-perusal by those who knew it years ago;
also, The Young Mugdalen, by Francis T. Smith,
of the New York Weekly, a finely bound volume,
in green and gold, with an excellent portrait of

author's simple, touching verses.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have in preparation
a Life of Edwin Forrest, by the Rev. William
Alger, of Boston, based upon facts and ma-
terials placed in the hands of Mr. Alger by Mr.
Forrest previous to his death, and other papers
which have been furnished by the executors ;
also a new Life of Franklin, by the Hon. John
Biglow The Life of Forrest will be an octavo
book of some five hundred pages, and will be
embellished with engravings of the actor in his
different characters and steel portraits of him-
Self and his mother. The Lippincotts have
published during the month, My Novel and
What Will He Do With It? each in two volumes,
in their new edition of Lord Lytton's works ;
Nicholas Nickleby, in two volumes, in their oc-
tavo edition of Dickens; Queen Krinaleen's
Plagues, or How a Simple People were Destroyed,
a tale of the twenty-second century, by the
author of Was She Engaged; Proctor's Border-
land of Science, in a fine crown, octavo volume ;
and Bébée, or Two Little Wooden Shoes, by
Ouida.
Henry C. Lea has brought out. The Student's
Guide to Surgical Anatomy, by E. Bellamy,
F. R. C. S.; Dr. Robert Barnes' Clinical Expo-
sition of the Medical and Surgical Diseases of
Women ; and a very fine edition of Dunglison's
Dictionary of Medical Science, enlarged and
thoroughly revised by Richard J. Dunglison.
The first edition of this work has been before
the profession for more than thirty years.
During that time, however, so many changes
and advances have been made in the science of
medicine, that an amended dictionary became
necessary. This the present editor has su

We notice that many of the publishers are
this year offering as holiday books those of
Solid usefulness. It is often the practice to
trick up some trashy volume with tinted paper,
wood-cuts and striking binding, all of which
make it a “splendid book for the holidays.”
But people who buy such stuff deserve to be
cheated, as they always are. There is much
folly often in book buying. Many families ex-
pend as much on one or two books as would
supply them with reading for a year. They are
showy volumes, written and printed and bound
to sell; an agent sets forth their attractions,
and they are bought to be laid on the parlor
table. Nobody reads them, but visitors will
see them and be astonished at the literary taste
of the people of the household. But there are
no library shelves full of good books of travel,
history, poetry and essays. Let the costly
books go, and buy those of real value at ordi-
nary prices, buying some every year till you
have a library which shall be a fountain of bless-
ing to all the family. - - -

*–
THE Rooksellers' £onvention.
We print, in another column, a communi-
cation from Mr. Gunn to the trade, setting
forth the purposes of the Booksellers' Conven-
tion, which has been postponed to the 12th of
this month. As the questions which will
come before the Convention are those in which
the entire trade have an interest, we hope the
trade will be fully represented there, if not
by elected delegates, at least by individual
attendance. That the retail booksellers have
reason to complain of the manner in which
business is conducted, no one acquainted with
the book trade can deny; but they can do
little in the way of reform without the aid of
the publishers and jobbers, and as reform is
quite as necessary to the latter as to the re-
tailers, that aid should be freely given. Of
competition on the part of the publishers,
dealers cannot justly, and will not generally,
complain, providing that they sell at retail
prices. Underselling is quite another matter,
and one of great importance to the publish-
€I’S.
No manufacturer or jobber can afford to
compete in prices with his own buyers, as such
competition will ruin any business. It is even
more injurious to the book trade than to other
branches of business, for the retail price of
books is fixed by the manufacturer, and if he
compels the retailer to reduce that price, he
depreciates the value of his own goods in the
estimation of the consumer. And this is just
what is being done. No regular book-buyer
now expects to pay the retail price for books,
and if one dealer will not divide the discount
with him, he finds another who will.
Having been accommodated so often, he has
gradually come to the conclusion that the re-
tail price fixed by the publisher is a fraud,
and he invariably underestimates the cost of
manufacturing.
There should be a uniform rate of discounts,
and we would suggest that this is an oppor-
tune time for an organization of publishers
and jobbers, and the adoption of such rates.
If we are to have reform, let it go through
the entire trade, from retailer to publisher.
Uniform discounts will satisfy the public,
who will get their books cheaper; it will sat-
isfy the retailer, for he will not be so con-
stantly importuned for a reduction in prices;
and the publisher will find a better market
for his books. It is worthy of note that the
publications of those houses whose discounts
are invariable and conservative are most pop-
ular with the public and with the trade.
When the bookseller can tell his customer
that his books are marked at their lowest
price, which gives him only an honest profit,
he will not only be able to get the price, but
his customer will be far better satisfied.
THE great AMERICAN Novel.
The entertaining book-critic of Old and
New, in the last number of that excellent mag-
azine, takes occasion to laugh at the preten-
sions that were made for “The Fair God,” in
styling it “The Great American Novel.” It
will be remembered that the same distinction
was claimed by somebody for Dr. Holland's
last book. Although we found “The Fair
God” far pleasanter reading than did the
“two hardy and rapid readers” to whom it
was assigned by the writer in Old and New,
and the story of “Arthur Bonnicastle” shows
many evidences of a master hand, neither
meets the popular demand for a great novel.
Both are good books, and have served a good
purpose, the one in awakening an interest in
a peculiar people, all knowledge of whom is
almost totally lost in the oblivion of the past,
the other in its nobler work of uplifting to a
higher life, but both are read to be forgotten,
and will live only in the silent influences to
which they may have given birth.
We are forced to confess that “The Great
American Novel” is not yet written. When
it appears, it will not be a romance of the past
or of the future. However pleasant the mem-
ories the novelist may revive, however fantas-
tic the future he may forecast, the elements
of a great novel are only to be found in the
present. It will not be theological nor scien-
tific, in the usual sense of those terms, nor
will it have to do with any of the popular
isms of the day. It will not be a fashionable
novel for Fifth Avenue, nor an intellectual
novel for the select of our “modern Athens,”
but a story of the people, of the toiling, strug-
gling masses of our great cities. Its incidents
will not be mere phantasies of an artist’s
brain, but the startling facts of that hidden
undercurrent of life of which we get a glimpse
only now and then in our daily papers. It
has been said that there is more of romance to
be found in these journals than in the pages
of our novels, and this feature accounts, in
some degree, for their popularity.
It is notable that not a single romance of
transcendent merit has yet been made of the
incidents of our late war, and yet one need
not search far for the reason. In times of
great political excitement our minds are too
much occupied with events as they transpire
to entertain sentiment, and it is not until long
after such revulsions that the fiction based
upon them is valued for its historic interest.
It is but very seldom that the hearts as well
as the heads of Christendom are engrossed
with a great social and political question,
such as that which gave its wonderful popular-
ity to “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” and happily the
present furnishes to our novelists no such pro-
pitious occasion.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
The interest and vitality of a novel depend
upon its truthfulness, and it may be that our
life presents no phases sufficiently remarkable
or curious for a great work of fiction. We
may not have a Dotheboy’s Hall, or a Mar-
shalsea, or even an ancient dust heap to be
explored by our avaricious Weggs, but surely
we have our Micawbers and Uriah Heeps, our
Scrooges and Mrs. Gamps; and there is, in
our by-ways, within a stone's throw of our
great thoroughfares, a life as strange and as
little known as that of the Tzins. He or she
who has the patience and hardihood to study,
and the ability to portray that life, and to
contrast it with that other life which goes
thronging past its very portals, all uncon-
scious of its existence; he or she who can pen-
etrate its mysteries and reveal the heart his-
tories, the motives, the struggles, the hopes,
the despair of this humanity, which is utterly
dead and buried to the people who make
what we call society, who can reproduce that
life in all its nobility as well as its degrada-
tion and misery; he or she will write “The
Great American Novel.”

£oRRESPONDENCE.
BosTon, Jan. 19th, 1874.
Editor Booksellers’ Guide:
DEAR SIR,-The articles in the GUIDE in rela-
tion to the evils connected with bookselling have
greatly interested me. To my mind, there is a
great need of an organization of Publishers and
Booksellers, with some central place of meeting
where they can come together, and talk these
things over. I do not see why some remedy
cannot be devised so that both jobbers and re-
tailers can be benefited. If the school-book
publishers can make it for their advantage to
have an organization, why can not miscellane-
ous and Juvenile publishers? In almost every
other business they have the advantages of
united action, and why can not we have them
in the book trade?
Why is it that we are always expected to
make a discount from the price of books? It is
not so in any other business, but in ours every-
body looks for a discount, so that now there is
very little chance of making a fair profit. I am
aware that in every large city, there are some
large houses strong enough to be independent
and do as they please ; they therefore are unwil-
ling to enter into an agreement which will com-
mit them to any fixed policy. Would they
not, however, if they found a strong pressure
brought to bear upon them from the trade
throughout the country 2 These views have
all been advanced in your GUIDE, but I hope
they will continue to be agitated till something
is done.
I trust the meeting to be held in Cincinnati
may result in important advantages to the whole
trade, and I pledge them my earnest support
in any steps they may take to rid us of the
practices which threaten our destruction.
This evil of underselling, both in the jobbing
and retailing branches of the trade, should be
remedied at once, and the public given to under-
stand that a book is worth a fair price, as well
as anything else. It may be objected that if
any arrangement is entered into, it will not be
kept. I think it will be, by those who agree to
it. Let me give you an instance.
Some three or four years ago, the Sabbath-
School book dealers of this city came together,
and organized themselves into a body with con-
stitution, by-laws, etc. They pledged them-
selves not to sell below a certain discount to
Sabbath-schools, to make no presents to induce
trade, etc. I believe this has generally been
faithfully kept, and buyers are just as well, yes,
better satisfied to buy at a fixed price, than
they were to buy at any price.
PUBLISHER AND BOOKSELLEB.
... THE CONVENTION.
SPRINGFIELD, O., January 8th, 1874.
To the Book: Trude.
DEAR SIRS,--The next meeting of Book-
sellers' Protective Union, as already noticed,
has been postponed to Thursday, February
12th, 1874.
From the various publishers, jobbers and
booksellers, the responses to the sentiments of
the association have been so hearty, that we
confidently expect speedy success—for no op-
position whatever has manifested itself to this
movement thus far. The conviction is general,
that a reform must be brought about that will
give dealers of each class a reasonable profit
and do away with the irregularities and griev-
ances in the trade, which are a constant source
of loss to every man in the book business.
Our meeting in February is for a full discus-
Sion of all the interests of the trade; not to
array one branch. of the trade against another.
Our interests are mutual, as publishers, jobbers
and booksellers; and several leading publishers
Thave most emphatically sanctioned the action
of the association.
We believe this convention will be a general
convention of the trade; and we here give again
an urgent invitation to publishers, jobbers and
booksellers to be present at the Burnett House,
in Cincinnati, Thursday, February 12th, 1874;
and we make the request for letters, giving the
views and suggestions of members of each
branch of the trade who may be unable to at-
tend the meeting.

Editors of Booksellers’ Guide :
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Booksellers' Protective Union to-day, the
committee found so many letters from book-
sellers, announcing full sympathy with the
action of the association, and a determination
to support the movement, yet excusing them-
selves from being present at the coming con-
vention (February 12th), that they at once de-
termined to send out an additional circular,

urging booksellers to be at the convention in ||
person, and not to quietly look on while so
great interests of the trade are at stake. In the
opinion of the committee, the success of this
enterprise will put more money into the pockets
of the trade (to whom legitimately belong the
profits of the business) than any movement yet
projected, and we want dealers to feel that their
interests are such that neither their letters of
approval nor subscriptions of money to the cause
Gan amount to as much as their presence with
hand and voice in the convention. Though it
cost something to attend, it is less expensive
than staying at home and enduring a trade with
such small profits that their very existence as
booksellers seems only a question of time.
Yet we invite all who can not be present, to
Write to us and express their views freely, that
their letters may come before the association,
giving whatever of valuable suggestions they
can, that the results of the convention may be
of general benefit to the trade.
The committee will meet at 10 o'clock at the
Burnett House—the convention will assemble at
2 o'clock. A suitable hall will be provided.
The convention will occupy Thursday, P. M.,
and Friday, 12th and 13th of February. We
are trying to make half-fare arrangements with
the railroads, but can not now announce the
result.
. Very truly,

CHARLES ASTOR BRISTED.
The death of this accomplished litterateur,
whose writings under the nom de plume of “Carl
Benson " are so familiar, occurred at Washing-
ton on the 15th of January. He was through his
his mother a grandson of John Jacob Astor,
and was born in New York in 1820. Educated
at Yale, and Cambridge, England, where he
took his degree in 1845, he was a man of rare ac-
quirements and an enthusiastic student through-
out his life. He contributed able articles to the
North American Review and Fraser's Magazine in
England, and was well known to the readers of
the Galaay and our daily and weekly papers.
In 1852 he published his Five Years in an Eng-
lish University, which attracted much attention
both here and in England from its graphic de-
scriptions of University life. A new edition
was published as late as 1872. His contribu-
tions to Fraser's were collected and published
in book form under the title of Sketches of Am-
erican Life Among the Upper Ten Thousand. A
number of smaller books from his pen have
been published, among which are several philo-
logical works, The Interference Theory of Gov-
ernment, and an elegant little volume in hu-
morous praise of the vine, entitled Anacreonites.
Though not a profound writer, he was always a
pleasant one, and his death will be regretted
by all who knew him by his writings, as well as
those who enjoyed his genial friendship.
ADAM BILACK.
Adam Black, the well known publisher of
Edinburgh, died in that city, January 25th, at
the advanced age of eighty-nine. He was born
and educated in Edinburgh, and there com-
menced the business of bookselling and after-
ward of publishing. He issued the new edition
of the Encyclopedia Britannica, to which he con-
tributed several articles, and many other im-
portant works. On the failure of the house of
Constable & Co., he became the publisher of
the Edinburgh Review, and owned by purchase
the copyright of the works of Sir Walter Scott.
He took an active part in politics, early identiſy-
ing himself with the Liberals, and represented
his city in Parliament from 1856 to 1865.

A telegram from Berlin, dated Jan. 21st, an-
nounced the death of Augustus Heinrich Hoff.
man, the German poet, at the age of seventy-
five. He published a volume of poems as early
as 1820. He was at one time Librarian, and af-
terwards Professor at the University of Breslau,
from which he was removed, by order of the King,
in 1842, on account of his Unpolitische Lieder. He
was the author of several valuable works on lit-
erature and philology, but he won his great
popularity by his poems, which are simple and
homely, and well fitted to touch the hearts of
the common people, for whom they were writ-
ten. Although he has written comparatively
little during the last twenty years, his simple
songs are still popular with the Germans, and
his death will be sincerely mourned by them.

Dr. McCosh is writing a History of Scottish
Philosophy, which the Carters will publish,
probably in the autumn. It will necessarily be,
to a great extent, biographical, embracing the
lives of a hundred or more eminent thinkers of
Scotland; and coming from so able and careful
a writer, will be an important addition to the
books of the year.
Among the publications announced for Feb-
ruary, is a book by Charles W. Jay, to be issued
by W. S. & E. W. Sharp, Trenton, N. J. Its
title will be, My Home in Northern Michigan; and

istic style, and will be brought out in good
shape by the publishers. -
Henry Hoyt, Boston, will soon publish two
Juveniles of more than ordinary merit. The
first, which is to bear the title Antoine, is a

other is a reprint of Jenetle Darney, which has
enjoyed considerable popularity in England.

ent Woolsey, and Historicals, by “Ordhoque,'

ber last by D. Lothrop & Co.. Boston, will ap-
pear early this month. Helpful. Thoughts is an
excellent book, consisting mainly of parting ad-
dresses to the graduating classes of Yale. His-
toricals is a compilation of Indian stories and of
the early history of our country, some of which
are new, and all of which are interesting. This
house will shortly issue a collection of sketches
of Mythology and of the early ages, by Dr. S.
F. Smith, entitled, Myths and Heroes; or, The
Childhood of the World. The book will be printed

The American Mail is the title of a new news-
paper, published in English, at Rio Janeiro,
and devoted to American commercial interests
in Brazil.
Most of the Vienna daily papers have raised
their prices, on account of the rise in the cost
of paper and wages. The Hungarian papers
have followed suit, also the newspapers of the
Canton of Zurich, Switzerland.
Victor Hugo had, before the death of his son,
completed the manuscript of his romance, en-
titled Quttre-Vingt Treize, and its first chapters

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the

Edmond About writes to The Athenaeum, from
Paris, that Taine's chances for an election to
the Academy were good until the republican
liberals learned “that he is engaged on a book,
in which he shows little sympathy with the
French Revolution,” and this work, still unpub-
lished, is likely to cost him dear. -
In Alsace, the German scholastic authorities
have issued a first reading book, the express
purpose of which is to reconcile the people of

sociations, and imbuing them with a respect for
everything German.
The Printers' Register, London, says: “A
work of great importance in the interests of
literature is about to be undertaken by a gen-
tleman well qualified for it, Mr. Faber, who
highly distinguished himself in connection
with the Early English-Text Society. The work
for which he has accepted a commission from
the Trustees of the British Museum, and which
is expected to occupy at least two years in com-
pletion, consists in the reproduction of the
title-page of every book entered at Stationers'
Hall since its incorporation in the reign of
Henry the Eighth. Such a work, it is almost su-
perfluous to add, will be of incalculable value.”
The series of articles which have been appear-
ing in London Society, under the title of “The
Chesterfield Letters of 1873,” and reprinted here
in The Home Journal, with the title “The New
Chesterfield,” have excited much attention in
London, not only for their cynical character,
but because many of the characters mentioned
are supposed to be drawn from life, and
have given occasion for unpleasant gossip. The
gentleman who was supposed to be the original
of “Harry Browne,” considering himself scan-
dalized in the “Letters,” set himself to find
the author, and succeeded so well as to bring
forth a disclaimer in a note to the Times from
Lord Desart, who acknowledges that he is “re-
sponsible” for the articles.

While we are looking to Europe for our
musical stars, a number of American singers
are winning enviable reputations abroad.
White, Smith & Co. will soon issue a new
Violin Method, by Julius Eichberg, the noted
violinist and composer ; also the Boston Con-
servatory Method for the Piano, by the same
author. Of their sheet music, the Bass songs
of Mr. C. A. White, l've Guthe, ed. Them, In, and
The Sea King, are enjoying a high degree of
popularity; Come Rise with the Lark is a well
arranged quartette for mixed or male voices ;
Queen of the Night is a waltz song of much merit,
by Mrs. H. E. H. Carter; and Hope Beyond is a
very pretty duett for tenor and bass, or soprano
and alto, by Mr. White.
The death of Mme. Eöphrosyne Parepa-
Rosa, in London, on the night of Jan. 22d, was
an event of mournful interest to the people of
this country, where she had not only won ad-
miration for her talents, but respect and love
for her many womanly virtues. She was born
in Edinburgh, in 1839. Her father was a
Wallachian nobleman, Baron Georgiades de
Boyesku ; her mother, a sister of Edward
Sequin, the once famous basso Her early life
was uneventful, and possesses little of interest
to the public. She early exhibited a remark-
able precocity in music, made rapid progress
in her studies, and made her debut in the City
of Malta, at the age of sixteen. She sang for
the first time in London, in 1857, where she
soon became a favorite. It remained for Amer-
ica, however, to witness her greatest success,
and to accord to her her full meed of fame.
She arrived in this country in the autumn of
1866, as a concert singer, and although almost
unknown and unheralded here, she rapidly
grew in public favor. In 1867 she married Carl
Rosa, with whom she organized an English
Opera Company, in , which she achieved a
popularity which has been attained by but few
singers in this or any other country. On her
return to England, she was received very cor-
dially, and her death will be as sincerely regret-
ted there as here.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
The jStationery MARKET,
Trade has been steady, but light, during the month, and, as is usual after the holidays, mostly in staple goods.
The manufacturers of writing papers have agreed to run their mills on half time during the next six months, and in
consequence, the prices of those papers have advanced from 10 to 20 per cent. The prices of other goods generally remain
as last quoted.
. ...The American News Company are introducing two new styles of note paper—the Cypress, a Mourning paper, with
initials in neat black border in the upper left hand corner; and the Repp paper, a new imported brand, tinted, and finely
ribbed, which promises to become very popular.
Adjustable Book Covers.

58 - THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY's
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of The American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no d.s.
appointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reference;
therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making remittances,
always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by mail is at risk
of parties sending. 4th. –The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for packing or carting
in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.-Small orders receive the
same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th. – We do not send New Papers and Magazines on sale to those
who specially order us not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, unless they order ws not to do so, . We
believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th. –We send New Books as soon as published to booksellers, unless specially
ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to customers free upon application. 9th.-Let-
ters, with full signature and address, should be enclosed with all remittances. 10th.-We enclose bill daily to costumers
having parcels by Express, to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-Newsdealers pay the Postage on their Packages of
Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rates of postage as if paid quarterly in advance.
|POSTAGE TO NEWS DEA LERS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. PAPER COWERED NOVELS, same rates as Magazines.
MAGAZINES, Two Cents for every Four Ounces. BOUND BOOKS, Two Cents for every Two Ounces.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited with
what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly subscrip-
tions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in advance. Upon
finding out what papers you can dispose of you make out a list or order (enclosing the wholesale price per this list, to
cover one week's papers) similar to this form:

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH of DR. x. Bourgeois,
By HOWARD F, DAMON, A. M., M.D,
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
ilt is a work which has come none too soon, and can have
a circulation equally among the young and middle-aged
none too wide—for it treats in a judicious way topics of ||
primal importance, not only to the inexperienced, but to
those long in the married state.—The Commonwealth.)
[Its spirit is eminently good, and its statements are worth
pondering.—Boston Journal.]
[Married women can read it with profit. The subject is
one on which there is great need of light—Moore's Rural
New Yorker.]
[The author sets forth the beauties of true love—not pas-
sion. He thinks marriage the only true consummation of
love—the only safeguard to society and health.—Rutland
Daily Globe.]
[It is free from sensationalism, and is a work to be com-
mended.—Lowell Daily Cowrier J
[A careful examination of the book will satisfy the reflect-
ing reader that the author treats this most serious and
difficult topic with great professional ability, and with a
clearness and propriety of diction, and a cogency of argu-
ment that cannot fail to be productive of much good.—
Boston Daily Globe.]
[A very judicious treatment of a very delicate topic. It
is full of information, deals practically with physical and
social sins, shows their results upon the system, and is a
powerful medical plea for virtue and social morality.—
Providence Evening Press.]

Of What Use is a Pen Without G006 nk? -
C: O M I B; I IN E- O.
Writing and Copying Inks.
As the arts of life gradually come to perfection, and the profitable employment of time renders it more and more
valuable, we have in every direction preparations and inventions for the saving of time, thought, and labor. Our fathers
were not so hurried but that they could take time to dip the pen into one inkstand for Copying Ink, and when their letters
were written, wipe the pen before dipping it into the Writing Fluid. We solve the problem by a combined Writing and
Copying Ink.
p º also, that this Ink shall flow freely and dry rapidly. It must not have sugar or gum in it, as the old-fash-
ioned copying inks had, because if it had it would “set off.” The chemist and his resources are taxed to produce an ink
to meet these various requirements, and we have the result in the
Peerless School and COunting-House Ink,
THE PEERLESS BLACK INK is blacker at first writing than most inks, while it flows more freely and dries more rapidly
and yields a copy with equal certainty.
THE PEERLEss WRITING AND Copyisg FLUID is a strong Copying Ink, yielding two (2) perſect copies at one impression,
and one excellent copy twenty-four hours after writing, and yet possesses the remarkable i. qualities which enable it
to successfully compete with the best brands of writing fluid.
The Peerless Violet Ink, perfumed, flowing from the pen as water, with a tint stolen from the violet, yields a portion
of its color for eight consecutive times, although it will yield only one copy at a time. This Ink coats a steel pen with a
golden scale, thus preserving the pen from rusting or wearing out.
We have two distinctly legible copies, taken January, 1872, from one writing done in 1869, three years ago, with the
Peerless Violet Writing and Copying Ink, Copies from these inks are perſectly legible when first taken.
About March 1st, these Inks, viz.: º ºr
Peerless Writing and Copying Black Muk; *
Peerless Writing and Copying Fluid, warranted equa
Peerless Writing and Copying. Violet Imlr ;
will be ready for delivery, and at prices which will make it to the interest of the trade to purchase.
We have been experimuenting for the past than ce years, and, a ſter ea reful tests, sure
satisfied that we are offering in lºs which justly deserve the manne, PEERLEss.

Extract from a letter from Prof. Max Muller to the au-
thor:—“I read your book with great pleasure. I have no
doubt it will do good, and hope you will continue your
work. . Nothing spoils our temper so much as having to un-
learn in youth, manhood, and even old age, so many
things which we were taught as children. A book like
yours will prepare a far better soil in the child’s mind, and
I was delighted to have it to read to my children.”
E. B. Tylor, F.R.S., in “Nature,” says:—“This genial
little volume is a child's book as to shortness, cheapness,
and simplicity of style, though the author reasonably hopes
that older people will use it as a source of information not
popularly accessible elsewhere, as to the life of Primitive
Man and its relation to our own.

During the coming year THE INDEPENDENT will endeavor to maintain the
high position which it has held for the past three years. In its literary columns
it will depend upon its well-known corps of American and foreign contributors
—a body of eminent authors, larger, probably, than that connected with any
weekly newspaper in the world ; its departments, devoted to Art, Science, Mis-
sions, Education, and Biblical Research, will be conducted, as before, by special-
ists in various departments of study; its full and catholic register of clerical
changes will be continued; its juvenile columns will be filled by writers whom
the children regard with favor; additional efforts will be made to furnish prompt
and able literary reviews; and in its editorial pages affairs of religious and gen-
eral interest will be discussed by competent writers.
Among the contributors to THE INDEPENDENT during 1873 may be men-
tioned :
Louisa M. Alcott,
Jacob Abbott, -
Mary Clemmer Ames,
H. W. Bellows, D. D.,
Horace Bushnell, D. D.,

* Never so good as it is to-day.”
The unanimous and unsolicited verdict of the hundreds of thousands of readers of THE
TRIBUNE is, that the paper was never so good as at the present time. During the past year it
has enlarged its field and improved its facilities in every direction, and enters upon the year
1874, which is to be one of the most important in public and political affairs, with most encourag-
ing prospects. THE TRIBUNE, however, believes in deeds rather than in words, in results rather
than in promises. It points to its record and its columns for the past twelve months as the best
evidence of what it has done, and the most satisfactory pledge of what it will do. All the dis-
tinctive features of the paper will be preserved and strengthened; the “Extras,” whose sale has
reached hundreds of thousands, will be continued; the front of its new building completed; and
the present admitted pre-eminence of the paper, not only maintained, but still further advanced.

• 12mo. Cloth, Black and Gold, $1.50; Paper, $1.00.
Mr. E. P. WHIPPLE, probably the best literary critic in America, says of this
book, in the Boston Globe :-
“A singularly brilliant novel. * * * * We acknowledge, somewhat guiltily, that we have
wasted some valuable hours which should have been consecrated to more important books, tr.
reading it from beginning to end.”
The Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston, says:
* * * * “Like all her previous stories, it abounds in refinement, spirit and thoughtful-
ness. Miss Edwards is, in our estimation, the most sparkling and pleasing of the lady writers
of light fiction. Her style is animated, fresh, and graceful, and her characters are always con-
ceived and drawn with remarkable skill and firmness. * * * * A strong dramatic interest
pervades the book (IN THE DAYS OF MY YOUTH), which is by no means unworthy her deservedly
high reputation.”
The first edition (of 2,000 copies) of this Novel was sold out THE DAY
AFTER PUBLICATION, and the demand is so great that a third edition is now
in course of preparation.

STEREOSCOPIC STUDIES
NATURAL HISTORY,
FOR
OBJECT TEACHING IN SCHOOLS
AND
PARLOR ENTERTAINMENTs.
We are now prepared to issue the first numbers of the first series of Animals and Birds of North America; these we
propose to continue, and to add to them a second Series of foreign specimens, and a third of various Animals and Birds
in grotesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natural instincts.
We offer these views not as pictures only, but as studies from nature. One of the great moving elements in our
modern system of education is object teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope transfers the Auimals and Birds
from their natural habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of our homes, where they cannot fail to leave a
lasting impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of each specimen.
An experience of more than twenty-five years as Taxidermist of the New York State Cabinet of Natural History, and
in gathering our large collection of native and foreign specimens, enables us to represent the results of our own work,
and to combine in every view the locality of the specimen with its appropriate rocks, woods, or water, and coloring from
the originals. Back numbers and parts of sets always on hand.

THE Rook MARKET.
NEW YORK, August 1, 1874.
The Booksellers’ Convention at Put-in-Bay
has been a common topic for conversation
among our booksellers during the month,
and various have been the opinions and hopes
respecting, its results. So many diverse in-
terests are represented in the book trade, that
it would be folly to expect the interested
parties to wholly agree as to the work which
such a convention should accomplish. But,
as certain abuses in the trade affect all, more
or less, the interest in the meeting was uni-
versal, and those who did not attend were in
full sympathy with those who did. With
what was done we have as yet heard no dis-
satisfaction, though there are not a few who
think the convention did not go far enough.
Our booksellers are all complaining of the
present dullness, but ali anticipate a lively
fall. School-book publishers have begun to
fill their fall orders, and trade in that line
promises to be excellent. Of miscellaneous
books, the fall lists are not yet announced,
and though the number issued during the
month is comparatively small, fully as many
have been issued as the state of the market
will warrant, the constant mistake of the
publishers being to supply more books than
the trade can carry.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have added Hard
Tºmes to their illustrated edition of Dickens,
and have published two good summer novels,
So Fair yet False and The Forgiving Kiss.
The first is a lively French novel, by Eugene
Charette, translated by Vibeur. It has had
a good run in Paris, where it bears the title
Pourquoi? and is as full of plot and intrigue
as can well be desired. The story is presented
to the reader mostly in conversations, which
are always polite and sometimes witty. The
Forgiving Kiss is unique, being written to
illustrate American society, by Mr. Moritz
Łoth, whom, by his dedication, we take to be
an Hungarian or a Moravian. The scene is
laid in Cincinnati, and besides the author's
opinions on all sorts of subjects, from religion
and morals to politics and finance, the book
seems to be devoted to the task of showing
how ridiculous and troublesome a woman may
make herself in her scheming to marry off her
daughters to good catches. Carleton & Co.
announce for this month a new English novel
with the somewhat startling title, A Charming
Widow) ; or, Wild as a Hawk.
J. B. Ford & Co. have issued a new edition
of Beecher’s Lecture Room Talks ; a second
edition of Rev. T. A. Goodwin’s The Mode of
Man’s Immortality ; and the report of Pro-
fessor R. W. Raymond, U. S. Commissioner
of Mining Statistics, on the Mining Industry
of the United States. This is a large octavo
volume, full of interesting information, em-
bracing descriptions of the various modes of
mining and of the several operations con-
nected with that industry, and valuable sta-
tistics carefully ascertained and compiled.
The subject is exhaustively treated, and the
book will be valued by all who are interested
in the subject. It contains one hundred il-
lustrations and maps, among the latter a
handsomely colored geological map of the
United States. Professor Goodwin’s book
evoked much discussion when first published.
It develops an interesting theory that man
has always existed as a spirit, and that the
story of his creation, as told in Genesis, re-
lates only to the body.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have issued Jules
Verne's two remarkable books, Meridiana
and Journey to the Centre of the Earth, in one
volume, under the title of Stories of Adventure.
The design of the binding is new and hand-
some, and it makes a volume of seven hundred
pages, with sixty-eight illustrations. This
house has nearly ready the new volume of
the Bric-a-Brac series, which bears the title
of Anecdote Biographies of Thackeray and
Dickens. They announce a new series of
brief historical works, to be called “Epochs
of History,” and to be edited by Edward E.
Morris. The first volume will be Frederich
254 .
THE AMER}CAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
Seebohm’s Era of the Protestant Revolution.
It will be issued in the early fall.
D. Appleton & Co. have issued, under the
title of Health and Education, a volume of
lectures and essays by Canon Kingsley, and
a Physiology for Practical Use, edited by Dr.
James Hinton. Canon Kingley’s papers are
upon a variety of subjects, some relating to
health, and others of a purely literary charac-
ter. Of the latter, those on George Buchan-
an and Vesalius, the Anatomist, are particu-
larly interesting. Mr. Kingsley has a way of
entertaining while he instructs; and his dic-
tion, always elegant, while treating of the
pro"oundest subjects, is never beyond the
grasp of the ordinary reader. Dr. Hinton’s
Physiology is a compilation of most valuable
papers from distinguished authors, on the
brain, digestion, corpulence, and kindred sub-
jects. It is “practical” in that it presents
the important facts of physiology in a manner
that is acceptable to the general reader and
without the use of technical terms. In it are
embraced the most recent theories, and much
good advice as to the methods of securing
and retaining health. The volume is intro-
duced by Professor Youmans, and appended is
an abstract of Professor Ferrier’s experiments
with electricity on the brains of animals.
Henry Holt & Co. have published in their
Leisure Hour Series, Alcestis, an anonymous
romance, which richly deserves to be called
an art novel. The author is evidently not
only a musician of no mean talents, but an
artist in a broader sense, displaying in the
pages of Alcestis a knowledge of the world
and of character which few novel writers
possess. It is a gracefully-told story of the
struggles of a musical professor, who ex-
periences all sorts of trouble, and finally dies,
a victim of disappointed love and ambition.
The characters are well drawn, and the
pictures of continental society are strong and
fresh. The next volume of the Leisure Hour
Series will be Edmund About’s The Wose of a
Wotary.
From Harper & Brothers we have some
good novels; Stanley’s Coomassie and Mag-
dala, and Capt. Tyson’s Arctic Adventures.
The Living Link, by James De Mille, is a
good story, with an admirable plot well
worked up, and is calculated to sustain the
interest of the reader to the end. Though not
so carefully nor so conscientiously written as
some of his previous works, it deserves a
place among the best of the summer novels.
My Mother and I, by Mrs. Craik, and The Best
of Husbands, by James Payne, need no recom-
mendation but the authors' names, when we
say that they are in every way equal in in-
rtrest to their other books. Mr. Stanley’s
book gives us a most interesting account of
the two campaigns against Coomassie and
Abyssinia, which he accompanied as corre-
spondent of the New York Herald. The author
is a close observer, and his graphic descrip-
tions of the strange countries and their strange.
inhabitants are entertaining and valuable.
Mr. Stanley is winning a reputation as a
writer second only to that which he gained by
finding Livingstone. The work is illustrated
and furnished with maps. The name of Capt.
Tyson is forever connected with the ill-fated
Polaris and her unfortunate trip. and his book,
though a record of facts, is so full of startling
adventure that it is more exciting than the
most sensational work of fiction. Another
book of adventure will shortly follow, entitled
The Nimrod of the Sea, by W. M. Davis. The
Harpers will also issue within the next month,
For Dove and Life, by Mrs. Oliphant; Sylvia's
Choice, by Mrs. Craik ; Prairie and Forest, by
Parker Gillmore; and Professor Cairnes' new
work on Political Economy, of which the Lon-
don Athenæum says : “It not only throws
new light on some of the most important
problems of the science, but it entirely re-
casts the theory of the cost of production,
and thereby clears away to a great exter:t the
mists and fogs by which the doctrines of in-
termational trade and international value are
surrounded.”
G. P. Putnam’s Sons have issued a pamphlet
on Alcohol. Its Combinations, Adulterations,
and Physical Effects, by Col. J. G. Dudley; and a
very commonplace, but well-meant, temperance
story, by Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton. Col. Dudley’s
brochuré is a rehash of all the oft-repeated ar-
guments in favor of teetotalism, including
many which are valid and others which have
been refuted by recent scientific discoveries.
The most useful part of the work is that de-
voted to exposing the methods employed in
adulterating and manufacturing liquors.
Thomas Whittaker has published three ex-
cellent books for the little people: Rose, the
Lavender Girl, by the writer of Cameron’s Bells;
Helen May; or, Unto her Life's End, by Louisa
Dorsey; and Christmas at Cedar Hill, a fresh,
bright story, by Miss Lucy Helen Guernsey,
who possesses the rare faculty of pleasing
children.
From Macmillan & Co. we have a new edition,
with a new preface, of Canon Kingsley's Alton
Locke, and a new revised edition of Mr. Archi-
bald Maclaren’s Training in Theory and Prac.
tice. This is one of the most elaborate and
valuable books on the subject of muscular
training ever written. * *
BOSTON, August 1, 1874.
Whether our publishers bave become dis-
couraged, or whether they have simply de-
cided to give the book reviewers a summer
vacation, it is certainly a fact that the latter
have had very little to do during the past
four weeks, and such a condition of things
being so exceptional, periods of relaxation to
the reviewer, being as seldom and as uncertain
as cometic visitations, the fact deserves to
be recorded. As mercy to the reviewers is not
at all a common attribute of the publishers, we
are obliged to confess a belief that the scarcity
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
255
of new books is not attributable to any such
humane feeling, but rather to the fact that
publishing just now is attended with more
risk than profit. As dealers throughout the
country are pretty well supplied with their
summer stock, the little demand for new books
does not warrant any great expenditure in
their production.
J. R. Osgood & Co. have published a trans-
lation, by George M. Towle, of five of Jules
Werne's short stories in one volume, with the
title of Dr. Oa, and Other Stories. They all
bear unmistakable evidence of the author’s
genius, and are as absurdly impossible, yet
absorbingly interesting, as the other works
from his pen. This is an 18mo, in the Saun-
terer's Series. A cheap illustrated edition is
announced for immediate publication, and
also of the Tour of the World in Jºighty Days.
The only other novel from Osgood is Emile
Gaboreau’s La Corde au Cou, with the freely
translated title Within an Inch of His Life.
Although French, it is not Parisian, the scenes
being mostly in rural parts, and the work hav-
ing a much wider Scope than most French
novels. It is a story of crinue, with a most
ingenious plot and startling situations. As
an illustration of the criminal laws and their
execution in France, it leaves a lasting im-
pression on the mind of the serious reader.
This house have also issued the third volume
of their 12mo edition of Robert Buchanan’s
works; the second volume of Vice-President
Wilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in
América, and a guide to The Middle States.
The latter is a valuable traveler's hand-book,
similar in arrangement and form to New
England, published last year. It contains
descriptions of cities, towns, routes, scenery
and points of interest, and includes in its
Scope New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Northern Virginia, and
a portion of Canada and the country around
the lakes. It is abundantly illustrated with
maps and plans. The second volume of Mr.
Wilson's work on the Slave Power is an octavo
of over seven hundred pages, beginning with,
the admission of Florida in 1845, and bringing
the work down to the election of Mr. Lincoln
in 1860. Though voluminous, the work is
lucidly written, seldom dry in detail, and one
of great value and importance. Though the
Writer is regarded as a partisan in politics, as
a historian he is impartial, treating both ac-
tors and actions very fairly, and probably
there is no living person better qualified for
º task of writing such a history than him-
Self.
From Estes & Lauriat we have the second
volume of Lord Campbell’s Lord Chancellors ;
the first volume of Joseph Arnould's Life of
Ilord Denman; the fifth volume of the same
author's Lives of the Chief Justices of England;
and Memories of Westminster Hall, containing
reminiscences of its great trials and the noted
personages who figured in them, and much
other interesting matter, with an introduction .
by Edward Foss. Also from the same house,
a capital guide-book for those who are fortu-
nate enough to be able to profit by it, by
Frank E. Clark; another charming little book
on 'insects, by Professor Packard; and a good
English novel of domestic life, Atherstone
Priory, by L. M. Comyn. Mr. Clark's guide-
book is entitled Our Vacations ; Where to Go,
How to Go, and How to Enjoy Them. He at-
tempts to show, and succeeds, how extensive
pleasure trips may be taken with very little
expenditure of money—for instance, to the
White Mountains for fifteen dollars, to Mon-
treal and Quebec for forty-nine and one-half
dollars (no odd change to be spent on whisk-
boys and boot-blacks), and other trips at pro-
portionate expense. The little work is charm-
ingly written, and the next best thing to tak-
ing one of these delightful money-saving trips
*n propria persona, is to read how it can be
done. *
Roberts Brothers have brought out, in a
handsome little 18mo, Edward E. Hall’s
Story of the Waldenses Eighteen Hundred
Years Ago ; and Mr. Fred. B. Perkins' Ameri-
can story of Scrope, or, the Lost Liorary, which
will be long remembered with pleasure by the
readers of Old and New, where it appeared as
a serial. It is the story of a young man's ex-
perience in New York and Hartford, while in
search of some lost books of his family, and
additional interest is lent to the book by its
numerous faithful pen-pictures of persons and
localities. Among the former is Mr. Gowan's
old book-store, and of the latter are several
subscription-book publishers. There are also
pictures of gambling rooms, drinking resorts,
etc., and a great variety of contrast in charac-
ters. These are all strung together by a
clever plot and the necessary accompani-
ments of the approved novel, which make it
interesting as a work of fiction.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. have published in
an octavo volume a number of the papers
which have been published in the “Tribune
Extras,” with the title of Tribune Popular
Science, The volume contains ten lectures by
Proctor, seven of Agassiz's lectures at Peni-
kese, Whittier's “Prayer of Agassiz,” Bayard
Taylor's letter on the Discoveries on the Site
of Ancient Troy, six of Brown-Sequard's lec-
tures, “The Wheeler Explorations,” “The
Meeting of the Academy of Science,” and
others. These are all important paper, and
worthy of preservation and a place in any
library.
D. Lothrop & Co. have issued, in the style
of Myths and Heroes, a volume with the title
Rnights and Sea Kings, giving an account of
the famous, romantic Knights of Malta, and
treating generally of chivalry, its rise, his-
tory and decline. The volume is edited by
S. F. Smith, D.D. Colby & Rich have pub-
lished Immortelles of Love, by F. O. Barrett,
and Défence of Spiritualism, a pamphlet by
Alfred R. Wallace, F.R.S., of London.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
PEIII ADELPHIA, August 1, 1874.
Our bookmakers and booksel'ers have had
very little to do during the month but to talk
of the convention and lay plans for the fall.
The trade is better classified here than in any
other of our large cities, and, as a rule, each
publisher confines himself to his own particu-
lar branch to the exclusion of the others.
Hence, the trade look upon the late action of
the convention from different standpoints and
with different degrees of interest.
Our publishers of medical works, who do not
care to retail at all, consider that they have
always been conservative in prices and dis-
counts, and, having taken no part in demoraliz-
ing the trade, do not feel called upon to reform.
The publishers of law-books hold nearly the
same views. Our large school-book houses, do
not retail and have taken little or no interest
in the movement. The makers of bibles and
albums sell at list prices, or at a conservative
scale of discounts therefrom, and leave the re-
tail prices to the retailer. Most of our sub-
scription-book men claim that they make a
class of books which cannot be sold profitably
through the trade, and they are obliged to
employ canvassers. When we come to those
who deal in miscellaneous books, we find them
anxious for reform, and willing to aid any
movement which will enable them to get re-
tail prices over their counters. The most they
can now do is to boast that they never knock
off more than twenty-five per cent. to a retail
CuSt Omel'.
The publishers have not yet made their an-
nouncements for the fall, and have ventured to
issue but few new books during the month.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued the fourth
volume of the Transactions of the Pathological
Society of Philadelphia, edited by James Tyson,
and containing the proceedings from 1871 to
1873 inclusive ; and What I did with my Fifty
Millions, by Moses Adams, a humorous satire
on financial theories and society in general,
written in a quaint and trenchant style. The
papers first appeared a few years ago in the
JRichmond Whig, and attracted much notice.
The frequent allusions to localities and names
well-known in Virginia will make the volume
more interesting to the people of that state
than to outsiders. Indeed, it is marked, “For
Virginians Only.” . The only novel from the
Lippincotts during the month is The Honey-
moon : Remembrance of a Bridal Tour through
Scotland, in two volumes, by the Count de
Medina Pomar, who dedicates it to his mother,
the Countess of Caithness, on his nineteenth
birthday. The book is certainly a remarkable
one, for so young an author, but one which
the ordinary novel reader will find little to his
liking. It is the story of an English nobleman
and his Spanish wife, who pass their blissful
honeymoon in Scotland. Their occupations,
which are largely literary, are followed in de-
tail, and the book is not without interest. It
will prove especially entertaining to those who
have a taste for literary as well as loving
honeymoons. In August, the Lippincotts will
publish The Greek Anthology, by Lord Neaves;
Prescott's History of the JReign of Philip II.;
The Speeches and Addresses of Lord Lytton,
which will contain a memoir of his political
career and opinions; novels by Mary M. Meline
and Henry Hooper; and a story of African
mission life, by R. H. Nassau, entitled, Crown-
ed in Palm Land.
Porter & Coates have just ready a new edi-
tion of Hiram Woodruff's popular manual on
the Trotting Horse of America. The work has
undergone a complete revision by a gentleman
who is thoroughly posted in all matters per-
taining to the subject, and contains nearly
one hundred pages of additional information,
with seven new engravings of favorite trotters.
An important feature in the new matter is a
register of the performances of noted horses,
carefully compiled from reliable sources.
They have lately added to D'Aubigne’s
History of the IRéformation about one hundred
and seventy-five pages of new matter relating
to the time of Calvin, by the editor, M. Laird
Simons. Pennsylvaniſt Illustrated is nearly
ready. It is a general sketch of the state, its
scenery, history, and industries; liberally
illustrated by engravings from photographs
and drawings by prominent artists. They
will shortly add to their International series
two English novels: Chaste as Ice, by Mrs. M
C. Despard, and Gentianella, by Mrs. Ran-
dolph. They are both highly spoken of by
the English press—the first as a story of con-
siderable power with striking delineations of
character; the second as a capital summer
book, with much yachting and English out-
door life to make it fresh.
This series of novels now includes some of
the best in the language. They are in very
pretty bindings of lead-colored muslin, with
neat side and back stamps in black. The
publishers have recently added to the series
by putting in the new bindings, Valentine the
Countess, issued several weeks ago. This is
one of the very best of the works of Carl
Detlef (Miss Clara Bauer), who, though still, as
we are informed, a young lady, ranks among
the best German novelists. This translation
by M. S. is a particularly good one, not an in-
accuracy of expression appearing to mar its
pages. A little later in the season this house
will issue The Wild Worth Land, a record of a
journey through British North America, by
Captain W. F. Butler, F.R.G.S., which will
be liberally illustrated, and a volume on Ora-
tors and Statesmen of Ancient and Modern Times,
containing sketches of their lives and selec-
tions from their speeches, by David A. Har-
sha. They have also in preparation for early
issue a new volume in the Sportsman's Club
Series, entitled The Sportsman’s Club Among
the Trappen's, by Harry Castleman.
The midsummer dullness in general trade
is generally accompanied by a greater or less
demand for light reading, and the Messrs.
Peterson always exert themselves to meet
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
257
f : 7
this demand. 'I'heir efforts this summer have
met with a fair measure of success. Their
latest novel is Sunshine and Shitdown, a work
of much merit, by Mrs. C. J. Newby, who is
rapidly gaining in popularity with American
readers. During the month of August, the
Petersons will publish Married Beneath Him,
by James Payne, which is spoken of in the
highest terms of praise by competent critics
who have perused the advance sheets; and
Love at First Sight, by Captain Curling, a
novel of unusual power, artistically con-
structed, written by a master of English, and
sparkling with a freshness of plot and inci-
dent that cannot fail to prove a welcome and
grateful relief to readers of prose fiction.
The Petersons evinced excellent judgment in
securing these two novels for their list. A
new edition of The Tower of London, by W.
H. Ainsworth, will also be printed this month.
That this is the best of Ainsworth’s many
romances is now very generally acknowl-
edged. -
John E. Potter & Co. have lately added to
their Comprehensive Family Bible “The Il-
lustrated Christian Denominations of the
World,” by Rev. Dr. Clement M. Butler,
giving an interesting account of the Doctrines,
Government and History of the principal De-
nominations throughout the World, with a
sketch of all important sects of ancient and
modern times; and “Christ and His Kingdom
in Shadows,” a series of engravings and papers
by Rev. Dr. Charles P. Krauth, illustrating
the events, ceremonies, etc., as set forth in
the Old Testament. Potter & Co. have pur-
chased the plates of Ingersoll's Life of Horace
Greeley, which was brought out by the Union
Publishing Company of Chicago. It has had
but a limited circulation, as the publishers
failed soon after its issue. It is being care-
fully revised, and will be offered to the trade
about September 1st.
Henry C. Lea has published a series of
essays, by Austin Flint, on Conservative Medi-
cine and Kindred Topics. Most of them have
been printed in the medical journals, but
they are all well worth preserving in this
permanent form. They treat of Conservative
Medicine as applied to Therapeutics and to
Hygiene, Medicine in the Past, Present and
Future, Alimentation and Tolerance in Dis-
ease, the Agency of the Mind, and the last,
which is peculiarly interesting, on the Divine
Design as exemplified in the Natural History
of Disease.
LoNDON, July 12, 1874.
This is the dullest period of the whole year
for books, and but very few have been an-
nounced during the past four weeks. Edward
Gray, the author of the “Queen’s Sailors,”
etc., has written a novel giving a graphic
description of New York life and manners, and
his thorough knowledge of the life he depicts
makes the work singularly interesting here.
It is called the “Van Bock Estate.” A nota-
ble new book is “The Political History of
Recent Times,” by Jules Van Pract, a concise
history in one volume, of the great events of
the political world from the time of the
Treaty of Utrecht. It has already achieved a
well-merited success.
“Some Time in Ireland,” a recollection, is
a most entertaining work, although the auth-
oress invites criticism, by occasionally giving
vent to some pronounced opinions. The
Messrs. Longman have issued one of the most
entertaining guide-books ever published,
under the title of “The Englishman’s Illus-
trated Guide-Book to the United States and
Canadas,” containing admirable illustrations
and maps. A most lively book of travel is
“A Trip to Norway in 1873,” by “Sixty-One,”
in which the author rattles along in a most
amusing manner, for he knew nothing what-
ever of the Norwegian language. Indeed, he
says that he had “little intercourse ’’ with the
people, yet it is not by any means the worst
work that has been written on that country.
“Early Russian History,” by W. R. S. Ral-
ston, consists of the text of four lectures de-
livered at Oxford last year, and it is scarcely
necessary to add that they are very well
written, seeing that they bear Mr. Ralston's
Ilal, D162.
It seems as though there were to be no end
to the books on Ashanti, for following the ex-
amples of the other specials who went to the
Gold Coast, Mr. Boyle, the Telegraph corre-
spondent, has produced a work on the late cam-
paign ; and although well written, in a lively
manner, it has come too late, for most of its.
contents are stale. A noteworthy new book
is Miss Wordsworth's (the poet's sister) Jour-
pal of a Tour in Scotland with her mother and
Coleridge, edited by Principal Shairp. The
correspondence of the poet Schiller with his
sister Christophine and her husband Reinwald
will, it is said, be published in the course of
the present year. The first volume of a new
edition of Tennyson’s works is just out. The
edition will comprise ten volumes, at two
shillings and sixpence each, which will be
the nearest approach to a cheap edition of his
works yet made.
“A Few Pages from Real Life,” by C. J.
Osborne, is a loose, disjointed journal of travel,
dedicated by the authoress to her friends
(who are the only people likely to read it).
She has evidently been a great traveler, but,
before she issues another book, it should be
more carefully revised, unless she wishes to
be thought a second Mrs. Nickleby. “Men of
Faith,” by Luke H. Wiseman, M.A., is an un-
pretending volume, yet it possesses the rare
merit of being eminently eloquent, and con-
tains the fullest biographies of “the men of
faith ” (taken principally from the Book of
Judges).
Books on folk-lore are on the increase, the
latest work of the kind being “Tales and
Legends of the Tyrol,” edited by La Comtesse
A. Von Gunther, and containing nearly one
258
THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS GUIDE.
hundred stories collected by her during her
travels in the Tyrol. Some are humorous,
while others are ghostly, but all possess a
good moral and are exceedingly well edited,
and taken altogether the book affords delight-
ful reading. “Queen Jane,” the title of an
historical tragedy by C. Warren Adams, is
a subject not often chosen by the poet, dram-
atist, or novelist; yet the story of her life,
poetically told, cannot fail to rouse the emo-
tions. Mr. Adams has received much praise
for the manner in which he tells the fate of
the hapless Lady Jane, and the parting be-
tween the Queen and her husband Guilford
cannot be read with dry eyes. Captain Brack-
enburg’s “Ashanti War” is not essentially
different from the other volumes on the Gold
Coast, containing nearly the same matter in
nearly the same style. “Prairie and Forest,”
by “Ubiqué " (Mr. Parker Gillmore), is a
work by a true sportsman, and one possessing
a rich vein of humor. It will be found inter-
esting by the general reader as well as the
Sportsman. E. W. T.

OBITUARY.
AGNES STRICKI,AND. • ,
Miss Agnes Strickland, the English histori-
cal authoress, died in London on the 13th ul-
timo, at the age of sixty-eight. She was the
daughter of Thomas Strickland, of Suffolk, a
man of considerable culture, and an enthusi-
astic lover of historical study. He carefully
superintended the education of his children,
and succeeded in developing in them tastes
similar to his own. They all afterwards be-
came known to the world as writers. The
subject of our sketch early developed a genius
for poetry, and before she was twenty, pro-
duced a lengthy poem under the title of Wor-
cester Field; or, The Cavalier, and a story of
modern Greece, entitled Demetrius, both of
which were highly praised. She contributed
to the periodicals, and with her sisters, Eliza-
beth and Jane Margaret, by one or both of
whom she was always assisted in her literary
labors, wrote Illustrious British Children, The
Rival Crusoes, and other historical books for
children. Her first large work, produced in
1835, was The Pilgrims of Walsingham,which at-
tracted much attention from the fact that the
“pilgrims” were all noted historical person-
ages. The first volume of Lives of the Queens
of England from the Norman Conquest ap-
peared in 1840, and the work was completed
in 1849. From 1850 to '59 appeared Lives of
the Queens of Scotland and English Princesses
Connected with the Regal Succession of Great
Britain, the most interesting volume of the
work being that devoted to Mary Stuart,
whose innocence Miss Strickland attempted
to prove by evidence lately discovered in the
State Paper Office. In 1862 The Bachelor Kings
of England appeared. Her latest works are
FIow Will it End? a novel, published in 1865;
Lives of the Seven Bishops, 1866; and Lives of
the Tudor Princesses, published in 1868.
FRITZ IREUTER.
A telegram from Berlin, on the 14th of July,
announced the death of the celebrated German
writer, Fritz Reuter. He was the author of
a large number of poems, comedies, and nov-
els, all written in the low German dialect, and
very popular among the Germans, but little
known among English readers. A dozen or
more volumes of his works have been pub-
lished here by Mr. Steiger, in the original
Plattdeutsch; but we can recall to mind but
one, In the Year '13, published here in English.
He was born in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in
18 0; studied law at Rostock, and at the age
of twenty-two went to Jena, where he joined
the Burschenschaft, an association of students
who made themselves very obnoxious to the
government by their excesses. . Within a
year he was arrested and condemned to
death, but the sentence was commuted to
thirty years' imprisonment. He was released,
however, in 1840, and since that time has won
a reputation as a writer of popular stories,
second to that of no other German writer.

School-Book }*Rices AND Discounts.
It is a very common opinion and One
frequently expressed, that school-books
are too high. This opinion is often based
upon a knowledge of the enormous edi-
tions which some of the older books have |
reached, and an entire ignorance of the
means by which they have attained their
popularity and of the cost and risks of
publishing. Years are frequently con-
sumed and thousands of dollars expended
in the preparation of a book, and the
publisher can by no means be certain,
after he has invested his capital, that it
will be a paying investment. Indeed,
after the book is completed and printed,
the expenses have just begun, for the best
of school-books will fail to get the rec-
ognition and support of the public, un-
less constantly advertised and vigorously
pushed. Even then the best judgment of
the publisher, however familiar he may
be with the demands of the public, may
be at fault, and failures and their conse-
quent heavy losses are not uncommon.
Under the most auspicious circumstances,
large sums are expended in revising and
re-revising to suit the most particular and
perhaps the most, capricious critics in the
world, school teachers and school boards,
before the book can start on a successful
career, and then it is a long time before
the first cost is returned to the publisher.
Of course, after the book has passed this
point, it pays; but this point is only
reached by a course of expenditure and
hard work which would discourage most
men, but which, if persistently followed,
would bring success to any business, even
to that of the Western bookseller.
The public are encouraged to believe
that prices are excessive, by the frequency
and readiness with which they are cut.
A teacher can always get a discount
from the retailer, and pupils through their
teachers Publishers are not always to
blame for this, for it is often done when
the publishers' discounts afford to the
dealer no more than a safe margin of
profit. But, on the other hand, the prac-
tice of the publishers of giving one-third
off in exchange, is well calculated to make
people believe that the retail prices are a
myth, as indeed in too many cases they
are, except as a basis for calculating dis-
COuntS. * -
Now, as so small a proportion of the
consumers ever pay the retail price, and
as the retail prices often serve to mislead
those well-meaning persons who complain
of the cost of school-books, would it not
be well for the publishers to fix no retail
price at all, but to leave that entirely to
the retailer? The present introduction
prices—which are generally one-third off,
with an optional ten per cent. for handling
might be adopted for wholesale prices,
from which discounts to the trade might
be scaled according to the size of orders.
Before the organization of the Board of
Trade this plan was followed and gave
very general satisfaction. The retail
prices were adopted as a basis for reg-
ulating Introductory and Exchange rates,
but those rates can just as easily be ad-
justed upon trade prices. g -
The making of school-books is to a
large extent simply manufacturing, and a
manufacturer cannot and ought not to fix
the retail price at which his goods shall
be sold, especially if the articles be staple
and in general use. Wherever it is at-
tempted, the attempt fails. It has failed
in school-books, which are retailed very
generally at prices below those fixed by
the publishers. The adoption of such a
plan as we propose will reduce the
apparently excessive prices, relieve the
publisher of much useless trouble and
annoyance, and allow the dealer in Ala-
bama and Oregon to add the extra cost
of transportation, and make as large a
percentage of profit as the dealer in New
Jersey or Ohio, as he has a perfect right
to do. We shall recur to this subject again
in a future number, and in the mean time
we shall be glad to have the opinion of the
trade in this matter.

THE Convention.
*-*
The recent Convention of Book Pub-
lishers, Jobbers, and Retail Dealers, held
at Put-in-Bay, the proceedings of which
we print elsewhere, was, in many respects
the most important gathering of book men
ever held in this country. Among those
present were representative men in the
several branches of the trade, most of
whom had no definite idea of what was to
be done. There was a feeling among the
retailers, especially from the West, that
the Eastern publishers were derelict to
their best customers, the retailers, in vari-
ous ways; while the publishers, on their
part, thought that dictation was not like-
ly to produce good results. In the pre-
liminary comparison of views, it was
feared that a want of harmony would
render the convocation powerless for any

practical purpose. But, as the delegates
met and interchanged opinions, a feeling
of harmony gradually obtained, so that
When the Convention assembled, a spirit
promising the best results prevailed.
This promise was confirmed as the ses-
sions progressed; a reading of the pro-
ceedings will show that good feeling was
dominant throughout, and the results
reached were highly encouraging of reform
and a more prosperous condition, here-
after, of the book business. Of course, all
now depends on the active co-operation of
the Trade in the new movement, and time
only can determine what that co-operation
will be.

SoME New School-Books,
During the last decade great improvements
have been made in School-books. The close
competition among the publishers incited by
the immense demand which our public school
system sustains, compels each publisher to
utilize as soon as verified, the results of all
scientific and literary research, and to make
their books not only as reliable, but as attract.
ive as possible. Much better talent is employ-
ed and much more time and money is expended
than formerly in their production, and he who
will carefully compare the books now made
with those of a few years ago, will be surprised
at the changes for the better, not only in the
matter, but in their embellishment and mechan-
ical execution. The business during the year
has been a profitable one, not because of any
increased demand for school-books, but because,
under the wise rules of the Board of Trade, it
has been conducted on a safe basis, and the
legitimate profits have not been squandered in
competitive struggles. e
Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co. published
early in the summer a revised edition of Pro-
fessor Dana’s Manual of Geology. The large
contributions to palaeontology and the many
geological discoveries which have been made,
especially in our own country, made it neces-
sary to wholly re-write the work and to con-
siderably enlarge it, and it is now one of the
most reliable books on the science we have.
The last number of their new series of read-
ers, the New Graded Series, was also completed
early in the season The series consists of
five numbers, carefully grº ded, all most hand-
somely illustrated. They are rapidly winning
a place in the schools. The Literary Reader,
compiled by Mr. George Cathcart, is just pub-
lished. It is suitable for advanced classes, and
is intended to be used with any series. It
contains about 400 pages of the best selections,
and is very attractive in appearance. Professor
William Swinton’s Outlines of the World’s
History is nearly ready. Though designed for
the use of schools and academies, it is in many
respects very different from the ordinary
greatly enlarged.
School history, it having “special relation to
the history of civilization and the progress of
mankind.” Interspersed with the dry politi-
cal facts and dates, are the far more interest-
ing facts relating to food, dress, social cus-
toms, education, and other subjects, which
serve to make the pupil better acquainted with
the people he is studying, and to illustrate
the world’s real progress. It will be a valu-
able addition to our text-books. This house
will have ready for the fall a new illustrated
Combination Speller, by James Shearer, in
which the subject will be elaborately treated;
and a volume of Military Lessons, designed
for schools, colleges, and militia, by General
Welcker, a graduate of West Point, and pro-
fessor in the University of California.
D. Appleton & Co. have just ready the third
part (Perspective Series) of Krusi's Drawing
Series. It consists of four books, and like the
preceding parts—the Analytical Series, four
books, and the Synthetical Series, six books—
it is very systematic and thorough, and accom-
panied by a text-book with explanatory
figures. This is to be followed shortly by a
Geometrical Series of four books, which will
complete the work, and make it the most
elaborate series of drawing-books published
in the country.
A. S. Barnes & Co. have recently published
the first of a new series of arithmetics, by
Professor William G. Peck, of Columbia Col-
lege. This number or volume, which is the
highest in the series, bears the name of Peck’s
Complete Arithmetic, and is to be followed by
First Lessons in Arithmetic and a Manual of
Practical Arithmetic. Barnes & Co. have also
published Monteith's Comprehensive Geogra-
phy, to be followed by an elementary book,
the two to form a two-book course, and Cole’s
Self-Reporting Class Register, which is head-
ed with tables on the scales of five and ten,
by which averages can be determined without
resort to the usual methods. As a means of
saving time and labor, these registers will
commend themselves to all teachers Barnes
& Co. have nearly ready an introduction to
the study of Grammar, with the title of Easy
Lessons in Language, by Professor Clark, the
author of the books on the diagram plan, and
an Independent Youth's Speller in Script.
Sheldon & Co will have ready in a few
weeks Professor Olney’s Introduction to Alge-
bra, designed to precede the Complete School
Algebra, by the same author. The principles
are presented in the simplest manner and il-
lustrated by simple inductions. They have
also nearly ready in text-book form Shaw’s
New History of English and American Litera-
ture, which has been prepared, using Shaw’s
Manual as a basis, by Professor Backus, of
Vassar College, and Shaw’s Specimens of
American Literature and Literary Reader,
In its improved form this
will be an excellent reader for higher classes.
Hooker's Physiology has also been revised by
Professor Lewall, of the State Normal School

of Illinois, and an edition will soon be printed
from the new plates. Mr. Patterson has pre-
pared two new spellers, the Common School
Speller beginning with the simplest lessons
in bold type for printing on the slate, and the
Speller and Analyzer, for advanced classes,
both of which will be published this summer.
They are carefully arranged by a practical
teacher, and will supply a want which most
teachers have felt, of a method which reduces
written lessons to a system. Each book is
accompanied by an exercise book, which is
ruled and numbered so as to correspond to
the text book.
Clark & Maynard will issue in time for the
fall terms a little 16mo Junior Class History
of the United States, by Professor Anderson.
It includes all the important facts, in a style
suitable for elementary classes. It is well
illustrated by maps and engravings, and anec-
dotal foot-notes are added to make the text
intelligible and interesting to the pupil.
Albert Mason, late a member of the firm of
Mason, Baker & Pratt, has taken all the plates
of that house and set up in business for him-
self. He has become the publisher, by pur-
chase from Kiggins, Tooker & Co., of Pier-
son's Questions in Geography and of Jamie-
son’s Logic and Rhetoric, and lately added to
his list All the French Verbs at a Glance, and
an Idiomatic Key to the French Language,
both by Etienne Lambert and Alfred Sardou,
two successful French teachers. In the former
book the directions for the conjugations are
presented in twelve simple rules, with a table
of irregular verbs and a series of exercises,
to illustrate their use and the sounds which
are most difficult. In the Idiomatic Key,
over two thousand familiar phrases are given
which cannot be literally translated. It is a
good school-book and also a valuble reference
book in or out of the class-room.
Taintor Brothers bave just published First
Steps in English Grammar, a little book for
beginners, by A. N. Fellows. The matter is
well arranged to lead the pupil by easy steps
to a knowledge of the first principles of
grammar, and to make the study pleasing as
well as profitable. We have also from this
house a Teachers' Hand-Book of Arithmetic,
by Dr. MacVicar, principal of the State Nor-
mal School at Potsdam, designed to accom-
pany his Apparatus for Teaching Arithmetic,
which Taintor Brothers are introducing. This
Apparatus consists of a number of “Example
Frames,” which exhibit a great number and
variety of combinations for drill in the fund-
amental processes of arithmetic. It is not
possible to give any description of the appa-
ratus which will convey an idea of its great
usefulness. The Hand-Book is intended as a
Key to the Apparatus, but it contains, besides
the ten thousand answers to examples pre-
sented by the Apparatus, many valuable sug.
gestions in regard to the method of teaching
arithmetic, and about one thousand graded
test examples. Both Apparatus and Hand.
Book will commend themselves at a glance
to every practical teacher, and a closer exam-
imation will heighten the appreciation of
their value.
Cowperthwait & Co. have added a number of
important books to their list during the year.
Among them is a Key to Hagar’s Elementary
Algebra, embracing answers and solutions, and
intended for teachers only. This Algebra,
prepared by Professor Hagar, principal of the
State Normal School at Salem, Mass, was first
issued last winter. The subjects are presented
by means of suggestive questions, leading the
pupil gradually to an understanding of the
principles. The most important features of tue
work are the mental exercises and the number
of problems of a practical character. The
publishers have in preparation an Elementary
Geometry, by Professor Hagar, which will
complete this series of mathematical works.
They are also preparing a full University
Course in Mathematics. Early in the year
they added a First and Second Reader to Mon-
roe's Series, which now numbers six books,
carefully graded, richly illustrated, and strongly
bound. They will issue early in the fall two
new Spelling Books, by Professor Monroe–
First Steps in Spelling, to contain about eighty
pages, with cuts on each page to illustrate
Sentences at the end of each lesson, and an
Advanced Spelling-Book. In the spring they
added to their list of Geographies Warren's
Brief Course, a well arranged and handsomely
made book, designed as a one-book course, and
they are publishing new Map Drawing sheets,
with diagrams, to accompany Apgar's Draw-
ing-Book. Greene's New Analysis, lately added
to their list, is Greene's Analysis with the
definitions revised, the arrangement somewhat
altered, and much important new matter added,
to carry the pupil forward in the study of
language. These changes adapt the book to
the wants of higher classes. The copyright
of the Old Analysis is nearly expired, but it
is still largely in demand, and the copyright
will be renewed.
----—------sº
Mr. R. Davey, the pleasing magazine writer,
is engaged upon a Memoir of Madame Thassaud,
who is known in London as the founder of a
celebrated exhibition of wax works. In her
earlier life she was lady in waiting to the
Princess Elizabeth, sister of Louis XVI., and
knew all the court, notables of the time, and
the leading men and women of France. Mr.
Davey has been supplied by her family with
abundant material for his work, which will
not only contain much interesting gossip con-
cerning Voltaire, Miurat, and other distin-
guished people, but will throw much light on
the social aspects of the revolution of ’93.
The new postal card will be nearly white,
printed with black ink, have a narrower
border, and be generally much meater in
appearance than the card now in use.

Address by the President, A. D. F. Randolph, advert.
ing at Some length to the importance of the Convention.
He showed to what a condition the book trade had been
reduced, that, to eke out a living, everything had been
introduced to the book store. He enjoined a change and
urged a harmony of co-operation to sell books only at a
profit, thus to redeem the trade from its depression.
| Approving the objects of the convention, he prophesied
ultimate good from its work.
Mr. Geo. B. Brown, of Toledo, followed in an address
of welcome to the delegates to Put-in-Bay, giving some
historic memories of the spot and congratulating all
upon the happy auspices under which they assembled.
This address was in excellent taste, and was responded
to by the President on behalf of the delegates present.
Moved by Mr. William Lee, of Boston, that a com-
mittee of thirty members be appointed by the Chair to
consider upon the affairs of the trade and to report to
this Convention.
Moved that a Committee of three members be ap-
pointed by chair to act as a Committee of Finance.
Moved by Mr. Clarke, of Cincinnati, that a Committee
on Enrollment, of four members, be appointed by Chair.
All adopted, and the several committees were an-
nounced as follows:

G UIDE.
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’
Whereas, The retail booksellers of this country are
a most important element of civilization, second only
to the church and school-house, and no village or town
can be thoroughly prosperous which does not contain at
least one good book-store, where the best literature of
this country is attractively displayed; and,
Whereas, The late controversies and distractions ex-
isting in the book trade, and the custom, which has grown
ºp on the part of the publishers and larger city dealers,
of selling books to private customers at very nearly the
same rate at which the local booksellers can purchase
them, has rendered it impossible for the local dealer to
successfully invest his capital in a stock of books to
meet the wants of his own section; and if this evil is not
checked, at no distant day the whole business of selling
books must fall into the hands of large city dealers or
péddlers, greatly to the detriment of local communities;
therefore, w
Ičesolved, That the discounts which have heretofore
been allowed to ministers, teachers, and libraries, on
the ground that they are common workers with us in
the distribution of knowledge, be as follows, namely:
that discount not exceeding twenty per cent. in miscel- ers the largest possible discount.
laneous and school-books may be allowed by publishers,
jobbers, and retails to professional men and teachers,
and on goods sold in quantities to libraries and large
buyers outside the trade.
Resolved further, That we deem it right, and for the
best interests of book-buyers, to make the purchase of
and to sustain the local booksellers that the business of
the local dealers may be developed for the common good.
Jºesolved, That publishers be requested to send, as far
8,8 Pº. editorial copies through a local bookseller,
and the bookseller exercise due care in the prompt de-
livery of the books and in the transmission of notices to
the publishers.
The business of selling books, at best, is not among
the profitable kind of literary enterprises, and yields but
a fair living, and requires unusual intelligence to suc-
cessfully prosecute it.
Resolved, That in view of the insufficiency of the pre-
sent system of trade, and also of commercial travelers,
to meet the wants of the trade in lieu thereof, this Con-
vention apppoint a committee with power to establish
and conduct a semi-annual book trade, sale or fair, at
which publishers shall offer their books during the period
of the sale at special terms to the trade.
The next resolution recommended the project of Mr.
IE. Steiger to catalogue and classify books.
The next makes the Publisher's Weekly the official
organ of the association and the medium of first an-
nouncement of books.
The last resolution provides for the appointment of a
new committee on permanent organization, to report
Thursday morning.
The resolutions were considered seriation. The first
elicited much discussion. Mr. Thomas D. Eſubbard, of
Columbus, objected to the rate of discount indicated,
and submitted to the Convention a substitute, but pre-
mised by remarks criticising the make-up of the com-
mittee, composed as it is of one-third book retailers and
two-thirds jobbers and publishers. The substitute pro-
posed that discounts to libraries, etc., shall not exceed
10 per cent., and on law and medical books, and 5 per
cent. to any not in the trade—this to take effect when
all booksellers doing a business of $10,000 per year should
bave signed an agreement to this; and to enforce the
oontract, publishers were to agree not to sell their books
to dealers violating the agreement. All bills to be con-
sidered retail bills which are not sold to legitimate
booksellers. The contract not to affect purely subscrip-
tion books.
* The president of the Committee of Five, Mr. Sheldon,
explained the reasons why the twenty per cent. was
adopted.
Mr. Nicholson, of Richmond, Ind., responded, in-
dorsing, as a retailer, the action of the committee, and
called upon Mr. Hubbard to withdraw his propositions,
He did so, but not until Mr. Watson, of Illinois, had
called for the previous question, but gave way to re-
quests to keep questions open for debate. -
Mr. Challen, of Philadelphia, dissented from the com
mittee's action as eitherwise or just, and offered as a sub-
stitute a resolution denying the discount altogether to
parties outside of the trade.
Mr. Deyo, of Ohio, thought it well to accept some such
resolve.
Mr. Aston, while defending the action of the commit-
tee, said that the retailers would now claim from publish-
If the present price of
books was to be maintained, then the retailers must in-
sist upon outside margins.
Mr. Sheldon adverted to the reason why books could
not be reduced, and assumed that they were not too
high, and that the retailers did wrong in encouraging
the idea that books were too high.
Mr. Taylor, of Buffalo, thought that prices were not
too high. He assented heartily to the action of the
committee.
Mr. Bowker, of New York, believed the action taken
to be wise and practical, The platform adopted at
Cincinnati was theoretical instead of practical. The
work now achieved was a success as far as what is
practicable seemed possible.
Mr. Gunn, of Ohio, also regarded the committee's
action as wise and well calculated to benefit the trade.
Mr. Hubbard questioned the policy of publishing the
proceedings, and asked that the convention request the
reporters not to report the clause concerning discounts
to outsiders.
Mr. Sheldon expressed pleasure at the general tone of
remarks, and suggested that the vote on the resolution
be unanimous. As to publishing the resolution, he
thought publication the only proper course to assure the
public and dealers that there now is a definite margin
to certain outside parties. He hoped the reporters would
keep back nothing.
The question being demanded, a vote was taken by
count, with the result: 112 ayes; 2 nays.
[These two nays voted nay, being opposed to any dis-
count whatever, outside of the trade.]
The resolution was announced by the president as
“passed” and “the millenium is approaching.”
The second resolve was adopted unanimously.
The third resolve was adopted by a unanimous vote.
The fourth resolution was also adopted unanimously.
The fifth, sixth and seventh were likewise adopted.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Iowa, offered the following:
Resolved. That the publishers of subscription books É
requested to give the agency for their books to some
regular dealer in the section to be canvassed. -
A resolution offered by Mr. Gill, of Boston, in re-
gard to the price of books not being too high, was re-
ferred to the Committee on Affairs.
The resolution by Mr. Grosvenor was also referred to
the same committee.

Ey Mr. West, of Milwaukee : Itesolved, That it is the
sense of this Convention that it is desirable that all pub-
lishers should make a retail price to their publications,
and make their discount to the trade from such price.
It was proposed to refer it to the Committee of Af.
fairs, but this reference was opposed by Messrs. Taylor,
Hadley, and West ; and the resolution being put to the
vote, elicited pro and con remarks. Mr. Stevens, of
Cincinnati, opposed the resolve as unjust to a house
which had already reduced its rates and put out its
catalogue. -
Mr. Bragg, of Cincinnati, representing Messrs. Wil-
son, Hinkle & Co.—the house referred to—thought it
would place the house in a very awkward position by
compelling it to restore its old rates, and hoped the re-
solution would not be pressed to a vote.
Mr. West insisted on the propriety of the resolution as
a simple and safe mode of computing the discounts.
Messrs. Sheldon, Holman, Taylor, Aston, Barnes, and
Brown canvassed matters, and Mr. West, seeing that it
was regarded as a reflection on the Cincinnati house,
withdrew the resolution amid hearty cheers.
The chairman then announced the

I'owrth Session, July 23.
Met at half-past 9 A.M. Letters from leading publishers
and dealers were read, covering matters pertaining to
the trade, suggesting remedies for existing evils, and
proposing modes of action.
Mr. Christern, of New York, was especially pointed
in indicating abuses, and asked earnestly for action
looking to reform.
Mr. Shillaber (Mrs. Partington), of Boston, gave
Some characteristic views of the situation, and sug-
gested that the Convention should have a good time.
Mr. Cazeneau, of London, contributed a valuable ex-
postion of the English-American book business, giving
its modus operamdi, its rates of discounts, etc., etc. He
also exposed the sad state of disorganization of the
book trade in Great Britain.
The secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Publica-
tion asserted the necessity for reform, and hoped for it
through the Convention.
A. H. Butler & Co., Henry Holt & Co.; Berry, of
Nashville; Scribner, Armstrong & Co., Harper Bros.,
Appleton & Co., American Tract Society, Carleton &
Co., Mason, Phillips & Crew, of Atlanta, Ga., all ln-
dorsed the movement, and expressed hearty wishes for

Trade. •.
The Committee on Organization reported a Constitu-
tion for the AMERICAN BOOK TRADE ASSOCIATION, the
objects of which shall be the promotion of the interests
of the Book Trade in the United States, and the im-
provement of its methods of doing business.”
It was proposed by Mr. Sheldon to strike out the
Word Trade in the name of the Association, and a vote
being had on his motion, resulted in: Ayes, 23 ;
nays, 48.
Mr. Sheldon also objected to the clause relating to
Committee on Assemblies, and moved its excision, as
somewhat conflicting with a previous resolution naming
a committee to organize the Trade Fairs.
The agent of the New York Methodist Book concern,
Rev. Dr. Nelson, gave in his hearty adhesion to the
work, and he adverted with some severity to the
Ishmaelites of the trade, who went around the country
selling Sunday-school libraries at one-half off. His re-
marks were well received.
Mr. Sheldon renewed his motion for a change in the
clause constituting the Committee on Assemblies, so as
to make it conform to the action of yesterday, appoint-
ing a special committee on the Fair. His motion pre-
vailed by a large vote.
Mr. Sheldon then moved the adoption of the Report
of the Committee on Organization as a whole, and the
motion was almost unanimously adopted.
There was some discrepancy of views regarding the
duties of the Committee on Fairs, and, on the motion of
Mr. Baker, of New York, it was resolved that the re-
solve of yesterday, making that committee be made a
part of the by-laws of the Permanent Organization.
This prevailed by a unanimous vote.
The President then named the Committee on Trade
Sales or Fairs, as follows:
W. H. Appleton, Isaac Sheldon, A. C. Barnes, J. B.
Lippincott, William Lee, A. C. McClurg, Martin
Taylor.
The appointment of officers of the Permanent Organiza-
tion for the ensuing year was then announced from the
committee, amid cheers; but it was found to be in-
formal, as the constitution required a formal vote for
these officers. To obviate this, it was moved and
seconded, that the officers named from the committee be .
adopted viva voce, and the Convention gave a unani-
mous vote amid great cheers. The officers are as
follows:
For President—A. D. F. Randolph, New York; Wice-
Presidents—Isaac C. Aston, Columbus, Ohio; Martin
Taylor, Buffalo, New York; H. H. West, Milwaukie,
Wis.; Treasurer–Timothy Nicholson ; Cor. Secretary—
James G. Baker; Ibec. Secretary—John H. Thomas.
Letter was read from proprietors of Put-in-Bay House,
extending hospitalities for next Convention. Referred
to Committee on Assemblies.
A resolve offered by Mr. Smith, that the Executive
Committee be empowered to obtain signatures to the
constitution.
* This constitution, as amended, we will give in our
next issue.

For the Mysteries of Udolpho Mrs. Radcliffe
received five hundred guineas, the largest
sum that had at that time ever been paid
for a novel; and Peter Pindar (Dr. Wolcott)
made a still better bargain for his poems.
They had already acquired a prodigious popu-
larity, and in selling the copyright a question
arose as to whether they should be purchased
for a lump sum or an annuity. While the
treaty was pending, Wolcott was seized with
a violent and rather ostentatious attack of
asthma, which sadly interrupted him in dis-
cussing the arrangements, and he was eagerly
offered an annuity of £250. The arrangement
was made by Walker, a partner with Robin-
son in this transaction. Walker soon called
to inquire after his friend’s illness. “Thank
you, much better,” said Wolcott. “I have
taken measure of my asthma, ; the fellow is
troublesome, but I know his strength and his
master.” Walker's face grew longer; and
when he rejoined his wife in the next room
the doctor heard a shrill feminine expostula-
tion : “There ! you’ve done it; I told you he
wouldn’t die.” He outlived all the parties
concerned, and was in his own case, perhaps,
scarcely justified in originating the famous
saying that “publishers quaff champagne out
of the skulls of authors.”—Curwen’s History

THE Stationery MARKET
Business is very quiet, but prices are generally kept up.
A few Western buyers are in the market, but they are
placing their orders cautiously, and although the larger houses are preparing for a brisk fall trade, the indications of
such a trade are, as yet, very few.
But few new goods, either foreign or domestic, have yet appeared.

THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY'S
I, IST OF
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reſer-
ence; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remiſtances, always procure a Draft or Post Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d, Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th —The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or carting in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only he cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly fºrwarded 6th.-We do not gend New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, unless
they order ws not to do so. We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as sºon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary, 8th.--! n velopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express; to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-News-
dealers pay the Postage on their Packages of Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rate of postage as if
paid quarterly in advance. -
| POSTAGE TO NIEWSD]EALLERS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. BOUND BOOKS, One Cent for every Two Ounces.
MAGAZINES, One Cent for every Four Ounces. PAPER COVERED NOVEIS, do. do.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form : -

THE STATIONERS ANNUAL
Referring to our notice in last Number of the Publishers' Weekly, we have **
the pleasure of informing the trade that, encouraged by the expressions
of approval and promises of support, We have decided to prepare a special
ANNUAL for the Stationery and Fancy Goods Trade, with the purpose of
making it as useful and indispensable a work of reference to the Stationer
as the Publishers' Annual has become to the Bookseller. The title thus far
suggested will probably be
| \|\|\ \|| || ||\|
BUSINESS GUIDE FOR /874-75.
TH E VOLU MSE IS TO CONTAIN :
1.—A general Guide to the Stationery Trade, which is to take the place of
the long-promised STATIONERS’ HANDBOOK–giving to beginners or dealers
all the necessary information on the details and technicalities of the Sta-
tionery Trade, together with valuable miscellaneous hints and notes.
º
2.—A comprehensive Price Current of Staple Goods, arranged systematic-
ally for ready reference, and provided with a margin for price changes
which, after the publication of the Annual, will be regularly reported in the
Publishers' Weekly.
3.—Illustrated Catalogues, Trade Lists, Business Cards, etc., of Manufac-
turing Stationers, and Importers, and Wholesale Dealers of Miscellaneous
Goods (generally sold at the Book, Stationery, and Fancy Goods Stores).
4.—Alphabetical and Classified Indexes that will enable dealers to turn
readily to anything they wish to be informed upon.
The work will form a large 8vo, uniform with the Publishers' Annual, bound
in cloth. Price of subscription, per copy, 50c., payable on motification of publica-
tion day (probably in September), after which the price will be raised.
ſº Suggestions and indorsements of this enterprise are respectfully so-
licited, and will be thankfully appreciated.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
THE NEW NATIONAL SERIES.
M M ESSRS. A. S. BARNES & CO. have the satisfaction to announce the near approach to completion of
their new or supplementary series of text-books, embracing the choicest recent works on every subject
pursued in our schools.
They are the only publishers in this country, and, it is believed, in the world, who can offer to their patrons for
selection Two Complete Series of text-books, each independent of the other, and each possessing incontest:
able merits peculiar to itself. The elder or “Standard Course” is composed of such works as Davies'
Mathematics; McNally's Geography; Parker & Watson's Readers; Willard's History; Peck, Porter, Jarvis,
Wood, and others in the sciences; etc., All of these have been recently revised or re-written, so as to be fully up to
the most exacting modern demand, and are sold to the extent of many hundreds of thousands of volumes annua ly,
with the undiminished approbation of the public.
The NEW SERIES finds its raison d'etre largely in the demand for “brief” text-books, forced upon us by
the crowded courses of instruction which now prevail. We believe, however, that there is a limit of concession
here, in the interest of schools, and our books have not accordingly been reduced to the minimum, but arº
sufficiently full to afford a Thorough and Practical Education to those who depend upon thein for all
they acquire. The difficult attempt to reconcile the popular clamor with a really adequate course has been
brought to a most successful issue in the several series enumerated below, of which the publishers are as justly
proud as of their Standard Course, and predict for them an equal degree of popularity.

THE Rook MARKET.
NEw Yorº, July 1, 1874.
The month has been one of general inactivity
with both booksellers and publishers. The list
of new books embraces a few religious volumes,
fewer semi-scientific and biographical works,
and a much less number than usual at this
season of summer novels. The branches of the
English houses have imported about the usual
number of heavy books, but there has been but
little demand for them.
The new novel which has attracted the great-
est share of attention is Theodore Tilton's Tem-
pest Tossed, issued early in the month by Shel-
don & Co. It is a long but peculiarly interest-
ing narrative of the life of a family on board a
ship which has been burned to the deck, and
which drifts about the southern Atlantic for
years. The only child, a daughter, is born on
the ship on the night she is struck by lightning,
and her masts and rigging burned, being de-
serted by all the crew and passengers but this
family. This child is educated and grows to
womanhood, without ever having seen the land,
or any human being save her father and mother,
and an old colored servant. The plot is a simple
one, but is strikingly original, and the romance
running through the whole is worked out by a
master hand. Across America, lately published
by Sheldon & Co., is a highly readable account
of the frontier and the Pacific Coast, by General
James G. Rusling, whose duties as Army In-
spector called him to those parts of the country.
in 1866 and '67. The most important points of
the extreme West are graphically described, and
the manners and customs of the people at that
date faithfully represented. The author's views
on the Indian question, and his reasons for them.
are not the least interesting portions of the
volume.
Harper & Brothers have published Under the
Trees, a breezy book, by Rev. Samuel Prime, in
which the author appeals to the sympathies of
all lovers of nature and of open air life, in a
series of pleasant talks on birds, dogs, insects,
fishing, gardens, and other topics of a kindred
nature. . . Those who... remember Dr. ... Prime's.
book of last year, I Go a-Fishing, will read this
book, with avidity, and they will not be disap-
pointed. We have also from the Harpers a new
series of sermons from T. De Witt Talmage,
under the title Old Wells Dug Out, which are
vigorous and earnest, and possess considerable
literary excellence ; a new novel from Miss
Braddon, entitled Talcen at the Flood; F. W.
Robinson's Segoul Cousin Sarah, which has al-
ready appeared in the columns of Harper's
Weekly; My Miscellanies, by Wilkie Collins, in
their new uniform edition of his works; and
Miss Mºore, an excellent story for gir s,
by Mrs. Craik (Miss Muloch). Mr. Robinson's
novel is a fair picture of English life, somewhat
overdrawn and sensational, but calculated to
hold the interest of the average novel reader.
My M.scellanies is a series of short stories,
sketches and essays, now collected for the first
time. They are written in an easy, captivating
manner, and will be read with pleasure by the
author's many admirers. The Harpers announce
for the ooming month, The Arctic Adventures of
Captain Tyson; Stanley's book on (oomassie
and Magdala; and novels by Mrs. Oliphant
James De Mille and James Payn.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have issued True fo Him
Ever, a readable love story, portraying Ameri-
can Society; Northern Ballads, by Edward L.
Anderson, a dainty little volume, containing
nine of the best ballads of the Norseland, includ.
ing Lohengrin, all fresh and pretty, if not pro-
found; Sketches by Boz, being the fifteenth volume
of Carleton's illustrated edition of Dickens; and
The Log of Commodore Rollingpin, an illustrated
volume, giving a laughable account of droll
adventures, afloat and ashore, by James H. Car-
ter. Carleton & Co. will publish shortly, Swin-
burne's new work, Bothwell. They have also re-
ceived a new novel from Mrs. Holmes, which
will soon be given to the public.
D. Appleton & Co. have published Wilkes,
Sheridium, Fox: The Opposition Under Ge wrºe III
by W. F. Rae: The Greit Ice Age, by James Geikie.
a new revised edition of Maudsley's Body and
Mind, to which has been added lectures on con-
science and organization, and essays on Hamlet
and Swedenborg; and a novel of considerable
dramatic power and interest, entitled Brockley
226
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
M, or, by J. W. L. In The Great Ice Age, Prof.
Geikie endeavors to give a comprehensive ac-
count of the Glacial Epoch, and to demonstrate
the antiquity of man, who, the author holds,
inhabited Britain before the time of the great
glaciers. It is a scholarly work, and though
eminently scientific, is prepared for popular
reading, in a style at once interesting and plain,
and free from scientific technicalities. It is fully
illustrated by maps, charts and engravings. The
essays on Wilkes, She idan, and Pot are particu-
larly interesting, and in thus presenting to-
gether the lives and deeds of the three most able
opponents of the policy of George the Third,
Mir. Rae has performed a work for which he
deserves the warmest thanks, not only from the
historical student, ut from the general reader,
who will gather from this work, in a few hours
of entertaining reading, information for which
he would have to search elsewhere through
many volumes. Wilkes with his pen, Sheridan
by his brilliant oratory, and Fox by his strength
in debate, exerted an influence for which
Americans should delight to honor them, and
the volume will be widely read here. The Messrs.
Appleton have issued the 13th volume of their
Annual (yclopædia (1873), a comprehensive his-
tory of the events of the year, classified under
their proper headings. Special prominence is
given in this volume to subjects of biography and
necrology, and there are extended memoirs of
Napoleon III., Agassiz, Mill, Chase and Dr. Liv-
ingstone. Among the books nearly ready for
issue by Appleton & Co. are Health and Elwca-
tion, by Henry C. Kingsley, and the fifth and
last volume of Dr. Flint's Physiolºgy of Man.
This volume will treat particularly of special
senses and generation.
Henry Holt & Co. have published a condensed
edition of Richardson's Cla' ºssa Harlºvo’, that
old romance of Lovelace and Clarissa, written
more than a hundred years ago, and praised by
Pope and Dr. Johnson, and Sir Waiter Scott,
Diderot and Rosseau, in short, by everybody who
read novels at that day.. And everybody read
it then, but now when we have scores of good
novel writers, under the lash of the publishers
turning out more new novels every week than
they had then in a year, who can afford to wade
through “twenty-four hundred closely printed
pages" to find out whether Lovelace was a profili-
gate or Clarissa, virtuous P No one, although
it has been the fashion at any time these hun-
dred years for every one to pretend that he
knew all about it, so Mr. C. A. Jones has come
to the rescue and condensed the formidable old
novel into five hundred pages of the airy “Leis-
ure Hour Series” for which he has our warmest
'thanks. Every one can now read it without a
sensation of back-ache, and every one should do
so, if only for the purpose of being able to say in
the future that he has read it. Mr. Jones has
done his work in an admirable manner, eliminat-
ing nothing which is essential to the story, and
preserving the language and punctuation of
what remains, as in the original work.
One of the strongest novels we ever read, and
one which leaves a lasting impression on the
mind is Mose Evans, recently published by Hurd
& Houghton. The scene is laid in the South,
in an out-of-the-way section, full of odd charac-
ters, which the author possesses the happy faculty
of painting to the life. The aristocracy of the
South, with its haughty pretensions, is also rep-
resented in strong contrast with the less showy
and more contented life of the sparsely settled
new country. The hero of the story is one of
nature's nobleman, without culture, save that
from within, whose nobility and strength of
character are brought to the surface by his fall-
ing in love with a daughter of a Charleston
aristocrat. It is a novel which will doubly repay
perusal, for its healthy tone, and for its pictures
of southern life. The author is Rev. William
M. Baker, born in Washington, educated at
Princeton, N. J., and through the war pastor
of a church in Texas, now officiating in South
Boston, Mass. Though in strong sympathy with
the North during the war, he writes most low-
ingly of southern life and character, and his
book will do much toward clearing away the last
remnants of sectional prejudice. He has been
known to readers as the author of the striking
sketches of life in the southwest, under the title
of The New Timothy, and of Inside: A Chronicle
of Secessiºn. Mose Evans will entitle him to a
high place among writers of novels of this class
J. W. Schermerhorn & Co. have published a
Catalºgus Plantarum, a catalogue of the wild
plants, or those growing without cultivation, in
the State of New Jersey, by Oliver R. Willis,
Ph. D. The Flora of New Jersey is somewhat
remarkable in character, and this catalogue will
delight the hearts of botanists. It shows evi-
dence of much pains-taking and contains de-
scriptions of localities; full directions to learn-
ers for collecting, pressing, labeling and preserv.
ing botanical specimens, and descriptions of
suitable apparatus therefor; a directory of the
living botanists of the country; suggestions to
persons commencing the study of botany; and a
full, specific description of all the species of vio-
lets found growing in New Jersey.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have issued Sun-
day-school editions of Lange's Cºmmentary on
Mark ; Alexander's Commentary on Mark; and
Owen’s Commentary on the same book; also cheap
editions in cloth and paper of that queer book
of Verne's, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth,
giving the adventures of a party who entered
the crater of Sneffels, a volcano in Iceland, and,
after exploring the subterranean regions, were
thrown out of Stromboli, in Sicily.
H. L. Hinton has published the second vol-
ume of that interesting work, The humorous
Chap-Books of Scotland, by John Fraser; a
capital story of life at a military school, and of
rambles in the highlands of the Hudson, by Hä.
H., with the title My Comrades’ Adventures 17,
the Highlands; and The Maiden of Treppi, a novel
of Spanish life, from the pen of Paul Heyse.
A. S. Barnes & Co. have published a descrip-
tion of Richfield Springs and vicinity, prepared
by W. T. Bailey, for the double purpose, as he
says in the preface, of preserving an account of
the settlement and growth of the locality for

those who are interested in it, and to supply a
guide to invalids and others who wish to avail
themselves of its mineral waters, or of the facili-
ties for pleasuring which the region affords.
Woolworth, Ainsworth & Co. have issued a
complete report of The Broolchyn Council of 1874,
comprising in full the proceedings, the state-
ments, documents, etc., of the council which
met to consider the standing of Plymouth
Church. Much interest was manifested in the
proceedings at the time, and there are many
who will gladly become the possessor of the re-
port in this complete and handy form.
The National Temperance Society have added
to their list another handsome little volume, by
Mrs. M. A. Holt, entitled The Model Landlord.
The books for the young, issued by this house,
are always commendable for their attractive ap-
pearance. Type, paper, binding and illustra-
tions combine to tempt the little folks to become
better acquainted with their wholesome con-
tentS.
Boston, July 1st, 1874.
There is very little to be said of the publica-
tions of the Boston houses for the month. They
consist mostly of new editions, and reprints
The summer novels and guide books, have as
yet been but little in demand, but the trade
have looked forward hopefully to the present
month, when the summer travel will fully
begin.
Estes & Lauriat have reprinted four good
old novels, which will be new to a large num-
ber of readers, and will be welcomed by those
who read and admired them ten years or more
ago. They are, Rumor, a story artistically
conceived and gracefully told by the author of
the old time novels, Charles Anchester and Counter-
pºrts; Slaves ºf the Ring, by Fred. W. Robinson,
whose books always find appreciative readers ;
A Tangled Skein by Albany Fonblanque, Jr., a
capital story, with an engrossing and ingenious
plot; and Deep Waters, by Anna H. Drury, a
well written story, which cannot fail to interest
and please lovers of fiction. Estes & Lauriat
will soon issue the first volume of the new edi-
tion, which is to comprise ten volumes, of
Campbell's Lives of the Lord Chancellors and
Knights of the Great Seal, edited by Allen Mal-
lory of the New York Bar. The initial volume
contains an introduction devoted to the ori-
gin, functions and jurisdiction of the office
of Lord Chancellor. The body of the volume
co sists of sketches of the lives of the Chan-
cellors made under the Anglo Saxon Kings, and
from the conquest to and including Cardinal
Wolsey. This is a handsome edition on fine,
heavy paper, and well bound. The publishers
also have nearly ready Victor Hugo's Tour on
the Rhine F on Paris to Mayence, which con-
tains much information concerning the legends,
historical events, and antiquities of an interest,
ing portion of Europe ; and Memories of West-
minister Hall, a collection of sketches and anec-
dotes relating to Westminster Hall, its great
judges and famous trials. The work has an
historical introduction by Edward Foss.
From J. R. Osgood & Co., we have Mr. T. B.
Aldrich's charming story, Prudence Palfrey;
and a volume of poems from Mrs. S. M. B.
Piatt, with the title A Voyage to the Fortunate
Isles, and olher Poems. Prudence Palfrey is alto-
gether a very agreeable book. The pictures of
the old New England sea-port town linger
pleasantly in the mind, and the reader gets to
look upon the characters as old acquaintances,
and is surprised to find himself, after the book
is read and thrown aside, anxiously thinking
of their welfare. It is not a great novel, but it
is decidedly a good one. Mrs. Piatt's verses are
not of a common order. They display a vivid
imagination, purity of thought and expression,
and the rythm is smooth and unlabored. Os-
good & Co., have nearly ready The Middle States,
a volume for tourists, similar in plan and style
to their New England, and the second volume
of Henry Wilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave
Power in the United States. This work will be
completed in the third volume.
Lee & Shepard have published Lord of Himself,
a story of Kentucky life thirty or forty years ago,
by F. H. Underwood. Novels of this character,
where the scenes are faithfully drawn as they are
in this book, have an historical character and can
be read with profit, as well as pleasure. Mr. Un-
derwood is favorably known in literature by
his connection with the Atlantic Monthly in
its earlier days, and as the author of Cloud Pic-
tures, and those excellent Hand Books of En-
glish and American Literature. His romance
Lord of Himself, every chapter of which is full
of interest, will make his name as a writer still
better known. His graphic description of a
social life so little known, his clear descriptions,
and scholarly diction, and the care and com-
pleteness which mark the story from begin-
ning to end, make it altogether one of the most
satisfactory novels of the year. Lee & Shep-
ard have also just ready The Columbian Speaker,
a collection of pieces for recitation and decla-
mation, by L. J. Campbell and O. Root, Jr. ;
Senator Schurz's Bºulogy on Charles Sumner,
printed and bound uniform with Sumner's
Works; a collection of readings in prose and
poetry, entitled The Readin-1 (lub, by George
W. Baker; and a volume of poems by J. E. O.
entitled Thurid and other Poems. The writer
is a rising Boston lawyer, who modestly with-
holds more than his initials from the title page.
“Thurid” is a love poem of the Vikings, strong
and full of poetic inspiration, and versifying
talent. The other poems, “ Charity" and
“Goodman John ” are mostly descriptive and
have the touch of the true artist. This house
are holding over a very full list for the Fall
including a Young Fºlk's History of the United
States, by Col. T. W. Higginson. They will also
issue at that time, Miss Trapton's Katharine
Earle, now running through Scribner's 3 a.
new edition of Wose's Manual on Railroad En-
gincering, which will be brought out in one
volume, at a greatly reduced price; and Jenny
June's novel, “for all men and some women,”
with the suggestive title, For Better or Worse.
Loring has issued new editions, in his handy 50
cent series of novels, of The King's Cope, a popu-

lar old English novel of society life; Pique, a
tale of the English Aristocracy; Linnet's Trial,

Virginia F. Townsend. He has also issued
Lulu's Novel, a very clever story from the Ger-
man of Elise Polko, reprinted from Old and New,
where it appeared with the title, She Writes.
Noyes, Holmes & Co., have republished that
curious little book on The Stars and The Earth,
printed anonymously many years ago in En-
gland, and reprinted in 1856 by their prede-
cessors, Crosby & Nichols. Rev. Dr. Hill, then of
Harvard, now of Portland, did it the honor then
to write an introduction for it, and does the
same for it now.
A. Williams & Co., have published John M.
Way's Guide to Moosehead Lake and Norther),
Maine; the annual discourse before the Massa-
chussets Medical Society, June 3d, 1874, by Dr.
Nathan Allen, on the Medical Problems of The

ºf Bostom, in a handsome royal octavo volume;
and The Modern Ornamenter and Interior I/ecora-
tor, an oblong quarto containing illustrations of

ing, by A. B. Boyce. The author is a practical ar-
tist, and believes that he has presented in this
volume “just what is wanted at the present day
by all persons requiring the use of ornaments for
any purpose whatever” although “the chief
object has been to assist the beginner.” Wil-
liams& Co., will soon issue Professor Riiding-
er's, work on The Human Ear, translated by
Dr. C. J. Blake. The subject will be illustrated
by plates made expressly for this edition, which
will be a limited one.
D. Irothrop & Co. have published a new edi-
tion of Dr. Banvard's Plymouth and the Pilgrims,
and will issue new editions of Gethsemane, from
the German of Charlotte Elizabeth Mackenzie;
'lad Tidings; and Seed Time and Hurvest, by
Rev. Dr. Tweedie. The last three books were
formerly on the list of Gould & Lincoln.
William F. Gill & Co. give us one of the best
of the new summer novels. It is A Dangerous
Game, from the pen of Edmund Yates, his first
atory since his visit to this country, and, of
course, giving many of the impressions, our cus-
toms and society made upon him. Aside from
the merits of the ingenious plot, which makes it
one of the best of this author's works, it deserves
and will receive attention from the fact that,
although written by an Englishman, the char-
a "ters are Americans, many of them drawn from
111e, ald easily recognized, and the scenes are
aid mostly in New York. Mr. Lester Wallack,
appears as Mr. Van Buren, Dion Boucicault as
Bryan Duval, and Mr. Theodore Moss as Morris
Jacobs. The book will have an additional inter-
est to many for its glimpses of life among actors
and actresses.
Henry L. Shepard & Co.'s book for the month
is Verne's lowrney to the Centre of the Earth, a
cheap edition, in competition with the New York
publishers of Verne's books Mr. Shepard's
editions of this book and of Meridiana are very
handsome and very cheap. The public care very
little as to who has the right to publish them,
as long as they get the best.
James Campbell has published a very fine edi-
tion of Burnett's translation of Siebold's Amal-
omy of the Invertebrata. The work is well known
by anatomists, and is probably the most com-
plete treatise on the science ever printed. It
has been highly recommended by Prof. Agassiz,
Sillman, and noted zootomists everywhere.
The work is printed on heavy toned paper, and
substantially bound.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1, 1874.
In no branch of business does the demand
regulate the supply more certainly and effec-
tually than in the book trade. There may be
no end to the making of books, but the present
season has demonstrated to the satisfaction of
all concerned, that there is a limit beyond which
their production ceases to be profitable. If,
however, the light demand for books has made
publishers careful as to the number they issue,
it has had the best effect in causing them to
exercise greater care in the selection of those to
be printed, and the very best only of the mate-
rial in hand is given to the public.
Porter & Coates have lately added three new
volumes to their series of novels. Of the nu-
merous editions and cheap reprints of works of
fiction, there is none that better merits the
patronage of the public than the series now in
course of issue under the title of the “Inter-
national Series of Novels.” In addition to the
literary merits of each volume, they are strong-
ly bound and printed on good paper, in excel-
lent type ; making handsome library volumes.
In the latter part of May this house issued
Valentine the Countess, by Carl Detlif (Miss Clara
Bauer), a clever and fascinating novel, display-
ing all the charms of a graceful diction, eleva-
ted thought, brilliant repartee, and power of
character portraiture. It is a novel that may
be introduced with advantage to any house-
hold, as, while affording a few hours of pleas-
ant reading, it also gives a tendency to certain
womanly graces, by giving to the Heroine “Wal-
entine’’ not only the enchanting figure of a fair
Countess, but also the beauty of a noble Souled
woman. No Alternative, by Annie Thomas,
is a very pleasant novel of modern life in an
Euglish provincial town, excellent in tone and
entertaining throughout, one of the best novels
for summer reading of the season. The Vicis-
situdes of Bessie Fairfax, by Holme Lee, will
recommend itself to all who love homest but
cheerful and lively pictures of real life. Beti-
sie's “vicissitudes" at a French boarding
school, where she is sent to be educated, are
calculated to entertain and they are not with-
out their healthful lesson. Porter & Coates have
in preparation a volume of travel in the Arctic
Regions, which promises to be full of interest.
It is written by Major Butler, the author of a
book of travels in Canada, and will bear the
title of The Wild Ninth Band.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers are busy with
books specially adapted to the wants of sum-
Iner readers. They have lately issued The
| Orphan's Trial, or Alone in a Great City, by
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
229
Emerson Bennett, a romance written in the
author's liveliest style, all aglow with startling
incidents; a new and handsome edition of
Eugene Sue's Martin the Foundling; or, the Ad-
ventures of a Valet de Chambre; The Autobiogra-
phy of Edward Wortley Montagu, that inveter-
até scandal monger, who made it his business
to know all about everybody's private life ;
Victor. Hugo's The Brigand; or, The Demon of
the North, containing an excellent portrait of
the author at the age of 72; and a complete,
literal and unabridged translation of Dumas'
Camille. Montagu's Autobiography is certain-
ly a remarkable book. The author's mother,
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, was a most ex-
traordinary woman, and the son evidently in-
herited many of her peculiarities. She is not
spared in the volume, and her love adventure.
with Pope is described at length. The book
also has to deal with scores of noted people
from George the Second to Lady Bolingbroke
and Fanny Shirley. Kings and princes, lords
and ladies, bishops and laymen, are all most
ummercifully handled. The volume is prefaced
by Dr. MacKenzie of the Philadelph a Press.
The Petersons will soon issue a new novel from
Mrs. C. J. Newby, entitled Sunshine and
Shadow, printed from an advanced copy : and
another Cook Book, prepared by Hannah
M. Bouvier, which will be called The National
Coolc Boolc. The publishers claim that the re-
ceipts are simple, concise, and practical, three
most excellent qualifications, and that great
attention has been paid to the department of
cooking exclusively adapted to the sick, and
convalescent, most of the dishes having been
prepared according to the directions of the
most eminent physicians of Philadelphia.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued three good
summer novels, Hulda a pleasant romance,
after the German of Fanny Lewald, by Mrs. A.
L. Wister; The Second Wife, from the German
of E. Marlitt, also by Mrs. Wister; and Olive
Lacey, by Anna Argyle, author of The General's
Daughter. They have also issued the second
volume of the Memoirs of John Quincy Adams,
and the second and concluding volume of
Prescott's Peru, being the third work in their
new edition of Prescott. This volume gives the
history from the time of the crowning of Inca
Manco, in 1534, to the settlement of the country
in 1550, and includes an appendix of original
and translated documents. The other new
books from this house are A History of New
Sweden, or the Settlement on the River Dela-
ware, by the Provost of the Swedish churches
in America, Israel Acrelius, translated with an
introduction and notes, by Rev. Dr. William
M. Reynolds, and published under the joint
auspices of the Historical Societies of Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware; two new volumes in the
handsome edition of Bulwer's novels, Godolphin
and Paul Clifford; The Mambi Land or Adven-
tures of a Herald Correspondent in Cuba, by
James J. O'Kelly; and Morford's Short Trip Guide
to America, for 1874. Mr. O'Kelly's book is an ex-
ceedingly well written and interesting account
of his adventures in the Island of Cuba, which he
visited as a correspondent of the New York
Herald This edition, the fourth, of Morford's
Short Trip Guide, contains all the important
features of the previous editions, and some valu-
able additions, including a new Virginian Tour,
and an Off Route and Minor Index, valuable
for finding places not on the regular routes.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger's handsome
edition of Emerson Bennett's stirring novels of
American life are meeting with excellent success.
The initial volumes, The Outlaw's Daughter, and
Völleta Linden, are both works of great merit,
and the white paper, clear type, and rich covers,
in green, blue or buff cloth, with black and gold
ornamentation, place them among the prettiest
books of the season. This house have added to
their list An Essay Contributing to a Philosºphy
ºf Literature, by B. A. M., and a new edition,
revised, of that useful little book Kahn's Ad-
ministrators' Account Book, which gives all the
necessary instruction how to settle an estate.
Henry Carey Baird announces for early pub-
lication A Practical Treatise on the Manufacture
of Colors for Painting from the French of Ver-
gand, Riffault and Toussaint, comprising the
origin, definition, and classification of colors,
the treatment of raw materials, the newest pro-
cesses for the preparation of all kinds of paint
and the necessary apparatus, and directions for
its use. It will be a large and handsome volume
containing upwards of eighty engravings.
Lindsay & Blakiston have issued the sixth
edition of Biddle's Materia Medica. Although
the fifth edition was issued but little more than
a year ago, it is now exhausted, but the demand
for the work stills continues. In the present
edition many of the therapeutical articles have
been re-written, the chemical descriptions re-
modelled, the new chemical notation adopted,
and entirely new matter introduced. It contains
as in the former editions, illustrations of im-
portant plants and diagrams of instruments.
We have received a copy of “The World's
Edition” of The Great Presbyterian Conflict, pub-
lished by George McDonald & Co., Chicago. It
contains a full account of the trial of Prof.
Swing, an outline of the circumstances preced-
ing the trial, pulpit sketches of Profs. Swing
and Patton, by Chas. L. Thompson, and the
fourteen sermons upon which the prosecution
based its charges. It contains portraits of both
belligerents. -
Thomas W. Dunton & Co., of Syracuse, New
York, have published another reply to Dr. Clarke
under the title of Woman's Education and Wo-
man's Health. It is written by Professor George
F. Comfort, of the Syracuse University, and Mrs.
Anna Manning Comfort, M. D. The authors ac-
cuse Dr. Clarke of too hasty generalization, and
of incorrectness and lack of scientific precision
in making his physiological arguments, and ably
but briefly, present what they consider the real
causes of the ill health of American women,
which is attributed by Dr. Clarke to their being
treated in the schools in “the boys' way.” The
book is in many respects an interesting and
valuable addition to what has previously been
written on the co-education of the sexes. .

THE AMERICAN BOOKS ELLERS’ GUIDE.
THE Book TRADE [JNion.
The agent of the Union has canvassed the
Eastern trade very thoroughly, and informs
us that he has been everywhere well received
and encouraged to hope for success. He
confidently expects a large attendance at
the meeting of the Union at Put-in-Bay,
Ohio, on the 21st, 22d, and 23d inst. The selec-
tion of a place for that meeting, so far away
from our publishing centres, was injudicious,
but it is no less the duty of our publishers
...to attend. The reforms which the Union
are seeking to effect are directly in the in-
terests of the publishers. Nearly every one
of our publishers is willing to acknowledge
the demoralizing influence of professional
discounts, yet many of them are forced, or |
think they are forced, by the custom of their
competitors, not only to give discounts to
the profession but to discount to everybody.
A. does it because B. does it, and B. con-
tinues it because A. will not give it up.
It is so also with the large retail prices and
the excessive discounts of which the mem-
bers of the Trade Union complain. Periodi-
cal attempts at reform have been made
among the publishers themselves; but they
have always failed, and the evils have in-
creased and exerted a more harmful influence
on the trade year by year. The failures have
generally been attributed to the unwilling-
ness of each publisher to commit himself to
any stated policy without a full knowledge
of the opinions of the others. Now, what the
publishers have been unable to accomplish
for themselves, the retailers have undertaken,
and they ask the co-operation of the publish-
ers that what is done, may be done wisely
and well.
The present movement has assumed such
proportions and awakened so general an in-
terest, that its success is only a question of
time, and it rests with the publishers how
long that success shall be deferred. There
has been a very general belief among the re-
tail dealers that the publishers have a pecu-
niary interest in underselling and generally
breaking down prices, that they annually
rob the retail dealer of large sales by their
practice of advertising, and sending books by
mail, and this belief has been strengthened
by the inactivity of the publishers whenever
reform measures have been proposed,
whereas no one knows better than the pub-
lishers themselves, that from underselling
and excessive discounts, they are the parties
who receive the greatest injury, and that the
profits on the books sent by mail do not pay
for the advertising. It will pay every pub-
lishing house in the East to have a represen-
tative at the coming meeting at Put-in-Bay,
if only for the purpose of correcting these
false impressions, and establishing a better
feeling than now exists between the two
branches of the trade.
If the publishers who have expressed
themselves as in favor of reform, and anxious
to give the retailer the support and assis-
tance he is fairly entitled to, are in earnest,
they will each have a representative at that
convention. Matters will be discussed there
which will directly affect the relations be-
tween publishers and retailers, and the in-
terests of both. It is highly important, then,
that the publishers should be present to take
part in the discussions, and to direct them to
a proper issue. It will pay all who are inter-
ested in reform to be present.

DAYTON, OHIO, June 20, 1874.
EDITOR OF AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS' GUIDE:
Dear Sir :-We send you report of Committee
on Railroad and Entertainment for publication
in next Guide. Our cause is progressing finely ;
the Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis trade are
all with us; the larger Eastern cities have re-
sponded, and we think, from present indications,
that we shall have a large gathering at Put-in-
Bay. -
Yours very truly,
A 'F. PAYNE.
REPORT OF £oMMITTEE ON RailRoAD
f ARE AND £NTERTAINMENT.
At this season of the year, railroad ticket of-
fices in all parts of the country, that sell cou-
pon tickets, have on sale round trip tickets to
Put-in-Bay at excursion rates, a little more
than half price. Delegates, by exchange of
tickets at Put-in-Bay, can return by a different
route. Besides these rates to the general public,
some roads have agreed to special rates for this
convention.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad agrees to
carry passengers to and from the convention at
two cents per mile each way, if round trip tick-
ets are taken, also will carry Western and
Southern delegates from the convention to the
Eastern cities, and return them at as low, or
lower rates, than the above mentioned, giving
them any desired time to remain in the Eastern
cities to do their trading.
The New York Central & Hudson River
Railroads will, at that time, have very low com-
peting through and return rates, which will
perhaps afford as cheap a line of travel as any.
The Toledo, Wabash & Western Railroad
will sell round tickets at a small fraction over
half rates. This is the line to be used in com-
ing from southern Illinois, St. Louis and further
West.
The Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland Rail-
road is convenient for the Cincinnati and South-
ern trade, and will carry the passengers on
round trip tickets at a little over half rates. It
is understood that Southern roads will bring
the trade from New Orleans, Memphis, Nash-

ville, Louisville and other southern cities at the
. rates, running in connection with this
TO8,Ol. -
The Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Douis Rail-
road and its branches, will send certificates
through the chairman of this committee to all
dealers along its lines, which will enable them
to buy round trip tickets at two cents per mile
each way.
The Pennsylvania Railroad will at that time
have round trip excursion rates.
The railroads centering in Chicago, being
compelled by law to carry passengers at low
rates, will not make special terms. Some deal-
ers on lines far west of Chicago may avail them-
selves of round trip rates, and save money.
The Michigan Southern and the Michigan
Central will have low through rates, extending
to the eastern cities and return.
Booksellers desiring to attend the convention
are requested to make an effort to secure for
themselves low rates on round trip tickets, and
in most cases they will have no difficulty.
Railroad men inform the Chairman of the
Committee that if there is a large attendance
there will be railroad agents at the meeting
from the leading roads carrying passengers
East, who will offer exceedingly low figures
from Put-in-Bay to the East and return. It
may prove to be best not to buy tickets further
East than the convention, then take the chances
of railway competition from there East.
Booksellers able to aid in securing low rates
are hereby solieited to communicate with the
Chairman of this Committee. For the good of
the cause, efforts should be made to induce a
large attendance, by securing the lowest possi-
ble rates of travel from all points. -
The Committee have secured the reduced rate
of $2.50 per day for delegates at the Put-in-Bay
House. Parties wishing to secure rooms, should
write soon to Sweeney, West & Co., proprietors.
? Yours truly,
THOS. D. HUBBARD, Chairman.
CoLUMBUs, O., June 15, 1874.
Discounts on School Books
At the meeting of the Publishers’ Board of
Trade, held June 10th and 11th in this city,
a resolution was adopted providing that the
maximum rates of discount be on regular
sales, 33% per cent.; on introduction, 25 per
cent.; on exchanges, 50 per cent., and on Sales
from branch houses 25 per cent.” The res-
olution was afterward, however, rescinded on
the plea that it would bring unjustifiable
hardships on houses holding certain con-
tracts. Since the meeting, one of the largest
houses represented in the Board have adopted
the rejected rates, and will send out their re-
vised price list to the trade immediately.
The reduction from old retail prices is about
10 per cent, and the new “dozen price’ is
made 20 per cent. from the new retail price.
Their discounts, from the “dozen price” vary
from 5 per cent to 163 per cent, according to
the amount cf the bill. This independent
action of a leading house, is a step in the right
direction, which will win the hearty approba-
tion of The Book Trade Union, as it is in di-
rect compliance with Article 4, adopted at
their meeting in Cincinnati. The example
will probably be followed, with or without a
rule of the Board, by other publishers of
school books.

Shakspearian reader, whose illness and destitute
circumstances were announced some weeks ago,
died in London on the 19th of June. He was,
born in 1828, and was the only child of Captain
Robert Higgin of Lancaster, England, his.

don, and became very popular as a pulpit ora-
tor. He afterward became a convert to the
Roman Catholic Church, and soon after began
to read in public, and attained a wide reputa-
tion as an elocutionist. His last visit to this
country was not a success financially, and he
did not appear in England after his return.

pal works being Christ in Life and Life in Christ,
Shalcespeare's Hºme in New Place, and a novel
with the title Blount Tempest. -
JULES JANIN.
This celebrated French critic, author and
journalist, died in Paris on the 19th ult. He
was born at St. Etienne, in 1804; received a
classical education at the local college, studied
law, and for a time supported himself by teach-
ing. He commenced his career as a journalist,
by writing for many of the smaller theatrical
papers, where his brilliant articles attracted the
attention of the Figaro and he was soon added to
its corps of writers, He was for a time editor of
Quotidienne, he tournded in conjunction with others

atic critic of the Journal des Debuts, where
he wielded, unscrupulously, an immense influ-
ence until his death. He also published several
romances and works on art, and Wrote a great
number of treatises, essays, and introductions,
but he was best known as a critic, and his feuille-
tons under the high sounding title of . Histoire
de la Litterature will be considered his chief work,
by which he will be known in the future. . A
month before his death a relative died, leaving
him a fortune of two million francs, but he was
too ill to be informed of the event.
JULES DE SAINT-FELIX.
This distinguished French novelist died at
Paris on the first of June, at the age of sixty-
eight. His first book was a volume of verses
issued in 1830, since which time he has written
a score or more of novels, all of the sensational
school, and of considerable merit. He also pub-
lished Les Tribun's, a series of sketches of the
orators of the Legislative Assembly in 1849, and
a Life of Napoleon II., King of Rome, in 1853.
He has been credited with having assisted
the elder Dumas in the preparation of his
novels.

Trow's New York City directory, for 1874, is
issued. It is a volume of 1,636, pages and con-
tains 229,603 names, an increase of 1,342 over
the number last year, mostly due to the an-
nexed portion of Westchester County. It con-
. a new map of the city, including the new
W8 rCiB.
In view of the study of the International
Lessons, from July to December, 1874, Messrs.
RANDOLPH & Co. purpose issuing that portion
of The Biblical Museum on Mark in a neat and
inexpensive form. ComPER GRAY's ingenious
plan of bringing into small space, the essence
of criticism upon the New Testament, will no
doubt commend this book to many.
Mr. T. Whittaker has a new book, by Lucy
Ellen Guernsey, in press, entitled Lady Rosa-
mond's Book, being a second volume of the Cor-
bet Chronicles, and a continuation of Lady Betty's
Governess. Miss Guernsey's writings have be-
come quite popular among those readers who
are not given over to sensationalism. The book
will be ready in the early fall.
Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati, have pub-
lished the Township Officer's Guide, giving in a
compact form the laws of Ohio, relating to town-
ships. . As the volume is intended for non-pro-
fessional readers, the statutes are not given en-
tire, but only their substance, with abundant
references. The book is a very useful one to those
who are interested in the administration of
township affairs.
Colby & Rich, Boston, will soon issue a work
entitled Mediums, and Mediumship, from the
French of Allan Kardec, translated expressly
for this house by Mrs. Emma A. Wood, of
Washington. They have also in press, and will
soon issue a pamphlet entitled A Défence of
Modern Spiritualism, by Alfred R. Wallace, F.
R. S. of London, also a pamphlet entitled Re-
vivals—Their Cause and Cure, by Hudson Tuttle.
The twelve lectures on the History of Peda-
gogy delivered last summer in Cincinnati by
Prof. W. N. Hailman, are published in a neat
little volume with flexible covers, by Wilson,
Binkle & Co. The author does not claim for
the lectures that they present a complete history
of pedagogy, but they sketch concisely the
growth of the leading principles in education.
Notwithstanding the modest claims of the au-
thor, the book contains much to interest teach-
ers and all who are giving any attention to edu-
cational matters.
The volume of sermons of David Swing,
under the title of Thoughts for To-day, re-
cently published by Jansen, McClurg & Co.,
of Chicago, has directed general attention to-
ward the eloquent preacher, and created a gen-
eral interest in what was before scarcely more
than a local sensation, his trial for heresy be-
fore the Presbytery of Chicago. A full account
of that trial, just issued by Jansen, McClurg &
Co. is therefore very welcome. It is edited by
a committee appointed by the Presbytery, and
contains the charges, the reply, the testimony,
and all the proceedings bearing upon the ques-
tion, all taken from the full notes of the steno-
graphers.

clude all the journals sent to England by Mr.

ingstone's death, and the journey home with
his remains will be issued about the same
time.
... Mr. Swinburne's new tragedy, Bothwell, makes
a volume of 532 pages. It is more carefully

which he paints in the most unenviable colors.

cipally of twelve characters corresponding to

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
The Managers of The American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no dis-
appointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reference;
therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making remittances,
always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by mail is at risk
of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. ...We do not make any additional charges for packing or carting
in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.--Small orders receive the
same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.- We do not send New Papers and Magazines on sale to those
who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, wriless they order us not to do so. We
believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as published,to booksellers, unless specially
ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to customers free upon application. 9th.-Let-
ters, with full signature and address, should be enclosed with all remittances 10th.—We enclose bill daily to costumers
having parcels by Express, to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-Newsdealers pay the Postage on their Packages of
Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rates of postage as if paid quarterly in advance.
POSTAGE TO NEWS DEALIEIRS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. | PAPER COWERED NOVELS, same rates as Magazines.
MAGAZINES, Two Cents for every Four Ounces. BOUND BOOKS, Two Cents for every Two Ounces.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited with
what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly subscrip-
tions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in advance. Upon
finding out what papers you can dispose of you make out a list or order (enclosing the wholesale price per this list, to
cover one week's papers) similar to this form:

DEALERS IN SCHOOL BOOKS.
S C H () () I., MATERIA LS,
The School Edition of the EDUCATIONAL CATALOGUE, for the FALL TERM
year, will be issued during the latter part of July, and will contain an entirely new, complete
classified Reference List of School-Books, with retail prices for 1874–1875.
The list will be arranged as in the number of last summer, according to special branches ;
such as Algebra, Arithmetic, Astronomy, Composition, Dictionaries, French, Geography,
German, Greek, History, Latin, Philosophy–Natural and Mental, Primers, Readers,
etc., etc., with nuumerous cross-references. Thus information on any branch can be obtained at
a glance.
The names of the Publishers will be indicated by initials, to which a separale key will be suppl.ed
for special use of Dealers e
The Educational Catalogue, published last summer, was circulated by most of the leadng
firms, and long after it was out of print inquiries for it were received from all quarters. The
experience gained from that result will make the forthcoming one superior to any guide to edu-
cational literature ever published for the use of American Booksellers and Teachers.
In making up special orders for the Educational Catalogue Booksellers should bear in
mind that it possesses more than telnporary value, and will be called for during the Whole year.
TERMS FOR EDITIONS.
\;<> Cash remillance must invariably accompany each order.
WITH SOLE IMPRINT OF BOOKSELLER, AND STITCHED.
lOO copies, Eº gº gº * } $5.00 | 1,000 Copies, * --> tº gº tº $40.00
The last page will be left blank, unless a stereotyped or electrotyped page, uniform in size
with the PUBLISHER's WEEKLY, shall be sent before going to press. If we are to make the plate, it
will be charged extra at the mere cost of composition and electrotyping, viz., $3.25. These rates
are charged uniformly for any page that does not contain more matter than can be set up in
nonpareil. Copy should be sent with the order.
Mode of shipping must be stated, when ordering the CATALOGUE.
N O T | C E .
As numerous orders for editions were received, last summer, after the issue of the Educa-
tional Catalogue, we again call attention to the necessity of being in possession of all orders on
or before July 10th. We must be able to determine on the quantity of the paper that may be
required for printing several weeks before going to press
T , , In order to avoid wnnecessary correspondence, we beg to say that, in justice to our advertisers, we must decline print-
wng any editions “w-thout advertisements,” before September It is mainly owing to the support of advertisements that
the “Catalogue " can be compuled and printed at the low rates at which it is offered to the trade. As, however, no
wholesale price advertisements are accepted, the additional lists of publishers and manufacturers cannot possibly depre-
ciate the value of the paper, but, on the contrary, will secure to the dealer additional chances for Sales.
All communications concerning the EDUCATIONAL CATALOGUE Slſould be addressed
to F. LEYPoLDT, Publisher, P. O. Box 4295, New York.
All orders will be filled in succession, according to their dates.

A Charming Summer Book,
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
IWINVIII, MMII.
WITH A PREFACE BY
R_SHELTON MACKENZIE, LL. D.,
Literary Editor of the “Philadelphia Press.”
The Lyndon Evening Post in a review of it, says:
“The Autobiography of Edward Wortley Montagu is the
most remarkable book that has been given to the public
for many years. The author was the only son, of Lady
Mary Wortley Montagu, whose career was, perhaps, one of
the most extraordinary of any woman in the annals of
England during the last two hundred years. The most cele:
brated men and women of England, during the reign of
George the First, are introduced into this work. Mr. Mon-
tagu met them frequently, knew them well, and has de-
scribed them as he tound them. There is no flatter of the
great in his narrative ; for he tears the mask from the face
of vice. The autobiography introduces Kings and Princes,
Politicians and Poets, Men of Law and Men of Letters. In
fact, it gives life like portraits of dead men and women,
among whom will be found George the Second–Frederick,
Prince of Wales—Lady Mary Wortley Montagu–Sarah,
Duchess of Marlborough—The Earl of Chesterfield—Wał-
pole—Fielding—Colley Cibber—bºope, whose absurd love
adventure with Lady Mary is described at length—Howard,
Earl of Suffolk—Savage—Lord Lyttelton—Bully Rooke—
Lord Scarborough—Mully Seagrave—The Duchess of Mun-
chester–Dr. Young—Lady Vane–Lord Patmore and his
wife, The Duchess of Leeds—Kitty Hyde, afterward, the
Duchess of Queensberry—Lady Betty Molyneux—Lady
Fanny Shirley–Windhaun-Pulteny—Lady Bolingbroke—
Dodington—Lady Archibald Hamilton—Sir Willian Yonge
—Toul Warrington —Hogarth— Congreve— Gay-–Prior—
Fox, afterward the celebrated Lord Holland–Lord Hervey
—The Duke of Kingston—Bishop Burnett—Sir Richard
Steele–Lady Bella Bentiuck–The profligate , Duke of
Wharton, etc., etc.” It is published in one large duodecimo
volume of near six hundred pages, bound in morocco cloth,
full gilt back, price $1.75.

THE ORPHAN's TRIALS ; OR ALONE IN A GREAT
CITY, by Emerson Bennett, has been running through
the columns of the Philadelphia Saturday Nignt,

ated a great sensation, and has proved itself to
be one of the most popular novels that has ever
been run through that paper. It is published
this day in book form by T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphia. The Editors of the
Suturday Night, in speaking of it editorially,
said : “If Emerson Bennett had never written
his many delightful and thrilling stories of hor-
der life, of prairie scenes, and Indian warfare, this
story of “THE ORPHAN's TRIALS ; or, ALoNE IN A
GREAT CITY,” would place his name on the record as
One of the best Of American novelists. The scenes
of this most captivating novel are laid in the city of
New York, and gives a true picture of life as it exists
in the crowded city. We do cordially recommend this
book for its excellent moral. t is one that should
be circulated, for it must do good.”

A Novel by THEODORE DAVIES, one of the brightest of the sketch writers on the New York dailies.
One vol. 12mo, fancy cloth, $1.50; paper, $1.00.
It is seldom that a person who has moved in the highest circles of metropolitan society, as the author of
“Losing to Win” evidently has, develops that indefatigable artistic tendency and that capability of continued
laborious effort necessary to the construction of a book. To these prerequisites nature has added, in the case of
Mr. DAVIIES, an unmistakable genius for plots and dramatic situations. Mr. DAVIES's reputation among the litera-
teurs of New York was made by a series of brilliant articles which contributed largely to enhance the reputation
of the New York World in its brightest days. As one might expect, his book is bright, fresh, and original.
These Books will be ready from October 10th to 15th.

THE Rook MARKET,
NEW YORK, October 1, 1874.
The long-awaited busy season is upon us,
and bookmakers and booksellers are made
happy and the reviewers sad. True, the pre-
dictions of those who prophesied a season of
unexampled activity have not yet been ful-
filled ; but business has been steady and fair,
and the books, by Christmas, will make a
favorable showing. The rules adopted at Put-
in-Bay have been in force very generally dur-
ing the month, with no marked effect as yet,
except the annoyance which the change has
occasioned to some of the greatest sinners,
who, we are happy to say, show a true repent-
ance by their determination to enforce the
new rules at whatever cost. New books to
suit every variety of taste have flowed in a
steady stream from the presses of the pub-
lishers, science, religion, and fiction each re-
ceiving its share of attention,-and a large
number of important volumes, including some
from our most popular American authors, are
nearly ready. The children will receive their
share of juveniles for the holidays, but new
art books of the costly style will be scarce.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. issued, early in
the month, a new Verne book, in attractive
binding, with forty-two illustrations, contain-
ing his two, stories, A Floating City, and The
Blockade Runners. The first is a drama of a
trip on the Great Easterm across the ocean,
including also New York and Niagara Falls.
The second is also a “sea yarn,” relating the
incidents of a trip from Glasgow to Charles-
ton, the rescue of a prisoner, and the return.
Both stories are stamped with the writer's
genius, full of vivid details, quite as interest-
ing as his other stories, but unlike them
in that they both come within the bounds of
possibility. Since our last letter the Scrib-
ners have also issued The Earth as Modified by
EIuman Action, by our Minister to Italy,
George P. Marsh, which is a recast and exten-
Sion of the author’s well-known Man in Na-
ture, an important addition to their library
of Theology and Philosophy, in Dr. J. J. Van
Oosterzee's Christian Dogmatics, a work which
displays much learning and ability ; the com-
pleting volume (the fifth) of Dr. Curtius’ His-
tory of Greece; in the epochs of History, The
Thirty Years' War, covering the years from
1618 to 1648, by Samuel R. Gardiner; to be
followed shortly by The Beginning of the Mid-
dle Ages, by Dean Church of St. Paul’s ; and a
volume of lectures on Art, by Professor Tor-
rey, of the University of Vermont, under the
title of A Theory of Fine Art. A new edition
of Jowett’s Dialogues of Plato has also been
issued at two-thirds the former price, and a
cheaper edition of Craik's English Literature
is promised. Of the announcements by this
house, the most important is a new story in
verse, by Dr. Holland, entitled The Mistress of
the Manse,which is said by those who have been
favored with a look at the MS. to be as full of
homely beauties as Kathrina and Bitter Sweet,
but more philosophical, dealing with many of
the perplexing social questions of the day.
Mr. George Smith's account of his Eaplora-
tions in Nineveh, Assyria, and Babylonia, will be
published at an early day under a special ar-
rangement with the author; and an interest-
ing book of travel is also promised in Notes of
a Journey in the Russian Provinces in 1873, by
Eugene Schuyler, Secretary of the American
Legation at St. Petersburg. The new volume
of the Bric-a-Brac series will contain Méri-
mée's Letters and Twenty-Five Years of My
Life, by Lamartine. The children are to have
a volume of Rhymes and Jingles from Mrs.
Dodge; and the older folks, Myths of the Rhine,
by Saintine, now first translated by Professor
Schele De Vere, to be embellished with 150
illustrations by Doré, and brought out in
superb style. Stanley's How I Found Living-
stone, with the addition of a new chapter,
bringing down the record of the explorer to
the time of his death, as far as the data now
accessible will permit, will be given to the
trade this month.
A. Denham & Co. have brought out in
three handsome volumes, a new edition of
326
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
the works of John Hookham Frere, with a
memoir, which fills the first volume, by his
nephew, Sir Bartle Frere. The second volume
contains his Original Works and Minor Trans-
lations, the third, his Translations from Aris-
tophanes. There are no works so deserving
that are so little known as those of this au.
thor. His original productions in both prose
and verse are of no common merit; but his
scholarship and literary talent are better dis-
played in his translations of the plays of
Aristophanes, which are unquestionably the
best ever made. Lovers of comedy will find
the plays delightful reading, all the fanciful
humor of the Athenian genius being carefully
preserved, if not heightened, in the render-
IIlg.
#. P. Putnam's Sons have published a time-
ly book of general interest on the German
Universities, by Professor Hart, of Cornell. |
The author says that while much has been
written in a fugitive way upon university life
in Germany, no one has heretofore told in a
plain, straightforward narrative, how he him-
self passed his time at such a university,
what he studied, and what he accomplished.
This Professor Hart has done, the book being
mainly a narrative of his personal experience,
which he considers a sample of German
student life. The work also contains valu-
able statistical information, and a comparison
of the German, English, and American sys-
tems of higher education. The writer's quali.
fications for making such a comparison, will
secure for the work much attention. The
other books just issued by this house are Dr.
Jacobi's Infant Diet, revised and enlarged by
Mary Putnam Jacobi, M.D.; and a fanciful
fairy book, by Mrs. Jane G. Austin, entitled
Moonfolk, “a true account of the home of the
fairy tales,” daintily illustrated by W. J. Lin-
ton. Among the Trees, a poem by William
Cullen Bryant, which appeared in The Maga
many years ago, but has never been publish-
ed in book form, will be reprinted for the
holidays, with illustrations by Jervis McEntee.
A book from Bayard Taylor on Egypt and Ice-
land, made up from the Tribune letters, is
nearly ready, and in the “Handy Book” series
there will be a volume on the subject of in-
terest to everybody, viz., How to make Momey,
by George Cary Eggleston, late editor of the
Plearth, amd Home. An illustrated edition of
Mrs. Hawthorne's Notes in England and Italy,
‘will be issued, and a reprint of Bastiat's
Sophisms of Protection. The Putnams have
again become the publishers of Irving's works.
It will be remembered that previous to 1869,
the works of the genial author appeared with
the imprint of this house for twenty years.
At the date mentioned the plates were leased
to the Lippincott's for five years. That term
having expired, they have returned to the
old publishers.
Dodd & Mead have issued Captain Kidd, in
Abbott’s “Pioneer and Patriot ” series, to be
followed shortly by Paul Jones; another pleas-
ing English story by Edward Garrett, with
the title By the Still Waters; and a new novel,
just ready, from the pen of Rev. E. P. Roe.
The latter, entitled The Opening of the Chest-
mut Burr, has been running as a serial in the
Weekly Graphic, and has been warmly praised
by all who have read it. Abbott's Captain
Kidd is a fair history of the life of that
“ bold buccaneer,” and of his most noted con-
temporaries, of abundant interest to those
who like sea stories, but divested of much of
the romance which clings to his name. The St.
Nicholas story, What might have been Evpected,
by Frank R. Stockton, is promised at an early
day; also a volume of addresses to young
men, by Dr. Mark Hopkins, of Williams Col-
lege, of whom the students are fond of call-
ing Mark, the perfect man ; and a new edition
of Dana’s Corals and Coral Islands.
The most important volume from the Har-
pers is a work of nearly five hundred pages,
on The Gemesis of the New England Churches,
by Dr. Leonard Bacon. The author begins
with the primitive church, traces its growth
and history through the Reformation to 1628,
the time of the founding of the Puritan colony
in Massachusetts. He carefully points out the
difference between the Puritans and the Pil-
grims, and the work is an important addition to
church history, being thorough, and showing
abundant evidence of careful study and pa-
tient research. The most interesting portion
of the volume to the general reader is prob-
ably the account of the adventures of the Pil-
grims in their repeatedly foiled attempts to
leave England. An account of their voyage
across the ocean is also given, and of the first
few years in their new home. In fiction, we
have from the Harpers, Salem, a tale of New
England and her delusions in the seventeenth
century, by D. R. Castleton, announced as
“strictly authentic in historical detail; ” and
a bright and pretty story, Sylvia's Choice, by
Mrs. Craik, full of charming pictures of home
life. As a writer of fiction Mrs. Craik has
graces which are peculiarly her own, and her
novels always find a large circle of admirers.
We have also a new edition of Mill's System
of Logic, reprinted from the last London edi-
tion (the eighth); a new edition of Barnes'
Motes on TheSSalonians, Timothy, Titus, and
Philemon, and Prairie and Forest, a fascinat-
ing book of sporting adventures, by Parker
Gilmore, giving descriptions of the game in
North America, and the personal experiences
of a hunter in pursuit of it. The illustrations
are in keeping with the text, and add very
much to the attractiveness of the volume.
Early in the month are promised Mr. Mac-
Gahan's Campaigning on the Oaw8, and the
long announced Popular History of Germany,
by Charlton E. Lewis.
J. B. Ford & Co. have published a new
series of Beecher's Yale Lectures on Preach-
&ng ; Beecher's novel of New England life,
Norwood, formerly published by Scribner,
and for some months out of print; a novel of
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
327
Southern life by Henry Churton, entitled
Toinette; and two books for sportsmen, Field,
Cover, and Trap Shooting, and American Wild
Fowl Shooting, the former by Captain A. H.
Bcgardus, the latter by Joseph W. Long.
Zoinette is a story of slave life and emancipa-
tion, in which the hero, after being stricken
several times with blindness and being nursed
by his slave, rises above the pride of race
and marries her. American Wild Fowl Shoot-
2ng is announced by the publishers as the
only book of the kind in the English lan-
guage. It is of practical value to sports-
men, treating of the habits of wild game-
fowl, and the various methods of decoying
and shooting them, the training of dogs, etc.
Captain Bogardus is good authority on Field,
Cover, and Thap Shooting, and his name is
sufficient to recommend his book. It has
been very ably edited by Charles J. Foster,
for many years sporting editor of Wilkes'
Spirit of the Times. Among the announce-
ments of J. B. Ford & Co. are a collection of
the sketches and tales of Mrs. Amelia E. Barr,
under the title of Romances and Realities; a
volume of Educational Reminiscences and Sug-
gestions, from Miss Catharine E. Beecher;
The Life and Times of Sir Philip Sidney, by
Mrs. S. M. Davis; and Halliday’s story for the
children, of The Little Street-Sweeper. Profes-
sor Raymond’s fairy book, Hoity Toity, The
Poetry of Pets, by Sarah Bridget Stebbins;
and a number of other handsome juveniles
will be ready in November.
G. W. Carleton & Co.'s illustrated edition
of Dickens' works is now completed by the
issue of the Child’s History of England, the
twentieth volume of the edition. The new
novels from this house are A Fatal Passion,
translated from the French, a work of the
extreme French school, full of horrible situa-
tions and terrible catastrophes; and Tested,
by Celia Gardner, a gushing, sentimental love
story, with the scene laid mainly in Rhode
Island. Josh Billing's Almamaa, for 1875 is
also announced as ready. The books pro-
mised for October are the story of Tom Old
Maids, by Julia P. Smith, the author of The
Widow Goldsmith's Daughter; a work of a
more serious character on the Identity of
Primitive Christianity and Modern Spiritualism,
by Dr. Eugene Crowell; and what is good
news to the novel readers, if advance orders
are an Indication, a new story from Mrs. Mary
Jane Holmes, with the title West Lawm.
Robert Carter & Brothers have published a
number of pretty and appropriate books for
children, including Rosalie's Pets, by Johanna
H. Mathews; Scepters and Crowns, by the au-
thor of The Witle, Wide World ; and Doors
Outward, by the author of Win and Wear.
These authors never fail to please the chil-
dren, who are always made better as well
as happier by their books. The Carters have
also issued the second volume of Donald
Frazer's Lectures on the Bible, and Christian
Theology for the People, by Rev. Dr. Willis
Lord, a large octavo of 600 pages, in which
the various Christian doctrines and beliefs
are treated in plain and simple language for
the popular reader. The topics are most ad-
mirably arranged and classified, and while
the scholarly ability of the writer is apparent
on every page, “all matter suitable only for
scholars,” he says, “has been excluded.”
When technical terms are used, and words
or sentences from foreign tongues, they are
at once explained. The most important an-
nouncement from the Carters is Dr. McCosh’s
Scottish Philosophy, which will be ready early
this month. The full title is The Scottish
Philosophy, Biographical, Eaſpository, Critical,
from Hutcheson to Hamilton. Prominent in
the list of biographical sketches are those of
Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, Adam
Smith, Henry Home (Lord Karnes), Thomas
Reid, James Beattie, Adam Ferguson, Dugald
Stewart, Archibald Alison, Thomas Brown,
Francis Jeffrey, Sir James Mackintosh, Lord
Brougham, Thomas Chalmers, Prof. Wilson,
and Sir William Hamilton. Dr. McCosh, in
his preface, says, “This work has been to me
a labor of love. The gathering of materials
for it and the writing of it have afforded me
great pleasure. I publish it as the last and
only remaining means of testifying my re-
gard for my country—loved all the more be-
cause I am now so far from it—and my coun-
try’s philosophy, which has been the means
of stimulating thought in so many of Scot-
land’s sons. The English-speaking public,
British and American, has been listening to
divers forms of philosophy, to Coleridge, to
Kant, to Hegel, to Comte, and to Berke-
ley, and is now inclined to a materialistic
psychology. Not finding permanent satisfac-
tion in any of these, it is surely possible that
it may grant a hearing to the sober philosophy
of Scotland. I have tried to make my work
a contribution to what may be regarded as a
new department of science, the History of
Thought, which is quite as important as the
history of wars, of commerce, of literature,
or of civilization.”
E. P. Dutton & Co. have published a capi-
tal story for girls, Working to Win, by Maggie
Symington ; Lloyd Delam, by the author of
the “Goldy Books,” Mary Densel, both of
which are illustrated ; Pussy Tip-Toes' Family,
one of the handsomest juvenile books of the
season, with thirty large illustrations; and
Bolden with the Cords, a novel by W. M. L. Jay,
the author of Shiloh, which is remembered
with pleasure by all who read it. This work,
like Shiloh, is religious in tone, but as full of
interest as the most sensational work. The
author believes that to be religious it is not
necessary to be dull, and certainly in her
books she proves her theory. The plot of
Holden with the Cords is a good one and well
worked up, while the glimpses of farm life
are charming. s
An important law work has been publish-
ed by Hurd and Houghton in Green's Crim-
328
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
Znal Law Reports. It is asserted that the
number of volumes of American Reports ex-
ceeds 2,000, and that they are increasing at
the rate of a hundred per year. The decisions
in criminal cases heretofore scattered through
these volumes are now collected for the first
time, with those in the courts of Great Britain,
and notes by N. St. John Green, making a vol-
ume of great value to the profession. Under a
contract with the Postmaster-General, Hurd
& Houghton will publish the U. S. Official

Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co. have pub-
lished a new school Algebra, prepared by
Professor Joseph Ticklin, of the University
of Missouri, in which the arrangement is
somewhat different from that usually em-
ployed, and a number of the rules and de-
monstrations are new ; and Outlines of the
World's History, a manual of 500 pages, with
maps and illustrations, by William Swinton.
The author is well known as an historical
scholar, and has shown rare talent in giving
so much of connected narrative in so small a
compass. -
J. W. Schermerhorn & Co. have issued a
little manual on The Art of Reading Music, by
Laura B. Humphreys; a new Elements of Ge-
ometry, by W. H. H. Phillips; and Master-
pieces in English Literature, a most valuable
aid to the study of the English language and
literature, by Homer Sprague, principal of
the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn. The “mas-
terpieces” are representative selections from
English authors with explanatory notes, and
the portrait of each author and sketch of his
life and works. Prefixed is a statement of
the development of the language, and there
is an index to some 2,000 words and topics.
This method of presenting the language to
the student is an excellent one, and well cal-
culated to stimulate interest in the subject.
Sheldon & Co. have published an introduc-
tory Algebra, by Professor Olney; Hooker's
Physiology, revised and re-written by Profes-
sor Sewall; and a History of English and
American Literature, prepared by Professor
Backus, of Vassar College, and based mainly
upon Shaw's Manuul. The present arrange-
ment is much better adapted to the require-
ments of a text-book than the old one. Gen-
eral Custer's account of his Life on the Plaims,
to be published this month, needs only to be
announced to meet with a ready sale. We
shall also have at an early day from Sheldon
& Co., Justin McCarthy’s novel Linley Roch-
jord, which has been entertaining the readers
of The Galaay, and a new novel of modern
society, by Theodore Davis. The publishers
have received a new novel from Mrs. Annie
Edwards, the first chapters of which will ap-
pear in the next number of The Galaay.
Henry Holt & Co. will soon have ready
John Stuart Mill’s posthumous Essays on Re-
ligion, the subjects of which are Unity of Re-
ligion, Nature and Theism ; an able work, by
\
Mr. C. K. Adams, on Monarchy and Democracy
in France, being an extension of his papers
published in The Worth American and The
JVation; a translation of Wagner's Autobiog-
raphy and Essays, and a dainty volume of
Wers de Société, edited by C. H. Jones, who so
admirably condensed Clarissa Harlowe, and is
now endeavoring to reduce Boswell's Johnson
in the same way. We shall have also from
this house Sir Henry Maine's Early History
of Institutions, handsomely illustrated ; in
Freeman’s Historical Series, works on America
and France, and new novels from Mrs. Alex-
ander, Thomas Hardy, and the author of My
Little Lady.
E. J. Hale & Son have added to the list of
recent books on the English tongue, a History
of the English Language, by Professor Henry
E. Shepherd, of the Baltimore City College.
It treats concisely yet clearly of the formation
and development of the language, discarding
all purely literary criticism or anything that
will divert the mind of the pupil. The in-
creased attention which has been given to the
study of our own language has created an ur.
gent demand for just such a book as this, and
the author deserves the thanks of all interest-
ed in the subject. He has presented in his
modest 12mo, volume, information for which
the student has been obliged to search through
whole libraries.
BosTON, Oct. 1, 1874.
Our publishers are rather late with their
fall issues, but readers are well repaid for
waiting. During the past week we have
been almost bewildered by the number of
new volumes which have claimed our atten-
tion.
J. R. Osgood & Co. lead the list with the
new novel from Julian Hawthorne, just ready;
and, issued earlier in the month, Bayard
Taylor's tragedy, The Prophet; the first volume
of the long announced “Little Classics";
Gardner's Homes, and How to Make Them ;
of novels, Mrs. Oliphant’s A Rose in June,
and Boyesen’s Gunnar. Idolatry, like Bres-
Samt, bears unmistakable evidence that the
genius of the elder Hawthorne has been in-
herited by the son, though the latter work
is less open to criticism on that account
than the former, as it shows that the author
has genius peculiarly his own to commend
his work. The romance is far more like a
work of art than the ordinary novel of the
day, dealing with abstract ideas rather than
with individuals or events, while the author’s
vivid imagination attracts and absorbs the
attention of the reader. The Prophet, a blank
verse tragedy in five acts, to which the name
“Mormon” has been attached, does not have
to deal with the Mormons, but with their
faith. There are a variety of characters, the
principle of which is a religious enthusiast,
groping for truth and light. The plot is in-
teresting, the diction elegant, and frequently
eloquent, and the work will live as an import-

ant addition to the literature of the century.
A Rose in June is a tender love story, with
pretty characters delicately drawn. Like the
real rose in June, it is fresh and pretty, and
altogether pleasing. The bad characters are
only conservatively so, and the worldly con-
ventionalisms are prettily contrasted with
native honesty and simplicity. Boyesen’s
story of Norse life, which has been running
in the Atlantic, and is now printed in the 18mo.
“Saunterer's Series,” has a peculiar interest
as a picture of the simple life of the people of
the north of Europe. The quaint characters
are irresistably attractive, and the romance is
interwoven with rare poetic touches of fancy.
The first of the “Little Classics" bears the
title Evile, and contains Ethan Brand, by Na-
thaniel Hawthorne ; The Swams of Lir, by
Gerald Griffin ; A Night in a Workhouse, by
James Greenwood; The Outcasts of Poker Flat,
by Bret Harte; The Man without a Country, by
E. E. Hale; and De Quincey’s Flight of a Tar-
tar Tribe. The series is edited by Rossiter
Johnson, who says, in his preface to this first
volume: “Going \freely through English
literature to gather little classics, I have been
surprised at finding so few that antedate the
present century. Hawthorne, De Quincey,
Poe, and Dr. Brown have put within the com-
pass of a few pages as much plot and charac-
ter, as much pathos, humor, human nature,
metaphysical speculation, and dramatic effect
as commonly suffice for a full-length romance.
The ponderous novel cannot be said to have
had its day, but the indications are that it
must soon cease to have more than its day.”
William F. Gill & Co.'s list of books, issued
since my last, include a clever satire, full of
bome thrusts, by Canon Pullen, the author of
the Fight at Dame Jºhºropa’s School. It is in
the form of a dialogue between an infidel and
a clergyman of the Established Church, and
is published under the title, Stones Through
Glass Houses; or, Modern Christianity a Civilized
JHeathenism. No doubt many American read-
ers will think the English divine had too
little to say, and they will long for an oppor-
tunity to demolish the reasoning of Mr In-
fidel; but the book is ingenious for all that,
and may be profitably read, if read in proper
spirit,
edition of Verne’s stories, From the Clouds to
the Mountains, on thick paper and in new
binding, with added illustrations by Bush;
an illustrated edition of Mr. Gill’s Home IRé-
creations, a handsome manual (the only illus-
trated one in existence) of tableaux and ama-
teur theatricals, which will prove very ser-
viceable to those who engage in such amuse-
ments; and two books of the “Rollo’’ style,
Child Life in Italy and Child Life in Europe.
The former is a narrative of real life in the
family of Crawford, the sculptor, while the
latter is a sequel to the first, and is made ad-
ditionally interesting by the legends narrated
and the stories of the gods. For the holidays
this house will have a goodly number of juve-
Gill & Co. have also issued a holiday
niles, prominent among which will be the
“Little Folk Life Series,” the first two
volumes by Gail Hamilton, and the third, to
be ready shortly, the story of Lolly Dink's
Doings, by Mrs. R. H. Stoddard. The latter,
as told by Lolly Dinks, is full of humor,
which will be appreciated by mothers as well
as children, and it has an abundance of sug-
gestiveness for the former, We shall have
also Miss Amanda M. Douglas's The Old Wo-
man who Lived in a Shoe, a bright story of how
six children grew up in poverty under the
care of their grandmother, how they suffered
and bore their privations, how they helped
each other, a pretty series of pictures of child
life, with all its aspirations and disappoint-
ments, which the children will hugely enjoy
in the long winter evenings. Wilkie Collins’
novel, The Frozen Deep, which, in its original
dramatic form, is sadly associated with the
name of Charles Dickens, will be ready early
this month.
Lee & Shepard have issued James De
Mille's tale of Acadia, The Lily and the Cross,
noticed in my last ; a new volume in the
Yacht Club series, The Coming Wave ; or the
Hidden Treasure of High Rock, by Oliver Op-
tic; Mr. George M. Baker's first novel, Rum-
ming to Waste ; and Katherine Earle, which
has been delighting the readers of Scribner’s,
by Adeline Trafton, who made her mark in
An American Girl Abroad. It has been said
that Miss Trafton's writing resembles Miss
Thackeray's, only that the former is essential-
ly American, dealing with American people
and American scenes, while Miss Thackeray is
essentially English, Katherine Earle is a de-
lightful story, and will add to the author's
well deserved fame as an entertaining
writer. Mr. Baker’s Running to Waste is the
story of a sadly neglected little girl, who
brightens up like a diamond as soon as she is
taken in hand. There are some capital deli-
neations of queer characters, and graphic de-
scriptions of scenes, which add much to the
interest of the narrative. The recent interest
in Iceland and its people will secure a hearty
welcome for the forthcoming volume of Rev.
P. C. Headley on that island, entitled, The 18-
land of Fire, or, a Thousand Years of the Old
Morthmen’s Home. To a description of the is-
land and the customs of the people is added
specimens of their best poems to show their
literary culture, and an interesting account of
the proceedings at their millenial anniversary.
Little & Brown have issued The Old Régime
£n Canada, the fourth volume of Francis Park-
man’s series of historical works relating to the
settlement of North America. While the main
purpose of the writer has been to write a
faithful history of the French in Canada from
the time of their first settlement there until
they were conquered by the English a century
later, so rich is the field and so skillfully has
he used his material, that the volume is as
full of exciting interest as the most sensa-
tional fiction. The fights with the Indians,

the adventures of the missionaries, who la-
bored so zealously among them, are vividly
depicted. Even the characters who figured
in those strange scenes are drawn to the life,
and this is probably the most important, as
it is the most interesting volume of the series.
The tenth volume of Bancroft's History of
the United States is also just issued, com-
pleting a work begun forty years ago. This
volume has been noticed at length in a for-
mer letter.
Roberts Brothers have issued. The Corre-
spondence of Dr. William Chamming and
Lucy Aiken, and Robert T. S. Lowell's story
of school-boy life, Antony Brade. The former
has never been published, though the corre-
spondence was held many years ago. It is
interesting and important now from the light
which it throws upon the tendencies of
thought in those days in England and Amer-
ica, as expressed by two representative ob-
servers in their respective countries. Antony
Brade has been so long heralded that its
merits are widely known. Like the books of
Hughes it is full of vigorous life and enthu-
siasm. The author says in his dedication :
“For you who recall the fluttering of school-
book leaves at desks now gone to dust, and
the waving of sunny hair in the air long ago;
for you who have been boys, or are boys, or
like boys, this book is lovingly written.” We
are promised this month from Roberts Bro-
thers, The French Humorists, by Walter Be-
sant ; the Life of Thomas Brassey, the self-
made English millionaire; George Sand's novel,
My Sister Jeannie, which has been translated
by Mr. Crocker of The Literary World; The
Maturalist on the River Amazons, a lively book
of adventures in Brazil, by H. W. Bates, to
be profusely illustrated ; and a collection
of poems under the title of Quiet Hours, by
Mrs. J. B. Tileston. Mrs. Moulton is to give
us through the same house, More Bed Time
Stories, and Susan Coolidge a new volume of
stories, both books to be illustrated by Addie
Ledyard. Hamerton’s treatise on Etching and
Etchers is delayed, that the illustrations,
which are being done in Paris, may be com-
pleted, but it will be ready at the latest by
, the middle of November. .
Henry L. Shepard & Co. have published a
new and cheaper edition of Rand's Window
Gardemer, and a number of new juveniles, the
principle of which is a volume of fairy stories,
with the title Friendly Fairies. A number
of volumes of note will be issued later in the
season, among which are a work from Dr.
Loring, on the Management and Breeding of
Cattle; The History of the United States Marine
Corps, by M. Almy Aldrich, the only one ever
written ; a book from Mr. Bailey, of Danbury
JVew8 fame, on England; a new volume on the
Adirondacks, by Rev. Mr. Murray; and Little
People and their Friends, edited by Mrs. George
L. Austin, and to consist of poetry and prose
from the best authors, including a new poem
written expressly for it by Whittier.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 1874.
A very fair business in books has been done
during the month, but as compared with pre-
vious years the new books of note are very
few. Most of those issued have been so long
in the publishers’ hands, and so often an-
nounced that there is but little to be said of
them at the present writing. -
J. B. Lippincott & Co., have published a
valuable little manual on The Steam, Engine,
by John Houpt, with diagrams; Barnaby
Budge and Hard Times in their had somely
printed and illustrated edition of Dickens’
novels; and a romance entitled Charteris, by
Mary M. Meline. They will issue within a
few days, the third volume of Charles Francis
Adams' Memoirs of John Quincy Adams; Vol-
ume second of the new edition of Prescotts’
History of Philip II., A Modern Ch'essida, “a
story of the day,” by Francis Asherton, which
will contain also a short sketch by Sarah C.
Hallowell, entitled “On the Church Steps”;
and a book of short stories, by Sarah Winter
Kellogg, under the title of The Livelies. Later
in the month they will issue a new novel by
Virginia F. Townsend, entitled Jacqueline ;
and a volume which will be highly appre-
ciated by students of mineralogy, Tables for
the Determination of Minerals by their Physical
Characteristics, translated from the German of
Albin Weisbach, Professor of Mineralogy in
the Mining Academy of Freiberg, Saxony, by
Professor Frazer, of the University of Penn-
sylvania. Early in the month this house will
issue the new Postal Railway Directory, at the
request, and under the supervision of the
General Superintendent of Railway Mail Ser-
vice. In addition to the list of post offices, it
will contain the latest official instructions to
Clerks, Agents, Messengers, etc., and an ar-
rangement for adding new Post Offices with-
out increasing the book to an inconvenient
size. A limited edition only will be printed.
Claxton, Remsen, and Haffelfinger, have is-
sued a most admirable and useful Historical
Chart, prepared by Professor Labberton, the
distinguished lecturer on historical subjects,
and author of Outlines of History, etc. This
plan of teaching history by the eye is probably
the best ever devised. The arrangement is a
very ingenious one, color being introduced in
a most effective manner, yet the whole is so
simple that the young student can, almost at
a glance fix upon his memory the time of the
birth of a nation, and can easily trace its
growth, and its mutual relations with other
nations. An examination of the chart cannot
fail to convince all who are interested of its
great simplicity and usefulness. It is issued
in Atlas form for the pupil, in Sectional form,
in Portfolio for the class room, and mounted
on rollers like a wall map. Claxton, Remsen,
and Haffilfinger have also issued, a new edition
of Flander's Treatise on the Law of Fire Insur-
ance, thoroughly revised, with the latest cases
embodied; and New Elements from Old Subjects,
a treatise of Mental Science, by John Gaskell.
THE AMERICAN BOOKSE1LLERS’ GUIDE.

This is an able work which deserves the
attention of thinkers. Mr. Gaskell is remem-
bered by the readers of the papers a quarter
of a century ago as the writer of the articles
which were published, and autracted much at
notice at the ‘time, under the mom de plume
of “A Retired Thinker.” At his death,
twenty years ago, the MS. of the book just
published was left in the hands of his friend,
Mr. John W. Huff, who now presents it to the
public, with an apology for keeping it from
them so long. It is devoted to the elucidation
of a new philosophy of mind, based upon the
law which the author thought he discovered,
that all thought is correlative. The pub-
lishers will have ready shortly, The Mollus-
cous Animals and their Shells, of Chester County,
, , Pa., by William D. Hartman, M.D., and Ezra
Michener, M.D. It will be fully illustrated
by cuts furnished by the Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, and others prepared
expressly for the work. Chester County is
particularly rich in materials for a cabinet of
natural science, and such a cabinet was
founded there nearly fifty years ago, and valu-
able collections have been made. The pres-
ent volume is the result of the investigations
that have been thus encouraged.
Porter & Coates have issued a highly read-
able book of adventure in The Wild Northland,
by Captain W. F. Butler, the story of a winter
journey with dogs across Northern North
America. It is accompanied by a map, and
illustrated liberally by engravings. The other
new books from this house are Harry Castle-
mon's The Sportsman's Club Among the Thrap-
pers, being the third volume of this hand-
somely illustrated series; and The Abbot and
Renmilworth in their fireside edition of Sir
Walter Scott’s novels.
During the past month T. B. Peterson &
Brothers issued a new novel by the popular
author of East Lynne, entitled The Diamond
Pracelet. The Noblemſºn’s Wife, a novel from
the same author, was also given to the read-
ing public in a pleasing and durable form.
A seasonable work from the same firm is the
National Cook Book, by Hannah M. Bouvier.
Those desiring a reliable culinary guide for
the fall and winter should secure this
volume from the pen of a lady well known
and highly esteemed in the first social
circles of Philadelphia. In the month of Oc-
tober the indefatigable Petersons will publish
Martyn Ware's Temptation, by Mrs. Henry
Wood; The Lost Bank Note ; , The Runaway
Match, and A Light and a Dark Christmas, all
from the same pen. The four last-mentioned
stories and the Diamond Bracelet, are presented
in single volumes, each novel complete in one
book, at a very low price. They are printed
on stout paper from clear type, and inclosed
in sightly covers. For relief from the oppres-
sive monotony of traveling, there are no
novels to be compared to those pictures of
Mrs. Wood; and the new dress in which the .
Petersons now introduce them, is one that
is most convenient for car, steamboat, and
hotel reading.
Eldredge & Brother have issued an intro-
duction to the study of grammar, under the
title of Language Lé880ms for Beginners, by
John S. Hart, LL.D., of Princeton College;
the same author's Grammar and Analysis,
rewritten and printed from new plates; 3).
little volume of 3,000 Practice Words, by Pro-
fessor Westlake, of the State Normal School,
at Millersville, Pa., which teachers will find
of great service in the class-room ; and Ter-
ence's Andria and Adelpha, edited by Profes-
sor E. P. Crowell, of Amherst College, of
which it is sufficient to say that it deserves
the place they have given it in Chase and
Stuart's Classical Series.
From Lindsay & Blakiston we have two
books, which will be highly appreciated by
the profession. The first is Clay’s Handbook
of Obstetric Surgery, from the third London
edition. The work has been carefully revised,
and new matter and illustrations added. The
other volume is a manual on Surgical Emer-
gencies, together with the emergencies attend-
ant on parturition and the treatment.of poison-
ing, by William Paul Swain, F.R.C.S. AJ-
though, as the author says, it is little more
than a compilation, it is just such, a compila-
tion as is needed, condensing into a brief
volume and stating concisely and clearly the
treatment in the common emergencies which
any practitioner may be called upon to attend.
The book has eighty-two illustrations, and
a chapter on Antiseptic Treatment by Dr.
Bishop, containing the most recent directions. .

Jules Janin bequeathed his library to his
native town, Saint-Etienne, his wife retaining
the use of it during her life. The Academy
says of the collection: “The formation of the
library was the work of half a century, com-
prising, as it does, from six to seven thousand
volumes. Besides admirable editions, Al-.
dines, Elzevirs, Robert Estiennes, and some
fine copies of the poets of the fifteenth, six-
teenth, and seventeenth centuries, it contains
copies, on Dutch or Chinese paper, of all the
works of importance which have appeared for
the last forty years. Authors, knowing the
fondness of the celebrated critic for books,
had complimentary copies printed for him,
with dedications in prose or in verse. Jules
Janin made it his duty and a pleasure to have
them richly bound by the most celebrated
binders, such as Trautz-Bauzonnot, Durn,
Cape, Gayler-Hiron, Petit, etc. Some of these
dedications are real manuscript prefaces.
Under the cover of most of the volumes is to.
be found a letter from the author. A copy of
Jocelyn contains, besides the dedication, four
pages of manuscript written by Lamartine.
There are some unique copies. The publisher
Curmer had printed, solely for Janin, a single
copy of a splendid book ornamented with
original designs.”

The review of the Proceedings of the
Convention at Put-in Bay, which we print
on another page, reaches us too late to
permit our discussion of the points which
our correspondent raises, and we shall
take occasion to notice them in a future
issue. The communication reads as though
it was written in the interest of the class
of buyers outside of the trade, who have
been accustomed to discounts. We think
the writer is mistaken in supposing that
the preamble, which asserts that retail
booksellers are second to churches and
schools as promoters of civilization, was
adopted by the publishers as a recogni-
tion of the claims of clergymen and
teachers to greater consideration from
them than the retailers. If our correspon-
dent is correct in such a supposition, we
are not alone in error, for the retail trade
have not so understood the intent and
purport of the preamble in question. Our
own views have been repeatedly express-
ed. Selling books is a matter of business,
not a missionary nor a philanthropic work,
and none but those who buy to sell again
are entitled to any discount whatever, ex-
cept perhaps now and then a customer
who buys in large quantities. -
“Observer's '' letter contains much food
for thought, and ought not to pass un-

conventions can increase demand, is one
which admits of much discussion, and also
that as to whether the publisher should
endeavor to control prices on his books
after they leave his hands, the latter in-
völving all the nice distinctions between

OBITUARY.
BISEIOP MORRIS.
The Rev. Thomas A. Morris, D.D., for many
years senior Bishop of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church in this country, died at his resi-
dence in Springfield, Ohio, September 2d., at
the age of eighty years. He was born in
Western Virginia, became connected with the
Church in 1814, and shortly afterward was
licensed to preach. In 1834 he became first
editor of The Western Christian Advocate,
which was started in Cincinnati in that year,
books, the most important of which are a vol-
ume of essays and sketches published in 1851,
and a volume of sermons. -
GUIZOT.
The eminent statesman and historian, Fran-
cis Pierre Guillaume Guizot died in Paris on
the 9th ult. He was born in 1787 at Nimes,
educated at Geneva, to which place his mother
had fled to avoid persecution by the Bourbons.
At the age of eighteen, when Napoleon had
been crowned emperor, he returned to Paris,
where he soon distinguished himself as a jour-
nalist and author. . In 1809 he published a
Dictionary of French Synonyms, and in 1813
his “Lives of the French Poets.” He founded
the Revue Française in 1828, and was the au-
thor of a large number of political pamphlets
which always received much attention. He
occupied the chair of Modern History at the
Sorbonne for many years, and acquired great
celebrity as a lecturer.
lectures were published in 1845, under the
title of “A History of Civilization.” Of his
many works, may be mentioned as perhaps
the most important, a “History of the Revo-
lution in England from the accession of
Charles I. to that of Charles II.,” published in
six volumes, from 1827 to 1856, and “Memoirs
to Illustrate the History of My Time,” of
which four volumes have been translated into
English. For many years he took an active
part in politics, and was considered the lead-
ing statesman of France. He was elected to
the Chamber of Deputies, and on the accession
of Louis Philippe, was appointed Minister of
the Interior. He was Minister of Public In-
struction in 1832, Ambassador to London in
1840, and in the same year became Minister of
Foreign Affairs, a place which he held until
the revolution of 1848, when he retired into
private life.

deny the charges, that by his personal de-
scriptions in his Dangerous Game, he treated
his friends in New York unkindly. After
stating that the story was written piece-meal,
in London, Paris, Vienna, Munich, Frankfort,
Madrid, and St. Petersburg, he goes on to say
that “whatever faint reminiscences of ac-
quaintance made by me in New York may be
found reflected in the characters of the Dan-
gerous Game, I had not the remotest idea of
giving the slightest offence to one or any of
them. Had I received the least ill-treatment,
had my public appearances been unpleasantly
commented upon, and my social career been
a failure in America, I should, had I taken the
suggested mode of venting my spleen, have
been sufficiently base ; but, had I not ocular
proof before me, it would be impossible for
me to understand how such charges could be
brought against me, when it is known, as it
must be, in the circle in which these charges
seem to be spread, that publicly and privately
everything possible was done to render my
visit a prosperous and a happy one, and that
publicly and privately I lost no opportunity
in expressing my gratitude.”

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ (, UIDE.
We are happy to state that the proceedings
against a lot of books belonging to Mr. Rich-
ard Worthington, seized by the United States -
authorities at Port Huron, Michigan, 22d De-
cember, 1869, terminated in favor of Mr.
Worthington; the government, after full op-
portunity for investigation, consenting that
judgment should be so rendered. As we re-
ferred to this matter in our issue of February
1, 1870, when we supposed the evidence tend-
ed to justify the seizure, we consider it a duty
to Mr. Worthington, as well as a pleasure, to
state the result.
Mills & Co., of Des Moines, Iowa, have pub.

all the schools of that state, and imitated for
the use of the schools of other states. It is
designed to furnish instruction in the geo-

graphy of the ninety-nine counties is given,
and the rivers and railroads described, with
the towns located upon them. Fifty-four les-
sons are devoted to the minerals of the state,
and the county, state, and federal govern-

NOVEL READING.
Superintendent Justice Wimer, of the Bos-
ton Public Library, in his annual report says:
“I do not share the opinion held by many,
who indulge in a wholesale denunciation of
the reading of novels. After several years'
observation, I am fully cognizant of the fact
that the censure of fiction is a good deal a
matter of class feeling—educationally speak-
ing. Books of one literary grade are held to
be valueless by critics on a higher one, who
do not appreciate the fact that lower grades
of readers should be supplied with mental
pabulum suited to their powers of assimila-
tion. The failure to allow for this difference
in readers is, I think, at the bottom of many
unconsidered assertions regarding the char-
acter of certain writers, and the literary ne-
cessities of corresponding classes of readers
Nevertheless, there can be nothing more de-
serving of official recognition, or of the en-
couragement of those who are fortunate in
literary culture, than endeavors to improve
the standard of that reading which free lib-
raries supply. The question is only one of
method, and it seems to me that persuasion
and kindly assistance to the unskilled in
books is a more gracious procedure than to
deprive them of the only books that allure
them to partake of the library'stores. First
of all, the mass of ordinary readers must be
made to frequent the library. They are then
within its influence, and endeavors to benefit
their tastes will, as I think our experiment
has shown, accomplish a good result, if the
efforts are unremitting. I trust another year
will show that the work thus inaugurated
will gather strength as it goes on.”

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
Pursuant to the above, a meeting was held at which
there was a very full attendance, and the plans for a
local organization, discussed. A Committee, consisting
of Messrs. J. B. PIET, of KELLY, PIET & Co., E.
BAILEY, of CUSBINGS & BAILEY, and W. J. C. DULANEY,
of W. J. C. DULANEY & Co., was appointed to report a
Constitution and By-Laws at the next meeting.
Another meeting was held on the 29th, which resulted
in the organization of the “Booksellers’ Association of
Baltimore.” JAMES CUSHING, Jr., was elected Presi-
dent, and H. TURNBULL, Secretary, and the rules of
the Central Association were acceded to.
THE LAW BOOK Pluſ BLISHERS.
The publishers of Law Books held a meeting at New
London, Conn., on the 9th ult., which was attended by
representatives from all the principal houses. A cir-
cular was drawn up for signatures, but as its adoption
depends upon its receiving such signatures, its con-
tents have not yet been made public. It is understood,
however, that the changes it proposes are in the direc-
tion of the general movement of the trade, and it is
probable that at the next meeting some plan will be
adopted by which the fictitious prices now put upon law
books may be dropped, and the discounts to buyers out-
side of the trade shortened and made uniform.
THE Book TRADE Convention at PUT:
.. IN-RAY. w
To the Editor of THE AMERICAN BookSELLERs' GUIDE;
SIR-Ry your leave, I propose to review the proceed-
ings of the above-named Convention.
n their preambles are these words:
“The retail booksellers of this country are a most im-
portant element ºf civilization, second only to the church
and school-house, and no village or town can be thor-
oughly prosperous which does not contain at least one
good bookstore, where the best literature of this coun-
º the world is attractively displayed.”
he modesty of this whereas, in making the retail
book trade secondary to the church and school-house as
an element of civilization, is º only by the su-
reme autocracy of their first resolution cutting down the
iscounts heretofore allowed to (according to the where.
as) the two first and primal elements of civilization, the
church and the school-house. Now, it seems to me, Mr.
Editor, that if the two latter elements of civilization are
so much greater than the retail booksellers, the proper
thing for the trade to do would be to encourage, said
elements by an increased discount, more especially as
there are at least an hundred pulpits and a thousand
school-houses to one retail bookseller, throughout the en-
tire country. I am led to this particular idea by reading,
among other doings of that body, the address of the
President of the Convention, who said that it was “not
one in the interests of a mere trade.” That it was “some-
thing higher than that in its influence, in its grasp and
hold upon the public mind.” It had, said the President.
“a relation and a significance greater than it would seem
to have in the eye of the casual observer.” No doubt
the President was right in this last sentence, and that
excites my curiosity. From what he said and what the
above preamble declared about the elements of etc., and
the general desire of the Convention to advance these
elements, I was led to believe such advancement was
of paramount consideration; but when I learned that the
two primal elements are to be hampered in the work of
civilization, by a reduction of their incentives to labor,
and when the President declares that the Convention had
a greater significance than casuals might see, I admit
that I am somewhat at a loss to know what the highly
respectable gathering of elementary civilization promo-
:
ters intend to do, or what they desire. Evidently not
the advancement of civilization, for the mainspring of
action by the two great promoters of that cause is remov-
ed, viz. a reasonable compensation for services rendered.
The last few lines of that preamble excite my admira-
tion by the boldness of the sentiments they express,
especially that in regard to having literature attractively
displayed as an evidence of village or town prosperity,
If the Convention had never gone beyond this first pre-
amble, its glory would have lasted till, º I say it
was forgotten. Unthrifty places all over the land can now
make thrift displace stagnation — all that is needed is a
retail bookstore that shall attractively display the world's
literature.
Preamble second is as follows:
“The late controversies and distractions existing in
the book trade, and the custom which has grown up on
the part of the publishers and large city dealers of selling
books to private consumers at very nearly the same rate
at which the local bookseller can 3. them, has
rendered it impossible for the local dealer to successfully
invest his capital in a stock of books to meet and develop
the wants of his own section; and if this evil is not check-
ed at no distant day the whole business off selling books
must fall into the hands of large city dealers or peddlers,
greatly to the detriment of local communities.”
Let us see what number two amounts to. It declares
that publishers and large city dealers have been selling
books to consumers at VERY NEARLY the same rate at
which local booksellers can buy them. Before giving
this as a reason for curtailing discounts in certain cases,
it should have been conclusively shown that the prac-
tice was against the public interest, that fewer books
were sold, that the demand had been lessened thereby ;
otherwise the excuse for curtailment is weak. No data,
were shown to prove either one of these results. Again, the
preamble is weak in behalf of local booksellers, by its aid-
mission that they, the locals, cannot'sell as cheap as the
large city dealers. That was unkind to the locals. Their
consumers ought not to have been told officially that
dealers in cities can and do sell books cheaper than the
local dealers on whose counters the world's literature is
to be attractively displayed.
If certain dealers can’t sell as cheap as others, the
consumer will find the cheaper one and buy his books of
him. Village pride is not strong enough to open pockets
against self-interest. Buyers go to the cheapest market.
I am of the opinion that more books have been sold un-
der the old system than will be under the new, and any
attempt by conventions or organizations to increase
trade will result in failure, for the reason that no con-
vention can increase demands. Excuse this digression.
Preamble No. 2 also declares in substance, that un-
less discount in certain cases is curtailed, the local deal-
er must quit trade, and the whole business of selling
books must fall into the hands of large city dealers or
peddlers, and that will work to the detriment of local
communities. Here again we find no data submitted to
verify these statements. To make it a valid cause for the
proposed curtailment of discounts, it show.ld have been
8hown that the large city dealers and peddlers could not
supply the demands of the local communities referred to.
Assertion is no argument. I might assert that the two
agencies referred to—city dealers and peddlers, aided by
*.*.* libraries, and teachers, will meet all the de-
imands of the local communities.
A resolution of the Convention is in these words:
“We deem it right and for the best interests of
book-buyers to make their purchase of, and to sustain
the local bookseller, that the business of the locality may
be developed for the common good. The ousiness of
selling books, at best, is not among the profitable lºind of
commercial enterprises, and yields but a fair living, and
requires unusual intelligence to successfully prosecute
it.
I admire this resolution. It is quite original. After
telling local communities that their dealers can't and
don't Supply them as cheap as they can be supplied
through other sources, the Convention plainly says it is
right and best for them to sustain the local dealer, so
that the business of the locality may be developed.
This new theory in political or business economy is
quite in keeping with the entire proceedings of the con-
Vention. It needed a bookseller's convention to dis-
gover that trade was increased by consumers buying in
the dearest markets. . But the cream of this resolution
is the last sentence (which needs to be read in conne -
THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS GUIDE.
337
tion with the first preamble, declaring that churches and
schools are superior to booksellers as elements of culti-
vation), which announces that the business of booksell-
ing is not, at the best, among profitable kinds of enter;
prise, and requires unusual intelligence for successful
prosecution.
In preamble number one, booksellers are secondary to
churches and schools as civilizers. In this resolution
unusual intelligence is required to sell books. Plain in-
ference—churches and schools are the possessors of
the sort of universal intelligenºce demanded by this
resolution; that is,'if retail booksellers have the simplest
rudiments of this unusual intelligence, and they.
churches and schools, are the parties that ought to be
encouraged in the prosecution of a business which at
jº
best is not among the profitable callings of the day, in-
|
stead of having their already too small commissions re-
duced, as this convention has reduced them.
I must ask your indulgence, Mr. Editor, for taking up }
so much of your limited space.
I desire to say a few words on the general subject em.
braced by the doings of that body. In my opinion. it
has undertaken a task that no organization can accom-
plish in this country at this duy.
It attempted to nullify the laws of trade, to bolster up
class interests as against the general public, to interfere
with the irresistible laws of demand and supply, to
leaving the hands of the manufacturer—an attempt that
never can succeed, and never ought to, as it is contrary
to business principles and against common sense.
true policy of book-makers, as of all other manufacturers,
and can afford to buy. Rix the prices at which he, the
maker, will sell, and then make no further attempt to
regulate prices. Demand and º desire for profits,
and the ability of dealers to sell at higher or lower
rates, will do the rest. Conventions, organizations,
trade guilds, and all other combination founded on other
principles, are sure to fail, sooner or later, no matter
how much the world's literature, or other merchandise,
may be attractively displayed by the local dealer. No
dealer will sell goods too cheap to please the consumer,
and the cheaper the goods, the more numerous the con-
SUITQ 8PS.
Respectfully yours,

A correspondent of the Albany Evening
Tºmé8 writes from Montreal that “many cheap
reprints of American works can be obtained
for a trifle. This is noticeable in that class of
books sold by subscription, such as Twain &
Warner's Gilded Age, Max Adler's Out of
the Hurly Burly, Twain’s Roughing It,
and The Innocents Abroad, any one of
which can be bought in very readable form
for sixty cents. Bret Harte's poems, Eggles-
ton’s novels and other dollar and a half and
two dollar books, can be obtained in their
English dress for thirty cents, while Miss
Phelp's Gates Ajar, is for sale for five cents.
The old English authors are also to be had at
extremely low prices.

The Stationery MARKET
The demand for staple goods has been quite active, but by no means so heavy as was anticipated. There are
no noteworthy changes in prices, but the tendency is slightly downward. There is a general lack of new goods
in the market, and fancy goods have, as yet, received but little attention.

LIST OF
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers. We feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence ; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.-In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d.—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or carting in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order us not to do 80, but do send all new publications to owr dealers, unless
they order ws not to do so. . We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as sºon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express; to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-News-
dealers pay the Postage on their Packages of Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rate of postage as if
paid quarterly in advance.

NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. BOUND BOOKS, One Cent for every Two Ounces.
MAGAZINES, One Cent for every Four Ounces. PAPER COWERED NOVELS, do. do.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form : -

An /mpartia/ Review of Literature, Art, and the Drama, Pub/ished Every Thursday,
at 83 Wassau Street, Wew York,
THE ARCADIAN was established in September, 1872, in order to supply the
public with a *
REFINED AND ENTERPRISING MEDIUM
for the expression of timely news on aesthetic and social topics, and enlightened
opinions on Musical, Literary, and Dramatic Art. After an experience of nearly
three years, the paper has established the reputation of being the
Foremſst Literary, Musical, Dramatic, and Artistic Periodical in America,
Its pages are a weekly brochure of sparkling thought, refined fancy, mature, caustic,
yet not unkindly criticism, and its ideal being perfect impartiality, it has filled an
honorable nook, the very existence of which has hitherto been denied by all whose
view of criticism has been limited by professional advertisements. The success it
bas met with has exceeded the expectations of its warmest friends.
The praise and support that have been given to the enterprise are uni-
wersol and spontatºeous. - -
Terms of Subscription, postage prepaid: Three Months, $1; Six Months, $2
Nine Months, $3; One Year, $4. Single copies, 10 cents. -
25 per Cent. Commission will be allowed the Trade on all Subscriptions.

I. A marvel of cheapness, placing a most charming collection of Tales within the reach of the
very humblest reader, at the lowest possible price.
II. It is adapted for the use of schools, families, and the use of both sexes, as the original
translation has been carefully amended and corrected, to the exclusion of everything offensive or
indelicate, without the slightest detriment to the interest of the incidents of the work or the plot of
the several stories.
III. It is calculated still further to popularize one of the most wonderfully enchanting books the
world ever saw, and to provide rich and poor with the enjoyment of a delightful, innocent, and
instructive course of reading.
IV. The tedious division into Nights, followed by many editions, is abandoned, and the thread
of the Stories maintained, and each part made so interesting that, while complete in itself, every one
buying one Part will be sure to want the others.
e.", No deviation in discount will be made except according to quantity, and the Booksellers
can buy as cheap of the house he deals with as of me. The only advantage being on orders of
250, or more, having their imprint.

The Mothers’ Magazine.
The January number of 1875 commences the 43d year and volume of this old and popular
monthly.
Wàin the last three years the number of its patrons has been doubled.
Following are a few of the many appreciative notices accorded to its increasing excellence.
THE MOTHERS’ MAGAZINE is one of the oldest and best monthlies for the family circle within
our knowledge. It is ably conducted, and its pages well filled by talented and experienced writers.
Not the least attractive feature is the department for the youth, which gives evidence of peculiar
tact, both in its selections and contributions.—Christian Observer, Richmond, Va., and Louisville, Ky.
MoTHERs' MAGAGINE.—This is a very useful and instructive magazine, and should be in the
hands of every mother.—Haverhill Gazette, Mass. - - -
THE MOTHERS’ MAGAZINE is the name of a monthly devoted especially to the interest of
mothers and children, and filled with excellent reading for the family circle. It furnishes a Christian
literature that will purify and elevate wherever it goes,—Waterville Mail, Me. .
MoTHERs' MAGAZINE.—Its pages are filled with contributions from the ablest and most
experienced writers in the country. Its tone is religious, and no young mother especially should be
without its beneficial influence.—Minn. S. West. . .
THE MOTHERS’ MAGAZINE is a very pleasant, agreeable companion for the household and the
fireside. It is what it professes to be, a Mothers' Mazazine, full of beautiful, instructive, and loving
things, and pervaded by a fine spirit of religion and charity. —Commonwealth, N. Y.

It is played by two persons. each being furnished with

O
THE AMERICAN UNION is the oldest literary journal now published in the country,
the first number having been issued in 1848. During these twenty-six years it has
loeen circulated in every State in the Union, and has been commended by journals and
people of literary tastes for the excellent stories which have been found in its columns,
and the large amount of miscellaneous matter which each number of the UNION has
contained. It has prospered and found friends in every household where it has entered,
and it is something to boast of, that there are names on our subscription books which
Have been there ever since the first number of the UNION was issued. These we call
out GOLDEN SUBSCRIBERs. May they live to take rank with those who will be rated
as diamond subscribers when the UNION completes its first half-century !
For the year 1875 our terms for THE AMERICAN UNION and BALLOU's MAGAZINE
Will be:
For THE AMERICAN UNION, one copy for a year's subscription, by carrier, with
chromo premium, $3.00. -
For a year's subscription to any part of the country, with a chromo as a prem-
ium, $2.65, we prepaying the postage, according to the new law of Congress, which
requires all mail matter to be prepaid by publishers. -
One copy by mail, six months, $1.35, we paying the postage.
For $9.70 we will send four copies of “The American Union ” one year; and also
a copy of “Ballou's Magazine” and either of the chromos, “The Betrothed,” “The
Power of Music,” or both chromos “Sunrise” and “Sunset,” or both chromos “Lilies
of the Valley” and “Morning Glories,” We prepaying postage.
For $4.25 we will send a copy of “The American Union ” and “Ballou's Maga-
zine” for one year, prepaying the postage, and either of the chromos “The Betrothed,”
or “The Power of Music.” Also either the chromos “Sunrise" or “Sunset,” as the
subscriber may determine. Or we will send both Union and Ballou's Magazine for
$3.75, without the chromos. Ballou's Magazine, it should be remembered, is only
$1.50 per year, and each subscriber who sends that sum, and ten cents for postage,
will receive a beautiful chromo, either “Morning Glories” or “Lillies of the Valley,”
or the new beauties called “SUNRISE " and “SUNSET.”
Or, if subscribers prefer, we will, for the sum of $3.15, payable in advance in all
cases, send THE AMERICAN UNION for one year, and either of the follewing named
loooks (post-paid), the retail price of which is one dollar and a half each: “The Gold-
Hunters' Adventures;” “The Bushrangers; ” “The Gold-Hunters in Europe; ” “A
Whaleman's Adventures; ” “A Slaver's Adventures on Land and Sea; ”, “Life in
the East Indies.”
Ičemember, to receive a copy of either of the above books, post-paid, and THE
AMERICAN UNION for one year, it is necessary to send us $3.15, but $2.65 for “The
Union ” and a chromo. Be careful and make no mistake.
tº Postmasters can receive one copy of the UNION for two dollars a year. They
are requested to act as agents and get up clubs.

WM. F. GILL & CO’S NEW FALL BOOKS.
JReady Oct. 12.
THE FROZEN DEEP. A new novel. By WILRIE ColliX5, author of “The Woman in White,” “Arm-
adale,” “The New Magdalen,” &c. Cloth, 12mo, illustrated by Alfred Fredericks. $1.25. -
From the association of Charles Dickens and his family with this story in its original dramatic form, it has
a more than ordinary interest. The full cast of the play in which Dickens and Collins appeared together some
years since, is printed in the introduction to the story.
“One of Mr. Collins's best efforts. The story affords better opportunities for pen portraitures of stirring events
than, perhaps, any of the many plots concocted by the author of the “Woman in ite.”—Bostom IDaily Adver-
tiser. - - -
THE OLD WONIAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE. A new Family Story. By AMANDA. M. Doug-
LAs, author of “In Trust,” “Home Nook,” ‘’Santa Claus Land,” &c. Cloth, 16mo, illustrated. $1.50.
“If merit and interest be the gauges of success, this story will not want for readers. As in Miss Alcott's
‘Little Women,” the characters are drawn from life, and the pictures are the homely fireside etchings which come
home to readers of all ages.”—Boston Globe.
“It is a bewitching story—bright and witty and tender, and full of interest.—L. C. M. in N. Y. Tribune.
THE LITTLE FOLK LIFE SERIES.
- By GAIL HAMILTON and Mrs. R. H. STODDARD.
I. LITTLE FOLK LIFE. Part first. Illustrated. By Gail Hamilton.
II. LATTLE FOLK LIFE. Part second. Illustrated. By Gail Hamilton.
III. H.OLLY DINK2S DOINGS. Illustrated. By Mrs. R. H. Stoddard. Each volume in cloth. Elegan
‘Bric-a-Brac style, per vol., $1.25. Per set in box, $3.75.
“Nothing better has been offered in English to children in years. Gail Hamilton can put more witty wisdom
into an epigram than half a dozen other women writers spare to a three-volume novel. One of the most fasci-
nating juveniles of the season is “Lolly Dink's Doings,” by Mrs. R. H. Stoddard.—N. Y. Tribune.
IHOMIE RECREATHONS. By WILLIAM F. GILL. A complete manual of Tableaux and Theatricals for
Biome, School, and Stage. Fully illustrated. $1.50.
cº º IN ITALY; or Six Years Abroad. By EMILY H. WATSON. Cloth, 16mo, illus-
trated. $1.50.
“It is a volume—good, instructive, and vastly entertaining—written from the most interesting points of Italy.
Society and life in Rome are specially treated in a vein to suit little folks and to charm their elders.”—New York
JEvening Ezpress. -
CHILD. LHIFE IN EUROPE ; or, Stories of Gods and Heroes. A Sequel to “Child Life in Italy.” By
EMILY H. WATSON. . Cloth, 16mo, illustrated. $1.50. -
“A work of much interest for all American families who have children to educate while living in Europe.
The authoress had excellent opportunities of learning much in Italian life that travelers do not see nor compre-
hend.”—Godey's Ladies' Book.
Beady Oct. 19.
THE BABES IN THE WOOD. A Tragic Comedy by Prof. JAMES DE MILLE, author of the “Dodge
Club,” “The American Baron,” etc. Cloth, 8vo, illustrated. . $1.50. Paper. $1.00.

and Water, including "Doctor Ox and Other Stories.” By JüLEs WERNE. Holiday Edition. Fully illus-
ted. New Designs. Cloth, square 16mo. $1.50.
“The work shows the author's powers, in their most varied and brilliant vein, and will be more likely to
please a versatile taste than any other of his books. It is infinitely superior to “Meridiana,” and we shall be sur-
prised if “From the Clouds to the Mountains” is not as eagerly sought as were “Twenty Thousand Leagues
under the Sea” and “A Tour Round the World in Eighty Days.”—Philadelphia City Item.
THE IMIPEACHMENT OF THE Hous E OF BRUNs wick. By CHARLEs BRADLAUGH,

THE Rook MARKET.
NEw York, September 1, 1874.
Although few books have been published in
the past month, and the fall announcements
come late, there is a very hopeful feeling
among the trade, and during the busy season
about the usual number of new volumes will
be issued. The dullness in trade has made
publishers cautious in their ventures, and for
the most part, the books to be offered will
merit the attention of the reading world. It is
not the custom of most of our publishers to
make their announcements until a short time
before publication, so that little can yet be
said concerning the holiday volumes, and the
books which are to be reserved for the latter
part of the fall. They will receive due notice
In Ollr next.
D. Appleton & Co. have published the fifth
and concluding volume of Dr. Flint's Physiol-
ogy; a new volume, Barnaby Rudge, in their
quarto edition of Dickens; and William M.
Evarts' Eulogy on the late Chief Justice Chase,
in pamphlet. The second installment of Her-
bert Spencer's Descriptive Sociology tables is
nearly ready; also Uncle John, a novel by
Whyte Melville. The other books promised at
8, Il early day are, a new manual of Artillery
Tactics; an important work on Railway Earth-
400"º, to be accompanied by an atlas, by A. M.
Wellington, an American civil engineer; a
Volume of Clinical Lectures from Dr. William
A. Hammond ; and a Life of Columbus by Aaron
Goodrich, who will attempt to prove by means
of old documents which he has unearthed in
France and Spain, that Christopher Columbus
Was Somebody else, and that he did not discover
America. Dr. J.W. Howe, the author of Emerg-
ºnciè8, and how to treat them, has written a
treatise on Felid Breath and its Cure, which
will soon be published. The Appletons are
about issuing several important subscription
books, and it is to be deplored that they can-
not find it advisable to put them in the trade.
The numbers of Picturesque America will soon
be completed, and the work will be bound in
two large, handsome volumes. The first num-
bers of Picturesque Europe, are in preparation.
Mr. Schucker's Life of Chase, and Dr. Prime's
Life of Professor Morse, are both announced
for this month, as is also Chaplain J.W. Jones’
Personal Reminiscences of Gen. Robert E. Lee,
a work that has been indorsed by Gen. Lee's
family, and by the faculty of the college with
which he was connected. -
From Harper and Bros. we have a book of
whaling adventures in the Pacific, with the
title Nimrod of the Sea, written by Captain
William M. Davis, who gives it as a record of
actual experience. It is breezy and spirited,
and in a graphic manner presents the dangers
and excitements attending the capture of .
whales. The other August books from the
Harpers are a pamphlet on Hydrophobia,
translated from the French of H. Bonley, mem-
ber of the Institute of France, by Dr. A Liau-
tard, of the N. Y. College of Veterinary Sur-
geons; a novel from Mrs. Oliphant, For Love
and Life, which is one of her best; and Pro-
fessor Cairne's Political Economy, or, as the au-
thor styles it, Some Leading Principles of Polit-
Żcal Economy Newly Evpounded. Of course
there will always be a difference of opinion in
regard to the merits of works of this character,
but this is certainly a valuable work, and will
be accorded a place among the ablest on this
subject that have yet been written. The chap-
ters on International Trade and Values are of
peculiar interest to Americans. During Sep-
tember we are promised from this house
Parker Gilmore's Prairie and Forest, a capital
book of hunting life and adventures; a some-
what elaborate work by Dr. Leonard Bacon, on
the early church history of New England, with
the title Genesis of the New England Churchas,
to be embellished with portraits of noted pil-
grims, and pictures of their homes ; a History
of Germany, by Charles T. Lewis; the book of
the Khivan correspondent of The Herald, Mr.
J. A. MacGahan, Campaigning on the Oayus, to
be reprinted from the English edition ; a Life
of Admiral Foote, by Professor J. M. Hoppin,
of Yale ; and a goodly number of novels, in-

cluding another new one from Mrs. Oliphant,
one from Miss Craik, and one from Miss W. W.
Johnson.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. published
early in the month a second volume of Mr.
Stoddard's Bric-a-Brac series, and have just is-
sued the first two volumes in their new
“Epochs of History.” The new Bric-à-Brac is a
delightful, chatty volume of reminiscence and
anecdote of Thackeray and Dickens. Nothing
but a perusal of the volume will give the read-
er any idea of the richness of its contents. No
life of Thackeray has yet been written, and Mr.
Forster's Life of Dickens is far from being.
complete. More than half of this volume is
devoted to the Iormer, giving in collected form
the most interesting things that have been
written of him. The portion of the volume
relating to Dickens, gives us views of his
life which we fail to get from Forster. The
next volume of this admirable series of “Infin-
ite riches in a little room '' will be made up
from the letters of Mérimée, George Sand’s
JRecollections and Impressions, and Lamartine's
Twenty-five Years of My Life. The two vol-
umes in the Historical Epoch Series are the
Era of the Protestant Revolution, by F. Seebohm,
and The Crusaders, by G. W. Cox. The value
of these volumes, and of those to follow, to the
historical student, can hardly be over-estimated,
while they will be highly useful as reference
books. The aim is to present the incidents and
features of a period or epoch, and to give the
social, as well as the political history of the
time. We shall have immediately from Scrib-
ner's a new Werne book with the title, A Float-
£ng City—and The Blockade Runners ; George P.
Marsh's heavy work on The Earth, as Modified
by Human Action, and, a little later, the second
volume of Froude's The English in Ireland in
the 18th Century; the last volume of Dr. Cur-
tius' History of Greece; a work in two volumes
on Christian Dogmatics, translated from the
I)utch of Rev. Dr. J. J. Van Osterzee; a Manual
of Mythology, by Alexander S. Murray; and a
new edition of Stanley's How I Found Living-
stone, with additional matter. The next vol-
ume of the “Epochs of History” series will be
The Thirty Years' War, by S. R. Gardiner, the
author of a recently published History of Eng-
land under the Duke of Buckingham and
Charles the First.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have just published
Dorothy Wordsworth's Recollections of a Tour
made with William Wordsworth and Coleridge,
through Scotland in 1803, edited by Principal
Shairp, and now first issued in connection
with the English publishers, Though written
so long ago, it has been overlooked until now,
but is said to be unique and interesting. The
Putnams have also issued in their “Elementary
Science” series, a Manual of Biology, by Thomas
C. MacGinley; and in their “Advanced Science”
series, a work on Metallurgy, by W. H. Green-
wood, Associate of the Royal School of Mines.
Both scientific books are illustrated. Within
the month this house will issue Professor
James M. Hart’s work on The German Unº-
versities, in which the author speaks from
personal observation and experience, and
makes a critical comparison of the universities
of Germany with those of England and the
United States; a juvenile by Helen K. Johnson,
entitled Roddy's Romance, and a children’s
illustrated fairy story bearing the title Moon-
folk, by Mrs. Jane G. Austin. In time for the
holidays they will have ready Bryant's poem
Among the Threes, which was published in
Putnam’s Magazine, but now to be reprinted
for the first time, with illustrations by Jervis
MacIntee ; and a new illustrated edition of
Mrs. Hawthorne's Notes in England and Italy.
Robert Carter & Brothers have nearly ready
for issue a volume of general interest, by Dr.
Willis Lord, for many years a professor in the
Theological Seminary at Chicago, and subse-
quently president of the University of Wooster,
Ohio, entitled Christian Theology for the People
which, while it will be of important service to
clergymen and students of Theology, has
been prepared with more special reference to
the great body of Christian people. While
popular instruction is the object, it is not on
that account less elevated in character, or
orderly in form. All muatter suitable only
for scholars has been excluded. When technical
terms are used, or sentences from foreign
tongues, they are at once explained. The
whole is compacted into a single octavo
volume, so as to be put at a price within the
reach of all. Carter & Brothers also announce
Sceptres and Crowns, by the author of The
Wide, Wide World, a book for the young,
entitled Golden Apples, by Rev. Edgar Wood;
and juveniles by Dr. Newton and others.
President McCosh’s work on Scottish Philoso-
phy will be ready later in the fall, as will also
the second volume of the Life of Dr. Guthrie.
J. B. Ford & Co. announce for issue, about
the middle of the month, Henry Ward
Beecher's novel of New England village Life,
Norwood ; the third series of Beecher’s Yale
Lectures on Preaching ; Totnette, a romance of
southern life during the emancipation era,
by Henry Churton ; and two books for sports-
men, Field, Cover and Trap Shooting, by Cap-
tain A. H. Bogardus, and American Wild Fowl
Shooting, by Joseph W. Long. Rev. Edward
Beecher's serial, the History of Opinions of the
Scriptural Doctrines of Retribution, and Mrs.
Stowe's We and Our Neighbors, both running
in the Christian Union, will be issued in book
form during the fall. Of the juveniles in
preparation, we may mention the story of A.
Little Street-Sweeper, by Rev. Mr. Halliday,
the assistant pastor of Plymouth Church, and
a volume of tales to be called Boyty-Toyty, by
Dr. R. W. Raymond, the staid author of the
books on mines and mining.
Carleton has published a new novel, A
Charming Widow, by Miss Macquoid ; and
Dickens' Pictures of Italy, in their new edition
of that author's works. For September they
announce three more volumes of Dickens ;
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
291
West Lawn, a new novel from Mrs. Mary J.
Holmes; Tested, a novel by the author of
Stolen Waters ; and A Fatal Passion, which
they announce will be “reprinted from the
forty-first European edition.”
Dodd & Mead announce “ an October Story "
by that pleasing writer of country life, Rev.
E. P. Roe, which he calls Opening of a Chest-
mut Burr ; a volume by Edward Garrett, en-
titled Still Waters, which is to be illustrated ;
and a new and cheaper edition of Professor
Dana’s Corals, and Coral Islands. The new
volume in Abbott’s series of Pioneers and Pat-
riots, which will be ready early in the month,
is The Buccaneers of Captain Kidd.
James Miller has nearly ready a new edi-
tion of Griswold's Poets and Poetry of Eng-
land in the Nineteenth Century which they will
offer as a companion volume to the Poets and
Poetry of America. The former was first
published by Carey & Hart, twenty years ago,
but was long since out of print. The bio-
graphies in the work have been carefully re-
vised and nearly two hundred pages of new
matter added, including notices of some forty
poets not before included. The old selections
have in a few instances been changed for bet-
ter ones, and many new selections have been
added. The work of editing has been care-
fully done by Mr. R. H. Stoddard. It is
curious to compare the old edition with the
present. The old volume included neither
Robert Browning, Lord Lytton, Alford,
Trench, Doyle, Aytoun, Matthew Arnold,
Gerald Massey, Christina Rosetta, Sidney
Dobell, who has just died, Adelaide Proc-
tor, nor Jean Ingelow. Even Tennyson,
at the time of its preparation, was hardly
known. He had in the old book two and a
half pages; now he has twenty-four. Eliza-
beth Barrett, now Mrs. Browning, had four
pages; now she fills fourteen. The volume
will contain nearly six hundred pages, with
steel portraits of Campbell, Keets, Hood, Sir
Walter Scott, Tennyson, Tom Moore, and
others. Mr. Miller is reprinting some of their
most popular books, and putting them in
libraries, with new bindings. Among them
is the little illustrated 16mo known as the
Galaay of Wºt and Wisdom, which has been
revised and received additions. Among the
earliest holiday volumes that will be ready
is a red line edition” of Shelley, in a small
quarto, to match Osgood’s Tennyson and
Longfellow. It will have a binding of moroc-
co, be illustrated, and prefaced with Lowell’s
memoirs of the poet.
Henry Holt & Co. have published Sime's
History of Germany, edited by Edward A.
Freeman. I like the previous volumes of
this series, it is handy and valuable, giving
a concise but distinct and clear history of
the Germans from the earliest times to the
treaty of Frankfort in 1871. The volume
is to be followed by histories of America,
France, and Greece. Holt & Co. have nearly
ready a book which will claim "much at-
}
f

i
France, by Prof. C. K. Adams, being an ex-
tension of his papers on the subject con-
tributed to the reviews. Our acquaintance
with French politics is none too intimate,
and the book will be all the more welcome
from the fact that so few are written upon
the subject. Mr. C. H. Jones, who is condens-
ing Boswell’s Johnson, after the manner of
Clarissa Harlowe, will edit a volume of modern
“Vers de Société,” for the holidays, which
will comprise the best poems of Frederick
Locker, Austin Dobson, C. C. Calverly, Lan-
dor, Swinburne, Leigh Hunt, Praed, Thack-
eray, and other gay and witty writers.
Mr. E. Steiger, who is indefatigable in his
efforts to supply convenièmt manuals for the
study of languages, has recently published a
Second Course of Ahn's French Method, con-
taining French and English exercises for
those who have gone through the First
Course, the Elements of French Grammar,
and a vocabulary of all the words occurring
in the exercises. The two courses are now
bound in one volume, making a most complete
manual for the acquisition of the French
language. A key to the exercises is printed
for the use of teachers and those who are
studying without a master.
Mr. Steiger has also recently published Dr. P.
Henn’s Ahm’s Rudiments of the German Lam-
guage, an elementary work based upon Ahn's
system, but in other respects original, and
designed to meet the requirements of our
public schools. The use of the German script
is taught from the commencement, and the
words used in the exercises are most judi-
ciously selected to enable the public to make
use of them in conversation. A key is pub-
lished as an aid to the teacher and private
learner. Dr. Henn has also prepared a series
of useful German Reading Charts; and a series
of French Reading Charts, each accompanied
by a hand-book for the teacher, and a French
Primer, which is designed to enable the pupil
to acquire a correct pronounciation, and to
accustom his ear to the unfamiliar French
sounds. The charts have been prepared with
great care and the assistance which they will
afford to both teacher and pupil, in the class-
room, can hardly be dispensed with.
BosTon, August 29, 1874.
This month has been principally employed
by our publishers in preparing their fall lists.
Trade has been very dull, and few books have
as yet been issued ; but on the first of Septem-
ber it is expected that business will begin
again in earnest, and our publishers will be
fully prepared to satisfy the demands of the
trade. The announcements are quite full and
include many books which cannot fail to se-
cure a favorable reception. There are trans-
lations from French and German writers, re-
prints of some of the best English books, and
a fair proportion from American authors.
Lee & Shepard announce for September first
tention, on the Democracy and Monarchy of Katherine Earle, an illustrated novel by Ade-
292
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
l
line Trafton, author of the bright and racy
letters of An American Girl Abroad ; Not in
their Set, from the German of Marie Leuzen ;
Sacred Dramas, by James Boxer ; and two new
juveniles from Oliver Optic, The Coming Wave;
or, The Hidden Treasure of High Rock, a capital
sea story for boys, and Sunny Shores; or, Young
America in Italy and Austria. The former will
go into the Yacht Club Series, the latter into
the Young America Abroad Series. The latter
series has been most deservedly popular, and
it is sufficient to say that this volume fully
equals the others in merit. Mr. Adams has
traveled extensively among the scenes he de-
picts, and the book will instruct while it
amuses. Miss Trafton’s novel has been pub-
lished as a serial in Scribner's, and has received
nothing but praise from its readers. To the
the readers of An American Görl Abroad, the
author's name is sufficient recommendation.
Marie Leuzen is rapidly coming into favor as
a novelist in her own country, and, no doubt,
this excellent translation of Not in their Set,
by M. L. will find many appreciative readers
here. It is a German society story of the
trials of a young girl left dependent on her
own exertions, and who has to struggle against
the prejudices of class which still prevail in
Germany. Mr. Boxer's book of Sacred Dramas
is an attempt to portray ancient. Hebrew life
and character. The dramas are three in num-
ber, all readable and not without animation
and interest. The subjects selected are “Naa-
man the Syrian,” “The Finding of Moses,” and
“Jephtha's Daughter.” Later in September
we shall have from Lee & Shepard The Lily
and the Cross, a story of Nova Scotia, the
Acadia of the early French settlers, during
the French and English wars in the early part
of the eighteenth century; Our Helen, a story
by Sophie May ; a volume of able sermons on
Fternal Punishment, by the author of Credo,
Rev. Dr. L. T. Townsend ; two volumes from
Rev. Robert Collyer, Simple Truth, a book of
good counsels, which the publishers announce
as designed for a wedding gift, and Dectures to
Young Mem, and Women ; and a devotional
volume from Rev. Dr. Manning, of the Old
South Church in this city, entitled Helps to a
Life of Prayer. Jennie June's book is in the
hands of the printer and will probably appear
before the first of October. It is a series of
papers on marriage, under the title For Better
or Worse. Petroleum V. Nasby’s book, which
is also going through the press, is a clever,
satire on politics and society, under the title
Abou Ben Adhem : Eastern Fruits on Western
Dishes. An eastern sage listens to the com-
plaints of modern society, and gives advice
thereon. The volume is funnily dedicated to
the author’s mother-in-law, whose virtues are
set forth in an extravagant manner. Mr. J.
E. Babson, who delights in rummaging in odd
corners for fugitive literature, and to whom
we are indebted for the Wishing Cap Papers
and Douglas Jerrold's Fºreside Saints, has pre-
pared a volume of hitherto uncollected papers
of Sir Richard Steele, familiarly known as
Dick Steele, which will be issued early in the
fall. The story for girls, by Mr. George M.
Baker, the author of a large number of ama-
teur plays, entitled Running to Waste : a Story
of a Tom-Boy, which has been running in
Oliver Optic's Magazine, will soon be issued in
book form. It abounds in incidents, pathos,
and humor, and will entertain not only the
children, but those who refuse longer to be
classed among the juveniles. During the
month this house will issue a new cdition of
Voss's Manual for Railroad Engineers, the
two volumes in one, at a greatly reduced
rice ; also a new edition of Alford's Greek
Testament, which has been out of print for
Some months. This edition will be printed
from stereotype plates, the first that have
been made for it. Colonel T. W. Higginson's
Elistory of the United States will be ready be-
fore winter. Though announced as a “Young
Folks' History,” it is by no means a juvenile
work. If the portions which have been made
public are fair samples of the work, the author
deserves much credit for the manner in which
he has put dry historical facts into interesting
narrative.
William F. Gill & Co. have just published
Charles L. Flint's Milch Cows and Dairy Farm-
£ng, with an additional chapter on Associated
Dairies, which makes it one of the most com-
plete and useful works on this subject in
existence. For the fall they announce a goodly
list, including a book of humor from the Dan-
bury News Man, no part of which has ever
been printed ; two stories from Wilkie Col-
lins; one from James De Mille, the character
of which is indicated by the title, The Babes in
the Wood: A Tragic Comedy, a satire on Mo-
dern Christianity, by the author of The Fight
at Dame Europa’s School, presented in a dis-
cussion between an avowed infidel and a pastor
of the church of England; Charles Bradlaugh’s
book entitled The Impeachment of the House of
Brunswick, and the long announced Lotos
Leaves, which will be ready about the first of
October, and will be one of the finest art books
of the season. It will contain poems, sketches,
and essays, contributed by the members of the
Lotus Club, among the more prominent of
whom are Wilkie Collins, Mark Twain, John
Hay, Edmund Yates, Whitelaw Reid, John
Elderkin, and John Brougham, the last two
of whom are the editors. The illustrations
are also by members of the club, Fredericks,
Lumley, Gilbert Burling, and John Lafarge,
having contributed original designs. Wilkie
Collins' The Frozem Deep will be issued in Oc-
tober, and a little later The Dream, Woman.
will be published. In the former, in its original
dramatic form, it will be remembered, Charles
Dickens appeared with the author. The full
cast of the play as presented on that occasion,
will be printed as an introduction to the book.
The story of The Dream Woman is somewhat
familiar to those who have heard the author's
readings; but the complete version, which
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
293
will now be printed for the first time, is much
longer than the version read, and contains
more characters. A number of new juveniles
will be issued early in the season by Gill &
Co., including several works from Gail Hamil-
to II, a volume from R. H. Stoddard , and Miss
Amanda M. Douglas' The Old Woman that
Lives in a Shoe.
Little, Brown & Co. have published only
ław books during the month, the principal of
which are volume ten of Clark and Finnelly's
Beports, and the fourth volume of the new
series of the United States Digest. This series
dates from 1870. The old series came down
to that date, when it reached thirty-one vol-
umes, containing twenty-six alphabets, so that
a reference to any particular subject neces-
sitated an examination of twenty-six volumes.
The publishers have undertakón the task of
rearranging and republishing the matter in
these thirty-one volumes of about eight hun-
dred pages each, in about twelve, with a single
alphabetical index, for which work of love the
lawyers should be truly thankful. It will
certainly be a long time before the publish-
ers will reap the pecuniary profits of such
an undertaking. Nothing has been omitted,
but some of it has been rewritten for the sake
of conciseness. Two volumes in the revised
form have been issued, and the third will be
forthcoming in September. The new series,
of which volume four (for the present year) is
just issued, will be continued as before, The
most important book announced by this house
for September, and perhaps the most important
book of the season, is the tenth and concluding
volume of Bancroft’s History of the United
States, the first volume of which was issued
just forty years ago. For this work the author
bas received the highest commendations, and
it has been frequently pronounced one of the
ablest in the language. Some of the earlier
volumes have passed through almost innumer-
able editions; the first three, comprising the
History of the Colonization of the United
States, being in the fifteenth edition as early
as 1853. Another important book on the list
of Little, Brown & Co. for September is The
Old Regime in Canada, by Francis Parkman,
being the fourth volume of Parkman’s Series
of Histories of the early Settlement of America.
The other volumes in the series are The Dis-
covery of the Great West, Pioneers of France in
the New World, and The Jesuits in North
America in the 17th Century. Mr. Parkman is
an able historical writer, and his new volume
will command attention.
Roberts Brothers have shown the greatest
wisdom in the selection of their books for the
fall. Their list is not a long one, but it com-
prises some of the best books of the season.
Among the first to be issued will be the Cor-
Tespondence of William Ellery Chamming, D.D.,
and Lucy Aiken, edited by Anna Letitia Bre-
fon.

of topic which engaged the minds of thinking
men and women in this country and in Eng-
land during those years. Politics, religion,
the social questions of those days, even the
relative merits of the English and American
women, are freely discussed by two of the
most careful observers of the times, who differ
just enough to sharpen argument. “Topic
enough,” says Miss Aiken in one of her letters,
“since the interests of all mankind are ours.”
The volume will be found very interesting and
profitable reading. George Sand’s novel, My
Sister Jeannie, will also be issued in September.
It is translated from the French by Mr. Crocker,
of The Literary World, a guarantee that none
of its excellencies will be marred. Later in
the season, we shall have Hamerton’s critical
and practical treatise on Etching and Etchers,
the etchings for which are now near comple-
tion in Paris, and, in time for Christmas, the
same author's Sylvan Year, in a quarto, with
beautiful etchings. Walter Besant's volume
on The French Humorists, from the twelfth to
the nineteenth century, will be ready in Octo-
ber, also Arthur Help's Life of Thomas Brassey,
the self-made English millionaire ; a hand-
some edition of that scientific and entertain-
ing work of H. W. Bates, The Naturalist on
the River Amazon, and the long announced
story of Boy School-day Life, by Robert T. S.
Lowell, brother to the poet. Roberts Brothers
have a number of notable volumes in prepara-
tion for the holidays, which we shall notice in
Our next.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. announce a new
series of children’s books to be called “Juve-
nile Classics.” The first two volumes, which
are nearly ready, are The Cellar Door Club, and
Other Stories, by Rev. Edward Eggleston; and
The Young Moose-Hunters, by C. A. Stephens,
the author of the popular “Camping Out"
series. The volumes which are to follow will
be Verne's The Mysterious Island; Sons of the
Saddle, translated from the the Spanish by W.
E. Endicott, and a number of others equally
popular and appropriate. They will be printed
and bound in good style, and liberally illus-
trated, . Their other books for the month will
be Rand's book on Bulbs, which has been re-
vised and abridged; the same author's The
Window Gardemen", and new editions of several
of their most popular series of juveniles.
Bayard Taylor's Iceland Letters are among
their announcements, and Rev. Peter Pennott's
. New England story Achsah, now running in
their magazine, American Homes, will be pub-
lished in book form.
J. R. Osgood & Co. have published the late
Commissioner Walker's interesting paper on
The Indian Question, which appeared last year
in The North American Review, with a colored
map, showing the location of the various
tribes; and The Clique of Gold, a novel by
Emile Gaboriau, translated by M. Schele de
Vere. Osgood's list for the fall is a very full
one and a very good one. It includes several
other volumes by Gaboriau; A Rose in June,

little later they will issue a new volume on
The Education of Girls, by Dr. E. H. Clarke;
Famous Paintings and Painters, by Mrs. J. H.
Shedd; a new volume of poems from Trow:
bridge, and Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy, by
John Fiske, M.A., LL.B. A new edition of
the works of Mrs. Jameson will soon be issued
in ten volumes. Cheap editions in paper of
Verne's Dr. Oa, and Other Stories, and of The
Tour of the World in Eighty Days, are also
soon to be issued in opposition to the cheap
editions of the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Estes & Lauriat have published in their
“Half-Hour Recreations in Popular Science,”
The Circulation of the Waters on the Face of the
Barth, which makes the twelfth number or
part of the first series, which are all now pub-
lished in one volume. They have also publish-
ed the second and concluding volumes of the
Memories of Westminster Hall, and of the Me-
7moir of Thomas, First Lord Denman, and the
third volume of Campbell’s Lord Chancellors.
In September they will issue in their Popular
Science Half-Hour series, Tyndall’s paper on
“The Transmission of Sound by the Atmos-
phere,” “Brain and Mind,” by Professor Wil-
der of Cornell, “The Glacial Epoch on Oul
Globe,” by Alex. Braun, Geikie’s “Ice Age in
Greaf Britain,” and “The Sun and the Earth,”
by Professor Balfour Stewart. Among their
other books for early issue are a new revised
edition of Packard’s Gwide to the Study of In-
8écts, an important work on the Anatomy,
Physiology, and Hygiene of the Human Repro-
ductive Organs, by Professor Burt G. Wilder,
bearing the title, What Young People Should
JKnow) ; Lights and Shadows of Ministerial Life,
in which the author, who we are given to un-
derstand is a prominent clergyman himself,
graphically treats of the successes and failures
of ministers.; and a work that cannot but be
well received, on The Discrepancies of the Bible,
by Professor John W. Haley, of Andover, with
an introduction by Rev. Dr. Alvah Hovey.
The author has been employed on this work
for many years, during which time he has
made quite an extensive collection of books
bearing upon the subject from all languages.
D. 1 othrop & Co. have become the owners
of the plates of Bungener's Historical Ro-
mances. Boundaloue and Louis XIV. , Louis
JY V. avid his Times; Rºtbaut and Bridaine, and
The Tower of Comstancy, ail of which they will
bring out in September, in fine bindings, on
tinted paper. These works received high
praise, when first published years ago, but
they are new to most of the readers of to-day.
They are written with much ability and the
charms of romance are most happily combined.
with historical fact. Stella and the Priest, by
Laurie Loring, is also announced for Septem-
ber, and a new book by Pansy. Mrs. Henry
Steele Clarke, who is most pleasantly remem-
bered as the author of The Marble Preacher, has.
a new book in the press entitled Their Children,
in which the characters of her former book
are introduced. Lothrop & Co., in putting up
their juveniles in series for the fall trade, have:
reduced the price of many of them and im-
proved the style of others. For instance, the
books of the “Boy's Holiday Library,” which
formerly sold for 75c. each, are now offered at.
50c. “The Little Folks' Series” are now put
up at just one-half the former price, with a
pretty chromo on the cover of each.
Henry Hoyt has recently published a live-
ly book for boys, giving Charley Bartlett’s Ad-
wentures in New York; and a volume which
the girls will find entertaining and profitable,.
with the title Miriam Brandom, by Mrs. J. F.
Moore ; also a smaller volume called Rose,
Bobim, and Little May, Mr. Hoyt will add to
his list a number of good books within the
month, including two by Pansy, and one en-
titled William, Prince of Orange, an historical
narrative by T. M. Merriman, which “sets
forth the great and terrible struggle, putting
down of the inquisitorial power in Nether-
lands, and setting free of religious thought ;
in fact, showing him to be the real founder of
religious freedom in the New World.”
Loring will issue in a few days Camilla: A
Tale of the Violin, by Charles Barnard, which
has appeared in the columns of Voa, Humana,
and purports to portray the artist life of Ca-
milla Urso ; also, in the Luck and Pluck series,
Risen from the Ranks, by Horatio Alger, and
Bold and Brave, by the same author, to be the
initial volume of a new series.
The new firm of Young & Bartlett. will
issue some excellent new books for boys and
girls, and Mrs. Hamilton Thomas' Drifted Snow'
Flakes, which has lately been out of print.
The two series will be reprinted in one hand-
some quarto volume, on tinted paper. They
will also reprint in September, Leaves Gathered,
and Thoughts that Cluster.
PHILADELPHIA, September 1, 1874.
Our school-book publishers have been quite.
active during the month, in filling orders for
the fall terms and in the preparation of new
books. Their business bids fair to be heavier
than in any previous year. The medical book
houses have also been busy, preparing for the
return of the students, and the publishers of
law books have added some important books.
to their lists. In miscellaneous books, little
has yet been done. Our publishers, however,
are returning from their vacations and getting
to work 10r the fall campaign. They are not
yet ready to make their announcements in

full, but they anticipate a good season’s trade,
and will not be caught napping.
The Petersons still continue to cater to the
popular demand for fiction, and the taste must
be capricious indeed that cannot be suited
from their long list of American and foreign
authors. They are constantly printing new
editions of the standard novels of Eugene
Sue, Alexander Dumas, James, Reynolds, Mrs.
Southworth, Mrs. Stephens, and a score of
other popular authors. They have lately
added to their fifty cent paper novels, Love at
First Sight, or The Belle of the Season, by Cap-
tain Henry Curling; and announce for this
month A New Way to Win a Fortune, by Miss
Eliza A. Dupuy; and three novels by Mrs.
Henry Wood : Clara Lake's Dream, The
Diamond Bracelet; and The Nobleman’s Wife.
The Messrs. Peterson do not contribute to the
semi-annual trade sales; but, preferring to
deal with the trade direct, they offer them
special inducements in prices this month.
Porter & Coates have just added to their
“International Series” of novels, Mrs. M. C.
Despard’s Chaste as Ice and Pure as Snow, and
have issued in their illustrated edition of Sir
Walter Scott, Ivanhoe, and Monastery. Of the
more important works which they have in
preparation for the coming season, they will
first issue The Wild North Land, by Captain
N. F. Butler; being the story of a winter
journey with dogs through Northern North
America. Some three years ago this author
made a very favorable impression in book
circles by publishing an account of a tour
which he made through Canada, and there are
doubtless many who, having read that work,
will look with some eagerness for the forth-
coming volume. Captain Butler writes in a
brisk and spirited style, with a ready pen and
pleasant humor, and this later volume may be
commended as a fair and often very picturesque
account of a portion of our continent with
which we are by no means familiar. It will
be embellished with sixteen handsome full-
page engravings and maps. Pennsylvania Il-
lustrated, announced for August, will not be
ready before the middle of September. It is to
be very liberally illustrated, and will present
a decidedly attractive appearance. The Sports-
man's Club among the Trappers, by Harry
Castlemon, making the third and concluding
volume of this popular series, is also just
ready. They have in preparation some other
important publications, which will be an-
nounced as the season advances.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued The Lost
Model, a romance by Henry Hooper ; a story
of African mission life, with the title Crowned
$n Palm Land, by R. H. Nassau; an illustrated
History of the German Emperors and their Con-
temporaries, translated from the German and
compiled from authentic sources by Elizabeth
Peake; Bigelow’s long announced Life of
Benjamin Franklin, in three crown octavo
volumes; Lord Neaves' Greek Anthology; and
new editions of Hazlitt's Life of Napoleon Bo-
naparte; Heinrich Stephens’ German Univer-
sity Life; and the first volume of Prescott's
History of Philip II. The Life of Franklin is
edited from his manuscripts, correspondence
and other writings, by Hon. John Bigelow.
German University Life is a sort of autobiogra-
phy, giving an account of the author's career as
a student and professor in the universities,
and containing interesting reminiscences of
Goethe, Schiller, Schlegel, Fichte, and many
other Germans who are noted in the world of
learning and letters. The Greek Anthology
makes the last volume of the series of Ancient
Classics, which have been given to American
readers by the Lippincotts. Lord Neaves, in
this volume, in an interesting and scholarly
manner, classifies and describes the epigrams
and poems, Selecting as examples the best
English translations, which in some cases are
his own. The forthcoming books from this
house are, a story of A Modern Ch'esswda, by
Francis Asheton ; Charteris, a romance by
Mary M. Meline. The second volume of J.
Foster Kirk's new edition of Prescott's Philip
II.; a work on The Recent Origin of Man, by
James C. Southall, another on the Antiquity
of Man, by A. Hoyle Lester, with the title The
Pre-Adamite ; or, Who Tempted Eve 2 and a
book on boys, by Julia A. Willis, entitled
What a Boy / in which the author will attempt
to solve the difficult problems, “What shall we
do with him 2 What will he do with himself?
and Who is to blame for the consequences?”
John E. Potter & Co. have published Mr. L.
D. Ingersoll's Life of Horace Greeley, which
was mentioned in my last, and will issue in a
few days a work on the farmers’ movement,
by Stephen Smith, entitled Grains for the
Grangers ; The Secret Service in the Late War,
by L. C. Baker; and a new book on Living-
stone and the Stanley-Herald expedition.
Cowperthwait & Co. are about to add to
their list of school-books a new speller, First
Steps, by Professor Lewis B. Monroe ; a new
Analytical Geometry, by Professor H. T. Eddy;
and two volumes to Professor Hagar's Mathe-
matical Series, a book of Dictation. Evercises
and Reviews, and a Key to the Common School
Arithmetic. This firm will issue by subscrip-
tion Rev. T. De Witt Talmage's book, Around
the Tea-Table.
Wm. B. Evans & Co. will issue this month

LONDON, August 12, 1874.
This has proved another dull month for
books, and the publication of a number of
volumes ready for issue has been postponed
till the autumn. Authors are off for their
holidays, collecting material for their winter's
work, the indefatigable novelists included,
if we are to judge from Messrs. Tinsley's list,
for even that firm has not a single novel “ in
preparation.” Mr. Trübner is about to pub-

lish a reduced fac-simile of the celebrated
1623 folio of Shakespeare's plays by the Dal-
lastype method. The work will be produced
under the care of Mr. Dallas, and as the plays
will be published separately, at two shillings
each, the general public will at last be enabled
to compare more modern edition with the
original publication. The first part will ap-
pear in December, Lord Russel’s volume of
reminiscences of his political life is now in
the hands of the printer, and will be pub-
lished in about three months. A magnificent
edition of the late Sheridan Knowles’ works
has been printed for private circulation only,
at the expense of Mr. James McHenry.
Messrs. Longman & Co. have just issued a
story with a strange title, “Centulle,” by
Denys Shyne Lawlor ; also, “ The Life of
Christ, for the Use of Young Persons,” by Mr.
R. B. Gardiner, M.A.; and the seventh and
concluding volume of James Spedding's
edition of the Life and Letters of Francis
Bacon. Messrs. Chapman and Hall have ready
a couple of new novels, both by well-known
writers, “Uncle John,” by Whyte Melville,
and “Ruling the Roost,” by Lady Wood.
Mr. J. L. Geiger has a very interesting work
called “A Peep at Mexico,” to be published by
Messrs. Trübner. “George Goring,” by Cecil
Rushton, displays far more cleverness and ob-
servation than is to be found in most of the
novels of the day, and yet it is undeniably
“fast.” So many books have been written
upon dogs that Captain Gordon Stables, M.D.,
deserves great credit for his work upon the
favorite yet little noticed cat, “Cats: Their
Points and Characteristics,” is the title of his
volume, and it will be long before we get again
such a series of faithful cat-portraits, and so
Inuch information as is here presented. “The
King’s Stratagem; or, the Pearl of Poland”
is the title of a new five-act tragedy, by
Stella, the popular authoress of the “Rec-
ords of the Heart.” Mr. Henry Siebe has
written a capital new book for boys, one
which combines the useful and the entertain-
ing in the most pleasing way. It is called
“The Conquest of the Sea,” and will be found
not only suited to children, but instructive to
grown-up people as well. Messrs. Warren &
Co. have added to their Chandos classics two
delightful volumes, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and
also those of Hans Christian Andersen. Both
are new translations by Mrs. H. H. B. Paull,
who has specially arranged them for young
people, and with this view a few of the stories
have been omitted and obscure passages have
been explained. -

THE Convention AND its RESULTs
That the convention was a success, even
beyond the most sanguine hopes of its
what was actually accomplished, as in the
projectors, is, thanks to the judicious
and untiring efforts of those who had
it in charge, beyond dispute; but its
Success is not so much in possibilities
for which it opened the way. As an
organization of the book trade, it was
all that could be desired, but the task
of reforming the trade is but just begun.
One result so far is that there is a better
feeling established between the publishers
and the retailers, a sort of fellowship of
common interests, and if the meeting at
Put-in-Bay had accomplished no more
than to secure this bond of union, based
upon a better understanding of each
others' wants and wishes, and of the rela-
tions which each class sustains to the
other, it would have been an important
work. -
But it has done much more. It has in-
spired confidence and demonstrated what
may be accomplished by persevering ef-
fort to redeem the trade from what many
considered its permanent evils. Those
who were discouraged are taking heart.
Those who have seen error, but have been
deterred from combating it by their own
timidity and the seeming disinterested-
ness of others, are becoming practical re-
formers. The American book trade has a
head. Somebody is authorized to listen
to grievances and ventilate abuses. Cus-
toms which have been established by in-
dividual greed or caprice, are to be
moulded into general laws, based upon
safe principles of trade. This fact of an
organization cannot but have an invigor.
ating influence. If the many noble words
spoken in the convention, in behalf of the
trade as a profession, have the effect for
which they are calculated, to stimulate a
wholesome pride in the business, and in-
creased effort on the part of those en-
gaged in it to make themselves better
qualified for its demands, it will not be
among the least important of its results.
With the resolutions adopted, we have
heard no dissatisfaction, except that they
do not go far enough. The only one mak-
ing any important innovation into the
customs of the trade, is that limiting dis-
counts to those outside of the trade to
twenty per cent. On miscellaneous and
school books, and ten per cent. on medi-
cal books.
who argue that there are no better reasons
why discounts on medical books should be
given to physicians, or on theological
books to ministers, than on novels to novel
readers. Each class of books is made for
a particular class of readers, and it is only
that class, in the main, who buy them.
There is one large house, at least, that
more than a year ago adopted the rule of
giving no discounts at all except to those
who buy to sell again; and, except for the
first few weeks of the new system, they
have had but little difficulty in carrying
it out. But it seems to have been the al-
most unanimous opinion of the members
of the convention, that such a rule could
not at this time be adopted by the entire
trade. If such discounts could not be dis-
continued, the action of the convention in
limiting them was a wise one. This is the
testing point of the platform, and it is yet
to be seen whether it will be generally
adopted. The publishers of Sunday-school
books, who some time ago limited them-
selves to twenty-five per cent., shrink
from again reducing the discount, at least
during the present year; but, as they sub-
scribe to the principle, it is not improb-
able that in the near future they will sub-
scribe to the figures. With medical books
there will be more difficulty, and in this
direction there is much work for the re-
formers. It will be well for the dissatisfied
to remember, that to accomplish all that
needed to be done, to restore order out of
chaos, is not the work of a single conven-
tion, or of a single year. The reforms that
have been attempted in England and else-
where, and have failed, by passing the
bounds of practicability, should teach us
to make haste slowly. It is better to err
on the safe side and leave the way open
for future action, than to jeopardize the
whole movement by an impracticable ex-
of the local trade for this purpose.
action.
One of the notable results of the conven-
tion, is apparent in the movements that
are being made, to unite sections or classes
for the protection of local or special inter-
ests. We hear of a number of projected
meetings in different parts of the country
The
law book publishers, who were almost
wholly ignored by the convention, are ar-
ranging for a meeting at an early day.
The Western jobbers led the way in adopt-
ing for themselves a list of uniform dis-
counts, and promptly called upon the

THE AMERICAN B00KSELLERS GUIDE.
uniformity. All of these new regulations
are only experiments, and may, in the
future, be abandoned for something better.
It is still a question whether it would not
be better to scale discounts according to
the amount of the bill, and leave the rest
to the trade. The existence of the Associ-
ation has made possible a full and free
discussion of all these questions, Out of
which, it is hoped, will be evolved the wisest
measures. We would add a word of cau-
tion in regard to these unions of special
interests. No agreement should be made
without a most careful consideration of
its fairness and results. Any compact
that is not based upon identical interests
and mutual advantage, will as certainly
be broken. Any combination which does
not consult the interests of the entire
trade, will not only fail, but will endanger
future measures, however wise.

FHILADELPHIA Discounts.
RICHMOND, WA., August 20, 1874.
EDITOR BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE:
Dear Sir—Allow me to correct a statement made by
your Philadelphia correspondent, in his letter of August
lst, in which he says: “Our publishers of medical books
do not care to retail at all, &c., and do not feel called
upon to reform.” The fact is, the discount to the trade
on medical books is 25 per cent. On $100 worth, and yet
the publishers sell to students at 20 per cent. on small
quantities. I think this does need reform.
The law-book publishers are still worse. Their dis-
count is 30 per cent., and sometimes one-third, and they
retail a single book to consumers over the counter at 25
per cent., and in small lots at one-third.
IRecently one of them sent a drummer through Mary-
land and Virginia, who sold a single book at 25 per
cent., and in one instance that I know of, offered a law.
yer books at less than he offered to the trade. If this
don't need reform, I don't know what does. Some of
the Philadelphia booksellers have done more to demor-
alize the trade than those in any other part of the coun-
try. It has not been such a long time since the adver-
tisement of one of the large publishers of Philadelphia
could be seen, of “Books retailed at wholesale prices.”
In no other branch of business does the manufacturer
come in contact with the retailer of his own goods.
And here let me ask why the minister, teacher, student,
or the outside public, should be entitled to any discount
whatever? The publisher has no right, in justice to
the bookseller, to retail a book at less than the full price.
Why not make the price lower, discount to the trade
less, and stick to it? The public think books too high,
and they may be; but if the publisher wishes to retail a
75-cent book at 60 cents, why don’t he advertise it at 60
cents, and sell it for that ?

the statement is going the rounds of the
papers we mention it simply to say that no
authority can be found for it.

The first volume of the new edition of the
Encyclopædia Britannica is nearly ready. The
rapid progress of science has made it neces-
sary to re-write nearly the whole work, and
more than half the matter will be entirely
new. The work has been distributed among
the most noted scientists and writers of the
day, and no pains will be spared to sustain
the reputation acquired by the previous
editions. Little, Brown & Co. will republish
it here from the British plates.
Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. have in press a
volume of modern Vers de Société, which will
comprise the best poems of Frederick Locker,

burne, Leigh Hunt, Praed, Thackeray, and
other poets and wits who have given to “so-
ciety verses” a distinct place in the literature
of our time. The volume will be issued in a
style appropriate to its contents, and to the
conspicuous position it is intended to occupy
on our library tables.

THE Stationery MARKET
Business for the month has been fair, but in general has fallen short of the expectations of many. The feeling is
still hopeful, and the indications are that the season's trade will be good, but will be distributed pretty evenly through
the season.
Fewer fancy goods than usual are in the market, and importations have not been heavy. No material
changes in prices have been made, except in a few lines where competition has slightly broken them.
Adjustable Book Covers.
Will fit any book. Useful for everybody. Per 100... $1 75

THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANYS
LIST OF
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence ; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d,—Money sept by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.--The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or carting in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazimes on sale to those who specially order w8 mot to do so, but do send all mew publications to owr dealers, whless
they order ws not to do so. We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express; to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.—News-
dealers pay the Postage on their Packages of Newspapers und Periodicals as received, at the same rate of postage as if
paid quarterly in advance.

NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. BOUND BOOKS, One Cent for every Two Ounces.
MAGAZINES, One Cent for every Four Ounces. PAPER COVERED NOVELS, do. dO.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,

per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form : -

VOL. VIII.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPTEMBER, 1874.
No. 7.

TIONs, with brief notices of their contents, etc., together with announcements of works
in Press. i -
It is published on the 1st of each month, and will be mailed, without charge, to

All orders from the Trade or Public Institutions, either for our own publications
or for the issues of other houses, American or Foreign, will be executed with care and

J. B. LIPPINCOTT & Co.
LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE.
THE October number of this popular
monthly, profusely illustrated, will be well
sustained in all its departments, and will.
present a remarkably varied and attractive
contents. -
-*
TWO SUCCESSFUL NOVELS.
THE publishers desire to call the atten-
tion of the public and the trade to Mrs.
Wister's two last translations, “The Second
Wife,” by E. Marlitt, and “Hulda,” by F.
Lewald, undoubtedly the most attractive
works of fiction published this season. The
fact that within a few weeks after their issue
the former has reached its sixth edition,
and the latter its fifth edition, is ample evi-
dence of their popularity.
LIFE, OF NAPOLEON.
THE trade have long felt the want of a
good and cheap library edition of the life
of Napoleon the First. Messrs. J. B. Lip-
pincott & Co., of Philadelphia, have met
this demand in the republication, in three
neat 12mo volumes, of Hazlitt's Life of this
great French general. It is published at
the low price of $1.50 per volume, and is
attractively bound.
This work, which has long been out of
print in this country, will be appreciated
by the American public in its new dress.
ANCIENT CLASSICS FOR ENGLISH
- READERS.
THE issue of the twentieth volume, “The
Greek Anthology,” by Lord Neaves, com-
pletes this really very valuable series. The
aim of the editor has been to explain in
brief who the great writers of Greece and
Rome were, what they wrote, and what are
the distinguishing characteristics of each ;
also to present a short sketch of the life of
each. The high praise which has been
bestowed by the press on the volumes as
they appeared is an ample assurance of
the success of his undertaking.
The series will be found of great value
to the general reader who may desire to
familiarize himself with these classic wri-
ters and their works; also to the scholar,
to refreshen his recollection of past studies.
The volumes are published by Messrs. J. B.
Lippincott & Co., in neat 12mo form, bound
in cloth, at $1.00 per volume.

A Story of African Mission Life. By R. H.
NASSAU. With Illustrations. I2me. Extra

By HEINRICH STEFFENS. Translated by
WILLIAM L. GAGE. New Edition.
Fine cloth. $1.25.
This charmingly-written volume possesses a rare
attraction in depicting a life which is always pe-
culiarly interesting, that of a student and professor
in the German Universities, and at a time when the
I 2nn O.
historical and literary associations of the German
University are of especial interest. Furthermore,
the subject of the work, Heinrich Steffens, came
in contact with many of the great literary and his-
torical celebrities of the age, and his personal rem-
iniscences of these persons are highly interesting.

nected history of the German Emperors from the
earliest times to the present day, with brief men-
tion of their contemporaries, and the important
events of their reigns. The volume is especially
valuable as presenting in a compact form the his-
tory of many centuries, and will be found alike in-

may not have the time to peruse the many elab-
orate works of which the volume under considera-
tion is a digest.

THE GREEK ANTHOLOGY.
By LORD NEAVES. Completing, in 20 vol-

Ancient Classics for
I2mo. Cloth. ŠI.O.O.
“Lord Neaves's volume on Greek Anthology,
which forms the last of the series of “Ancient
Classics for English Readers,' is pleasant reading,
and gives a good idea of a branch of Greek litera-
ture of which many even who aspire to the title of
scholars know but little. To the general reader
the work can hardly fail to prove attractive. One
thing that the book makes plain, is the incompe-
tence of the English versifiers who have laid hands
on the Anthology."—London Athenæum.

THE Rook MARKET.
NEW YORK, December 1, 1874.
Our publishers have been very busy prepar-
ing for the holiday trade, which has been very
fair to date, and promises to hold good for the
month to come. One feature of the trade this
season is its unusual lateness. Another is
that high-priced books are in little demand,
dealers generally selecting books of a standard
character, or those which are generally held
to be useful as well as pretty. The publishers,
with their usual acuteness, have fully recog-
nized both features, and while their issues are
later than in former years, they include very
few of the books which are regarded as lux-
uries. It seems to be generally understood
that the days of extravagance are over, in
books as in everything else; hence, retail prices
of new issues are put at the lowest possible
figures, and books are cheaper than they have
been for many years.
D. Appleton & Co. have lately added to their
International Scientific Series a valuable
treatise on Terrestrial and Aërial Locomotion,
Animal Mechanism, by Professor E. J. Marey,
of the College of France. The book is profuse-
ly illustrated and one of the most interesting
in the series, which now numbers eleven Vol-
umes. Mr. Goodrich's Life of Columbus, of
which so much has been said, is a volume of
some four hundred pages. The character of
the book can be briefly indicated by the au-
thor's statement of its object, to “Sink the so-
called Christopher Columbus to his just level
in the estimation of posterity, and to raise to
theirs those of his contemporaries whose fame
was sacrificed to create the fictitious glory
with which he has been endowed,” and “to
enter a protest against the spirit of the age,
which would incorporate in modern times all
the greatness of past ages, and arrogates to
itself the honor of inventions and discoveries
in arts and sciences which had been carried to
as great perfection as human intelligence will
permit before the so-called history of the
world began.” Whatever may be thought
the value of the author’s arguments and th
justice of his criticisms, they are very ing
njous. The work is evidently the result
much study, and contains much informatic
and food for thought. Rev. Dr. Henry Cowles
Elebrew History, from the death of Moses to th
close of the Scripture narrative, is well calc
lated to serve the purpose intended by its a
thor, to stimulate and aid the reading of scri
tural history, by setting forth the beauty
its narratives and the interest and importan
of its events.
For the holidays, D. Appleton & Co. offer,
a unique and sumptuous volume, a profuse
illustrated History of the Military and H
ligious Life in the Middle Ages, by Paul L
croix. It is a companion volume to Manne,
Customs, and Dress during the Middle Age
and The Arts of the Middle Ages. There is
vast fund of information of historical intere
in the book, and it is adorned with fourtee
beautiful chromo-lithographic prints by Ke
lerhoven, Régamey, and Allard, and mo
than four hundred woodcuts. These pu
lishers have also issued two pretty illustrate
books for children, The Happy Howr, ar
Whispers from Fairy Land. The former is
beautifully printed and richly bound quar
volume of tales, sketches, and poetry, wit
nearly two hundred engravings. The oth
is a volume of fairy tales from the pen of th
Right Hon. E. H. Knatchbull-Hugessen. The
are delightful reading for children, differir
somewhat from the ordinary fairy story, in b
ing nearer to every-day life. The book is ve.
prettily illustrated. -
Dr. John W. Draper's History of the Confli
between Religion and Science, which will
shortly published by the Appletons, is rather
study of the controversy than a mere histor
explaining its character and tracing its issue
A complete account of the contest has nev
before been written, and no one is better fitt
for the task than Mr. Draper. Mr. J.
Hittell's History of Culture, is also announc
for this month; also Part Three of Herbe
4. I4.
THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS GUIDE.
Spencer’s Descriptive Sociology, and the first part
of Spencer's Principles of Sociology, in a pamph-
Het of about eighty pages; the other parts
will be issued quarterly in the same shape.
The exhaustive work on the Western Section
of North America, by Mr. Bancroft, the well-
known San Francisco publisher, will comprise
five volumes, the first of which will be pub-
lished by Appleton & Co., early in the coming
year. The author has devoted years to the
selection of materials for the work, and has
accumulated a large library of books in many
languages, bearing upon the subject, and notes
of reference to these volumes are to be given
in the body of the work. The first volume
will contain an account of the wild tribes,
their manners and customs; the second is de-
voted to the civilized nations of Mexico and
Central America; the third to the mythology
and languages of both savage and civilized
nations; the fourth to antiquities and archi-
tectural remains; the fifth to aboriginal his-
tory and migrations.
Harper & Brothers published early in the
month. The Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius,
a book for schools and colleges, edited by Dr.
F. A. March, with an introduction by Profes-
sor Ballard, of Lafayette College, and notes by
Professor W. B. Owen ; a volume on Duvid,
King of Israel, by Rev. Dr. William M. Taylor,
of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York;
Farjeon's King of No-Land ; a paper novel
from George Manville Fenn, entitled The
Treasure-Hunters ; and one by Miss Dora Hav-
ers, with the title Jack's Sister ; or, True to Her
Trust. In Dr. Taylor's book on King David,
the author has added fresh interest to the bib-
lical narrative of his life and to the songs of
the sweet singer of Israel. It is well written
and affords pleasant and suggestive reading.
The latest novels from these publishers are
Aileen Ferrers, by Susan Morley, a very clever
and artistic story, simply and gracefully told ;
and The Love that Lived, by Mrs. Eiloart, one
of the most popular of English novelists.
Mr. Charles Nordhoff's Politics for Young
Americans, just issued, is a work that has
long been needed, and one that can be read
with great benefit, not only by Young America,
but by many older people as well, as it con-
tains much that all American citizens should
know, but that very few do know. It is a
treatise in simple and lucid language, on the
elementary principles of government, free
from partizanship and abstract discussion, and
admirably suited to the wants of young read-
ers. Gail Hamilton's Nursery Noomings is a
collection of racy papers on “The Baby in
Breeches,” “Bringing up Parents,” “The
Wards of the Nation,” “Disciplining Chil-
dren,” etc. It is written in this author's
peculiar style, tells some plain truth, and is
full of pleasant surprises. Early in the
month we are promised Mr. Nordhoff's work
on The Communistic Societies of the United
States—the result of his personal observations,
taken, as the illustrated papers say, on the
spot. The book will be illustrated, and prom-
ises to be very interesting.
Of books specially adapted to the season,
the Harpers have issued Wolf's Wild Animals,
a quarto volume of twenty magnificent plates
of wild animals, from designs by Joseph Wolf,
engraved by J. W. and Elward Whymper, and
descriptive letterpress by Daniel Giraud El-
liot. Mr. Wolf's drawings are among the
very best of the kind in existence, and the en-
graver's art has reproduced them with won-
derful fidelity. The Little Lame Prince, by
Miss Mulock, just issued, is a charmiug little
fairy tale for children, embellished with pretty
illustrations and tastefully bound.
Henry Holt & Co. have recently published
a number of valuable books. Among the lat-
est are Democracy and Monarchy in France, by
Charles Kendall Adams, a thorough and com-
prehensive political history of France, from
the inception of the great revolution, to the
overthrow of the second empire; A Winter in
Bussia, translated from the French of Theo-
phile Gautier, full of vivid pictures of Russian
life that are not to be found in any other book
of travel in Russia ; Thomas Hardy's Far From
The Madding Chowd; and John Stuart Mill's
Posthumous Essays on Religion. Hardy’s
novel is the one, it will be remembered, that
was attributed to George Eliot. It has re-
ceived the highest praise from those who have
read it, as one of the most remarkable of re-
cent works of fiction. Mill's Essays on Relig-
ion are three in number—on Nature, the Util-
ity of Religion, and Theism ; and the publish-
ers, “acting upon the hope of making their
uniform edition of Mr. Mill's writings ulti-
mately include them all,” have inserted his
Essay on Berkeley's Life and Writings, which
appeared in the Westminster Review, but has
not before been reprinted. Different opinions
will exist in regard to these essays, and they
will be sharply criticised by those whose re-
ligious beliefs differ from those of the author;
but they are written with a clearness and
strength which will command attontion. A
careful perusal of them will probably con-
vince the critics that, like Tyndall, he has
been by many misunderstood, and his relig-
ious unbelief greatly exaggerated.
Henry Holt & Co. offer for the holiday trade
a new edition of Taine's Pyrenees, with Doré's
illustrations, and have nearly ready the dainty
volume of Vers de Société, compiled by Mr. C.
H. Jones. The contents have been selected with
great taste, and the resources of the artist,
printer, and binder have been freely drawn
upon to make it one of the most elegant
specimens of book - making ever produced.
The paper is tinted, and a darker tint is print-
ed upon the body of the page, which is red-
lined, to receive the letter-press. The illustra-
tions, which are exceedingly quaint and artis-
tic, are drawn by John A. Mitchell and en-
graved by Henry Marsh. - -
G. P. Putnam's Sons have published a revised
edition of the late Mr. Frederick Bastiat's
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
415
essays on political economy, under the title of
Sophisms of Protection, which are ably, written
and should be read by all who take an inter-
est in the question of protection; and Rev.
Dr. Thomas Hill’s essay on Geometry and
Paith. ‘ On the holiday list of this house are
Bryant’s Among the Trees, one of the prettiest
gift-books ever published; Mrs. Jane G. Aus-
tin’s Moonfolk, most charmingly written, and
illustrated by the beautiful engravings of
Linton ; and a new illustrated edition of Mrs.
Hawthorne's Wotes on England and Italy.
This is one of the sprightliest volumes of the
kind we have ever read, full of charming inci-
dent and reminiscence, and lively descriptions
which invest old scenes with a new interest.
The illustrations are very fine and the bind-
ing rich. Among the volumes announced for
early issue are Chomet's Music : Its Influence
on Health and Disease ; and a work on Winter
Homes for Invalids, by Dr. Jos. W. Howe.
The Messrs. Putnam have been planning for
some time a series of biographical works, to
be edited by Colonel T. W. Higginson, and
designed to give information in regard to the
political status of various countries. The
first volumes, which will be published early
in the new year, will include sketches of Dis-
raeli, Gladstone, Bright, and other prominent
statesmen of England.
The list of new books from Scribner, Arm-
strong & Co. is an important one. Early in
the month they issued Life and Literature in
the Fatherland, by Rev. Dr. John F. Hurst;
Frank R. Stockton’s Roundabout Rambles ;
The Paraclete ; and Professor W. D. Whitney’s
second series of Oriental and Linguistic Studies. :
Of the latest issues are a new volume of Mr.
Stoddard’s Bric-à-Brac Series, and Lange's Com-
memtary on Job. Among all the many books
which have been recently published on Ger-
many, Dr. Hurst's volume will take a place as
one of the very best, which the student of
German life in any of its phases should not
fail to read. Dr. Hurst, who will be remem-
bered as the author of the able. History of
Rationalism, has recently spent nuuch time in
Germany, and his work is the result of careful
observation. The school system, with its kin-
dergarten, is thoroughly described and ana-
lyzed, also the great universities, with much
interesting gossip concerning their noted pro-
fessors. German authors and the secrets of
book-making come in for a large share of at-
tention, and vivid sketches are given of the
home-life, customs, and peculiarities of the
people. The Paraclete is an essay on the per-
sonality and workings of the Holy Ghost. It
is bold and frequently startling in its logic,
but is ably written, evidently by a master-
hand. It is published anonymously, and much
discussion has arisen as to its authorship. In
this second series of Professor Whitney’s Ori-
ental and Linguistic Studies are three papers
on the relation of the East and the West, two
on the science of Religion, five on the English
Language, its Orthography, phonetics, and
general phraseology, and an exhaustive dis-
cussion of the Astronomy of the Ancients,
which is illustrated by a chart.
For Christmas, the Scribners have prepared
a new and cheaper edition of Stanley's How I
found Livingstone, enlarged by the addition of
a chapter giving a biographical sketch of the
great explorer and describing his journeyings
from the time Mr. Stanley left him until his
death ; Rhymes and Jingles, by Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge, a very pretty little quarto with
one hundred and fifty illustrations; and a
magnificent work of travel entitled Across
South America, by Paul Marcoy. The author
journeyed from the Pacific across the Andes,
to the navigable waters of the Amazon, and
thence by rafts and boats to the Atlantic.
He possesses not only the requisites for the
traveler, but those which enable him to write
an account of his travels in most entertaining
style; and what particularly recommends him
to his readers and adds an additional interest
to his account, is the fact that he makes his
own sketches. There are in these two Sump-
tuous volumes upwards of five hundred il-
lustrations, engraved from Mr. Marcoy’s
drawings, by Riou. The publishers will have
ready in a few days, in a royal octavo, X. B.
Saintine’s Myths of the Rhône, translated from
the French by Professor Schele de Vere,
with one hundred and fifty illustrations by
Gustave Doré.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have published two
good novels—Through Thick and Thim, and
A Terrible Secret. The former is in the series
of translations from the French which is
being published by this house, written by
Joseph Méry and translated by O. Vibeur. It
is full of French vivacity, is crowded with
exciting incident, and will be enjoyed by the
average novel-reader. The other novel is by
Mrs. May Agnes Fleming, has run through
one of our most popular weeklies, and has
been highly praised. Carleton announces as
nearly ready a new story from Marion Har-
land, with the title From My Youth. Up , and
Progressive Petticoats, by Robert B. Roosevelt, a
humorous hit at the various “isms” of the day
that are championed by women. The general
reader will find it immensely enjoyable, and
even the reformers cannot fail to appreciate
the funny side of their theories. A Christmas
gift-book is also announced, to bear the title
of The Birth and Triumph of Love, to contain.
twenty-four antique illustrations after the
engravings of Bartolozzi.
Robert Carter & Brothers have issued Dr.
A. P. Peabody’s lectures on Christianity and
Science, which were recently delivered at the
Union. Theological Seminary of this city. The
author holds that there is no antagonism be-
tween science and the Christian religion.
The papers are clear and earnest and vigor-
ous, and should be widely read. The other
late issues from this house are Rev. Howard
Crosby’s Evpository Notes on the Book of Joshua,
written, the author says, to put in Succinct

form such explanations of the text as may
help the reader to its clearer understanding,
without annoying him with the details of
criticism; Clefts in the Rock, a volume setting
forth the believer's grounds of confidence in
Christ; and a prettily printed and illustrated
story for children, entitled The Flag of Truce,
by the author of The Wide, Wide World.
i The National Temperance Society have
lately issued two neat story-books—The Life-
Cruise of Captain Bess Adams, by Mrs. J.
McNair Wright, whose temperance tales are
much appreciated ; and a little volume con-
taining the addresses delivered in this city,
by invitation, by Dr. James Edmunds, a dis-
tinguished English physician. The subjects
of the addresses, three in number, are “The
Medical Use of Alcohol,” “ Stimulants for
Women,” and “The Dietetic Use of Alcohol.”
They were much commented on at the time
of their delivery, and are well worth a
thoughtful re-reading in their present shape.
W. J. Widdleton has published Mr. R. H.
Stoddard’s edition of the poems of Edgar
Allan Poe, with an original memoir, in which
he denies much that is contained in Gris-
wold's memoir, and includes some new facts.
He says the life of Poe “ has been related
many times, but always incorrectly.” The
memoir is based upon the author’s paper in
Harper's Migazine for September, 1872, and
though it is frank as to the poet’s eccentri-
cities and faults, it places his character in a
very different light from that thrown upon it
by the biographies which have been generally
accepted as truthful. This edition of the
poems is the first complete one ever made,
containing all that Poe published in verse.
BOSTON, Dec. 1, 1874.
If the visitor to Boston just now should by
any means have forgotten the season, it would
need but a glance at the display in the win-
dows and on the counters of our book-stores,
and the hum of activity which would greet
Rim in most of them, to convince him that
the holidays are approaching. And if, being
acquainted with the business in former times,
he should have spent the last few years in
the moon, or in some other place sufficiently
remote to be out of hearing of the panic, and
should be suddenly transported to our book
emporiums, he would hardly believe from the
evidence before him that this is an “off
year” for books, and that the trade is dull.
The fact is that the business is in much bet-
ter condition than many other branches of
trade; and although up to this date it may
have fallen behind the prosperous years of
the past, Christmas promises to bring the
usual demand for books. That demand will
not be for extravagant volumes, and the pub-
lishers have been wise in anticipating this
fact, and have provided a greater proportion
of books which are to be commended for their
utility as well as their beauty. Fancy prices
which prevailed during the busy Christmas
seasons of the war have been discarded al-
together, and the fine volumes which are
made expressly for the holiday trade are
offered at exceedingly low prices. Indeed,
there has been a marked tendency for a year
past to reduce the retail prices of all books,
and many volumes are now put at a dollar
and a half, which five years ago would not
have been offered for less than two dollars.
The house of J. R. Osgood & Co. is noted for
its fine editions of the poets, which are sure to
be in large demand at this season. They
have recently added to the list a new volume
from J. T. Trowbridge, containing The Emi-
grant's Story and other Poems, and one from
Bret Harte, bearing the title Echoes of the
Foot-Hills. Both authors are too well known
to the American public to require any de-
scription of their work. The homely narra-
tives in verse of Trowbridge, in which pa-
thos and humor are so strangely mingled, are
widely popular, and the selections in this vol-
unne are already familiar to hundreds of
readers who will no less gladly welcome them
in the pretty form which Osgood & Co. have
given them. The poem named in the title
is the longest as well as the most recent.
It is a vivid description of the journey of an
emigrant family to the far west. “At my
Enemy’s Gate ’’ is also recently written, and
many will think it the best in the volume.
Among the other selections are “Farmer
John,” “ Dorothy in the Garret,” “Old Simon
Dale,” and “The Song of the Flail.” Bret
Harte's volume, just ready, comprises his
poems of the past two years. Osgood & Co.
have also issued a new library edition of
Tennyson in two volumes, printed from new
plates with the latest revisions of the author,
and some poems that have not been included
in any previous edition ; a new edition of
Mrs. Horace Mann’s Fāower People, with seven
pretty illustrations by Mrs. G. P. Lathrop;
a small quarto volume of Childhood Songs, by
Lucy Larcom ; and Chemical and Geological
Essays, by T. Sterry Hunt. The Childhood
Songs are, as the author says, the blossoms
that grew in her working field, and include
many that are familiar to the readers of
Our Young Folks, and others that are new.
The illustrations are very attractive. Pro-
fessor Hunt's volume of essays is a valuable
addition to science, containing not only much
that is known, and is here made impressive
and interesting to the general student, but
much that is new either in fact or suggestion.
This house have just ready for issue Kate
Field's Ten Days in Spain, to be included
in the “Saunterer's Series ; ” Howell’s Ifore-
gome Conclusion ; and Broken Chains, by E.
Werner. We should not forget among the
new books the charming “little Classics.”
The fourth volume under the title of Life,
contains “Rab and his Friends,” by John
Brown: “A Romancé of Real Life,” by W.
D. Howells; “The Luck of Roaring Camp,” .

by Bret Harte; “Jerry Jarvis's Wig,” by R.
Harris Barham ; “Beauty and the Beast,” by
N. P. Willis; “David Swan,” by N. Haw-
thorne; “Dreamthorp,” by Alexander Smith;
“A Bachelor's Reverie,” by Donald G. Mitch-
ell; “The Grammar of Life,” by B. F. Tay-
lor; “My Chateaux,” by G.W. Curtis; “Dream
Children,” by Charles Lamb; “The Man in
the Reservoir,” by C. Fenno Hoffman; “West-
minster Abbey,” by Addison; “The Puri-
tans,” by Macaulay, and “Gettysburg,” by
Abraham Lincoln. The next volume, to be
issued this month, will be somewhat different
in character from the previous issues—suffi-
ciently indicated by its general title, Laughter.
For the holidays, Osgood & Co. have issued
besides the above, Longfellow’s new poem,
The Hanging of the Crane, exquisitely illus-
trated with drawings by Miss Hallock and
Thomas Moran, engraved by Linton and An-
thony. It has been out some weeks, and
promises to be the most popular gift-book of
the season. It is a beautiful poem, and both
designers and engravers have well improved
the abundant opportunities which it affords for
illustration. A holiday edition of Dr. On and
other Stories will be ready this week. A little
later we shall have a folio volume of illus-
trations, forty-five in number, of On the Nile,
by Augustus Hoppin, uniform with Ups and
Lowms ; and three quarto volumes of helio-
type reproductions from the old masters.
The first will be twenty-four of Toschi’s En-
gravings of Frescoes after Parmegiano and Cor-
reggio, reproduced from the Gray Collection
in Harvard. There are four of the frescos of
Parmegiano in the Church of San Giovanni,two
wall pictures of Correggio, Virgin and Child,
originally painted on the wall of a friend's
house, and Diana in a chariot, painted in a con-
vent at Parma; seven groups of children called
“The Lunettes of the Arbor,” and eleven of
Correggio's frescoes in the Church San Gio-
vanni Evangelista. The second volume is a
series of studies designed and engraved after
Raphael, reproduced from the Tosti Collec-
tion of the Boston Public Library. The other
collection embraces twenty-one Illustrations of
the Book of Job, “invented and engraved by
William Blake in 1825.” The text of the lat-
ter volume will consist of a biography of the
eccentric artist, and explanatory notes by
Charles Elliott Norton, of Cambridge. It is
difficult to convey an idea of the quaintness
of these illustrations, or indeed of the merits
of all these reproductions. The process by
which it has been possible to place them
within reach of the people is one of recent
development, and the people will not be slow
to appreciate its advantages.
The other books coming from Osgood's be-
fore Christmas are Verne's The Adventures
of Captain. Hatteras, with over 250 illustra-
tions by Riou; a volume of Parlor Plays,
Pantomimes and Tableaux, by George B.
Bartlett; William Henry, dramatized by Mrs.
Geo. L. Charley; the poem of The Circassian
Boy, by the Russian poet Michael Lermontoff,
translated through the German by Mr. S. S.
Conant; and Parnassus, a volume of poetry,
by Ralph Waldo Emerson, to be brought
out in the style of the Amesbury Whittier.
Lee & Shepard have just issued their cata-
logue of fall and winter books, which in-
cludes some good novels and a goodly num-
ber of juveniles and illustrated holiday books.
The new volumes of the latter class have
been held back, but they are now in the hands
of the binder and will be ready within a week.
Of the books issued in November, the most
Inotable are Jennie June's book on marriage;
Mr. H. H. Riley's humorous Puddleford Pa-
pers ; The Child of the Tide, by Mrs. E. D.
Cheney; and Our Helen, by Sophie May. Mrs.
Croly’s (Jennie June) book, entitled For Bet-
ter or Worse, is bright and pungent, and
abounds in sensible argument and practical
suggestion. It treats of courtship and mar-
riage, points out the duties of husband, wife,
and parents, and dwells earnestly on the mis-
takes of the marriage relation and the results
involved. The Pudaleford Papers, though.
founded on a previous edition, is really made
a new book by the many additions and the
excellent illustrations. There are some ex-
cellent pictures of pioneer life, and though
bright with humor, it is pervaded by a vein .
of seriousness. Readers of wholesome Amer-
ican fiction, who remember Sophie May's story
of The Doctor's Daughter, will like the author's
last book, Our Helen. Like the former story,
the scenes are laid mostly in New England,
and contains pleasant pictures of rural life.
Mrs. Cheney's book is for younger readers.
The story is founded on actual events, and,
like all of the author's works, is full of interest
and can be safely put into the hands of chil-
dren. /
Lee & Shepard have just ready a new book
of a devotional character, by Rev. Dr. J. M.
Manning, entitled Helps to a Life of Prayer,
“intended for service in the living world; ”
The Dorcas Club ; or, Our Girls Afloat, a hand-
somely illustrated volume by Oliver Optic ;
and The Evhöbition. Drama, the fifth volume of
Mr. Baker’s Amateur Drama Series. This
series of books have been received with
marked favor, as they supply a very general
want for short plays, for the family and .
school. Early this month we shall have The
. Reading Club and Handy Speaker, No. 2, edited
by Mr. Baker, and containing selections for
readings in prose and verse ; and Rev. P. C.
Headley's The Island of Fire; or, a Thousand
Years of the Old North men's Home, an illustra-
ted volume on Iceland, containing a history of
the island, an account of the manners and
customs of the people, their language, litera-
ture and mythology, selections from their
eddas and sagas, etc., a volume full of interest
and of valuable information. After the holi-
days will be issued a novel from Mrs. Kathe-
rine Sedgwick Washburn, with the title Per-
fect Love Casteth Out Fear ; Mr. Higginson's.

THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS Guide.
Young Folks' History of the United States; a
Beries of essays on Nature and Culture, by
Harvey Rice; Nasby's humorous book, The
Morals of Abou Ben Adhem ; a volume of ser-
mons on eternal punishment, by the author of
Arena and the Throne ; and a book from Rob-
ert Collyer, under the title of The Simple
Th'uth.
Of illustrated gift-books this house have
just ready an entirely new and enlarged edi-
tion of Mrs. Eliza Lee Follen's Little Songs,
Splendidly illustrated. No collection of chil-
dren’s rhymes, if we except Mother Goose,
has ever been so popular, and in its new form
it makes a most acceptable little Christmas
book. Early in the month they will issue
Ballads of Beavity, a small quarto volume of
Selections from the poets, illustrated by forty
full-page engravings, and edited with excei-
lent taste by Mr. George M. Baker; and a more
pretentious quarto of One Hundred Gems from
the London Art Journal, printed from the orig-
inal plates. If anything more than the origin
of these illustrations is needed in praise of the
Volume, it is found in the care with which the
engravings are printed on the fine, heavy
paper, and the pretty binding which the pub-
lishers have given it. -
Roberts Brothers are about to issue an im-
portant work on English Grammar, by Pro-
fessor Maetzner, of Berlin, the author of a
large number of works on language, an hon-
orary member of the Philological Society of
London, and at present at the head of an in-
stitution for the higher education of girls.
The work is comprised in three octavo volumes
of five hundred pages each, and is probably
the most important work "on English Gram-
Inar ever written. It was written in German
and is translated by Clair J. Grece, who in a
preface of some length, pays a high compli-
ment to the philological acquirements of the
German scholars, and explains why they are
better fitted to write of the English language
than those who have always used it. He says,
“the instruments of thought which had been
invented and perfected in subjecting the class-
ical tongues stood ready to be applied to the
English.” While Englishmen have been con-
tent to neglect the usage of their own tongue,
... so far as its more delicate grammatical fea-
tures are concerned, “the nation in which
erudition and scientific philology are, as it .
were, indigenous, having already subjected
the classical tongues to an exhaustive treat-
ment as well lexicographically as gramma-
tically, has undertaken the scientific treatment
of the grammar of the English tongue. That
it should have been approached by Germans
from a purely scientific point of view, from
which natives have not hitherto regarded it,
will not surprise us when we consider the
relations of German to the classical tongues
of antiquity and to our own vernacular.” The
work is able, thorough, and comprehensive.
The other books just issued by Roberts Broth-
ers are Dress Réform, containing the lectures
on the subjects lately delivered in Boston,
edited with an introduction by Mrs. Abba
Goold Woolson, who also contributes a paper;
“The Fletcher Prize Essay,” The Christian in
the World, by Rev. D. W. Faunce; and the
Vº works of William Blake, edited by
'illiam Michael Rossetti. Before Christmas
they will publish a Life of Ezra Styles Gan-
nett, written by his son, W. C. Gannett;
Annus Domini, a prayer for each day in
the year, founded on a scriptural text, by
Christina G. Rossetti; and Songs and Singers
of the Liberal Faith, by Rev. A. P. Putnam, to
consist of selections from the poetical works
of Christian ministers, with sketches of their
lives. This house has made arrangements
to issue here Mary Cowden Clarke's A Ramb-
lºng Story, now being published in the Gen-
tleman’s Magazine, London.
Of children’s books, Roberts Brothers have
issued Mischief's Thanksgiving, and other Sto-
Ties, by Susan Coolidge, and More Bed-Time
Stories, by Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton,
both illustrated by Addie Ledyard. Early in
the month, the publishers will have ready
a Christmas story by Christina Rossetti, en-
titled Speaking Likenesses, with illustrations
by Arthur Hughes; a temperance story by
E. E. Hale, bearing the title of Our Wew Chºu-
Sade, Children’s Stories, eleven in number,
written by as many students of Harvard;
and a capital story for boys, by Rev. George
L. Chaney, of Boston, entitled F. Grant dº Co.;
or, Partnerships. It is a story of boy-life in
New England, showing the successes and
mishaps of youthful business ventures.
The first new volume from William F.
Gill & Co. which claims our attention, is
Lotos Leaves; to be issued this week, a heavy
quarto—prepared, both text and illustrations,
by the members of the Lotos Club. There
are nineteen illustrations, besides the title
designs, thirty-one in number. They were
all drawn especially for this volume, and
in design and execution are rare specimens of
art. The literary contributions are equally
entitled to praise. Each possesses a special
excellence, and would give character to any
collection. It is sufficient to mention White-
Jaw Reid’s “Southern Reminiscences,” John
Brougham’s “The Hymn of Princes,” Mark
Twain’s “Encounter with an Interviewer,”
and John Elderkin’s paper on “The Theatre.”
Among the other prominent col.tributors are
Wilkie Collins, John Hay, Edmund Yates,
Noah Brooks, and Israel H. Bromley. Among
the artists are Arthur Lumley, Alfred Fred-
ericks, Gilbert Burling, and John Lafarge.
Home Recreations, an illustrated edition of
which has just been issued, contains a num-
ber of tableaux and a list of the plays best
adapted to the wants of amateur represen-
tation. There are but few who are better
qualified to make such selections than Mr.
Gill, and the list, with the information ap-
pended to each title, will prove very service-
able. There are more than one hundred tab-

leaux, the best of which are illustrated, and
all of which have stood the test of actual
performances. Early in November was issued
Mr. Charles Bradlaugh’s Impeachment of the
Blouse of Brunswick. Though it has run through
five editions in England, this is the first time it
has been issued here, and for this edition the
author has written a special preface. With
all the vigorous abuse of the reigning house
of England, it contains much real informa-
tion. The Babes ºn the Wood, by James De
Mille, is an extended burlesque full of humor,
and with just enough of a story to string to-
gether the ludicrous situations. It was evi-
dently written only to amuse, and it fulfills
its intent from beginuing to end. The illus-
trations are excellent. Wilkie Collins's Alicia
|Warlock, mentioned in my last, will not be
published until after the holidays, when it
will be issued with another story from the
same author. -
Estes & Lauriat have prepared for the holi-
days new editions, in new and neat cloth
bindings, of Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family
JRobinson, and The Pilgrim’s Progress ; also
new editions of the excellent little book, The
Words and Mind of Jesus ; and the selections
in verse known as Chimes for Childhood. They
have also issued in one volume the first
twelve numbers of the Half-Hour Recreations
in Popular Science, and have nearly ready a
book which will suit the scandal-mongers, if it
is what is suggested by the title, One Hundred
Ministers ; or, How They Switched Off. During
the month they will issue new editions of
Mrs. Riddell’s Too Much Alone, and J. S.
Le Fanu's Checkmate, both of which have
been long out of print; and What Young Peo-
ple Should Know, an essay on the anatomy,
physiology, and hygiene of the human repro-
ductive organs, by Professor Burt G. Wilder,
of Cornell University. The next volume in
the Epochs of History Series will be The
Plouses of Lancaster and York, by James Gaird-
Ile I’.
Noyes, Holmes & Co. have published Ser-
moms and Songs of Christian Life, by Dr. Ed-
mund H. Sears, consisting of a number of vig-
orous sermons, written, the author says, “not
for the press, but for the pulpit,” but none
the less readable, interspersed with devo-
tional hymns, some of which readers will
find familiar, and others appear to be new,
The house have just ready a new red-line edi-
tion of Thoughts to Help and to Cheer, a collec-
tion of devotional texts and poetry, which has
been out of print for some years. It is hand-
somely printed, and is to be issued in a variety
of bindings, from plain cloth to full morocco.
Colby & Rich have recently published The
Gadarene ; or, Spirits in Prison, by J. O. Bar-
rett and J. M. Peebles, treating of a little of
everything relating to the doctrines of spirit-
ualism, such as moral good and evil, demons
gad gods, mundane and celestial spheres, ob-
sessions ancient and modern, witchcraft, psy-
chology, etc.; also a volume of poems entitled
Home, by Jesse H. Butler, of San Francisco ;
and a little Child’s Guide to Spiritualism, by
Mrs. Lucy M. Burgess, consisting of questions
and answers. Colby & Rich will soon issue
in book form Epes Sargent's papers, which
have been published serially in the Banner of
Light, under the title of Proof Palpable of the
Immortality of the Soul, to be illustrated with
a picture of Katie King, taken in London :
and a volume of Travels Round the World, by
J. M. Peebles.
PHILADELPHIA, December 1, 1874.
The holiday trade has fairly set in, and our
jobbers are doing a fair trade in miscellane-
ous books. The school-book trade, which has
been excellent, is falling off, and medical and
law books—to use a market phrase—are flat.
Our publishers are preparing but very few
new books, but there is no lack of gift-
books on their lists which are suitable for the
Christmas trade, and they are sure to be in
demand.
Of the finely illustrated volumes may be
mentioned the new edition of Alliboné's D, c-
tionary of Quotations, elegantly illustrated and
bound, just issued by J. B. Lippincott & Co.;
and, by the same publishers, under the title
of Many Lands and Many Poaces, a series of
sketches of travel, reprinted from Lippincott's
Magazine. These papers have formed a most
interesting portion of the magazine, and in
this neat octavo volume, embellished with
nearly 150 engravings, are very acceptable.
Edward Strahan’s The New Hyperion, which
has been running in the magazine, will
be issued immediately in a handsome
octavo, illustrated with sketches from Doré
and others. Of standard books, the Lippin-
cotts have issued the third volume of Charles
Francis Adams's Memoirs of John Quincy
Adams, a work of historical importance to the
student that can bardly be overestimated ;
and the third volume, which finishes the
work, of Mr. Kirk’s new edition of Prescott's
Philip II. This volume begins with the re-
conquest of Spain in 1562, and takes the nar-
rative down to the death of Anne in 1580.
The volume covers the most important events
in King Philip's reign. It is embellished
with portraits of Don John and Anne of Aus-
tria.
The first volume of Dr. William Robert-
son’s edition of Prescott's Charles V. will be
ready this month. The other books just issued
from this house are Outlines of the Science and
Practice of Medicine, by Professor William
Aitken, of Edinburgh, a work that will be
highly appreciated by the profession; Science
of Sensibility, by John Nelson. Smith, in which
the author treats of intelligence as the simple
element of soul, the spirit of life, the natu-
ral cause of the constancy of each species to
its type, etc.; and The Drift of Medical Phil-
osophy, a revised essay, first read two years
ago by Dr. D. A. Gorton, of Brooklyn, in which
sº

he treats very honestly and forcibly of the
bearing of disease on society, and man’s
status in the world. Virginia F. Townsend’s
new novel, One Woman’s Two Lovers, will be
issued in a few days; also The Voice in Speak-
ing, by Emma Seiler, translated by W. H.
Furners. The writer will be remembered as
the author of The Voice in Singing, and these
two are probably the most elaborate works
on the human voice ever written. A book of
short stories is announced under the title of
The Golden Fence, and Other Tales ; and Pa-
tricia Kemball, a novel by E. Lynn Linton, the
author of Joshua Davudson and some other
good works of fiction. Lippincott & Co. an-
nounce that they will reissue here the edition
of Thackeray's "works in twenty-two octavo
volumes, as published in England by Smith,
Elder & Co. They will be issued monthly in
the same order as originally published.
Porter & Coates have recently brought out
in handsome style The Most Emiment Orators
and Statesmen of Ancient and Modern Times,
which will be a new book to many. It con-
tains historical and critical sketches of the
most famous of the world’s orators, with se-
lections from their best efforts. The ancients
are represented by Demosthenes and Cicero;
the English, by Chatham, Burke, Grattan,
Fox, Erskine, Curran, Sheridan, Pitt, Can-
ning and Brougham ; and Americans, by
Henry, Ames, Clay, Calhoun, Webster and
Everett. The volume is a large octavo, in
fine binding, and is illustrated by portraits
of Webster, Clay, Pitt, and others. The
Encyclopædia of Rural Sports, by “Stone-
henge,” is another old book, which has passed
through eight editions in England, and has
been very popular there, but this is the
first American edition. New illustrations
have been added, and much new matter, in-
cluding a chapter on the American Trotting
Horse, one on Base-Ball, the rules of the Har-
ward Foot-Ball Club, and copious extracts
from the Game Laws of this country and
Canada. Malcolm Maceuen’s volume of es-
says and sketches, mostly adapted from Sainte-
Beuve, was issued early in November, under
the title of Celebrities of the Past and Present.
It is a delightful book, including among its
contents sketches of Cardinal Richelieu,
Cardinal Mazarin, Cardinal De Retz, Father
Lacordaire, Montesquieu and Lord Chester.
field; also André Chénier's charming poem,
La Jewne Captive, in the original French,
with the English translation. South Mead-
ow8, a story of the days of witchcraft in New
England, by Mrs. Disosway, was also issued
early in the month. It has a double interest,
being a good story, and most of the facts, the
author says in her preface, are historical, as
are the expressions attributed to Cotton
Mather. It is a vivid picture of the delusion
which entered into the life of the Puritan
colonists. -
For the holidays, Porter & Coates have re-
issued The Cotten's Saturday Aight, which is
now a standard Christmas gift-book ; and The
Stately Homes of England, with its 210 elegant
wood engravings. Lady Green. Satin is also
reissued at a reduced price. Some of the best
books in their list have been put into “libra-
ries,” prominent among which is the Library
of Home and Foreign Authors, containing
Longfellow's The Poets and Poetry of Europe,
Hedge's The Prose. Writers of Germany, and
Griswold's The Prose. Writers of America.
The Count de Paris’s work on our late war
is being translated. It is not yet finished
by the author, but he is busily engaged on
the last volume. The first two volumes have
been published in Paris. The elaborate maps
and plans in the accompanying atlas contrib-
ute to make it a most valuable work. Porter
& Coates have made arrangements with the
English publishers to bring out here Augus-
tus Hare's Days Neath Itome, to be illustrated
with upwards of 150 cuts, mostly by the
author. It will be published here early in
the coming year.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have issued the
first volume of a new and well-made library
edition of the works of our most popular Amer-
ican novelist, Mrs. Southworth. The novel
selected to head the list is Miriam, the Avenger,
and is one of her best. It is embellished with
the portrait and autograph of the author and
a cut of her residence. The Petersons have
also published two more of Mrs. Wood’s
shorter novels, The Smuggler's Ghost and The
Mystery, the Jatter recently printed, from the
author's manuscript. Their new, cheap edi-
tion of Sir Walter Scott's novels, of which
Ivanhoe is already issued, is to be in new cov-
ers, with portrait. They are also issuing a
new, cheap edition of Dickens's works in
bright illustrated covers. For the current
month they announce Mrs. Southworth’s
Fair Play; a love-story from Temple Bar,
entitled For Better, For Worse ; a new cook-
book of “Old Maryland” receipts; and a one
dollar edition of Rees's JLife of Edwin Forrest.
This house have on their holiday list a num-
ber of beautiful gift-books which will not be
overlooked, but no changes have been made
in any of them except T. S. Arthur's illus-
trated temperance tales known as Sia, Nights
with the Washingtonians, which has been put
in full Turkey morocco binding.
“The Penn Letter-Book,” advertised on
another page, will be found very convenient
for those who wish to copy without the use of
water or press. By it copies are quickly and
easily taken, and are as permanent as those
made from the best copying fluids. -
E. J. Hale & Son have published the Life,
Sermoms, and Speeches of Rev. Numa F. Reid,
D. D., late of the North Carolina Conference,
edited by his sons. Dr. Reid was well known
through a wide section of the country, and the
volume will be of special interest to the many
who hold for him the highest esteem.

Js T H E Rook TRADE DULL 2
It may be thought a useless, if not a silly
question to ask, in the face of the univer-
sal testimony; but there is an answer
to the inquiry that will not fully accord
with that testimony. For more than a
year past we have heard from all quarters
the cry of hard times, until it has become
Quite the fashion in business to be dull.
Such a condition has become so chronic,
that, when a real improvement comes,
there is danger that the business men will
be so “dull" that they will fail to see it
in time, and thus further improvement
will be retarded.
Compared with the business of former
years, the book, trade is dull, but there
are other standards by which the real
condition of the trade may be more rea-
sonably and justly measured, with results
that are far more encouraging. During
the years of inflation in prices and conse-
quent extravagance, the trade reaped its
share of the harvest, and it was to be expect-
ed that it would suffer its fair proportion of
the losses occasioned by the reaction now
affecting all kinds of business. But an
impartial observer will conclude that it
has suffered less in proportion to the ex-
tent of the interests involved than almost
every other industry. At the same time,
such an impartial investigator will prob-
ably find that publishers have been less
careful to promote the interests of the
trade than other manufacturers. In a
falling market they have continued the
suicidal policy of “bearing” their own
goods, and when the retailers have com-
plained the loudest, they have, after secur-
ing the retailers' orders, thrown their
newest and best books into the auction
room. It is not surprising, then, that the
book trade should languish evenin the best
of times, and that the dealer should fill his
windows with Crandall's Acrobats and sim-
ilar goods. He knows that the manufac-
turer will not compete with him in the
sale of these goods, and if they are not
sold at once, they are as good as the
money; while with books—new ones at
least—if, through the competition of the
publishers, or for other reasons, they are not
sold while fresh from the press, they are
dead stock. If the same course were
pursued by the maker of Crandall's Acro-
bats as that followed by many of the pub-
lishers, those goods would in a short time
not be worth their weight in kindling-
wood. And such a course would ruin any
other business, especially in goods which
are so little a necessity as books. The
publishers have promised to correct all
this, and it is time. We only mention
these mistakes here to show that influ-
ences have been operating in the book
trade to make it peculiarly susceptible to
the effects of the hard times, and that we
should expect to find it this year less ac-
tive than other branches of trade.
But, notwithstanding the general depres-
sion, and the “extra hazardous ” circum-
stances under which the book business has
been conducted, it has held its own bravely
and will present a very favorable balance-
sheet-at the close of the year. While in
former years the business has been as
much overdone, and the market as much
overstocked as in other classes of goods,
there has been less curtailment of produc-
tion than in other directions, and there has
been but a slight reduction in prices. While
others have been pushed to the wall, and
losses and failures have not been uncom-
mon in other trades, but very few book
publishers or booksellers have failed to
meet their engagements. These are most
encouraging facts, not to be overlooked
either in estimating profits or prospects.
The holiday trade will probably not fall
behind that of last year. The more econom-
ical people are in buying Christmas gifts,
the more books they will purchase, for they
are less costly than other gifts, and are
always suitable and appropriate. No
dealer should be deterred, by the conven-
tional cry of dullness, from preparing for
the demand which is sure to come. A
judicious selection of stock, with the pro-
per advertising and display, will in most
localities secure a good Christmas trade.

WILLIAM A. WHEELER.
Mr. William A. Wheeler, well known as
the compiler of the “Dictionary of Noted
Names of Fiction,” and from his connection
with the Boston Public Library, of which he
has been Assistant Superintendent for a num-
ber of years, died in Roxbury, Mass, October
28th, at the age of thirty-nine. He was born
in Leicester, and graduated at Bowdoin Col-
lege in 1853. He assisted Dr. Worcester in
the compilation of his Dictionary, and after-
wards, with Mr. Richard Soule, prepared
“Worcester's Spelling-Book.” In 1860 he
was employed in the revision of Webster's
Dictionary, and about this time compiled his
Dictionary of Noted Names of Fiction. He
left unfinished a “Cyclopaedia of Shakespe-
rian Literature,” and an Index to the prin-
cipal works of ancient and modern writers

to which he gave the title, “Who Wrote It?”
He was also engaged at the time of his death
on the revision of the catalogue of Mr. Tick-
nor’s Library.
EDWARD CAREY BAIRD.
Edward Carey Baird, of Pottsville, Pa., died
suddenly on the 14th ult., while on a visit to
Ashland, Va. He was a grandson of the late
Mathew Carey, and brother of Henry Carey
Baird, the Philadelphia publisher, with whom
he was in business until within a year or
two of the commencement of the war. In
April, 1861, he enlisted as a private in the
Sixth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers,
on its reorganization for three years, became
second lieutenant, and in the same year was
appointed an assistant adjutant-general, with
the rank of captain, and assigned to the staff
of General Meade, where he served with dis-
tinction. He afterwards served with other
generals, and was frequently commended in
their dispatches for meritorious conduct.
JOHN GOULD.
Colonel John Gould, of Albany, N. Y., died
in that city on the 20th ult., at the age of
thirty-nine years. He was the only son of
Anthony Gould, the law book publisher, in
whose store in Albany he remained until his
father’s death in 1858. He afterwards stud-
ied law and practiced in Newark, N.J., in
New York city, and since 1868, in Albany.
He was a colonel in the National Guard, and
was highly esteemed among its members.
He was a diligent student in his profession,
and had collected an extensive and very val-
uable law library.
TOM HöOD.
A cable telegram from London, on the 20th
ult., announced the death of Tom Hood, the
comic writer, and for nearly ten years editor
of Fun. He was the son of Thomas Hood,
the poet and author, was born in 1835, and
entered Pembroke College, Oxford, in 1853.
While there he wrote Pen and Pencil Pictures,
which was followed by Quips and Ch'anks, and
in 1861, The Daughters of King Daker, and
other Poems. He was also the author of
many books for children, and a number of
novels, and wrote for many of the magazines
and periodicals. Among his novels are Gold-
en Heart ; Money’8 Worth ; A Disputed Heri-
tance ; and Love and Valor. Though not so
great a humorist as his father, he very much
resembled him, and has long held a foremost
place among the comic writers of England,
He was also an artist, and illustrated the
elder Hood's Up the Rhºne and Precocious Peggy.
–sº-Q-U-
MEETINGs of THE TRADE.
TFIE CENTRAL BOOKSELLERS' ASSOCIATION.
At an adjourned meeting of the association, held at
the St. Nicholas Hotel, November 10th, a resolution was
adopted fixing 20 per cent. as the maximum discount
*
that Iſlay be allowed to large buyers outside the book
trade.
Messrs. A. D. F. Randolph, W. S. Appleton, M. W.
Dodd, Jos. M. Cushing, Jr., W.III. Lee, and Edward
Claxton were appointed a committee to obtain signa-
tures to the Constitution and By-Laws.
THE ST. LOUIS BOOKSELLERS.
A meeting of the retail booksellers of St. Louis was
held in that city early in the month, and an organization
effected with the following officers: W. S. Bell, presi-
dent; George Wintle, vice-president; George Scherer,
treasurer; William Keymer, secretary.
THE Rook TRADE of New ENGLAND.
A meeting of the publishers and booksellers of New
England was held at the Parker House, Boston, Novem-
ber 19th.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. C. A. B.
Shepard. Mr. H. O. Houghton was elected Chairman,
and Mr. William Lee, Secretary. Mr. A. D. F. Ran-
dolph, of New York, who was present, was invited to
Imake some remarks, and in his happiest style gave some
reminiscences of the old booksellers, and traced the
growth of the trade in this country to its present propor-
tions. He said Boston and New England had done more
than any other section to demoralize the trade; but if
they will come into line now, the dealers of Philadelphia
can be brought to te. Ins, and the whole movement is
secured.
The following agreement, which had received the sig-
natures of nearly every bookseller in New York, was
read, and all present urged to sign it . .
The Central Booksellers' Association adopts twenty
(20) per cent. as the maximum ulscount to be given to
libraries, Schools, leucuers, professional unen generally,
and large buyers outside tue trade, with the exception of
supplies of school-books for hyst introduction; specimen
copies of School-books for exulmination; School books for
Scuool Boards, und State Normal Schools created by law,
and authorized to purchase supplies from public Iunus;
School-books for Scuools other Luun Sunday-schools, sup-
ported by religious and benevolent societies, and pur-
chasing their own supplies of school-books; and to such
Inerchunts as deal in Dooks and school supplies.
The undersigned publishers and booksellers hereby
accept the above py-law of the Central Booksellers'
Association, to take effect on the 20th day of November,
and agree that the terms herein named shall be the rates
of discount thereafter allowed on all sales at our estab-
lishments.
Letters were read from the American News Company,
H. E. Simmons, of the American Tract Society, and
others, giving their support to the movement.
A generul discussion followed.
Mr. Houghton thought the work of selling books to the
public should be left to the retailers.
Mr. Dodd, of New York, being called on, said that all
the publishers and booksellers of New York had signed
the twenty per cent. rule but one. There is a general
anxiety to have something done to eradicate the evils now
existing in the trado. He referred to the want of faith
in the movement in New York, and to the fact that the
American News Company thought that the rule did not
go far enough—that no discount at all should be given to
persons outside the trade. ...-- ~~ * ~ -ss- es-sºº
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
423
Mr. Walter Appleton, of D. Appleton & Co., said that
his house hoped the movement would succeed.
Mr. Bowker, of The Publishers' Weekly, said that some
opposition must be expected. The public are backing
the retail dealers. Mr. Leavitt was willing to give up
the trade sales, and inaugurate the book fairs. The pres-
ent is an auspicious time for the reform.
Mr. William Tomlinson, of Boston, spoke of the fact
that teachers were enabled to undersell the regular deal-
ers; that teachers sold books to pupils in Boston schools
at one-third off, that he could not buy at better than
twenty and ten.
Mr. Randolph commezded the action of the Board of
Trade. Although the agreement which they were called
upon to sign was not all he could wish, he was thankful
to get anything in the way of reform.
Mr. James Campbell. of Boston, referred to the injus-
tice to the retail booksellers by the practice of publishers
in supplying school committees and boards.
booksellers should be sustained, and publishers should
allow no discounts at all to those not in the trade.
Mr. Draper, of Andover, referred to his twenty-five
years' experience in the trade. He was unable to suc-
cessfully prosecute his business now by reason of the
competition of publishers. He has given notice to the
trade that his books are not to be sold to consumers at
better than twenty per cent., and he refuses to supply
any who undersell that price. Laige's Commentary is
sold to students in Andover at $3. A student is selling
books to his fellows at thirty per cent. off, and better.
The publishers should so sell to towns and schools as to
give the rotailers a chance to supply them. He now
offers his classical books at fifteen to twenty per cent.,
and cannot sell them. He pointed out the benefits which
publishers would secure by encouraging retailers to keep
their books.
Ml. Randolph said, in reply to the remarks of Mr.
Campbell, that the old ways had been so long pursued
that they could not be entirely corrected at once; that
those who insisted upon no discounts should have gone
to Put-in-Bay and advocated their plans there. The
twenty per cent. Tule was a gain, and as such he advo-
cated it. Boston has been retailing books at from twenty
to forty per cent. off, and Philadelphia don't pretend to
ask the retail price. The action of the Board of Trade
was the most important step yet gained, and he appealed
to the trade not to block the way. *
At this point Mr. Houghton was excused from the
Imeeting, and Mr. Randolph was called to the chair.
Mr. Sargent, of the Congregational Publication Soci-
ety, thought retail prices too high.
Mr. Draper supported Mr. Sargent's views, and said
that large discounts were frequently made because re-
tail prices were too high.
Mr. Randolph replied that the trade demand large
discounts. When he undertook to sell his books to Sun-
day-schools at retail prices they fell dead.
Mr. Tomlinson wanted to know what would be done
with dead stock, and Mr. Randolph replied, sell it at
your own price, but do not parade the original retail
price.
Tho retail.
Mr. Campbell said many houses in Boston bought in
| large quantities at extra discounts, for the sole purpose
of underselling their neighbors.
Mr. I.ee appealed to the Boston booksellers, saying
that the publishers had already agreed to the rule and
the retailers should not hesitate to give it their support.
Mr. Hammett spoke of the ruinous practice of the pub-
lishers of supplying small schools direct at best discounts,
entirely ignoring the booksellers, not only for first intro-
duction, but for a continued supply.
A strong desire was expressed by a number present to
form a New England Association, and a committee of
five was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws
for such an association. and were instructed to wait upon
the trade and solicit their signatures, and to call another
meeting at an early day. The committee consists of
Messrs. M. H. Sargent, Wm. Lee, Samuel F. Nichols,
A. Williams, and James Campbell.
It was explained that the twenty per cent. rule was not
to be binding on any who signed it, until proper notifica-
tion shall be given of the time when it is to go into effect.
The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the com-
mittee. -
*====
The following were among the letters which were read
at the meeting:
BANGoR, November 17, 1874.
GENTs—We shall not be represented in person at your
meeting of the 19th instant, yet we desire to express our
satisfaction that it is to be held, and for the purpose
mentioned in your circular.
We have long considered it unfair and unjust that those
not in the trade should have opportunity to purchase on
same terms, or even less, than those who belong to the
craft. We trust that some plan may be agreed upon
which shall give to the latter the protection which it
seems right they should have against such irregularities.
We believe such a result might be reached not only with:
out detriment to the legitimate business of Boston aill
other large centres of trade, but to their increased bene-
fit in the end.
*...] Respectfully yours,
E. F. & W. G. DUSEN,
D. BUGBEE & Co.,
CHARLES HIGHT.
RUTLAND, WT. November 17, 1874.
Messrs. LEE & SEEPARD, NICHOLS & HALL, and others:
Yours of the 13th is at hand, extending to us an invita-
tion to be present November 19th at the meeting of book-
sellers of New England. We wish we could be there,
but we shall have to deny ourselves that pleasure. We
early sent our $1 to become a member of the American
IBook Trade Association, and we believe that unless the
booksellers of the country are protected in their sales of
books against underselling firms, there will be more
“peanut and news stands,” and less booksellers. We do
not job better than twenty-five per cent. off, and teachers
get their ten per cent. off, which is all right enough.
We can remember the time when the country mor-
chant was perfectly satisfied with twenty per cent. off;
but he has been finding out of late years that if he only
goes to market as a teacher or minister, or anything else
than a bookseller, that he can get better prices. The
principal fault we have to find is the discount that is
allowed owtside parties. Cut it down to ten per cent.
Speed the good work.
Yours, etc.,
TUTTLE & CO.

of proper names. Such a work is indispen-
sable to the Sabbath-school teacher.

venient blank book for recording the names,

lustrated volume for the holidays, entitled

bury's Life of Turner, which has been pre-

lyight. etc. These poems are truthful delinea-
tions of human nature, in the style of Carle-
ton’s Farm Ballads. and their popularity has
been shown by their being copied into hun-
dreds of the western journals during the past
year.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ C UIDE.
A few years ago, Jonas Lie, a lawyer living
in a little country town of Norway, published
a novel in Copenhagen, which attracted much
attention in that part of the world. Several
other stories from his pen have since appeared,
all noted for their vivid pictures of simple
Norwegian life, and possessing much artistic
and literary merit. Roberts Brothers are
having three of them translated for the first
time, and will issue them during the winter.
The titles are The Man with the Second Sight ,
or, Pictures from Nordland; The Three-master
“Future ; ” or, Life in High Latitudes ; and The
Pilot and his W.fe. -
- Pussy Tip-Toes' Family, published by E. P. Dut-
ton & Co., is one of the handsomest as well as
one of the cheapest gift-books of the season. The
delightful stories are printed in large, clear type,
and the clever illustrations and rich binding are
very attractive.
The Hieroglyphic Geography, announced last
month in these columns, has been published by
E. P. Dutton & Co. It is of atlas size and con-
tains seven pages of meat cuts, one for each of the
New England States and one for New York. On
alternate pages are full translations of the re-
buses. It is a unique volume and will afford
great pleasure to the children, and while it will
please will impress upon their minds important
geographical facts.
Mr. Wilkinson’s Free Lance in the Field of
Life and Letters, just issued by Albert Mason,
contains eight essays, one on George Eliot's now-
els, three on Mr. Lowell's writings, and two on
Mr. Bryant. The others are on the History of
the Christian Commission, and the Character
and Literary Influence of Erasmus. The title,
the author says, is a declaration of independence,
and is selected because he has written the essays
in a spirit of freedom from prescription and con-
Wentlöll.
Messrs. McDivitt, Campbell & Co., successors
to J. R. McDivitt, N. Y., have published the
very valuable Papers read before the Medico-Le-
gal Society of New York since its organization.
Many of them have been published in various
magazines or papers, but they have never before
been collected, and some of them have never
before been printed. The medico-legal questions
here discussed are those of great interest and
importance, and the papers were prepared by
the ablest men of both professions. Among the
writers are Doctors Wm. A. Hammond, john C.
Peters, and James J. O'Dea, Judge Campbell,
and a score of other names noted in law or med-
icine. The best of what has been written on
these questions is to be found in this volume.

published in London. It is a record of the votes
of members of Parliament for the year, and must
be useful to constituencies.
The first critical articles by Sainte-Beuve have
just appeared, under the title Premiers Lundis.
The volume contains the first article that Sainte-
Beuve ever wrote on Victor Hugo. It is a re-
view of Odes et Ballades, and declares Hugo's
weak point to be a lack of proportion.
The Greville journal has created so much
feeling in London, that the editor, Mr. Reeves,
has felt himself bound to state that the family
were not consulted concerning its publication.
Mr. Greville gave the work to him to be pub-
lished at his own discretion, and he alone is
responsible for its appearance. Mr. Reeve adds
that the rest of the journal will not be published
for a long time.
The rumor that the memoirs of Prince Tal-
leyrand are about to be published is denied. It
is said that the terms fixed by the author expired
in 1866; but when the Prince's executors showed
the MS. to Napoleon III., the latter found that
Thiers, Guizot, and others were so badly treated
that he asked to have its publication delayed for
thirty years, and the heirs of Prince Talleyrand
have resolved to keep their contract.
The Athenaeum says that the Hunterian Club
will follow the reprints of Samuel Rowland with
the works of Thomas Lodge, the Elizabethan
writer, of whom Phillips, the nephew of Milton,
speaks as “one of the writers of those pretty
old pastoral songs which were very much the
strain of those times.” -

chased no less than 3,415 manuscripts last
year. Among thern was a curious treatise in
French on the Holy Sacrament, composed by
King Edward VI., of England, in 1549, and
written in his own hand.
Mr. John H. Ingram’s edition of the works
of Elgar Allan Poe, with the new memoir,
has been issued by the Messrs, Black, of Ed-
inburgh. In his preface, Mr. Ingram says:
“To the ‘memoir’ prefixed to this edition the
reader's attention is particularly solicited, not
so much from the fact that it contains a great
deal that is new, as that it omits a great deal
that is old and misleading. The Soi-disant
“Memoir of Edgar Poe,’ by Rufus W. Gris-
wold, has acquired a world-wide notoriety,
and his misrepresentations have been copied
or quoted by every subsequent biographer,
so that the attempt at this late period to re-
fute them will appear to many an almost
hopeless task ; but although in Europe this
‘ fancy sketch of a perverted jaundiced vision’
has been accepted, almost without exception,
as a record of facts, in America its truthful-
ness has been frequently and authoritatively
impugned, and a perusal of the following
pages will, it is confidently believed, alter
the prevalen, idea of Poe's character.”
NewsPAPERS AND PERIODICALs.
The Revue des Deva: Mondes, Paris, has been
published forty-four years, and forms 216
volumes.
St. Chrysostom's Magazine having been en-
larged, the retail price per copy has been in-
creased to 15 cents.
Beginning with the January number, the
price of Brainard's Musical World to the trade
will be raised to 12 cents,
The Philadelphia, Illustrated is the name of
a new weekly illustrated journal which has
made its appearance in Philadelphia.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com-
'mercial points out the shortest road to the
millennium. He says: “If a million people
will subscribe for Ovd and New, and read Mr.
Hale's stories and follow their good hints,
the country will within a twelvemonth enter
on its golden age.”
The Clarion is a new music and art monthly,
edited by E. S. Metcalf, and published by
A. A. Smith & Co., Salem, Mass. It is a
neatly printed quarto of twenty pages, con-
taining several pieces of new music, and in-
teresting reading matter. Price, $1.00 per
year; 10 cents per copy.
The Young Folks' Gem is a neat little il-
lustrated monthly for children, published by
John A. Clark, at Wardsworth, Ohio, at 30
cents per year. -
The newspaper rumor that Appleton’s Jour-
mal is to be discontinued at the close of the
year, is without foundation. On the contrary,
the publishers promise that it shall be even
more interesting than in previous years.
The Quebec Gazette, the oldest paper re-
taining its name and published without in-
terruption on the continent, has just been
sold to the proprietor of the Morning Chroni-
cle, Quebec. It was established in 1764.
It is noticeable that two of our leading
magazines for December contain papers by
spiritualists, in defense of the recent mani-
festations. The article in the Atlantic is by
Robert Dale Owen, and the Galaay paper by
General Francis J. Lippitt, of Boston. Both
are important to those who are interested in
the subject.
D. Appleton & Co. will assume the pub-
lication in America of the London Art Journal,
with the beginning of the new year, under
the editorial charge of Mr. O. B. Bunce, the
editor of Appleton’s Journal. Engravings of
American subjects will be introduced, and
other features to make it more interesting to
American readers.
The Reviewer is the name of a new weekly
journal of twelve quarto pages, published in
Philadelphia, and devoted to literature, art,
music, and the drama. The first numbers
contain lively book reviews, chatty letters,
interesting editorials, and other matter of
interest and merit. Price $400 per year, 10
cents per number.
With the January number, The American
Elistorical Record will be enlarged and im-
proved, and its name will be changed to Pot-
ter's American Monthly. The department of
American History will be retained as an es-
sential feature, but other subjects will be
embraced in its scope, and it will more
nearly resemble our other illustrated maga-
zines. The price will remain unchanged.
The publishers of the Atlitntic Monthly
promise a feast of good things for the com-
ing year. Dr. Brown-Séquard will contribute
popular papers on medical science. Charles
Dudley Warner and Bayard Taylor will fur-
nish sketches of travel and foreign life, and
David A. Wells and Edward Atkinson will
discuss currency and finance. Mr. Lothrop
will give us some studies of American fiction,
and Mr. T. S. Perry will contribute a series of
papers on French and German authors.
The editor of the Evangelist, Rev. Dr. Field
in a recent number of that journal, thus
speaks of his twenty years' connection with
it : “Looking back over this eventful period,
he sees many changes. The partner with
whom he was first associated has long been
sleeping in the grave. The Independent has
chsnged editors three or four times. Dr.
Leavitt, who was for some years editor of the
428
THE AMERICAN B00KSELLERS GUIDE.
Foangelist, and afterwards aided to establish
the Independent, has but lately passed away.
The Morses, who founded the Observer, and
Mr. A. P. Cumings, who was long associated
with them—all are gone. So many and rapid
have been these changes that at the end of
these twenty years the present writer finds
himself the oldest editor connected with the
religious press in this city, with the single
exception of Dr. S. Irenaeus Prime. Dr.
Bright, of the Evaminer, though an older
man, came to this city aad entered upon his
editorial life here a year later. In the daily
press the changes have been equally great.
The men who were the founders of the
leading journals have almost all disappeared
from the scene—David Hale, Gerard Hallock,
James Gordon Bennett, Horace Greeley, Hen-
ry J. Raymond, James R. Spaulding, and
James Brooks. One alone—William Cullen
Bryant—clarum et venerabile momen—remains.
Thurlow Weed, it is true, is still living, but
not in active service. He lingers on the stage
as a type of a race of remarkable men that
have almost all passed away.”

Music Not Es.
The death of the Norwegian composer and
pianist is announced in Paris, where he had
long resided.
Waiting for Papa, published by J. S. White
& Co. Marshall, Mich., is a pleasing little
ballad, founded upon a touching story of a
little girl who braved the cold and rain to
save an intenperate father.
The musical event of the month has been
the production of Verdi's Requiem Mass,
written in honor of the memory of Manzoni.
Though very warmly appreciated, it has not
awakened the enthusiasm which it produced
in Milan and Paris.
Biglow & Main have issued No. 2 of their
Anthem Serial, containing five new anthems
written for Thanksgiving and Christmas
Services, and No. 5 of the little Christmas
Annual, containing five new pieces suitable
for Sunday-School Christmas festivals.
G. D. Russell & Co. have just ready a
volume of 110 select pieces for the church
or cabinet organ, compiled by Junius W. Hill
and J. E. Trowbridge. The pieces are arranged
from the best masters, and are designed
for those who desire to study first-class com-
positions.
Oliver Ditson & Co. have just published
IDanks’s Anthem. Services, containing about
seventy anthems, especially adapted to the
wants of Episcopal quartets and choirs. It
comprises a variety of anthem settings for
regular and special services by the best Ameri-
can and foreign composers, and will be of
great value to organists and choirs. The same
publishers have issued a collection of four-
hand pieces, containing 250 pages of duets,
from the simplest to the most difficult.
The English version of La Fille de Madame
Angot has been received with much favor.
Signor Guidi, of Florence, has discovered
a magnificent and complete copy of the learn-
ed old work written by Mersenne, and entitled
“Harmonie Universelle, contenant la Théorie
et la Pratique de la Musique, où il est traité
des Consonnances, des Dissonnances, des
Genres, des Modes, de la Composition, de la
Voix, du Chant, et de tous les Instruments
Harmoniques” (Paris, Ballard, 1666). It is
divided into seven books, and consists of 1,506
pages in folio, exclusive of the numerous pre-
faces, dedications, etc. Lichtal thus speaks
of it in his Dictionary : “A most rare work,
which may in a certain manner be considered
as the magazine of all musical knowledge
existing at the commencement of the seven-
teenth century, particularly in France; thus
it is useful to the writer on music desirous
of becoming acquainted with the history of
the art and of its theory at that period.”
Bayard Taylor says of Lars: I wrote
“ Lars ” just two years ago, at this time, in
the Autumn, and all the scenes rose distinctly
to my mind’s eye—Tinicum Island, the shores
of the Delaware, Wilmington, the old church
—as l sat in my room in Germany. I also re-
membered Hockessin, for the name had always
lingered in my mind in a peculiar manner,
and recalled to me the charms of its scenery
—something picturesque, and with a diversi-
fied beauty. Now, it is a strange fact that
when in your book you have once created a
character, and given him a distinct form in
your own mind, he acquires a separate exist-
ence, and begins to do as he will. So, when
Lars had arrived at Philadelphia and come to
Tinicum, and, failing to find his ancestors, had
reached Wilmington, he went on to Hockessin
himself. I could not binder it.

The StationERY MARKET,
Business is very dull for the season, though jobbers have been kept busy with small orders.
&
The usual numbesr of
buyers are in the market, but there is a general disposition to delay stocking up for the holidays, as long as possible,
There are no changes to note in prices, except on papers, which have been constantly tending downward.
This is
causod by the over-supply, and manufacturers are endeavoring to eſſect an agreement among themselves to run on half-time.

stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments : 1st.—It is contrary to all rulcs of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved reſer-
ence;...therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 24.-In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d.-Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or carting in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.--Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all new publications to own dealers, whless
they order ws not to do go. . We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as šuou as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the Couvrary. 8th.-Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.—Letters, With full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express; to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-News-
dealers pay the Postage on their Packages of Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rate of postage as if
paid quarterly in advauce.
- POSTAGE TO NEWSI DIEALERS.
NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. BOUND BOOKS, One Cent for every TWO Ounces,
MAGAZINES, One Cent for every Four Ounces, - PAPER COWERED NOVELS, do, dO.
To Start, a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by Studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form :

o
NEW YORK, Jan. 1, 1875.
The busiest month of the year has passed,
nd our booksellers have done far better than
many of them expected to do. After the
months of stagnation, the days and nights
of hard work demanded of them during the
past few weeks will go far to confirm the
• fact that a Christmas season is never dull in
the book trade, and that the more careful
people are of their money, the more certain
they are to flock to the book-stores for their
presents. The beautifully illustrated juve-
niles which have been displayed in great va-
riety, have of course, received the greatest
share of attention, but the handsome editions
of the poets and other standard volumes have
been, perhaps, in greater demand than in for-
mer seasons. Books which have combined
the useful with the beautiful, have sold as
rapidly as they were shown. The fine art
books have not been neglected, and paying
editions have generally been disposed of, but
buyers as a rule, have sought less costly vol-
umes. In the pressure of the holiday trade
many of the solid books of the month, which
were not made especially for the season, have
been neglected by both publishers and the
public. The former have not pressed them
upon the attention of the latter, and the lat-
ter have had no time to look for them. As
trade Settles down into its ordinary channels,
it is to these books that the bookseller must
now give his attention. Of the new books in
preparation but little can be said, as the
bustle of the past few weeks has in most cases
prevented publishers from making definite
plans,
Of the latest books published by D. Apple-
ton & Co. which have been crowded out of
proper notice by holiday stock, but which now
in turn must displace the latter on the book-
seller's shelves, are Dr. Draper’s History of the
Comflict between Religion and Science ; the first
volume of Mr. H. H. Bancroft’s large and com-

}. work on the Native Races of the
Écific States of North America, Theology in
ºnglish Poets, by Rev. Stopford A. Brooke;
U John S. Hittell’s Brief History of Culture ;
and The Evangel, a poem by Dr. Abraham
Cowles. Dr. Draper's book is in the Interna-
tional Scientific Series, and is worthy of a
prominent place in this list of valuable works.
It has been noticed at length by the press all
over the country and its merits are now widely
known. Mr Bancroft’s work, of which the
first volume is now offered, when completed,
will be one of the most important in the lan-
guage. Indeed, this volume alone has a value
which can hardly be overestimated. Fifty
pages are given to a list of twelve hundred
works which have been consulted by the
author in its preparation. The character of
the work can be best given in the words of
the author himself. At the beginning of the
second chapter, he says: I shall attempt to
describe the physical and mental characteris-
tics of the native races of the Pacific States
under seven distinct groups, namely : I. Hy-
perboreans, being those natives whose terri-
tory iies north of the fifty-fifth parallel ; II.
Columbians, who dwell between the fifty-fifth
and forty-second parallels, and whose lands to
some extent are drained by the Columbia
River ; III. Californians, and the inhabitants
of the Great Basin; IV. New Mexicans, in-
cluding the natives of the Colorado River and
Northern Mexico; W. Wild tribes of Mexico;
VII. Civilized nations of Mexico and Central
America. It is my purpose, without any at-
tempt at ethnological classification, or further
comment concerning races or stocks, plainly
to portray such customs and characteristics as
were peculiar to each people at the time of its
first intercourse with European strangers;
leaving scientists to make their own deduc-
tions, and draw specific lines between linguis-
tic and physiological families, as they may
deem proper. I shall endeavor to picture
these nations in their aboriginal condition, as
seen by the first invaders, as described by
those who beheld them in their savage gran-

deur, and before they were startled from their
lair by the treacherous voice of givilized friend-
ship. Now they are gone—those dusky deni-
zens of a thousand forests—melted like hoar'
frost before the rising sun of a superior intel-
ligence ; and it is only from the earliest
records, from the narratives of eye-witnesses,
many of them rude, unlettered men, trappers,
sailors and soldiers, that we are able to know
them as they were. -
Rev. Stopford A. Brooke is Chaplain in ordi-
aary to the Queen, and Theology in the Jºnglish
Poets, is a series of lectures delivered in St.
James Chapel, London. They tre: t particu-
larly
poets from Pope to Tennyson and Browning.
The author treats of theology in its broadest
sense. “The poets of England ever since
Cowper,” he says, “ have been more and more
theological, till we reach such men as Tenny?
son or Browning, whose poetry is tº
crowded with theology. But the theolo
the poets is different from that of churches
sects, in this, especially, that it is not formu-
hated into propositions, but it is the natural
growth of their own hearts. They are, by
their very nature, strongly individual; they
grow more by their own special genius than
by the influence of the life of the world around
them, and they are, therefore. Sure to have a
theology—that is, a doctrine of God in his rela-
tion to man, nature and their own soul—which
will be independent of conventional religious
thought.” The volume, so far from being dry
and dull as its title might indicate, glows with
brightness and warmth, and affords delightful
reading.
Mr. Hittell's A Brief History of Culture, de-
serves a much more extended notice than my
brief limits will permit. In a volume of but
little more than three hundred pages, the au-
thor has condensed the main facts connected
with the history of human progress. He di-
vides this history into five periods, which he
names the ages of Stone, Bronze, Iron, Print-
ing and Steam, and treats of each in a style
that is at once commendable for its concise-
ness and its fullness. The book is valuable
as a compendium of facts, and is very whole-
some reading for the cynical spirits who are
, fond of lauding the past at the expense of the
present, and who believe the world to be retro-
grading. Says the author, “I have done: my
best to compress within a few hours' reading
the chief lessons of historical philosophy, to
show that man is a progressive animal; that
his advancement has been constant ; that,
though his speed has somtimes been checked
for a brief period relatively, his career has
'never turned backwards; that the useful arts
have made the chief epochs in history, and are
the main bases of civilization ; and that pro-
gress increases in geometrical ratio with the
course of time, and tends, since the begining
of the iron age, to greater liberty and the
emancipation of human nature from the re-
Cowper, Coleridge, Wordsworth and
Burns, but incidentally of the other English
strictions imposed upon it by barbarism.”
Those who are fortunate enough to read the
book will agree that he has succeeded admira-
bly. The Evangel is a life of Christ in verse
which possesses literary merit of a high order.
Though evidently prepared for a holiday
book, being elegantly illustrated by reproduc-
tions of ancient and modern pictures of the
Messiah, the poem is of more than ephemeral
value and a new and cheaper edition will
probably be published. Among the books
announced for early issue by the Appletons
are Herbert Spencer's l’rinciples of Sociology;
a novel by Mrs. McQuoid, entitled My Story,
and one from Miss Fisher (Christian Reid)
yntitled Hearts and Hands, just finished in
*Appleton’s Journal. A book on Spiritualism
by Francis G. Fairfield, in which the author
will endeavor to explain the phenomena class-
ed under that name, will soon be published.
The most important of the late issues of
Hafper & Brothers are Sir Samuel Baker's
Ismalia, a narrative of the expedition to Cen-
tral Africa for the suppression of the slave
trade, which expedition was organized by
Ismail, the Khedive of Egypt; Nordhoff’
Communistic Societies of the United States ; and
Remains of ſlost Empires, by P. V. N. Myres
Books on Africa which deal with the manners
and customs of the strange people, and de-
scriptions of the stranger scenery and animals
of that great unknown land have a peculiar
fascination, and Sir Samuel Baker’s is one of
the most interesting of this numerous class of
books ever written. The author tells his
story of marveious adventures, privations,
hardships, defeat, and successes in a simple
straightforward style, which captivates and
holds the attention of the reader to the end.
Not a few will value the work for what it adds
to our knowledge of a comparatively un-
known continent, and as a book of adventure
it will recommend itself to all. It is a large
octavo, beautifully illustrated, and well sup-
plied with maps. Mr. Charles Nordhoff, who,
by the way, has recently been added by the
N. Y. Herald, to its corps of correspondents at
Washington, is well known as the writer of
the books on California, which have been high-
ly praised here and in Europe, but if he had
never before written a line, his book on the
Communistic Societies of the United States would
have made his reputation. It is a clear and
detailed account of the condition. beliefs, so-
cial life, numbers, industries, etc., of our com-
munistic societies, which embrace a greater
variety of belief, and a greater number of indi-,
viduals than most people suppose. Living as
they do, so isolated from the rest of the world,
but little has been known of them outside of
their own circles, and Mr. Nordhoff has done
the world a service, in collecting these facts
“from personal visit and observation,” and
presenting them in a dispassionate, unpreju-
diced style. The volume is illustrated with
engravings of places, people, customs, etc.

P. V. M. Myers and Henry M. Myers, joined

Afterwards Mr. H. M. Myers headed an ex-
ploring expedition to Central America, and
after graduating, the two took an Asiatic trip,
for the purpose of exploration. The volume
just published contains the results of thºir-

The other recent books from the Harpers"
are Gladstone's The Vatican Decrees in their
Bearing on Civil Allegiſtnce, to which the pub-
lishers have added a history of the Vatican
Council, the Syllabus of Errors, and the Vati-
can Decrees, from Dr. Schaff's forthcoming
work on The Creeds of Christianity; Charles
Beade's A Hero wind a Martyr', a powerful and
affecting story of heroism in humble life;
Lost for Love, by Miss Braddon; Jessie Trim,
by Farjeon : In Honor Bowmd, by Charles Gib-
bon; and The Ugly Girl Papers, a number of
papers on the toilet which have been pleasing
the readers of Harper’s Bagºt?'. Mr. Gibbon’s
novel, like his Robin Gray, is a Scotch story
in which is the delicate touch of the artist,
charming from its very simplicity. Farjeon’s
Jessie Trim is also noticeable for its simplicity
and its truth to nature. One of the most en-
couraging signs of the times is a growing
taste amoug novel readers for such works of
fiction as have been given us by Gibbon and
Farjeon. The Harpers will soon publish
Wilkie Collins' After Dark, und Other Tales,
which will complete their library edition of
this author’s stories, containing all except
The Law and the Lady, now running in Hur-
per’s Weekly. - -
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have published
Myths of the Rhône, translated from the French
of X. B. Saintine by Professor Schele De Vere,
and embellished with 150 illustrations by
Doré. Though one of the handsomest hoſi-
day books of the year and a very appropriate
gift book, it has a permanent value, and will
continue to be in demand when other holiday
books are put by till the next gift season.'
The numerous weird and curious German
legends which have been preserved for gener-
ations by the people along the Rhine are
here collected, making a volume of legendary
lore that is not only unique and pleasant to
read, but to thoughtful readers is full of sug-
gestion. The publishers have also issued in
their “Epochs of History,” The Houses of Lan-
caster and York, by James Gairdner, covering
one of the most interesting periods of English
history. Like the three preceding volumes,
this little book is invaluable to the student,
leaving clear and vivid impressions of the
:
historical events of the period, freed from a
mass of unimportant facts which only serve.
to efface from the mind of the reader of ordi-
nary histories that which he wishes to retain.
The next volume in the Bric-a-Brac series.
will be the famous Gréville Memoirs, carefully.
condensed by Mr. Stoddard. Mr. George.

Henry Holt & Co.'s book of the season is
Vers De Société, compiled by Mr. C. H. Jones,
from Praed, Landor, Thackeray, Moore,
Holmes, Calverly, Saxe, Locker, Dobson, and
others. The volume is a dainty specimen of
book-making. Upon the centre of a page of
light cream tint is a block tint of delicate
gray upon which the text is printed. The
title page and the half titles are pretty bits
of art, and the binding is ingenious and rich.
The contents are as notable as the mechan-
ical execution of the volume, and show the
excellent taste of the compiler.
J. B. Ford & Co. have in no small degree
contributed to the pleasures of the children
who read, by the publication of two of the
very best books of the season They are
Professor Raymond's The Man in the Moom,

and Stories of Pets, from Grace Greenwood,”
with the title Heads and Tails. The first con-
tains twenty fairy stories, captivating but
wholesome, and written in simple child’s lan-
guage. Grace Greenwood’s book contains
stories of pet animals, suitable for older
children, and sure to afford thern both plea-
sure and profit. Both books are rich in illus-

Sidney, of which a new edition has just been
issued by Ford & Co., was first issued by
Tichnor & Fields in 1858, and attracted much
attention at the time, because it filled å vacant
niche in the library of distinguished men. It
is as valuable now, for it is probably the only
account of Sidney's life in º, The

novel, by Mary Cemmer Ames. Mr. Eggle-
ston's Atlantic Papers, which are now put in
book form, have attracted much attention
from the vivid pictures which they give of
life in the Confederate Army, until now an
unsealed book to Northerners. The author's
, biomest, open style also invests the book with
a charm that it would not have from another
pen, and he speaks from personal experience
and observation. Mrs. Ames’ novel is vigorous
in style, ingenious in plot, and the characters
are so admirably drawn, that the reader ac-
knowledges an acquaintance, if not a Syºm-
pathy with them in an early stage of the
story.

In mentioning the new
books "I shall not include those especially
prepared for gift-books, as most of them have
been extensively advertised and reviewed,
but shall very briefly call attention to those
that are seasonable at all times, and as far as
possible those which may be issued during
the winter. e -
James R. Osgood & Co.'s beautiful volume
of heliotype reproductions have been highly
appreciated by the public, and their Hangºng
of the Crane was probably the most popular
book of the season. The Circassian Boy, by
Michael Lermontoff, who has been called the
Byron of Russia, has been admirably trans-
lated by S. S. Conant, who also prefaces the
volume by a brief and highly interesting ac-
count of the three great Russian poets—Pusch-
kin, Lermontoff, and Kolzoff. The poem is a
pathetic and spirited story of a Circassian
boy, who was ſºaptured as a slave and confined
in a convent, made his escape to the forest,
and after three days was recaptured and
brought back to die The story is of his
three days of liberty. The poem in the ori-
ginal must be a brilliant compostion to have
retained so much beauty as is preserved in
the translation. Emerson's collection of
poems to which the distinctive title Parmas-
sus has been given, is noteworthy as an antho-
logy worth preserving, embracing recollections
from a number of poets who are little known.
Indeed, the writer of one of the most re-
markable poems in the volume is wholly un-
known in the world outside his circle of
friends. To many, the most interesting por-
tion of the volume will be Mr. Emerson’s
preface, in which he charmingly discusses
poetry and poets. -
The fifth volume of “ I little Classics” is near-
ly ready. It is entitled J/aughter, and contains
Dickens's “Christmas Carol,” Charles Lamb's
“Dissertation on Roast Pig,” E. E. Hale's
“Skeleton in the Closet,” Holmes’s “A Visit
to the Asylum for the Aged and Decayed
Punsters,” Carleton’s “ Neal Malone,” Gerald

readable books. It is mainly a story of coun-
try life in New England, with the characters
boldly drawn, and enough of plot to interest
the average novel-reader. The author excels
in descriptive power, and although this is his
first novel, we may predict for it abundant
success. That Queer Girl, by the popular
writer, Virginia F. Townsend, is added to the
Maidenhood Series, and The Dorcas Club Afloat,
by Oliver Optic, to the Yacht Club books.
During the coming month this house will
print a volume of papers from Sir Richard
Steele, compiled with excellent literary taste,
by Mr. J. E. Babson; under the title of Forever
L08t, a volume of sermons on eternal punish-
ment, by the brilliant author of the Arena and
the Throne, Professor Townsend; a series of

essays on Nature and Culture, by Harvey
Rice; a new volume of Mr. Baker's The Read-
&ng Club; and the Rev. P. C. Headley’s long
announced book on Iceland, The Island of
Fire, which will have to do not only with the
natural features of the island, but with the
the life and customs of the people, their early
voyages of discovery, their religion and liter-
ature. Nasby’s satire on society, The Morals
of Abou Ben Adhem—“Eastern Fruits on West-
ern Dishes,” will also probably be published
during the month -
One of the most handsomely printed vol-
umes lately issued from the press is Singers

of the books is for younger readers, and con-
sists of eleven stories, written by eleven

although they do not possess a striking
originality, they are fresh and good.
Rev. E. E. Hale's Own' New Ch'usade, is a
temperance story, not of extreme impossible
people, who live only in books, but of
everyday people and places. Readers of the
Atlantic will remember a story told in its
pages some time ago by Mrs. Lenowens,
of an incident in the royal household of Siam ;
how a young wife of the king fell in love
with a courtier, how the king found it out,
and the two, together with a confidant, were
put to death. This is The Story of Boon,
put into verse by “H. H.,” the author of Bits
of Talk. During January Roberts Bros. will
publish a pleasing love novel, by Mary Cow-
den Clarke, entitled A Rambling Story, the first
novel, from this author since The Iron Cousin,
published ten years ago.
William F. Gill & Co. have been busy all
the month with their beautiful Lofos Leaves,
and it is still in demand. This month they
will publish The Woman of Fire, by A. Belot.
This is one of the most sensational of Belot's
novels, and has been very popular in France,
but has never before been published here.
The translation is made by Mr. James Furbish,
who translated Article 47, by which the author .
is best known to American readers. Among
the other books which these publishers will
offer during the Winter and Spring are
Wilkie Collin's Alicia Warlock, the Dream
Woman, ; and two novels by Edmund Yates,
The Silent Witness, and One of Eve's Family.
The Romance of an Honest Woman, by Victor

wide awake little girl, and the story of her
play, her lessons, her trials and adventures
is told in charming style. It is very prettily
illustrated, and put into the handsome covers
of the American Home Series. In the same
series is published The Moose-Hunters, by Q.
A. Stephens, the author of the popularlbooks
of out-door life, known as The Camping.Qut
Series. The Moose-Hunters is the stºy of a
party of boys who spent their vääijºn
hunting and trapping in the backwoo
Maine, and made money to continue t
college course. A single glance at the bºok
will make a boy unhappy till he has £ead
every line of it. Rev. W. H. H. Murray’s lec-
ture on Deacons, which was first given in
Boston in 1871, and has since been repeated
all over the country, has been published in a
neat volume, with twenty-one illustrations.
The lecture was written, Mr. Murray says in
his preface, to call the attention of the Church
to the perversion of the office of Deacon,
which, in congregational churches, was in-
tended to assist the pastor, but which fulfills
no such purpose; and to inculcate the sweet
lesson of charity and forgiveness, both as re-
gards alms-giving and differences in matters
of belief. There are some capital sketches of
character in the book. The History of the
United States Marine Corps, by M. Almy Ald-
rich and Captain R. S. Collum, is announced
for this month. Loring's book on Cattle ;
and Rand’s Window Gardener, and Bulbs, and
How to Grott. Them, will be issued early in the

Estes & Lauriat have published a book on
Ministerial Life, giving the successes and

Gairdner's Houses of Lancaster and York, in

year Estes and Lauriat will publish several
other novels from Mrs. Riddell, and Florence
Maryatt's Open Sesame.
D. Lothrop & Co. have issued, in attractive
form, Kitty Kent’s Troubles, by Julia A.Eastman
the authoress of those pleasing stories, Beulah
Rommey, and Striking for the ſºight : A White

daily texts and devotional meditations on the
Namie and Work of our Savior, by the Rev.
Samuel Cutter. The texts are selected with
great care and excellent judgment, and the
poetry is from the best in the language.
Dyret is an allegory of a discontented maiden
who wanders from home in search of pleas-
ure, yields to the allurements of fancy, seeks
contentment in the many ways in which it is
too often sought, becomes disheartened and
weary, and finally finds consolation and peace
in religion. There is much that is meritori-

out with a remarkable purity of thought
and expression. The illustrations are very fine,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1, 1875.
Our booksellers have had an excellent holi-
day trade, which will go far toward making
up for the dullness of the fall and early win-
ter. Of the books that have been published,
there is little to be said that has not already
been said, and the plans for the new year are
as yet very indefinite. * ,
One of the most valuable as well as the most
elegant of the holiday books, was the illus-
trated edition of Alibone's Quotations, published
by J. B. Lippincott & Co. Their new edition
of the Cyclopedia of Female Poets, with fine
steel engravings, Many Lands (tnd Many Peo-
ple, and The New Hyperion, the last two taken
from Lippencott’s Magazine, all have a value
beyond that of the profuse illustrations and,
rich bindings. Many Lands contains the
sketches of travel that have been worthy of a
place in the magazine, and in their collected
form they are worthy of a place in any library,
even without the 150 illustrations which adorn
the volume. The New Hyperion, “From Paris
to Marley by Way of the Rhine,” by Edward
Straham, with its 300 engravings by Doré and
others, is also valuable as well as delightful.
Patricia Kemball, just issued by Lippincott,
was spoken of by the London Athenaeum, as
“perhaps the ablest novel published in Lon-
don this year.” It is certainly an exception-
ally good romance ; the characters are life-like
and well drawn, the style lively and pointed,
and the ingeniously developed plot give it ad-
ditional interest with every chapter. What a
Boy / by Julia A. Willis, is a bright and sug-
gestive story of the career of Philip Frost,
whose life the author traces through
the pranks of boyhood and the mistakes
and misfortunes of manhood. Mrs. Emma
Seiler's work on The Voice in Singing, is
perhaps the best on the subject ever writ-
tem, and now we have from the same author a
treatise on The Voice in Speaking, to which is
added a paper by her son Dr. Carl Seiler on
the “Clergyman's Sore Throat.” The author
treats her subject with much vigor and inde-
pendence, asserting her objections to much
that is laid down in the books as delusive and
ridiculous. “While no one has ever dreamed,”
she says, “ of laying down fixed rules for the

expression of the emotions by looks and ges-
tures, or invented, for the understanding of
such rules, written characters, all works on
elecution undertake, what is just as impossi-
ble, to give numerous rules for the modulation
of the voice, often enough contradictory, and
to teach in what intervals the vojce is to be
modulated for this or that effect.”
The new books to be issued at an early day
by J. B. Lippincott & Co., are The Romance of
the English Stage, by Percy Fitzgerald ; Feam's
jor Democracy, an able treatise, written for
titoughtful readers by Charles Ingersoll; and a
new novel from “Ouida,” whose last, Pascarel,
was issued a year ago. The coming work is a
love story entitled Signa. During the month,
we shall also have a new edition of Dr. Lieber's
Political Ethics, which has been out of print
for some time; a story of the Ohio bills en-
titled Starting Out, by Alexander Clark, the
author of the Schoolday Dialogues ; and a memo-
rial volume of the Virginia Military Institute,
to contain sketches of the cadets from that
school who lost their lives in the late war.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have lately
issued Enterson Bennett's The Phantom of the
. Forest, it being the third of this author's works
which they have issued in neat cloth binding
and in paper covers. This house have recently
issued in connection with John Lovell of
Montreal, a review of Macauley’s Teaching
on the Relationship of Theology to the Science
of Government, as set forth in Lord Macau-
ley’s Essays, by Mr. John Harris, who writes
under the nom de plume of “ Kuklos;” and, by
the same author, a Lecture on Centrifugal
Force and Gravitation, with seven supplemen-
tary volumes, in which he sets forth in an
elaborate manner, the Newtonian Theory,
Kelper's Third Law, The Law of Equable
Areas, and the Theory of the Tides, and dis-
putes their correctness as at present taught,
with the purpose of ascertaining whether the
rules of the inductive system as laid down and
taught by Francis Bacon are still recognized.
The system of Bacon bases science upon facts,
and Mr. Harris contends that the above fun-
damental laws are not so based. The volumes
are elaborately illustrated by diagrams, and
deserve the attention of scholars, whether the
author be right or wrong. Mr. Harris also
claims, in another volume, to have solved the
problem, popularly known as squaring the cir-
cle. Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger will soon
publish Annette, a novel by Charlotte Wal-
singham ; and a book on Denmark, by G. W.
Griffin, U. S. Consul at Copenhagen, with the
title My Danish Days. -
The holiday books of Porter & Coates have
been in large demand. Their new edition of
The Stately Homes of England has been ex-
hausted, and the call for Stonehenge's Rural
Sports has far exceeded their expectations.
South Meadows has been selling well, and is
still a good book, which will claim attention
now that people are through with holiday.

officers of the government ; the army and
navy list; political and statistical information
relating to the states and territories; and a
business manual of New York and Philadel-
phia. Both books will be sold only by sub-
scription. -
John E. Potter & Co. have just added to
their bibles, one hundred engravings of the
cities, scenery, scenes and incidents of Bible
History, with descriptive text by Rev. John
H. Norris. Numbers 41 and 42 to the pro-

last volume of the American Historical Record,

Notwithstanding the general depression in
business during the past year, medical books
have been fairly successful and about the us-

8 THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
THE GUIDE FoR 1875.
IN making our New Year bow to our
subscribers, we wish to thank them for
the many kind words of approval and en-
couragement we have received from them
during the past year. We have eihieav-
ored to give them a journal at a tºiling
cost which should afford them assistance
in conducting their business. Our lists of
new publications and forthcoming books
have been very complete, and they have
been supplemented, in our letters from the
publishing centres, by information in re-
gard to the character of the books, which
no other publication has furnished, but
which every bookseller should have, to
make his business successful. To pub-
lishers we have afforded every facility to
reach the trade, and it is a pleasure to
know that our services have been appre-
ciated. For the future we have only to
say that we shall spare no effort to make
the GUIDE a valuable medium for publish-
ers' announcements, a faithful friend to
the bookseller, and an earnest promoter
of the interests of the American Book
Trade.

RIVERSIDE. PRESS, CAMBRIDGE, MASS.,

EDITOR OF AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS' GUIDE:
Lear sir—A paragraph has appeared in the Literary
World of Boston, and been copied or commented upon
in other papers, which contains a statement false as
regards facts, and of an injurious character. It con-
tains these words: “IEarnest negotiations were had
some months ago between its proprietors (i.e., of Old
and New) and Hurd & Houghton, who had just acquired
the Atlantic, and were rather eager to get rid of it,
looking to the mergence of that magazine in Old and
New ; but the friends of the latter opposed the project,
and it was abandoned.” Permit me to say that Messrs.
Hurd & Houghton were never anxious to get rid of the
Atlantic, and never made any advances or had any de-
sire to sell it to Old and New. On the contrary, the
only suggestion for a union came from the friends of
Old and New, but no negotiations, earnest or otherwise,
were ever had on the subject, and no interview ever
took place in relation to it. We are entirely satisfied
with the condition and prospects of the Atlantic, and
have no reason to seek union with any other.
Bespectfully yours,

Encouraged by the great success of his other
Dime Standard Books, Mr. Howard Challen,
the Philadelphia publisher, is about to issue
The Pilgrim’s Progress, in two parts, at ten
cents each. Next to the Bible, this work has
had the largest sale of any book in our lan-

within the reach of everybody.
George Willig, Sr., founder of the house of
George Willig & Co., music dealers of Baltimore,
died in that city December 10th, at the age
of 81. Mr. Willig went from Philadelphia to
Baltimore when a young man, and established
himself as a music publisher. He retired from
the firm about ten years ago, transferring the
business, which he had conducted for more than
half a century, to his son.
A. Williams & Co. are the American pub-
lishers of a volume of poems, entitled Legends
and Memories of Scotland, written by Cora
Kennedy Aitkin, an American lady, during a
few weeks' stay in Scotland. The quaint
legends have an interest in themselves, and
they are very gracefully told by the authoress,
who has the true poetic sympathy with na-.
ture. The picturesque Scotch dialect used
in the simpler poems adds much to their
effectiveness and beauty. The volume is em-
bellished with photographic illustrations of
castles and scenery. ſº
J. W. Schemerhorn & Co. have published

Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati, have just

It has been completed by Messrs. Hatch &

more fully than the preceding volume.
Under the title of Book-Keeping Simplified
Messrs. D. B. Waggener & Co., of Philadel-
phia, have issued a little 16mo, containing the

Every point is made clear in the fewest pos-
sible words, and but just enough forms are
introduced to illustrate the subject, which is
presented in a practical, business-like man-

that the most uninitiated in accounts can,
with a little study, acquire a knowledge of
book-keeping. Valuable rules and tables are

A History of Political Economy in Germany,

Victor Hugo has completed the second part
of his “ Quatre-vingt-treise,” and the first
volume is to be issued this month. It is en-
titled La Guerre Etrangere.
A manuscript work, written by order of
Charles the XII of Sweden, has lately been

giving an account of the Swedish military
operations. -
The Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, offers
three prizes respectively of $4,000, $2,400, and
$1,600, for the best works “concerning the
history of military operations on horseback,
the functions, attributes, growth, develop-
ment, and pnutations of the cavalry in all
ages and countries, and the general and par-
ticular theories and practices of cavalry op-
erations.” Foreigners are invited to com-
pete, and January 1, 1877, is the last day for
receiving the manuscripts.
The first volume of the new edition (the
ninth) of the Encyclopædia Britannica is to be
issued by Messrs. A. & C. Black, Edinburgh,
this month, and the second and third volumes
will follow during the year. The work will
comprise twenty-one volumes, based, of
course, on the former edition, but the work
is to be largely re-written, and more than
half of it will be new matter.
The London Standard says: “Dr. Living-
stone’s last journals have just made their ap-
pearance after a delay which, considering
their extent and the difficulty of deciphering
them, has been singularly short. Thanks to
his faithful attendants, there is reason to be-
lieve that not one line of the great traveler’s
writing has been lost, from the time of his
leaving Zanzibar, in the beginning of 1866,
to the day when his note-book dropped from
his dying" hand, in April of last year.” The
work includes the papers sent home after the
explorer's death, and those brought by Mr.
Stanley. The scientific observations are re-
served for another book.
The high value of certain book rarities is
shown by the following anecdote. Signor
Dura, a booksellér at Naples, put forth a
catalogue, in which was the following high-
ly tempting entry, under the head Vespucci:
“Lettera di Amerigo Vespucci delle isole
nuouamente troute in quattro Suoi viaggi,”
sixteen leaves, with woodcuts, supposed to
have been printed in the year 1516. The
price of this little work was put at 2,000 lire,
equal to 80l sterling—not too dear, say the
booksellers, considering that the only other
copy known is in the Granville Library, Brit-
ish Museum. Copies of this catalogue reach-
ed Paris on Sunday, the 29th ult, and on the
same day Signor Eura received asm any a
four telegrams from different persons in
Paris, signifying their desire to purchase the
work. On the next day, Monday, the cat-
alogues reached London, and then three dif-
ferent persons telegraphed their desire to
purchase, but, alas, too late. A Paris books
seller was the first in the field, and had se-
cured the prize–London Athenæum.

Magazine is at 41 Park Row, New York, the
Newburgh office having been closed.

Weighed in the Balance.”
The publication of Old and New has been
transferred from Roberts Brothers, who have
been its publishers for five years, to the house
of Lee & Shepard. The change is made solely
in the interest of the magazine, as the book
publications of Roberts Brothers claim their
exclusive attention, and they cannot furnish
to the magazine the facilities which the new
publishers can afford. In announcing the
change, the statement is made to the public
for the first time, that Old and Weno is the
property of a company chartered for the
sole purpose of publishing the magazine.

Among the latest issues of White, Smith &

Hattºn, with new Symphonies and Accom-
paniments, It is an excellent collection of the
best Social songs, both new and old, suitable
for the drawing-room. . Many of them, as the
editor says, excited the laughter of our grand-
fathers, while others are selected from the most
recent works of Offenbach and Lecocq. Among
the earlier composers are Blewitt and Hunne-
mann, and the tragedian Edmund Kean, who
has a place in the collection as the composer of
“Sweet Kitty Clover.”
A. Rºse Book
Mr. J. W. Thornton of Winthrop, Mass.,
has in his possession a very quaint and curious
book, written by William Wood, and pub-
lished in 1634, entitled: “New England's
Prospects, A true, lively and experimental
description of that part of America commonly
called New England; discovering the state of
that Countrie, both as it stands to our new come
English Planters; and to the old native Inha-
bitants. Laying downe that which may both
enrich the knowledge of the mind-travelling
Reader, or benefit the future Voyager.” In
Speaking of the climate, the writer remarks
“that it is observed by the Indians that
every tenth year there is little or no Winter,
which hath beene twice observed of the Eng-
lish ; the year of New Plimouth mens arrivall
was no Winter in comparison and in the tenth
years after likewise when the 'great company
settled themselves in Massachusetts Bay.”
After speaking of the healthfulness of the
climate, the nature of the soil and the products,
animals, birds, fishes, etc., he goes on to speak
of the “severall plantations in particuler.”
“Boston is two miles North-east from Roa-
berry; His situation is very pleasant, being a
peninsula hem’d in on the South-side with the
Bay of Rowberry, on the North-side with Charly-
river, the Marshes on the backe-side, being not
half a quarter of a mile over. Among other
scraps of information is the fact that to the
north-west is “a high mountaine with three
little rising Hils on the top of it, wherefore it
is called the Tramount.” “This Towne,” we
are told, “although it is neither the greatest
nor the richest is the most noted and fre-
quented, being the centre of the Plantations
where the monthly courts are kept.”

LIs T of
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. Iſ the following fules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to Supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear, in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d,—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.—The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needod, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.-Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.—We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all new publications to sur dealers, whless
they order ws not to do so. . We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express; to others we mail bills once a week. 11th.-News-
dealers pay the Postage on their Packages of Newspapers and Periodicals as received, at the same rate of postage as if
paid quarterly in advance. -

NEWSPAPERS, at the rate of Forty Cents per 104. BOUND BOOKS, One Cent for every Two Ounces.
MAGAZINES, One Cent for every Four Ounces. PAPER COVERED NOVELS, do. do.
To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form : -

THE Book MARKET,
NEw York, February 1, 1875.
The prospects of the book trade for 1875, as
indicated by the business of the first month,
are very fair. There is a very general feeling
that more books were published in 1874 than
the market could afford to carry, and a general
wish that fewer volumes should be printed
this year, but the January issues do not indi-
cate any falling off in numbers Although it is
always safe as a rule to publish a good book,
until human judgment becomes infallible,
there will always be issued works which fail
to bring profit to the publisher, because they
fail to satisfy the public's tastes and demands.
Judgment and foresight can never be so perfect
as to preclude the possibility of mistakes, but
there is abundant room for improvement in
those qualities, and a little more care in the
selection of books to be printed will remove
many of the risks of publishing, and relieve
the retail trade of a portion, at least, of their
burden of dead stock. The vitality of our
book trade is shown by the fact that, although
last year was one of general depression here,
there were more books published than in 1873,
while in Great Britain there was a marked de-
crease in the number of publications. With no
foreign market, we published during the year
ending Dec. 1, 1874, according to the report of
the Librarian of Congress, 3,424 new books,
while the number issued in Great Britan during
1874 was but 3,351. With this home production
and our large importation, it is not strange
that our market is overloaded, and it is worthy
of serious consideration by our publishers
whether they should not curtail the produc-
tion of books, especially at this time, when
there is a general falling off in the production
of all manufactures for our domestic market.
It may be that the number of books issued
during the past month is no indication of their
rate of issue during the year, for the late publi-
cations include some works which have been
held in hand for some time, and also a number
of important reprints from English works, for
which there was a special demand here.
D. Appleton & Co, have published a complete
edition of The Greville Memoirs ; a revised edi-
tion of Tyndall's Belfast Address, with an ap-
pended article on Scientific Materialism, and a
Second preface replying to his critics; the first
volume of Martin's Life of His Royal Highness,
The Prince Concert ; part first of Herbert,
Spencer's Principles of Sociology; and a novel
from Mrs. Catharine Macquoid, with the title
My Story. The sensation created in England
by the Greville Memoirs created quite a de.
mand for them here, and the imported copies
of the English three-volume edition sold at
eighteen dollars, The Scribners have con-
densed and issued it in the Bric-a-Brac seſſies
at a dollar and a half, but the demand for the
complete work has warranted its issue here,
and the Appletons have given us a good edi-
tion in two volumes, at a comparatively low
priſe. The character of the work is now well
known. It is not without an historical inter-
est, but it deals mainly with the Court scaudal
and gossip in the times of George IV. and
William IV., and will be generally read for the
glimpses it gives of the private life of royalty,
Mr. Reeves, the editor, tells us that the Un-
printed portion of the memoirs is still more
interesting, but it is withheld for the present,
as it relates to so, many persons now living.
The life of Prince Albert, says the Athenaeum :
“May be regarded as almost an autobiography
of the Queen herself; and when it is complete
it will probably present a more minute history
of the domestic life of a Queen and her “mas.
ter' (the term is Her Majesty’s) than has ever
before appeared.” The work has been received
with great favor in England, and will be widely
read here.
My Story is a novel of much merit, full of life
and animation, yet with the delicate delinea.
tions of character which are so pleasing in the
author's former book, Patty. Appleton & Co.
have also published A Compendium of Chil-
dren’s Diseases, by Dr. Johann Steiner, of the
University of Prague, translated from the
3O
THE Zi MERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ (2 TVIDE.
second German edition; and a new edition of
Uhlmann’s Syriac Grammar, with eighty
pages of additions, and corrections. Of the
books announced for immediate publication
the most important are the third part of
'Herbert Spencer's Descriptive Sociology, and a
volume from Professor Oscar Schmidt on the
Descent of Man, and Darwinism, which will be
the first German work in the International
Scientific Series.
. From Harper & Brothers we have had two
important books: Dr. Livingstone's Last Journ-
als and Rev. Lyman Abbott’s Dictionary of
Religious Knowledge. The former is one of the
most remarkable records of travel in existence.
The story of the preservation of the Journals
is one to excite wonder. It will be remembered
that when Mr. Stanley returned from his ex-
pedition, he brought with him a sealed journal
containing entries up to March 14, 1872, the
day Mr. Stanley parted with the famous ex-
plorer. This journal was not opened until the
fact of his death was established beyond a
doubt. The present volume includes not only
the matter of this journal, but is supplemented
by his papers, which were carefully preserved
by his faithful servants Chuma and Susi, and
brought with his body to Zanzibar. So that
we have a complete record of his travels during
the entire seven years of his stay in Africa.
As a book of travel it is more interesting than
the most imaginative romance, but it has a
much higher value as a record of scientific re-
search. The Dictionary of Religious Knowledge
is a bulky volume, with many maps and illus-
tratföns, and containing a mass of information
on the Bible and religious subjects, which has
never before been collected in a single volume.
The author, Rev. Lyman Abbott, assisted by
the venerable Dr. Conant, has been engaged on
it for years, and the result is a most valuable
compendium of ecclesiastical knowledge.
The Harpers have also published Dickens's
A Tale of Two Cities in their Household edi-
tion ; a new volume in their Library edition of
Wilkie Collins, containing After Dark, and
Other Stories ; the Bazar Book of the Household,
a little 16mo. uniform with the other Bazar
Books; and a story of the Australian mines,
from Farjeon, entitled, At the Sign of the Silver
Flagon. This author's previous works have
been much appreciated here, and this will pro-
bably be ranked as one of his best. Australia
is a new field for the novelist, and At the Sign
of the Silver Flagon is all the more pleasing.
During this month the Harpers promise two
more notable books of travel—the one, Ten
Years of Travel and Residence in Indo-China
and China, by J. Thompson, the other on Our
Weat Door Neighbor, being recent sketches of
Mexico by Dr. Gilbert Haven. Both are to be
illustrated, the former by the author's own
sketches and photographs. This house will
also publish immediately a religious volume,
Discowºrses on Christ and Humanity, by Henry
M. Goodwin; The Maid of Killeena, and other
Stories, by William Black; and other novels
__- - - - - - - ---------- - - - - - - - - - - - - -------- - -
from Frank Lee Benedict, Miss Braddon, George
A. Lawrence, Eliza Tabor, and Wilkie Collins.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have issued a little
work, translated from F. Feiber, on The Treat-
ment of Nervous Diseases with Flectricity; Cho-
met’s Influence of Music on Health and Life,
translated by Mus, Laura A. Flint ; Religion as
Affected by Modern Materialism, by the profound
thinker and able writer, James Martineau; and
a work on Teaching, Its Ends and Means, by
Professor Calderwood of the University of
Edingburgh. Chomet presents his views with
all the earnestness and vigor of the enthusiast,
and although there are many things in his
book with which the ordinary reader will dis-
agree, there is much in it that is peculiarly in-
teresting and suggestive. His views on the
theory of sound are original and novel, and the
volume is altogether an enjoyable one. The
little volume by the venerable scholar Dr.
James Martineau, comprises his annual ad-
dress, delivered last autumn at Manchester
New College, London. It is remarkably clear
and vigorous, and one of the strongest replies
to the materialists that have been made. It
has an eloquent introduction by Dr. Bel-
lows, who says no writer in this generation
has done such service to religion as Mr. Mar-
tineau. Professor Calderwood is a teacher of
mnay years experience, and his views on the
instruction of children at school and at home,
as given in this work on Teaching, are worthy
of thoughtful perusal by teachers and parents.
The chapter on the Formation of Character is
able and explicit, and full of wise suggestions.
The first volume of the series of Brief
Biographies projected by the Putnams will
soon be issued. It will probably be English
Statesmen, by Colonel Higginson, and will in
clude Sketches of a dozen or more leading
statesmen of England. Another volume, to be
written bye Colonel R. J. Hinton, will be de-
voted to English Radicals, and another to
the Revolutionists of Italy. The latter is to
be written by W. J. Linton, who was an inti-
mate friend of Mazzini, and is well qualified
for the work.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have published,
beside the Greville Memoirs, as condensed by
Mr. Stoddard for the dainty Bric-a-Brac series,
Mr. George Smith’s Assyriam Discoveries, being
an account of the author’s exploration and re-
searches during the past two years on the site
of Nineveh. This is a record of most important
discoveries, in which all Christendom have had
an interest. This house has also published
Wedding Garments, by Miss Mary W. McLain,
the story of the trials of a young girl in her
struggles for a better life. Mr. Stoddard has
used excellent judgment in condensing the
somewhat voluminous Gréville Memoirs, elimi-
nating nothing that is likely to interest the
general reader on this side of the Atlantic,
‘and the little Bric-a-Brac volume will be gene-
rally preferred to the complete edition, both
on account of its cheapness and because the
dull passages are stricken out.

Goethe's , a new edition of Milton, with a
scholarly introduction by the editor, Professor
Masson; a new volume in the series of Mac-
millan's popular novels, entitled, For the King's

–sº-Q-U- -
BosTON, Feb. 1, 1875.
“But few books, and those only of the best,”
seems to be the motto of our publishers, and
while there may be a difference of opinion as
to what constitutes a good book, there can be
none regarding the desirability of limiting the
number.
Roberts Brothers have published, in con-
junction with Longmans & Co., London, the
fifth edition of the anonymous work on
Supernatural Religion, which has attracted so
much attention in England. It is one of the
ablest arguments that have been put forth on
the side of science as against religion, and its
authorship has been ascribed successively to
half a dozen leading scholars, but as yet it re-
mains a profound secret, . Some of the ablest
Scholars upon the other side have taken the
work in hand, and we may expect numerous
and extended replies to it. The only other
- book issued by this house during the month is
A Rambling Story, by Mary Cowden Clarke, a
gracefully written love romance, with artistic
sketches of character. Announced for early
publication, by Roberts Brothers, are Earl
Russell’s Recollections and Suggestions of Public
Life from 1813 to 1873; a Life of Rev. Ezra
Styles Gannett, by his son, Rev. W. C. Gannett;
and Our Sketching Club, by R. St. John Tyr-
whitt. The latter has run through the pages
of Old and New, and is a conversational story,
illustrating the principles of sketching. Mr.
Tyrwhitt is best known here as the author of
Christian Art and Symbolism, and his new work
will find many appreciative readers. It is to
be liberally illustrated by plates from Ruskin.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton's long-delayed story
of boy life and adventure, with the title Harry
Blount, will probably be ready this month ;
also Sir Arthur Helps's Social Pressure. This
last work is a continuation of the “Friends in
Council "Series. The friends are staying at
the house of one of their number. Each one
writes an essay on a prominent social question,
and the others criticise, while the author de-
fends it. By this conversational method all
sides of the question are presented to the
reader, and, although he is often left in inde-
cision, so far as these arguments go, they serve
as a guide to thought, and are not so tiresome
as though they were all on one side. The
book is ably written, containing much thought
that is new to most American readers, and
giving the oft-discussed theories of social re-
form a new interest.
Lee & Shepard’s list of new books includes a
new volume of Mr. Baker's Reading Club; a
volume of Sermons on Eternal Punishment,
by Rev. L. T. Townsend; a collection of Essays,
by Harvey Rice; The Island of Fire, or a
Thousand Years of the Old Northmen’s Home,
a work on Iceland, by Rev. P. C. Headley ; and
a little work on Fret-Sawing and Wood-Cºtro-
Žng—written, very appropriately, by George A.
Sawyer. Mr. Townsend's book bears the title
Iost Forever. It includes nine essays, all
able and vigorous, and at times eloquent and
brilliant. The author acknowledges that the
doctrine of eternal punishment is not a popu-
lar one, but holds that it is no less his duty to
preach it. The character of Mr. Rice's essays
are indicated by the title of the volume,
Nature and Culture. Among the subjects
treated are Woman and Her Sphere, America
and Her Future, and Life and its Aspirations.
They are well written, and give evidence of
careful thought and study. Frêt-Sawang and
Wood-Carving is a work suggested by the
popularity won by the author's papers on the
subject last year in St. Nicholas. It is written
with all the enthusiasm of an amateur and all
the ability of a professional workman. It
treats of the necessary tools, how to keep
them, use them, and sharpen them ; the kinds
of woods to be used, and other details, and is
illustrated with cuts of tools, work, etc.
Lee & Shepard have nearly ready for issue
Colonel T. W. Higginson's Young Folks' His-
tory of the United States ; Songs of Joy, a col-
lection of devotional songs, made by J. H.
Tenney; a novel by Mrs. Katherine Sedgwick
Washburn, entitled Perfect Love Casteth out
Fear ; and a story of secret service adventures,
entitled Running the Blockade, by W. H.
Thomes. Mr. Higginson's Young Folk's His-
tory is an excellent work of the kind. It is a
12mo volume of nearly four hundred pages,
very attractive in appearance, and profusely
illustrated with neat woodcuts. Only such
names and dates are given as are necessary to
the narrative, and the ineidents and details
dwelt upon are those which are not only cal-
culated to engage the attention of the youth-
ful reader, but to leave lasting impressions on
his mind which will form a permanent basis
for future reading. Songs of Joy is a collection
of tunes, new and old, suitable for the prayer-
meeting and for social worship. It is in handy
12mo form, and will meet a general want. Of
Lee & Shepard’s other forthcoming books but
little can at present be said. Mr. W. S. Rob-
inson, better known, perhaps, as “Warring-
ton,” is preparing a Manual on Parliamentary
Law, which they will publish, and they have
also in preparation a Cook-Book, by Mrs. Mil-
ler, a daughter of Gerrit Smith. The Lover,
and Other Miscellamäes is still delayed on ac-
count of the continued illness of the editor,
Mr. Babson.
J. R. Osgood & Co. have published the fifth

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
volume of Little Classics, which is entitled
Laughter. The principal papers are Dickens's
“Christmas Carol,” Lamb’s “Dissertation on
Roast Pig,” E. E. Hale's “The Skeleton in the
Closet,” Holmes’s “A Visit to the Asylum for
Aged and Decayed Punsters,” Carleton’s “Neal
Malone,” and Gerald Griffin’s “Mr. Tibbot
O'Leary the Curious.” The next volume will
be Love, and will contain Bulwer’s “The Maid
of Malines,” “Love and Skates,” by Theodore
Winthrop, “The Rise of Iskander,” by Disraeli,
and the Biblical “Story of Ruth.”
The other works forthcoming from Osgood
& Co. are Other People's Money, a new novel in
their octavo series, by Emile Gaboriau; The
Passionate Pilgrim, and other Stories, by Henry
James, Jr.; and a little volume of plays, cha-
rades, social games, etc., prepared by G. B.
Bartlett, and entitled Parlor Amusements. A
new and cheaper edition of The Hanging of the
Cramé is just ready, and a second volume of
Lewes's Problems of Life and Mind is in prep-
aration. -
Wm. F. Gill & Co. will have ready in a few
days The IRainbow Creed, a novel by a mem-
ber of the Boston Radical Club, aimed against
the orthodox theological theories. It is very
cleverly written, and is a good story, even if
the reader should miss the obvious design of the
writer. Among the characters are Mr. Beech-
er, Mr. Murray, and other divines, with other
names, of course, but easily to be recognized
Belót's Woman of Fire, to be issued here short-
ly, has been very popular in France. It is ex-
cessively French, written in a lively style,
which has been excellently preserved by the
translator, Mr. Furbish. Wilkie Collins's
Alicia Warlock, announced for publication this
month, is based on The Dream- Woman pub-
lished years ago in Household Words. The
present version, Mr. Collins says in his preface,
has been rewritten, has a new beginning and
a new ending, and so many new incidents that
the character of the story is entirely changed,
and it is altogether a new novel.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1, 1875.
The business of the new year opens very
slowly, and there is but little encouragement to
make new books. It is the dull season for our
School-book houses, and also for the law book
and medical book-makers. The subscription
book business, which is getting to be quite an
important interest here, is showing a little
more activity, but very few miscellaneous
books are being made for the trade.
From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have, in the
illustrated standard edition of Dickens' work,
American Notes and Pictures from Italy in one
volume ; the fourth volume of the Memoirs of
John Quincy Adams , a new revised edition of
Dr. Francis Lieber’s Political Ethics, a new
cook book, which is funnily announced as the
Presbyterian Cook-Book, which is as good a title,
perhaps, as any other; a novel by Florence
Burckett. entitled Wildmoor ; and The Apoca-
-8
lypse Revealed, from the Ilatin of Emanuel
Swedenborg. The translation is made by the
Rev. T. B. Hayward, revised by the Rev. John
Worcester, and the work is the first of a new
edition of Swedenborg's works to be issued by
the direction of the Swedenborgian Board of
Publication, for which is appropriated a portion
of the fund left them by the late Mrs. L.S. Rotch.
Hence, this will be known as “The Rotch Edi-
tion ” “Ouida’s ” new novel Signa is pro-
mised this month ; also Charles Ingersoll's
Fears for Democracy, which is likely to attract
Some attention ; and two German romances,
The Green Gate, from Ernst Wichert; and
Lichtenstein, from Wilhelm Hauff.
Porter & Coates have been giving their at-
tention to the solid literature of science, and
their only work for the month is A New
Treatise on Elements of Mechanics, establishing
strict precision in the meaning of dynamical
terms, accompanied with an appendix on
Duodecimal Arithmetic and Metrology, by
John W. Nystrom, C. E. They also announce
Social Science and National Economy, by Robt.
Ellis Thompson, Professor in the University
of Pennsylvania, designed as a hand-book for
the general reader and a text-book for colleges
and the higher schools; and an Elementary
Philosophy, “being the science of reasoning,
and the art of correct reasoning according to
Science; or, logic critically treated and ap-
plied,” by James M. Wilcox, Ph.D. A work
on Storms and Changes of the Weather is also
in preparation. It is written by Professor
Blasius, who has for many years made the
weather a subject of study, making investiga-
tions and gathering material, and the work
promises to be an important addition to Me-
teorology. -
Of works of greater interest to the general
reader, we are to have from Porter & Coates,
Days Near Rome, by Augustus J. C. Hare. It
is to be a companion volume to the same
author’s Walks in Rome, and to contain de-
scriptive sketches of interesting places in the
vicinity of Rome, illustrated by the drawings .
of the author. This will be followed by The
Better Self, by J. H. Friswell. It is written in
the author's most pleasing vein, and may
have a popularity as great as that of the
author's former work, The Gentle Life, which
has reached its eighteenth edition. w
Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers have com-
menced the new year with all their old time
activity. During January they have published
The Clandestime Marriage, a readable novel, by
Miss Eliza A. Dupuy; How He Wom Her, a
fascinating romance from the prolific pen of
Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, making the third
volume of Peterson’s new and complete edition
of the writings of this favorite authoress; an
illustrated edition of The Mohicans of Paris, by
Alexander Dumas; and The Bride of Lammer
moor, by Sir Walter Scott, which forms the
third volume of Peterson’s new and cheap edi-
tion of the Waverly novels. During the com-
ing month Peterson & Brothers will issue The
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
33
Discarded Wife, by Miss Eliza A. Dupuy, which
is said to be a story of rare power, written in
the best style of the authoress, who is fast
winning a foremost place among the lady nov-
elists of the day; The Fortune Seeker; or, The
JBridal Day, by Mrs. Southworth, being the
fourth volume of the new edition ; and Isabella
Vincent ; or; The Two Orphans, by George W.
M. Reynolds. The last is a story of English
life, replete with the dark mysteries, shrewd
plotting, and unexpected denouements in which
the author of The Mysteries of The Court of
Iondon delights to deal. Vivian Bertram ;
or, A Wife's Honor, which is also announced
for early publication, is a sequel to The Two
Orphans, and of equal interest. The next
volume of the Waverly Novels will be Guy
Mannering. These volumes are so surprising-
ly cheap that no one need be deprived of the
pleasure of reading them on account- of their
cost. Each is a complete story, and retails for
twenty-five cents.
pertUARY,
CELARI, ES SPRAGUE.
Mr. Charles Sprague, who years ago used to
be referred to as the banker, poet, recently
died in his native city, Boston, at the -age of
eighty-three. He received a common-school
education in Boston, and entered a mercantile
house at an early life. In 1820 he became
teller in the State Bank, and five years later
was appointed cashier of the Globe, which po-
sition he held until 1865. Several editions of
his collected poems have been published, and
a complete edition of his works, in prose and
verse, was issued in 1850. His poems are
many of them familiar to American readers,
being found in almost every collection of
American poetry. His “Ode to Shakespeare,”
delivered at the opening of the Boston Theatre
in 1823, is probably one of his ablest efforts;
but his less pretentious poems of home life
and love are more widely known and justly
appreciated. Mr. Edwin Whipple said, in
The Worth American Review, that his prologues
were the best which had been written since the
time of Pope. The same reviewer pronounced
“The Brothers,” “The Family Meeting,” and
“I See Thee Still,” the finest consecration of
natural affection in our literature,
MA UN SELL BIRADHUIRST FIELD.
Mr. Maunsell B. Field died in this city on
the 24th ult. He was born in New York in
1822, graduated at Yale in 1841, and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1847. He practiced his
profession for a time in connection with Mr.
John Jay, was secretary of the American Le-
gation in France under Minister Mason, and
was attached to the Spanish Legation under
Mr. Soulé. He was also President of the
American Commission at the Paris Exposition.
In 1861 he was appointed Deputy Sub-Treas-
urer of the United States, and some years after
- -º-º-º-º-º-º-
was appointed a collector of internal revenue.
Two years ago he was, by Governor Dix, ap-
pointed Judge of the Second District Court of
this city, and he held the position at the time
of his death. Although he has filled so many
important offices, he was in general a man of
leisure. Wealthy, accomplished, and well-
read, with a creditable taste for literature, he
achieved quite a reputation as a writer. In
connection with G. P. R. James, the prolific
novelist, he wrote Adrian ; or, The Clouds of
the Mind, which was published in 1852. His
magazine papers have been much admired,
and his book published last year with the title
Memories of Many Men and of Some Women, is
still fresh in the minds of our readers as a re-
markably entertaining volume. It gave him
more prominence as a writer than anything
he had previously done. -
CEIA RI, ES KINGSLEY.
The many ardent admirers of the writings
of Canon Kingsley will regret to learn of his
death, which occurred in London, January
25th. His life and works require a much
more extended notice than we can give them
here, and abler hands will do full justice to
them. He was borne at Holne, Devonshire,
England, and at the time of his death was
nearly fifty-six years of age. His early educa-
tion was received at home, and he afterwards
disting dished himself at Magdalen College,
Cambridge, by taking a scholarship and sev-
eral prizes. He studied law, but, before com-
pleting his reading, changed his mind and
took orders. He was an industrious writer,
and his works include, besides his sermons
and lectures, which fill several volumes,
poems, tales for children, and novels. His
first poetic work was a story entitled “The
Saint’s Tragedy,” published in 1848, and al-
though it displayed great talent, and was
warmly received, his novel Alton Locke, issued
two years later, eclipsed it, and made his repu-
tation on both sides of the Atlantic. It was
followed by Yeast: A Problem, in 1851 ; and by
Hypatia, in 1853. These three works would
have have brought him fame as a novelist, but
the pen seemed to afford him pleasure, and his
literary productions fill many volumes. It is
useless to say a word of praise for his works.
They are universally known and admired.
His essays are scarcely less enjoyable than his
novels, and his “Charm of Birds '' is perhaps
the finest prose composition in the language.
Robert Carter & Brothers announce Alice
Neville, by Bowen.
Strickland & Co, Milwaukee, Wis., are about
to start a circulating library. See their ad-
vertisement in column of “Books Wanted.”
Miss Eliza A. Dupuy’s novel, The Clandestine
Marriage, published by T. B. Peterson & Bros.,
was by mistake announced in the last number
of the GUIDE as a new edition. It is an en-
tirely new book, never having been published
before.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
THE News TRADE AND SUBscRIPTIONs.
ONE of the abuses in the book trade, of
which we have recently heard much com-
plaint from retailers, is the publishers'
practice of sending their books to retail
buyers by mail, prepaying postage. It is
claimed, and very properly, that the retail
bookseller is not only a promoter of intel-
ligence, but that he is a most efficient
worker for the publisher, constantly dis-
playing and advertising his books, and
Soliciting new readers. Therefore, on the
broad grounds of public welfare, and as a
safe principle of trade directly affect-
ing the individual publisher, the retailer
should be supported and encouraged, and
the publisher should not enter into com-
petition with him. |
This argument has been presented again
and again, and the justice of the claims of
the bookseller is very generally con-
ceded. The only reply which has been
made by the publishers is that, as they
ask the full retail price, they do nºt tempt
the buyer to risk his money in the mails.
Therefore, it is to be presumed that if a
bookstore is accessible, and the bookseller
has the particular book wanted, he will
get the order; and finally, that their mail
business is so small that its effects on the
trade are not perceptible.
Now, we are constantly receiving com-
plaints from the news and periodical
trade, of a competition that is still more
unfair, and is fraught with greater danger
to the interests alike of the publisher and
the retailer. As a disseminator of intel-
ligence, the newsdealer is closely allied
to the bookseller, and is perhaps entitled
to greater consideration, for he reaches a
larger class, and generally the class that
are in greatest need of educational influ-
ences. As the active and successful agent
of the publisher, he is certainly deserving
of support and encouragement. He has
made and Sustains the immense circula-
tions of which some of our periodicals
boast, and, as a rule, no periodical can
hope to obtain a general circulation with-
out his co-operation. For a trifling profit,
he relieves the publisher from all the care
and risks of delivering, he displays the
periodicals and the show-bills, and searches
the highways and the by ways for new
subscribers. There is nothing else of
general consumption that is advertised
with so little cost to the maker as news-
papers and periodicals—all through the
energy and enterprise of the newsdealer.
And what is asked in return for this im-
portant service 3 Only that the publisher
shall not undersell him. He is not afraid
of competition on even terms. He only
complains when the publisher uses his
advantage as publisher, and, after induc-
ing the dealer to advertise his wares and
solicit trade, steps in and offers the goods
at prices with which he cannot compete.
The newsdealer induces the buyer to
take a copy of a newspaper or periodical,
not for the profit on that single number,
but with the expectation of making him a
constant buyer. But the very first num-
ber contains an offer to the buyer from
the publisher to supply him direct by mail
at a large discount, frequently at a lower
price than the newsdealer is compelled
to pay. Sometimes even greater induce-
ments are offered in the shape of prem-
iums. This is not only an unsafe principle
of trade, it is downright injustice to the
retailer, often taking from him the legiti-
mate profits of a trade which he himself
has created.
Much might be said against the policy
of receiving subscriptions at less than re-
tail prices, on the ground of the injury
which it does to the publication itself; but
for the present we simply protest against
it on behalf of the trade. It is useless for
publishers to say that subscriptions ale
continued for the accommodation of those
whom the dealer cannot reach, for then
the discount would not be necessary. Nei-
ther is it a fair answer that, a periodical
being established, the newsdealer has but
to supply a demand already created. We
insist that the thousands of newsdealers
scattered all over the country have largely
created that demand, and created it not
only to the benefit of the publishers, but
at their solicitation. Yet the newsdealer
finds himself everywhere, even in our
largest cities, in competition with the pub-
lisher, who offers his publication to the
reader at a better discount than he will
give to the dealer, supplements it with
a premium provided out of the profits the
dealer has helped him to accumulate, and,
not content with this, often enters into
mutual arrangements with other publish-
ers, and offers their publications with dis-
counts, or premiums, or both.
With most periodicals, subscriptions
have ceased to be a source of profit. They
entail care and expense, and they discour-
age the newsdealer, who cau, now reach
every nook and corner of the country.
The system of supplying the reader direct
from the office is one of the past, and the
growth of the news business has long since
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
35
done away with the necessity for it. The
recent changes in the postal laws has in-
creased the injustice of the practice, for,
while the newsdealer must still pay his
postage, on most periodicals it is prepaid
by the publishers, and the subscriber gets
his paper or magazine so much the cheaper.
The time has come when the interests of
the publisher and the trade require that
the system should be discontinued alto-
gether, or at least so modified that where-
ever there is a local population large
enough to support a newsdealer, the work
of distribution should be left entirely to
him. This can only be done by making
the subscription prices as high as the re-
tail prices which the dealer is expected
to ask.

Not long ago, the world was informed that
a Free Public Library at Leamington, England

table a lecture by Rev. Dr. G. B. Porteous on
Emanuel Swedenborg as a Philosopher, Meta-
physician and Theologian, published as one of
the “New Church Tracts” by E. Hazzard
Swinney. The publisher says in a preface :-
“The following lecture was delivered more
than twelve years ago, and the present issue is
a third edition. It has been carefully revised

the Church of England, and Rector of All
Souls' Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, New York,

borg's writings. It ought to be added, that a
very large number of the clergy of the Broad
Church School in the English Church are in
earnest sympathy with the views and theolo-
gy of the great Swede ’’

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.

Mr. F. B. Patterson, New York, proposes
to publish a pictorial history of Old New
York, which will consist of a series of maps
arranged in chronological order.
A. D. F. Randolph & Co. are to publish
Dean Alford's Fºreside Homilies, which a friend
of his said were more like autobiography than
anything else he had left in prose.
We regret to hear of the death of William
S. Scovell, the bookseller and newsdealer, of
Lockport, N. Y. He was well known and
much respected by the citizens of Niagara
County, and his loss is keenly felt by a large
circle of personal friends.
That humorous Scottish novel Generalship,
or How I Mamaged my Husband, by George
Roy, has been reprinted from the twenty-fifth
Scotch edition, by Robert Clarke & Co. It
has won the highest praises in Scotland, and
will be heartily appreciated by American read-

D. Lothrop & Co., Boston, have published
Trophies of Song; a collection of articles on
sacred music and incidents connected with
popular hymns. The volume is edited by
Rev. W. F. Crafts, and has an introduction by
D. E. Tourjée, of the Boston Conservatory of
Music.
Mrs. Emma D. E. N. Southworth has just
finished writing an entire new story, to which
she has given the name of The Spectre Lover,
and has placed it in the hands of her publish-
ers T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia.
They will issue it at once in uniform style
with all of the previous works of this author
issued by them.
Prof. Adams's Democracy and Monarchy in
France, has had a thorough revision and a
second edition is published. It is seldom that
an author’s first work is received with such
great and general approval among those whose
approval is conclusive, and the call for a
second edition is an encouraging indication re-
garding the popular taste.
The New York Book Concern publish a lit-
tle pamphlet on The Art of Book Canvassing,
which of course is intended for canvassers,
but contains many good hints for booksellers
generally. The author, who is an old pub-
lisher of subscription books, says “they are
sold principally among that class who seldom
or never enter a book-store, and who if not
sought out and urged to subscribe” would not
buy books at all,
At the date of the Librarian's last report,
Dec. 1, 1874, the National Library at Wash-
ington contained 274,157 volumes and 53,000
pamphlets. The receipts under the Copy-
right Law, which requires that two copies of
every American publication shall be deposited
in the library, were 6,840 copies of books and
6,436 periodicals. The total number of single
copies of books received was 3,424, which is
the number of American books published
during the year. Mr. Spofford predicts that
in twenty years the library will comprise half
a million volumes.
An exceptionally good and very prettily il-
lustrated little book, by A. L. O. E., is pub-
lished by the Carters, entitled Fairy Frisket,
or Peeps at Insect Life. Two little boys, the
one selfish, the other generous, by the aid of
fairies are enabled to explore the homes of the
ants and the butterflies, and in a most capti-
vating way the author excites curiosity and
conveys that information most likely to please
children.
The late Judge Walker, of Ohio, had before
his death completed his work on the New Di-
gest of Ohio Decisions, and it will be published
at once in two octavo volumes, by Robert
Clarke & Co. This is an important and valua-
ble work, as it embraces the cases contained in
more than one hundred volumes. The work is
going through the press under the supervision
of Mr. Bates, who was associated with Judge
Walker in its preparation.
A New York daily recently called attention
to the fact of the large number of authors
practicing law in New York City. The com-
ments then made induced Mr. J. R. McDivitt
to prepare, and McDivitt, Campbell & Co. have
published a list of the Living Authors at the
New York Bar, and a catalogue of the books
they have written and edited. The list in-
cludes the names of sixty-five authors, includ-
ing seven judges and nine ex-judges.
R. Worthington & Co. have just completed
the fitting-up of their new store in this city,
which they opened with part of their Boston
stock, just before the holidays. Since then,
theworkmen have been busy, and the result is
most satisfactory, the store being now ready
for the reception of their entire stock. The
brilliant array of elegantly-bound books pre-
sents a very attractive appearance, and as
Worthington & Co. import the most popular
and best editions of modern English books,
the contents are worthy of their dress.

for EIGN J.ITERARY Notes.
Macmillan & Co. announce the Reminis-
cences and Diary of Macready the actor.

phlet of 200 pages in reply to Mr. Gladstone.

A noteworthy book of travels in India, by
M. Louis Rousselet, is announced by Hachette
& Co., Paris, said to be the most important
work on India ever issued from the French
press. It deals in a most thorough manner
with the institutions of British India, its arts
and architecture, the manners and customs of
the people, etc., and is to be illustrated by
maps and over three hundred wood engrav-
lings.

Michel Levy, Paris, has just published a
series of able essays on the religion, history,
and philosophy of Egypt, India, China, and
other Eastern countries, by M. Léon Carré.
It is entitled L’Amcien Orient. -
A new work by Darwin will be published
this season in London. It is on Insectivorous
and Climbing Plants, and will consist of two
parts, the first of which will be devoted to a
discussion of the sensitiveness of the leaves of
Drosera, Dionaba, Pinguicula, etc., to certain
stimulants, and of their power of digesting
and absorbing animal matter ; the second to
the habits and movements of climbing plants.
The London Publishers' Circular states that
in the year 1874 there were published in Great
Britain 3,351 new books, 961 new editions of
older books, and 291 importations from Amer-
iča, making a total of 4,603, or 388 less than in
the preceding year. This falling off may be
accounted for by the increase in the cost of
production. There is a decline of nearly 150
in theological books, but an increase in the
number of scientific works and in the books
classed under the title “ Essays, Belles Let-
tres, &c.” The publications of the year are
divided into fourteen classes. There are 664
theological works, 478 of them being new
books, and not new editions nor American
importations. Of educational, classical, and
philological works the numbers are 365 in all,
301 being new books; of juvenile works the
two numbers are 229 and 207; novels, 825 and
516; law, 124 and 71; on politics and trade,
138 and 101; arts, science, and illustrated
works, 623 and 421; travels and geographical
research, 244 and 178; history, biography,
&c., 393 and 265; poetry and the drama, 305
and 223; year-books and serials in volumes,
249 and 243; medicine, 135 and 95; belles
lettres, essays, monographs, &c., 211 and 159;
miscellaneous, including pamphlets, but not
Sermons, 103 and 93. Of the 3,351 new books,
133 were published in January, 225 in Febru-
ary, 310 in March,204 in April, 370 in May, 238
in June, 234 in July,207 in August, 185 in Sep-
tember, 284 in October, 369 in November, 591
in December.

The Stationery MARKET,
Business has been light during the month, and conflned mostly to local trade. The inclement weather throughout .
the West has undoubtedly injuriously affected business. Dealers are hopeful, and busy making preparations for a
good spring trade.
The demand for valentines has been excellent, and business in these goods has received an impetus by the introduc-
tion of a number of new styles, which surpass in uniqueness and elegance anything heretofore in the market.

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the ſollowing rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence ; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th —The Wholesale Prices are not. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.-Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.—We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order w8 not to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, atmless
they order ws not to do so. We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.-Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers freo upon application. 9th.-Letters, with ſull signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.-We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express ; to others we mail bills once a week. -

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASEI capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in .
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form :

THE OLDEST BAPTIST PAPER IN
THE COUNTRY.
——ss sº ſº---—
First issued in 1819, the Watchman and
Reflector entered on its 56th volume with the
opening of the new year. An eight-page journal
of the largest size, being in its typography, in the
paper on which it is printed, in its proof-sheet—
more than this, being in its intellectual and moral
character, its comprehensive and general MAKE-
UP, a religious family newspaper of the very
first class.
As in former years, its editorial corps is amply
organized, intended to embrace such variety of
talent and experience as shall realize a high ideal
of completeness. Our arrangements are such as to
insure more in this department for the coming
year than in the past.
For the Watchman and Reflector’s
General Contributors, its Foreign and Home
correspondence, we never before could claim so
large a number of experts, embracing so wide
scope and variety, and such elements of general
readableness and excellence.
The aim of the Watchman is to be a health-
ful educator in the families which it enters, in-
forming the mind and improving the heart.
The WATCHMAN and REFLECTOR
is one of the best mediums for advertising to be
found in the country.

THE Book MARKET,
NEw York, March 1, 1875,
The inclement weather of the month just
closed has doubtless had its influence on the
book trade, and, combined with other depress-
ing influences, has caused an almost unprece-
dented inactivity. Although more than a year
has passed since the panic, its effects are still
very apparent in the trade all over the country,
and we must wait a still longer time for confi-
dence to be fully restored. Like a household
with a reduced income, the trade are seeking to
economize profits and stop leakages, and to
compensate for lack of business by extra care-
fulness and precaution. Hence the cry for re.
form, which is universally acknowledged to be
a necessity. So far as the outward evidences
of the movement are concerned, but little can
be said of its benefits, thuſs far, to the trade, but
beneath the current and outside of the meet-
ings of the various reforum associations, al-
though probably an outgrowth of the general
agitation, a revolution has begun which is full
of promise. Individual publishers are recog-
nizing the fact that books must be read before
they are printed, t:nd cannot be taken on the
author's word alone; that paying editions can.
not be disposed of in a single day or a single
week; that the books must seek the purchasers
as the purchasers cannot be depended on to
seek the books; hence, judicious advertisements
and careful reviews are daily becoming of more
importance. In short, publishers are learling
that material must be selected with greater
care and better judgment, and having been se-
lected and its publication determined upon, no
less care is necessary to place it before the pub-
lic. Smaller editions, lower retail prices,
shorter discounts, and better protection to the
retailer are the necessities to which the pub-
lishers are gradually but surely yielding. The
booksellers, on their part, are begining to see
that selling dollars at one hundred cents apiece
will not pay their rent, and, whatever their
neighbors do, they must sell at a profit or go
to the wall. Thus the refortu is working, but
it will never be fully consummated, until re-
mainders to be sacrificed are smaller, and re."
tailers are relieved from the temptation to di-
vide discounts, by making them less excessive.
D. Appleton & Co. have published the tenth
volume of the Bevised American Cyclopaedia,
which is one of the most valuable and praise-
worthy volumes yet issued. It begins with
“Kinglet' and ends with “Magnet,” The
biographical portions are very important, in-
cluding Knight, Knox, Kossuth, Lamartine,
Lamb, Lafayette, Luther, Longfellow, and
many other names equally noted. The pa-
pers on Language, Literature, and Libraries
are also very able and valuable. The other
late issues of the Appletons are Hearts and
Hands, a novel by Miss F. C. Fisher, better
known as Christian Reid; a book on Scientific
J.ondom, by Bernard H. Becker; Theodore
Martin's Life of the Prince Consort; and Ten
Years with Spiritual Mediums, by Francis Gerry.
Fairfield, Christian Reid’s book is a story of
society in the South and at White Sulphur
Springs. It is entertaining and full of the
freshness which appealed most strongly to
the reader in her former works. As a
novel of American society it is entitled to
praise, while as a story it will interest the
average novel-reader, and please the most par-
ticular by its graceful diction and general re-
finement. Scientific London is a book of
pleasing gossip and information, concerning
the learned societies of the English metropolis,
with which the author seems to be thoroughly
acquainted. The world’s science, art and lit-
erature owe much to these societies, and a
place should be found in every reader's library
for this agreeable and chatty account of them.
Mr. Fairchild's book is an addition to the lit-
erature of the “Phenomena called Spiritual,”
giving the results of the author’s observation
and experience. It is not so able and learned
as Mr. Owen's books, but the “manifesta-
9.3
tions ° described are quite as wonderful as
any that have been recorded, and the volume
will please the believers and interest, if it
does not convince the skeptical. Mr. Martin's

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
Life of the Prince Consort, as is very gener-
ally known, was prepared under the direction
of the Queen, of the material furnished by her,
and, as the London Athemſeum says, may be
regarded as almost her autobiography. It has
been highly complimented in England, where
it has a special interest, but it is delightful
reading anywhere, and is not without its value
to American students of English institutions.
D. Appleton & Co. have also just issued Hein-
rich Frey’s Histology and Histo-Chemistry of
Mam, a learned treatise on the composition
and structure of the human body, which has
passed through four editions in Germany. It
has been carefully revised by the author, and
ispublished in handsome style, with some six
hundred wood engravings. This house have
also published, in the International Series,
Professor Oscar Schmidt’s valuable work on
The Doctrine of Đescent and Darwinism, which
is illustrated with woodcuts; a volume on
Spain : Art Remains and Art Realities, in two
volumes, by Dr. H. Willis Baxley, being the
result of his three years’ stay in that country;
and have reprinted from the Weekly Register
and Catholic Standard, the Right Rev. Mon-
signor Capel's Reply to W. E. Gladstone's Po-
litical Evpostulation. -
The recent issues of Harper & Brothers are
Sports That Kill, by T. DeWitt Talmage; a
heavy volume on Malacca, Indo-China, and
China, the result of ten years of travel and
adventure, by J. Thomson, F.R.G.S.; and of
novels, A Strange World, by Miss Braddon ;
The Maid of Killeena and Other Stories, by Wil-
Jiam Black; The Law and the Lady, by Wilkie
Collins; and Hope Meredith, by Eliza Tabor.
Mr. Collins's novel is one of his strongest and
best. It is founded on the weak point of law
in Scotland which allows a jury to find a ver-
dict of “not proven,” and send the accused
forth on much the same footing as a “Ticket-
of-Leave Man.” Sports that Kill is a collection
of Mr. Talmage's discourses in the Brooklyn
Tabernacle, on gambling, drinking, theatre-
going, and other amusements and vices. They
attracted much attention at the time of their
delivery, especially those on theatres, which
called forth numerous and heated replies.
They are eloquent and able, and well worth
preserving. Mr. Thomson's Straits of Malacca,
Indo-China, and China, is a delightfully enter-
taining volume of travel, probably the best on
the countries visited that has yet been printed.
It is written by a careful observer, who had
the leisure to become familiar with the man-
ners and customs of the people, and he travel-
ed in sections seldom visited by foreigners, and
of which little or nothing has before been
written. The volume is very handsomely il-
lustrated from the author’s own photographs
and sketches. -
Henry Holt & Co. have published a work on
Africo, prepared by C. H. Jones, being an ac-
count condensed in a single volume of African
exploration and discovery from all the leading
writers from Herodotus to Livingstone. The
idea of embracing in one volume a whole
library of knowledge, much of it gleaned from
works almost inaccessible to the general
reader, was an excellent one, and Mr. Jones
has most admirably carried it out. It has
evidently involved a vast amount of labor and
research, but the favor with which it is re-
ceived should amply repay both author and
publisher. The book contains a good map
and a copious index. Holt & Co. have also
published in the Leisure Hour series, which
contains some of the brightest and best of
late novels, Mistress Judith, by C. C. Fraser-
Tytler. It is a good story, full of feeling,
graceful, and natural.
G. P. Putnam’s Sons published early in the
month a short treatise on Diseases of the Hip-
Joint, by Dr. Lewis A. Sayre ; and James Mar-
tineau's Religion as Affected by Moderm Spirit-
walism. They have in preparation and will soon
issue the first volume of the series of German
classics for American students, for which the
editor has selected Goethe’s “Herrman and
Dorothea ’’; and a volume on Protection and
Free Trade, by the late Isaac Butts, editor of
the Rochester Democrat. It will consist of his
newspaper writings and an address delivered
before the Cobden Club. Hon. David A. Wells’
recent letters on specie payments will be
printed in pamphlet foum under the title of
Pesumption through Cremnation.
The Catholic Publication Society has pub-
lished Archbishop Manning’s reply to Mr.
Gladstone on The Vatican Decrees and Civil Al-
legiance, and Dr. Newman’s Letter to the Duke
of Norfolk, on the same subject. They have
in press the third edition of The True and the
False Infallibility, by the late Bishop Fessler,
of Austria, which, though written before the
Gladstone controversy, is directly applicable
to it.
A. J. Bicknell & Co. have published Guil-
laume’s Interior Architecture, a very valuable
book of its kind, giving plans for doors, win-
dows, etc., with sections and a working scale
so large that any ordinary workman can use
it. These practical publishers have also an-
nounced for issue at this date a work in two
volumes, on Wooden and Brick Buildings, with
Details, to contain 160 plates of plans, eleva-
tions, views, etc., and a variety of exterior
and interior designs. Among its contributors
are many of the leading architects of the
country, including Messrs. Potter, Harney,
Holley, Hathorne, and J. Wrey Mould. The
contents range through almost every variety
of building, from simple country cottages to
elaborate residences, churches, school-houses,
and store fronts of iron, stone, and brick lt
is the only work that treats at all extensively
of building in brick. It contains full sets of
specifications, and is in all respects a most
valuable work. Bicknell & Co. will publish
here during the season a reprint of Villa and
Cottage Architecture, just published by Blackie
& Son, of Glasgow and London, a work well
worthy of a place on their list.

BoSTON, March 1, 1875.
There is little change to note in the condi-
tion of our Book Trade, except that it is dull-
er than ever Publishers are learning to be
cautious and careful in the making of new
plates, and are gradually becoming accustom-
ed to smaller editions, and to the fact that
they must wait longer for returns than in the
flush years of the trade. The houses that
have the largest list of standard books are the
most fortunate, as those books are always
salable, and even at this time the demand for
them, though light, is constant. ,
Roberts Brothers, whose imprint is sure to
secure for any volume in which it appears
the careful attention of the literary world,
have added to their issues Sir Arthur Helps's
Social Pressure, Earl Russell’s Recollections
and Suggestions; a Life of Ezra Stiles Gannett;
and an essay on The Morality of the Prohibi-
tory Liquor Law, by William B. Weeden, a
Providence merchant. Social Pressure is a
continuation of the discussions of the Friends
in Council. The range of topics includes
those that are of most importance and are
uppermost in men’s minds, and the author
has very wisely selected this conversational
method of presenting his views. It allows
the full presentation of antagonistic opinions,
and relieves the book of the dullness which
is so often a barrier between the essayist and
the reader. The volume is always interesting,
and contains a fund...of instruction and sugges-
tive thought which will secure for it a place
among the most valuable writings of the day.
Lord Russell's Recollections &nd Sugges-
tions cover a period of more than half a
century, from 1813 to 1873. Its distin-
guished authorship will secure for it wide
attention, and no student of history can afford
to lose the inside view of English politics
which its pages afford. The history of the
important legislation with which Earl Rus-
sell was so prominently connected, and the
many reminiscences which enliven the book,
, combine to make it exceedingly interesting
as well as valuable to the reader. The vener-
able author writes with charming candor and
simplicity, admitting his error in not detain-
ing the Alabama, but defending his position
of neutrality, for which purpose he quotes
Mr. Grote, who, he says, “was not unduly
partial to the English Government.” The
volume begins with his election to Parlia-
ment,in 1813, and the first pages are copied
from the introduction to the author's Speeches
and Dispatches, but in a preface he gives a
short account of his earlier life, in which it
appears' that his father did not hold a high
opinion of English universities, and sent him
to finish his studies to the house of Professor
Playfair, of Edinburgh. The Life of Dr. Gan-
nett is written by his son, William C. Gan-
Inett, and is published in a meat and tasteful
volume of six hundred pages. Dr. Gannett,
as is very generally known, was a Unitarian
minister in Boston from 1824 to 1871, in which
year he was killed in the Revere accident on
the Eastern Railroad. He was much beloved
and revered by the people of Boston, and the
record of his life, which was in all respects a
lovely one, is full of ennobling usefulness.
The Essay of Mr. Weeden on the much-
talked of Prohibitory Law, contains much to
recommend it. It is hostile to Prohibition,
and will find many appreciative readers among
those who oppose the legislation in that direc-
tion. Roberts Brothers have just ready an
American edition of the little book which has
had a large sale in England, How to Wºlé
Clearly, containing rules and exercises for
English composition, by Rev. Edwin A.
Abbott, Head Master of the City of London
School. The book has never been in this
market, but has been imported for use in Har-
ward College. Of the books in preparation by
this house, I may mention a volume of Essays
on Christian Belief and Life, by Professor A.
P. Peabody, of Harvard ; and a novel by “A
Broad Churchman,” with the title Victor Jºſt
Tourette, in which the author deals severely
with false pretenses and hypocrisy in religion.
Harry Blount is in hand, and the first fair
trade-wind will give our boys their best book
of the season.
James R. Osgood & Co. have lately issued a
cheap popular 16mo. edition of The Hangtrºg
of The Crane, containing twelve illustrations;
also a new octavo edition; A Passionate Pºl-
grim, and Other Tales, by Henry James, Jr.; a
volume of Parlor Amusements, by G. B. Bart-
lett; Other People's Money, a novel, by Emile
Gaboriau; the sixth volume of the Litule
Classics; and a revised edition of Boedeker's
Guide Book to Central Italy and Rome, which
contains maps and plans, and is indispensable
to those who visit that part of Europe. 4
Passionate Pilgrim contains six of the best of
Mr. James's shorter stories, all or nearly all of
which have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly.
Besides the story that gives the book its title,
there are, The Last of the Valerii; Eugene
Pickering; The Madonna of the Future; The
Romance of Certain Old Clothes, and Madame
de Maves. Mr. Bartlett’s Parlo). A musements
contains a variety of entertainments suitable
for the home, with the directions so simple,
and the necessary paraphernalia. So easily ob-
tained, that it will be of great service to the
young folks. The new volume of Little Class-
ics is entitled “Love,” and contains the “Story
of Ruth,” from the Bible; “Love and Skates.”
by Theodore Winthrop; Bulwer’s “The Maid
of Malinés;” and Disraeli's “The Rise of IS-
kander.” These little volumes, containing the
very best of English literature under their
appropriate heads, are constantly growing in
popular favor, and several editions of the first
volumes have been printed. The next volume
will contain, under the title of Romance, “Iris,”
from Dr. Holmes’ “Professor at the Breakfast
Table ; ” “The Rosicrucian,” by Miss Mulock;
“The South Breaker,” by Harriet Prescott
Spofford; ” “The Snow-Storm,” by Chris-

topher North (Mr. John Wilson), and Allan
Cunningham’s “The King of the Peak.” At
an early day Osgood & Co. will issue Rocks
Ahead; or, The Warnings of Cassandra, by W.
B. Greg, a critical and somewhat gloomy
view of the political, commercial, and social
prospects of England, printed from the second
English edition, and containing replies to crit-
ics; and a second volume of Problems of Life
and Mind, from G. H. Lewes. They have
also in preparation another book on architec-
ture, by Violet-Le-Duc, which differs from The
Story of a House, in being more formal and sci-
entific. It is a very thorough work, and will
be profusely illustrated by heliotypes.
Wm. F. Gill & Co. have published Adolphe
Belot's La Femme de Feu (The Woman of Fire),
a very sensational work, which has enjoyed
great popularity in France; and have just
ready The Rainbow Creed, a novel, by a mem-
ber of the Boston Radical Club, who satirizes,
in the form of a story, the dogmas of Christi-
anity and the accepted evangelical doctrines.
Prominent preachers are introduced under
names suggested by their best known charac-
teristics, and are easily recognized, as well as
the places in which the actors are located, as,
for instance, Hubbardton for Boston, and Hub-
bardton University for Harvard. The work
displays scholarship, and though a little care-
less at times, is without vindictiveness. Gill
& Co. have also ready a reprint of Dr. Gard-
ner's Longevity ; or, the Means of Prolonging
Life after Middle Age, which has passed
through several editions in London, and at-
tracted much notice. Early in March they
will issue Alicia Warlock, by Wilkie Collins,
who tells us in his preface that, though based
on The Dream Woman, it is really a new story.
This will be followed by The Romance of
an Honest Woman, by Cherbuliez, probably
the most successful of the works of the refined
French novelist ; and Dead to the World ; or,
Sim and Atonement, a novel, from the German
of Carl Detlef, now first translated into Eng-
lish by M. S.
Lee & Shepard published early in February
Mr. Higginson’s Child's History of the United
States, and Songs of Joy, both of which were
noticed at length in my last letter. The bis-
tory is an exceptionally good one. It is made
very attractive in appearance by fine paper,
c.ear print, and numerous woodcuts, and dif-
fers from most histories written for children
in being less dry and more like a story-book.
It is free from the discouraging array of
figures generally found in the smaller histo-
ries, the exact dates of only the most important
events being given, and more attention is paid
to the progress of the country during its years
of peace than to its wars. These are two very
commendable features, and it has many others
to make it the most popular book of its kind.
Songs of Joy is an admirable collection of de-
votional tunes for the use of Sunday-Schools
and praise meetings, edited by J. H. Tenney.
Lee & Shepard have nearly ready a new
novel, by Mrs. Katharine Sedgwick Wash-
burne, entitled Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear,
and a new Manual of Parliamentary Practice,
by Mr. W. L. Robinson, known in the news-
paper world as Warrington. The author is
well fitted for making such a manual, having
been, for ten or more years, clerk in the Mas-
sachusetts House of Assembly. During the
present month this house will also issue, un-
der the title of In the Kitchen, a new cook-
book, by Mrs. Miller, a daughter of the late
Gerritt Smith; and they have in preparation a
new French Instruction Book, by Francis S.
Williams, the author of the Manual of French
and English, published by Sheldon. The book
will have for its title, A Trip to Paris, and
will seek to impart a knowledge of the lan-
guage by a series of conversations connected
by a narrative. The most important forth-
coming book from this house is Spain and
the Spaniards, by N. L. Thieblin, who belongs
to that class of whiters, the newspaper cor-
respondents, who have given us lately our
best books of travel. Mr. Thieblin was for-
eign correspondent and writer for the Pall
Mall Gazette, for which he wrote those laugh-
able sketches of English life and manners,
signed by Azamat-Batuk. During the Franco-
German war his letters from the French army
in the same journal attracted much attention.
At the conclusion of the war he was sent to
Spain by the N. Y. Herald, and the present
work is the result of his stay in that country.
He has prepared this edition from that pub-
lished in England last spring, and it is an-
nounced for publication at an early day.
Estes and Lauriat have been paying more
attention of late to bookselling than to book-
making, and since the holidays have issued no
new books. They will soon issue a number
of novels, of which I may mention Above Sus-
picion, which will be printed from advance
sheets, by arrangements with the author, Mrs.
J. H. Riddell ; Open Sesame, by Florence Mar-
ryatt, now running in London Society ; A
Woman’s Ramsom, by J. H. Robinson; Cut
Adrift, by Albany Fonblanque, and two
French novels, Miss Rovel, from Cherluliez,
and Le Mot D’Enigme, from Madame Craven.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. have published
a History of the U. S. Marine Corps, by Mr.
Almy Aldrich and Captain R. S. Collum.
Mr. Aldrich is a well-known journalist of Bos-
ton, and Captain Collum is an officer of the
Marine Corps. With praiseworthy care and
much labor in the collection of data, they have
accomplished a work which ought to have
been done long ago, but has never befºre
been undertaken. Little is known by the
public of this branch of the service, and his-
torical students and all interested in the mat-
ter will accord to this volume a hearty wel-
come. During March these publisbers will
issue in book form, Achsah, by Rev. Peter
Pennot, the mom de plume of a well-known
Boston journalist. The story has been delight-
ing the readers of American Homes, and is well

worth putting into more permanent form.
Later in the spring they will issue a new
book on the Adirondacks, by Rev. W. H. H.
Murray, which will consist of a guide-book,
and of anecdotes, legendary and humorous ;
and a Story and Guide-Book of the Maine
Lakes, by Mr. C. A. Stephens. They have
also in preparation a volume of poems, by a
new writer, Frank N. Lautz.
Little, Brown & Co. have in press a Treatise
on the Law of Copyright, by E. S. Drone, whose
able articles on the subject appeared in The
Jano Review. The work is elaborate and ex-
haustive, extending to about five hundred
pages. This house have ready the first vol-
ume of the new Encyclopaedia Brittanica. It
is a handsome quarto of 908 pages of text,
completing the subject of Anatomy, and there
are 21 additional pages of finely executed
plates.
A. Williams & Co. have issued a book on
The Dairy Cow, consisting of a monograph on
the Ayrshire breed of cattle, by Messrs. E.
Lewis and Joseph N. Sturtevant, and an ap-
pendix on Ayrshire, Jersey, and Dutch milks,
their formation and peculiarities. The authors
are well known in Massachusetts from their
connection with the agricultural interests of
the State, and the book will find favor with a
large class of readers. It is liberally embel-
lished with heliotype illustrations.
Loring has published a charming story by
Emily Bowles, entitled In the Camargue. He
has applied liis usual test before reprinting it
from the English edition, and the single copy
in his library was one of the most popular of
his books. The Camargue is in the South of
France. The picturesqueness of the country,
and the people, with which the author seems
to be intimately acquainted, have afforded her
the subjects for a series of wivid word-pictures
which are seldom approached in a work of
fiction. It is pure and vigorous in tone, and
whether sunny with laughter or sad with
pathos, it enlists the reader’s keenest interest.
Loring has in press a new volume from the
pen of Horatio Alger, entitled The Young Out-
law; and is about to publish a little book on
Bee-Keeping, by J. W. Pagden, of Sussex,
England. . The full title is $350 a Year:
FIow I make it by my Bees, which is sufficient
to awaken an interest and make ready buyers.
PIIILADELPHIA, March 1, 1875.
Our publishers are still holding back many
of their new books, and patiently waiting for
the spring trade to open. There are no signs
of it yet, however; jobbers report that orders
are few and light, and the retail trade is
lighter than it has been before for many years.
While this is true of the aggregate trade, the
few novels that have been issued have met
with a very fair sale, and have relieved the
trade from utter stagnation. .
Porter & Coates have published the first
part of a work on Elementary Philosophy, by
James M. Wilcox, Ph. D., this part being de-
voted to Logic; and a delightful volume, en-
titled Days near Rome, by Augustus J. C.
Hare, who gives us charming pictures of the
beautiful country in the vicinity of the an-
cient city. The ordinary reader who thinks
he knows all about Rome will find this vol-
ume entirely new. Even the tourist, who has
zealously followed the guide-books, will be
astonished at the newness of the places, the
scenery, and the people with which Mr. Hare
here makes him acquainted. He has departed
from the ordinary routes, and writes of locali-
ties difficult of access and seldom visited by the
traveler; hence, his book has all the charm
of an account of travel in an unexplored
country. -
Porter & Coates have just ready a new and
stirring novel by G. J. Whyte Melville, enti.
tled Katerfelto, printed from advance sheets.
The author is already well known by his
former writings, Holmby House, The Gladia-
ters, and others of more recent date. The pres-
ent volume is a genuine sporting tale, giving a
fascinating glimpse of Gipsy life, and, in the
words of the London Athenayum, “Is one of
the best specimens to be met with of what a
sporting anecdote should be.” It will be in .
cluded in the International Series of novels,
and will be followed by Oldbury, an English
novel by Annie Carey. Among the books in
preparation by Porter & Coates is a work on
Social and National Economy, by Professor
Robert Ellis Thompson, of the University of
Pennsylvania, and editor of the Penn Monthly.
Though prepared for popular readers, it is
also admirably adapted for a text-book, and
will be the only text-book on Political Econo-
my which elaborates the principles of Protec.
tion. They have also in press a work on the
Origin and Laws of Storms, and the Methods
of Prognosticating them, by William Blasius,
formerly professor of Natural Sciences in the
Lyceum of Hanover, and a brother of the
noted German zoölogist. The Better Self an-
nounced for early issue, is a series of essays
by Haine Friswell, author of The Gentle Life.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have printed a
new edition of The Court of London, by G. W.
M. Reynolds, containing an account of the Life
and Times of the Prince of Wales, afterwards
George IV., and relating, the publishers state,
the same facts contained in the volume that
the £1,000 reward was said to be offered for.
The Fortune Seeker; or, the Bridal Eve, is vol-
ume four of the new edition of Mrs. South-
worth's books. Isabella Vincent; or, the Two
Orphans, and Vivian Bertram; or, the Wife's
Honor, are two new novels from the pen of G.
W. M. Reynolds. Guy Mammering, by Sir
Walter Scott, is the fourth volume of the new
cheap edition of the Waverley Novels. Dur-
ing March, T. B. Peterson & Brothers will hold
their Special Spring Sale by offering their
popular and fast selling books at special rates
of discount. As this house do not contribute
to the New York Trade Sale, this is the only

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
way buyers can get them below the regular
rate . -
During the coming month the Petersons will
publish several new books which will be ap-
preciated by a large class of readers. First on
the list is Mrs. Southworth’s new novelette,
which has never been published before in any
form,entitled The Spectre Lover, uniform with
the new edition of Mrs. Southworth’s books
now being issued by this house in 38 volumes.
The Discarded Wife; or, Will She Succeed, by
Miss Eliza A. Dupuy, whose books have met
with a flattering reception from the reading
public, will follow. A Foggy Night at Offord
is Mrs. Ellen Wood’s addition to the list of
twenty-five cent novels. The fifth volume of
the Waverley Novels, twenty-five cent edi-
tion, now being issued semi-monthly by this
firm, will be The Pirate, one of Sir Walter
Scott’s most fascinating stories.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have been giving their
attention to a number of important works, to
the exclusion of the lighter literature they
have in hand. They have lately become sole
proprietors of the American revised edition of
Chambers's Encyclopaedia, which has been ed-
ited especially for American readers, and con-
tains many engravings not in the other ed-
itions. The Hon. John Bigelow's new edition
of the Life of Franklºw, in three volumes, and
The Diary of John Quincy Adams, in four vol-
umes, edited by Charles Francis Adams, are
works of great interest and importance. In
the former, Mr. Bigelow gives the autobiog-
raphy, which comes down to 1775, or Frank-
lin’s fiftieth year, and continues the life from
letters and other writings, and in this portion
of the work the editor has displayed rare skill
and excellent judgment. The last volume of
the Adams Diaries covers the interval between
the summer of 1817 and the spring of 1820,
when Mr. Adams was Secretary of State in
the first administration of President Monroe,
and this volume is the most interesting of the
four. The second volume of Prescott's new
edition of Robertson’s Charles the Fifth is
nearly ready. This work, in its improved form,
is attracting much attention. The third vol-
ume, which will complete the work, will be
issued later in the spring. The other books
just ready at this house are, The Fair Puritan,
a story of New Elgland in the days of witch-
craft, by Henry W. Herbert, better known as
“ Frank Forrester; ” and a school history of
the United States, from a southern standpoint,
by Prof. Joseph T. Derry, of the Academy of
Richmond College, Augusta, Ga.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have pub-
lished in a handsome quarto volume, for the
Library Committee of the Grand Lodge of the
F. A. M. of Pa., a Dedication Memorial of the New
Masonic Temple of Philadelphia. It contains a
history of the temple, with a full description
of it, the dedication addresses, correspondence,
etc. It is illustrated with twenty photographic
views and beautiful woodcut chapter head-
ings and initial devices, and is a unique
and handsome specimen of book-making.
Among its curious features is a lithographic
fac-simile of the subscription list of the first
Masonic Hall of Philadelphia, containing the
names of Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Mifflin,
and other noted men. Annette; or, the Chron-
icles of Bellevue, by Charlotte Walsingham, is
an American story of the last century, not of
the School which is known as sensational, but
interesting throughout and well written.
These publishers have nearly ready, Secrets of
the Sanctum, by A. F. Hill, formerly editor of
the New Hampshire Patriot. It gives, accord-
ing to the author, “a spicy account of the in-
terior workings of newspapers, and explains
many things that are strange mysteries to the
general public.” Later in the month will be
issued an interesting book on Denmark, by
G. W. Griffin, late U. S. Consul at Copenha-
gen. It will bear the title of My Danish Days.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have a num-
ber of publications, which will be indispensa-
ble to visitors at the Centennial. Among them
are new editions of Syckelmoore's Illustrated
Hand-Book of Philadelphia; and the Guide to
Fairmount Park, containing illustrations and
descriptions of the exhibition grounds and
buildings.
Kay & Brother, the enterprising law book
publishers, will shortly issue volume sixteen
of Sergeants & Rawle's Reports. This is
the third edition of the work, which has been
much improved by additional notes. This is-
sue will be followed by the twenty-fifth vol-
ume of Smith’s Reports, making the seventy-
fifth volume of the Pennsylvania State Re-
ports. During the spring they will publish a
second editions of Wharton on the Law of
Homicide, with Selections of Leading Cases.
This work, by the leading authority on crim-
inal law, was first published in 1855, and the
new edition will be much enlarged and im-
proved. Kay & Brother have also in prepara-
tion an American edition of Leake's Law of
Contracts, with notes by Francis Rawle and
Henry Reed, of the Philadelphia bar; a Treat-
ise on the Law of Notice, by George Tucker
Bispham, author of Principles of Equity and
other works ; the sixth American edition of
Williams on Executors, by J. C. Perkins,
I.L.D., which will be greatly improved and

popyRIGHT IN 2ANADA.
The Canadian government has introduced
into the Senate a bill amending the Copy-
right Act of 1868. That act only granted
copyrights to British subjects; but the new
act is designed to throw open the privilege to
all persons whose works are published or
produced in Canada. It provides that, pend-
‘ing the publication or republication in Canada.
of a literary, scientific, or artistical work, the
author may obtain an interim copyright, which
shall secure his rights for three months. This
is to be followed by the full copyright on pub-
lication or republication. If the author fails
to obtain his copyright according to the pro-
visions of the act, or fails to bring out his
work within three months after obtaining the
tnterim copyright, and any other person has
undertaken the republication of such work, or
has imported foreign reprints of them, such
other person shall have the privilege of dis-
posing, by sale or otherwise, of the number of
copies thus actually reproduced or being pro-
duced or imported. -

CENTRAL Rooksellers' Association.
A regular meeting of the Central Booksellers' Asso-
ciation was held February 10th, at the St. Nicholas
Hotel, N. Y. The attendance was small. The President
and resident Vice-President being absent, Mr. Peter
Carter was called to the chair. -
The Committee appointed in November last to pro-
cure signatures to the twenty per cent. rule reported:
That the paper was duly presented to every leading
house in this city, and the signature of each obtained,
excepting only that of the American Ndws Company.
This was not withheld from any want of sympathy or
indisposition to co-operate with the movement, but for
the simple reason that the necessary official action could
not be taken at that time. The application was not re-
newed for the reasons heroin after stated.
Your committee made arrangements, at the Novem-
ber meeting, for a public meeting to be held in Boston.
On the 21st of that month they met a large gathering of
the Now England trade, and, after a full discussion of
the whole subject, obtained the signatures of many of
those present at the meeting, A Committee was then
f
appointed to solicit the signatures of all others; and
within forty-eight hours after, every leading house in
Boston had signed the paper, as prepared and presented
by your committee. -
Greatly encouraged, they may say elated, by their
success in New York and Boston, your committee ar- .
ranged for a public meeting at Philadelphia, to be held
on the 3d of December. That meeting was well attended,
but your committee learned that a misapprehension pre-
vailed as to the precise meaning of the resolution of the
CentralAssociation, and by a resolution of the meeting, .
in order that there might not be any possible misunder-
Standing, it was amended to read as follows:
The Central Booksellers' Association adopts twenty (20).
pel cent, as the maximum discount to be given to libra-
ries, schools, teachers, professional men generally, and
other large buyers outside the trade, with the exception
of supplies of school-books for first introduction ; speci-
men copies of school-books for examination; school-books
for school-boards and State Normal schools created by law
and authorized to purchase supplies from public funds;
school books for schools other than Sunday-schools, sup-
ported by religious and benevolent societies, and purchas-
ing their own supplies of school-books; and to such mer-
chants that deal in books and school supplies.
The undersigned publishers, and booksellers hereby ac-
cept the above by-law of the Central Booksellers' Associa-
...tion, to take effect on the first of January next, and agree
that the terms herein uamed shall be the rates of discount
thereafter allowed on all sales at our establishment.
[Note: This agreement, as signed by those following, is
understood to restrict discounts to the classes named, all
other retail buyers to be charged catalogue retail prices.]
This was signed by a number of those present, and
the meeting appointed a committee to sulicit the signa-
tures of the other houses in the trade. These were all
obtained, with the except on of that of Messrs. J. B.
A lippincott & Co. -
As your committee were fully impressed with the im-
portance of an united movement, the members resident
in New York on the 13th of January addressed a letter
to Messrs. Lippincott & Co., in the hope that, on further
leflection, the house might have been led to reconsider
its decision. Tue correspondence is hereunto annexed,
and will show that that hope has not been realized.
Your committee from the beginning acted upon the
assumption that while the 20th of November was named
as the day on which the resolution was to go into opera-
tion, it was in operative until their paper had been sub-
mitted to and signed by all the principal houses of the
three cities: They intended, in all cases, to have this
understood, and regret that in some instances they un-.
intentionally failed to do so, and that this failure of
theirs led to a misapprehension on the part of some of
the signers, lºor the failure they can only plead the
fact that they themuselves were ń. persuaded that a .
general movement along the whole line was indispen-
Sable to success. New York could not carry out the
reform alone. Neither could Philadelphia or 13oston.
Your committee therefore sought to unite the trade of
the three cities; and the names of all the signers, here
transmitted, will show how near they came to a complete,
success. They came within one of it!
Your committee desire to state that in the prosecution
of this work they found much to encourage thein. The
reception by the trude generally was cordial, in some
instances enthusiastic. They had abundant evidence
that the reform movement commands the hearty ap-'
royal of the trade at large; that its consummation is
indispensable to the interests alike of the publisher, the
jobb r, and the dealer. They knew that what has al-`
ready been done has encouraged some of the timid and
strengthened some of the weaker. During the last
Christmas season the trade of New York city suffered.

many years past. Had your committee been completely
successful at Philadelphia, it was their intention to have
notified the trade that the resolution would go into effect
on the 1st of January, 1875. This time was agreed upon,
owing to the delay in holding the meeting at Philadel-
phia, and in procuring signatures there. As the move-
ment was not successful, the proposed action was not
taken; and now nothing remains for them to do but to
submit this report and ask to be discharged.
They cannot but express the hope, however, that the
resent is only a temporary delay. Their conviction is
hat this reform must and will succeed. It is based on
a sound principle. It demands only what is right and
just. For two years there has been a progressive move-
ment. The past six months have shown a wonderful ac-
celeration. The hand cannot now be set back on the
dial. So the final result is only a question of time, and
for this let all patiently work and wait, “With malice
toward none, with charity for all."

In Jeaffreson's recent “Book about the Table"
we find a pleasant anecdote, which will interest
literary aspirants. Eliza Acton of Ipswich,
England, was esteemed aſ very bright young
lady, and in 1826 she published a volume of
poems, which, however, brought her no fame.
Ten years later she called at Longman's pub-
lishing house and sought an interview with
that great man. She said, “I wish to write a
book that is really wanted. Give me the sub-
ject for a book for which the world has need,
and I will write it for you.” The publisher
asked her if she was an author, to which she
answered, “I am a poet; but I shall write no
more poems. The world does not want
poems.” Mr. Longman remarked with cheer-
ful irony, “Well, Miss Acton, we want a good
cookerybook, and if you will write a really good
one, I shall be happy to publish it for you."—
“Then you advise me to write a good cookery-
book 2 * “I should advise you to do so,”
was the answer, “if I were confident of your
ability to write a good one.” The lady with-
drew and set to work. Nineteen years passed;
in 1845 Miis Acton’s “Modern Cookery in All
Its Branches” was published, and has ever
since maintained its place among standard
books of its kind,—Literary World.

The Housekeeper, which by the way does not

for any lady, that she reads so sensible and

Mr. Robert S, Davis, of the firm of Robert
S. Davis & Co., school-book publishers of Bos-
ton, died at his home in that city on Tuesday,
February 23d. . +.
At a meeting of the booksellers and publish-
ers held in Boston, February 24th, the follow-
ing resolutions were adopted :
•TWhereas, It has pleased the Great Disposer of human
events to take from among us another of our respected
associates and º Robert S. Davis, for
so many years well known and appreciated in this
community as an enterprising and successful publisher
of educational works, and has at His own good time, re-
caled him in the ripeness of his years, and in the full ma-
turity of his work, from eqrthly responsibilities to other
and we trust higher duties; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the
heard with deep regret of the departure from among us
of our former companion and friend, and that, while we
may miss the intercourse that has so long and so pleas-
antly subsisted between the departed and ourselves, and
while his death has created in our ranks a marked and
important void, we recognize in this event a Father's
hand; and, remembering that our departed friend has
been permitted a long and prosperous life, and has been
garnered like a ripened sheaf, we bow in submission to
the will of Him who doeth all things well.
Resolved, That we tender to the family of the deceased
the sincere expression of our sympathy in their bereave-
ment, knowing that He who has been pleased to take
from them a beloved husband and father will be very
migh to them in their loneliness and will sustain them
with a Father's arm. - t
Itesolved, That we will close our several places of busi-
ness during the hours devoted to the f.neral services of
our departed brother, and will consult the wishes of his
family in regard to our attendance at the same.
MICHELET’S COPYRIGHTS.
The copyrights of the works of Michelet
were sold at auction on Monday last, and
finally purchased by Michel Lévy et frères,
the well-known publishers. At the time of
Michelet’s death I spoke of his domestic
troubles, and of the dissensions introduced
into his once happy family by the introduc-
tion of a second wife. The author himself
paid a great many fine tributes to this lady,
who had given him much help in his literary
labors, and he clung to her even when he saw
his children leaving the paternal roof on her
account. The son-in-law and the children say
that Mme. Michelet has an unendurable tem-
per, and that it is impossible to get on with
her. In fine, they characterize her as a typi-
cal belle-mêre, or mother-in-law. When they
quarreled about Michelet's dead body, it is
only natural that they should do so over his
property. The widow claimed more than the
children were willing to grant, and wanted to
keep the copyrights of the books to which she
had given so much personal labor. The fam-
ily agreed to this on condition that some con-
cessions were made on her part ; but Mme.
Michelet was not one of the compromising
kind. The others replied that if she wanted
to be ugly about the settlements they would
be ugly too, and hence forced the sale of
these copyrights. The upset price for all the
ublishers of Boston, have.
copyrights was fixed at 196,000 francs; but, as
no bid was made, though all the large publish-
ers of Paris were present, it was reduced to
50,000 francs, and knocked down to the levys
for 56,000 francs.-Paris Letter to N. Y. Times.

the name of his State, which was omitted in
his letter, we will give him the information he
asks for.

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form :

Farmer Tompkins and His Biblºs,
By PROF. WILLIS, J. BEECHER, of Auburn

TJnder the garb of a pleasing narrative, it discusses
questions of vital importance with regard to the Bible,
and meets prevailing forms of doubt and skepticism as
to the inspiration, credibility, and authenticity of the
Scriptures. Farmer Tompkins, with his “ Biblearium,”

vividly. 1Umo. Illustrated. Price, $1.25.

EMERSON. With a Prefatory Essay. Crown 8vo.
Nearly 600 pages. Beveled boards, gilt top. New edi-
tion, revised. $4.00.
“Perhaps it would not be exact to say that Mr. Emer-
son’s ‘Parnassus' has been the greatest literary success
of the season, for other books have sold more copićs, but
none has given more genuine plensure, or been examined
with more interest.”—Springfield Repuh'ican.
“Mr. Emerson's ‘Parnassus' is one of the most delight-
ful household books of poetry, if not the most enjoyable
of all compilations that have ever been published.”—
JHartford Cowrant.

these tales possess many elements of popular interest,
their philos phic thou ht, insight into Čharacter, pictur-
esqueness of description, and charm of style give them
great positive value and a high rank in literature.

THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER
IT PAYS THE HIGHEST AND GETS THE BEST.
Our best and most popular old writers—whose places could not, in our opinion, be supplied by
any others on the American Continent—will continue to write, most of them exclusively, for the
Ll:DGER.
In addition to the old favorites, we have made arrangements with eminent new writers, whose
names will be announced hereafter. *
We do not hesitate at any price necessary to obtain the contributions of the first authors of the
day. -
We believe that hundreds of thousands of young men and young women, through the attractive
and entertaining matter in the LEDGEIt, have formed a taste for reading which has now become
fixed, and will remain with them, a source of happiness and improvement, through life.
As we said on a former occasion, one great and guiding principle with us is to inculcate the
sentiments of self-respect and self-reliance, and thus to strengthen and render more manly the char-
acters which are just assuming form, to endure through all their days.
The LEDGER advocates the strictest fidelity in all the relations of life, and the inviolability of
the marriage contract. - -
Our old readers will all bear us witness that the LEDGER has always been better at performing
than at promising. Every year it has furnished much more than was promised at the beginning.
The LEDGER is always full of life and spirit; and a person once accustomed to reading it finds
it too pleasant a companion to willingly part with it.
It contains the purest, sweetest, and most delightful stories, striking narratives, and instructive
biographical and historical sketches.
It has the most popular and carefully prepared collection of scientific facts.
We shall continue to reply to questions on all interesting subjects as heretofore. Not only are
these questions genuine, coming directly from the people, but we receive thousands more that we
have space to answer. f
Since the first of January, 1875, our subscribers have had no postage to pay. We prepay the postage
on every paper that we mail. Notwithstanding this, there is no increase in the price of the LEDGER.
As will be seen by the following, our rates remain unchanged:
OUIR TEIRMS FOR 1875.
Single copics, $3 per annum; four copies, $70, which is $2.50 a copy; eight copies, $20, postage free. The party
who sends us $0 for a club of eight copies (all sent at one time), will be entitled io a copy free. JPostmasters anºi
others who get up clubs in their respective towns, cun afterwards add single copies at $2.50. No subscriptions
taken for a less period than one year. When a draft or money order can conveniently be sent, it will be preferred,
as it will prevent the possibility of the loss of mo ey by Inail. Remember that the postage on the L.DGER to all
parts of the country will be paid by us, so that our subscribers will have no postage to pay.

THE Book MARKET
NEW YORK, April 1, 1875.
The book business of the month has been
light, but the last week has shown a decided
improvement, and the prospect of a good
spring trade is very fair. The book trade is
generally the first to feel a depression, and
the last to be relieved ; but, as a revival of busi-
ness throughout the country is looked for—
indeed, has already begun—the book trade can-
not but be improved by the general prosperity.
The trade is prepared to reap the fullest ad-
vantages of a revival. The forced economy
and care of the past year have tried it very
severely, but the present finds it in a better
condition probably than it was before the
panic of seventeen months ago. At that time
retailers were overloaded with dead stock, to
which they were constantly being forced to
make additions, by the recklessness of the
publishers in forcing unsalable books on the
market. During the past year booksellers
have been unloading and book-makers have
become more careful. To day the retailer can
order of the new issues with less risk of tying
up his capital, credits are shorter, capital
smaller, and profits surer than they have been
for years. The coming trade sale has un-
doubtedly retarded the placing of orders, and
the unpleasant weather has interfered with
business. By the time the trade sale is over,
spring will have fairly begun, and there will
be a month or two of good trade.
D. Appleton & Co. have issued during the
month a racy novel of Washington society,
by A. G. Riddle, entitled Alice Brand ; a work
on Heredity, from the French of Ribot ; an
elaborate work on Astronomy, also by a
French author, J. Rambosson, translated by
C. B. Pitman ; three initial one-dollar vol-
umes in a series which the publishers call the
Popular Science Library ; and a very interest-
ing volume on the countries of the Mediter-
ranean, by James Henry Bennet, entitled
|Winter and Spring on the Shores of the Mediter-
*Wilean. Alice Brand is affn attempt to show
the influences on legislation at Washington,
exerted by female lobbyists. It is written in
a lively vein, and some of the characters
are to be easily recognized as persons who
figured at the Capital during the years of
the war. The volumes in the new series of
Popular Science books are Health, by Dr.
Edward Smith ; Natural History of Man, by
Professor A. De Quatrefages, translated from
the French by Eliza A. Youmans; and The
Science of Music, by Sedley Taylor. In the
first, Dr. Smith treats his subject ably, and in
a manner that makes the book readable as
well as profitable to the ordinary reader. The
Natural History of Man is a series of elemen-
tary lectures by the eminent French anthro-
pologist. They are clear and forcible, and
will do much to popularize the study of his
subject. The third volume, on The Science of
Music, very laudably “aims at placing before
persons unacquainted with mathematics an
intelligent and succinct account of that part
of the theory of sound which constitutes the
physical basis of the art of music.” The rap-
idly increasing taste for scientific books that
can be read without special preparation ; will
secure for these books hearty approval. The
next volume will be on Evolution, translated
from the French of Dr. E. Cazelle, by Rev.
O. B. Frothingham. -
Ribot’s work on Hérédity has to do princi-
pally with hereditary transmission of mental
faculties. The physiological side of the ques-
tion has been carefully studied by scientists,
and much has been written conceruing it; but
psychological heredity has received but little
attention, and the present work aims to sup-
ply the deficiency. Its phenomena, its con-
sequences, its causes and its laws are all ably
considered, and much interest is added to the
work by the numerous examples in illustra-
tion.of the author’s views. Rambosson’s As-.
tronomy is a very handsome volume, and
valuable for the clearness, and fullness with
which the author sets forth the results of the
most recent study and investigation. It com
tains maps of the heavenly bodies, a large-

number of wood engravings, and ten hand-
some colored plates. Appleton & Co. will
publish shortly an elaborate illustrated vol-
ume on Fungi. They have in preparation a
work on Biology, for beginners.
Harper & Brothers have issued Gladstone's
latest pamphlet containing replies to his
former paper on the Vatican decrees; a
charming collection of simple songs, by Mrs.
Craik, entitled Songs of Owr Youth, and novels
from Mrs. Frances Cashel Hoey, B. L. Far-
jeon, and Mrs. Oliphant. In Mr. Gladstone's
pamphlet, which bears the title of Vatican-
ism, he replies with much vigor to his op-
ponents and reasserts his previous opinions.
Songs of Our Youth is a collection of ballads
set to music, nearly all of them by Mrs. Craik.
Words and music are simple and tender, the
music being mostly selected from French,
German and Swedish songs, and some of the
best are from old English airs. The volume
is beautifully made, and in these days when
words are lost sight of in the music, it de-
serves a place on every piano. Though the
music is excellent, the poems are the main
feature of the volume. The three paper now-
els are alike deserving of praise, each excel-
lent in its way. Farjeon’s, entitled Love's
Wictory, is short, but in his best style. Mrs.
Hoey’s The Blossoming of an Aloe is original
in its plots and incidents, strong in its char-
acterization, and absorbing in interest. Mrs.
Oliphant’s book is entitled The Story of Wal-
entine and his Brother. It is certainly among
the best she has written, and with the readers
of Innocent and For Love and Life, this is very
high praise.
The latest issue in the now well-known
Bric-a-Brac Series, published by Scribner,
Armstrong & Co., is Personal Remºniscences of
Thomas Moore and William Jerdam, The por-
tion relating to Moore is taken from his Life,
Memoirs and Correspondence, by Lord John
Tussell, an eight-volume work, now out of
print. As in the other volumes of the series,
Mr. Stoddard has gleaned with admirable
taste and judgment, and every line is of inter-
est. Jerdan was for forty years editor of The
Literary Gazette, well acquainted with the
writers and notable men of his time, and in
this volume we have his best anecdotes of
them. The next volume of the series will be
the Personal Reminiscences of Cornelia Knight
and Thomas Raºkes. The latter was a corre-
spondent and friend of Greville, and his re-
miniscences begin where Greville’s leave off.
Cornelia Knight was lady companion to the
Princess Charlotte, so the volume is sure to
entertain the gossip-loving public.
volume in the valuable little Epochs of His-
tory is devoted to the period of The French
*Revolution and First Empire. The important
events of the period are clearly presented to
the reader, and a whole library of information
is contained in the unpretending little volume.
Bours ºn a Library comprises a number of lit-
erary criticisms, by Leslie Stephen, which
The new
have appeared in some of the first English
magazines. The author shows wide reading,
a keen perception, and a rare faculty of ex-
pression, and his essays have been warm-
ly praised. His subjects are De Foe's Novels;
Richardson’s Novels; Pope as a Moralist;
Mr. Elwyn's Edition of Pope; Some Words
about Sir Walter Scott ; Nathaniel Haw-
thorne ; Balsac, and De Quincey. Scribner,
Armstrong & Co. will shortly add another
volume to the controversy between Religion
and Science, being a paper by Professor Charles
W. Shields, of Princeton College, suggested
by Tyndall's famous Belfast address. The
paper has been read before the Philosophical
Society of Washington, and is said to be one
of the best short treatises on the subject yet
written. -
Elenry Holt & Co. published early in the
month a volume of Lectures on the Early Hºs-
tory of Institutions, by Sir Henry Sumner
Maine. It is a scholarly work, involving
much labor and research. Those who have
read this author's work on Ancient Law, of
which Holt & Co. have just printed a new edi-
tion, will be prepared to appreciate the new
volume. Most of the lectures are founded on
the ancient Brehen laws of Ireland, three vol-
umes of which have been translated within
the past ten years, by a commission appointed
by the government for that purpose. The
other lectures are on the early history of the
“Settled Property of Married Women,” “So-
vereignty,” and “Sovereignty and Empire,”
the last two devoted to the discussion of some
of the theories of Jeremy Bentham and John
Austin.
Robert. Carter & Brothers have published,
under the title of Wature and the Bible, the
series of lectures delivered here in December
last under the auspices of the Union Theologi-
cal Seminary, by Dr. Dawson, of the McGill
University, Montreal. No abler work of its
scope, on the relation of the Bible to the sci-
ences, has ever been printed. The author
is a lover of nature and a thorough stu-
dent and teacher of natural science, and at
the same time he is an ardent believer in the
Scriptures. He believes and teaches that the
are not antagonistic, and his lectures are well
calculated to quiet the apprehensions both of
zealous religionists and enthusiastic scientists.
They were universally admired when first
delivered and reported, and the publishers have
done well to put them in book form. The
volume is printed in good style and finely il-
lustrated by appropriate plates. Another
volume of the same nature is Dr. McCosh’s
Ideas in Nature Overlooked by Dr. Tyndall.
This is the able paper first published in the
International Review, now revised and extend-
ed by the author. The other books lately
published by the Carters are Earth’s Morming,
being thoughts on Genesis, by Dr. Bonar—ex-
positorial rather than controversial, and in
much the same style as the author's volumes
on Bible Thoughts and Themes; The Shadow

H. Mathews. The latter is the author of
the popular Bessie Books, and one of our most
entertaining writers for children.
Sheldon & Co. have published a volume of
Spurgeon’s sermons, under the title of Types
and Emblems. They are selected from those
preached on Sunday and Thursday evenings,
and on those scriptural passages in which
emblems in nature are used to describe the
attributes of the Saviour. Like all of Spur-
geon's sermons, they are eloquent and full of
originality. Sheldon & Co. will publish in a
few weeks a story of the American navy, en-
titled 1,0te Afloat. It is written by Lieuten-
ant-Commander F. H. Sheppard, The scene
is laid in the West Indies, in the days when
our navy was engaged in driving out the
pirates, and it gives a vivid picture of life on
board an American man-of-war.
James Miller has published a number of
volumes which are attracting the general at-
tention of the reading public. The first on
the list in point of size, if not the most im-
portant, is Dr. Samuel M. Smucker’s History
of the Four Georges. Though an old book, it
has been out of print so long that it possesses
all the interest of a new one. The reign of
the four Georges covered a most important
period of English history, especially impor-
tant to Americans, as it was most intimately
connected with the birth of our own govern-
ment. Dr. Smucker made himself thorough-
ly acquainted with the times of which he
wrote, and the value of his work is mainly
historical. It is made lively and pleasant
reading by anecdotes of noted people, which
give it a gossipy character. In this respect,
however, it is not so broad, but quite as en-
tertaining, and probably more reliable than
some of the other books relating to that
period. Octave Feuillet’s Romance of a Poor
Young Man, which has also been out of print
so long that but few novel-readers are familiar
with it except by name, is reprinted by Mr.
Miller in handsome style. Another old book,
which will be new to most readers, is , the
anonymous novel Thinks-I-to-Myself. It was
first published here in 1828, and had an im-
mense sale for a number of years, but the flood
of new novels has long since crowded it, not
only out of sight, but out of mind. Those who
read it to-day for the first time, will confess that
there are but few new novels more entertain-
ing.
edition of Moore's elegant prose romance of
the Epicurean, which is the only edition of
the work by itself now in existence.” It was
first published when Moore was entering his
career as a poet. In 1839 he published a po-
etic version of the story under the title of
Alciphrom, which has been highly praised, but
Mr. Miller has also printed a very meat
the prose work has generally been considered
the best. A beautiful illustrated edition was
issued in England Several years ago, but that

J. R. Osgood & Co. have added two volumes
to the much admired series of Little Classics.
IRomance, containing “Iris,” by Oliver Wen-
dell Holmes; “The Rosicrucian,” by Miss
Mulock; “The South Breaker,” by Harriet
Prescott Spofford ; “The Snow Storm,” by
John Wilson (Christopher North); and “The
King of the Glen,” by Allan Cunning-
ham ; and Mystery, containing “The Ghost.”

press,” by Amelia B. Edwards; “The Signal
Man,” by Charles Dickens; “The Haunted
Ship,” by Allen Cunningham ; “A Raft that
no Man Made,” by Robert T. S. Lowell; “The
Invisible Princess,” by Francis O'Connor;
“The Advocate's Wedding-day,” by Catharine
Crowe; and “The Birthmark,” by Nathaniel
Hawthorne. -
The Little Classics now number eight vol-
umes, and contain some of the best things in
the English language Osgood & Co. have
also published Oakridge, a story of old New
England life, which is ably portrayed, by J.
Emerson Smith ; and under the title of Castle
Nowhere a number of “Lake Country Sketch-
es,” by Constance Fenimore Woolson. Du-
ring April this house will issue a quarto
volume of heliotype illustrations of English
Mediaeval Foliage and Colored Decorations,
taken from buildings of the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries. There are seventy-six full-
page plates, and a large number of smaller
wood-cuts, with descriptive letterpress, all by
James Kellaway Colling, author of Art Foliage,
Gothic Ornaments, and a number of other
books of the kind. The work will do for
English architecture what Viollet-le-Duc's
Diction??aire Raissonné de l’Architecture JP'an-
guise has done for the art in France. Some of
the illustrations are taken from the author’s
Gothic Ormaments, as being some of the best
specimens in existence, while others are new
and are valuable as showing the transition
between the Norman and the early English
styles. Viollet-le-Duc's Discourses on Agri-
culture has been translated by Mr. Van Brunt,
an experienced architect of Boston, and will
soon be published in a large octavo, with mu-
merous illustrations. It is somewhat more"
elaborate and scientific than the pleasing Story
of a House, but will be received with no less
favor. The Story of a Fortress, by the same
author, is in press, and will be issued during

the summer. Viollet-le-Duc is an enthusiastic
writer, and is one of the best living archi.
tects, both theoretical and practical. One of
his employees says of him, “He knows every-
thing, from astronomy and geology down to
cookery, and it all comes like music from his
lips.” The other books forthcoming from
Osgood & Co. are R. Gregg's Rocks Ahead, a
critical view of the tendencies of English So-
ciety and Politics; a volume of poems by
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, the first collection
of her poetic writings; and a new volume of
Saxe's Poems, entitled Leisure Dry Rhymes,
embracing what the author has written since
his Fables and Jegends in Rhyme. Mrs.
Phelps's volume will be in the same style as
Nora Perry's After the Ball. A little later
this firm will issue a book by Wilson Flagg,
entitled Bi ds and Seasons, a companion vol-
ume to Woods and Waysides of New England,
published several years ago. A new volume
from Jules Werne is also in press, enti! led The
Chancellor. It is a story of the sea, reciting
how a party became shipwrecked, and reached
the coast of South America through their
knowledge of oceanic currents. Two more
volumes will be added to the Little Classics
during April, entitled respectively Comedy and
Childhood.
Roberts Brothers have published Christian
Belief and Life, a volume of discourses by
Professor Andrew P. Peabody, of Harvard.
They are twenty-five in number, on such sub-
jects as “Man’s Need of a Divine Revelation,”
“The Efficacy of Prayer,” etc., are able and
earnest and worthy of preservation in the
permanent form given them. The only other
new book from Roberts Brothers is Victor La
Tourette, a novel by a writer who styles him-
self “A Broad Churchman.” It possesses
some dramatic interest and incident, enough
to please, but is full of theological discussion,
and is evidently written to oppose sectarian
dogmas, and in favor of a universal church.
The author writes with much care and vigor,
and although with the purpose indicated stead-
ily in view, he subordinates it to the story,
which is on the whole a good one. Within
the next few weeks Roberts Bros. will issue
a volume on Musical Composers and Their
Works, by Sarah Tytler, uniform with The Old
Masters and Their Pictures, and Model”). Painters
and Their Paintings, Harry Blount, Philip
Gilbert Hamerton's long-announced story for
boys; a Paragraph History of the United
States; and Our Sketching Club, by Rev. R. St.
John Tyrwhitt. This is a volume of letters and
studies on landscape art, and will contain, by
permission, the letters and woodcuts in Rus-
kin's Elements of Drawing. The Paragraph
History is prepared by Rev. Edward Abbott,
editor of The Congregationalist, on a somewhat
Inovel plan. Principa, events and persons are
treated in short paragraphs, arranged chrono-
logically, with the year for a side title, and
contemporaneous events run in at the side
in smaller type. The book will be published
in a cheap 16mo, and will serve as a sort of
pocket cyclopaedia of history. -
Loring has recently added to his list a novel
by Emily Bowles, entitled In the Camargue.
It is a simple story, graphically told, contain-
ing vivid descriptions of life in that little-
known, lovely portion of France—Languedoc.
The pictures of “Argues Mortes” are quite
Eastern in their coloring, and the description
of the heroine, Noel Privas, one to enchain the
sympathies of the reader from the commence-
ment. There is an air of sadness pervading
the whole book that seems to linger even
after the story is ended, and yet such an
exquisite sadness as to induce the reader
to open the volume and read it again. Lor-
ing has nearly ready a new book by Alger,
entitled The Young Outlaw, a story of street-
boy life in New York.
Estes & Lauriat have issued Edward the
Third, a new volume in the Epochs of History,
and probably the most important in the series.
It embraces a period of half a century from
1327 to 1377, which, as the author, Rev. W.
Warburton, says, was crowded with events.
The volume contains three maps and valuable
genealogical charts. A number of paper
novels have also been issued by these pub-
lishers—Jettatrice and Fleurance, two very fair
stories, that have already appeared in The
Catholic World, and Above Suspicion, by Mrs.
J. H. Riddell, reprinted from London Society.
They have also published, in connection with
the London and Glasgow publishers, The
Globe Dictionary, a handy and very complete
12mo of about 750 pages, with five hundred
wood engravings. No. 14 of the Half-Hour
Recreations in Natural History is a learned
paper, fully illustrated, on The Glacial Epoch,
by Alexander Braun; and in part six of the
Half-Hour Recreations in Natural History, A.
S. Packard, Jr., treats very entertainingly of
The Population of an Apple Tree. -
From William F. Gill & Co. we have two
of the best books of the month, the one semi-
scientific, on a subject which makes it popular,
the other a novel by Cherbuliez. The first is
by Dr. John Gardner and is entitled Longevity;
the Means of Prolonging Jife after Middle Age.
The book has rapidly passed through three
editions in London, and has received the
highest praises from every quarter. Dr. Gard-
ner argues from a comparison of man with
other animals that the former, under proper
conditions, should live from ninety to one
hundred years. No one will dispute his asser-
tion that “many persons in advanced life
endure sufferings and die prematurely, who
might enjoy ease and comfort, and have their
lives greatly prolonged, by the exercise of
properly directed care, and the judicious use
of means within their reach.” These means
he proceeds to point out very sensibly, and in
clear, simple language he treats of the Physi-
ology of Advanced Age, Heredity, Food, Stimu-
lants and Narcotics. The diseases of advanced
life are also discussed, and specific treatment

suggested. Of the longevity of the Patriarchs,
he says: “Before the flood, men are said to
have lived five and even nine hundred years;
and as a physiologist, I can assert positively
that there is no fact reached by science to con-
tradict or render this improbable. It is more
difficult, on Scientific grounds, to explain why
lmen die at all, than to believe in the duration
of life for one thousand years.” There is an
abundance of excellent advice in the volume,
and unlike most books of the kind, it can be
read with pleasure as well as profit.
Victor Cherbuliez’s Romance of an IIonest
Woman contains all the best points of a
French novel and very few of the objection-
able ones. The heroine is a charmiug char-
acter, whose father, an antiquarian, was so
busy with his researches that he kept her
isolated from the world until she came to
womanhood. She was then brought out by
a typical woman of society and married to a
young man who had sown all his wild oats,
and who, according to the French theory, was
prepared to make a model husband. There
is jealousy and dissatisfaction, and the pair
agree to disagree and seek their pleasure as
they please, only to fall in love with each
Other again. The character drawing is ex-
cellent, and the fine touches of the author
are admirably preserved by the translator.
Gill & Co. will publish in a few days, Wilkie
Collins' Alicia Wurlock, and they have in press
Arsene Houssaye's Letters on Life in Paris,
which have appeared in the W. Y. Th’ibune.
They are witty and full of animation, and the
many who have admired them in the columns
of the Tribune will be glad to have them col-
lected.
Lee & Shepard will publish in a few weeks,
The Morals of Abou Ben Adhem, a running
satire on American Society and customs, by
D. R. Locke, Uetter known as Petroleum V.
Nasby. The “Morals" are found in the dis-
courses given as advice to those who consult
him, by a shrewd fellow from Maine, who
passes himself off in New Jersey as a Persian
sorcerer and philosopher, who was born be-
1ore Noah, etc. The volume is full of droll
hits and genuine humor. Lee & Shepard have
also in pless a new volume of essays by Geo.
H. Calvart, the author of Jo an ºf Arc and
Brief Essays &nd JBrévities.
James Campbell has recently published an
important work on Physiology, being a course
of lectures delivered by Professor Küss, at the
University of Strasbourg. They are edited
by Dr. Mathias Duval, Of Paris, and translated
by Dr. Robert Amory, formerly Professor of
Physio;ogy at the Medical School of Maine.
The work is elaborate and thorough, and illus-
trated by one hundred and fifty woodcuts.
lt has already been adopted by the Medical
School at Harvard, and is, by the way, the
only book published in Massachusetts that is
used in that school. Campbell has also recently
published Re (gio v and Science, by Stephen M.
Allen, the autpor of The Actien Theoſ', , and
&
other books. The most of the volume has ap-
peared in letters, under the name of “Alpha,”
in the Boston Transcript. It is throughout
an argument against the atheistic tendencies
of late scientific teachings. The author holds
that material as well as mental Science is de-
pendent upon spirit for its active force, and that
“lite forces” in nature may be accounted for
much earlier than scientists teach. The argu-
ments are somewhat discursive, but able and
always earnest in support of religion.
Henry Hoyt has issued Ow, Guy, by Mrs. E.
E. Boyd, aud two books by Geo E Sargent,
who writes delightfully for children. His
Story of the Pocket Bible is remembered as one
of the best books for children eyer printed.
The new books from his pen are The Faithful
Syn, and The Poor Clerk, and the Crooked Sia:-
pence, the latter a wholesome, heipful book
for boys. The Viking Iſel , also a good story
for boys, by Mrs. S. F. Keene, is nearly ready
for issue, and Mr. Hoyt has in preparation a
.book of selections in poetry and prose for
concert exercises in Sunday-schools, with a
number of original exºrcises designed to bring
into use cards and blocks.

PIIILADELPHIA, April 1, 1875.
The weather duriug the month, which has
been of unusual severity, has had the effect of
retarding our spring trade, and although there
is at present a little activity observable in
our jobbing houses, business is far from good.
Unless our publishers have occasion to change
their present views and plans, they will print
fewer new books this season than last year,
which was far from prolific. The change in
the postal law, doubling the rates on third-
ciass matter, was enforced here without any
preliminary notice and met with a prompt
protest to the department, signed not only by
our book-publishers, but also very generally
by booksellers and publishers of music and
periodicals.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger issued
early in the month the new Episcopal Hymn
Book, the revised edition adopted by the Gen-
eral Convention last fall ; Syckelmoore's Hand-
book of Puiladelphia, an illustrated guide to
the city and its surroundings, with descrip-
tions of principal buildings and places of in-
terest ; and Secrets of the Sanctum, an inside
view of an editor's life, by A. F. Hill. The
latter is a very entertaining volume, in which
much practical instruction to beginners is
interspersed with laughable anecdotes and
reminiscences. The author writes fluently of
every phase of newspaper life and of all kinds
of work in and about a newspaper editor's
office. Not only editing proper, but reporting,
interviewing, book-reviewing, dead-heading,
and a dozen other topics Serve to make the
volume interesting. Even the compositors
and pressmen come in for their share of at-
tention, and proof-reading and the marks
used in correcting are fully illustrated. Cla X

ton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have nearly ready
a volume of more than ordinary interest, en-
titled My Danish Jays, written by Mr. H. L.
Griffin, for a time U. S. consul at Copenhagen.
It is a chatty volume, giving an insight into
the politics and social life of Denmark.
J. B. Lippincott & Co’s issues for the month
are The Fºr Puritan, by Henry William Her-
º: (Flank Forester); Derry’s School History
of the United States; the second volume of
Prescott's Charles V., Dombey & S m, in two
volumes, in the new standard edition of Dick-
ens; and new editions of George Ticknor's
Life of Prescot ; Breaking a Butterfly, by the
author of Guy Livings. one ; and Was She
Jim aged, by Jonquil. The Fair Puritam is an
historical story of the days of witchcraft in
New England, and a number of the characters'
are veritable personages who figure in the
history of the colony. The story is well writ-
ten, in a style that is at once bold and elegant.
and the incidents have all the semblance of
reality. We are told in the preface that the
novel was written and stereotyped nearly
twenty years ago, but during the business
troubles of 1857 the plates were mislaid and
are just now found. This is all the more
singular from the fact that it is one of the au-
thor’s best novels, and the only one, we believe,
in which the scenes are laid in America. Was
She Engaged and Breuking a But emfly are new
to most novel-readers, and are both worthy of
attention. “Jonquil,” the author of the former
book, is lively and entertaining, and excels in
the delineation of society life. Early in April,
Lippincott & Co. will publish a work on The
ſºccent Or, gin ºf M. 17, by James C. Southall ;
and Fears for Democracy, a sharp criticism on
the political tendencies of the times, by Charles
Ingersoll. -
Porter & Coates have published part first of
a work on Elementary Philosophy, by James
M. Willcox, Ph.D. This first volume is de-
voted to Logic, the principles of which are set
forth with much ability. We infer from it
that the author’s intention in this part of his
work was to lay a basis for an intended argu-
ment against skepticism in religious thought.
He says in his pre!ace that “ loose intellectual
speculation is not the solid Christian Philoso-
phy, the accurate and enlightened thought,
that has withstood materialistic and skeptical
degradation for many centuries. The fierce
assaults of these upon society have recently
grown fiercer, their allurements more insidi-
ous than ever ; and where men vary as much
as we do in theological creeds, it becomes us
to present a solid wall of Christian Philosophy
in defense of our common Christianity. Thé
volume concludes with an admirable paper on
the “ Divisions and Definition of Sciences.”
Raterfelto is a new novel by G. J. Whyte
Melville, just issued by Porter & Coates.
The author is most favorably known as the
author of JDigby Grand, and IIolmsby House,
both of which works are excelled by Jötterf. lto

which belong to the past century. The title
of the book is taken from the name of a horse,
who rivaled “ Black Bess” in good qualities,
and who was called after the famous quack
and sorcerer, Dr. Katerfel to, who also figures
in the story. Every page has its interest, and
the scenes, whether of the London Club
House, the wild Gipsy Camp, the dashing stag-
hunt, or the quieter love-making under the
apple trees, by Porlock Bay, are depicted by a
master hand, and linger with the reader long
after the book is closed. The next novel in
the International Series will be Oldbury, by
Annie Keary, which has been highly praised.
in England, where it has already appeared.
Porter & Coates will issue it here at an early
day. They will also issue in April The Better
Self, a series of essays similar in character to
The Gentle Life, and by the same author.
John E. Potter & Co. have added to their
Douay Bible one hundred and thirty pages of
“History of the 'Holy Catholic Bible,” con-
taining an account of the original text, both
Hebrew and Greek, the Septuagint, the Latin
Vulgate, and, the Douay Version. It is ably
edited by the Rev. Dr. Ignatius F. Horstmann,
of the Seminary of St. Charles Borromeo, and ,
is beautifully illustrated. The Bible Encyclo-
pedia will be completed in a few weeks, when
it will be bound in two and in three volumes.
Henry C. Lea will publish in a few days a
work on Diet in Health and Disease, by Dr. T.
K. Chambers of London. Although written
for the profession, it has an interest for the
general reader. The topics are treated in a
simple, practical manner, all technicalities not
absolutely essential to the work being care-
fully avoided. The contents embrace Choice
and Preparation of food, Regimen for mother-
hood, infancy, commercial life, literary life,
athletic training, etc., and the proper regimen
Dr. Chambers is a .
pleasing as well as a learned writer, and his
books have had a large sale.
T. B. Peterson & Bros. have issued The
Pirate, in their new cheap edition of Sir
Walter Scott’s works; The Discarded Wife; or,
Will She Succeed 3 a novel by Mrs. Eliza A.
Dupuy, whose, complete works they offer in
thirteen volumes; and The Spéctre Lover, a
new story by Mrs. Southworth. The latter is a
strange narrative of peculiar interest, and
though short, is probably one of the author's
best. In the same volume with it are a num-
ber of brief stories by Mrs. Frances H. Baden,
Mrs. Southworth’s sister. They are all read-
able and several show marked ability. For
April, the Petersons announce The Hºtunted
Tower, another new story from Mrs. Henry
Wood, to be printed here from the author's
manuscript ; and a new novel by the popular
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, entitled Bertha's En-
gagement. Gossip of court secrets has become
so popular of late that Peterson & Bros. will
print new editions of Ainsworth’s two books
The Mysteries of the Court of the Stuarts and
The Mysteries of the Court of Queen Anne.

SIR ARTHUR HELPs.
The news of the death of this eminent
man has caused throughout the English-
speaking world a feeling of genuine sorrow. He
was a most varied writer, and almost always
a successful one. Novels, dramas, poems,
essays, histories flowed from the tips of his
nimble pen with incredible rapidity. Born
early in the present century, Arthur Helps be-
gan to write when still a very young man.
His first book was written at Cambridge when
he was a lad of eighteen ; its title is “Thoughts
in the Cloister and the Crowd.”
It is rather curious to note that several wri
ters on Helps have in their obituary notices of
him fallen into Allibone's blunder, and make
him an Oxonian instead of a graduate of Cann-
bridge. He graduated at Trinity College,
Cambridge, in 1835 as a Bachelor, and in 1839
as Master of Arts. His father was Mr. Thomas
Helps, of Balham Hill, Surrey, a gentleman of
ordinary social position. *
Young Helps, on leaving college, early em-
braced public life, and was soon busily engaged
in affairs either as secretary to some active and
leading politician, or later as clerk of the Privy
Notwithstanding his arduous duties,
he found time to do much literary work, and
in 1841 published a remarkably clever book
entitled “Essays Written During the Hours of
Business.” This work was compiled whilst
the author was acting as private secretary to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In 1843 ap-
peared a drama entitled “King Henry,” and a
tragedy, “Katharine Douglas.” The “Claims
of Lapor” followed these, and in 1851 appeared
his two best books—“Friends in Council” and
the “Companions of my Solitude.”
' The subject of slavery being made promi-
ment in England by the appearance of Mrs.
Stowe’s “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” Mr. Helps's at-
tention was directed to that topic, and he com-
piled two remarkable books on American
history, “The Conquerors of the New World’’
and “The Spanish Conquest of America.” In
these he traces the rise of negro slavery in
this country and narrates the many schemes
for its abolition which had been presented.
He next issued biographies of Columbus,
Cortez, and Pizarro. In 1858 he gave the
world his tragedy of “Outlita the Serf.”
From 1858 to 1870 Sir Arthur abandoned his
pen, and it was riot until the autumn of the
last-named year that he published anything.
The books he lyas published since this long
silence are “Casimir Maremma,” the “Brevia,”
“Ivan de Biron,” and “Some Talk About Ani-
mals.” He also compiled in 1873 a fine biog-
raphy of Thomas Brassey, whose great honesty
and rare administrative talents he could well
appreciate.
“Social Pressure,” a philosophical work of
considerable merit.
As a novelist it cannot be said Sir Arthur
was a successful writer. He was too much of
a philosopher to be a good story-teller. As a
for social improvement.
Just before his death appeared
dramatist he was inferior to the second-
rate writers of this class; but as an essayist he
holds a high rank, and his “Friends in Coun-
cil,” “Essays Written During the Intervals
of Business,” and “Companions of my Soli-
tude ’’ will carry his name down to posterity
as that of one of the most remarkable writers
of the century. “Friends in Council” was
written while the author was secretary to
Lord Morpeth, a member of Lord Russel}'s
first ministry. The chief “friends” are the
practical lawyer Ellesmere, cynical as a critic,
but with a kind heart skillfully veiled under
a pretense of utter indifference; Dunsford, a
quiet, bookish man, who loves a country life,
and whose favorite author is Virgil; and Mil-
verton (the author himself), full of schemes
Their conversations
fill up the book, which is one of the best of
its kind in our language.
This author's style is graceful, fluent,
and elegant, and he uses the purest Eng-
lish, preferring throughout words of Saxon
to those of Latin derivation. There is no
superfluity in his sentences. What he means
to say he says in the fewest and best-chosen
words. His books will always be favorites
with those who prefer quiet and gentle
reading to the gaudy clap-trap style which is
only too prevalent at present. As a politician
he was unusually honest. When Secretary of
State for Ireland he enjoyed much popularity,
and as clerk of the Privy Council he was high
in Her Majesty’s favor; so highly did she
esteem him, that he is well known to have as-
sisted her in preparing for the press her own
interesting “Leaves from the Journal of our
Lives in the Highlands.” He was knighted
in 1872. In society he had a very wide popu-
larity, which he deserved, as he was gifted
with a fine presence, charming manners, and
an agreeable power of conversation.
------—sº º---—
SIR £HARLEs LYELL, BART.
Sir Charles Lyell, whose recent death has
caused a vacancy in the ranks of scientific writ-
ers, was born on November 14, 1797, at his fath-
er’s estate of Kinmordy, in Fofarshire, Scotland.
At an early age he developed a love for the
study of the earth's formation, and as early as
1825 published an essay in the ſºdºmburgh Jour-
mal of Science, “On the Dike of Serpentine in
the County of Forfar.” He received his educa-
tion at Medhurst, in Sussex, and in 1818 entered
Exeter College, Oxford, where he took his
M.A. in 1821. He was scarcely a popular man
at the university, doubtless owing to his
very “advanced ” views on theological sub-
jects and also on geological matters, which
were totally at variance with the then re-
ceived notions of that great institution, which
has ever been the most orthodox of the twin
universities. On leaving college, Mr. Lyell
went to London, where he studied for the bar ;
but Dr. Bueland, lecturer on geology at Oxford,

so charmed the young barrister, that on the
opening of King's College he accepted the
Chair of Geology and abandoned forever his
legal studies. In 1830 he published his first
volume of “Principles of Geology,” undoubt-
edly one of the most remarkable books of the
kind ever written. It has passed through
eleven editions, and the twelfth is but now
ready, having been revised by its illustrious
&uthor during his last illness. Next in suc-
cession Sir Charles published his famous
“Elements of Geology,” “Manual of Element-
ary Geology,” and a “Student's Manual of Ele-
mentary Geology.” These great works have
been translated into the various languages
of Europe and have passed through many edi-
tions in America. They are written in a
clear, brilliant, and lively style, which is emi-
nently calculated to make them popular with
the young and with non-scientific persons.
At the same time they contain so much that
is original and replete with profound re-
search, that the learned have accorded them a
high position in their estimation.
Perhaps the most valuable, though the least
popular of Lyell’s works, is his classification
of the tertiary strata. He classed all the
tertiary formations into three separate groups,
each marked by a definite relation between
the percentage of recent and fossil shells.
In this undertaking Lyell was assisted by
Monsieur Deshayes, the great French geolo-
gist, and between them they drew up com-
parative tables of the mollusca in the several
beds of the London and Paris basins, and sep-
arated, in so doing, the extinct from the exist.
jug living creatures. This led him to divide
the tertiary strata into eocene, miocene, and
pliocene, names which have been retained by
all luodern geologists ever since.
In 1841 Sir Charles Lyell visited America,
and lectured at Boston with great success.
He also extended his tour to the St. Law-
rence and to the mouth of the Mississippi.
On his return to England he published a
very diverting account of this journey, under
the title “My Travels in North Ameri.
ca,” and a few years later, on his second re-
turn from a trip to these shores, he gave the
world his account of his “Second Visit to the
United States.” In 1863 he published the re-
sult of his researches concerning the age of
the human race, “The Antiquity of Man,” a
volume which produced a vast sensation and
was severely attacked by the churchmen of
all denominations.
In recognition of his great labors and their
exceeding value, Lyell was created a baronet
fin 1864, at the instance of Lord Palmerston.
He was a member of the Royal Society, and
twice President of the British Geological Soci-
ety. He was also a member of many of the va-
rious learned societies of Europe and America.
Few men have been more beloved in pri-
vate life than Lyell by a large circle of friends.
He was gentle and amiable in the extreme,
and his noble presence was for years one of
the most attractive ornaments of the best
Society in London. To the last he retained
his powerful memory and self-possession,
both most necessary qualities in a scientific
man, who is ever so liable to be bitterly at-
tacked either by those who dread the advance
of science, or those who “rush where angels
fear to tread.” - -
AN ENGLISH OPINION of AMERICAN J.Aw-
Rooks
A late number of the London Lavo Times
says, in a review of Wharton’s Law of Negli-
gence : “When we look at our unpretending
little treatises on the law of negligence, it is
difficult to believe that a ponderous tome on
the same subject could be usefully compiled.
But if we mistake not, Mr. Wharton occupies
a far more extended field than our English
writers. We must here remark that we be-
lieve the reason why American legal literature
has attained to such excellence is that so
many American lawyers write from sheer love
of study, publication being a secondary con-
sideration. English lawyers too often, we
fear, write to make themselves known ; and in
pursuit of this one object, they miss, perhaps,
a reputation which they might have acquired
had they been less hasty in writing, or not
written at all. It is frequently deplorable to
contemplate the trumpery brochures which are
issued from the press with the author’s name
conspicuously gilt-lettered upon every avail-
able part of the cover, and it is scarcely com-
prehensible how educated men can put to sea
in such ridiculous cockle-shells.”
Of Hilliard’s Law of Injunctions, the Times
says: “Much ingenuity has been exercised by
text-writers on this branch of the law. The .
works of Kerr and Joyce are familiar to all
lawyers, the latter having swept together .
English as well as American cases. For the
latter cases Mr. Joyce was indebted to the
work before us—a circumstance which we did
not notice when we reviewed Mr. Joyce’s
work; had we dome so we should have express-
ed the opinion that the practice of taking
from one text-writer his version of decided
cases, and his deductions from them, is calcu-
lated to have a very mischievous tendency,
and to produce a repetition of blunders which
every text-writer is liable to make in inter-
preting case law. The ordinary class of text-
book should not be written unless the author
is prepared to go to the source of the law for
himself—those portions which an author pro-
poses to take second-hand he had far better
leave alone. Moreover, it is doubtful whether
the proceeding is altogether fair, for, Thad not
Mr. Joyce borrowed from Mr. Hilliard, Eng-
lish lawyers might have thought it expedient
to buy Mr. Hilliard’s book. But as it is, Mr.
Hilliard is worth purchasing, his arrangement
being clear, and, as far as possible, scientific—
to use a much-abused word.

£NGLISH CoPYRIGHT.
A meeting of authors, at which Mr. Tom
Taylor presided, was held in London, March
1st, to discuss the subject of copyright. Mr.
Joseph Hutton, who is engaged in a lawsuit on
the subject of one of his novels, which he re-
printed from a magazine without asking the
consent of the proprietors to his doing so,
wished a law to be passed for securing to the
authors of articles, poems, and tales of all
kinds contributed to magazines, the exclusive
right of republishing them. A gentleman who
had brought out a book on what is called
the “half-profit ’’ system, and had been in-
formed in due time by his publisher that there
were no profits, thought publishers ought to
be bound by law to print for authors and fur-
nish paper for their works at trade price.
Mr. Jenkins thought that authors could save
themselves much trouble and secure the
largest profits by selling outright to publish-
ers, and retaining no interest in the copyright.
The London correspondent of the N. Y. Times,
referring to the meeting, says: “The most
distinguished author, and at the same time
the best man of business among those gentle-
men who have undertaken to procure a re-
form in the copyright laws, is Mr. Charles
Reade. In his early days Mr. Reade brought
out Never Too Late to Mend, on the half-profit
system (no-profit system it might just as well
be called); and when that most successful
book, published at a high price, had sold by
thousands, received as his share of the profits
£10 Since then he has tried publishing in
every variety of form, besides selling his
books for immense sums to publishers, which
is undoubtedly the best mode of publishing
for an author ; and there is no clause in any
Copyright act, nor any trick of the publishing
trade, with which he is not perfectly acquaint-
ed. Mr. Reade advises that a society of
authors be formed for the purpose of watch-
ing over and protecting literary rights in
general; and this idea will, no doubt, be
carried out. Meanwhile, it is proposed that
Mr. Jenkins (author of Gina's Baby and other
works, and Member of Parliament for Dundee)
shall bring in a bill for securing to English
novelists the right of dramatizing their own
works, and to French dramatists greater facili.
ties than they now possess for securing acting
and publishing rights in England.”

THE NEw Postal JLAw,
The recent act of Congress, doubling the
rates of postage on third-class matter, creates
much dissatisfaction. It is charged that it
was hurried through during the closing hours
of Congress, without discussion, and that it
was passed through the influence of the ex-
press companies, who will be the only parties
benefited by it. For so important a measure,
it certainly received but little attention in
| class matter.
last, a due notice of several months was given the com-
Congress, and many of those most largely in-
terested knew nothing of it until it had be-
come a law. The following is a copy of the

Early in the month the following paper,
signed by all the publishers and booksellers
of Philadelphia, was forwarded to the Post-
master-General :
HON. MARSHALL JEWELL,
Postmaster General :
Dear Sir–The undersigned, representatives of the
publishing and bookselling interests of Philadelphia,
would respectfully call your attention to the injustice of
the new postal rates on third-class matter, that have just
been authorized by Congress, having been pushed through
a few hours before their adjournment, and before any
protest could be entered against it.
Among the many business interests, that of publishing
and bookselling is most injuriously affected by the sud-
den alteration of the postal laws regulating the rate of
postage on articles enumerated under the head of third-
When the rates were reduced in July
munity, and ample time allowed business men to regulate
their prices and to enter into new arrangements for a
more vigorous prosecution of trade by advertising,
which this most welcome reduction in postage rendered
possible. After making heavy expenditures for paper
and printing, they suddenly and without warning find
themselves called on for one hundred per cent. additional
postage, necessitating the abandonment of enterprises
in hand, or their continuance at considerable loss.
This sudden and unexpected burden comes, too, in the
face of a depressed condition of trade such as has not

been felt since the years 1862-63, when the breaking out
of the war cast a gloom over the business interests of
the community, and is forced on us by an act rushed
through at the last hours of the session, without a chance
for remonstrance from those most interested in its en-
forcement. . &
The publishing and bookselling trade in this city, and
without doubt, elsewhere, while wishing, of course, to
have their postage as low- as possible, are nevertheless
Willing to pay what is right and proper, but unanimously
protest against the injustice of suddenly increasing the
rates without any notification whatever, and trust that
if anything can be done in the matter they may have
the benefit of your influence in their favor.

£oRRESPONDENCE.
I’BILADELPHIA, March 2, 1875.
Iºditor of the American Booksellers' Guide :
The article in a late number of your excellent serial
entitled “No Discount Iºxcept to the Trade,” has the
true doctrine in every respect, and if our underselling
publishers and booksellers will re-read and ponder over
it oarefully, they cannot fail to sce that the only honor-
able course they can pursue is to refuse all discounts
except to the trade—meaning by this, those who buy to
sell again. I advocated this doctrine in my Trade List
Circular in 1869, went to the first booksellers' convention
in Cincinnati, and afterwards at Put-in-Bay, with no
personal ax to grind, but as a duty one bookseller owes
to another, to urge the passage of resolutions advocating
that it was dishonorable for publishers or jobbers to sell to
and then undersell their own customers. At the Put-in-
Bay convention it was esteemed impracticable at the
present time, while the book trade was so prostrate, and
yet their action not only did not relieve, but really de-
pressed the business. The true plan at such a gathering
was to take decided, not compromise, measures to protect
those who bought with a view of selling again. Had this
been done, a bookseller in any of our cities, instead of
ordering one copy to supply a casual call, would order
ten or twenty-five of a popular book, and the publishing
and the bookselling interests would have been very dif-
ferent from what they now are.
Why cannot an underselling publisher and jobber un-
derstand that a lawyer wanting a $7.50 book, from which
he can glean facts that will yield him a fifty-dollar fee;
or a doctor, wanting a similar priced book, touching a
case of life and death, for which he is paid liberally; or a
professor, who must have the latest work on the subject
he writes or lectures on, no matter what it costs, will as
willingly pay the full price as they will twenty per cent.
lºss. In most instances they do not ask it, and if offered
they simply accept it; and yet, if the bookseller desires
the lawyer's or doctor's services, or desires to send his
children to school to the party to whom he has given
twenty per cent. off, they would not allow him any dis.
count. and no decent bookseller would for a moment Sug-
gest it. Why is it not a parallel case?
Some will say lawyers doctors, clergymen, etc.,
have to give years of study to fit them for their work.
Does not every bookseller have to do the same? Their
study is as endless as any professional man, and yet they
are not, on the average, as well paid. Let us all look the
matter right in the face, and these views will be seen to
be sound. Let us, by all means, do what is right and
homorable, and not degrade ourselves to effect a sale and
make a pitiful pittanee. Let us tell our customers who
are out of the trade that when we buy of them we do not
think of asking a discount, and when they buy of us we
cannot afford to give a discount, and we will then do a
square business and make money. -
Yours, HOWARD CEIALLEN.

Iºditor of the American Booksellers' Guide :
We are very much pleased with your article in a late
number of the GUIDE, on “The News Trade and Sub-
scriptions.” We think it is full time that publishers
should be informed in regard to what the “trade” think
about their unfair manner of doing business, and we are
glad to see that there is some one who has the independ-
ence to tell them of their injustice. The News Trade
ought to combine and make some arrangements to bring
publishers to their senses. In a small way the “trade”
of this town do so, inasmuch as they try to push the pub-
lications of those publishers who do not run the club and
premium system, and as a consequence there are more
“Scribner's" and “St. Nicholas” sold than any other
magazines. Hoping that you will favor the much-abused
News Trade with more articles on the subject, we re-
Imain, Very respectfully yours,
CREW & MORGAN.

two galops of more than ordinary merit. The
Argonauta Galop, by Fred. Schilling, is full
of sparkle and life, and in the hands of good
players cannot fail to win high praise. Request
Galop, by L. S. Revius, is also bright and lively,
in excellent time, and will become a favorite.
The School Friend is a new graded text-book
of music for primary, intermediate, and gram-
mar schools, just issued by White, Smith & Co.
It is prepared by W. F. Heath, a teacher of
music in the public schools of Fort Wayne,
Ind., and the exercises have all been tested in
the school-room. The songs, though selected
for singing by note, are pretty, and well adapt-
ed for rote singing.
, Among the latest publications of White,
Smith & Co., are La Jolie Panfumeuse, Pot-
pourri Mélodies Variées, a collection of the best
airs in Offenbach’s opera, admirably arranged
in mazurka, polka and march time, by Charles
D. Blake ; Little Feet Have Crossed the River, a
song and chorus, with touching words and
simple and appropriate melody; and Angelic
Flands Shall Guide Thée, a pretty arrangement,
with brilliant väriations, by E. O. Snow.
Lee & Walker have in press a collection of
Catholic music, compiled by A. H. Rosewig,
and entitled Cantus Divinus. It comprises
about three hundred pages of masses, re-
quiems, vespers, and a variety of selections
suitable for church choirs and seminaries.
G. D. Russell & Co. have issued the first part
of a series of Fifty Seclected Piano Studies, by
J. B. Cramer, to be completed in four parts.
They comprise the best of Cramer's eighty-
four studies, are edited by Dr. Hans Von Bülow,
with expression marks and fingering and text
instruction. The revision was originally made
for the students in the Royal Conservatory at
Munich. -
Russell & Co. are publishing a series of
Progressive Piano-Forte Studies by Loeschborn,
written especially for advanced players, and
designed to familiarize difficult fingering.
For less experienced players they are pre-
paring a series of studies in three books, by J.
B. Duvernoy. The first book is for little hands,
the second moderately difficult, and the third,
characteristic studies.

The Station E. R.Y MARKET,
Business so far has been light for the season, but is improving constantly, each week being better than the preced.
ing One.
The disturbance in the gold market has had a tendency to stiſſen prices of imported goods, while the prices
of domestic goods have generally remained unchanged. The latter have probably reached their lowest figure, and an
advance may be expected rather than a ſurther decline.

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. Iſ the ſollowing rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence ; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all mew publications to ovr dealers, whless
they order ws not to do so. We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.-Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—Wo inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express ; to others we mail bills once a week.

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility... You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale priee
per this list, to cover one week’s papers) similar to this form :

POPULAR SYSTEM OF DRAWING.

EXAMINE IT.
ADAPTED TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL SCHOOLS,
It is the only complete graded course published. It is the only system so plain and practical that it can be

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
(Established May, 1872.
CONDUCTED BY PROF. E. L. YOUMANs.
THE POPULAR SCIENCE MonTELY was started to promote the diffusion of valuable scientific knowledge in a
readable and attractive form; among all classes of the community, and has thus far met a want supplied by no
other periodical in the United States. -
The great feature of the magazine is, that its contents are not what science was ten or more years since, but
what it is to-day, fresh from the study, the laboratory, and the experiment; clothed in the language of the authors,
inventors, and scientists themselves, which comprise the leading minds of England, France, Germany, and the
TJnited States.
THE POPULAR SCIENCE MonTHLY is published in a large octavo, handsomely printed on clear type, and, when
the subject admits, fully illustrated. Each number contains 128 pages.

THE Book MARKET
NEW YORK, May 1, 1875.
The good feeling that prevailed among pub-
lishers and booksellers early in the month is
succeeded by disappointment, not that business
is lighter or prospects gloomier now than then,
but an impression largely prevailed that only
the opening of spring was wanted to bring a
rush of business; and now that spring has
not brought activity, there is a reaction in
business circles, and a less hopeful feeling
prevails. But there is no occasion to be dis-
couraged. Prospects are really brighter than
they were a year ago, and an early spring
would undoubtedly have brought a fair trade;
but the lateness of the season has thrown
what should be a spring trade so far into the
summer, that no increased activity in the book
trade need be expected till fall. The spring
trade sale was held early in the month. There
was a good attendance, and books brought
better prices than are usual at a spring sale.
Both the good attendance and the good prices
may probably be accounted for by the fact
that is generally understood, that no sale will
be held in the fall, this being announced as
the last. To be sure the trade fair is to be
held in July, but bargains will not be so easily
secured there as at an auction sale. The
month has brought a goodly number of new
books, but many of them have been so long on
the way that their praises have been sounded
again and again.
Harper & Brothers have published Moham-
med amd Mohammedism, being lectures deliver-
ed a year ago at the Royal Institution of Great
Britain, by R. Bosworth Smith, late Fellow at
Trinity College, Oxford; the third volume of
Ringlake’s Invasion of the Crimea; the Annual
Record of Science and Industry for 1874; and
two paper novels, Mr. Vaughn’s Heir, by Frank
Lee Benedict, and Safely Married, by the
author of Caste. Mr. Benedict’s novel is de-
cidedly a good one, of great dramatic power,
and crowded with incidents. The plot is in-
genious and absorbing, but well worked out,
and the characters present enough of the good
and enough of the bad to make half a dozen
sensational stories. The many admirers of
Mr. Benedict’s novels will probably pronounce
this his best. Safely Man"ried is a story of
married life made unhappy by mistakes and
jealousies. The characters are more naughty
than wicked, and more weak than sinful. It
is quite original in conception, and well writ-
ten. The Annual Record of Science and In-
dustry for 1874 is, like the previous volumes,
prepared by Prof. Baird, of the Smithsonian
Institution, assisted by some of our ablest
scientists. It is a very useful record of indus-
trial and scientific progress.
of King lake's Invasion of the Crimea is devoted
to the battle of Inkerman, and is the most in-
teresting of the three volumes. The London
Athenæum says, under the hand of the author,
“the most confused battle in history becomes
comparatively easy to understand.” Mr. Smith's
lectures on Mohammed and Mohammedism, are
clear and vigorous, and all the more valuable
for their justness and impartiality. While
eminently christian in spirit, the author is
almost enthusiastic in his appreciation of the
character of the great teacher, and of the good
work that has been done by the religion which
sways so large a portion of the human race. It
is probably not only the fairest, but the ablest
exposition of Mohammedan belief yet printed.
The Harpers will issue at an early day Bishop
Haven’s book on Mexico; a novel by Katharine
King, entitled, Our Detachment; and Rape of
Gamp, by C. Welsh Mason.
D. Appleton & Co. have published a scien-
tific work on Fungi : Their Nature and Uses,
by M. C. Cooke, with more than a hundred illus-
trations; and a profusely illustrated volume of
The Chemistry of Light and Photography, by
Dr. Hermann Vogel, of Berlin. Both of these
are published in the heavy International
Scientific Series. A number of other scien-
tific books have been issued by this house, no
less important, but written for the unprofes-
sional reader. Among them are a science
primer on Astronomy, by J. Norman Lockyer,

in which he illustrates, by simple experiments,
the motions of the heavenly bodies, and other
facts. Boys and Girls in Biology is the title of
a book based upon the latest lectures of Prof.
Huxley, written by Sarah Hackett Stevenson,
in an attempt to interest young people in the
study of the lower forms of life. The attempt
is well carried out, and not only young peo-
ple, but many older people will get from the
book a very good idea of the first principles
of this comparatively new science, and have
their appetites whetted for more knowledge on
the subject. Nature and Life is translated
from the French of Edward Papillon. It is a
volume of essays in untechnical language,
embodying the latest discoveries in physics
and chemistry. In the Popular Science Li-
brary we have an Outline of the Evolution
Philosophy, translated from the French of Dr.
M. E. Cazelles, by Rev. O. B. Frothingham.
General Sherman’s work is nearly ready, and
will appear in a few days, in two volumes.
It is not a complete autobiography, having to
deal less with the author than with the public
events with which he was connected. It
begins with his appointment as second lieuten-
ant in the army in 1840, and about one-fifth of
the work only relates to events prior to the
beginning of the war. It is thought that the
work will disclose some things not before
made public and that it will provoke much
criticism. However that may be, it will no
doubt be an important contribution to the
history of the war.
Henry Holt & Co. have published, under the
title of English Portraits, a translation of a
number of Sainte-Beuve's critical sketches of
noted people. The author has an almost won-
derful genius for delineating character, and
his pen-pictures are as nearly perfect as pos-
sible. Another novel from Mrs. Alexander,
entitled Ralph Wilton's Weird, is published in
the Leisure Hour Series. It is one of the
prettiest love stories we have ever read. There
is but little plot and but few characters, but
the prominent ones are very pleasant acquaint-
ances, and the story is full of those little
artistic touches which are more easily admired
than described, and which characterize all of
Mrs. Alexander’s works. Another volume in
this series is just ready, with the laconic title
Mr. Smith, by L. B. Walford. It was published
in London some time ago, and met with great
favor. Taine's Notes on Paris, elegantly
printed and bound, is just ready. This is a
delicately humorous book of observations on
French society, presenting very amusingly,
but with much good sense, its follies and
foibles. The penetration of the critic, the
elegance, which the author displays in his
other writings, and a keen sense of the humor.
ous, have been freely drawn upon to make a
most enjoyable book. It purports to be the
‘‘ Life and Opinions of Frederic Thomas
Graindorge,” special partner of Graindorge &
Co., oils and salt pork, collected by Mr. Taine,
as his executor. • ---
G. P. Putnam’s Sons have become the pub-
lishers of the Rev. O. B. Frothingham’s ser-
mons and writings, and have issued a new
revised edition of his Religion of Humanity.
New editions of his other works will also be
issued, and his sermons are to be printed
semi-monthly. The first volume of the series
of Brief Biographies has been issued in a
handsome large square 16mo of 360 pages,
prepared by Mr. T. W. Higginson. This series,
condensing the important parts of many vol-
umes into one, promises to be very handy and .
useful. This initial volume is devoted to
English Statesmen, and contains extended
sketches of Gladstone and Disraeli, and of
sixteen of their associates. Many prominent
statesmen are omitted from this volume, but
will be sketched in the next, to embrace the
English Radical Leaders. Seves Throughout Na-
ture, by Antoinette Brown Blackwell, com-
prises papers on “Sex and Evolution,” “The
Trial by Science,” “The Alleged Antagonism
between Growth and Reproduction,” “Sex
and Work,” and the “Building of a Brain.”
The last three have been printed before, the
others are new. They are all prepared with
much care, and should command attention.
How to Make a Living, by George Cary Eggles-
ton, is an eminently practical book, and the
reader will find in it many wise suggestions
and much sound advice on The Value of
Money, The Duty and Danger of Making
Money, The Choice of a Business, Marriage
and Business, How to Live on Your Income,
What to do with Savings, Life Insurance,
etc. That useful volume to book-buyers, The
Best Reading, has been revised and brought
down to a later date. Though not perfect
even in “best reading,” the care with which
it is compiled makes it more useful to the
librarian or collector than a complete cata-
logue. -
From A. D. F. Randolph & Co. we have the
fifth volume of The Biblical Museum, contain-
ing the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Seven
General Epistles, and Revelation. Sunday-
school teachers and Bible students will find
these volumes of great service. The other
new books from Randolph & Co. are a second
edition of Katharine S. Macquoid's Through
Normandy, and an Oxford prize essay on
The Philosophy of Natural Theology. The
former, though an excellent guide-book to the
picturesque towns and interesting points of
Normandy, is also something more, contain-
ing much interesting historical fact and le-
gendary lore. It is finely illustrated and fur.
nished with a map and an “Index for Travel-
ers,” giving railroad fares and hotel prices,
The prize essay is by the Rev. William Jack-
son, and is written to confute the skepticism
of the present day. It is elaborate, Strong,
and scholarly, and will commend itself to
thoughtful readers.

blems ; and have just ready Justin McCarthy’s
romance, Paul Massie, first published in Eng-
land anonymously; and the announced story
of the American navy, entitled Love Afloat,
by J. H. Sheppard. Paul Massie is a work of
much merit, crowded with romantic incidents
and artistic sketches of character.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have published a
new and cheaper edition of Headley’s Sacred
Mountains ; and a collection of hymns, chants
and lessons for church worship, compiled by
the Rev. W. T. Eustis, and entitled The Ser-
vice of Praise. Among the books soon to be
issued by the Scribners is a cook-book for
every-day use, by Marion Harland, to be called
Breakfast, Lwmcheon and Tea. The next
Bric-à-Brac volume will be The Personal Remi-
miscences of Cornelia Knight and Thomas
Raikes. The former was the companion of
the Princess Charlotte, the latter the friend
of Greville, and both had the best of opportu-
nities for gathering gossip. -

BosTon, May 1, 1875.
There is but little of interest to chronicle
of news in the book world. Trade is slow,
new books are scarce, and the preparations
for the summer are on a small scale.
Estes & Lauriat have published, in a hand-
some octavo volume, William Forsyth's His-
tory of Lawyers, Ancient and Moderm. The work
is full of instruction and of much more inter-
est to the general reader than the unthinking
would suppose. Probably no one is better
qualified for the task of writing such a his-
tory than the learned and accomplished author
of the Life of Cicero, and the History of Trial
by Jury. Among the subjects treated are
Theory and Nobility of Advocacy; the Bar in
the Middle Ages; and Roman Law, Lawyers
and Courts. The nature and working of the
Athenian courts are dwelt upon at Some
length, and a long chapter is devoted to the
noblesse de la robe of France, of whom the
author writes in high praise. Of the profes-
sion in France in former times, he says, “No-
where has it achieved a prouder position.”
But the history of the laws and the modes of
dispensing justice from those “former times"
to the present is full of curious interest. We
are told how Alphonso, in 1038, appointed two
champions to determine by the sword whether
the Roman law should be introduced in place
of the civil code, and how the civil law cham-
pion was beaten, and the old custom cf apply-
ing through an advocate to the court for a rule
mist, to enable one to settle an “unpleasant-
ness” wiih his adversary, is explained with
much am using detail. To Advocacy in England
is also devoted a long chapter, but that on
France is more interesting, as it is more novel.
Noted trials are alluded to by way of illustra-
tion, and there is a fund of entertainment in
the volume, aside from its undoubted legal
and historical value. -
What Young People Should Know, just pub-
lished, is a work for unprofessional readers;
on Sexual Physiology, by Professor Burt G.
Wilder, of Cornell University. It does not
pretend to be at all complete or exhaustive,
lºut presents in small compass the principal
facts on the subject, which the author thinks
should be in the possession of all. His reasons
are fully set forth in an appendix, and a second
appendix contains a lecture by Prof. Claude
Bernard on the Resemblance between Embry-
onic Evolution and the Evolution of Redinte-
gration. The illustrations and much of the text
of the book are derived from standard works
on the subject. Estes & Lauriat have put An-
thony Trollope's Sir Harry Hotspur and Mrs.
Morton's Old Sir Douglass in the new style of
pearl cloth binding with black stamps. Above
Suspicion, by Mrs. J. H. Riddell, is promised
this month; also Jettatrice, a novel from the
French of Madame Augustus Craven.
William F. Gill & Co. have projected two
new series of books, which bid fair to become
popular. The first is a cheap series of octavo
volumes, to be known as the Vadé-Mecum
Series, and to contain short stories, sketches,
etc., each volume being complete in itself.
They will be just the thing with which to
while away the odd half-hours on the cars and
at the summer resorts. Mr. Gill's, excellent
literary tastes may be depended upon in the
selection of the best material. The first two
volumes are promised in May. The other
series will be called the Treasure-Trove Series,
and its volumes are to contain selections from
the cream of English literature. The publish-
ers announce them as the arabesques of mod-
ern English literature, and the announcement
is fully justified by the selections already made.
The first volume, entitled Essay, will contain
Lamb's “Poor Relations,” Howells’s “Mrs.
Johnson,” Bret Harte’s “Boonder,” Thacke-
ray’s “De Finibus,” Dickens’s “Birthday
Celebrations,” Hawthorne’s “Custom-house
Officers,” Aldrich’s “A Young Desperado,”
and a dozen others of equal merit. The sec-
ond volume, Story, will contain the best speci-
mens from Dickens, Mark Twain, Lover, Lever,
Hawthorne, Hood, Artemus Ward, Barham,
Jerrold and Goldsmith.
Arsene Houssaye's letters on French society,
under the title of Life in Paris, are nearly
ready. They have been much praised, are
bright and lively, and thoroughly reflect so-
ciety in the French capital. This firm have
in preparation a Souvenir of Bumker Hill, to
contain an historical account of the battle of
June 17, 1775, with portraits of the promi-
ment actors and illustrations of the scenes of
the battle. -
J. R. Osgood & Co. have issued Sea, in Indus.

of Little Classics, Comedy and Childhood ; and
two fine quarto art volumes. The first is the

Warrative of Le Moyne, who accompanied the
French expedition to Florida in 1564. It is
translated from the Latin, and iliustrated with
heliotypes of the engravings taken from origi-
nal drawings. The second book of illustrations
is Evamples of English Media’val Foliage and
Colored Decoration, taken from buildings of the
period from the twelfth to the fifteenth centu-
ries, with descriptive letter-press, by James
Kellaway Collind. Mr. Ames, the author of
Sea, in Industry, is a Commissioner of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau of Labor. His book is a plea
for working-girls, and gives many interesting
facts, the results of careful and extended in-
vestigations. Mr. Waring was colonel of a
Missouri cavalry regiment during the war, and
in Whip and Spun" he gives us some readable
stories of life in the army. Mr. Lewes writes
of “Problems” which deeply concern every
one, and should engage the attention of every
thinking mind. He writes clearly, and it is a
pleasure for those who are at all interested in
the controversies of the day to read his books.
Osgood & Co. have just issued Thansatlantic
Sketches, by Henry James, Jr., a book of travel
in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Hol-
land and Belgium, differing from most books
of travel in being more reflective ; and The
Wreck of the Chancellor and Martin Paz, two
stories by Jules Werne, now translated into
English for the first time. For early issue are
announced Saxe's Leisure Day Ithymes ; a vol-
ume of poems by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps;
Greg's Rocks Ahead, or The Warnings of Cas-
sandra, printed from the second London edi-
tion, and containing a reply to his critics; and
a summer tourist's book, by Wilson Flagg, en-
titled Birds and Seasons, a companion volume
to Woods and Waysides of New England. Two
more of the Little Classics are also on the
stocks, to be called Heroism and Fortune.
Browning's new volume, Aristophames' Apolo-
gy, is nearly ready.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. will publish in May,
Spring Flowers, by Edward S. Rand, Jr., a
cheap and useful manual for the culture of
flowers, uniform with Window Gardening;
Songs after Sunset, a volume of poems by
Frank W. Lantz; and Achsah, a really charm-
ing story of New England life, by Rev. Peter
Pennot, whose identity has been a subject of
much inquiry among the readers of American
FIomes. The owner of the mom de plume is Mr.
Wm. F. F. Rounds, Paris correspondent of the
JBoston Globe. w
D. Lothrop & Co. have printed a new edition
of David Masson’s British Novelists, formerly
published by Gould & Lincoln, and but little
known by the readers of to-day. It comprises
four lectures, somewhat expanded, delivered
in 1850 before the Philosophical Institution of
Edinburgh. The subjects are The Novel as a
|Form of Literature and Early British Prose
Fiction, British Novels of the Eighteenth Cen-
tury, Scott and his Influence, and British
Novelists since Scott. The author is regarded
as one of the most entertaining critics of the
fect picture of the Spain of to-day.
time, and though much has been written on
these subjects since this volume was first pub-
lished, it is still not only valuable but pleasant
reading. Lothrop is printing new editions of
Dr. Francis Wayland's Salvation by Christ, and
of the Diary and Correspondence of Amos Law-
7'670C6.
Ilee & Shepard have published a noteworthy
book on Spain and the Spanian'ds, by N. L.
Thieblin ; a volume of Essays AEsthetical, by
George H. Calvert; Warrington’s Manual; and
a novel by Katharine Sedgwick Washburn,
entitled Perfect Love Casteth out Fear. The
latter is a story of a society flirt and her trials.
There are some strongly marked characters,
and the book will please ninety-nine in a hun-
dred of the army of novel readers. Mr. Cal-
vert’s Essays are written for cultivated minds,
being thoughtful in tone and elegant in style.
Among the subjects are Dante, Carlisle, Sainte-
Beuve, The Usefulness of Art, The Beautiful,
Poetry, and Style. Mr. Thieblin visited Spain
for the N. Y. Herald, and his book on that
country is certainly one of the best ever writ-
ten. It is full of graphic descriptions, amus-
ing adventures, and solid information. To the
untiring perseverance of the journalist, Mr.
Thieblin united the judgment and observation
of the scholar, and he has given us a very per-

all the English journals have been enthusias-
tic in praise of it. Nasby’s Abou Ben Adhem
has been delayed, but will soon be issued.
Two new juveniles are also announced for this
month—the first by Oliver Optic, entitled
Ocean Born ; or, The Cruise of the Yachts, to
be published in the Yacht Club Series; the
other by Elijah Kellogg, entitled Wolf Run ,
or, The Boys of the Wildermess. A book on
Childhood, by Rev. W. F. Crafts, the well-
known Sunday-school laborer, is in active pre-
paration. Mrs. Miller's cook-book, In the Kit-
chem, will be published in quarto form and
interleaved. The advantage of this shape is
that it permits the book to lie open, a point
which every housewife will appreciate.
The new books from Roberts Brothers are
Musical Composers and Their Works, by Sarah
Tytler; Our Sketching Club, by R. St. John
Tyrwhitt; and Philip Gilbert Hamerton's
book for boys, Harry Blount. The first is full
of entertaining, gossipy sketches of music and
composers, which will be enjoyed by all who
have any taste for musical literature. Owl'
Sketching Club is the series of papers under
that name which have been printed in Old and
Ne?0. It is a narrative of the sayings and
doings of a supposed sketching club, and
conveys much practical instruction and many
useful hints. The lessons and woodcuts in
Ruskin's Elements of Drawing are reproduced
in the volume. Harry Blount is just such a
book as the average boy delights in, full of
stirring out-of-door scenes, hunting and boat-
ing adventures, and field sports. Though sen-
sational and absorbing, it is healthful and en-

nobling. Edward Abbott's Paragraph History
of the United States will be issued in a few
days, also A. Sheaf of Papers, by Thomas G.
Appleton; Madame Récamier and her Friends,
and William Morris's Defence of Guenevere, and
Other Poems. Mr. Appleton's volume com-
prises papers on a variety of subjects, such as
“Art Chat,” “The Future of America,” “The
New England Conscience,” etc. Some of them
are essays, others are short tales. A few have
appeared in Old and New, but most of them
are printed now for the first time. Madame
Récamier is from the French of Madame Le-
normant, and supplements her previous work.
The Defence of Guenevere is new here, though
it was printed in London in 1858. There were
many objections made to it then by the Eng-
lish critics, but since the production of The
Earthly Paradise, Morris is better understood,
and his earlier poems will now no doubt be
appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic.
James Campbell has prepared a new edition
of The History and Philosophy of Marriage; or,
Polygamy and Monogamy Compared. It was
first published anonymously several years ago,
and gave rise to much comment. The author
has somewhat amended the book, and also
taken occasion to reply to several of the re-
views which he thinks merit his attention.
The publisher has been induced to reprint the
book from the fact that recent inquiries have
been made for it here, and several large orders
have been received from abroad.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1, 1875.
There has been but a slight improvement
in trade during the month, and the new books
are few. The movement to secure retail
prices is watched with much interest by our
booksellers, who in these dull times keenly
feel the loss of any portion of their legitimate,
profits. The suicidal policy of giving dis-
counts to everybody was inaugurated in the
days of brisk trade, and though the competi-
tion has been kept up with much spirit, the
experience of the past eighteen months has
made them almost unanimous in their desire
to return to retail prices. The Messrs. Lippin-
cott would not sign the agreement known as
the twenty per cent. rule, because they be-
lieved the many exceptions it contained would
afford too much opportunity for its evasion.
They declare, however, that they are in favor
of the principle, and they propose a more
stringent rule, namely, that all books should
be sold at the published retail price, the only
exceptions being a maximum discount of
twenty per cent. to be allowed to libraries and
School teachers on any amount, and to other
buyers outside the trade purchasing not less
than $100 net at one time. The most of the
miscellaneous booksellers here will agree to
this plan, but school-book publishers object to
it on the ground that they are obliged to give
greater discounts to school boards. The reli-
gious book houses argue that clergymen should
be excepted, not only because they are large
buyers, but because of their influence in creat-
ing a demand for books—an argument that
does not apply to doctors and lawyers. Mean-
while, all except medical books are being re-
tailed at from twenty to forty per cent. dis-
count. The medical book publishers agreed
last September to limit discounts to those out-
side the trade to ten per cent., and the agree-
ment has been faithfully adhered to. They
complain, however, that the medical book
publishers of New York are retailing at twenty
per cent., and sometimes even better rates.
The longest list of new books comes from
Lippincott & Co., who have issued, since my
last, the third volume of the new edition of
Prescott's Charles V. ; a volume by Charles
Ingersoll, entitled Fears for Democracy, an
extended and able work on The Recent Origin
of Man, by James C. Southall; a new and con-
siderably enlarged edition of Philadelphia and
its Environs ; a novel by Mrs. Forrester, en-
titled Dolores; and one by Helen King Spang-
ler, entitled The Physician's Wife. The latter
is a bright and pleasant story, rather better
than the average society novel, of the day.
Mrs. Forrester's Dolores is a romance of Eng-
Iand and Normandy, with pretty characters
and an interesting plot. Readers of Fair
Women and From Olympus to IIades will find
Dolores quite as entertaining as either. Mr.
Ingersoll's Fears for Democracy is a critical
discussion of the -principles of governing by
the people, regarded from an American stand-
point. The author commences with democ-
racy at the time of the Revolution, shows
how it was regarded in the Federal Conven-
tion, and how it finally became established ;
the advantages and disadvantages of the sys-
tem are pointed out, and the dangerous apathy
of the people and other sources of weakness
commented on at length. Though severe on
the mistakes of the system, Mr. Ingersoll, on
the whole, takes a hopeful view of it, conclud-
ing that we have more prosperity than the
men of ’87 hoped, more democracy than they
feared, and more of both than we can account
for on any other principle than that the people
are meant to take care of themselves. At this
period of our history the book should have a
wide circulation, and it is well calculated to
have a wholesome effect. The Lippincotts
have nearly ready a sensational novel by Mrs.
J. H. Twells, entitled The Mills of the Gods ;
The Green Gate, a romance from the German
of Ernst Wichert, by Mrs. A. L. Wister; and
The Mystery; or, Platonic Love, by Mortimer
Lightfoot.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have pub.

Fuchs, Professor in the University of Heidel-
berg, translated and edited by T. W. Danby,

bridge, Associate of the Royal School of Mines,

fair knowledge of the science. There are many
more elaborate works for skilled experiment-
ers, but this is one of the few practical books
for students and amateurs.
During the month of April the energetic
firm of T. B. Peterson & Brothers issued a new
editions of The Mysteries of the Court of the
Stuarts, a fascinating historical romance from
the pen of William Harrison Ainsworth; The
Haunted. Tower, an absorbing novel by that
deft weaver of entrancing stories, Mrs. Henry
Wood; The Bride of an Evening, or the Gipsy's
Prophecy, a thrilling romance, and The Island
Princess, or the Lady of the Isle, a strange, weird
story, both from the pen of Mrs. Emma D. E.
N. Southworth ; The Mysteries of the Court of
Queen Amme, another historical story of court
secrets by Ainsworth ; and The Betrothed, by
Sir Walter Scott, being the sixth volume of
Petersons' twenty-five cent edition of the
Waverley Novels.
Petersons will publish The Mystery of Dark
Hollow, edited by Mrs. Southworth, and will
reprint Dumas' Annette ; or, The Lady of
Pearls. Annette is the companion picture to
his Camille. Their other announcements are
Bertha's Engagement, a new society novel by
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens; and Popery Eaposed, by
F. P. De La Gattiner. The latter volume treats
at length of the people and government of
Rome, and of the life of the present Pope.
The Discarded Daughter, and Virginia Magda-
leme ; or, The Thoo Sisters, both by Mrs. E. D.
E. N. Southworth, are Volumes Seven and
Eight of Petersons' new and uniform edition of
the complete writings of Mrs. Southworth.
Anne of Geierstein will be the seventh volume
of the cheap edition of the Waverleys.
The Presbyterian Board of Publication have
lately published God's Rule for Christian Gie-
ing, by Rev. Dr. William Speer, Secretary of
the Presbyterian Board of Education; and a
story with a moral, entitled Farmer Tompkins |
and his Bibles, by Professor Willis J. Beecher,
of the Auburn Theological Seminary. . Dr.
Speer is a very pleasing writer and the author
of a work on the Chinese Empire, which Sec-
retary Seward pronounced the best ever writ-
ten. In his last book on giving, the rewards
and penalties connected with money, the duty
and blessings of giving, the Divine will con-
cerning the use of riches, the necessity to civ-
ilization of supporting christian observances,
are treated at considerable length, and much
interesting matter is introduced by way of
illustration. The volume is a very useful one
for preachers, and may be very profitably read
by laymen. Professor Beecher's book tells
how a young man gave up his ideas of free
thinking, under the shrewd, common sense
arguments of Farmer Tompkins and his home-
ly, but forcible illustrations. It is a capital
book for young people whose self-conceit leads
them to skepticism.
Porter & Coates' new books have all been
noticed in previous letters. They are Days
... Near Rome, by Augustus J. C. Hare, in which |
In the month of May the
we have charming descriptions of localities in
the suburbs of the ancient city, many of which
are overlooked by the majority of tourists;
Social Science and National Economy, by Profes-
sor Thompson, editor of the Penn Monthly,
and the work on the Origin, and Laws of Storms,
by Professor William Blasius. Though emi-
nently scientific, it is written for the popular
reader, and is by no means dry reading. An-
other cook-book is promised by this firm, pre-
pared by Mrs. S. T. Paul, and to be called
Cookery from Eaperience. As the last cook-
book is always the best, this of course will not
be an exception. The promised new series of
essays by J. Hain Freswell, to bear the title
The Better Self, is also promised in May. The
readers of the author's The Gentle Life will.
gladly welcome the new volume. The author
says in his preface, that the book “ by no means
concerns the best self or the highest ideal, but
simply that move upward towards. Something
a little higher than that dead flat upon which

Lindsay & Blakiston have lately issued the
fourth edition of Mayne's Medical Vocabulary,
an excellent reference book for students, giv-
ing an explanation of technical terms and
phrases used in medical science, their deriva-
tion, meaning, application, and pronunciation.
This edition is so much changed from the
former one as to be almost a new book. Re-
dundancies have been omitted and new terms
added, and the work has been considerably
enlarged. The fifth edition of Carpenter's
work on The Microscope and its Revelations has
also been issued. It is a heavy volume of 850
pages, with 25 plates and 450 woodcuts. The
work goes over the whole field, and is designed
quite as much for amateurs as for profession.

colored plates and 300 woodcuts. A smaller

Henry C. Lea has published a Manual of
Diet in Health and Disease, by Dr. Thos. King
Chambers, of London. A good idea of the
nature of the work is given by the author in
his preface. He says: “The aims of this hand-
book are purely practical, and therefore it has
not been thought right to increase its size by
the addition of the chemical, botanical, and
industrial learning which rapidly collects
around the nucleus of every article interesting
as an eatable. Space has thus been gained for
a full discussion of many matters connecting

SAMUEL R. WIELLS. .*
The well-known phrenologist and pub-
lisher, Samuel R. Wells, died in this city,
April 13th, of typhoid fever.
in West Hartford, Conn., in 1820, was edu-
cated as a physician and received his diplo-
ma, but never practiced. Early in life he
became interested in the subject of phren-
ology, then in its infancy, and applied him-
self to its study. He became a partner in
the firm of O. S. & L. N. Fowler in 1854,
and in 1860 accompanied Mr. L. N. Fowler
to Europe on a lecturing tour. Shortly
after his return he took entire charge of
the business, which has since been in his
name. He was an active worker as a writer
and in the lecture field, a conscientious stu-
dent, widely read and of many and varied
attainments. His kindness of heart won
him many warm personal friends, and his
fearless advocacy of temperance and of
other social reforms secured him the re-
spect and esteem of the public.
JOHN HARPER.
Mr. John Harper, the senior partner of
the firm of Harper & Brothers, died at his
residence in this city, April 22d, at the
age of seventy-eight years. He was the
second of four brothers and with his elder
brother James was at an early age appren-
ticed to printers in this city. After serv-
ing their apprenticeship, they set up for
themselves under the firm-name of J. & J.
Harper, and soon after began to publish
for themselves. Joseph Wesley Harper
was admitted to the firm in 1823, and
soon after the youngest, and now the only
surviving brother, Fletcher, became a
partner. In 1833 the name was changed
to Harper & Brothers. The life of John
Harper has been a very active and useful
He was born.
One, and to his energy and shrewd busi-
neSS Sagacity is. largely due the success
of the house. In the early days of the old
firm he worked at the case, while his
brother attended to the press-work. When
the new firm was formed he became finan-
cial manager. He was firm and decided
in his character, quick to form an opinion
and slow to change it, kind in his manner,
and conscientious in the performance of
duty. The brothers were always in har-
mony and strongly attached to each other.
The stibject of our sketch was much affect-
ed by the death of James a few years
ago, and since that time has not taken an
active part in the business. A few years
ago he suffered a paralytic stroke, from
i which he never entirely recovered. Sev-
eral months ago another stroke completely
prostrated him, and he gradually sank
until his long, active and bonorable life
was closed. -
JOSEPH E. BABSON. +
Mr. Joseph E. Babson, better known
in the literary world as “Tom Folio,”
died at his home in Wyoming, Mass., on
the 19th inst. He was born in Gloucester,
where he resided for many years, but was
little known outside of his immediate cir-
cle of friends. At one time he kept a
bookstore, but does not seem to have been
successful in business, and for some years
he has lived in the vicinity of Boston in
the retirement of a literary recluse. His
love for literature amounted to a passion,
and though he was constantly studying
the old English writers, nothing new es-
caped his attention. He wrote much for
the Boston Transcript, and the quaint and
entertaining contributions of “Tom Folio”
were always appreciated by its readers. He
contributed occasionally to the Atlantic
and Old and New, and was for several years
Boston correspondent of the BOOKSELLERS'
GUIDE. He was most successful in bring-
ing to light unrecognized papers of the old
authors, a work for which he was peculiar-
ly fitted by accurate taste- and unerring
judgment. He collected such a volume
of Charles Lamb's writings, known as
Eliana; two volumes of Leigh Hunt's wri-
tings, entitled respectively A Day by the
Fire and other Papers, and The Wishing
Cap Papers; and Fireside Saints, by Doug-
lass Jerrold. He has also compiled a vol-
ume by Steele, which is soon to be pub-
lished under the title of The Lover, and
other Miscellanies. At the time of his
death he was busily searching for other
writings of Leigh Hunt and Lamb.

Tom Folio."
In “A Day's Pleasure,” in Mr. W. D. How-
ells' Suburban Sketches, the author thus felici-
tously describes the late Mr. J. E. Babson :
“Our friend there—he's everybody’s friend,
if you mean nobody’s enemy by that, not
even his own—is really what I say—the most
literary man I ever knew. He loves all
epochs and phases of literature, but his pas-
sion is the Charles Lamb period and all
Lamb's friends. He loves them as if they
were living men; and Lamb would have loved
him if he could have known him. He speaks
rapidly and rather indistinctly, and when
you meet him and say good day, and you sup-
pose he answers with something about the
weather, ten to one he's asking you what you
think of Hazlitt's essays on Shakespeare, or
Leigh Hunt’s Italian Poets, or Lamb's roast
pig, or Barry Cornwall’s songs. He couldn’t
get by a bookstall without stopping—for half
an hour, at any rate. He knows just when all
the new books in town are to be published,
and when each bookseller is to get his in-
voice of old English books. He has no par-
ticular address, but if you leave your card
for him at any bookstore in Boston, he's sure
to get it within two days; and in the summer
time you’re apt to meet him on these excur-
sions. Of course he writes about books, and
very tastefully and modestly ; there's hardly
any of the brand-new immortal English poets,
who die off so rapidly, but has had a good
word from him ; but his heart is with the
older fellows, from Chaucer down ; and after
the Charles Lamb epoch, I don’t know whether
he loves better the Elizabethan age or that of
Queen Anne. Think of him making me stop
the other day at a bookstall and read through
an essay out of the Spectator I did it all for
love of him, though money couldn’t have per-
suaded me that I had time ; and I’m always
telling him lies, and pretending to be as well
acquainted as he is with authors I hardly
know by name, he seems so fondly to expect
it. He’s really almost a disembodied spirit
as concerns most mundane interests; his soul
is in literature, as a lover's in his mistress's
beauty.” -

tain over five hundred illustrations by Darley.
Wilson, Hinkle & Co. announce Harvey's
Primary Speller and Graded School Readers.
The latter, five in number, are prepared on

justice to their worth in illustrations and
general appearance.
A new edition of Sanderson's Biography of
the Signers to the Declaration of Independence
is to be issued next winter. All the plates
of the original edition will be retained, but
much documentary and detail matter will be
omitted, reducing the work to about 800 pages,

The “Nothing to Wear” controversy bids
fair to be revived in the publication by G. W.
Carleton & Co., of another book by the young
lady who claimed the authorship of that
clever poem. The new work, which is entitled
The Woman Zoe, carries the same stinging, sa-
tirical rebuke as did the poem “Nothing to
Wear.”
The Congregationalist, speaking of Sunday-
School books, says : “The pious “memoirs'
of a former generation were most of them
good for nothing, aud we do not blame the
Sabbath-school children, then or now, for let-
ting them alone. They were artificial, con-
strained, and often morbid. They were
neither true to life, nature, nor godliness. If
biographies must be of that sort, it is better
to have none.”
The Fret-Saw has become quite popular,
both as a source of pleasure and of profit, and
a cheap book of designs has been in great

Henry T. Williams, 46 Beekman St., New
York, containing plates of over 125 designs
for picture-frames, brackets, work-boxes card-
receivers, and fancy articles of every descrip-
tion. Many of the designs are original, while
others are from the prettiest Swiss and Ger-

evils of intemperance.
Lee & Shepard have published the third re-
vised edition of Prof. Schem’s Statistics of the
World, containing, in addition to the con-
tents of the former editions, a table of the
principal creeds of the world. These statistics
of government, religion, commerce, money,
weights and measures, railroads, telegraphs—
in short, of everything at all likely to be of
interest, are most ingeniously tabulated for
convenience, and in no other form can so
much valuable information be secured so
cheaply.
The Catholic Publication Society, New
York, announces a new series of school
books, to be known as “The Young Catholic’s
Illustrated School Series,” and to include
all the books needed in a graded school.
A Primer, a Speller, and six Graded Readers
are already issued. They have been com-
piled with much care, are prettily illustrated,
and are probably in matter and make-up the
best books of the kind in the country.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia,
announce on last page that Mrs. Ann S. Ste.
phens' new society novel, Bertha's Engage-
'ment, will not be published until Saturday,
May 8th, and the Mystery of Dark Hollow,
edited by Mrs. Emma D. E. N. Southworth,
until Saturday, May 22d, on account of the
large orders pouring in for them from all sec-
tions of the country. Both of these books
will no doubt command large sales, as they
are both entirely new, and are printed from
the authors’ manuscripts.

The illustrious Danish writer, Hans Chris-

April 2d last. He is not at all in good health,
but hopes are entertained that he will pickup
strength during the summer months. The
King and Queen of Denmark sent him pres-
ents, and the Crown Prince paid him a visit.
The Princess of Wales, with her usual grace
and thoughtfulness, sent him flowers from
England and a pretty letter of congratulations.
A lady, in a private letter addressed to a
friend in New York, thus describes George
Eliot, the great novelist: “I lunched with the
T s the other day, and amongst their guests
was George Eliot, or rather Mrs. Lewes. .
She is by no means handsome or agreeable.
She looks like the picture of Lorenzo de
Medici, with very large, thin features and
possessing penetrating eyes. She dresses
plainly but well, neither in nor out of fashion.
Her manner is not at all pleasing; it is abrupt
and harsh, and indeed I was altogether so
little agreeably impressed by her, that, admir-
ing her works as I do, I took quite a dislike to
her and was sorry I ever met her. The dis-
illusion was too great.” -

Ditson & Co. have published a volume of
German four-part songs for mixed voices, with
English words, edited by N. H. Allen. ...There
has been a demand for just such a collection
for choruses of mixed voices. The compiler
has used excellent judgment, selecting largely
from the modern German composers. Though
not difficult, the pieces are full of character.
Louis Meyer, Philadelphia, sends us Our
Darling's Last'Good Night, a simple but affect-
ing little song and chorus, by Adam Geibel;
Ilove's Farewell, a very pretty ballad with an
easy accompaniment, by Adam Geibel ; and
The Echo, or Songs of Many Years Ago, a bright
and airy song for soprano or tenor, by F. A.
Kulling. Both the melody and the accom-
paniment are quite charming, and the words
are as pretty as the music.
The first number of their new Violin and
Piano Quarterly Journal has been issued by

White's “O Restless Sea, l’’ and other composi-
tions. One year's subscription, $2.00, will pur-
chase eighty pages of the best violin and
piano music. -
Lee & Walker's list of new sheet music is
rich in good things. Among them are Pearls
of Dew, a very bright and showy composition
by Gustav Lange, of Berlin; the prayer, How
Shall I be Free ? and the Polonaise from the
opera Ostrolenka ; also a waltz and a mazurka
from the masked ball scene in the same opera ;
and a number of pretty ballads, of which
Dawn, a plaintive melody with simple accom-
paniment, and Love Like Mine, by Victor Ker-
atry, are especially noteworthy.
Biglow & Main have issued another little
Sunday-school Song Book, with the title Bright-
est and Best. Of the three former books
issued by this house, they announce that they
have sold more than 1,700,000 copies, and this
new book, if not what its name claims for it,
is certainly as bright and as good as either of
the others, and will probably have as large a
sale. It is compiled by Rev. Robert Lowry
and W. Howard Doane. The selections, though
affording great variety, are all adapted to the
wants of Sunday-schools, and are mostly new.

One more instance of the poverty of authors
is furnished by Canon Kingsley, whose person-
al estate is sworn under $20,000. He leaves all
to his wife, subject to an annuity to his chil-
dren's nurse of $100 a year. This provision
seems so slender that it almost seems a pity
that the memorial to him should not in some
degree at least take the form of a pecuniary
benefit to his family. The subscriptions are,
however, to be devoted to an object very dear
to his heart—the completion of a chapel in a
hamlet of Eversley (where he was rector over
, thirty years), called Bramshill. Bramshill
House is one of the finest mansions in Eng-
land. It was built for Prince Henry of Wales,
elder brother of Charles I., of whom the elder
Disraeli writes with such enthusiasm, but
whose early death prevented his living there.
Dr. Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1611
to 1633 (the immediate predecessor of Laud),
had the misfortune to kill a keeper in this
park, a circumstance which created a prodig-
ious ado at the time, though Clarendon does
not allude to it in his bitter sketch of this
prelate. Ever after the Archbishop kept the
anniversary of this calamity with the strictest
prayer and fasting. For many years this
grand old mansion has belonged to the Cope
family, whose circumstances have not enabled
them to maintain it as it should be maintain-
ed. When a large grant of money was made
to buy the Duke of Wellington a seat, it was
proposed to purchase Bramshill, which would
have been worthy of that world-famed warrior
and might have held its own with Blenheim
even ; but ultimately a very poor purchase was

Dreka's Dictionary Blotter is a very handy
and useful article, which will commend itself
to writers at sight. Besides the pocket, and
blotting pads which can easily be removed
and replaced by clean sheets, it contains an
alphabetical list of all the English words in
common use that are likely to be misspelled,
a table of participles, one of synonyms, and
lists of Christian and of geographical names.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
The earliest dictionary of which any record
remains is one in the Chinese language, com-
piled by Pa-out-she, about B. C. 1100. Marcus
Terentius Varro—who flourished B. C. 116–
28, was one of the first classic authors who
turned his attention to lexicography; but the
most celebrated dictionary of antiquity is the
Onomasticon of Julius Pollux, which was
completed early in the third century. The
earliest Latin dictionary of modern times was
published by John Balbi, of Genoa, in 1460;
but that of Calepio, published 1502, is much
superior. Sebastian Munster's Chaldee Diction-
ary appeared in 1537; Pagninus' Lexicon of the
Hebrew language in 1529; Robert Stephens'
Thesaurus in 1535; Erpenius' Arabic Diction-
ary in 1613; Shindler's Lexicon Pantagiottum
in 1612; Edmund Castell’s Lexicon Heptaglot-
ton in 1669; and Phillips' New World of
Words in 1658. Moreri published his Bio-
graphical, Historical, and Geographical Dic-
tionary in 1673. Elisha Cole's English Dic-
tionary appeared 1677, and Bayle's Historical
and Critical Dictionary, and the Dictionary of
the French Academy in 1694. Dr. Johnson's
English Dictionary was completed in May
'1755. Walker's Dictionary appeared in 1791
and Francis Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar
Tongue in 1785.

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preſerable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form : -

TO THE RETAIL BOOK TRADE.

Referring to the announcement in the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY, April 3, 1875, and in accordance
with the wishes of a majority of the subscribers, the MONTHLY BOOK CIRCULAR will hereafter be
called THE LITERARY NEws, the style of heading as above,
We desire to draw the attention of Booksellers, News Agents, and Dealers generally to this
ſhandy, cheap, and proſtable advertising medium for the latest books in the market.
THE LITERARY NEws, like the Book Circular, will be published with not less than eight pages,
and will be issued at the beginning of every mgnth, embracing Editorial Notes, Literary Intelli-
gence, a full list, compiled éxpressly for its columns from the records of the PUBLISHERS’
WEEKLY, containing the titles and prices of the
PRINCIPAL BOOKS PUBLISHED DURING THE PREVIOUS MONTH
and announcements of Forthcoming Works for the Cata”ent Month, so classified as
to show at a glance all the new publications in the various departments of literature, and one
page of general advertisements, which will not conflict with the interest of the trade. It
will be printed on tinted paper like previous editions, but of Superior quality, and altogether
more attractive in appearance. The paper being of light texture, it can be sent with any book,
magazine, paper, letter circular, with a small increase of postage.
It is certain that dealers who will adopt this cheap and effective mode for advertising their
establishments, will find themselves amply repaid in a short time, and we have the testimony of
many dealers who have not only increased the sales from their counters, but have found the orders
for books not in stock highly remunerative.
Terms for Editions with Imprint, invariably payable in advance.
100 Copies for three months, sent postpaid, $6 50 500 Copies for three months, sent post-paid, $19 00
250 & 8 & 6 • 6 G 12 00 || 1000 * * 66 6 6 € $ 36 00
Special terms for large quantities.
Extra front headings, (instead of the adopted style of imprint,) with special name of paper and
display, for which there is space above the rules inclosing date, are charged $1 extra per edition.
[3 At the top of this page will be found the space allotted for dealer's imprint.
Any quantity from IOO to IOOO copies will be sent post-paid, but for larger quantities, at the
reduced rates, postage or expressage will be charged.
Subscribers desiring an extra number of copies for particular months will be charged pro rata.
Dealers who desire an edition for trial before subscribing, can be supplied at the following
TateS,
100 Copies for any month, - tº- gº tº- $2 50 500 Copies for any month, gº s s - $8 00
250 $ 6 & 4 66 sº tº- tº 5 00 || 1000 66 6 G 6 & e gº º - 15 00
Orders must be received by the 25th of the month previous to which the subscription begins.
AVo orders filled without payment in advance, as the numerous small amounts will neither bear the
trouble nor the expense of sending bills or of repeated statements, and collecting. Remittances should
be made either by Post-Office Order, Draft on New-York, or Registered Letter.
All Orders should be addressed,

A MEDIUM for the Sale and Exchange of Old Books and
Magazines is a constant and growing want among dealers.
Much old stock, which is useless in the hands of one dealer,
may be readily disposed of to appreciative buyers in another
locality, if those buyers have some inexpensive means of
making their wants known.
Back numbers of Magazines are often wanted to complete
volumes, old and rare Books are always in demand; but as
the would-be buyer cannot afford to pay regular rates for
advertising, their possessor is obliged to see them wear out
on his shelves, and finally sells them for old paper.
To meet the above want, we shall hereafter devote the
required space in each number of the BOOKSELLERS'

THE Book MARKET
*g
NEW YORK, June 1, 1875.
Although we hear much on all sides of an
unusual depression in the book trade, and the
gloomy prospects for the summer, we are in-
clined to think that the business is safer, if
not greater, than last year at this time. It
has been so “overdone * in former years, that
busy presses and large sales have not always
been healthful indications. The falling off in
the demand for books has taught the publish-
ers that success does not so much depend on
the number of books issued as their quality,
and dealers are no longer tempted by “bar-
gains” to overload themselves with dead stock;
hence, though business is light, publishers
can, as a rule, dispose of paying editions of
what they make, and dealers are able to pay
for what they take. A few of the books of
the month have sold remarkably well, and
the low-spirited in the trade may be assured
that books are not going out of fashion, that
the public are still ready to purchase, if the
publishers will furnish what they want.
Harper & Brothers have published since
'our last, Macready's Reminiscences ; a book
on the revivalists Moody and Sankey and
their work, entitled The Work of God in Great
Britain, by Rev. Dr. Rufus W. Clark; Bishop
Haven’s book on Mexico ; Mr. J. R. Green’s
Short History of the English People; a cheap
edition of Livingstone's Last Journals, Man, and
Beast Here and Hereafter, by Rev. J. G. Wood;
The Satires of Persius, edited by Professor
Basil L. Gildersleeve, of the University of Vir-
ginia; and a new edition of the Hand-Book
for Travelers in Europe and the East. The
“Reminiscences” of the great English trage-
dian are already somewhat familiar to Ameri-
can readers, Macmillan having brought out
the English edition several months ago. Those
who have failed to read it have now an op-
portunity to get it in as good a form, at a much
lower price. Macready was not only a con-
scientious actor, but a Christian gentleman
and an earnest worker in his chosen field.
The story of his early life is full of instruc-
tive lessons, and the many lively anecdotes of
contemporaneous actors and others make the
book very attractive. The autobiography ends
with the year 1826, but the story is continued
by his diaries up to 1851, and beyond that
year to the time of his death in 1873, by the
editor, Sir Frederick Pollock, and by letters
to himself and Lady Pollock.
Dr. Clark's book on Moody and Sankey
gives a very clear and complete account of
their work, drawn from the most trustworthy
sources. Mr. Wood’s book on animals is a
collection of anecdotes, illustrating their in-
telligence and supporting the theory of the
author that they share with man the facul-
ties of reason, memory, love, and other quali-
ties, which man expects to retain in the next
world, and “ there is every reason to presume
that the lower animals may share his immor-
tality hereafter.” Some of the anecdotes are
very curious, and there are few readers with
so little sympathy with the lower animals
that they cannot enjoy the volume. Green’s
Short History of the English People, though
designed especially for the student, is full
of interest to the general reader, containing
much not found in other histories of En-
gland. In fact, it is, as the title indicates,
more a history of the people than of the
country, treating as fully of the poets, the
merchants, the thinkers of England, who have
influenced her destiny, as of her soldiers and
statesmen. The author is clear and forci-
ble, even brilliant at times, and the reader
can follow him as delightfully as through a
novel. Gildersleeve's Salères of Persius is a
text-book for colleges, which will commend
itself to those for whom it has been prepared.
The value of the book to the student may be
inferred from the fact that while the text of
the Satires fills but twenty-six pages, more
than two hundred are devoted to notes, a
biography of Persius, and an index. Harper's
Handbook for travelers in Europe and the East
is now in its fourteenth year. Since the previ-
ous issue many of the countries have been en-

ning of the present year. A new map of Swit-
zerland has been added, and a new one of
Europe substituted for the old one; three large
maps of England, Scotland and Ireland have
also been added.
Of new novels, the Harpers have issued
Alice Lorraine, by R. D. Blackmore, a passable
story, with some charming descriptions of
English and Spanish scenery; Our Detach-
7nent, a vivacious story of the loves and flirta-
tions of the members of an English regiment
with the pretty girls of the Irish town where
they were quartered, by Katherine King ;
William Black's Three Feathers; and The Rape
of the Gamp, by C. Welsh Mason. Mr. Black's
story is one of his best. Though not sensational
nor dramatic, it engages and holds the atten-
tion of the reader from the beginning to the
end. The Rape of the Gamp is a story of a
very eccentric young lady who fell in love
with another woman’s husband. The ordinary
novel reader will like it. Other novels com-
ing immediately from the Harpers are Miss
Angel, by Miss Thackeray; a volume of short
stories from the same author; Walter's Word,
by James Payn ; and a novel by Eliza A. Pol-
lard, entitled The Lady Superior. We are al-
so promised a timely summer book on The
Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast,
by Samuel A. Drake. -
D. Appleton & Co. have made the hit of the
Season in General Sherman’s Memoirs, the
most important book on the late war yet
written by a leader on either side. It has
been so extensively noticed by the press, that
little need be said here concerning it. The un-
reserved, outspoken manner in which the
author gives his views has already provoked
much criticism, and more is coming; but, how-
ever much individuals here and there are
displeased, the public will not fail to read and ,
enjoy the work. The other books from the .
Appleton's are The Aërial World, by G. Hart-
wig; a volume on The Life and Growth of
Language, by Prof. William Dwight Whitney,
of Yale, and English Men of Science, by Fran-
cis Galton, the author of Hereditary Genius,
who says the book was suggested by M. de
Candolle’s work, in which he analyzes the
salient events in the history of two hundred
scientific men. He thinks the facts collected
in this latest volume will go far to strengthen
his claims for the recognition of the import-
ance of hereditary influence, and the book
seems to have been written for this purpose.
He pursues his investigation under the heads
of Antecedents, Qualities, Origin of Taste for
Science, and Education, using notable instan-
ces, as Darwin, Bentham, and Carpenter as
illustrations. The volume is as important
for what it suggests as for what it proves.
Prof. Whitney’s book on Language is a schol-
arly work written for scholars, though the
ordinary reader will not find it above his
comprehension. The Aërial World is a hand-
some octavo, illustrated by chromo-lithograph
plates, woodcuts and a climatological map.
The purpose of the author, as given in the
preface, was not to write a learned disquisi-
tion, but “to give a general view of the phe-
nomena of the atmosphere ; to point out the
relations between the aërial ocean and man,
and to describe the life of which it is the
scene.” This he has done most admirably,
and the volume, though brimful of scien-
tific fact, is to the general reader far more
readable than scientific books usually are.
Henry Holt has issued Walford's Mr. Smith,
in the Leisure Hour Series, and Taine's laugh-
able Notes on Paris, both early in the month,
and noticed in my last letter; and Art Life
and Theories of Richard Wagner, selected
from his writings and translated by Edward
L. Burlingame. There is probably no one
talked of so much, who is so little known, as
the composer Wagner, and Mr. Burlingame
has done great service to the English-reading
public by translating these selections from
his works and giving us an insight into his
busy life. It is not generally known that he
is a voluminous author, his collected works
filling nine large volumes, only a few of
which have been translated into English.
His autobiography, given in Mr. Burlingame's
book, ends with his twenty-ninth year, but to
many it will be the most interesting portion
of the volume, portraying as it does the trials
and difficulties of the young composer. The
rest of the volume is taken up by his shorter
papers. A catalogue of his published works
is added, and the book is illustrated by draw-
ings of the Bayreuth Opera House.
From G. P. Putnam’s Sons we have two
notable books: The Keys of the Creeds, pub-
lished anonymously; and Home Sketches in
France, and other Papers, by Mrs. H. M. Field.
The first is in the form of a series of letters
on the various religious doctrines and beliefs.
They are taken up in turn and analyzed as
coolly and skillfully as the surgeon dissects
his passive subject. The author takes the
ground that the accepted religious beliefs
have become so through a sort of intellectual
evolution— a natural course of reasoning.
He writes carefully and incisively, and the
volume will command attention, and of course
call out much criticism. Home Sketches in
France is a sort of memorial volume, in which
Mr. Henry M. Field has collected a number
of notices of his late wife, and many of her
letters from Paris. In these letters are some
clever pictures of life in France and charm-
ing sketches of noted people—Père Hyacinthe,
George Eliot, Mrs. Charles, the author of the
Schönberg-Cotta books, and others.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. have issued a new
edition of Headley’s The Adirondack, illus-
trated with steel engravings, and containing
the results of the recent State Topographical
Survey, and the first correct map of the re-
gion. The additions will be very acceptable

some time companion to the Primeess Char-
lotte, afterwards the wife of Prince Leepold.
She died in 1837, and left an autobiography,
from which Mr. Stoddard has culled much
interesting gossip. Thomas Raikes was a
man of leisure, a frequenter of the clubs, a
friend of Greville, and acquainted with many
of the English notabilities of his day. His
reminiscences are very entertaining.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have published two
novels which are noticeable: A Mad Marriage,
by May Agnes Fleming; and Ecce Fémina, or
The Woman Zoe, by a writer who styles her-
self Cuyler Pine, and who is really Miss
Peck, who claimed to be the author of Noth-
'ng to Wear, over which there was a contro-
versy several years ago. The poem was a
satire on dress, the novel is a satire on “fash-
ionable religion.” It is written in a lively
style and wili suit the tastes of many. Mrs.
Fleming has obtained an enviable reputation
as a novelist during the past few years, and
her books sell almost as well as those of Mrs.
Southworth. Her last is sensational and ex-
citing from beginning to end. The characters
are varied and cleverly drawn, and lively
incidents follow each other so rapidly that
the interest of the reader never flags.
From Hurd & Houghton we have a new
edition of Judge Holmes's work on The Au-
, thorship of Shakespeare, to which he has added
nearly a hundred pages of new matter, in-
cluding the correspondence between him and
Mr. Spedding, the English editor of Bacon’s
works, who vigorously disputes the claims
put forward in behalf of Bacon. The same
house have issued a volume of peculiar inter-
est, entitled A Group of Poets and their
Haunts, in which the author, Prof. James A.
Harrison, of Randolph-Macon College, Vir-
ginia, writes charmingly of the literary peo-
ple he has met abroad. “The Sorrows of
Heine’’ is a very pathetic account of the
lingering decline of that brilliant author, and
“The Italian Haunts of Lord Byron ’’ is pic-
turesque and lively. The other papers are
equally as interesting — all written with an
enthusiasm that irresistibly affects the reader.
Sheldon & Co. have issued a profusely illus-
trated History of the United States, by Ben-
son J. Lossing, designed for schools, but an
attraetive book for children anywhere ; Jus-
tin McCarthy’s story, Paul Massie ; and Love

McCarthy is always a pleasing author. In
this novel are some fine character drawings
and curious plots, ingeniously developed. It
is probably one of the author's best. Mr.
Sheppard’s novel is a good love story, but a
better sea story. There is a capture by
pirates and subsequent rescue, and the pic-
tures of life in the steerage and cabin of a
war-ship are quite attractive.

BOSTON, June 1, 1875.
Our publishers are holding over a number
of good books which were intended for this
spring, and they will be kept until a brisker
trade will justify their issue. We have scarce-
ly ceased finding fault with the lateness of
the spring, when we find ourselves complain.
ing of the too early summer. As we have
had no spring, perhaps it is not surprising
that we have had no spring trade. If we may
call the trade of the past month a summer
trade, it has been very fair.
Roberts Brothers have published, under the
title of Freedom, and Fellowship in Religion, a
collection of essays and addresses, edited by
a-committee of the Free Religious Associa-
tion. They include “Freedom in Religion,”
by Samuel Johnson ; “Religion and Science,”
by John Weiss ; “The Unity and Universality
of the Religious Ideas,” by Samuel Longfel-
low ; “The Soul of Protestantism,” by Rev.
O. B. Frothingham ; “The Word Philanthro-
py,” by T. W. Higginson, and other papers
by Edna D. Cheney, John W. Chadwick, F.
E. Abbott, William J. Potter, and David A.
Wasson. Whatever may be thought of the
doctrines they inculcate, the papers are all
scholarly and able, Mr. Higginson's and Mr.
Frothingham's being probably the best. In
an introductory paper Mr. Frothingham sets
forth the religious outlook, arguing that re-
ligious questions now “occupy the thoughts
of men more than ever before, entering into
nearly all human affairs; but there is a chaotic
state of opinion, resulting from the general
breaking up of the Christian system, while
Intelligence is diligently seeking for an is-
sue out from the falling city.” He goes on to
say that the destructive period has nearly
passed by, and the constructive period has
already begun. The reader is informed that
“this volume of essays, printed under the aus-
pices of .the Free lºeligious Association, writ-
ten by different minds in different moods, for
different occasions, working without the least
reference to one another, and associated here
by no other bond than that of a common feel-
ing of intellectual need º is thrown
out as their contribution towards the relig-
ion of the future.” I have given the scope of
the book at this length, because it really con-
tains the best arguments of the free thinkers,
and the array of names contributing to its
pages will secure for it wide attention.
A volume of an entirely different character,
184
THE AMERICAN booksellERs cuſpſ.
also from Roberts Brothers, is Through the
Year, written by Rev. Horatio N. Powers, of
St. John's Church, Chicago. It consists of
short devotional essays adapted to the seasons
of nature and of the church. They are on a
great variety of subjects, full of pure, elevating
thought and christian devotion. Under the
general head of Nature, Humanity, and Relig-
ion, are readable papers on Agassiz, Sumner,
and Kingsley. A cheap edition of Our New
Crusade is issued under the title of The Good
Time Coming. Jean Ingelow's novel, ſºtted to
be Free, will not appear until late in the
summer or early in the fall.
One of the latest books from Estes &
JLauriat is Professor Burt G. Wilder's What
Young People Should Know, over which there
has been quite a controversy as to whether
its contents are really what young people
should know or not, or whether these facts
of sexual anatomy and physiology should be
given to them in this form, or should be left
to parents to impart. When it is once settled
that the subject should be studied, this vol.
ume is an excellent aid. The other new books
are William Forsyth's History of Dawyers,
noticed last month ; Miss Rovel, by Victor
herbuliez ; Part VII. of “ Half-Hours with In-
sects,” being Insects of the Field, by A. S. Pack-
ard ; and No. 15 of “ Half-Hour Recreations,”
The Sun and the Earth, by Professor Balfour
Stewart. Cherbuliez’s novel has been admir-
ably translated by Frances A. Shaw, and
readers will find it as absorbing in plot, as
bright and sparkling with life, as The Ro-
mance of an IIonest Woman.
Early in the month Estes & Lauriat will
publish Jettatrice, or the Veil Withdrawn, a
movel by Madame Augustus Craven; cheap
editions, in paper, of L. N. Comyn's two novels,
Elena, and Atherstone Priory; and will reprint
Henry Kingsley's Stretton. Elena is an Italian
love story, with a sensible, but highly inter-
esting plot, pleasing characters, lively adven-
tures, and pretty scenery. Atherstone Priory
is an entertaining story of English home-life,
presenting the heart-histories of a bevy of
young folks, very much like those we meet
in real life. The author writes very grace-
fully, and with an insight of motives and a
pleasing method of unfolding them which
gives a peculiar interest to his books. They
are no less interesting as works of fiction for
bearing the impress of reality. Part VIII. of
“Half-Hours with Insects,” in which Prof.
Packard treats learnedly and entertainingly
of the Insects of the Forest, will be issued
shortly.
Since my last letter, J. R. Osgood & Co.
have published a volume of Transatlantic
Sketches, by Henry James, Jr.; a new volume
of poems from John G. Saxe, entitled Leisure
Day IRhymes ; a book on Prohibition, by Dio
Lewis; Browning’s poem, Aristophanes’Apolo-
gy; Poetic Studies, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps;
and The Birds and Seasons of New England,

dozen illustrations.

mer book. Mr. James's book possesses more
than ordinary merit, not only for its ele-
gant style, but for the vividness with which
picturesque scenes are presented to the reader.
lt is the result of the author's three years'
stay abroad, chiefly in England and Italy, and
few tourists succeed in seeing so much, and
very few indeed have the power to portray
what they he that Mr. James displays in this
volume. They are certainly the finest sketch-
es of travel we have ever read. Saxe's new
volume contains his most recent productions.
Some of them have been printed so generally
in the newspapers, that they are more or less
familiar, while others seem entirely new.
The public will appreciate them all. Of Aq's-
tophanes' Apology there will be a great diver.
sity of opinion, as there is of everything
Browning writes. Many assert that he is ob.
scure, while others admire his style. Swin-
burne, in his preface to the new edition of
Chapman's works, says: “To tax Mr. Brown-
ing with obscurity is about as accurate as to
call Lynceus purblind, or complain of the slug-
gish action of the electric telegraph.” Aris-
tophanes' Apology is probably the strongest of
his works, displaying great learning and eru-
dition. Mrs. Phe.ps's volume of verses, under
the title of Poetic Studies, contains much to
commend it. The author does better in prose;
but many of her poems display a genuine
poetic talent. Dr. Dio Lewis regards Prohibi-
tion as a failure, and argues that intemperance
can only be subdued by social and religious
influences. He makes many good points, and
his book is worth attention.
Jules Verne's Wreck of the Chancellor, pub-
lished early in the month, is a harrowing tale
of fire at sea and shipwreck, and starvation in
an open boat, and weary watching through
long days and nights for the sail that never,
comes. Like his other books, it is vivid -in
description, and abounds in ingenious devi-
ces. Howells's Their Wedding Journey has
been put in the Saunterer's Series, and Ten-
nyson's Idylls of the Iſing have been pub-
lished in a fine Household Edition, with a
To the Little Classics have
been added Childhood ; Heroism ; and For-

tion, seems to grow better and better. The
last volume contains Poe's “The Gold-Bug,”
Lover’s “The Fairy-Finder,” María Edge-
worth’s “Murad the Unlucky,” Hawthorne's
“The Threefold Destiny,” John Banim’s “The
Rival Dreamers,” and Hale's “The Children of
the Public,” each a gem of English literature.
The next volume will comprise biographical
sketches of the authors from whom selec-
tions have been made, and thus the prose

writers, translated by James Freeman Clark

under the title of Exotics, also a story of
some Lowell factory girls, told in verse by
Lucy Larcom, entitled An Idyl of Work: ; and
a traveler's handbook of The Maritime Prov-
inces of British America, on the plan of
Baedeker's (Huide Books. This will be the
most complete book of the kind on Canada
and the provinces, giving descriptions of
all the points the tourist may be likely to
visit, and the information most wanted by
the traveler.
William F. Gill & Co. will issue some of the
most attractive novelties of the season this
month, The first volume of the Treasure-
Trove Series will head the list. This series
will be edited by Mr. R. H. Stoddard, and will
comprise the choicest gems of the lighter
humorous writings of the prominent English
and American writers. A tempting array of
the “bright things” of modern authors is
offered in the table of contents of the initial
volume of the series, which is entitled “ Bur-
lesque,” “The Noble Savage,” by Charles
Dickens; “Our New Livery and Other Things,”
by Geo. Wm. Curtis; “The Insanity of Cain,”
by Mrs. M. M. Dodge; “The Painter's Bar-
gain,” by Thackeray; “A Visit to the Royal
Exhibition,” by F. C. Burnand ; “An Encoun-
ter with an Interviewer,” by Mark Twain;
“Fireside Saints.” by Douglas Jerrold; “The
Golden Age of New York,” by Washington
Irving ; “Mrs. Brown at the Ray,” by Arthur
Sketchley; “A Virtuoso's Will,” by Addi-
son ; “Directions to Footmen,” by Swift; and
“Simm's Dog,” by Adeler, are the selections
made. - - -
The volumes of the Threasure-Trave. Series
will be of a convenient size, between that of
the ‘‘Bric-à-Brac ’’ and “Little Classic” vol-
umes, will be sold at the popular price of
$1.25 per volume, and will have unique and
characteristic cloth covers. Another series,
to be called “The Satchel Series,” will, as its
name implies, be especially adapted to the
wants of summer travelers. Each volume
will contain complete stories, poems and es-
says, and will be finely illustrated, That the
public will appreciate this endeavor of the
publishers to present popular literature in a
highly artistic form, there can be no doubt.
These volumes will be offered at 50 cents
per part, and each will be complete in itself.
The initial number will contain a new story,
by Miss M. E. Braddon, a poem by Owen
Meredith, and other attractive summer read-
ing. The advance interest in this traveler's
Wade-Mecum, as the series may be termed,
has caused a postponement of the first num-
ber, which is, however, promised by the 12th
instant. -
Arsene Houssaye's “Life in Paris” needs no
introduction. His letters, like those of John
Paul, have been among the most entertaining
features of the New York Tribune and many
persistent requests for their publication in
book form have been made. These demands.
will now be answered, and the book will be .
sought, not only by all tourists going to Paris,
but by the large army of stay-at-homes who
would like to go, but are not likely to get any
nearer to that Mecca than this book; which,
in fact, will carry one very near indeed to
Paris as it is at the present time. Last, but
not least, Messrs. Gill & Co. announce the
latest novel of Mr. Edmund Yates, who is
always sure of a large audience in America.
The book bears the suggestive title of The
Silent Witness,” and, like his Dangerous Game,
which had a very successful run last year, is a
clever and strongly wrought story of dark
conspiracy and crime which this author is so
apt in delineating. The character of the hero-
ine is one of the most interesting of Mr.
Yates's creations. The Silent Witness, will be
published towards the last of the month.
Lee & Shepard have published the long-an.
nounced Morals of Abow Ben Adhem, by D. R.
Locke, better known as Petroleum V. Nasby ;
Ocean Born, a new book by “Oliver Optic,”.
in the Yacht Club Series; Wolf Run, or the
Boys of the Wilderness, by Elijah Kellogg; and a
woulme of sharp, pungent, fragmentary essays
and letters by Wm. B. Greene, under the title
of Socialistic, Communistic, Mutualistic and F.
avancial Fragments. Col. Greene is well known
as a newspaper writer on all manner of social
questions, and this volume is mostly a collee-
tion of such writings, embracing cutting criti-
cisms of Free Love, Communism, Dr. Clark’s
book—Set in Education, Popular Sovereign-
ty, and Financial Matters. There is a read
able paper on the History of Marriage, and a
suggestive and somewhat amusing criticism
of a sermon preached by the Rev. H. W. Foote,
on Personal Responsibility for Public Honesty.
Though everybody will not agree with Colonel
Greene's theories, there is much in the little
volume well worth reading. Of the two new
books for boys, it is not necessary to say a
word to secure for them a welcome. Oliver
Optic's books instruct as well as amuse, and
as a story-teller for the youth, Elijah Kellogg
is not surpassed. He never fails to get down
to the level of the boys for whom he writes,
with whose tastes he seems perfectly familiar.
Mrs. Miller's cook-book, In, the Ritchen, is
nearly ready. It has several merits to com
mend it to practical housekeepers. It is in
convenient shape, the type is large, and the
receipts are reliable and for daily use. An
illustrated book on Childhood, by the Rev. W.
F. Crafts, will be published early in the month.
It is to be a compilation of bright things about
children, their characteristics and influence,
and promises to be very entertaining.
Bunker Hill and Lexington literature is in
demand, and new pamphlets are displayed in .
all the bookstores. Little, Brown & Co. have
just issued a little volume giving an account
of the Battle of Bunker Hill, by Richard Froth-
ingham, taken from his Siege of Boston, pub-
lished some years ago, and said by Mr. Ban-

Massachusetts history. Among the illustra-
tions is a view of Charlestown in 1775, taken
from a cut made soon after the battle; also
Page’s Plan of Action, Roman's Exact View
of the JBattle, and others reproduced in fac-
simile from early engravings.
A. Williams & Co. have issued a new edi-
tion of Mr. David Pulsifer's Account of the Bat-
tle of Bunker Hill, containing Burgoyne's ac-
count, and a map of Boston and Charlestown
at the time, showing the position of the Eng-
lish and American forces. They have also
reprinted from the Unitarian Review, The Con-
cord Fight, by Rev. Grindall Reynolds. Two
other pamphlets worthy of notice have been
printed by Williams & Co.: Letters from Ber-
'muda, written by Mrs. Jane A. Eames, to the
Concord (N.H.) Monitor, and An Open Letter
to the Members of the Massachusetts Medical
Society, on the Nature of Disease, by Edward
E. Denniston, M.D.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. announce Good

W. H. H. Murray, J. M. Merrick, Dickens,
Thackeray and others; and Spring Flowers, or
April, May and June in the Garden, by Edward
S. Rand, Jr. Rev. W. H. H. Murray's Perfect
Horse, formerly published by Osgood, is now on
Shepard’s list. The book, it will be remem.
bered, was first issued two years ago, and con-
tains an introduction by Henry Ward Beecher,
and a treatise by George B. Loring. It is a
capital book on the horse, showing how to
detect his good points, how to breed, train,
drive, and take care of him.
There has been an important change in the
firm of Noyes, Holmes & Co., formerly known
as Crosby & Nichols, then as Crosby, Nichols,
Lee & Co., and Nichols & Noyes, and latterly
composed of Messrs. Henry B. Noyes, Jno. B.
Holmes, John S. Lockwood, and Walter D.
Brooks. Messrs. Noyes and Holmes have now
retired, the latter to start a new stationery
|business in Franklin street, under the firm-
name of J. B. Holmes & Co. The remaining
partners have admitted Mr. P. S. Tobey, and
will continue the business at the old stand,
under the firm-name of Lockwood, Brooks
& Co. It is the intention of the new firm to
pay more attention to the publishing of books,
and also to extend their stationery business.
They have become the publishers of the novels
known as the Old and New Series, including
Hale's In his Name ; Ten Times One is Tem,
and others that were originally published as
serials in Old and Neºp. New editions of these
will be printed, and also a new volume of Cen-
tennial Stories. They have just issued in pamph-
let form Mr. Dana’s able Oration at Leaving-
. tom on the 19th of April last, and a History of
the Battle of Bunker’s Hill, from authentic
sources in print and manuscript, by George E.
Ellis. It is a very accurate account, and is
accompanied by a map of the battle-ground.

tions in regard to teaching and learning to play

PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 1875.
Trade is nearly at a stand-still, and, with
the exception of one or two of our largest
houses, publishers talk discouragingly both
of present trade and future prospects. The
new books issued and in hand are very few.
The Lippincotts have issued a large illus-
trated octavo volume of six hundred pages, on
The Recent Origin of Man, by James C. Southall,
of Richmond, Va. The author holds that the
established facts of science go to prove that
primeval man appeared six or eight thousand
years ago in the East, in a civilized condition,
and there are no human traces behind these ;
that the palaeolithic man of western Europe
was at least an intelligent savage like our
Indian, and neither archaeology nor geology
has detected any earlier human form. He
argues with much force and produces much
evidence against the doctrine of Evolution,
and in favor of the Scriptural record of the
creation. He treats at length of the Megalithic
Monuments, the Lake Dwellings, the Bone
Caves, and other supposed evidences of the
antiquity of man, and altogether the work is an
able one, and likely to attract much attention.
The other books from this house are
Morford's American Guide, which has been
revised and enlarged for the present season ;
the new edition of Prescott's Miscellaneous
Essays, completing the set of fifteen volumes;
David Copperfield, in the new Standard Dick-
ens; a novel by Mrs. J. H. Twells, bearing
the title The Mills of the Gods ; and a new
volume in Professor Browning’s Historica)
Handbooks, a History of the Roman Empire, by
Arthur M. Curteis. The latter volume deals
concisely, but very clearly with Roman his-
tory from the death of Theodosius the Great,
A.D. 375, to the coronation of Charles the
Great in the year 800. It is meant, the author
says in his preface, to be a help towards
bridging over the gulf between the two sec-
tions of history which are popularly supposed
to divide a little after the Christian era into
Ancient and Modern. The volume is supplied
with maps, a synopsis of events, and a copious
index, and, as a handbook, will be very
serviceable. The Mills of the Gods is written
by a well-known Philadelphia lady. It is a
pleasing story of society life, well told.
Lippincott & Co. have issued a new edition
of Knight's Half-Hours with Best Authors,

Porter & Coates have published Th2 Better

subjects, by J. Hain Friswell, author of The
Gentle Life, which has passed through twenty-
one editions, and has deserved all its success.
In The Better Self, the essays are pure but full
of pith and vigor, and none the less heroic
for dealing with subjects usually discarded
by the poet and philosopher; for, as the
author says, the fashion is to simulate the
passion of the poet and to strut where we
should walk. Among the subjects treated are,
Young Children, The Girls at Hohne, Sneers
and Ill-nature, Pretension and Sentiment, etc.
Diseases of the Horse, and How to Treat Them,
by Robert Chawner, is an attempt to supply
a concise handbook on the subject, on which,
the author says, no new work has appeared
in twelve or fifteen years. He thinks that the
new diseases, or new forms of old ones, have
never before been properly treated in any
manual. The causes, symptoms, and treat-
ment of the various diseases which horse-
flesh is heir to are briefly but quite thor-
oughly presented, and the work appears to be
a very useful one. -
Two novels have been added to the excellent
International Series : Oldbury, a -story of
English rural life, by Annie Keary, and
At Capri, translated by MS. from the
German of Carl Detlef. Professor Blasius'
book on Storms is promised before the end of
the month, and Castle Daly, a story of Ireland
thirty years ago, by Annie Keary, is also
announced for this month. The readers of
Macmillam's Magazine, where it has appeared
as a serial, pronounce it bright and full of
interest. Porter & Coates have arranged for
the English copyright of the Count de Paris'
work on the American Civil War, and it will
be issued here and in England at the same
date.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have pub-
lished a convenient, interleaved edition of Dr.
Fuch's Practical Guide to the Determination of
Minerals by the Blowpipe, translated and edited
by Prof. T. W. Danby, of Cambridge, and are
printing a Handbook on Land and Marine
Engines, by 'Stephen Roper, the author of the
Handbook of the Locomotive, and other books.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have published
Popery Evposed, translated from F. Petruccelli
de la Gallina. It contains some highly-
wrought stories, a sketch of the present pope,
and much interesting gossip concerning the
men and government of Rome. The Petersons
have also issued new novels from two of our
most popular writers of fiction, Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens and Mrs. Southworth. The first is
Bertha’s Engagement, and Mrs. Southworth’s
is entitled The Mystery of Dark IIollow. If
success be the measure of merit, these two
authors are the best novel-writers of the day,
for no novels are read so universally in this
country as theirs. A inere announcement of
a new story from either of them is sufficient
to the thousands of readers who are familiar
with their previous writings.
Kay & Bro. have just issued Wharton's
Treatise on Homicide, and a little work of local
interest to lawyers, entitled the Pennsylvania
Legal Time-Table. It is prepared by Wm. H.
Browne, and gives the legal requirements
for advertising actions, the time for filing
notices and reports, making returns, etc.,
and much other information in handy form.
The matter of the volume is also condensed
and published in the form of a wall chart.

In a little biography which Charles Reade
has written of his nephew, Winwood Reade,
he says The Outcast was written with the hand
of death upon the author.
The first, volumes of the Memoirs of John
Quincy Adams are nearly out of print. As no
plates have been made, they will not be re-
printed. The sixth volume is the last issued,
and there are to be several more.
S. J. McCormick, of Portland, Oregon, has
sent us a copy of The Oregon Iſand-Book and
Emigrant’s Guide, an illustrated pamphlet of
136 pages, containing a very full description
of the State, its early history, climate, miner-
als, industries and productions, and much other
matter of interest.
Sheldon & Co. have purchased all the re-
maining plates of Gould & Lincoln, with the
right of publication. The list includes among
other important books, Agassiz's Zoëlogy, Dr.
Haven's Intellectual and Moral Philosophy : Dr.
Wayland's Moral Science and Political Economy;
and the Baptist Hymn Book, Service of Song.
Wilson, Hinkle & Co. have completed their
new series of Graded School Readers, which
have been in preparation for several years by
Prof. T. W. Harvey. There are five readers
in the series, all finely illustrated and printed,
and in the selection and arrangement of mat-
ter it would be difficult to suggest an improve-
ment. The lessons in the first book are adapt-
ed to either of the new methods of teaching,
and the selections of the higher books are
mostly new, of sufficient variety, and wholly
unexceptional. The skillful hand of the ex-
perienced teacher is everywhere apparent in
the series, and it will stand the test of the
school-room.
Dr. Buchanan, of Louisville, Ky., has written
a critical work on Philosophy and Philosophers,
reviewing the systems from Plato to Huxley.
It it said to be a very able work.
Robert Carter & Bros. have purchased the
plates of Hugh Miller's works, and will issue
new editions. Of the Testimony of the Rocks
Over 30,000 have been sold, and it is still in
demand. - -
E. J. Hale & Son have ready The Odd Trump,
curiously enough announced last month as
The Odd Trunk. It is full of charming charac-
ter and incident, introducing some lively pic-
tures of student life at the German universi-
ties and at Baden.
Henry L. Shepard & Co., will soon issue the
first part of an illustrated History. of the
Southern Confederacy, by Mr. Eggleston, the
author of A Rebel's Itecollections. It is to be
issued in twelve monthly parts of 64 pages
each, and sold by subscription.
The Enterprise and Mountaineer, of Green-
ville, S. C., thinks that Ex-Governor Perry's
Reminiscences and Sketches, recently publish-
ed in that paper and in The Nineteenth Century,
of Charleston, should be collected and printed
in a volune. There is certainly much in them
that is worth preserving.
A. S. Barnes & Co. have nearly ready a new
Commentary on Matthew and Mark, by Rev.
Lyman Abbott. Other volumes will rapidly
follow, the New Testament to be contained in
four volumes. It is designed to make the
work equal, in adaptation and usefulness to
the lay reader, to Barnes’s Notes.
The losses of Tuttle & Co., by the late fire
in Rutland, Vt., were fully covered by insur-
ance. Their printing and binding departments
were but slightly obstructed, and have been
kept running, while the firm have been selling
off their damaged stock in another store. The
old quarters are being bandsomely refitted,
and will be occupied in a few days with a
full line of new goods.
From S. C. Griggs & Co., Chicago, we have
another volume from the graceful pen of
Benj. F.Taylor, entitled Pictures of Life in Camp
and Field, a series of army letters to the
Chicago Evening Journal. Of all the fine de-
Scriptions of battle-scenes inspired by the ex-
citements of the field, these are probably the
most vivid and artistic ; none the less charm-
ing are they, for the vein of manly pathos
which intersperse the descriptions of the
scenes in camp and field.
Professor Edelb. Jeanrenaud has prepared
a French instruction book entitled Practical
French, which we can recommend to pupils a
little advanced in the study of that language.
It is divided into four parts: the first contains
an alphabetical list of ordinary phrases; the
second treats of the chief difficulties of
conversation ; the third comprises a list of
French Proverbs with the English equivalents;
and the fourth gives an alphabetical list of
English verbs which depend for their meaning
upon prepositions.

R. Worthington & Co. have imported Rough
Notes on the Large Game and Natural History of
South and Southcast Africa, with colored il-
lustrations. If these are rough notes, we
doubt very much if any amount of polish
could better them. The book is written in a
succinct and masterly style, and should com-
mand considerable attention.
J. Sabin & Sons announce that they are
about to reproduce George Cruikshank's My
Sketch Book, which has become very rare. The
reproduction is to be an exact fac-simile, to
be printed by hand on fine plate paper. It
will be also the same in sizé as the original,
oblong folio. A few copies will be printed on
India paper, for special admirers of the humor-
ous artist, whose genius has achieved a world-
wide fame.
From E. J. Hale & Son we have, in a neatly
»rinted pamphlet, the Address of the Hon.
Wm. A. Graham, on the Mecklenburg Dec-
laration of Independence, delivered in Char-
lotte, N. C., last February. In an appendix of
sixty pages are containel all the important
documents cited in support of the claim of
the Mecklenburg patriots, with fac-similes of
the signatures of the twenty three delegates
who signed the Declaration.
Loring has published Mildred's JWedding,
by Mrs. Notley. It is very strong and in-
genious in plot, somewhat weird and fantas-
tic, but withal fascinating. Having become
involved in its mysteries, the reader will be
unwilling to drop the volume until those
mysteries are all solved.
Mr. D. Van Nostrand cautions the trade
against introducing into this country an Eng-
lish edition of “Plattner’s Manual of Quali-
tive and Quantitive Analysis with the Blow-
Pipe,” bearing the name of T. Hugo Cookesley
as editor, and published in London by Chatto &
Windus. Mr. Van Nostrand claims that it is a
verbatim reprint of his edition, with the ex-
ception of the omission of a few tables and of
Some other matter of slight importance.
The awards for supplying stationery to the
Interior Department for the coming year were
made on the 22d ult. The following firms
outside of Washington received awards: P.W.
Durham, New York, for supplyings tracing-
cloth, cloth-lined wrappers, folio post, and
yellow wrapping paper; the Morgan Envelope
Company, for mucilage, writing paper, enve-
lopes, and bond-paper; the Owen Paper Com-
pany, Housatonic, Mass., for note paper, linen
note paper, and fourteen-pound quarto post
paper. The other awards were divided among
the stationers of Washington.
Fusang, or the Discovery of America by Chi-
mese Buddhist Priests in the Fifth Century, is
the title of a curious volume by Mr. Charles
G. Leland, published by J. W. Boutón.
It sets forth the evidences which exist that
Hoei-shin, a Chinese priest, visited the west-
ern coast of America in A.D. 499. His report
was entered on the annals of the Chinese
Empire, and all sorts of stories have been
told concerning it. In 1841 Prof. Neumann,
of the University of Munich, published with
comments a translation of Hoei-shin's account,
and Mr. Leland has now translated Dr. Neu-
mann's paper into English. He has included
in the volume other evidence that the account
is a true One.
James Campbell, Boston, has published a
second edition of The History and Philosophy of
Marriage, revised arid enlarged by the addi-
tion of new matter, including a reply to one
of his critics. The author's arguments in
favor of polygamy have been severely assail-
ed; but whatever may be said of their hetero-
doxy, they are evidently honest, and the book
suggests some awkward social problems.
A. D. F. Randolph & Co. have published in
a neat volume a vivid account of the wreck of
the Ville-du-Havre, translated from the French
of the Rev. N. Weiss, who was a passenger
on his return from the Evangelical Alliance
to France. There is a mournful interest in
this volume to those who lost friends on the
ill-fated steamer, and the graphic sketches of
a passenger’s life at sea, as well as the story C f
the wreck, are well worth reading.
We have received from the Industrial Pub-
lishing Company, Practical Hints on the Selec-
tion of the Microscope, by John Phin, editor of
The Technologist. It is a manual intended for
beginners, to whom it will be of great service.
It describes the various kinds of the micro.
scope, shows how to select an instrument
for practical and special purposes, what ac-
cessory apparatus to use, how to collect ob-
jects and prepare them for czamination — in
short, everything that the amateur needs to
know. .
John Murphy & Co., Baltimore, have pub-
lish a new edition—the third—of Lingard’s
History of England, abridged, with a continua-
tion from 1688 to 1854, by James Burke, also
an appendix bringing the work down to 1873.
The volume also contains a memoir of Dr.
Lingard, and marginal notes by M. J. Kerney.
The History was first issued nearly fifty years
ago, and is well known. Mrs Burke's
Abridgement of the work, which first appeared
in 1855, has been highly praised, and the
work as now issued is a very complete and
convenient Catholic History.
The sensation caused by the Greville Me-
moirs has scarcely died away, when we are
called upon to notice the Life and Letters of
Lord Minto, a book of much the same charac.
ter, but coverfng an epoch of English History
of far more importance to Americans. The
Princess of Wales (afterwards Queen Caro-
line), seems to have consulted Lord Minto on
several occasions, relative to her future con-
duct towards the Prince; and the Irish Rebel-
lion, including Lord Minto's celebrated speech
on the Union, and the Fitzherbert Scan-
dal, are both treated at length. Altogether,
this book is of far greater promise than any-
thing that has yet appeared relative to that
eventful period.

Travels, as told by a Contemporary 3,800 years
ago,” in which is condensed the results of re-
cent researches and discoveries in the East.
The popularity of the handy and valuable

Dr. Robert Brown of England is translating
Dr. Rink’s “Legends and Traditions of the

Madame Michelet has written and pub-
lished a pamphlet entitled the Tomb of Miche.
let, vindicating her action in the controversy
with M. Dumesuil as to where her husband
should bea buried. The main interest of the
work is in the light which it throws upon
Michelet's views of death and immortality.
Longmans & Co. have planned a serise
of half-crown volumes, to be called the London
Series of English Classics. It is to be edited
by Messrs. G. W. Forrest and J. W. Hales,
and will include works from all periods of Eng-
lish literature, with explanatory notes, and
each volume will have an intröduction deal-
ing with the life and times and writings of
the author. Distinguished German and Amer-
ican, as well as English Scholars, will con-
tribute to make the series a valuable aid to
the study of English literature.

No author of his time, except the late
Alexander Dumas, has made as much money
as Victor Hugo. He has been famous as a
writer for nearly fifty years, during thirty of
which his reputation has been world-wide. In
that time everything that bore his name was
certain to have great sale, and nobody has
been more conscious of the fact than himself.
Generous as he is said to be, he drives close
bargains with his publishers, getting for his
work every franc that they will pay. It is
estimated that Hugo has realized by his" pen
3,000,000 francs ($600,000). His dramas alone
have netted him 700,000 francs. For “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame,” printed before
he was thirty, he got but 40,000 francs, and
for “Les Miserables,” issued thirty years later,
he received 500,000 francs. ©
INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.—A deputation
of English authors recently waited on Mr.
Disraeli to make representations and obtain
his views in regard to international copyright,
The deputation consisted of Messrs. Blanchard
Jerrold, Tom Taylor, Charles Reade, Charles
Dickens, G. A. Sala, and Charles Mackay, and
Miss Braddon and Mrs. Wood, and many
other well-known literary persons. Mr.
Edward Jenkins, Member of Parliament
for Dundee, and author of Gina's Baby, ad-
dressed Mr. Disraeli on the part of the deputa.
tion. He pointed to the appropriation and
mutilation of the works of British authors by
the book publishers of the United States, and
asked if some remedy could not be found for
the grievances.
Mr. Disraeli replied that the subject had al-
ready come before the government on the ques-
tion whether a revision of the copyright law in
regard to dramas was desirable. The govern-
ment would give the matter full attention,
and strive to remove the annoyances and vex-
ations now existing, but it must have time to
consider what method to adopt. He was of
opinion that a royal commission would be
better than a committee of the House of Com-
mons, because it would be more likely to be
well acquainted with the subject.

The name of the American Sportsman, pub-
lished at West Meriden, Conn., has been
changed to The ſtod and Gun, a name more
appropriate to its purpose and scope. -
Old and New has been merged in Scribner’s
Monthly. The editor of the former, E. E. Hale,
is retained as a contributor, and will write
one of the serial stories for next year.
The greedy St. Nicholas has absorbed no less
than five juvenile magazines: Our Young
Folks, The Riverside, Jittle Corporal, Schoolday
Magazine, and The Children's Hour.
Peterson's Journal has given up the plan of
having all its stories complete in one number;
and the number for June, the first of the sec-
ond volume, contains the first chapters of a
serial by Mrs. May Agnes Fleming.
It may be a consolation for those whose lit-
erary efforts have been “respectfully de-
clined ” by our serial story-papers, to know
that the New York, Weekly has on hand un-
used MMS. for which they have paid nearly
$200,000.
Boston is to have a new juvenile magazine,
to be published by D. Lothrop & Co., and to
be called The Wide Awake. It is to be edited
by Miss Ella Farman, and among its contribu-
tors will be R. H. Stoddard, Col. Higginson,
Miss Amanda M. Douglass, Sophie May, and
a dozen other well-known writers. Miss Mary
A. Hallock and Sol. Eytinge are among the ar-
tists engaged. The first number is expected
this month.
Four new serials will be commenced in the
July number of Oliver Optic's Magazine, one
by Oliver Optic ; one by Elijah Kellogg; a
story for girls, by Elizabeth A. Dudley ; and
a story of adventure, by Captain Chas W.
Hall, entitled The Great Bonanza. We are
also to have during the year a series of Rem-
iniscences of African Life, by Edward Dus-
sault, Jr., who has just returned from a nine-
teen years’ stay in Africa.
The Arcadian has passed into the hands of
Col. George H. Butler, formerly dramatic
critic of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. In a very
sensible inaugural he says: “Thackeray, in
preparing the prospectus of his imaginary
Pall Mail Gazette, made it an emphatic point
that it would be a paper for gentlenien, writ-
ten by gentlemen... I can think of no better
way to express the feeling with which I
assume control of this journal. There is no
feature of our journalism more distressing
than the tendency of editors to defame each
other. It was one of the severest features in
the censure visited by Mr. Dickens upon
America and American institutions more than
thirty years ago, I do not think we can have
improved very much, and the consequence is
that public opinion, in its estimate of the
press, is too often disposed to regard it as a
huge, brutal, monstrous influence—to be fear
ed and not respected, whose liberty has be-
come license—and the mere existence of which
may in time be incompatible with the free-
dom and self-respect of the citizen.”

merit, and a graceful song entitled Twilight,
A Paris correspondent writes of Johann

It contains many sparkling waltzes that are
likely to become popular.
Lee & Walker have just issued Operatic

The first part, containing fifteen lessons, is
issued. From this house we have also The
Chaplet, from Beethoven, and Meyerbeer's Age
and Youth, for soprano and alto. They are
noteworthy compositions, and we believe have
never before been printed in this country.

PARIS JOURNALISM.-- In one of Arsene
Houssaye's sprightly letters from Paris, he
says: There is one thing we are trying to
borrow from America, and that is the art of
making a newspaper. In Paris we are mere
school-boys, and idlers as well. When we
nave, read the papers, we know no more than
before. We must go into society, on 'Change,
or on the boulevard to learn the news, while
the reporters of the daily papers are playing
dominoes in the cafés. Do you want to know
how a paper is made here ? It is very simple:
the journals make themselves out of one
another. The scissors do far more than the
pen. Paragraphs out of the evening papers
become articles in the morning papers, and
the reverse. You discuss with your oppo-
ment a political question already discussed
a thousand times, and a thousand times more
muddled at the end than the beginning.
Darkness instead of light is thrown upon it.
A prefect of the fourth cf September, who
was as good a prefect as he had been jour-
nalist, 1 ecounted while dining with me at
the Château de Breuil---for it was the Prefect
º
of Laon—how, one morning, seeing that all
his associates had gone off to a civil funeral,
he decided to make the paper by himself. He
scissored away at other papers so much and
so well, that he needed only a line of inven-
tion here and there to reduce the harmony
these heterogeneous ideas gathered from every
side. The paper came out at four o’clock, and
at five, his editor-in-chief, who had been to
make a speech at the Givil funeral, came to
congratulate him, saying the paper had never
been so complete or so interesting. Since
that time the editor-in-chief has followed no
other system. Perhaps you imagine in read-
ing our papers that all those fine things leap
alive from the brain of Minerva. They have
usually existed at least a hundred times the
life of the rose, and are taken up and turned
inside out for the occasion. For instance, M.
Emile de Girardin has always a highly in-
terrogative article ready for any posible
event. We call this reserved wit.

HYPPOLYTE ADOLPHE TAINE, the acute
philosopher and brilliant writer, was born at
Vanziers, in the Ardennes, in 1828. His fa-
ther was a solicitor. From an uncle who had
lived in America he early learned to read
and speak English. At the age of sixteen he
went to Paris and became a student at the
Bourbon College, where he obtained the first
prize in rhetoric and the two second prizes
in philosophy. At the age of twenty-one he
entered the Normal School, having Edmund
About for a classmate. It is said of him at this
time that he was accustomed to do the work
of five or six weeks in one, devoting the leisure
time gained to reading. It was in this way he
went over the course of philosophy from
Thales down to Schilling, and of theology frcrºm
Patras to St. Augustine.

The Managers of the American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
Jisappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mud that we must have one or the other. 21.--In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Oſfice Money Older on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publicatious are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had pºlid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (iuclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form :

THE Book MARKET
NEW YORK, July 1, 1875.
We are in the dull season of a dull year,
and though sales are steady, they are very
small. The trade are ordering only to meet
the actual demands of the present, and while
the stocks of the retailers in the smaller towns
are very low, jobbers and large dealers in the
book centres are carrying larger stocks than
usual at this season. Prospects for a fair fall
trade are very good, but the book trade is so
dependent on the general prosperity or de-
pression that it is impossible to forecast its
future without taking into account the con-
dition of all other business interests. When
business in general is good, books will sell ;
when other trades are doing but little and
working people are idle, booksellers are among
the first to feel the hard times. In business
circles there is a hopeful feeling that the fall
will bring something like the old activity.
The large stocks of goods in the hands of
manufacturers are becoming exhausted, and
a slight increase in demand will set the mills
running on full time. We have learned the
lessons of economy in business and in private
life, and there is a wider feeling of security
than existed a year ago.
But few books have been published during
the month, and there will be fewer still for
the month to come, which will be a somewhat
eventful one to the trade. The convention
which meets at Niagara on the 13th will claim
general attention, and the Book Fair or Ex
change, which will be held in this city July
19th, will be watched with much interest, as
an experiment. There are many who do not
hesitate to avow their disbelief of its success,
or benefits to the trade if it does succeed.
There are some who prefer the old trade-sales,
and others who think that, with our facilities
for ordering and filling orders in this country,
neither a Trade Sale nor an Exchange can be
of any use to the trade.
The best selling book of the month has
been Sherman's Memoirs. Since its issue the
Appletons have published in their series of
History Primers, C. A. Fyffe's History of Greece;
an excellent guide to recent English literature
by G. A. F. Van Rhyn, entitled What and How
to Read : A Paston's Recollections, by Rev.
T. G. Dashiel ; and John Dorrien, a novel
by Julia Kavanagh. What and How to Rea.’.
contains the titles of nearly seven thousand
books published within the past five years in
England and the United States, handily ar-
ranged and indexed. The characteristic of
each book, so far as it is adapted for reference,
for the professional or the general reader, is
indicated by numbers. The author of A Pag.
tor’s Recollections is rector of St. Mark's church,
Richmond, Va. His book is a series of remi-
miscences of events which might happen in
the life of any pastor. They are well written
and some of them are interesting.
Harper & Brothers have published Nooks
and Corners of the New England Coast, by
Samuel Adams Drake, who has recently died.
It is very entertaining; descriptions of some
of the most interesting localities of New
England, freely interspersed with anecdotes,
reminiscences, and historical facts. The Early
Rºngs of Norway, by Thomas Carlyle, is a series
of papers collected from Fraser’s Magazine,
which have received unstinted praise. Un-
der the genius of the author the old Norse
kings, whose lives and deeds are veiled in
the obscurity of the past, are made to
pass as living men before the reader. The
volume also includes an essay on the Portraits
of John Knox, Prof. Cairnes's volume on
Political Economy, lately issued here by the
Harpers, is a very .able work, the result of
many years of investigation and study. The
British Quarterly Review) says it is second in
importance only to the treatises of Adam
Smith and Mill. It will be received here with
different degrees of favor, as men may believe
or disbelieve his theories; but there are many
original views in it, and from the author's
standpoint it is the best exposition of the
theories of trade and values yet made.
Whether we coincide with the author's views

or not, his work will command attention as a
very able and a conscientious one. Harpers'
June list contains four new novels, all merit-
orious. Bluebeard's Keys and Other Stories, by
Miss Thackeray, whose fanciful imagery and
graceful style always secure a welcome for
her stories; Walter’s Word, by James Payn;
The Lady Superior, by Eliza F. Pollard; and
Iseulte, a story delicately and artistically
told, by the author of Vera. Mr. Payn’s
novel is as interesting at least as his former
works. Unlike many voluminous novel-writ-
ers, his last is always fresh and new. A book
by Miss Mulock, entitled Sermons Out of
Church, is announced for early issue.
From Robert Carter & Bros. we have two
illustrated books of life in Africa, and Mada.
gascar, Four Years ºn Ashantee, by the two
missionaries Ramseyer and Kuhne, and
Thoelve Months in Madagascar, by the Rev. Dr.
Mullens, also a missionary; Nurses for the
AWeedy, by L. N. R., a London lady who has
taken a great interest in hospital work; Dr.
Jacobus's Notes on the Gospel of John ; Little
Brothers and Sisters, by Emma Marshall, con-
taining two pretty stories for children, of more
than average merit; and the second volume of
Dr. Guthrie's Autobiography and Memoir.
The Autobiography, in the first volume, it
will be remembered, was discontinued at a
most interesting portion of the great Scottish
divine's life. The story is continued by his
Sons in the second volume. The Memoir,
closes with his death in 1873. It throws
much light on the disruption of the Scottish
church, the Ragged Schools, and the estab-
lishment of National Education.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have issued a new
edition of the works of Artemus Ward, in one
Volume, with a portrait of the humorist and
a new sketch of his life. It includes “His
Book,” “Travels,” “London,” and “Lec-
tures.” Carleton has also issued Manfred, a
novel, by F. D. Guerrazzi, the Italian author
of Beatrice Cenci, which was widely read.
The new work, like the former one, is trans-
lated by Luigi Monti, late United States Con-
sul at Palermo.
From E. P. Dutton & Co. we have The
Bible Educator, a large work in two octavo
volumes, edited by the Rev. E. H. Plumptre.
It is something more than a manual, and if
less in scope than a complete cyclopaedia, it is
more thorough and satisfactory as far as it
goes. The profoundest scholars, both in and
Out of the church have contributed their wis-
dom to its pages, among them the Bishop of
Derry, Dr. Vaughan, Dr. Payne Smith; Mr. Stai-
ner, organist of St. Paul’s Cathedral, treats of
the music of the Bible ; Mr. Carruthers, of the
British Museum, of the plants; Professor
Rawlinson, of Oxford, of coins, medals, and
inscriptions; and biblical psychology is treat-
ed in five learned essays, by Rev. J. B. Heard,
of Caius College, Cambridge.
Dodd & Mead have issued Doing and Dream-
$ng, by Edward Garrett; a volume of poetry,
Ensemore and Other Poems, by P. Hamilton
Myers, whom the readers of the leading
weekly story-papers of a dozen years ago will
remember as the author of some of the most
charming stories of old New York ever writ-
ten ; and The French at Home, by Albert
Rhodes, a chatty book, illustrated by lively
little cuts. Mr. Rhodes has had abundant op-
portunity to study the French and to contrast
them with other peoples, and the result of
his observations makes a very entertaining
volume. .
J. B. Ford & Co. have published a new vol-
ume of Sermons and Discourses, by Henry
Ward Beecher; and The Abbé Tºgrame, a novel
from the French of Ferdinand Fabre,
translated by Rev. Leonard W. Bacon, son of
Dr. Bacon, of New Haven. ” It is a bright,
racy story, without immorality; very much
French, graphic, vivacious, and with consid-
erable dramatic power. It is extremely anti-
Catholic, and some of its characters are sup
posed to represent real personages. The
volume of Beecher’s sermons is entitled
A Summer Parish, and includes five sermons
and twelve morning service discourses, de-
livered last summer at the White Mountains,
New Hampshire.
The Orange Judd Co., from whom we get
Some of the best of our farming and indus-
trial books, have recently issued a very hand-
Some illustrated catalogue, which every book-
seller ought to have, as it contains many
books that are often inquired for, and which
country booksellers, at least, should keep on
hand. The latest books from this house are
Geyelin’s Poultry Breeding in a commercial
point of view, showing how it is conducted
by the National Poultry Company in Kent,
England; a volume on the Soiling of Cattle,
with an address, containing many suggestions
of use to farmers, by Josiah Quincy; Chemistry
of the Farm and the Sea, by Dr. James R.
Nichols; and an elaborate quarto Volume on
American Architecture, by G. B. Croft. The
work contains a large number of plans of re-
.sidences, churches, schools, store fronts, with
details and plans for interior and exterior finish
and decorations. Most of the plans are original,
and the work is invaluable to the builder, or
those who design to build, either in eity or
country. The plates are beautifully executed,
and some of them are colored. -
Henry Holt has brought out Auerbach's
novel, On the Eleights, in a two-dollar volume
of over six hundred pages, and also in two
volumes of the Leisure Hour Series. It is
probably the strongest of this able novelist’s
works, and he should not be missed by any
lover of fiction.
G. P. Putnam’s Sons have issued the first
part of Old New York, by Mrs. Eliza Greato-
rex, consisting of thirty-five pages of text
and seven illustrations, etchings of old land-
marks. The text is very pleasant gossip
about old residents, and the whole is prefac-
ed by William Cullen Bryant. Among the

BosTON, July 1, 1875.
The Bunker Hill celebration has engaged
so much of the attention of our booksellers,
as of all other classes of our citizens, during
a considerable portion of the past month, that
but little thought has been given to books, if
we except the little pamphlets and brochures
pertaining to the events commemorated. Some
of these have been in large demand, notably
Osgood’s Memorial, of which nearly 40,000
copies have been sold. Most of our publish-
ers and booksellers will be represented at the
coming Convention at Niagara, but there is
a great diversity of opinion as to what will be
done and what ought to be done there Of
new books to bring to the attention of the
trade there are very few, and it is yet too
early to speak of the plans for the fall with
any certainty of fullness.
Little, Brown & Co, have revised and con-
siderably enlarged Bartlett’s Familiar Quota-
tions, and a seventh edition will be issued in
a few days. Later in the summer, they will
reissue Mr. George B. Emerson’s report on
the trees and shrubs growing naturally in the
forests of Massachusetts. In 1836 Mr. Emer-
son was appointed by Edward Everett, who
was then Governor of Massachusetts, a com-
missioner to collect this information. The
report was first issued in 1846. It is an im-
portant work of its kind and will be issued in
two volumes, containing several hundred
plates, colored and plain.
Estes & Lauriat published early in the
month Jettatrict, , and new editions of Stretton,
Elena, and 4therstone Priory, all of which we
have noticed in former letters. They an-
nounce for this date a new edition of Charles
Auchester', by the author of Rumor ; also two
new novels, Open Sesame, by Florence Marry-
at, just finished in the London Society maga-
zine, and spoken very highly of in England;
and A Woman’s Ransom, by F. W. Robinson.
Front Roberts Brothers we have not had a
single book for a month. The public may
not look to these publishers for a large num-
ber of books, but they have become accus-
tomed to look for good ones, and they are
seldom or never disappointed. To thousands
of readers the imprint of Roberts Brothers on
a volume is sufficient commendation. The
only book announced by them is Jean Inge-
low’s new novel, Futed to be Free, which is
issued to-day. Though some of the characters
of Off the Skelligs appear in the new story, it
is by no means dependent on the former novel
for its interest. Frtted to be Hºh'ée is now run-
ning as a serial in Good Words, and will not
be published in England. until next fall.
Roberts Brothers bring it out here under a
special arrangement with the author, who has
written a preface especially for the American
edition. Jean Ingelow’s novels are the oppo-
site of sensational, but are full of quiet pic-
tures of life, so real that it is difficult for the
reader to rid himself of the impression that
| the author has figured in them herself.
William F. Gill & Co. have just ready The
Silent Witness, a lively novel by Edmund
Yates; the first volume of the Treasure Trove
Series; and Number One of the Satchel Series.
The first of the Treasure Trove Series is a
pretty, square 16mo, entitled Burlesque. It
contains “The Noble Savage,” by Dickens;
“Our New Livery,” by G. W. Curtis; “An
Encounter with an Interviewer,” by Twain ;
“In an Art Gallery,” by Burnand; “Mrs.
Battles' Opinion on Cards and Whist,” by
Charles Lamb; “The Parish Revolution,” by
Hood ; “A Virtuoso's Will,” by Addison;
“The Insanity of Cain,” by Mary Mapes
Dodge ; “Mrs. Brown at the Play,” by Arthur
Sketchley; and “The Golden Age of New
York,” by Washington Irving.’ .
The caitor of the series, Mr. R. H. Stoddard,
introduces it with a very neat preface. The
second volume, which is to follow in a week
or two, will be Travesty, and will comprise
selections equally as bright. The first Satchel
volume contains “Old Rudderford Hall,” a
story by Miss Braddon ; a sketch by Wilkie
Collins; one by M. Quad, the Detroit humor-
ist, and other good things. The volume of
Arsene Houssaye's piquant letters, under the
title of Life in Paris, is nearly ready, and two
new novels of home life are in preparation—
Oa ing for No Mºtiv, by Linn B. Porter, and
Winning Ller Kingdom, by Miss Amanda M.
Douglass. -
One of the best accounts of The Batle of
Bunker IIill is that by George E. Ellis, issued
by Lockwood, Brooks & Co., they have also
issued a pamphlet of forty pages entitled
One Hundred Year's Affo , or, How the Wa).
Began, in which Rev. Edward E. Hale, in a
running account of the events in the early
part of 1775, introduces such original narra- .
tives, ballads, and reports as show what the
people thought of those events at the time.
It is the design of the publishers to enlarge
the pamphlet from time to time, by similar
papers, extending through the period of the
War of the Revolution. They have just re-
printed several of the Old and ... evo stories by
Mr. Hale, in fifty cent volumes. The series
includes In His Name, Ten Times One is Ten;
Stand and Wait, The Lost Palace, and others.
A volume of Alicient History, by Dr. John
Lord, is in preparation ; also a book entitled
Toward the Straight Gate, by Dr. E. F. Burr,
the author of Ecce Caºluºn. Dr. Lord’s book
corresponds in style with his work on Modern
History, which has enjoyed a popularity of
many years. They are preparing for the fall
a volume of German Fairy Tales tranſslated
by Mrs. Lander, to be published under the
title of Fairy Bºlls, and What They Toled.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
Lee & Shepard have issued a somewhat
unique volume, entitled Childhood: The Teat-
Book of the Age, by W. F. Crafts The author
dwells lovingly on the characteristics of
children, the study. and appreciation of
childhood and the pleasure to be derived
therefrom, the significance of play, and kin-
dred subjects. A large portion of the book is
devoted to excerpts, anecdotes, and Smart say-
ings of children, and altogether, to those who
take an interest in the little ones (and who
does not ?), the volume affords enjoyable read-
ing. One of the best new accounts of the
battle of Bunker Hill was published on the
17th of June last by the Boston Herald. It
was written by Mr. W. W. Wheildon, for
many years editor of the Bunker Hill Aurora,
and differs from other accounts, in giving mot
only the details of the battle, but the events
3) receding, the opinions of leading men, and
the causes which remotely and directly led to
£he battle. Lee & Shepard have just reprinted
it in pamphlet form. They have in prepara-
ſtion for the early fall the first volumes of a
new series of juveniles, by the Rev. Damiel
Wise, who writes for the little folks under
;the name of “ Francés Forrester.”
J. R. Osgood & Co. have issued their usual
xnumber of new books every week during the
.xmouth. First we had the beautiful little
... Bunker Hil, Memorial, containing the poem,
. Grandmother's Story, by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, which has been copied by the news.
...papers all over the country. On the same
...day was issued Lucy Larcom’s story in verse
of mill life in New England, under the title
of An Idyl of Work, a new novel, One Sum-
3mer. in the Saunterer's series; The Maritime
JProvinces, a guide to the cities, islands, and
places of resort along the coasts of Canada
- and Newfoundland, and the St. Lawrence
River and Gulf ; and a little book suitable for
these economical times, by M. F. Sweetser,
, Europe for Two Dollars a Day, in which the
Furopean tourist who is blessed with but a
limited amount of the needful, will find many
Auseful suggestions, given from the experience
...of the author. Miss Larcom’s book embodies
her own recollections of life in a Lowell fac-
...tory thirty years ago, when the girls wrote
poetry for the Lowell papers, and loved and
sighed and gossiped just like the girls who
don’t work in a mill. Some of the author's
Adescriptions of scenery are very beautiful.
Łater in the month Osgood published a
very entertaining volume, by E. C. Gardner,
entitled Illustrated Homes, a volume of short
poems translated from German, French, Per-
sian, and Latin, under the title of Evotics; a
new edition of Boston Illustrated, containing
much new matter ; a new volume of the Lit-
fle Classics; and a book on The Origin and
Antiquity of Engraving, by W. S. Baker, with
Jheliotype illustrations. Tennyson’s new
drantatic poem, Queen Mary, was issued last
week, and a new novel by Mrs. J. K. Spender,
entitled Jocelyn's Mistake. Mrs. Spender is
&
the author of Parted Dives and a number of
other novels, which have met with fair suc-
cess in England, but this is the first of her
books that have been published here. Mr.
Tennyson's drama is in five acts, beginning
with the accession of Queen Mary and closing
with her death. The tragic events of her
reign are depicted with great power, and this,
his first drama, will be held as the greatest of
the efforts of the poet laureate. Its production
has been the literary event of the year in Eng-
land, and it will be as warmly received here.
Illustrated Homes is even a more delightful vol.
ume than Mr.Gardner's previous book, Ilome8
and How to Make Them. It shows how a house
may represent the tastes and needs of the
owner, and how those tastes and needs may
be met. The volume is a very practical one
and may be read with profit as well as pleas-
ure. The translations in the little volume of
Evotics, which, by the way, seem to flourish
very well in English soil, are of exceptional
merit. Not only is the meaning preserved, but
also the poetic spirit and effect of the rhythm.
The thirteenth volume of the Little Classics
is devoted to narrative poetry, and contains
Goldsmith’s “Deserted Village,” Coleridge's
“Ancient Mariner,” Byron’s “Prisoner of
Chillon,” Keats's “Eve of St. Agnes,” Poe's
“ Raven,” Burns’ “Tam O’Shanter,” Ma-
caulay’s “Horatius,” and selections from
Longfellow, Tennyson, Campbell, Shelley,
Moore, Hood, and others. From the start,
the little books of this series have been very
popular, and deservedly so. Many of the
selections here preserved in durable form
have never before been printed in books, and
there are many others, real gems, that it
would be difficult for the average reader to
find elsewhere. Early in the present month
Osgood & Co. will publish the papers of Mrs.
A. M. Diaz, the author of the William Henry
Books, which recently appeared in the New
York weekly Tribune, and which have been
revised and extended and will bear the title,
A Domestic Problem , Work and Culture ºn the
Blousehold. A new novel by IIamilton Aïdé,
entitled A Nine Days' Wonder, will be issued
in a few days. There are many readers who
remember this author's Penºuddocke with
pleasure, and who will be glad to have another
novel from him.
D. Lothrop & Co. will publish two new books
by “Pansy " this summer, Cunning Work-
men and Grandpa's Darlings. Dr. F. Chaplin
is at work on a Life of Franklin, in the style
of the author’s Life of Sumner. It will be
published in the fall. Dr. Banyard is writing
a book on the Soldiers and Patriots of the
Revolution, which will also be published by
Lothrop in the early fall. A new edition of
Smith's Bible Dictionary is in rapid prepara-
tion, which is to include, beside the matter of
the old edition, Palmer’s Illustrated History
of the Jews, also an appendix by Dr. Heman
Lincoln, containing results of recent explora-
tions, and much interesting matter not found

in the body of the work. Lothrop has ready
a new edition of the Life of Amos Lawrence,
and a new edition of Dr. Banvard’s Life of
Daniel Webster is being printed. Both books
have been out of print for some time.
The second number of the new juvenile
magazine, Wide Awake, is even better than
the first. It contains sixty-four pages of read-
ing matter, including a story by Rossiter
Johnson about “Two Fortune Seekers,” a
paper on Ben Franklin by Dr. Chaplin; one
on “How to Amuse Babies,” and others, all
finely illustrated, and well calculated to please
the little folks.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1, 1875.
Very few new books have appeared here
during the month, but the demand for them
has been far less than the supply.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have completed their
new edition of Prescott's Works by the issue
of his Miscellaneous Essays, and have published
the sixth volume of the Memoirs of John
Quincy Adams, while the first volume is al-
ready out of print. This is unfortunate for
those who may wish to secure the whole work,
for it has been printed from the type, and is
limited to one edition. The first volumes will
soon be scarce in the trade. The new edition
of Prescott is in fourteen volumes, and a hand-
somer set of books, so far as their mechanical
execution goes, cannot be easily found. Their
historical value is beyond question. A new
and cheaper edition of Dr. Forwood’s book on
The Mammoth Cave has been printed with
map and illustrations, and a new edition of
The Romance of Natural History, by Philip
Henry Gosse, F.R.S., has just been issued.
It was formerly published by Gould & Lincoln.
Of Lippincott's latest novels, Sigma, by |
“Ouida,” is already in its fifth edition, and
Mrs. Wistar's translation of Wichert’s Ger-
man romance, The Green Gate, is receiving
the attention it deserves. Though the style is
refined and smooth, it is by no means tame,
and all novel-readers, except those who can
follow the most sensational school of writers,
will enjoy it. Even the lovers of the sensa-
tional will like Sigma, as well as the more re-
fined and fastidious reader. It is lively and
brilliant, plotty and fanciful. Ouida’s now-
els come nearer to pleasing all, perhaps, than
any other living writer of English fiction.
Other books from this house are a volume of
poems from “The Anonymous Poet of Poland,”
Count Sigismund ; a volume of English Gipsy
Songs, with English translations in verse, by
Charles G. Leland, E. H. Palmer, and Janet
Tuckey; and a volume on Social Science, by
R. J. Wright, under the title of Principia; or,
Basis of Sacial Science, announced as a “sur-
vey of the subject, from the moral and theo-
logical, yet liberal and progressive stand-
point.”
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have issued
Roper’s Bland-book of Land and Marine En-
gîmes, containing instructions for designing,
modeling, making and running engines and
boilers. Particular fittention is given to the
latest improvements, and the book is valuable
to practical engineers for reference. -
Early in the present month, Claxton, Rem-
sen & Haffelfinger will issue in a volume en-
titled Jonah, the Self. Willed Prophet, an expo-
sition of the Scriptural Book of Jonah, by
Stuart Mitchell. The writer says that while
German and British books on Jonah are
abundant, very little has been written by
Americans, and as he has seen no book on the
subject which suits him, he has written one
himself. With a view of enabling the reader
to use his own judgment with as little bias as
may be from the translator, he has given us a
literal translation of the book from the He-
brew. This house will have ready in a few
days a novel from the French of Fortuné Du
Boisgotey, entitled The Golden Tress. It is
filled with the most sensational incidents,
duels, murders, suicides—terrible accidents
and miraculous escapes following each other
So rapidly as almost to take one’s breath away.
It has a good plot, however, worked up with
rare ingenuity. The author, though unknown
in this country, is making a reputation in Paris
as a writer of sensational fiction, and this book
has met with marked success there. A new
book from the author of Odd Hours of a Phy-
8ècian, is in the press, and will be issued short-
ly. It is somewhat speculative in character,
and bears the odd title Two Thousand Years
After ; or, Man and Soul Different Things.
The author disguises his identity under the
7\om de plume of John Darby.
T. Ellwood Zell has ready his Cyclopedia of
American Literature, bound in two handsome
quarto volumes of a thousand pages each.
The first edition of this work, written by
Evert A. and the late George L. Duyckinck,
was published in 1855, by Charles Scribner, .
and contained 1458 pages. It has been care.
fully revised by M. Laird Simons, and en-
larged to its present size, bringing the history
of Amerićan literature down to the beginning
of 1874. It is the fullest and most reliable
record of its growth and the lives of American
writers that we have. Mr. Zell has in prep-
paration a work on Anatomy, on which he has
beeh at work for a number of years. It is de-
signed to surpass any work of the kind ever
made. The plates are being made from natu-
ral subjects, by a new photographic process,
and colored to represent nature. There will
be about fifty colored plates and a large num-
ber of woodcuts. The text is being written
by an eminent anatomist. The work will be
issued in the fall, in a large royal octavo
volume.
From the house of T. B. Peterson & Bros.
we have had a steady flow of summer novels,
embracing new books and new editions of the
best old books, which have afforded delight
to two generations, and still hold their own
in the trade beside the best new novels. Of

the newest announcements of books of this
character are The Countess of Monte Christo,
and the captivating books of Reynolds, Mary
Stuart, Queen of Scots, and The Mysteries of
the Court of Naples. Of cheap novels we have
Sir Walter Scott's The Highland Widow, to be
followed shortly by The Monastery ; and a
new novel from Mrs. Henry Wood, printed
from advance sheets, and entitled Frances
Hildyard. •
The readers of Mrs. C. A. Warfield’s The
Household of Bouverie will be pleased to learn
that the Messrs. Peterson have made an ar-
rangement with the author, by which they
become her future publishers, and they will
issue at once a new edition of all her books,
revised by the author. They have also in
press a new novel by Mrs. Warfield, entitled
A Double Wedding ; or, How She Was Wom.
The new cook-book, The Queen of the Kitchen,
is having a very good sale. Miss Tyson, the
writer, is a well known lady of Baltimore,
which city she says has been called, by a witty
Bostonian, the Gastronomic Centre of the Uni-
verse. Whether it holds that distinguished
position or not, the excellent receipts in Miss
Tyson’s book show that with its citizens cook-
ing is not among the neglected arts.
Porter & Coates have issued the long an-
nounced book by Professor William Blasius,
on Storms. It is impossible to do justice to
the merits of the work within the limits of
my letter. The author has made a study of
the subject for many years, and has arrived at
important results, which, though at variance
with generally accepted theories, have re-
ceived the approval of many enuinent meteor-
ologists. The volume is. well illustrated by
maps, plans, woodcuts, and colored lithograph
plates. It opens with an elaborate descrip-
tion of the West Cambridge Tornado of the
summer of 1850, which the author investigated
while staying with Professor Agassiz. An in-
teresting chapter is devoted to Weather Prog-
nostics from the Clouds, with special hints for
navigators. Professor Blasius writes with all
the confidence of conviction, and while it will
command the attention of scientific men, his
book is perfectly intelligible to the ordinary
reader. -
Two new novels have been added to the In-
ternational Series: Oldbury, by Annie Jºy;
and At Capri, by Clara Bauer (Carl Detlef). "The
fornier is a pleasing novel of English village
life, with a diverting old maid and a lovable
heroine. At Capri is a charming story of the
life of artists and summer tourists on the
beautiful Italian island, Capri. The heroine is
as vivacious and as pretty as a humming-bird,
and about as useless, though she has some
noble qualities, and we cannot help admiring
her as did the staid German professor whom
she loved but would not marry. There are
delightful contrasts of character, and artistic
glimpses, rather than pictures, of a picturesque
life and scenery, and the book has the same
enjoyable qualities as a dreamy waltz from
Strauss or a painting from one of the old mas-
ters. At an early date Porter & Coates will re-
print Afraja; or, Life and Love in Norway, a
translation from the German of a unique story
containing graphic descriptions of a little-
known country. Bayard Taylor says, “it is
one of the most remarkable romances of this
generation.” Castle Daly, a novel by Annie
Keary, will be issued in a few weeks. Count
de Paris’ work on our civil war is to comprise
eight volumes as brought out in France, two
only of which have been issued. Porter &
Coãtes will publish it here by arrangement
with the author and the Paris publisher, M.
Levy. The American edition will be in four
volumes, the first of which will probably be
ready in August. It is translated by L. F.
Tasistro, formerly translator for the State De-
partment at Washington.
Our school-book publishers are very busy
making their supplies for the fall trade, which
begins with our largest houses in July, and is
really a summer trade in fall supplics. They
anticipate a fair demand for school-books.
Mention of the newest issues, and changes in
dol books, I will defer till my next letter.

SAMUEL G. DRAKE.
Mr. Samuel G. Drake, the well-known writer
on early American History, died in Boston,
June 14th, in his 77th year. He was born and
received his early education at Pittsfield,
N. H., became a school-teacher for a number of
years, and in 1828 established the first anti-
quarian bookstore in the United States, in
Boston. As early as 1824 he edited a reprint
of Church’s History of King Philip's War. In
1825 he published a History of Indian Wars ;
in 1832 an Indian Biography, and in 1833,
The Book of the Indians, a work which is the
best authority on the Indians of North Amer-
ica ever printed, and which has passed through
many editions. In 1836, a collection of nar-
ratives of the early colonial wars, under the
title of The Old Indian Chronicle, appeared,
followed in 1839 by a collection of narratives
of Indian Captivities. In 1847 he started the
New England Historical and Genealogical Reg-
ºster, and in 1855 published his IIistory and
Antiquities of Boston ; Mr. Drake was also a
frequent contributor to the magazines, where
his papers always attracted much attention.
He was the founder of the New England
Historical and Genealogical Society, and at
one time its president.
MoRTIMER THOMSON (DOESTICKs).
The widely known humorous writer, Morti-
mer Thomson, better known by his nom de
plume, Q. K. Philander Doesticks, P.B., died
in this city June 26th, at the age of forty-four
years. He was born in Rochester, N. Y., was
educated at the University of Michigan, and
at the age of twenty-four came to this city

and engaged as a clerk in a jewelry house.
During a vacation he wrote some letters to
the Detroit Advertiser, which attracted the at.
tention of Mr. Charles A. Dana, then manag-
ing editor of the New York Tribune, and he
was offered and accepted a place on that jour-
nal. His amusing sketches in the Tribune
are well remembered, but he also did work
of a more serious character, at one time hold-
ing the position of dramatic editor, at an-
other time visiting the South in disguise as a
correspondent. His best known books are
The Witches of Wew York ; What IIe Says ;
Mothing to Say, a burlesque on Nothing to
Wear ; Pluribustah, containing a burlesque
on “Hiawatha ; ” and the History and Records
of the Elephant Club. Personally, Mr. Thom-
son was genial and generous almost to a fault.
He was twice married, his first wife being the
daughter of General Clive, of Minnesota, his
second the daughter of “Fanny Fern.”

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
THE £HEAP FUBLICATIONS OF PARIs.
There are certain coins in all countries which
are popular, and it is almost impossible to
conquer the prejudices against prices which
do not accord with them. They are in Paris
and London, for the lowest sums, the penny
(ten centimes) and the half-penny,(sou, or five
centimes); and in America, the ‘‘ penny ”
(misnomer, being the cent, or equivalent of a
half-penny British), the three-cent piece, ante-
bellum half-dime, and so on.
The removal of the stamp duty on publica-
tions in Europe permitted the residuum being
appealed to, and all that the Penny Magazine
did for Great Britain, the Magasin Pittores.
que accomplished for France. Since then,
however, the latter country has had its pub-
lishers far wiser, we think, than their Eng-
lish compeers. Instructors inveigh fiercely
against the abominable and hurtful trash
which holds its own against Good Things, Cas-
sell’s publications, the British Workman, and
their like ; but depend upon it, some of the
volumes so costly that the circulating libra.
ries order but sparingly of them would be
widely disseminated if printed in cheap de-
tachments for popular sale. The success of
Dickens in this form ought to have opened
eyes, but they remain sealed—authors’ as well
publishers'—from ignorance, timidity, or pride.
But the houses in Paris, which for wealth
and position are its Murrays and Longmans,
and Chapmans and Halls, have no such
pride or fears, and publish Victor Hugo at a
penny a week, at the same time as an édition
de lua.e.
The leading illustrated weekly papers of
Paris are the Illustration, the Illustrated World,
and the Illustrated Universe, ranging in price
from five to ten cents. The penny illustrated
papers are the Illustrated Press and the Illus-
trated Journal. The former is a tender to the
Illustrated World, and uses old woodcuts ; but
the latter, an offshoot of the original half-
penny daily (prototype of the London Echo),
the Little Journal, is replete with original de-
signs—sensational, but goºd of their kind. It
gives also the illustrations of the story ap-
pearing en feuilleton in the daily mentioned,
thus linking the two ingeniously together.
There are several pictorial papers princi-
pally for the family, such as the Journal for
Youth, the Mosaic, the Universal Museum, and
a religious sheet or two---nice, well printed on
thin but fine-surfaced paper, and harmless.
The engravings are of a higher type in idea
than English ones for the masses, or those
with the same intention in Germany, or here.
Among the special organs are Sportive Life,
and the Jockey, and the Illustrated Audience,
their police gazette. gº
The next category comprises pseudo-histori-
cal works in penny weekly numbers, such as
encyclopedias, histories, memoirs of great
men, or records of wars, for the most part a
lodge-podge of old, if high-class engravings.
They fare pretty well with the public, and are
pushed in the provinces.
The comic papers are naturally more num-
erous among the classes frequenting cafés and
other public resorts. While the 7'intamaa’re,
Charīvarā, and Paris Life are too dear and are
seen by the populace only in the shop-win-
dows and in the newsdealers’ booths on the
boulevards, those at a lesser price, such as
the Eclipse (it was the Moon under the Empire,
when the censure darkened its beams), Aſmus-
Žng Journal (in which appear very happy
designs by eminent artists), the Grelot,
Sling, and others of smaller circulation, Comic
Finance (sold on 'change), and the Little Jour-
mal for Laughter, composed of old blocks sup-
porting one new picture, always by the
costume inventor, Grevin, are met with every-
where, and their aggregate sale is sometimes
immense, when a stirring event moves the
Ill a SSGS. * --
The issue of romances with illustrations,
new or old, occurs in a number of sheets,
known as Good Romances, Sunday Journal,
Weekly Journal, Thursday Journal, Everybody’s
Journal (dead during the siege, but now re-
suscitated), and Illustrated Romances, in which
the great house of the Brothers Michel-Levy
published Verne’s “Round the World,” and
propose works by Sandeary, Merimée, Dau-
det, Musset, Nodier Gauthier, and Hugo.
What singular names, a foreigner would
think, to conjure with among the rabble who
set the “finances aflame "—but these high-
class writers none the less contend success-
fully with the clap-trap scribblers. -
Victor Bunel publishes many salable sto
ries in weekly penny numbers, such as Mire-
court’s “Marion de l'Orme ’’ and “ Ninon
de l'Enclos;” and Roy, of the Beaumarchais
Boulevards, reprints Leval's “Duke's Motto,”
with those same cuts which failed to work
wonders in the English edition ; and the
novel most in vogue is also his—Montepin’s
“Dramas and Tragedies of Paris.” The art-
ist of this latter is Meyer, a roving man, while
Férat, who executed those weird and telling
engravings to Jules Verne’s “Wonderful
Voyages,” and who is to make the pictures, in
lieu of Vierge (strong as this latter was), to
Poe’s “Tales of Terror,” draws for Berthol’s
“Catacombs of Paris.”
The most popular weekly story paper is the
Pastime (with a satellite called the Sojy-Tellen)
of which the engravings are reproduced, by
arrangement, in London and New York, and
its principal writer is that curious jumble of
Captain Mayne Reid and “Ned Buntline,”
Louis Noir, brother of the Victor Noir who
was killed by Prince Bonaparte. This journal
sells five to any other's one.
The theatrical world is overrun by contest-
ants for the loaves and fishes. Besides the
official organs, the Entr'acte and Orchestre,
mere pages of flattering notices and bills of
the play, there are the Illustrated IRevue and
Theatrical Album, which portray the actors,
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’
G UIDE. 225
scenes, and characters more or less badly; the
Paris Theatre, that original employer of the
Woodbury type to present imitation photo-
graphs of performers, and its cheap copyist,
the Paris Programme. The success of “The
Daughter of Madame Angot” (being the words
and music, with colored sketches of the char-
acters in costume, and other illustrations),
has led to the similar publication of “La Vie
Parisienne,” the Offenbach opera.
The absurdly rough and cheap prints of
Epinal give scenes and songs from the popu-
lar opera-bouffes at a cent or two the sheet.
Cheap music, principally the songs of the
music hails, was for a long while five cents
the sheet, but the last series is the piece illus-
trated, words and music, in a wrapper, not
badly printed, for two cents. The cheapest
songs, gotten up after the primitive style of
cheap books, have a very good sale, though one
does not find so much vocalistic display in
street, coffee-houses and wine-shops, in town,
or up the river, as before the war.
To sum up, the writers for the Paris cheap
press are considerably above the rank of their
rivals in London or New York, and the works
of Louis Noir, Henry de Kock, Bouvier, Ro-
quette, Montegrin, Boulabert, Borys (who prom-
ised to be a second Sue), Beauvallet, etc.,
spite of a pandering to the horribly strong,
are artistic when set against the vapid, in-
sufferably stupid and ignoble things which
ornament the news venders’ windows in Lon-
don and transatlantic towns. Here and there
in the former may be met, not unseldom, a
piece of true pathos—a poetical thought, a
natural description, a novel incident or situa-
tion, which accounts for these new works
pleasing, even against the reprints of Hugo
and Dumas, Sand and Soulie, and Collins.
FUBLISHERS RoARD OF TRADE.

In the current number of The International:
Review, President Porter, of Yale, has a very
interesting paper on “John Stuart Mill as at
Religious Philosopher”—a review of his Three
Essays on Religion.
Mr. Francis Gerry Fairfield has revised his
work on the Clubs of New York, and a new”
edition will soon be issued under the title of
Club Life in New York. Some corrections and:
many additions have been made.
Wilson, Hinkle & Co publish a Manual of

son College, N. C. It presents the subject very
concisely, but thoroughly and plainly, and is
excellently adapted for a text-book.
Mr. Charles F. Wingate's book, Views and

much gossip about editors and newspapers,
and promises to be very entertaining.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
A student stepped into the bookstore of a
well-known firm in Richmond, the other day,
and inquired of Mr. West whether he could
find anywhere a biography of Pollock. “Yes,
I dare say you will find it in the Course of
Tºme,” was the reply. -
Dr. Jeremiah Chaplin, has for some years
been at work upon a Life of Benjamin Frank-
lin, and it will soon be published in one vol-
Rume by D. Lothrop & Co., Boston. It is said,
by those who have seen the MSS. to be well
written and very complete.
The Temperance Reformation and its Claims
*Upon the Christian Church, by Rev. James
Smith, of Scotland, is to be issued here by
arrangement with the English publishers, by
D. Lothrop & Co. It is a prize essay, for
which 250 guineas were awarded.
Professor Thompson's work on Social Science
and National Economy, lately issued by Porter
& Coates, has received the indorsement of Gov-
ernor Hartranft, Senator Dawes, and many
other prominent men, and has already been
adopted as a text-book by a number of colleges.
The National Temperance Society have pub-
lished in a little pamphlet, Hints and Helps,
by Frances E. Willard, Corresponding Secre-
tury of the Woman's National Temperance
Union. It is a convenient handbook, giving
plans in detail for the organization of local
and state unions, and many useful directions
and suggestions.
A. S. Barnes & Co. have lately published
Reasonable Elocution, by F. Taverner Graham.
The author holds that the art of reading
will not come naturally, that elocution is a
science as well as an art, and rests upon posi-
tive laws which must be mastered by study.
These laws he sets forth, and illustrates by
abundant exercises.
The National Temperance Society have pub-
lished the Proceedings of the Eighth National
Temperance Convention, held in Chicago early
in June. It is a pamphlet of about 200 pages,
Côntaining, besides the reports and resolutions,
the essays prepared for the occasion and the
addresses delivered by Dr. Cuyler, Vice-Pres-
ident Wilson, Wm. E Dodge, and others.
... Mr. Lºypoldt's Finding List, or Complete
Catalogue, is being rapidly pushed, but the
first volume will not be ready before next
spring. This volume will contain all the
titles arranged by titles and also by author. A
second volume will contain the classified lists,
and the government or state publications.
We learn that another Complete Catalogue is
in contemplation by another party.
- The April mumber of the Westminster Re-
view says of Professor Wilkinson's A Free
Lºunce in the Field of Letters: “It is not a fre-
quent pleasure to meet with English essay-
writing so fresh, forceful and terse as Mr.
Wilkinson’s ; and especially rare is it to re-
ceive from the other side of the Atlantic,
writing so good, and a valuation of English
authors so sympathetic and appreciative as
George Eliot finds in this volume.
Johnson, Wilson & Co., New York, have
published a second edition, much enlarged, of
the Rev. S. Pollock Linn's Living Thoughts, a
collection of extracts from prominent writers.
There is a full index of subjects, and the vol-
ume is useful for quotations, as well as very
entertaining. -
A complete manual on Butter-making, the
Practical Butter-Book, by X. A. Willard, has
just been issued by the Rural Publishing
Company, New York. The subject is most
thoroughly treated in all its details, from
the selection and treatment of the cows to
the packing of the butter for the market.
It has soune fifty illustrations, and is the most
complete and reliable book on the subject ever
written. -
From the Fifty-Fourth Annual Report of the
Mercantile Library in this city, it appears that
it numbers 155,120 volumes—9,062 having been
added during the year. The new volumes in-
clude 4,568 novels, 496 books of biography,
and 456 theological works. The membership
has decreased by 533 names, most of whom
are mercantile clerks, who the directors assume
have been compelled to withdraw by the stag-
nation in business and loss of position. -
Mr. & Mrs. Faulconbridge, by Hamilton
Aidé, published by Loring, is one of the most
satisfactory novels we have read for a long
time. It is conversational and quiet in tone,
and the characters are so natural that after
the first introduction the reader cannot fail to
recognize them as soon as they speak. There
is enough in the elegant and witty conversa-
tions alone to repay the reader, while the un-
folding of the plot will not allow his interest
to flag.
Johnson, Wilson & Co. are publishing in
parts a Ballad History of the Revolution, con-
taining the songs and newspaper poetry of
the “times that tried men’s souls,” with por-
traits, maps and plans, and explanatory text.
The work is splendidly printed, and promises
to be the most unique as well as the most in-
teresting of our centennial publications. The
Bunker Hill number, just issued, contains a
full-length steel portrait of Warren, fac-similes
of the old maps and plans of Charlestown and
the battle, and the old ballads throw much
light on the spirit which animated the people
a hundred years ago.
The late Chief Justice of Illinois, Hon. J. D.
Caton, has written, under the title of A Sum-
ne, in Norway, a volume which is to be issued
early this month by Jansen, McClurg & Co., of
Chicago, and is likely to add much to our
meagre knowledge of that country. The Chi-
cago Evening Post says: “It describes with
the accuracy of a practical observer the in-
teresting features of this high northern coun-
try, interspersed with sketches of the people
and their romantic bistory ; tells of their sim-
plicity of life, their integrity of character, the
unending summer sunshine, and of their
faithful domestic the reindeer, and the eider
duck.”

nor Tilden. The College will be opened next
fall, in a temporary building.
R. Kohaus, Dubuque, Iowa, has composed
and published a song and chorus entitled Lit-
tle Eyelids Wet with Weeping, in which he has
very appropriately and with excellent taste
set to music a little poem by O. R. Beers,
which appeared in the Waverly, Magazine.
Bipples of Song is a collection of ninety pop-
ular temperance songs, words and music,
designed for Sunday-schools and juvenile
societies. The music is spirited, and well
adapted to children's voices and tastes. Pub-
lished by the National Temperance Society.
Geo. Willig & Co., Baltimore, have issued a
new improved edition of Peters’s celebrated
Mass in D, written many years ago by W. C.
Peters. As originally written, it was for three
voices. A fourth voice has been added in this
edition, and the price is reduced from $2.00 to
$1.25.
G. D. Russell & Co will soon publish a col-

The-Managers of the American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our-customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
Jisappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer- .
ence; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 24.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d.—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly fºrwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order w8 mot to do so, but do send all new publications to our dealers, unless
they order ws not to do so. . We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Envelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.-We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express ; to others we mail bills once a week.

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publicatious are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had pºlid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you m ike out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover oue week's papers) similar to this form

THE Book MARKET
NEw York, August 1, 1875.
This has been a very busy month for the
book trade and one of important events. The
Convention interested everybody, and nearly
every publisher and jobber of books sent a
representative. Then came the Book Fair,
which called to this city more booksellers
probably than were ever here before at the
same time. Of the workings and results of
the Fair we speak elsewhere, but the presence
of the booksellers from all sections of the
country, many of whom but seldom visit the
city, gave a lively appearance to the stores,
and an outsider, looking on, might have sup-
posed that the millennium promised by the
president of the Book Trade Association had
indeed arrived. Although many books were
sold outside the rooms of the Fair, the amount
of business done was not large. Large bills
of school books were sold, but not at the
stores, and it is too early to buy for the fall.
Indeed, if buyers were ready, the books are
not. The booksellers improved their oppor-
tunity to acquaint themselves with the com-
ing fall publications, and they will be able in
a few weeks to place their orders intelli-
gently.
In the condition of the trade throughout
the country there is no change to be noted.
A few new books that are pushed, have large
sales, but the old standard books on which
the trade used to depend, sell slowly. The
trade is still hoping for better times, and
there is a fair prospect that the hopes may be
realized this fall. It is argued that the good
crops and the good prices they are likely to
command, will bring us a season of general
prosperity, and that alone can make the book
trade profitable. In attempting to forecast
the future we can not do better than quote
from Dun, Barlow & Co.'s latest circular, in
which they say, “Compared with this time
twelve months ago there is but little if any
improvement perceptible either in the volume
or profitableness of trade. The effect of the
panic, or rather of the excesses in business
which caused it, have lasted longer than was
anticipated immediately after the climax had
been reached, and the enduring evil results
are becoming more and more apparent. These
results, however, assume the character more
of depression than of disaster, and though,
in the end, the evil may be as fatal in the
one case as in the other, the process is slow
enough to allow constant hopes of recovery,
and to permit the operation of all circum-
stances that favor it. We have marketed
two good crops of agricultural products since
the panic, and the promise is now so certain
of, another abundant yield, that, in ordinary
times, it would largely stimulate the purchase
of goods in anticipation of the trade sure to
follow its realization. Again, we have had
nearly two years of efforts in the direction of
economy, and how far this has been practiced
is best indicated by the restricted sales of
merchandise in all quarters. Of course, this
reduced business in merchandise is to be
largely attributed to the limited purchasing
power of operatives and others dependent
upon interests that have languished during
these hard times; but aside from these, and
in sections of country where these specific
influences have not prevailed, a similar reduc-
tion in business indicates less expenditure for
the luxuries of life.” And among those lux-
uries, we have learned by the experience of
the past two years, if never before, to class
books. What effect the late failures will
have on business in general we have yet to
See.
Of new books there is little to be said.
Harper & Brothers published Drake's Nooks
and Corners of the New England Coast, early
in the month, and it has been extensively
and favorably noticed. It is finely illustrated
and enlivened with many odd bits of history
and romantic incident. Of novels, we have
had from the Harpers a goodly number; An-
thony Trollope's The Way we I've Now; Egl
lantine, by Eliza Tabor; Miss Thackeray's
Miss Angel, an anonymous story, Ward or
254.
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
Wife, and Playing the Mischief, by J. W. de
Forest. It is very seldom that we meet in a
novel so many lovable characters as Miss
Thackeray has introduced into hers.
the bad people have their attractive sides,
and the book is altogether bright and enjoy-
able. On the other hand it is quite as seldom
that we find so many repulsive characters
and disagreeable. incidents in a novel as are
in Playing the Mischief. It is a story of a
pretty widow lobbyist at Washington, and
although without doubt “founded on facts,”
those facts must be greatly exaggerated, or
we have much more of evil than good at our
capital. The mission of the book is evidently
one of reform, and the terrible consequences
of misdoing are vividly portrayed. Like bad
medicine it may benefit, but it is not pleasant
to swallow. Ward or Wife is a bright little
love story, told with a delightful dash and
vigor. The novels in press at the Harpers,
are Jean, by Mrs. Newman ; The Calverwood
Secret, by Virginia W. Johnson, the pleasing
author of Joseph the Jett and a new novel
by Frank Lee Benedict, entitled St. Simon’s
JNiece.
D. Appleton & Co., have published The
Childhood of Religions, by Edward Clodd ; The
Italians, a novel by Frances Elliott; and have
nearly ready Christian Reid’s A Question of
Honor. In no department of research has
there been greater activity during the past
decade than in that of religious history. The
results of study and investigation in that di-
rection is of great interest to all Scholars and
to two classes of general readers—those who
are speculative in religious questions, and
those who find pleasure in investigating the
condition of mankind in prehistoric times, for
the earliest written history is religious, and
when that is exhausted, we are guided still
further back by the symbols and emblems of
religious worship. Hence Mr. Clodd's book
will find a large circle of appreciative read-
ers. There is much in it that is merely specu-
lative, but the author has availed himself of
the researches of our best scholars, and his
book is an epitome of results in fact and
opinion.
The Italians is by the clever author of Old
Court Life in France. In it she has succeeded
admirably in making a good novel, and in
picturing the social life of Italy at the pres:
ent time. The characters, good, bad, and
indifferent are boldly drawn; the impover-
ished Marchesa, the pretty niece, the wealthy
Count, and the dissolute young nobles, all
claiming a share of the reader's interest.
Scribner Armstrong, & Co. have published
a most entertaining volume in the Bric-a-
Brac series, made up of the autobiographies
of O'Keefe, the dramatist, Michael Kelly, the
musical composer, and John Taylor, the jour-
malist, who were well acquainted with the
notables of their time during the latter part
of the last century and the beginning of the
present. We have also from this house two
Even .
little cheap unassuming volumes, but which
the London Graphic says, “ contain more
solid information than half-a-dozen ordinary
histories.” They belong to a series termed
“Ancient History from the Monuments.” The
first volume treats of Egypt, from the Earliest
Times to B. C. 300, by Dr. S. Birch; the second,
of Assyria, from the Earliest Times to the Fall
of Nineveh, by George Smith. They are both
fully illustrated, and present in a concise,
handy form the all important, but only re-
cently interpreted stories of the monuments
and their inscriptions. The third volume of
the series will be Persia, from the Earliest
Period to the Arab Conquest, by W. S. W. Vaux.
Hurd & Houghton have published, How to
Live Long, by Dr. W. W. Hall, in which the
author gives his opinion on the conditions of
health and disease. Sleep, diet, bathing, and
the various customs of life are treated in a
straightforward, sensible manner, and al-
though there are many who will dissent from
the doctor's opinions the book contains much
good advice and should be widely read.
E. J. Hale & Son have published another
novel, entitled Harwood, by the author of The
Odd Thump. Although these are the author's
first books, he is not unknown to readers of
the magazines and literary journals, although
he never permits his name to appear. His
last novel is even better than the first ; sen-
sational but wholesome, and pervaded by a
vein of genuine humor. It must not be sup-
posed that the author can write a novel as
good as Harwood in a fortnight, for although
it followed so closely upon the other, they
have both been in the hands of the publishers
for a long time. They have still another
from the same pen, entitled The Lacy Dia-
monds, which will be issued early in the fall.
Hale & Son have in press a collection of sto-
ries of life among the Hoosiers, by the well-
known litterateur, Maurice Thompson, who
has a volume of poems in press at Osgoods.
The Hoosier stories are full of fun and sen-
timent and sense. The first in the collection,
Was She a Boy, will give the book its title.
BosTON, August 1, 1875.
With the exception of the few houses who
handle school books, the trade here has been
very inactive. Preparations for the fall have
hardly commenced, and the announcements of
new books are very few.
Roberts Brothers published Jean Ingelow's
second novel, Fated to be Free, early in the
month, and it is having, for the times, an im-
mense sale. There are undoubtedly many
admirers of the author's poetry who are
greatly disappointed in her prose, but we ven-
ture to say that there are not a few, those who
enjoy plain matter of fact studies of human
nature, who like her novels quite as well as
her poems. Her characters may not be artistic
in the common meaning of the word, but they
are natural, and are drawn with charming
THE AMERICAN BOOKSE L LERS’
GUIDE. 255
simplicity. The book possesses little interest
as a story, but as a study of character it is
enjoyable. -
Roberts Brothers will publish in a few
weeks Joaquin Miller's poem, The Ship in the
Desert, and a new book by Miss Louise M. Al-
cott, giving the experiences of a little girl
among her relatives. It will be entitled Eight
Cousins ; or, the Awnthill, and is to be illustra-
ted by Sol Eytinge and Addie Ledyard. A
little later will be published Nine Little Gos-
lings, a volume of Mother Goose stories in
prose, by Susan Coolidge, to be profusely il-
lustrated by J. A. Mitchell; a new book by
Philip Gilbert Hamerton, entitled 'Round My
IIouse, being sketches of the author's neigh-
borhood; Mice at Play, by Neil Forrest, illus-
trated by Sol Eytinge; and Jolly Good Times, a
story of child life on a farm, by P. Thorne.
A book for girls is in preparation by Juliana
Horatio Ewing, author of The Browises. The
new volume will have for its title Sæ to Sia:-
teen. Sometime during the autumn we shall
have from Roberts Brothers Madame Récamier
and Eſer Friends, translated from the French
of Madame Lenormant, by the translator of
the Memoirs and Correspondence. The new
volume gives much more of her private cor-
respondence than the previous one.
James R. Osgood & Co. have given us some
of the best books of the month. The anony-
mous story of Ome Summer has already reached
the third edition, and of Tennyson’s drama,
Queen Mary, nearly 10,000 have been sold. Mrs.
Diaz' book, A Domestic Problem, issued early in
the month, is a very sensible one. The author’s
theme is “Work and Culture in the House-
hold.” Every woman who has to submit to
the former, and craves the delights of the
latter, should read this little book. It is full
of shrewd and wise suggestions, and the
tired housewife will receive not a little sup-
port and encouragement from its pages. A
Mine Days' Wonder, by Hamilton Aidé, is a
novel of exceptional merit. The author ex-
cels in characterization, in conversation, and
the work of portraying the various charac-
ters of a circle of village gossips, after giv-
ing them something to talk about, is one just
suited to his pen. There are other interest-
ing characters that are vividly portrayed, and
other good points about the book; but the
gossips are noteworthy specimens. The story
in its dramatized form has met with marked
success on the London stage.
The fourteenth volume of “Little Classics”
is devoted to Dyl ical Poems, and the editor has
again shown a most excellent taste in his se-
lections. Among them are Tennyson’s “Locks-
ley Hall,” Hood's “Bridge of Sighs,” Owen
Meredith’s “Good Night in the Porch,” Jean
Ingelow’s “ Divided,” Wordsworth’s “Imita-
tions of Immortality,” Emerson’s “Problem,”
and many others equally as notable. The
next volume which is nearly ready will have
for its title Minor Poems, and will include a
large number of short poems by celebrated
authors, and not a few of genuine merit from
writers but little known. File No. 113, a novel
by Emile Gaboriau, is also nearly leady.
Lee & Shepard have a large number of
books in different stages of preparation for
the fall, but a notice of the later ones must
be reserved for future letters. Of those to be
issued this month are A Quaker Among the
Indians, by Thomas Battey ; The Great Bo-
namza, and The Winged Lion, stories of Ve-
nice, by James De Mille. Mr. Battey, the
author of the first mentioned book, was en-
gaged by an Indian agent to teach among the
Caddoes and Kiowas, and he remained among
them three years. His book gives the results
of his observation and experience, and pro-
mises to be interesting. It will be illustrated
by portraits of famous Indians. The Great
Bonanza will be a collection of narratives of
adventure on land and Sea, among hunters,
raftsmen, miners, whalemen, and other ad-
venturers. Among the writers are Oliver
Optic, R. M. Ballantyne, T. W. Higginson,
C. E. Bishop, and Captain Charles W. Hall,
and it is to be embellished with two hundred
illustrations. De Mille's book will be put in
the Young Dodge Club series, which now
numbers three volumes. The Blue Jacket
series comprises new editious of six standard
books of adventure for children : Swiss Family
Robinson, Gullicer’s Travels, Willis the Pilot,
The Prairie Crusoe, The Arctic Crusoe, and The
Young Crusoe, put up in new bindings.
William F. Gill & Co. have published the
initial volumes of their two new series, that
in the Treasure Trove series being entitled
J310'lesque, and containing some of the bright-
est things in the English language. The
series is edited by Mr. R. H. Stoddard, and
judging by the reception which the public
has given to the first volume, is likely to.
prove even more successful than the several
series of the kind which have preceded it,
The second volume to be issued shortly will
have for its title Travesty, and will contain
selections from Hawthorne, Thackeray, Bur-
mand, Hood, Beresford, Carlyle, Addison, Ma-
caulay, Holmes, and Mark Twain. The first
volume of the Satchel series contains a new
story by Miss M. E. Braddon, and other stories,
sketches, and poems. It is very neatly printed
and is very appropriately named, as it is just
the thing for the traveler. Gill & Co. have
also issued Arsene Houssaye's graphic letters
on Life in Paris, which give us charming
pictures of French society, and Edmund
* Yates' new novel The Silent Witness, a thril-
ling, sensational story, containing plot enough
for a dozen novels. It is never tiresome in
its development, however, as many plotty
novels are, and is stronger in characterization
than the author's other recent works. Caring
for No Man, by Linn B. Porter, just issued, is
a novel of American life among people of ad-
Vanced opinions, which are freely expressed.
The author is evidently somewhat liberal in
his views on Social matters, but he avoids

extremes, and his book may be read with
interest, -
The new firm of Lockwood, Brooks & Co.
have been issuing a series of fifty cent paper-
cover books under the very appropriate title
of Tales for Travelers. They include the old
and new stories by E. E. Hale and other
writers, including In His Name, The JLost
Palace, A Tale of the Simplon, Stand and Wait,
and others. In a few weeks they will issue
Town ºrd the Strait Gate, or Parish Christianity,
by the Rev. Dr. E. F. Burr, author of the well-
known books Ecce Caylum and Pater Mundº.
They have also in press new editions of Every
JDay; Dr. John Lord’s Ancient History; and
The Knightly Soldier, a biography of Major
Henry W. Camp, of the Tenth Connecticut
Volunteers, the price of which is to be re-
‘duced.
Our juvenile-book publishers of Cornhill
are quite busy with new books and new edi-
tions for new sets. D. Lothrop & Co. have in
preparation a sumptuous little volume of
nearly four hundred pages of prose and
poetry for the little folks, with over a hun-
dred full-page illustrations and many smaller
On 62.S. .
New editions of the IIoliday Album for
Girls, and the IIoliday Album for Boys are be-
ing printed. Only one edition of each was
printed last year, and the copies were all sold
within three weeks. Additions are being
made to many of the series of books in boxes
offered last year, and several entirely new
series are nearly ready. W. R. Lawrence's
J.ife of Amos Lawrence and Banvard's Life of
JDaniel Webster, are added to Chaplin's two
books—the Lives of Franklin and Sumner,
making a series of “Famous Americans; ”
Grandpa's Darling, a true story by Pansy, and
a number of other new books will be put up
in a “Cunning Workman Series: ” and a
“Golden Hour Series” of elegant little books,
by Laurie Loring, will be ready this month.
Among the large books announced by D.
Lothrop & Co., is a new edition of the JItstory
of the Jewish Nation, by F. H. Palmer, revised,
with a preface by Rev. S. F. Smith. The
work is well known in England but has
never before been printed here. This edition
is somewhat condensed from the original, but
all the illustrations are preserved, and a steel
plate and three maps are added.
Henry Hoyt is adding to his long list of
books for children of all ages. For little
boys he has just printed Froggy's ſittle Bro-
ther; or, the Homest Street Sweeper; and fore
older boys, a story of temptation and victory
over it, by S. F. Keene, entitled The Viking
JHeir. The girls are not forgotten, and among
the new books provided for them we may
notice the pretty little story of Margery's
Christmas Boſc, and the more ambitious one of
Jittle Christie and Her Friends. Mr. Hoyt has
in press a volume on the Evangelists in the
Churches, containing biographical sketches by
P. C. Headley of leading evangelists, from
Mattie's Library '' and other sets.
Philip of Samaria, to Moody and Sankey,
with the results of their labors. The volume
will be illustrated by portraits. Other books
to be issued by this house, are Select Notes on
the International Topics for 1876; and the
International Question Book for 1876. The
former is prepared by the Rev. F. N. Peloubet.
It will contain quotations from nearly two
hundred writers, besides the editor’s notes,
also references from Bagster's bible, maps,
pronunciation of proper names and other
matter. The question book will be in three
grades, that for the youngest pupils illus-
trated. The question book for 1875 has sold
to the extent of 25,000 copies.
Andrew F. Graves is putting some of his
favorite juveniles into pretty new covers, and
making up new sets. The “Choice Library *
of one dollar volumes is increased by the ad-
dition of How to Be a Dady and How to Be a
Mam, and new volumes are added to “Aunt
These
books do not make much noise in the literary
world, and their coming is seldom heralded
in the newspapers, but somehow they find
their way to the children, who would sadly
miss the pretty publications of Cornhill.

PHILADELPHIA, August 1, 1875.
But little has been done here in books
during the month. The Niagara Convention
and the Book Fair in New York have received
a proper share of attention, and those who
have not attended one or both of those meet-
ings of the trade have taken advantage of
the quiet condition of things to visit the sea-
side or country. Toward the close of the
month business was, perhaps, a little brisker,
but it has been generally limited to school-
books and a few of the newest novels.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have been
Quite busy in their jobbing department, but
the issue of the new books announced in my
last has been postponed. They have lately
issued a handsome Centennial Railroad Guide
Map to Philadelphia, containing the city rail-
road routes, and much also that will be very
useful to the thousands who will visit the
city next year. Mr. Stuart Mitchell’s Exposi-
tion on the Book of Jonah, under the title of
Jonah the Self-willed Prophet, which contains a
new translation from the Hebrew, and differs
in many respects from other works of this
kind, is nearly ready ; also a new edition,
beautifully illustrated, of Webber's Wild
Scenes and Wild Hunters; and The Golden
Tress, from the French of Fortuné Du Bois-
gotey. The last is a very sensational novel,
from a writer not known here, but who has
had wonderful success in pleasing the people
of Paris. Readers of The Golden Thre3s in the
original French say that it is crowded with
exciting incidentsingeniously woven together,
and that the work displays much artistic
skill. Two Thousand Year's After, by the ex-
centric but shrewd writer who signs himself
THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS GUIDE.
257
John Darby, is also in press. The character
of the work may be inferred from the au-
thor's previous book, Odd Howl's of a Physician.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger also announce
new cditions of a number of books formerly
on the list of Alfred Martien, among them,
two of Harriet B. McKeever's novels, Edith’s
Ministry and Woodcliff; and The Young
Marooners on the Florida Coast.
Two novels lately published by J. B. Lip-
pincott & Co. have had marked success for a
dull summer, both having reached the fifth
thousand, although they have been out but a.
few weeks. They are The Green, Gate, from
the German of Ernst Wichert, and Sigma, by
“Ouida.” They are very dissimilar, yet
each suits the tastes of a large circle of read-
ers. Ouida’s novel is incisive and keen,
laying bare motives and exhibiting without
mercy the hidden springs of human actions,
not roughly, but no less thoroughly. Wich-
ert is thoughtful and refined and elegant.
The pictures of life in The Green Gate are
quiet but natural and always pleasing to the
cultivated reader. The latest new books
from the Lippincotts are a memorial volume
on the Virginia Military Institute, containing
biographical sketches of the graduates who
fell during the late war, by Charles D. Walker;
a new edition of Our Children in Heaven, by
Dr. William H. Holcombe, the author of In
Both Worlds, The Other Life, and other books
of like character; Wotes on Building Construc-
tion, treating of masonry, carpentry, arches,
roofing, and other branches of the builder's
art, and fully illustrated by woodcuts; and
have imported an entertaining volume of:
papers on animals, by Frank Buckland, en-
titled the Dog-Book of a Fisherman and Zoolo-
gist. The author is an Inspector of Salmon
Fisheries for England and Wales, an evident
lover of the brute creation, and a close as
well as an intelligent observer of the habits
of animals. Some of the papers have ap-
peared in Land and Water, and one is reprinted
from Temple Ban', but they are all new here,
and the book is not only entertaining but in-
structive
Announced for early publication by the
Lippincotts are a book on Chinamania, under
the title of The Bric-a-Brac IIunter, by Major
H. Byng Hall; a History of Co-operation in
England, giving sketches of its leaders and
promoters, by George Jacob Holyoake; an
elaborately illustrated hand-book for tourists,
entitled Pennsylvania Scenery, a volume of
lectures on The Nervous System, by Jerome K.
Bauduy, M. D.; Allibone's Prose Quotations ;
Inder the Stork's Nest, a novel from the Ger-
man of A. E. Katsch, translated by Emily R.
Steinestel; and a new edition of The Amazon
and Madeira Rivers, by Franz Keller. The
last is a large octavo volume of sketches and
descriptions of the great South American
rivers, illustrated by sixty-eight wood-cuts.
T. B. Peterson & Bros. have published one
of the best novels of the season in A Double
Wedding ; or, IIow, She was Won, by the pop-
ular Southern writer, Mrs. C. A. Warfield.
Like the author's former book, The Household
of Bouverie, it is a charming story from
beginning to end. The scenes are strongly
depicted, the incidents invested with an ap-
pearance of reality, and the curiosity of the
reader is kept on the alert without being over-
strained. The publishers have only yielded
to the popular demand in issuing a new
edition of the previous story The Household of
Bouverie. It created quite a sensation when
first issued, but there are many who have not
read it, and many more who will be glad to
read it a second time. We know of no books
more certain to please the average novel
reader than these two.
The Petersons have also issued in their
fine new edition of Mrs. Southworth’s novels,
The Discarded Daughter, to be followed in a
few days by The Two Sisters. Mrs. South-
worth’s books have become standards in fic-
tion, and new editions always find buyers.
This is also true of the works of Reynolds
and Dumas, which are on the Petersons' cata-
logue. Of the latter’s books, Isabel of Bavaria
has been reprinted, and also The Countess and
the Page, by Reynolds, and The Opera Dancer;
or, The Mysteries of London Life is announced
for this month. Among the other announce-
ments of this house are The Dife of Davy
Crockett, illustrated by Henry L. Stephens;
and The Woman of Honor ; or, False Friend
Ships in Society, a translation of a French
book. Peterson & Brothers have lately
printed new editions of two well-known books
on elocution, Comstock’s Elocution ſund Model
Speaker, and The Lawrence Speaker. The
former is a somewhat elaborate volume, con-
taining abundant exercises, very full instruc-
tions, and nearly three hundred illustrations
of postures, etc. The latter contains care-
fully selected exercises from best authors,
and much practical instruction.
Porter & Coates have issued Afraja, a story
of Norway, by the German author, Theodore
Mugge, a writer almost wholly unknown to
American readers, but who has been highly
appreciated in Germany, and is praised by
Bayard Taylor and others who have had an
Opportunity to become acquainted with his
works. It is a good story, and the fact that it
opens a new field in fiction adds much to its
interest. The description of the scenery and
the unique pictures of the life of the Norwe-
gians invest the book with a fascination it is
impossible to resist. The characters are not
so refined as those depicted by Boyesen’s pen,
but they are probably nearer to the truth as
regards, the lower classes of the people.
Porter & Coates have in preparation a 32mo,
series of “Handy Volume Poets,” to comprise,
as far as projected, ten volumes. They are
also bringing out fine new editions of Shake-
Speare and Josephus.

Theological and Religious Books, arranged
alphabetically by subject and author. It is
very full, including both American and foreign
books.
D. M. Dewey, Rochester, N. Y., has printed
a new edition of the pretty and useful little
Hand-book of Church'Terms, containing, besides
the definitions, much matter in relation to
church symbolism and art, and illustrated with
woodcuts.
Bachelor Ben, the novel by Ella A. Giles,
published by Jansen, McClurg & Co., is receiv-
ing much praise, and it deserves it. It is not
only good as a story, but it is full of philos-
ophy and sage thought, and has more of origin-
ality than most of the novels of the day.
Benson J. Lossing’s Centennial work, “The
American Centenary,” is to be published next
year. It will contain a review of the civil
and military events of the past century, and
a history of the several states. It will also
illustrate the progress, social and commercial,
made by the Great Republic during this
period.
The July number of Hurd & Houghton’s
United States Official Postal Guide closes its
first year. The publication has come to be
indispensable to all wilo use the mails exten-
sively. Being published quarterly, it gives
the latest information and rulings of the De-
partment, and the list of offices is revised
down to date. -
We clip the following from the Daily
Morning Democrat, Grand Rapids, Mich.: “The
renovation of Eaton & Lyon's addition to their
old store (formerly the boot and shoe store of
the Cole Bros.) is about completed, and the two
rooms have been thrown together, making one
of the finest double stores in the state. The
entire establishment has been repaired and
improved, and is filled with a large new stock
of goods in the book and stationery line. Its
young and enterprising proprietors are receiv-
ing great praise for their energy and go-ahead-
edness” .
Mr. Webster and Mr. S. N. Clark, of the
Bureau of Education, are editing a volume on
libraries, under the supervision of Commis-
sioner Eaton. It is intended to promote the
formation of public libraries as a part of the
educational system, and will combine a descrip-
tive and statistical account of existing libraries,
and a practical treatise on library economy. It
will be illustrated by interior and exterior views
of the best libraries, and plans for library
buildings. Many prominent librarians will
contribute the text, including A. R. Spofford,
Librarian of Congress, Justin Winsor, of the
Boston Public Library, and Wm. H. Pool, of
the Chicago Public Library. The work will
be published early next year.
Two notable books have recently been
printed by J.W. Bouton, New York: The Eleu-
sinian and Bacchic Mysteries, by Thomas
Taylor; and Ancient Symbol: Worship, which
includes a paper on the subject read before
the Anthropological Society of London in
1870, by Hodder M. Westropp, and one read
at the same time by C. Staniland Wake, on the
“Influence of the Phallic Idea in the Reli-
gions of Antiquity.” Both volumes are ably
edited, with Introductions, Notes, and Corro-
borative Appendices, by Dr. Alexander Wild-
er, and the latter volume is illustrated. In no
department of investigation has more sur-
prising results been obtained than in that
which has lately been directed towards the
religous rites and beliefs of the ancients,
and these results selve a far higher purpose
than merely to gratify idle curiosity. Much
of ancient history has been for centuries lock-
ed up in the symbols that are now being
brought to the light, and the Old Testament
of the Bible, if not the New, depends in a
great degree for its interpretation upon these
emblems of ancient religions. Not a little
documentary evidence has also lately reward-
ed the diligence of our scholars, and has
thrown much light on the obscurity of the
past. The authors and editor of the above
books possess undoubted acquirements for
scholarly investigation, and in presenting the
subjects treated of have availed themselves of
all the aids to be had. However much their
work and opinions may be ridiculed by the
unthinking, or deprecated by the zealous
churchman, the world can be no worse off for
their labors, which will be appreciated by
honest searchers for the truth.

An amusing instance of the practice of
reviewing books from their titles was lately
afforded by a Wisconsin newspaper which
shall be nameless. It gave a very flatter-
ing notice of The Odd Trump as a novel giving
graphic pictures of life among the gamblers

Mr. W. A. Bell, editor of the Indiana School
Journal, announces an “Official School Reg-
ister of Indiana,” to contain a complete and
accurate list of the names and P. O. address
of the County Superintendents, City Superin-

and Townships, and of prominent Teachers
of the state.
Mr. Leypoldt's forthcoming Stationers’
Hand-book will be worth much more than the
modest price asked for it, to anybody dealing
in stationery. It will contain, besides the
price lists, articles by our leading stationers
on the various specialties in the trade, con-
veying much practical information and useful
suggestions. Those who have not subscribed
should do so at once, as the price will be
raised after publication.
S. C. Griggs & Co. have nearly ready for
press The Select Orations of Lysias, with notes
by Prof. W. A. Stevens, of Denison Univer-
sity. The work has been a long time in prep-
aration by a most critical scholar thoroughly
in love with his subject, and the publishers
believe this edition will possess merits that
will add a new charm to the reading of the
famous old orator. It would have appeared
several months ago but for the loss by fire of
a portion of the work.

On the Education of Women the Church
and State has the following: We can excuse
absent-mindedness in Sir Isaac Newton ; but
let the reader picture to himself a class of
absent-minded, wrinkle-browed young ladies,
all thinking it to be the first duty of their lives
to calculate an eclipse, and all profoundly ab-
sorbed in the study of logarithms. Why
should they not come to go about the louse in
a state of vacancy, and to feel that the cry of
an infant is the most hideous of noises? And
then, as to grace and manners, what is that
compared to being skilled in Hesiod 2 Grant
that Jerusha Jane is more or less angular, and
careless of her personal appearance; yet if she
is able to take the salutatory or other high
honor, is not that ample compensation ? If it
be said this picture is imaginary, we grant it.
We are not reflecting for a moment on what
they are doing at Vassar, or what they pro-
pose to do at Northampton. Indeed, we are
glad to learn that at the latter institution an
accomplished lady will make it her special
work “to organize the social life of the institu-
tion, and to preserve and increase those graces
of manners and of social life which we esteem
so highly.” We are only saying that the
sweet, attractive grace of woman must not be
sacrificed to a knowledge of roots and trian-
gles. * * * Any kind of education fails in
the sex which fails to make it womanly and
sensible. There must be sweetness and refine-
ment, of course. And back of these there
must be simplicity, modesty, and good sense.
And back of these there ought to be an educa-
tion as thorough as woman is capable of re-
ceiving, and not be neglectful of the others.
But we submit again that the world needs true-
hearted women more than it needs female
philosophers or professors of ladies learned in
ten languages.

Clark & Maynard, New York, will soon
issue a History of France, by Professor J. J.
Anderson, on the plan of his histories of the
United States and England.
J. H. Butler & Co., Philadelphia, have
ready a new Pictorial History of the United
States, prepared by John A. Stewart, Princi-
pal of the Reading High School. It is very
meat and attractive in appearance, contains
about forty portraits and many other illustra-
tions, and eight full-page copperplate maps
and plans of battles. It is conveniently divid-
ed into chapters, with a series of questions
and a pronouncing vocabulary at the end of
each, a great improvement over the old plan
of running the questions into the body of the
text. e
Cowperthwaite & Co., Philadelphia, have
made some improvements in their Warren's
Geographies. For the primary they have
made new plates and new lithographic maps.
To the new Brief Course, brought out last
year, has been added complete reference maps,
besides the maps in the body of the work,
which are designed only for study in connec-
tion with the lessons. An edition of Monroe's
First Reader has been published in Leigh's
phonetic type, and two spellers have been
added to Monroe’s series.
Clark & Maynard have lately published an
Illustrated Child’s First Book in French, by
Professor Jean Gustave Keetels, the author of
a number of other French instruction books.
It is intended for children who can read, but
have not yet studied English grammar. The
lessons are progressive, beginning with simple
combinations, and preparing the pupil for the
study of grammar. In the first half of the
book the lessons relate to accompanying cuts,
which help to impress the subject on the mind
and make the exercises interesting. The
English words are printed under the French.
Clark & Maynard have become the publish-
ers of Keetels's Elementary French Grammar,
and also of the same author's Practical French
Grammar. These, with the Child’s First
Rook, recently issued, make a valuable series
of instruction books. -
SPECIAL Notices.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers announce in their
advertisement on another page, that during
their special fall sale, they will give to the
trade special rates of discount from their
Number One Wholesale Price List. On that
list discounts are as follows:—On cloth books,
40 per cent. ; sheep, 33% per cent. ; half calf,
30 per cent. ; Dickens's works in paper, and on
most other paper cover books, 50 per cent.
From these prices they make a further dis-
count on large bills. It is an excellent time
to lay in a stock of their popular books.
The Automatic Book Clamp, advertised on
another page, by A. J. Fisher, New York, is
well worth the attention of buyers of school
material. The handle is a metal tube securely
fastened to the wooden clamp, and inclosing
a steel spring, which winds up the cord, mak-
ing the clamp self-closing. An easily managed
slide-catch in the handle fastens the spring
and securely holds the books in the clamp,
and a handy case for pencils is cut into the
wooden plate without adding to size or weight.
The clamp is very meat in appearance, and
the most convenient article of the kind we
have seen.
Holden's Book Covers, manufactured by
Payne, Holden & Co., Dayton, Ohio, are de-
signed especially for school-books, and are
made to order in different sizes to fit any
standard school-book in the trade. The title
of the book is printed on the first page, and
the booksellers' card on the back. They are
made of strong paper, and admirably serve
the purposes for which they are intended.
Music NotEs.
Gounod’s “Faust” was recently sung in Salt
Lake City for the “first time west of the Rocky
Mountains.”
Mr. Simeon E. Marsh, the composer of sa-
cred music, died in Albany on the 14th ult., at
an advanced age. He was the author of the
tune “Martyr,” usually sung with the words
“Jesus, Lover of my Soul.”
Mr. Samuel Priestly Taylor, whose death at
an advanced age was recently noticed, was the
founder of the New York Handel and Haydn
Society. The introduction of chanting into
the Episcopal service in this city was also due
to him.
Biglow & Main publish the Book of Praise,
a new Sunday-school hymn and tune book,
edited by George A. Bell and Hubert P. Main.
Most of the selections have become popular.
in our Sunday-schools, and there are a num-
ber of new compositions. The hymns are
classified and arranged under appropriate
topics, as Praise, Heaven, Death, etc.
S. T. Gordon & Son publish The New Song,
a compilation of old and new music, especial-
ly adapted for revivals, prayer and camp-meet-
ings, classified and arranged by the Rev.
Aaron Coons. It contains all the old favorites
and some new tunes of merit. Two editions
are published, one complete of 256 pages, the
other containing only 128 pages of the very
best.
Silver Threads of Song is a new collection of
music for home and school use, by H. Millard,
published by S. T. Gordon & Son, New York.
The selections are made with excellent taste
and judgment, and comprise songs, duets,
and trios, also a musical charade, and the
operetta “Little Red Riding Hood.” The vol-
ume is prefaced by a course of instruction in
the elements, and exercises for practice.

e -º-º:
In our notice of Mr. Drake's new book,
just issued by the Harpers, we spoke of the
author as having recently died. The oversight
brought out the following note from the gen-
tleman, to whom we tender our apology :
BosTON, July 3, 1875.
Editor of the Booksellers' G wide :
Dear Sir–Having read in your issue of July 1st the
notice of the death of Samuel Adams Drake, author of
“Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast,” the
writer hopes you will not consider him troublesome
when he pronounces the statement premature. It was
my father, Samuel Gardner Drake, whose death, which
you elsewhere so kindly notice, recently occurred.
Very truly yours,
SAML. ADAMS DRAKE.
FROM Mr. Lowell we have the following
definition of a classic : “A classic is properly a
book which maintains itself by virtue of that
happy coalescence of matter and style, that
inmate and exquisite sympathy between the
thought that gives life and the form which
consents to every mood of grace and dignity—
which can be simple without vulgar, elevated
without being distant, and which is something
neither ancient nor modern, always new, and
incapable of growing old.”
J. R Ford 3 Pos suspension
The following circular letter, sent to their
creditors by J. B. Ford & Co., will explain
itself: .
New York, July 26, 1875.
MESSRS.— :
DFAlt SIR-Weregret to inform you that circumstan-
ces have rendered it necessary for us to ask the advice
and assistance of our creditors. These are not to be
confounded with those of The Christian Union Publish-
ing Company, which is a separate organization, and
perfectly good for all it owes. We therefore invite you
to attend a meeting of our creditors, at room No. 7 in
this building (No. 27 Park Place), on Thursday morn-
ing, July 29th, at 11 o'clock.
Very respectfully, J. B. FORD & CO.
The next day the following card was pub-
lished :
The publication in an evening paper of statements
concerning the affairs of J. B. Ford & Co., together
with a private notice to their creditors. being, as guess
statements usually are, partly true and partly false, .
Messrs. Ford & Co. prefer to give the facts, rather than
to leave the matter to conjecture.
The depression of their book business, in common
with that of the trade at large, has continued from the
panic of 1873 to the present time. And this has been
accompanied by yarious special aggravations, among
which was a fire in their bindery last February, which
destroyed the result of many months' work, and para-
lyzed their spring sales. It has finally resulted in the
present condition of affairs. The assets of the concern,
at bare cost, exceed their liabilities by more than
$80,000; but, as it is impossible, in the present state of
the market, to realize on these fast enough to meet
obligations as they mature, the firm decided upon a tem-
porary suspension of payment, in order to protect all
their creditors, while taking advice of them as to the
best course to pursue. It is to be regretted that in the
present condition of this affair, any one of the creditors
should have made public the invitation to a private and
informal consultation.
As to The Christian Union, of which the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher is editor, it has always been, and still is,
the property of The Christian Union Publishing Com-
pany. It is sustained by ample capital and a large pat-
, ronage. Its condition is sound, and its prospects 5right.
The Statement that it has lost ground since the trial is
not true. Messrs. Ford & Co's connection with it is
simply that, besides being stockholders in the company,
they have been employed as publishers of the paper.
The culmination of their own difficulties made it ex-
pººl. that they should resign that charge, which they
have done, and after the 15th of August the business of
the paper will be transacted by their successors. *
This change will enable Ford & Co. to devote their
entire time and energies to their book trade, which is a
large and Valuable one, especially in the publication and
sale of works by subscription. If they can make with
their creditors such reasonable arrangement as their cir-
cumstances require, they have no fear but that they will
recover the ground temporarily lost.
J. B. FORD & Co.
At a meeting of the creditors held on the
29th it was estimated that the assets of the
firm were in excess of the liabilities about
$80,000. A committee was appointed to pre-
pare a statement for the creditors. Ford &
Co. claim that, if they are given a slight ex-
tension, they will be able to resume.

THE AMERICAN Book TRADE Association.
OO/WVE/W7/O/W A T /V/AGAAPA FALLS,
FIRST SESSION, JULY 13, 1875.
The Convention met at 3 P. M., about one
hundred and fifty of the trade being present.
The President of the Association, Mr. A. D. F.
Randolph, of New York, called the meeting
to order, and after prayer by the Rev. Mr.
Arnold, made an eloquent and appropriate
address. After alluding in a complimentary
manner to the little band of booksellers that
started the movement for reform in Cincin-
nati, he said:
It is a matter for congratulation, that the book trade
of the country is beginning to realize through this na.
tional institution, the fact that it is not a body of isolated
traders—mere hucksters in merchandise, without an
organization, without definite purpose—but a company
of men organized in an honorable calling, and holding
intimate and enduring relations with the best interests
of the country. The realization of this simple truth has
already been of great service, and is the harbinger of
the ultimate triumph of the reform. We are beginning
to learn that with us there may be a republic of trade as
well as a republic of letters; that the publishers and the
bookseller hold a position of permanent importance to
the author as well as to the reader. If our civilization
in its progress produces the author and the reader, it like-
wise demands a method of production and distribution
through the publisher and the dealer. Every college,
school, and intelligent household becomes a consumer of
books. The bookseller is an indispensable agent, as
well as a creative force, in increasing the demand by the
exposure in the open market of the author's and pub-
lisher's product. Yet, notwithstanding this, how sel-
dom does it occur to those who take the deepest interest
in the education of the people that the book store in the
town and village is an educational institution, and that,
in a certain sense, it is as important to the community
as the school-house or the college; that it is an institu-
tion that also needs encouragement, and should be
strengthened in every way !
Now it is a significant fact, and worthy of all praise,
that during the last twenty years men of sagacious be-
nevolence have contributed vast sums of money for the
creation of new colleges and seminaries of learning, and
for the better endowment of the old. Other schools and
educational institutions, normal schools, high schools,
schools and colleges for women, have shared in sundry
benefactions. All over the country a new life has been
infused, and professors and teachers have reaped a large
return for their labors while the student has had facili-
ties and advantages without any increased mental tax.
During the same period, the common schools'everywhere
have been placed on, a more generous basis, and in some
of our cities are conducted on a plan of lavish expendi-
ture. In the meantime, however, the book trade of the
country, for reasons which I need not detail, has gradu-
ally, With some exceptions, become less profitable as a
business pursuit: the local bookseller in manifold dis-
tricts has found himself with a lessening trade, a decreas-
ing Stock and failing resources. And towns and villa-
ges that boast an opera house, and a railway station, and
churches, and schools, and sometimes seminaries of
learning, with banks and warehouses, and shops glitter-
ing with dress goods of “our own importation,” have
Suffered the local book store to droop, if not to die, all
unconscious that by such an act a most important edu-
cational institution has been lost. .
I know of a town in one of the oldest States in the
Union that has a college with Thundreds of students,
and this college, during the last decade, has been the
recipient of more than half a million of money; and
this town, with a college so richly endowed, and with a
high school famous in its reputation, has allowed its
local book store, established nearly half a century ago,
to dwindle into insignificant proportions. "And why?
Simply because the cºmpetitions of trade have sent the
college and the school, the professor and teacher, to
purchase their supplies where they could be had as
cheaply as the bookseller himself could procure them.
A good proportion of that town is engaged in the busi-
ness of bookselling, if buying books at “trade prices”
constitute a bookseller; for there is a College book
Store—you know what that is—bound to furnish the
indigent student with his books at cost—and Oh, what
a large number of indigent students there are –and the
student's friend buys at the same rate as the student
himself, and then there is the college library Supplied at
the trade rates, and the librarian is allowed by the liber.
ality of the city bookseller to include in his orders any
books he may want for himself, or his friends, or the
friends of the faculty, or the faculty itself. When all
these have been supplied what is there left, in the way of
trade or traffic, for the local bookseller His book
Stock disappears behind the long partitioned lines of
Wall paper, and the shelves on which the works of the
great masters of English literature and their successors
should be found, are empty, and the vacant places are
covered by illuminated scripture texts, or chromos of
“The Old Oaken Bucket that Hung in the Well.” And
SO, gentlemen, it has come to pass that a bookseller in a
college town, instead of having one of the best markets,
has one of the poorest. And a saving of fifteen per cent.
to the student on his text books and a similar Saving on
the purchases for the library of the institution has left
the rest of the community without the refined and ele.
Vating influence of a well-assorted book store.
Now, this is but one of the evils that afflict us. Yet
let us be just, and not forget that all our evils are large-
ly of our own creating; that it is our own fault that they

were not long ago corrected, and that now they seem to
threaten us with disaster.
It may be well for us to consider now and here what
our real position as publishers and dealersis; what rela-
tion does our trade hold to the trade and commerce of
the whole country . How far has the author, the pub-
lisher, the seller of books stimulated the colonization of
States, the development of hidden resources, the building
of ships and steamers, the erection of mills and factor-
ies, the construction of railways? Thirty odd years ago
Mr. Fremont crossed the Rocky Mountains, and planted
his flag on the Pacific shore. Some of the rude nuen of
the bordér followed swiftly on his trail, but it was the
publication of his official report, issued in pamphlet
form by the Tribune and scattered over the country, that
fired the enterprise of a host of daring, intelligent men,
who in time became the explorers and colonists of that
wonderful country on the Pacific coast, and put the
mark of their power upon it. This is but a suggestion
in this direction. But there is a still higher plane on
which we stand, even as the intellectual and the moral
is higher than the mere material. Consider the position
of the author in his relation to the publisher, and of these
and the dealer to the educational interests at large. Of
what avail would the labors of the author be if all his
great thoughts were to be forever shut up within the
folds of his manuscript. And so what intelligence, what
- sagacity, what enterprise is required on the part of the
publisher to comprehend the public want, to create the
public taste, and step by step lift it to a higher level !
Why, gentlemen, it demands more skill than to bore the
Hoosac tunnel or to construct the Victoria bridge
Who is it that stands between the well-formed opin-
ions of the author and the unformed opinions of the pub-
lic but the publisher and the dealer? Who has devel-
oped a better or more comprehensive system of text-
books of all kinds and grades for seminary, college, and
school, while taking all the risk and venture, than the
American publisher ? Who has done more for American
literature than he whom we laid in Greenwood a few
weeks ago—the great pioneer of the American publish-
ing trade, John Harper ? And the humblest man of the
trade, at the cross roads or in the village, holds no mean
relation to the great agencies for good in the world. His
neighbor may outstrip him in the race for pecuniary
reward, for that which men eat and wear is a better
paying business. But the intelligent book dealer has a
place of ministry, not to the artificial or bodily wants of
his fellows, but to their higher and better natures. He,
in his small way, is an educator, and can not perhaps
follow to their many conclusions all his teachings ; and
yet some day he may put into the hands of a buyer a
book that shall start trains of thought and mold a char-
acter that hereafter may command senates or assemblies
to shake the destinies of nations, or rescue imperiled
souls. Gentlemen, these are but indications of some of
the relations which you hold to all the great factors in
our civilization. I do not flatter you, nor would I unduly
exalt your calling and mine. Yet it is an honorable one,
it is susceptible of producing its own great reward in the
consciousness that the world Ought to be better because
of you, and such as you, having lived and worked in it.
And yet you ask for no endowments out of the public or
the private purse; no gift from any man's treasury, but
only this: a moderate return for your labor and invest-
ment, that you may have the bread which you have
earned by the sweat of your brow. -
Now, it is to correct some of the evils to which I have
alluded that we have organized and assembled here.
But this is not a trade union, as it has been called; it
does not seek to array one class against another; it is
not money as against brains ; we are not striking for
eight hours or ten hours, but only demand a fair day's
wages for a full day's work. Nor is it a movement to
increase the price of books, but simply to retain the price
which the publisher has fixed, and which price affords
no larger proportionate profits either to publisher or
dealer than that afforded upon all articles of common
merchandise. And, gentlemen, no one is more deeply
interested in the principles and results which underlie
this reform which we contemplate than the book buyers
of the country. If the owner of mines in Pennsylvania,
if the cotton planter of the South, or the grain producer
of the West has an interest in the furnaces of the Alle-
ghanies, in the mills of Massachusetts, and in the pros-
perity of labor in all the towns and cities, then, certain-
ly, all nations, all educators, all the learned professors,
all philanthropists, have a vital, permanent interest in
the prosperity of the American Book Trade. It is to all
these that we may frankly and rightly appeal to help on
this work of reform. We are co-workers with them in
the elevation of the people. It is a condition of mutual
dependence and support, and the time is coming when
they will realize that for them to ask or to insist upon a
reduction of our legitimate and necessary profits would
be as unjust as for us to claim because of our position
and calling a certain percentage of their income.
After referring to the progress that had
been made, and congratulating the trade that
so much had already been accomplished, he
proceeded: -
It would not be strange, if, among this company—re-
presenting, as I said, a diversity of opinion, although
there is a unity of interests—there should be some com-
plaints as to the prop"inty of proposed modifications or
changes in the mo: ºut. That will not be strange;
but let us remember this one thing : that we are here as
brethren ; that we are here as men engaged in an exalt-
ed calling ; that we have a business and duty to per-
form—to lift our calling out of the slums into which we
have suffered it to fall. And so do not let us look at
this question from our own limited point of view ; do
not let us look at the book trade of the country through
the narrow focus of Chicago, or Detroit, or St. Louis, or
New York, or Boston, but let us look at it as a whole.
It is not a publisher's movement; it is not a jobber's
movement; nor is it a dealer's movement; but it is owr
movement. And because it is ours let us continue to
maintain this spirit of magnanimity, this spirit of
manly foresight, which will enable each one of us to
bring into our deliberations not an element of discord
but an element of harmony, so that we shall forward
the whole movement, and go from this place to carry it

to a swift conclusion. One word more and I am done.
You will remember when Commodore Perry fought the
battle of Lake Erie—a hotly contested battle—that he
was obliged to shift his flag from the sinking Lawrence
to the Niagara. And it was on the Niagara that he
won the battle.
During the delivery of his address Mr.
Randolph was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause. At its close, the secretary, Mr. John
H. Thomas, read the platform and resolutions
adopted at Put-in-Bay.
The Chairman of the Committee on Assem-
blies, Mr. Isaac E. Sheldon, made a report, in
which he stated that twenty-seven States were
represented in the Convention. Mr. R. R.
Bowker, the secretary of the Committee, re-
ported the arrangements which had been
made for the accommodation of the Conven-
tion. The President, in introducing Mr.
Bowker, paid him a very high compliment
for his zeal in the work of reform, saying
that to him more than to any other man in
the convention, the trade owed the practical
realization of their hopes.
In the absence of the Chairman of the
Committee on the Book Fair, Mr. Sheldon
reported that the Fair would be held in
New York immediately after the close of the
Convention, and he urged those present to
attend. -
Mr. A. C. Barnes, of New York, Chairman
of the Central Booksellers' Association, gave
a report of what that body had accomplished
during the past year. In the course of his
remarks he spoke of a new plan proposed by
a Philadelphia house, as like the stratagem
of the wooden horse, by which the Greeks
gained possession of Troy: The Association,
he said, could very well manage the horse, if
this firm would help the Association manage
its pony. Being called on for the name of
the house referred to, he declined to give it,
but stated that it had now joined the Asso-
ciation, which left not a single large firm
outside. -
Mr. E. L. Jansen, of Chicago, reported that-
the reform measures had worked to the satis-
faction of the trade in his city. Similar re-
ports were made by Mr. Cushings, of Balti-
more, Mr. H. H. West, of Milwaukee, Mr. W.
D. Baker, of St. Louis, Mr. Stevens, of Cin-
cinnati, and others.
The Executive Committee reported a series
of resolutions, which were referred to a com-
mittee of thirty appointed by the chair, to
which committee the officers of the Associa-
tion were afterward added. e
The following gentlemen were appointed

SEconD DAY-MORNING SESSION.
The Convention met at 10:30 A. M. July
14th, the attendance being much larger than
on the previous day. The President reported
in behalf of the Committee of Thirty, that
they were now in session and would present
their report later in the day. -
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and adopted.
President Randolph said, while waiting for
the Committee’s report, the time could not be
IO Ol’6” profitably spent than in listening to the
experience of booksellers from different sec-
tions of the country. -
Mr. George H. McGinness, of Princeton, N. J., being
called upon, said that he had been in the business about
thirty years, and had been obliged to have a dozen prices
for as many different classes of buyers. EIe related how
one after another of the booksellers around him had
failed, involving losses to the publishers as well as to
themselves. He had kept up prices when he could,
but he would not allow himself to be undersold, and had
added nearly everything to his stogk rather than give
up the book business.
Mr. Arnold, of Detroit, said that he had retired from
a good position in the ministry to engage in the book.
business, without any capital but the goodwill of friends.
Eſe had come slowly up to the platform of the Associa-
tion, but he believed now that it is better to have but
one price and stick to it. In Michigan they had been
sticking to the 20 per cent. rule, and their profits were
I0 per cent. more this year than ever before. They had
supposed that all the trade were going to keep the 20
per cent. Tule, but a short time ago they learned that in
266
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
Cincinnati and the East the trade were selling to libra-
ries and even at retail at 25 per cent. Tibballs, of New
York, was as well known in Michigan as he was, and if
he could not be prevented from selling at any price, as
he does, the reform is a failure. -
Mr. D. H. Davis, of Coldwater, Michigan, said he had
béen in the business fifteen years, and had seen more
demoralization in the trade during the past five years
than ever before. During that time he has been obliged
to sell books at any price. The practice of publishers
in selling to anybody outside of the trade at less than
the retail prices which they fix is an outrage. As long
as they do it they must not find fault if retailers do not
buy their books. Every retailer feels that to do busi-
ness he must undersell the publisher. Professional dis-
counts should be discontinued entirely. The minister
and doctor and lawyer should pay as much for their
books as the common laborer. The real cost of a book
is not its cost in New York or Boston, but the expenses
of the business must be added. Had some doubts as to
whether the retail prices of miscellaneous books were
too high, but thought they were on school books. At
any rate, discounts should be reduced and the margin
of profit should be something certain.
President Randolph here feelingly referred
to the late Mr. George P. Putnam, as one who
always had a kind and generous word for
his friends, and a helping hand for those in
need, saying that he had done much to de-
velop American literature by taking the
American author by the hand. . He called
upon his son, Mr. G. H. Putnam, of New York,
to address the convention.
Mr. Putnam returned thanks for the kind reference to
his father, who, he wished, could be here to-day. He was
proud to belong to the book trade. Books occupy a pe-
culiar position in trade, but still they were merchandise.
His house was fully committed to the reform, but they
had a great deal of difficulty in explaining to buyers for
libraries. We should do here only what could be held
to, and no restrictions should be attempted which will
interfere with the independence of individual firms.
Mr. D. Lothrop, of Boston, said that the trade of his
city had all subscribed to the twenty per cent. rule,
but as it was to be enforced only when the trade of
New York and Philadelphia had agreed to it, and as
they in Boston had not been notified of such agreement,
they had continued selling at their own prices. He ad-
vised the Convention to take no step from which they
would have to recede. The publishers need the retailers
and should support them.
The Committee of Thirty here entered, and
the Chairman reported the following resolu-
tions : &
1st. Jºesolved: That none but members of the Associa-
tion shall be allowed to participate in the Book Fair,
either as sellers or buyers.
2d. [This resolution was to request publish-
ers and jobbers to protect the trade by refus-
ing to sell at better than twenty per cent. to
those who should violate the agreements of
this Association.]
3d. Resolved: That booksellers may have the privilege
of selling remainders and old stock at *::::: prices,
under the following conditions, viz.:-lst. That the
books so sold shall be at least six months old. 2d. That
the selling price shall be fixed. 3d. That the original
price shall not be named.
4th. Resolved : That the Executive Committee be in-
structed to prepare a petition to Congress, praying that
body to restore to the former rates of postage all books
and 'printed matter of the “third class,”—and present
the same to the members of this Association for sigma.
tures.
The first resolution was adopted without
discussion. - *
The second resolution excited much de-
bate.
Mr. George B. Brown, of Toledo, appealed
to the convention to pass it.
Mr. W. A. Ingham, of Cleveland, explained
that it did not impose a penalty on those out-
side of the Association, whom the Arbitration
Committee could not reach.
President Randolph said it was only a re-
quest. If members of the trade complied
with the request, it would be all right. If
they refused to comply we could not compel
them. - -
Mr. Hammett, of Boston, thought tué reso-
lution not clear enough. Large buyers should
get better discounts than small buyers.
Mr. Isaac E. Sheldon, New York, said that
too much attention was being given to de-
tails. He had no doubt that publishers would
extend the fullest protection possible to re-
tailers. The business of this association is to
make a sentiment, not laws. A sentiment
without a law is more powerful for good
than a law without the will to uphold it.
Such a sentiment will control the publishers
who can not be driven, and it will soon be
disgraceful to sell books at under prices.
Mr. Sheldon moved that the resolution be
referred back to the Committee of Thirty for
simplification.
Mr. Barnes in seconding the motion said
there should be no mistake in the meaning of
the resolution. It contained the most import-
ant work of the Convention.
Mr. Knight, of Troy, thought it should not
be changed.
Mr. Sheldon said no change in the meaning
was wanted, but in the expression of it.
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
267
Mr. Barnes said that we wanted to make
the issue as simple as possible. One point
$ecured is worth a dozen failures. This reso-
lution expresses the common ground on which
all can agree. It meets the wants of the radi-
cals; it includes the ideal of the conserva-
tives; it can not be objected to by the hostile
or the indifferent. The publishers have the
power and can do a great deal to protect the
retailers. This resolution asks them to do it.
Mr. W. F. Draper, of Andover, Mass., said
if the resolution is not adopted the Conven-
tion is a failure. But if there is anything in
the resolution likely to be misunderstood, we
should correct it. The co-operation of the
publishers we must have. Publishers are the
head, booksellers the hands and feet of the
trade.
Mr. George B. Brown opposed sending it
back to the committee.
Mr. Timothy Nicholson, Richmond, Ind.,
moved as a substitute to refer it to a commit-
tee of five, Mr. Brown to be chairman. The
motion was amended, that the special com-
mittee be selected from the Committee of
Thirty, and adopted. -
President Randolph appointed the follow-
ing as -
TEIE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF FIVE :
G. B. Brown, Toledo, O.; A. C. Barnes, New York;
Joseph Cushing, Baltimore, Md. ; Timothy Nicholson,
Richmond, Ind., S. T. Bowen, Indianapolis, Ind.
The following resolutions were offered by
Mr. R. R. Bowker, and adopted:
Resolved, That a committee of five on local organiza-
tions, be appointed by the chair.
Resolved, That a committee of five on religious so-
cieties be appointed, to ascertain what are their rules
and whether they are in accord with the rules of this
association.
Mr. Martin Taylor offered the following,
which was adopted :
JResolved, That this convention respectfully requests
the dealers in denominational publications to conform
their discounts to the agreements of this association.
. Convention adjourned to 4 P. M.
SECOND DAY, SECOND SESSION.
The Convention met at 4 P. M. -
The President read a letter from Thomas
Nelson & Sons, New York, endorsing the
movement, and offering a gift of 500 Guides
to Mºagara to the members of the Conven-
tion.
For the gift, a vote of thanks was passed.
A letter was read from George R. Lock-
wood, New York, excusing his absence and
promising co-operation.
A letter was read from S. A. Clark & Co.
Pittsburgh, Pa., accompanied by a present of
a box of Crandall’s Acrobats, which caused
much merriment. f.
A letter was also read from Ivison, Blake-
man, Taylor & Co., N.Y., and from the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union, both declaring
sympathy with the objects of the convention.
The president read a communication from
the booksellers of the Lehigh Valley, recom-
mending the reduction of discounts, and stat-
ing that they were in accord with any honest
movement to correct the abuses in the trade.
i The letter was signed by William Maxwell,
and W. C. Riegel, of Easton, Pa.; Henry T.
Clauder, G. W. Perkin, and Charles H. Swartz
& Co., of Bethlehem, Pa.; Lessing, Trexler &
Co , S. K. Probst & Co., and John W. Achs,
of Allentown, Pa. -
A letter was read from Mr. Frederick Vick-
er, Librarian of the Public Library of Cincin-
nati, complaining of the injustice of the 20
per cent. Tule, in not discriminating between
the large buyer and the small one. He said
the library expended annually about $18,000,
buying of a single firm in one year more than
$7,000 worth of books, yet under the rules of
the Association they were not allowed a
greater discount than the buyer of a single
book. .
Mr R. R. Bowker moved the following,
which was adopted :
Resolved, That a select Committee of five be appoint-
ed by the Chair, of which the President of the Associa-
tion shall be chairman, to prepare a circular letter, ad-
dressed to the libraries of the country; and another
circular letter addressed to the book-buyers of the coun-
try, stating the position of the Association and its rea-
sons for taking the course it pursues.
At this point President Randolph said the
store of the American News Company in New
York was the only bookstore that he knew of
in the country in which were posted notices
that no discounts would be allowed from re-
tail prices, except to the trade, and he called
upon Mr. Patrick Farrelly, manager of the
Company, to address the convention. Mr. Far-
relly took the platform amid much applause,
and briefly said: -
268
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
The booksellers who know us understand fully our
position in reference to this movement. We have al-
Ways thought it unfair to the retailers for publishers to
fix their retail prices and then undersell those prices at
retail. We could not as jobbers, in justice to our trade,
or in justice to ourselves, compete with retail booksel-
lers in any particular, and it has always been our rule
to charge full retail prices to buyers not in the trade.
The American News Company will do everything in
their power to promote the interests of the book
trade.
Mr. George Wood, of the firm of J. B Lip-
pencott & Co., being invited to the platform,
addressed the convention as follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Oonvention :
To properly respond to the brilliant and masterly ora-
tion delivered here last evening, would be an assumption
of ability on my part to which I can not pretend. And
I will, therefore, simply endeavor to present to you a
statement of our relations with the Central Booksellers'
Association of New York as it may appear, viewed
from our standpoint. In the first place, we failed to per-
ceive the great importance and liberality of the conces-
sions made to this Association by the Publishers' Board.
of Trade, and in our opinion they were not sufficient to
base even a reasonably successful effort at reform. Our
entire objections to the resolution presented to us by
the Association were contained in one clause ; they
Wel'e : -
First, that the clause itself was so indefinte that we
were unable to accede to it;
Second, our firm claimed that the school-book pub-
lishers had the right to make their own discounts to
their trade;
Third, our firm was unable to see the justice of the
numerous exceptions allowed by the Associaiion to their
own established rule. &
In regard to furnishing supplies to school boards,
we can only say that after the work of introduction shall
have been completed, and the books necessary for a first
supply shall have been furnished to the board interested,
we can not but feel, that from that time forth the local
bookseller, small though he may be, should have some
right to expect at least a slight profit on future supplies.
By the adoption of the resolution mentioned, however,
he was entirely ignored and set aside ; and the board in
question continuing to procure their supplies direct from
the publisher (in many cases at best trade rates), he
finds, to a certain extent, his occupation gone, and his
influence among his patrons correspondingly decreased.
Remember, gentlemen, I am no apologist for selling at
retail at less than retail rates; but I hold that this is a
practice beside which that of underselling, as gener-
ally understood, is of secondary consideration ; and
which, if not remedied sooner or later, will become a
dangerous element in our organization. In behalf of
the retail dealer, we therefore claimed that this was an
abuse which in all justice and right should have bee
remedied, and as school-book publishers we feel that
fhere was good reason why this claim should not have
been granted. Our main objection to the remaining
portion of their resolution was our failure to perceive
the justice of preferring one class of the community over
those of another. It is our firm conviction that just in
proportion as exceptions are made, opportunities for
evasion and misunderstanding are multiplied.
Our experience teaches us that these will not fail to
be taken advantage of by certain dealers, and universal
dissatisfaction and endless complaint will certainly he
the result. We had always intended laying these rea-
sons before you at this time and without insisting upon -
any action thereon, and to have hoped to obtain for
them a consideration which we felt their importance
fully merited. And in conclusion, did I not feel that you
would receive this explanation in the spirit in which it
is tendered, and that our actions were the result of our
honest convictions, and that our presence here to-day is
due to some higher motive than a lack of a proper sense
of self-respect and the influence of the lash, we would
certainly be compelled to decline taking further part in
your deliberations. - -
Mr. George B. Brown, Chairman of the
Special Committee on the second resolution
of the Committee of Thirty, reported the fol-
lowing, which was unanimously adopted :
Whereas, It is the unanimous and settled conviction
of this Association that unless its principles and reso-
lutions are rigorously carried into effect it will be im-
possible for honest booksellers longer to maintain them-
selves, that the best and most enterprising booksellers
will rapidly withdraw their capital from this business,
and that serious loss must come to publishers, as well as
to the trade at large ; and,
Whereas, We believe that the time has come when,
by the hearty co-operation of all branches of our
trade, a final blow may be struck at the evils of under-
selling, and pledging ourselves faithfully to stand by
}. another in measures necessary to that end; there-
ore,
Resolved, That we, as an organization, do most re.
spectfully and yet earnestly ask publishers so to control
the sales of their publications to jobbers and other deal-
ers, as to protect us in securing for the public the prices
which they themselves have fixed on their own publica-
tions, and to prevent undersellers from purchasing at
rates that will enable them to sell in violation of the
rules of this Association.
The third resolution relating to the sale of
old stock, was then taken up, and it created
a lengthy and animated discussion. -
Mr. Knight, of Troy, thought that old or slow stock
could not be sold without mentioning the large discount
or the retail price.
Mr. Coates, of Porter & Coates, Philadelphia, said he
hoped no bookseller would disgrace their books by put-
ting them on a cheap counter, but would send them
back to the publishers instead. -
Mr. Taylor, of Buffalo, said the dealers in that
city had lived up to the twenty per cent. Tule, and he
thought it flexible enough to get rid of old stock. If it
is not, let us give such books away to some public insti-
tution.
TMr. Lockwood, of Lockwood, Brooks & Co., Boston,
said as the twenty per cent. rule only applied to the pro-
fessions, he did not see how it could help the trade in
disposing of old stock.
THE AMERICAN B00KSELLERS' GUIDE.
269
Mr. Arnold, of Detroit, said the bane of the trade was
old stock, and there should be some way allowed of get-
ting rid of it at reduced prices. He objected to extend-
in g the privilege through the year; thought three months
would be enough.
Mr. Avery, of Rochester, said the resolution, if adopt:
ed, would open the door for the abuses we have been
complaining of.
Mr. Stevens, of Cincinnati, thought the Convention
should not legislate on the matter at all.
Mr. Knight, of EI. B. Nims & Co., Troy, N. Y., said
that, wishing to please the public, his house was obliged
to take some copies of nearly every book published in
this country, besides a large number of English books.
The result was the accumulation of too much dead
stock. We want the privilege of putting books on a
cheap counter at our own discretion. It is for the in-
terest of the publisher, the dealer, and the public. It
can be done honestly, without opening the door for
underselling.
Mr. Putnam, of New York, thought we should not
adopt any rule which could not be honestly kept with-
out any mental reservation. -
Mr. Bowen, of Indianapolis, said he thought it better
that the privilege of selling old stock at underprices
should be defined and exercised under the auspices of
the Association, than be left to individual booksellers.
Mr. J. B. Parker, of Hanover, N. H., stated that he
got rid of his old stock by an auction sale, two evenings
in the year. *
Mr. Taylor, of Buffalo, thought it a good ided to send
Čead stock to the auction room.
The debate was closed by Mr. Cushing, who
offered the following as a substitute, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That the mode of disposing of unsalable
; be left, as at present, to the discretion of the
€0.10ſ.
The fourth resolution reported by the Com-
mittee of Thirty was adopted without dis-
cussion.
Mr. R. R. Bowker offered the following,
which were adopted :
Whereas, The first centennial of our nation's anni-
versary is about approaching,
Resolved, That it is necessary that the American
Book Traders' Association should be appropriately re-
resented at the International celebration to be held at
É. at that time; and to that end,
Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed by
the Chair from among members residing near or at
Philadelphia, whose duty it shall be te determ.ne the
plans to be pursued by the Association and the means
of successfully carrying them out.
The following was also moved by Mr.
Bowker and adopted :
Whereas, The prominence of the words “twenty per
cent,” in the resolution in the Put-in-Bay Platform, and
in the agreement of the Central City Booksellers' Asso-
ciation, has given rise to some misunderstanding;
Resolved, That a sub-committee from the Committee
of Thirty, be requested to draft a re-statement of this
important resolution, without altering its present tenor,
that retail prices shall be definitely set forth as the
basis of the rule; and discounts, within the limits of
twenty per cent., as an exception thereto; and that
they be also requested to suggest and further modify
the definitions as to the “ large buyers,” or other
phrases, so that this resolution may be a clear, definite,
and explicit statement of the position as to discounts
º: forth for the guidance of those engaged in the re-
OTDul.
Upon motion the chair appointed the fol-
lowing -

The Convention adjourned.
THIRD DAY, JULY 15TH, FIRST SESSION.
The convention met at 10.30 A. M. While
waiting for the Committee of Thirty, the presi-
dent called on a number of those present to
give their experience, and several short ad
dresses were made.
Mr. Erastus Darrow, of Rochester, N. Y., said the
University of Rochester was established twenty-five
years ago, and he had experienced the same trouble as
other dealers had in college towns, that of being under-
sold by the publishers. Bookselling should be more of
a profession than it is. He came into this movement
late, but was in hearty accord with it now, and was
helping to form an association for Western New York,
to include Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Elmira, Owe-
go and other towns.
Mr. J. C. Sterling, of Watertown, N. Y., said he had
maintained regular prices. He could see no consistency
in giving clergymen a discount, or anybody else out-
side of the trade. His only trouble had been a “ninety-
nine cent store,” but as the proprietor knew but little
about books, and did not keep what the people wanted,
he had been but little patronized.
Mr. Clauder, of Bethlehem, Pa., said he had been in
the business but six years, but he had had the same ex-
perience as the rest. Five years ago he tried to get the
order for the school supplies in his town, and was
astonished to find that they changed their books every
year and got them for little or nothing. This they did
till the legislature passed a law requiring them to use
the same books three years.
Mr. Samuel Sackett, of Monroe, Mich., said he had
had no trouble about prices. He did not understand
the twenty per cent. rule to apply to everybody, as some
dealers in our large cities seemed to believe. He had
no complaint to make of the publishers, who had treated

him fairly, and in Monroe, even Vinegar Bitters sold at
full retail prices, and no discounts to clergymen or
schoolmasters. There should be no discount to any-
body but the trade, and that is what the reform must
come to.
Mr. W. H. Watkins, of Waco, Texas, said that in his
section, until within a few years, their distance from
other markets had saved them from many of the troubles
complained of by others, but lately the increased facili-
ties afforded by the railroads and telegraph have thrown
them into competition with the distant publishers
Mr. Shepard, of the firm of Mat. Foster & Co., Kansas
City, Mo., said that before the Put-in-Bay meeting he
had come to the conclusion that he had missed his call-
ing—that bookselling was not profitable. Since that
meeting things had worked better. The greatest ob-
jection to selling to clergymen at a discount was that
they would frequently send their friends to purchase at
the same prices. Publishers, when sending books by
mail, should add the postage to the price.
Mr. Putnam, of New York, said his house had pub-
lished a book designed for teachers only, and on sending
out 1,200 circulars, they received only twelve orders by
mail. He did not think the mail business of the pub-
lishers had any perceptible influence on the trade.
The President announced the appointment
of the following
coxſwitTEE ON CIRCULAR LETTERs.
A. D. F. Randolph, New York; Wm. Lee, Boston;
A. C. McClurg, Chicago; George Wood, Philadelphia;
J. H. Cushing, Baltimore, Md.
A meeting of the retailer booksellers had
been called for 8 A.M., but the early hour had
prevented anybody from attending but Mr.
W. H. Watson, of Aurora, Ill., who now
presented the following report, causing much
laughter:
At a very enthusiastic meeting of the retail dealers, held
this morning at 8 o'clock, it was unanimously resolved
to retail books at thirty per cent. discount, in order to
compete with publishers. When, this resolution was
carried, the applause was loud and enthusiastic. . Being
the only retailer present, I elected myself chairman of
the meeting, and was likewise compelled to elect myself
secretary. *
(Signed) W. H. WATSON.
Mr. Lee, from the Committee of Thirty,
submitted the following report : *
The Committee of Thirty recommend to the Con-
vention the following resolutions:
1st, Resolved, That Article VIII. of the Constitution
be amended to read as follows:
VIII. The Committee on Arbitration shall take cog-
mizance of all complaints made by members for al-
leged infraction of the By-Laws and agreements of this
Association. They shall endeavor, if possible, to recon-
cile all parties, and if not successful, may publish in the
official organ of the Trade a complete statement of the
case, with their conclusions, and present the same to the
Association at its next meeting.
2. Resolved, That the following be adopted as a By-Law:
An underseller, in the meaning of this Association, is
defined to be a dealer, whether a member of this organ-
ization or not, who, in practice violates its By-Laws
and agreements as to the sale of books; this fact having
first been proven to the satisfaction of the Arbitration
Committee of this Association. *
3d. Resolved, ...That this Association delegate to the
Central Booksellers' Association the duty of presenting
and urging the assent of all Pºlº to the resolutions
protecting the trade adopted by this Convention.
4th. Whereas, The increasing importation of English
books at merely nominal rates. is enabling foreigners to
Supply the American market at prices so low that nei-
ther the honest importer nor the American publisher
can possibly compete with them, thus injuring the rev-
enue of the United States and rendering the publica-
tions of American authors unprofitable ; therefore,
Resolved, That a standing committee of five be ap-
pointed to suggest measures for the proper enforcement
of the present revenue laws, and to prepare a memorial
to Congress to secure such legislation as may be neces-
sary for the future.
The first three resolutions were adopted
without debate. *
The fourth resolution provoked a lengthy
and animated discussion.
Mr. Randolph left the chair and earnestly opposed
the resolution as going beyond the province of this As-
sociation. He was tired of the red flag of protection.
The passage of the resolution would introduce a fire.
brand which could not be put out.
Mr. William Lee, of Boston, said these foreign books
fill our booksellers' shelves, and injure American pub.
lications. They are made cheaply, and pay duties on
Only nominal prices, and it must be remembered that the
foreign publishers with branches in this country do not
join our Association.
Mr. Sheldon, of New York, complimented Mr. Ran-
dolph on his zeal for the welfare of the trade, and said
the difference between him and others on this matter
was not a real one. The question was not one of tariff,
but one of simple justice. An honest importer now has
no chance, and the suppression of fraudulent competi-
tion was necessary to build up American letters. -
Mr. Coates, of Philadelphia, said that all we ask is
that dishonest importations be checked.
Mr. H. O. Houghton, of Cambridge, Mass., being
called upon said, that this is an association of American
booksellers, and what is in the interest of one is in the
interest of all. A bookseller is something more than a
tradesman. We are all free traders or protectionists as
it suits us. Mr. Randolph is a free trader in everything
except religion. He spoke of the late English move-
ment to protect their literature, and said we should do
something to protect ours. To be sure we had revenue
laws, but we all knew that they were not strictly en-
forced. A paper maker recently offered to take for
paper stock a large lot of imported books at their ap-
praised value, on which the duty was collected. Seven-
eighths of the cost of our stereotype plates is for manual
labor, while the price of English books, for this market,
is based on the cost of paper and printing only. He
read statistics from the last census to show that impor-
tations were constantly increasing to the great injury of
American authors and bookmakers. Our Sunday schools
are filled with namby-pamby books from England, teach-
ing children to be respectful to their masters, because in
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.

England they believed that one set of men were born to
serve another set. We should protect and foster a home
literature for ourselves and for our children, to prepare
them for American citizenship. Professor Agassiz told
the speaker that if American literature could be fostered
this would be the greatest country in the world for in-
vestigation.
Mr. Putnam, of New York, thought the question too
impo, tant to be discussed here in the brief time that
can be given to it.
Mr. Arnold, of Detroit, objected to the statement
that there was dishonesty in all the custom houses.
Mr. Stevens, of Cincinnati, favored the resolution in
the interest of honesty.
At this point Mr. S. T. Bowen, of Indiana-
polis, Ind., moved the following as a substi-
tute for the resolution under discussion :
Resolved, That a standing committee of fiye, consist-
ing of H. O. Houghton, J. W. Harper, Jos. M. Cushing,
Robert Clarke, and George Wood, be appointed, whose
duty it shall be to investigate the º irregularities
in the importation of books, especially in reference to
our revenue laws, to take such action in the premises
as they may find necessary, and report the result of
their labors to this Association at its next meeting, re-
commending such action as the facts may demand.
Mr. Randolph said our exportations were not incon-
siderable. He sold both plates and editions to England.
He thought the passage of the resolution would prevent
the respectable English houses in New York from co-
operating with us on the twenty per cent. rule.
Mr. Houghton read further statistics to show that
our books exported bore no proper ratio to the impor-
tations. In 1872 our exports were $710,330, imports
$2,610,000. In 1873, exports $713,984, imports $2,916,354.
In 1874, exports $589,928, imports $2,663,487. It is im-
possible to enforce our present revenue laws. This is
not a publisher's matter alone. It is legitimately here,
as a question which effects the vital interests of the
trade.
The resolution was finally laid on the table,
and the Convention adjourned to 4 P.M.
THIRD DAY. SECOND SESSION.
The Convention met at 4.30 P.M.
The treasurer reported his receipts up to
June 23, 1875, $884. Expenditures, $600.
Balance on hand, $284.
The report was adopted.
Mr. R. R. Bowker, of the committee of five
to revise the 20 per cent. rule, reported the
following: e
Resolved, That the American Book Trade Association
pledges itself to maintain, and urges upon the entire
trade the absolute necessity of maintaining, the Pub-
lishers' advertised retail prices in all sales to buyers out-
side the trade, excepting that a reduction, not to exceed
ten per cent. on medical books, and twenty per cent. on
all other classes of books, including educational, may
be allowed to the following classes only: , Public libra-
ries, including circulating and Sunday-school; clergy-
men and professional teachers; professional books to
professional buyers; large buyers, said purchasers buy.
ing wholly for their own use, and in the case of the ex-
ceptions made by the Publishers' Board of Trade. In
case the rules of this Association should, under excep-
tional circumstances, work injustice to any dealer in
competition with other parties, said dealer may state
his case to the Arbitration Committee, and this com-
mittee shall have power to authorizo him to take such
measures as will meet the emergency, after notice has
been given and the like liberty granted to the other
dealers directly concerned.
Mr. James Campbell, of Boston, was opposed to the
Whole of this twenty per cent. business. The manufac-
turer should not fix a price and then provide for breaking
it. Bookselling is a business, and should be conducted
on business principles. No publisher is honest who
makes a price and uniformly breaks it. Two-thirds of
the prices as fixed by the publishers are fancy prices,
Which we cannot get. Since the publishers must make
the retail prices, let them give us honest prices which
We can get, then let us combine and hold to those prices.
Publishers have no business to make a discount to any-
body outside of the trade, and as long as they do it
the trade will be demoralized. He remembered the time
when a publisher who did it would be hooted. The
manufacturer should look after his goods and protect the
retailer. I have tried for years to correct the practice
of underselling, and now I come here and am asked to
Sign an agreement to allow publishers to do just what I
have been trying to prevent them from doing. He
could not see what reform there is in officially sanction-
ing as a legitimate privilege what everybody has decried
as unfair. -
Mr. Nicholson, of Richmond, Ind., thought that we
could not go beyond this resolution for the present.
Mr. Randolph said that it would take many resolutions
to crush out the evils which have been the slow growth
of years. This was a great step in advance. We are
in a better situation now than we have been for fifteen
years, and the prospects for the future are bright.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. A. C. Barnes, in a very humorous
speech, formally presented to Mr. Martin Tay-
łor Mr. Clarke's gift of Crandall’s acrobats.
Mr. Taylor made a witty reply, and the
whole affair was very amusing.
The following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved: That the twenty per cent. rule shall go into
operation on the 1st of August next ;
Ičesolved: That the Committee on Assemblies be re-
quested to tender to the Messrs. Gale & Fuller, the pro-
prietors of the International Hotel, the thanks of this
Convention for the courteous and generous manner in
which the delegates have been entertained. and the
liberal deductions made from the regular terms.
Resolved : That the thanks of the Convention be
tendered to the following persons for courtesies and
facilities extended: W. C. Gould, of the Erie Railway:
Mr. McChan, of the Canada Southern Railway; Messrs.
Nielson & Townsend, of the Prospect Park; J. B.
Rhodes, of the New Suspension Bridge, and also to the
proprietors of the Prospect Park for the use of their
commodious pavilion for the sessions of the Convention;
to the railway companies who have transported dele-
gates at reduced fares; to the hospitable proprietors of
the hotels generally, and of the various places of interest

ment for reform. Carried.
President Randolph addressed the conven-
- tion as follows:
Perhaps some other business or profession might have
made me better known to the world than the one which
I selected in early youth; but in no profession could I
find a nobler work than to lift this cause, which lies so
near my heart, to a higher place. Gentlemen, I want to
congratulate you here, as I had the honor of doing at
Put-in-Bay last year, on the unanimity manifested in
these meetings. The spirit that has animated you is
confined to no narrow locality; it is far-reaching and of
incalculable importance in molding the character of our
people. You know that it is an easy and a pleasant
thing to come together to discuss plans, to pass resolu-
tions; but be they never so good or numerous, they will
be of little avail unless we make up our minds that there
is work to be done, and plenty of it. And when you go
home, you should be active in founding local orgaiza-
tions, so that a public sentiment in the right direction
may be aroused. I beseech you not to be suspicious of
each other, not to lend too willing an ear to the voice of
detraction, for you will invariably find that one-half of
these rumors amount to nothing Let us have faith in
this movement and in each other. It may be said—in
fact, I know it will be said—that thi movement will fail.
It rests with you, gentlemen, to say whether you will
allow it to fail. If I know you, you will not, and I think
I do know you. And now, above all, let no one for any
private grievance or imagined injury, say, “I will with-
draw from this association.” You all know that in the
Gospel it is related that Paul at one time took ship and
put out to sea, that a great storm arose, and the crew
besought him to let them seek the shore. You remem-
ber his words: “Except ye abide in the ship, ye cannot
be saved.” They abode in the ship and they were saved.
Abide in the Association, and your safety will be assured,
and the cause of reform honored by your presence:
I count it a huppy omen that, although when in memo-
ry I turn back for a score of years, I find the apostles of
the book trade at that time passing away, yet they are not
absent in spirit. Their places are occupied by their sons,
who are fully as eager to preserve the trade in its integ-
rity as were their fathers before them. While we live,
let each one seek not only to make the world better, but
to lift up and maintain this grand movement of ours. In
a few days we shall go our separate ways, many to part
forever. I pray that you may all be blessed abundantly
with the gifts that come from above.
At the close of the address the Convention
adjourned.
—sº-Q-º-
THE Rook TRADE FAIR.
The first Booksellers' Exchange or Fair,
substitute for the trade auction sales, was
beld at the salesrooms of Geo. A. Leavitt &
Co., New York, commencing Monday morning,
July 19th, and closing Saturday noon, July
24th. There was a fuller display of books
than was ever before made in this country,
and the display of stationery was also very
fine. About one hundred publishers were
represented, some offering their full stock,
others only specialties. The greatest display
was probably made by Harper & Bros., whose
tables and racks contained over 4,000 Sample
copies. -
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS GUIDE.
273
The amount of sales for the week has not
yet been reported, but it is probably in the
neighborhood of $200,000. The largest sales
were of school-books, they being in season,
and the extra time offered operating as a
strong inducement to buyers. In miscellane-
ous books the largest bills were sold by those
houses whose books are held stiffly, and who
offered special discounts during the week.
The Harpers, for instance, gave 40 per cent. on
their books. The school-book publishers, as
a rule, refused to give better than their usual
rates.
Comparatively little stationery was sold,
some houses not selling a single bill. But
little dissatisfaction is expressed, however,
many of those who were disappointed in their
Sales arguing that the opportunity of display-
ing their goods will bring them orders in the
fall. As a display of books and stationery,
the fair was a success, whatever may be
thought of it as an exchange and clearing-
house. Many objections were made by
sellers to the five per cent. commission, and by
buyers to the rule in regard to indorsements,
but with some modifications of the plan the
fair may be made a permanent success.
Buyers and sellers alike are unanimous in
their opinion that this one was held too early
in the season, and another to be held in
October is talked of but the Committee are
as yet undecided. The following is a list of
the houses whose goods were offered :

THE TRADE DINNER.
"On the evening of July 23d, at the St James
Hotel, about two hundred members of the
book trade, with a few invited guests, partici-
pated in the first, dinner ever given to the
trade in the United States. It was quite an
informal affair, but a very pleasant one,
hurriedly arranged by a committee consisting
of Charles A. Clapp, Walter Appleton, B. H.
Ticknor, Robert Porter, and Joseph Knight.
After full justice had been done to the several
courses, Mr. Randolph, who presided, made a
happy little speech, and gave as a toast “The
American Book Trade.” Responses were made
by Col. Jansen of Chicago, and Wesley Jones
of Burlington, Iowa, J. W. Harper of New
York, and Mr. Kimball of Philadelphia. Mr.
Bainbridge spoke for the Printing and Sta-
tionery trades, Mr. Henry Holt for New
, England, and Mr. A. C. Barnes for the early
Reform Movement. Mr. Edmund Clarence
Stedman and Colonel Waring responded to a
toast to American Authors, and Mr. Brown of
the Post and Mr. Bowker of the Trilºurie
spoke for the Press. Mr. Plummer, of
Newark, New Jersey, read some clever rhymes
on the stationers who exhibited at the Fair.
At an early hour Mr. Randolph suggested that
the trade set a good example and not stay late,
and the diners retired in the best of humor
with themselves and each other, and convinced
that there are many worse callings than that
of a bookseller or stationer.

A. New PLAN FO R AN Association.
The following reaches us now for the first
time. As we did not hear of it at the Conven-
tion, we suppose it was not adopted by the book-
sellers of Chicago, where it seems to have
originated. As it contains some novel feat-
ures, we give it a place in our columns.
Tor the purpose of uniting the Publishers and Book-
sellers of the United States into a more permanent organ-
f
ization, and endowing such organization with greater
executive. power, the Associated BookSELLERs of z
CHICAGO are united in proposing to the AMERICAN
BOOKSELLElts' ASSOCIATION the following outline of a
plan:
ASSOCIATION FOIRMEL).
Form a corporation, or joint-stock association, com-
posed of Publishers and Booksellers. The capital stock
of this association to be one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), divided into ten thousand (10,000) shares of
ten (10) dollars each. None but publishers and book.
sellers to be allowed to subscribe to the stock, and the
certificate of stock to constitute evidence of membership.
The stock to be issued as new members are admitted.
13OO KSELLER DEFIN ED.
A Bookseller is a person, firm, or corporation keeping
for sale publicly a stock of books and stationery amount-
ing to at least one thousa.d. dollars at cost price, and
Apaying taa!es on the same. Country merchants dealing
in general merchandise, who are otherwise qualified as
before specified, and who keep books of tie cost value
of two hundred dollars or more, may be regarded as
booksellers. I’arties who occupy, for the sale of books,
rooms in colleges or other school-buildings, teachers,
and school-boards, are not booksellers.
PUBLISHER DEFINIED.
A Publisher is one who has the qualification of a book-
seller, and who also publishes books.
GOVERNMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The Association to be governed by a Board of Direc-
tors, consisting of twenty-five members, who shall select
from their number five members, residents of New York
City, as an executive committee. This committee, be-
tween the sessions of the Board, to have entire charge of
all the affairs of the Asseciation, and to decide all
questions that may come before it, its decision to be
final, unless reversed at a meeting of the full Board.
Meetings of the full Board to be held at least as often
as once a year, immediately after the annual election.
NEW Al EMBEl{S.
New members may be admitted by a vote of the Exec-
utive Committee, who are to meet weekly to consider
all applications for membership; these applications to be
accompanied by such proofs as shall be prescribed by
the Association. New members not to be entitled to the
benefits of the Association until they have been inem-
bers for at least fifteen days.
GENERAL OFFICIE.
The Association to have its office in the city of New
York, in charge of the Secretary, who shall receive a
salary for his services. A weekly circular to be issued
and sent to all members, which circular shall contain
official notice of changes in discount, names of new
members, etc. A revised list of members to be published
once a year. The expenses of this office, printing, &c.,
would be defrayed by the interest on the capital and a
nominal charge for subscription to the official journal of
the Association.
RIGHTS OF MEMBERS.
Rights of members to cease whenever they cease to
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
275
have the necessary qualifications. Members may be ex-
pelled for cause, but in all cases the Association to buy
at cost the stock certificate of all parties ceasing to be
members.
TRANSFER OF SHARES.
Shares of stock may be transferred between members
of the Association, under such regulations as may be
prescribed, but in no case without the consent of the
board or the Executive Committee. The certificates
could provide for the possible forfeit of rights for any
cause that might work a forfeit.
PUBLISHERS' DISCOUNTS.
Publishers to give to members of the Association, and
to no one else, certain discounts from retail prices, to be
hereafter fixed, but in all cases uniform to members of
the Association. It is intended that each publisher shall
fix this discount on his own publications, subject only to
the restrictions that it shall be regulated by the quantity
purchased; shall be uniform on his entire list, and shall
not be changed without thirty days' previous notice to
be given to the Secretary of the Association.
JOB13ERS' DISCOUNTS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.
No member of the Association to be permitted to sell
the publications of another member at a price that is
not at least twelve and one-half (12%) per cent. advance
on the lowest price at which the publisher supplies the
same to Imembers of the Association.
WEIO GET I) ISCO UNTS. *
Members of the Association are to give discounts to
no one outside the organization.
BOOKS FOR INTRODUCTION.
The giving of discounts to schools for first introduction
to be abolished entirely; also the custom of giving new
books in exchange for those already in use. It is be-
lieved that the giving of any discount in these cases, to-
gether with the vicious custom of granting discounts
to clergymen, professional men, and students, is at the
bottom of most of the evils under which the trade is
laboring.

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years’ experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the following rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there will be no
Jisappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence ; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post-Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. 3d.—Money sent by
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.-The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.-Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. , 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all new publications to own dealers, whless
they order ws not to do so. We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as
published to booksellers, unless specially ordered to the contrary. 8th.—Eavelopes, bearing our address, furnished to
customers free upon application. 9th.-Letters, with full signature and address, should be inclosed with all remittances.
10th.—We inclose bill daily to customers having parcels by Express ; to others we mail bills once a week.

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If, they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form

which I early formed, that ‘Colburn's Arithmetic "is the
most original and by far the most valuable work upon the
subject which has yet appeared. Where it has been used,
and properly used, in a school, I find an intelligence and
readiness in the process of mental arithmetic which I
look for in vain in cases where the instruction has been
conducted upon principles foreign to those which Mr.
Colburn introduces.”—George B. Emerson.

During the month our booksellers have
done a fair business, but it has fallen short
of general expectation. Advices from the
West are very encouraging, business having
decidedly improved during the past few
weeks, and a good fall and holiday trade is
confidently expected by dealers in most of the
western towns. The school-book trade will
probably exceed that of last year. Buyers of
miscellaneous books are still cautious, pre-
ferring rather to buy only for immediate
ants than to stock up. This leaves them
free to purchase the new books as they will
be issued and to prepare liberally for the
holiday trade, and their present caution is
probably not unwise.
Harper & Brothers have published an Indea.
to Harper's Magazine, covering the twenty-five
years since its commencement, or the first
fifty volumes. When we consider that IIa) -
per's was the pioneer of periodical literature
in this country, and introduced to the public
many English and American writers who
have since become famous, the importance of
the index is apparent. Its value is further
enhanced by the fact that the magazine is a
valuable cyclopaedia of discovery and the im-
portant events of a quarter of a century. It
is admirably compiled for convenience, and
the alternate pages are left blank, that it may
be continued for future volumes.
Two good novels have also been published
by the Harpers: St. Simon’s Niece, by Frank
Lee Benedict; and Jean, by Mrs. Newman.
The former is a skillful dramatic story, strong
in plot and exciting in incident, and striking in
its delineations of the intensest passions of the
heart. Mrs. Newman is a new author here, and
is but little known in England. Her novel
Jean is bright and pleasant, with characters
well drawn, and the reader's interest is well
sustained. This house have just issued Glad-
stone's pamphlet, Speeches of Pope Pius IX.,
which it will be remembered appeared anony-
mously in the Quarterly Review for January
last, and is only just published under the
distinguished author's name. In a few days
the three pamphlets, Vatican Decrees, Vati.
canism, and the new one, will be issued in one
volume. The coming books from Harper &
Brothers are a volume of sermons by Talmage,
under the title of Every-Day Religion ; Theis-
two Conception of the World, an essay in oppo-
sition to certain tendencies of modern thought,
by Dr. B. F. Cocker, of the University of
Michigan; Goldsmith’s Select Poems, edited
with notes by W. J. Rolfe, who so ably anno-
tated the plays of Shakespeare ; and a trans-
lation of Plato's Dialogues, by Prof. Henry
Cary, of Oxford. Of new novels we shall
have Hugh Melton, by Katharine King ; and
The Calderwood Secret, from the pen of the
gifted author of A Sack of Gold, Miss Virginia
W. Johnson.
E. J. Hale & Son have just issued a little
volume somewhat in the style of Little Clas-
sics, prettily printed, red edged, and with a
unique cover stamp. It is entitled Hoosier
Mosaics, and contains a series of sketches of
Indiana life, by Maurice Thompson. If in
size and style it resembles the volumes of
Little Classics, it is only appropriate, for
the sketches richly deserve a place beside
those Mr. Johnson has collected with such
admirable taste. They are pathetic and
laughable by turns, marked by elegant de-
scription and unique characterization. Hale
& Son have in press another novel, The Lacy
Diamonds, by the author of Harwood and
The Odd Th'ump. Seldom has an author
so rapidly gained the public favor as a
writer of fiction. Although in a dull season,
the publishers have been obliged to print a
number of editions of the first two novels,
and the forthcoming story is said to be better
than either. The next of the Waverley
novels in Hale's beautiful Thistle Edition
will be Ivanhoe, in two volumes, the thirteenth
and fourteenth of the series. It is unfortu-
nate that this edition is not in the trade, as it
is the best ever made here, combining the

text of the “Author's Edition ” published in
1829 under Sir Walter Scott's supervision,
and the illustrations of the “Abbotsford Edi-
tion,” many of which received the author's
indorsement.
A. J. Bicknell & Co. have published The
American Stairbwilders' Guide, by Lucius D.
Gould, and a useful little pocket volume enti-
tled Instrumental Anºthmetic, prepared to show
the utility of the slide rule, and containing a
large number of arithmetical problems and
the rules for their solution. The author of
the Stairbuilders’ Guide claims that his system
is superior to any heretofore published. The
book contains thirty-two original plates, with
simple but clear explanations, designed for
workmen not skilled in the science of
building. Any practical carpenter, whether
skilled or inexperienced, will find the work of
service. Two other books lately published
by this house deserve especial notice. The
first is an elegant folio volume of Designs for
Monuments, containing 40 plates and 76 de-
signs, giving front and side elevations, sec-
tions, and details. They are drawn to scale,
and may be strictly followed, or modified.
The plates are good specimens of lithography.
The other volume is a Manual of Architecture,
for churches, parsonages, and school-houses.
It is an excellent work for church committees,
as it not only gives designs, plans, and speci-
fications for building, but contains many
valuable suggestions on painting, heating,
lighting, ventilation, and acoustics. The
author is a clergyman of Tennessee, and
seems to be well acquainted with the bad
qualities of a building, and to know how they
may be cheaply corrected. The work is espe-
cially adapted to the wants of small towns in
the West and South
The latest books of interest from D. Apple-
ton & Co. are Darwin’s Insectivorous Plants ;
Life Among the Greeks and Romans, by E.
Guhl and W. Koner; and a new novel from
Christian Reid, entitled A Question of Homor.
Probably no other naturalist has done so
much to incite and encourage patient scien-
tific investigation as Mr. Darwin, who is him-
self a hard-working, conscientious student of
nature. A new book from him is therefore
likely to attract general attention, especially
upon so interesting a subject, and of which
so little is known, namely, insect-devouring
plants. The fact of the existence of such
plants attracted Mr. Darwin's attention fifteen
years ago, and since that time he has been
studying them. He describes ten genera,
comprising many species, some of which are
very curious. Though eminently a scientific
book, the popular reader can understand and
enjoy it. Life Among the Greeks and Romans
is translated by F. Heuffer from the third Ger-
man edition. It is a large octavo volume,
with over five hundred woodcuts, illustrating
the life and customs of the people of ancient
Greece and Rome. A Question of Honor is a
pleasing story of the South since the war.
It is not so good as the Daughter of Bohemia,
but has some well-drawn characters, and the
incidents are not without interest. . Apple-
ton’s announcements for the next few weeks
are confined to school-books and new editions.
Early in August we had from Scribner, Arm-
strong & Co. the personal reminiscences of
O’Keefe, Kelly, and Taylor, in the Bric-à-Brac
series. The reminiscences relate to the latter
part of the last century and the first quarter
of the present, and are mostly of theatrical
people. John O'Keefe was a popular writer
of light comedies, and was probably able to
tell us more interesting stories than he does,
for his is the least valuable portion of the
book. Michael Kelly was a music composer
as well as an actor, and his sketches are genial
and clever. The majority of readers will best
like the anecdotes and stories told by John
Taylor, who was a surgeon, a journalist, and
withal a great lover of the theatre, and was
acquainted with many of the celebrities of
that day. His remininiscences of Mrs. Clive,
Garrick, Lord Chesterfield, Dr. Parr, and
others, are charming. The second volume of
the concise and valuable series of Amcient
History from the Momuments, also published
early in the month, is devoted to Assyria, and
gives the results of Dr. George Smith’s late
researches. One of the most striking things
about these deciphered inscriptions is their
corroboration of scripture narrative, though
there are some discrepancies yet to be recon-
ciled.
Robert Carter & Brothers have a number
of noteworthy books in press. The most im-
portant, perhaps, is the sixth volume of D’Au-
bigné's History of the Reformation. The
work was first published in three volumes, af-
terwards supplemented by two more. In 1863
the author began a new series, calling it A
History of the Reformation in the Time of Calvin,
of which five volumes were published before
his death. He left another volume complete
in MS., and it is the one now announced ; it
deals with the Reformation in Scotland.
Another book of interest now nearly ready is
the Memoirs of the late Rev. Dr. William
Goodell, Missionary at Constantinople, prepared
by his son-in-law, Dr. E. D. G. Prime. Dr.
Goodell’s life was an active and an eventful
one—in boyhood, one of struggles and hard
work, in manhood, one of noble self-sacrifice
and christian devotion to his Master. The
Carters will bring out a new edition of Hugh
Miller’s works, in ten volumes, with his life
by Peter Bayne in two volumes. The first
announced is the Testimony of the Rocks. A
new volume by Miss Warner, in her series of
stories on the Lord’s Prayer, is also announced
under the title of Bread and Oranges, and new
Sunday-school books by Miss Joanna H. Ma-
thews and others.
Henry Holt & Co. have issued in the Leisure
Hour Series, Whiteladies, by Mrs. Oliphant.
The strange title is the name of an old manor-
house, the scene of most of the story. To

save the old house from going into the hands
of a hated relative of the owner, with whose
expected death the story opens, a series of
deceptions are resorted to, leading to remark-
able complications and much trouble. It is
ingenious, and as a story will be liked.
Hurd & Houghton have in press a volume by
A. P. Russell, entitled Library Wotes, in which
the author has gathered many curious and
bright things from his favorite authors. The
book promises to be a most enjoyable one.
T. Whittaker has published a volume of
Discourses by the Rev. Dr. Abner Jackson,
late President of Trinity College, Hartford.
Most of them have been prepared for special
occasions, and all are straightforward and
earnest. In the volume is also an essay on
“Proofs of the Existence of a God.”
BosTON, September 1, 1875.
There is a continued dearth of news in our
literary world. There is perhaps a slight im-
provement in trade generally. School-books
have began to move, and the few Boston houses
that deal largely in them have been quite
busy for a week or two. Our publishers have
been quite idle, and the fall announcements
will be made later than usual. Some new edi-
tions have been printed—some new juveniles
and a few new novels, but not in many years
has there been a month when so few new vol-
umes of general interest were issued as in
the month just closed.
The effects of the movement for reform in
the trade are already being felt in a general
stiffening up in prices on new and standard
books, which are not being quite so badly
slaughtered as formerly. There are a few
houses trying to keep the retail price rule;
but with most of the retail trade, buyers have
but little difficulty in getting a discount, to
the extent of twenty per cent. under the rule
allowing it to large buyers, clergymen, and
teachers. But this is a decided improvement
on the old custom of giving from a fourth to
a half off, and even if the reform does nothing
more for us, we have reason to be thankful
and take courage.
J. R. Osgood & Co. have published the fif-
teenth volume of Little Classics—Minor Poems,
containing gems, the larger portion unfamil-
iar to the general reader, from Longfellow,
Holmes, Lowell, Browning, Wordsworth, Sted-
man, Bryant, and others. The concluding
volume of this successful series, which is now
in press, is entitled Authors, and contains brief
biographies, by the Editor, of the authors rep-
resented in the fifteen preceding volumes.
Emile Gaboriau's novel, File No. 113, recently
issued, is one of the most skillful stories of its
kind ever written. It deals with a mysterious
crime, and the wonderful ingenuity of a detec-
tive in disentangling the complications in
which its detection is involved. Early in the
present month we shall have from the Osgoods
Jules Werne's Adventures of Captain Hatteras;
and two works from the French of M. Viollet-
le-Duc, The Ammals of a Fortress and Discourses
on Architecture. The latter is now translated
into English for the first time, by Mr. Van
Brunt, a well-known architect of Boston. It
is unlike The Story of a House, being more
technical and more for the scientific builder
than the popular reader. The Ammals of a
Fortress is really a history of the art of build-
ing fortifications, put into the form of a nar-
rative of a single fortress, which of course is
an imaginative one. The London Saturday
Review, in speaking of the book, says: “The
name of Viollet-le-Duc is a guaranty for the
excellence of any work which comes from his
pen, but this delightful book has the special
charm due to complete originality in concep-
tion.” In details true to history, the characters
are so vividly drawn, that it requires an effort
to divest them of reality; hence, the book has
all the interest of a romance, besides being
learned and instructive.
Osgood & Co. will also issue this month a
new edition of Bryant's Odyssey in one 12mo
volume. It has been heretofore in two octavo
volumes, and the Rollyn edition in two 16mos,
It will now be put into one volume, uniform
with the one volume Iliad. During the fall,new
editions of the following standard works will
be issued: The Waverley Novels in thirteen
volumes, uniform with the Kensington Thacke-
ray, to be called the “Melrose Edition; ” a
library edition of Dickens in the same form,
in fifteen volumes, to be known as the “Gads-
hill Edition;” and Charles Reade's novels in six
12mo volumes. Each volume is to be illus-
trated. The “Illustrated Library Edition ” of
Thackeray will be completed by the addition
of five volumes of his Miscellanies. The ini-
tial volumes in each of the above new editions
will be issued this month.
Lee & Shepard have nearly ready a new
book of Practice in French Conversation, by
Francis S. Williams, entitled Getting to Paris.
The author believes that only the constant
translation of familiar English phrases into
French will make a student able to speak as
well as translate French. Some years ago he
published an instruction book called English
Into French, in which there is a good selection
of familiar phrases. The book has been large-
ly in use, and its success has encouraged him
to prepare the present volume, which more
fully carries out his plan. The first part is a
series of sixty conversations in English, by the
members of a family while visiting Paris.
The second part contains the same conversa-
tions in French. They comprise the common
every-day phrases, and their usefulness will
be apparent to every practical teacher. This
will be followed by A Quaker Among the Indi-
ans, an account of the author's life among
several tribes for a period of three years.
The book is more of a plea for the red man
than a book of adventure—written, the author
says, not because the incidents he relates are
exciting, but to Iemove some deeply-seated

prejudices against the Indians. It is not ele-
gantly written, but is honest and straightfor-
ward, and will serve a good purpose in help-
ing us to a better acquaintance with our wild
wards of the prairie and forest.
The Great Bonanza, announced last month,
is nearly ready. It is to be a quarto volume,
containing exciting stories of *. in all
quarters of the world, and is contain two
hundred illustrations. Lee & Shepard have
also in the press a narrative of sporting ad-
venture in the waters of British America, en-
titled Adrift Among the Ice-Fields, by Captain
Charles W. Hall. It gives the adventures of
a party of English sportsmen, and very faith-
fully describes life on board a sealing vessel,
the habits of the seals and other northern
animals, and the people who inhabit the inhos-
pitable coasts of British North America. The
volume will be illustrated and will be quite
attractive. Other books in preparation for the
fall by this house are a new novel by Amanda
M. Douglass, entitled Nellie Kinnard's King-
dom, a story somewhat after the style of her
In Trust ; a new volume of poems by the au-
thor of Thurid and other Poems, published a
year ago; and The Lover and other Classics,
compiled from Steele, by the late Mr. J. E.
Babson, the indefatigable searcher after quaint
and forgotten lore. This last volume of
Steele's papers and the two previous volumes,
.The Washing Cap Papers, from Leigh Hunt,
and Fireside Saints, from Douglass Jerrold,
will be issued in neat volumes similar to those
of the Little Classics.
Lee & Shepard have in preparation sev-
eral handsome gift books, of which I may
mention Ballads of Home, edited by Mr. George
M. Baker, and to have forty full-page illustra-
tions. It it will be similar in character and
style to the Ballads of Beauty of last year.
Miss L. B. Humphrey has very finely illus-
trated the beautiful hymn Wearer my God to
Thee, and the verses and illustrations will be
published in an elegant little quarto. Of juve-
miles there are in press, The Winged Lion,
stories of Venice, by Prof. James De Mille,
destined for “The Young Dodge Club” Series;
The Fowl'-Footed Lovers, a volume of stories of
animals, by Frank Albertson, illustrated by
Miss L. B. Humphrey; and Winwood Cliff, by
“Frank Forester.”
Kellogg, entitled Brought to the Front, is in
preparation, also a little quarto volume of
Baby Ballads, with full-page illustrations,
which will come later.
Lockwood, Brooks & Co. have in press
Correspondences of the Bible, by the Rev. John
Worcester.
animals mentioned in the Bible, is the first of
an intended series. The author dwells on the
qualities of character illustrated by animals,
and the strength and appropriateness of such
illustrations. Other books in preparation are
Towards the Straight Gate, a work on practical
christianity, by the author of Pater Mundi,
a manual of Ancient History by Dr. John Lord,
A new book by Elijah.
This volume, which treats of the.
w
a companion volume to his Modern History;
and Fairy Bells and What They Tolled Us, a
collection of fairy tales from different German
authors, translated by Mrs. Lander.
Roberts Brothers will soon publish Louisa
M. Alcott's Eight Cousins, now delighting the
readers of St. Nicholas; Madame Récamier and
Eler Friends, from the French of Madame
Lenormant ; and Joaquin Miller's poem, The
Ship in the Desert, brought out a short time
ago in England. Miller's verses are as full of
beauty as of defects, and however severely he
may be criticised as a poet, there is a uni-
versal desire to read his works, and the book
will be welcome. Madame Récamie, and
Her Friends is announced as the complement
to the previous volume, which contained the
memoirs of Madame Récamier and the corre-
spondence of her friends, while the new vol-
ume contains her friendships and her private
correspondence. For the children, Roberts
Brothers are preparing Nine Little Goslings,
by Susan Coolidge, with illustrations by J. A.
Mitchell ; Mice at Play, by Neil Forest, illus-
trated by Sol Eytinge ; and Jolly Good Times,
by B. Thorne, a story of child-life on a farm.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. have just pub-
lished Goaks and Team's, by Mr. C. B. Lewis,
the humorist of the Detroit Free Press, and
better known to the public as M. Quad. Most
of the matter has been prepared especially for
this book and is liberally illustrated by comic
cuts. The calendar and the weather reports are
exceedingly funny, and we have rarely seen so
much genuine humor in so little space. The
public are well acquainted with the author’s
witty paragraphs, which find their way into
every newspaper in the country, and will
gladly welcome his first book. º
Shepard & Co. have also published Good
Humor, a paper volume of humorous papers,
by Bailey, of the Dambury New8, “M. Quad,”
W. H. H. Murray, Thackeray, Dickens, and
others. This month Shepard & Co. will issue
Ye Vampires, the satire on the stock ex-
change which was published in England
Some months ago, and is said to have reached
a sale there of a hundred thousand copies;
Achsah, the story of New England life by
“Rev. Peter Pennott,” which has been run-
ning in American Homes ; Songs After Sunset,
a volume of poems by Frank N. Lantz; and
Woman amd the Law, by Colonel Russell H.
Conwell, the author of Why and How, and
a well-known lecturer on Woman’s Rights.
In this volume he manfully takes the field
in their behalf, showing how unjustly they
are now treated, and what their status should
be. A little later this house will issue
Thackerayama, giving the fanciful sketches
which the novelist made in his readings; and
new editions of Clodd's Childhood of the World,
considered by many the simplest and best
account of primitive man ever written; and
Driven to Sea, a story of adventure, by Mrs.
George Cupples.
Henry A. Young & Co. are printing new edi-

tions of a number of religious books formerly
published by Gould & Lincoln. Among them
are The Portable Commentary, in two volumes,
the most convenient work of the kind extant ;
Dr. Hackett's books: the Commentary on the
Acts of the Apostles, Illustrations of Scripture,
and Christian Memorials; Bayne's Christian
Life and Essays ; and Mansel's Limits of Re-
ligious Thought—all standard books, having a
steady sale. Young & Co. have added to
their list a number of good Sunday-school
books, and have made up a number of new
series which will commend themselves to
buyers.
William F. Gill & Co. have issued a num-
ber of good books. Their library edition of
Queen Mary, issued early in the month, is very
meat and very cheap. All who have read The
Princess of Thule, will welcome William
Black's latest story, The Marriage of Maira
Fergus, in which several of the characters in
former stories reappear. A leading critic
justly speaks of it “as one of the most charm-
ing pieces of Scotch fiction in many a day.”
Two new books and two new authors are
presented by this house. The first bears the
suggestive title, The New Don Quivote, and is
by Alphonse Daudet. His works are new to
American readers, but if we may believe
what is said of him, they are not likely to re-
main so. Charles Dickens heartily praised
bis writings, and Edmond About thus writes
of him in the London Athenaeum : “He is
the pupil of Dickens His work
consists for the most part of new and charming
stories that resemble bottles of Murano filled
with precious essences Like your
illustrious novelist, his great gift is command
of tears and laughter. He is not only ingenious,
Spirituel, vivacious—he is humane, he feels
for you, and makes you laugh and cry in
company with him.
The other new writer is a novelist of no
less prominence, Hans Wackenhusen, cele-
brated in Germany as the Wilkie Collins of
that country. His works have a sale there
at the present time, excelling, it is said, those
of any other German writer. The story
which is to introduce the writer to American
readers is exciting and dramatic, and is en-
titled For a Woman’s Sake; or, the Mysteries
of the Castle. It is a story sparkling with all
the vivacity of the modern novel, yet as full
of mystery and adventure as any of the
novels of Mrs. Radcliffe. The Satchel Series,
volume second, completes Messrs. Gill & Co’s
list for August. The stories are by Miss
Braddon and Mary Fonblanque, the humor
by the Danbury man and the Detroit Free
Press man, and the poetry by Swinburne and
others.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1, 1875.
Trade is improving slowly, and our book-
sellers confidently expect their share of the
fall business. The summer has added but
few books to the lists of our publishers, and
the announcements of forthcoming volumes
are comparatively light.
The movement to check underselling is be-
ginning to be felt, most of the trade having
signed an agreement to put the retail price
rule into force at this date, with an allowance,
however, for large buyers outside of the trade,
which is likely to prove impracticable and
create dissatisfaction. If the agreement is
strictly held to, one of the results is likely to
be an immediate increase of retail booksellers.
There are a number of old booksellers in the
city who were long ago driven out of the
busiriess, but who now hope to add books to
their present stock of periodicals, stationery,
and notions. Lippin cott & Co., who have here-
tofore believed the movement impracticable,
are now in hearty co-operation with the
others, and are anxious to give it a fair trial.
Porter & Coates have nearly ready their last
summer novel in the International Series, and
it is probably the best in the series, which is
high praise, for in it are to be found some
of the very best of our latest works of
fiction. This last volume is by Annie Keary,
the author of Oldbury, and is entitled Castle
Daly. It is an Irish novel, with the scene
laid on the shores of Lake Corrib, in the west
of Ireland, where the people are least open to
the influence of strangers on their life and
character. The peculiar characteristics of
the people are strongly portrayed and brought
into sharp contrast with those of the Eng-
lish characters which figure in the book.
The story covers the time of the famine
and the rebellion, and is of sufficient tragic
interest to hold the attention of the ordi-
nary lover of sensation novels ; but it is
of far greater worth as a study of Irish
character and habits of life. The first
two French volumes of the Count de Paris’
work on our late war are being translated by
General Tasistro, and will be published short-
ly in one volume. Some of the maps and
plans have been imported, while others are
made here. Porter & Coates are making a
number of pretty juveniles, with attractive
illustrations and chromo covers, which will
be announced in due season.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have published a
book on Chinamania, by Major H. Byng Hall,
entitled The Bric-a-Brac Hunter ; a handsome
large octavo volume for tourists, entitled
Pennsylvania Scenery, containing nearly eighty
illustrations; and a new German Grammar,
by Professor J. Adolph Schmitz, of the Uni-
versity of Wooster, Ohio, and Mr. Hermann J.
Schmitz, of Stamford, Conn. The authors are
practical teachers of the German language,
and have made a practical book. The rules are
very much simplified, and the student is led on
by easy and progressive steps. Lippincott
..] & Co. have made special arrangements with
Hachette & Co., of Paris, to issue here their
admirable French text-books, which comprise
a series of eight Grammars and Exercise

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
IBooks, four French Readers, four books of
Dialogues and Correspondence, the Library of
modern French authors, each volume of which
is edited and explained, and the series of
French Classics, comprising the plays of Ra-
cine, Molière, Corneille, and others, all care-
fully annotated, with critical and biographical
introductions. Among other works in prep-
a ration by this house are another novel from
the German of Ernst Wichert, entitled Being
and Seeming; Allibone’s Prose Quotations;
and a Hand-book of Florida.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have added
to their lists Munday’s Paper Tables, giving
the cost of paper computed and tabulated for
the printer and publisher, which has never
before been introduced to the trade; a new
edition of The Young Marooners on the Florida
Coast, by F. R. Goulding, formerly on the
list of Alfred Martien ; and two of Mrs.
McKeever's books, Woodcliff and Edith’s Minis-
try, also from the list of Martien. The
two volumes are now put with the four
others by the same author published by
this house, and offered in a set. John Darby’s
Two Thousand Years After, with the cheerful
second title “Talks in a Cemetery,” is nearly
ready, also Stuart Mitchell’s Exposition of the
Book of Jonah. The character of these books
has been indicated in previous letters. A
new edition of White's Blements of Theoretical
and Descriptive Astronomy is just ready. The
previous edition was published about two
years ago. Webber's stories of Wild Scenes
and Wild Hunters has been reprinted in good
style, and is offered again to the lovers of
adventure narrative.
T. B. Peterson & Bros. have issued. The
Woman of Honor, from the French of Louis
Enault; The Abbot, in their new twenty-five
cent edition of the Waverley novels; The New
Sisters, being the eighth volume in the hand-
some new edition of Mrs. Southworth's works;
The Life of Davy Crockett, with illustrations
by Henry L. Stephens; and have reprinted an-
other of Reynolds's books, The Opera Dancer ;
or, the Mysteries of Female Life in London. The
public never tire of the graphic descriptions of
this author, and his books have a host of
appreciative readers. The book of the coming
month from the Petersons will be Hester
Howard’s Temptation, by Mrs. C. A. Warfield,
who is one of our strongest writers of fiction.
Her Household of Bouverie is really a wonderful
novel, far surpassing most of the novels of the
day in skillful plot, delineations of character,
and originality. The few critics who have
seen the forthcoming work declare it to be
the most powerful she has yet written. If it
possesses half the excellence claimed for it,
it will deserve immense success.
Messrs. Dickinson & Higham, of London,
will exhibit next year, at the Centennial, a
facsimile copy of the famous Hexaglot Bible,
dow in possession of the Emperor of Russia.
AMERICAN Book TRADE Association.
The following circular was issued to the
trade on the 1st of August:
NEW YORK, August 1, 1875.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted
by this Association at its Niagara Falls Convention,
July 15th : -
“The American Book Trade Association pledges itself
to maintain, and urges upon the entire trade the abso-
lute necessity of maintaining the publishers' advertised
retail prices, in all sales to buyers outside the trade, ex-
cepting that a reduction not to exceed ten per cent. on
medical books, and twenty per cont. on all other classes
of books (including educational), may be allowed to the
following classes only : Public libraries (including circu-
lating and Sunday-school libraries), clergymen and pro-
fessional teachers, professional books to professional
buyers, large buyers—said purchasers buying solely for
their own use, and in the case of exceptions made by the
Publishers' Board of Trade, for publishers only.
“In case the rules of this Association should, under
exceptional circumstances, work injustice to any dealer
in competition with other parties, said dealer may state
his case to the Arbitration Committee, and this commit-
tee shall have power to authorize him to take such
measures as will meet the emergency, after notice has
been given, and the like liberty granted, to other dealers
directly concerned.”
The trade will please take notice that by an additional
resolution the foregoing covenant and provisions are in
force and binding from this date.

§ to prove profitable to all dealers in books. In order
that the trade in Tennessee may reap the benefit accru-
ing from the actions of the American Book Trade Asso-

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
QNLY A BEGINNING.
We would not under-estimate the im-
portance of what has been accomplished
by the meetings of the trade during the
past two years, but we are forced to
confess that, considering their cost in
effort, time and money, the results are
far from satisfactory. The incidental bene-
fits of those meetings, in promoting ac-
quaintance and good-fellowship, are not
to be lightly valued. Something far more
definite, however, was sought by organiz-
ation. It was hoped by the retailers that
the obstacles to their success, of which
the principal was the competition for
their trade by the publishers, could be re-
moved. With this view the co-operation
of the publishers was solicited. Now,
after innumerable local meetings and
, three national conventions, what has been
secured 3 Only a rule that discounts to
parties outside of the trade shall not ex-
ceed twenty per cent. To be sure, the
rule has a further limitation, namely, that
this discount shall be given only to certain
classes; but those classes embrace all the
buyers worth having. When the booksell-
er has sold to the ministers, the teachers,
the libraries, and the “large buyers,” he
has no one left to whom he can look for his
profits but the occasional buyer, who, in
nine bases out of ten, is least able to pay
the full retail price, and is in greatest need
of encouragement. Keeping a book-store,
then, for the benefit of the clergyman and
the large buyer, not being profitable, the
bookseller must still add to his stock,
paper-hangings, pictures, toys, and fancy
goods—articles in which he fears no com-
petition from the manufacturer; and he
is fortunate if he can make enough profit
on these goods to compensate him for that
which he has given away on books.
If it be said that this state of things
belongs to the past, and is now being cor-
rected as the result of the trade meetings,
we reply that, except in a few localities,
the retail trade are but little, if at all, bet-
ter off than they were two years ago.
Neither the competition of the publishers,
nor underselling in the trade, is stopped.
It is only limited by the retail price rule,
which is so liberal in its provisions, that
when its limits are reached, the profits of
the retailer will hardly balance the shrink-
age in the value of the stock left on his
shelves. This is especially true of the
trade in the West, where freights are an
important item. -
We would not forget the difficulties
which have attended the adoption of the
20 per cent. rule. Those difficulties show
how deeply seated were and are the evils
which have been undermining the trade
—not only discouraging the establishment
of book-stores in new towns, but making
it difficult for those in the older towns to
live. Even in the localities where the trade
is improved by the adoption of this rule,
our pleasure in contemplating its benefits
is marred by the fact that it contains a for-
mal recognition of the rights of retail buy-
ers to a discount. Nor would we dis-
courage the work of reform. We wish
only to point out that the work has but just
begun. Those who have settled down in
fancied security, thinking that this retail
price rule will put the trade in a flourish-
ing condition, are mistaken. The trade
will never prosper as it should until it is
conducted upon those safe principles of
business which are recognized in other
trades. Those trades are now laughing at
our lack of shrewdness in putting a price
on our wares, and then making a provision
for breaking it. While we are making the
most of the retail price rule, let us prepare
for another step, and let it be taken as
soon as possible. The platform we adopted
some time ago, No discounts ea:cept to the
trade, is, for publishers and jobbers, the
Only just and fair one.
SUSPENsion OF LEE & SHEPARD.
As we go to press the unwelcome news
reaches us of the suspension of Lee & Shep-
ard, Boston, and of Lee, Shepard & Dilling-
llam, New York. Mr. Dillingham of the latter
house thinks it will be able to pay its credi-
tors in full and will soon resume business.
On hearing of the suspension of the Boston
house, however, he thought it best, for his
own protection and the benefit of all con-
cerned, to make an assignment, which was
accordingly done, Mr. James Miller being
appointed Assignee. The troubles of the Bos-
ton firm are stated to be owing to their heavy
losses in the fire and the continued depression
in business.
H. De Silver & Co., Philadelphia, are intro-
ducing a “Centennial Medal Charm,” which is
very neatly designed, and will serve the pur-
pose of a charm, a bouquet-holder, or a brooch.
It is well made, being plated with gold or sil-
ver, and is worth the attention of the trade.

RREss pom MENTs on the Book TRADE.
gº - gº - -
- - ------- * * sº-º- wººs
(From the Boston Daily Advertiser, Aug. 21st.)
In our account of the recent convention of
booksellers at Niagara Falls, we endeavored
to state plainly that, while the discussions in
that body touched upon the causes of the
present backward condition of the book
trade, the action taken only covered half of
the evil. A line was to be drawn more
sharply between the trade and privileged
buyers on the one hand, and the general pub-
lic, consisting of cousins and neighbors of the
privileged buyers, on the other. But when a
resolution was introduced which sought to
probe the matter more deeply, it was violently
attacked, and the convention asked to take
its cue from certain outside persons not
members—not even, we may say, on the anxi-
ous seat, but to whom the chairman of the
convention was beckoning to come inside and
enjoy the meeting. There is something in-
expressibly funny in the picture of these
innocent booksellers bewailing the condition
of the American book trade, and asking the
English importing houses to come in and
weep with them. We see no way to state
the matter impressively but to go back to an-
tiquity, and, if we cannot find a fable in AEsop,
to manufacture one after this fashion:
The hens in a certain barn-yard once came
together to consider the reason why there
were so few chickens; they themselves were
growing old, and though they did their best
to lay eggs, that seemed to be the end of it.
It was known that some of the hens were
wont to peck at the eggs they found, for the
sake of getting the shell, and it was proposed
to put a stop to this proceeding, when one of
the hens asked whether eggs were not some-
times lost in other ways; but the question
was objected to, lest it might give offense to
certain weasels that were greatly interested
in having chickens raised, and were, in fact,
in the barn-yard at this moment, and think-
ing of joining the convention.
Now, the resolution of the booksellers’ con-
vention was distinctly aimed at fraudulent
importations, and the complaint which it cov-
ered was that, in the competition between
American books and English books, the
former were placed at a disadvantage by well-
known practices of great extent which al-
lowed English books to be put upon the
market at scarcely more than their value as
waste-paper. There are respectable and im-
portant importing houses in our cities that
do not rest their business on this foundation,
and they join heartily the movement which
found expression in the resolution. It is ab-
surd to shelve a resolution aimed at dishonest
importing for fear that honest importers will
take offense; the inference follows that the
sensitive importers are pretty well acquainted
with the probable effect should the resolution
have been thoroughly operative.
As a matter of fact, the American book pub-
lishing trade to-day is engaged in an uneven
contest with the English trade. In the de-
partment of books for children it has been
beaten ; in cheap religious publications it has
really been beaten, but the subsidies given to
religious publication societies conceal the de-
feat. In school-books it holds its own, as also
in professional books, since the special needs
of the country in this direction make it diffi-
cult for English book-makers to hit the mark
as regards books for this country, and the
network of influences in favor of home school-
books is too extensive to be broken through.
In magazines, for a somewhat similar reason,
there is no great competition between the Eng-
lish and American, except in the case of one
or two half-English, half-American works.
But the recent growth of magazine literature
and the concentration of publishing enter-
prise in this form point to the fact that gen-
eral publication in book form is not profita-
ble. The growth of the subscription busi-
ness, we think, indicates the same fact, and
the fact is plain enough to the publisher, and
for that matter to the author who finds the
publisher slow to entertain his book, but
ready to consider the publication of chapters
from it in his magazine. s
It never can be said too emphatically that
author, publisher, book manufacturer, and
bookseller in this country have one common
interest. Together they agree to promote
the literature of the country; but let one
party to this agreement be led astray by an
apparent short cut to personal success, and it
Soon comes out that he has injured the others
and lost his own advantage. In this case the
bookselling class has been captivated by the
brilliant opportunity of getting their books
dog-cheap from England direct, or by the
way of Canada, invoiced by special arrange-
ment; as a result, the book publisher finds
his own stock go off slowly, he discontinues
giving orders to the printer and binder, and
the author finds him sitting amongst his
heavy-looking stereotype plates with a rueful
countenance, like Marius amidst the ruins of
Carthage.
(From the Christian Observer, Louisville, Ky.)
The retail book-store is a great means of
education and refinement. By a book-store
we do not mean a shop were story papers
and paper-covered novels, with a few school-
books, form the stock in trade. A teacher
in an inland town was referring to such a
store when he said that he did not want a
book-store there ; that he would much
rather that his students should be subjected
to the annoyance and delay of sending
away for their books than have a book-
store in the place. Such a place is a centre
of demoralization. By a book-store we mean
the store where the best of all the new pub-
lications are received from time to time and
kept for sale in the sight of the people. The
3 Io
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UNDE.
OBSERVER publishes the titles and descrip-
tions of the sizes of the new books that
appear, with our estimates of their value;
yet how many of our readers gather any
definite idea of the nature of the volumes 2
But the well supplied book-store brings the
community at once into contact with the last
works of genius, the latest discoveries of
science, and investigations of history. The
sight and the handling of the books is itself
an education. Yet the book-store is the last
to be established in any community. The
grocery, the saloon, the drygoods store, the
tin-shop, the drug store, the harness-maker’s,
the wagon-maker's, and many others, precede
it. This is not because ours is not a reading
people, for the general circulation of news-
papers forbids the idea; nor because they do
not buy books, for the vast host of book
agents and canvassers condemns the supposi-
tion. The reason why our towns and villages
are deprived of the advantages of the book-
store is the customs which have hitherto pre-
vailed in the book trade. The discount allow
ed by the publishers to the retail bookseller
has generally been from thirty to forty per
cent; and the discount allowed to teachers,
professional men, libraries, and large buyers,
has varied from fifteen to more than thirty
per cent. The retail bookseller is thus robbed
of all the better classes of his customers.
Measures are in progress to reform this cus-
tom so injurious to the intelligence of the
people. The largest discount to those out-
side of the trade was fixed by a convention
of publishers and booksellers, held last month,
at fifteen per cent. With the reduction of
discount, except to retailers, we trust the
prices of books to the general public will be
reduced, and that well filled book-stores will
be established in all the towns and larger
villages throughout the country:

John P. Hunt, Philadelphia, has published
a new illustrated Pocket Guide and Street
Directory of that city, which will be of great
service to visitors during the coming year. It
contains descriptions and illustrations of Fair-
mount Park, the Centennial buildings, and
other objects of interest, and also a fine map
of the city, worth much more than the price
of the guide. The map is also mounted on
rollers and sold separately.
W. F. Draper, Andover, Mass., has reduced
the prices of Winer's Grammar of the Idiom of
the We?0 Testament, and Buttman’s Gramma”
of the New Testament Greek—the former from
$5.00 to $4.00, the latter form $3.00 to $2.75.
Eli Perkins says of his new book : “The lit-
erary part may not be very nice, but the cover
is pretty and the pictures are lifelike.” There
is a good deal of dry humor in the book, and
the public, who are well acquainted with Eli's
witty sayings, will enjoy it.
J. Henry Symonds, Boston, has published a
very useful little work in its way, namely,
The Lady's Book of Knitting and Ch'ochet, con-
taining explicit directions for making a hun-
dred or more new designs. None of them are
difficult, and they have all been tested by an
expert.
Baker, Davis & Co., the successors of T. Ell-

per page, instead of two, like the Directory
for this year.
Loring, of Boston, has in press a new juve-
nile by Virginia Townsend, entitled Margery
Reith, also two new books by Alger, Jack's
Ward, and Herbert Carter's Legacy. The for-
mer will be the second volume of the Brave and
Bold Series, the latter the eighth of the Luck
and Pluck books.
A petition in bankruptcy has been filled by

while their assets are $92,652.41, exclusive of
some real estate in Tarrytown, the value of
which is not stated.
We have received from A. Williams & Co.,
Boston, a little pamphlet on Colonel William
Prescott, by Francis J. Parker. It is written
to prove that Colonel Prescott was in com-
mand at the battle of Bunker Hill. The au-
thor brings forward some good contemporane-
ous evidence in support of his views.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers announce, in their
advertisement on last page of this number,
that they have now in press, and will publish
on September 18th, a new novel by the popu-
lar southern authoress, Mrs. C. A. Warfield, en-
titled Hester IIoward's Temptation. The writer
has been engaged upon the work for the past
eighteen months, and all critics who have read
it pronounce it superior to The Household of
Bouverie.
About eighteen months ago, the Hon. E. J.
M. Hale proposed to give to Haverhill, Mass.,

quired amount has been raised, the building
erected, and the library will soon be opened
with about 20,000 volumes. Mr. Edward
Capen, for many years connected with the
Boston Public Library, has been appointed
librarian.

Minzer & Hunter, Cincinnati, have published
Merchants' Shipping and Postal Guide for Ohio,
containing an alphabetical list of all the cities
and towns in the state, with the means of
reaching them by rail or steamboat, or of com-
municating with them by express and tele-
graph. A folding Township, County, and
Railway Map of the State is added, and the
work is very complete and reliable. e
Wilson, Hinkle & Co. have published a
School History of England, by M. E. Thalhei-
mer, which is deserving of notice. It is very
full without being prolix, explicit and clear
without being dry, and the whole is admirably
arranged for school use. Each chapter is re-
capitulated, and each part is supplied with
questions for review. It is well illustrated,
and there are a number of excellent maps.
A most useful book for young teachers is
The Teacher’s Hand-book, just published by
A. S. Barnes & Co. It is written by William F,
Phelps, Principal of the State Normal School
of Minnesota, at Winona, a practical teacher
of large and varied experience, and well qual-
ified for the task of preparing such a work.
The general principles of the science of teach-
ing are fully discussed, and detailed instruc-
tions for carrying them out in the school-room
are given.
The first volume of the Rev. Lyman Abbott's
Commentary on the New Testament, published
by A. S. Barnes & Co., is receiving much de-
served praise. While it is scholarly to an
eminent degree, it avoids all learned techni-
calities, and wherever the original Greek is
referred to, or quotations are introduced from
other languages, they are translated. It is
comprehensive and fair, giving the views of
authors that disagree, so impartially, that no
Protestant sect can find fault.
Jansen, McClurg & Co., Chicago, have pub-
lished a work which deserves the notice of
those interested in our schools. It is very
appropriately entitled A Primer of Political
Economy, for it is excellently adapted for be-
ginners, and is written and arranged in such a
manner that it may be conveniently used as a
text-book in our common schools. The funda-
mental principles are laid down in concise
propositions and definitions, which are ex-
plained at length, and especial prominence is
given to the more practical applications of
the science.
A very curious book is The Mysteries of the
Head and the Heart Eaglained, including, as
the title-page tells us, an improved system
of Phrenology, a new theory of the emotions,
and an explanation of the mysteries of Mes-
merism, Trance, Mind-Reading, and the Spirit
Delusion. It is written by Mr. J. S. Grimes,
for many years a lecturer on Phrenology,
and evidently an enthusiastic investigator of
the mysteries of the mind. Although there
are but few who will accept all the theories
of the writer, there is much information to be
derived from the book It is published by
W. B. Keen, Cooke & Co., Chicago.
Jansen, McClurg & Co., Chicago, have pub-
lished, under the title of A Summer in Worway,
a handsome octavo volume, by John Dean
Caton, ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Illinois. The writer traveled through
Norway with his eyes open, and has shown
bis ability to describe the many interesting
things to be seen there. The habits and in-
dustries of the people, their prominent char-
acteristics, the nature and resources of the
country, its animals, and many things that are
apt to escape the ordinary tourist, are treated
in a pleasing style.
S. C. Griggs & Co., Chicago, have published
a volume on Norse Mythology, by Professor
R. B. Anderson, of the University of Wiscon-
sin, the author of America not Discovered by
Columbus. Though an important subject for
investigation and study—for in this Mythology
of the Northmen lies concealed much of the
his:ory and religion of our ancestors—compar-
atively few books have been written on the
subject. The author claims for this work
that it is the first complete and systematic
presentation of the Norse Mythology in the
English language. It is supplied with a con-
venient index and a very full vocabulary.
E. J. Hale & Son have issued ſºob Roy and
Ivanhoe, each in two volumes, in their beauti-
ful edition known as the “Thistle Edition” of
Sir Walter Scott’s novels. This is the finest
American edition of the Waverley novels ever
made, combining the excellence of the old
“Abbotsford Edition” and the “Author's
Edition ” of 1829, conforming to the text of
the latter, which was published under the over-
sight of the distinguished author, and con-
taining the numerous illustrations of the for-
mer. Many of the illustrations were made
under the direction of the author, and have
been carefully reproduced by the present pub-
lishers. The novels are printed each in two
volumes, in clear bold type, on fine tinted
paper, and the binding is neat and tasteful, as
well as rich. To a lover of elegant books it
is a pleasure to handle these volumes. This
edition is not in the trade, as it ought to be.
It will be completed in forty-eight volumes, of
which two will be published each month dur-
ing the fall and winter.

A Paris correspondent of the London Daily

Music Notes
Marchetti, the author of Ruby Blas, is wri:
ting a new opera to be called Don Giovanni
d’Austria. º
Lee & Walker have published The Memorial
March and the Centennial March, both by E.
Mack, the former an essay composition of some
merit, the latter a simple but effective arrange-
ment of patriotic airs. From this house we
have also the Chasseur's Grand March, by
Mack, a spirited composition for more advan-
ced players. •
A. S. Barnes & Co. have published a School
Hymn and Tune Book, for devotional exercises,
prepared by J. D. Bartley. It is in handy form
and contains a great variety of hymns with
appropriate tunes, conveniently, classified:
Much of the music is new, though many old

Darly, Hugh A. Clarke, and others.

REForM IN THE GERMAN PAPER TRADE.
The German paper trade journal, the Cem-
tralblatt für die Deutsche Papierfabrikation,
proposes the following :
1. Paper-makers to give up supplying
private customers, and deal only with whole-
sale men on monthly settlements, exceptions
being allowed for publishers, the govern-
ment, newspapers, envelope makers, and col-
ored paper and paper-bag makers, i. e., for
consumers who take up to not less than
£5,000 a year.
2. Dealers in paper to conduct business in
a less slipshod manner, and observe the fol-
lowing principles of trade: Dealers must en-
deavor to acquire a special trade, since the
paper trade has branches which are perfectly
distinct. Dealers who confine themselves to
paper must further limit themselves to the
supply of particular classes of paper, i. e., to
the supply of printers, bookbinders, litho-
graphers, &c., separately. Houses already
occupied wholesale and retail, must decide to
give up one or the other. All dealers should
join a union similar to that of Switzerland, in
order to treat in corporate fashion with the
associated paper-makers. Dealers should be
unanimous in abstaining to purchase from
mill-owners who supply private customers.

- THE jStationery MARKET,
Business is fair, though transactions are marked by caution, both on the part of buyers and sellers, the former
not to overstock, the latter in regard to credits. Hence, what business is done is on a safe basis, and attended with:
as little risk as possible.
Prices hold steadily, and, with the exception of a few lines of holiday goods, in which little or nothing has yet
been done, the market is not over full.

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form

TO ADVERTIs ERs.
We call the attention of the business public to the -
HOME JOURNAL OF HEALTH,
As the best advertising medium they can have to directly reach families and English readers in every community.
Every person is interested in their own health or the health of some friend, and each number of the Journal
will contain valuable matter regarding that subject, as well as articles of great interest to the general publig. The
information contained in a journal of this kind causes it to be preserved by every one for present and future refer-
ence, and an advertisement inserted now is liable to be read for years to come.
Subscriptions are being received daily from all parts of the world. Even as far distant as Japan, the Home
.JOURNAL OF HEALTH is being read. This rapidly increasing circulation is the result of our extensive º;
in leading newspapers and periodicals, and the establishing of agencies in the towns and cities of the Unite
States and Canada, and a main agency in London, for Europe, to obtain subscribers to the BIOME JOURNAL OF
º We find that when it is presented to a community, its value and cheapness brings it into popular favor

Our advertising rates are very low for so valuable a medium.

THE Rook MARKET
NEW YORK, October 1, 1875.
There has been a decided improvement in
business during the month, especially with
our jobbing houses. Orders have not been
large, but have come in steadily, and the
prospects are fair for a much heavier trade
than that of last fall. Dealers continue to
buy with much caution, and any increase in
their orders indicates a corresponding in-
crease in the demand made by the public.
Reports from the West are very encouraging,
and, despite the depression in manufactur-
ing interests in the Eastern States, the book
trade of that section is more hopeful than
for a long time past. The recent failures
have only tended to make the trade more
careful, and if they in any measure serve to
correct the recklessness of the past, they will
lave a wholesome influence. A second book
fair is announced to commence October 21st.
The wisdom of holding another fair this fall
is a matter for reasonable doubt; but as the
Committee on Fairs of the American Book
Trade Association have decided to hold one,
the trade will no doubt be well represented.
But little preparation for the holidays has
yet been made. The fine books made especi-
ally for the season will be few, but there will
be no lack of fine editions of the poets and
Standard books, and in a holiday season,
When money is scarce, they are sure to re-
ceive attention and to be purchased largely
for gifts.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have just published
two noteworthy books of travel: The Abode of
Snow, being observations on a tour from Chi-
nese Thibet to the Indian Caucasus, through
the upper valleys of the Himalaya, by An-
drew Wilson; and Travels in Portugal. The
papers making up The Abode of Snow origin-
ally appeared in Blackwood's Magazine, but
they have been entirely recast, and some ad-
ditions have been made. The author made
the journey he describes almost entirely
alone, and the volume is a most interesting
one. In his preface he says he has sought to
enable those who have never visited the
grand mountains of Central Asia, to realize
what they are—“what scenes of beauty and
grandeur they present—what is the charac-
ter of the simple people who live among
them—and what are the incidents a traveler
meets with, his means of conveyance, and his
mode of life. In attempting this I have to
struggle with what a kindly critic has called
the “utterly unknown,” and have been com-
pelled as a necessary part of the enterprise to
make my pages bristle with names and other
words which are quite unfamiliar, if, indeed,
for the most part not entirely new to the
ordinary English reader—the very individual
whose interest I want to engage. It has been
also necessary to introduce some details of
physical science, ethnology, archaeology, and
history; but these have been subordinated to
the general aim of producing an intelligible
idea of the region described.” The volume
on Portugal is by John Latouche, and was
first published in the New Quarterly Magazine,
as Notes of Travel in Portugal. The author
has much to say, in an entertaining, off-hand
manner, concerning the country and the peo-
ple ; and as he followed the by-ways rather
than the beaten paths of the tourist, there is
much in his volume not to be found in other
books on Portugal. It is embellished with
photographic illustrations.
The other recent books from the Putnams
are : The Border-Lands of Insanity, by Andrew
Winter, M.D.; A Manual of Metallurgy, by
Prof. W. H. Greenwood, in the Advanced
Science Series ; the second volume of Hart’s
German Classics, being Schiller's Die Piccolo-
mini, with a very full historical introduction,
a commentary and notes; and a new edition
of Mrs. Field’s Home Sketches in France, which
has passed through two editions and will still
find many buyers. The title of The Border-
Lands of Insanity is given to a volume contain-
ing a paper with that title, and other papers
of like character, on “Non-Restraint in the
Treatment of the Insane,” “The Training of
338
G UIDE.
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’
Imbecile Children,” “ Eccentricities of the
Mentally Afflicted,” “Brain Enigmas,” “Hal-
lucinations and Dreams,” and “ Suicide.”
The author says he has endeavored to show
how fine is the line that separates sanity from
insanity, and how large is the group dwelling
in the neutral ground. He cautions watch-
fulness, and points out the treatment for those
who have a tendency to insanity. He does
not believe in putting the slightly affected
and the convalescent into an asylum, but says
they should be surrounded by same persons.
Among forthcoming books from this house
are Notes of Travel in Africa, by the late Mr.
C. J. Andersson, prepared from his journal
and notes since his death. The material was
very full, and the preparation of the volume
was but a work of selection and arrangement.
Mr. Anderson was the author of Lºke Ngami,
and the larger work, Okavango River, both of
which volumes were received with great
favor. Other books announced for the near
future are The Tºta;idermist's Manual, by
T. Brown; Pure Mathematics, by Prof. Edward
Atkins; and Building Construction, by R. Scott
Burn, in the Advanced Science Series; several
volumes of the Elementary Science Series, and
new editions of Frothingham’s Stories from
the Lips of the Teacher and Stories of the Patri-
archs, both of which have been out of print
for some years. The Library Atlas, just issued,
is a handy Octavo containing a hundred maps,
ancient and modern, astronomical, etc., with
descriptive letterpress of modern, historical,
and classical geography, by able scholars,
forming a useful encyclopaedia of geograph-
ical knowledge. The publishers will issue
portions of the Atlas separately, for those stu-
dents who do not wish the complete work.
Two little books are in press for the holidays,
The Realm of the Ice-King ; and The History of
My Friends, Stories of Animals, by Emile
Achard. Both will be prettily illustrated.
Harper & Brothers have added but few new
books to their list, and their announcements
for the next few weeks are very light. Their
latest books are the three pamphlets of Glad-
stone, in one volume, under the title of Rome
and the Wewest Fashions in Religion ; Profes-
sor Cocker's essay on The Theistic Conception
of the World, an able work written to oppose
what the author considers the dangerous ten-
dencies of modern thought ; and The Calder-
wood Secret, a new novel from the pen of Vir-
ginia W. Johnson, author of The Sack of Gold
and Joseph the Jew. The reputation of the
last-named novels is sufficient to recommend
the new one. The author arranges her inci-
dents with admirable skill, and her charac-
ters are strikingly drawn. Another of her
novels, The Catskill Fairies, is in press, and
will be issued immediately. Two novels from
Katharine King are also in press, and several
anonymous novels. The Harpers also an-
nounce as nearly ready a volume of sermons
delivered in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, to be
issued under the title of Every-Day Religion ;
the Life of the Reverend John Todd, compiled by
John E. Todd ; and a unique work on Figura-
tive Language, with the title of Might and
Mirth of Literature, by John Walker Vilant
Macbeth. An idea of the scope and nature of
the work may be had from the descriptive
title which appears in our Announcements on
anothel; page. -
Hurd & Houghton have given us a charm-
ing volume for bookish people, under the title
of Library Notes, by A. P. Russell, who in an
easy, rambling sort of way discourses upon
all sorts of subjects grouped around a central
idea which is used for a chapter heading.
The author has been a wide and thoughtful
reader, and the pages of his book are full of
apt illustrations and entertaining anecdotes
from his favorite writers He glides from
one topic to another as easily and uncon-
sciously as an after-dinner conversation, and
the book is enjoyable from beginning to end,
but so novel in its character that it is almost
indescribable. Hurd & Houghton announce
a reissue of The Fºrmilia?: Letters of John
Adums to his Wife, During the IRevolution, with
a memoir of Mrs. Adams, prepared by Charles
Francis Adams. The book has been publish-
ed before, but it has sufficient value to war-
rant its being reprinted at this time, and will
no doubt be favorably received. This edition
will contain letters not before published, and
is enriched with notes.
From Scribner, Armstrong & Co. we have a
new volume of “Ancient History from the
Monuments,” Vol. III., on Persia, by W. S.
W. Vaux ; the fifth volume of the Speaker's
Commentary, comprising Isaiah, Jeremiah, and
Lamentations; a new and cheaper edition of
Mary Mapes Dodge's Rhymes and Jingles; and
an entertaining volunfe. by Mr. E. S. Nadal,
on London Social Life. The author was for
some time counected with our embassy in
England, and his official position gave him an
entrée to society which all Americans do not
enjoy. Being a journalist, and of course an
observing critic, he improved his opportuni-
ties to make a comparison between the
customs and manners of English Social life
and our own, and the dissimilarities are
striking enough to be entertaining. The new
Bric-à-Brac volume, which is nearly ready, is
devoted to Lamb, Hazlitt, and others, and is to
contain portraits of Elia, Lady Blessington,
and others mentioned in the volume, which
is one of the most interesting of the series.
It will be followed by the Reminiscences of
Constable and Gillies, the former Sir Walter
Scott's publisher, who was able to tell some
interesting stories. Dr. Holland's Sevenoaks
is announced for this month; and later in the
season Babylonia, a new volume of explora-
tions by George Smith. There will also be
issued new editions of Headley's Washington.
and his Generals, Frank R. Stockton's Round-
about Rambles, and other books. -
One of the most valuable and interesting
books of the season is issued by Baker, Pratt
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
339
& Co., who for a long time have not been
known to the trade as publishers. The new
volume is entitled Four Thousand Miles of
African Trav, l, and is written by Mr. Alvan
S. Southworth, Secretary of the American
Geographical Society. Although the terri-
tory traversed by Mr. Southworth, his course
being up the Nile, through Egypt and Sou-
dan, has been described before, his descrip-
tions are full of interest, even to those fami-
liar with other books of African travei. A
new interest is given to the volume by the
discussions on the sources of the Nile, the
social condition of Egypt, the resources of
the country, and the slave trade. What he
has to say upon the latter subject will attract
much attention. He shows that it has so de-
populated the country as to greatly interfere
with travel, and is an important impediment
to the civilization of the people. As an il-
lustration of the evils of the trade, he gives
the history of a kidnapped girl, whom he
purchased and liberazed, and whose freedom
he asks the authorities of the United States
to guarantee.
Among the new issues of Dodd & Mead
are Columbus, being Vol. X. in J. S. C.
Abbott’s Pioneer and Patriot Series; a new
edition, at a reduced price, or Ch'uden’s Com-
densed Concordance, formerly on the list of
Gould & Lincoln ; and the Rev. E. P. Roe's
new novel, From Jest to Éarnest, which is a
story of a frivolous city girl, who marries a
divine and becomes a serious, christian
woman. To many, the preface will be the
most interesting portion of the book. In it
the author replies to some of those who have
severely criticised his novel-writing. He
argues that, as young people will read fiction,
somebody should give them that which is
wholesome and free from corrupting influ-
€In CeS.
From E. P. Dutton & Co. we have some of
the prettiest gift books for children we have
yet seen. Frisk and His Flock is a charming
story, by Mrs. D. P. Sanford, the author of
the elegant Pussy Tip-Toes Family. It is
published in a sumptuous little quarto, su-
perbly printed and illustrated, and in a hand-
Some binding. No present to a boy or girl
who can read can be more appropriate or ac-
ceptable. The Haven Children, by Emilie
Foster, is also a good story, printed very fine-
ly in a large square 16mo, with a number of
pretty illustrations.
Robert Carter & Bros. have pºinted a new
edition of Hugh Miller's Testimony of the
Rocks, which is considered by many the best
of his works, and to which is attached a sad
interest, from its connection with his untime-
ly death. Carter and Bros. have also issued
Vol. VI. of D'Aubigné’s History of the Refor-
mation, comprising Scotland, Switzerland;
and Geneva. The author had planned twelve
volumes, but died in 1872, when but ten had
been published, comprised in the five pre-
vious volumes of this edition. The present
*
volume is made from a portion of the manu-
scripts which he left, and which he designed
for Vol. XI. Two additional volumes will
follow this.
BosToN, Sept. 29, 1875.
Business opened early in the month very
promisingly ; then came the failure of Lee &
Shepard, which absorbed general attention,
and the active preparations of the publishers
were for a time almost entirely suspended.
The Committee of Investigation appointed by
the creditors have not yet reported, but the
excitement has subsided and little is said
about the failure, except now and then a word
of sympathy for the unfortunate house. The
school-book trade has been very good, but in
miscellaneous books the jobbing business has
been light, and the local retail trade still
lighter, being almost entirely monopolized by
the cheap booksellers. Our publishers are
not so busy as they generally are at this
season, and announcements continue to be
light. But few books will be made especially
for Christmas, and the trade will mainly rely
upon the fine editions of the standard authors.
The juvenile book publishers will not be
behind previous years in their offerings of
pretty new books for the children. A. F.
Graves is putting into sets some attractive
little volumes. With How to be a Lady and
Ilow to be a Man, formerly published by
Gould & Lincoln, he has put Choice Stormes
for Boys, Choice Stories for Girls, and Choice
Stories for Young Folks, making a very pretty
set of books which are sure to please youth-
ful readers. Mr. Graves has reprinted from
the English editions four larger volumes for
the “Eddie Ellerslie Series,” which afford
pleasant reading for older children. “The
Life Story Series” is also worthy of mention,
consisting of three books by the Rev. Harvey
Newcomb, and a volume of Bible Stories.
Other volumes are in preparation.
D. Lothrop & Co. offer a very pretty and
very cheap little quarto volume under the
title of Sunshºne for Bahy-Land, printed on
fine paper and handsomely bound. It con-
tains about four hundred pages and more
than a hundred appropriate illustrations, the
reading matter consisting of sketches, stories
of animals, and selections well calculated to
please the little folks. Lothrop & Co.'s list
of new books comprises almost every variety
of style, size, and price, and they are rapidly
printing new books by Pansy, Faye Hunting-
don, Laurie Loring, and other popular writers
for the young. The current number of the
new magazine, Wide Awake, is the best yet
issued.
Henry A. Young & Co. and Henry Hoyt are
also busy with their issues of new juveniles.
The latter publisher has just ready the Select
Notes on the International Lessons for 1876, with
an interleaved edition for teachers; and the
International Question-Book for 1876, prepared

by the same author, the Rev. F. N. Peloubet.
It is in three grades: Number One for adults,
Number Two for the older children, Number
Three for the younger. Mr. Hoyt has nearly
ready a larger volume, which will interest a
large number of readers. It is prepared by
the Rev. P. C. Headley, and entitled Evangel-
28ts ºn the Church. It contains an account of
the lives of leading Evangelists, including
some now printed for the first time. The sub-
jects the sketches are not confined to any
denomination, but are taken from all the Prot-
estant churches. Among the names we find
those of Moody and Sankey, the revivalists;
Mr. Wright, the converted London thief; the
Rev. J. Summerfield, the boy Evangelist; the
Rev. Daniel Baker, who has been called the
Whitfield of the South ; and the late Prof.
C. G. Finney, of Oberlin College. The volume
is illustrated with sixteen portraits on steel
and wood, engraved mainly from photographs.
Of books of more general interest, Osgood
& Co's announcements are perhaps the
most important. Early in the month they
issued Viollet-le-Duc's Ammals of a Fortress,
which was fully noticed in our last. It is an
entertaining work, illustrating the progress
made in the art of defensive warfare, as ap-
plied to fortifications from ancient times to
the present. It is in the style of a story of a
single fortification; which, for convenience, is
located in France; but the incidents, and man-
ner of construction and use, are taken from
all countries. The supposed fortification pass-
ed through seven sieges, the first in the time
of the Druids, and the last in 1814, by an army
of Bohemians. Though written to instruct
the reader in the history of this particular
art, it has all the interest of a romance to the
general reader, who will find no difficulty in
following the author, as technical terms are
all explained and the subject is illustrated by
cuts. The other late issues from Osgood &
Co. are mostly new editions, but are of inter-
est to the trade. They include a one volume
edition of Bryant’s Homer’s Odyssey, known
as the Roslyn Edition, and an excellent one
for the library; two volumes of the new Mel-
rose Waverley, two volumes in the new Gads-
hill Dickens, Pickwick and David Coppérfield;
and two volumes in the new Library Edition
of Charles Reade’s works.
Within the next few weeks we shall have
from Osgood & Co. additional volumes in
these editions, and several volumes of Haw-
thorne's works, issued in the style and at the
price of the Little Classics. The initial vol-
ume will be The Scarlet Letter, which will be
rapidly followed by the others. A new vol.
ume from Viollet-le-Duc, with the title of
Discourses upon Architecture, is in press, also
a new volume from Bret Harte; one from
Bayard Taylor; one from Whittier; and a
volume on the Victoriam Poets, by E. C. Sted-
man. Bret Harte's book will be entitled
Tales of the Argonauts, and Other Stories, and
will include the “Episode of Fiddletown”
and other sketches not before collected. No
collection of Bayard Taylor's poems has been
made since 1862, and there is abundant ma-
terial for a new volume. Whittier's volume
is a collection of poems, under the title of
Songs of Three Centuries, and is somewhat
similar in style to Emerson’s Parmassus. The
two volumes will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity to compare the tastes of our two pop-
ular poets. The Victorian Poets, by Mr.
Stedman, is a work that has been much
needed by every student of English litera-
ture. Most of the essays have appeared in
Scribner's and the Atlantic Monthly, and have
been much praised. They embrace critical
notices of the minor as well as the leading
poets of the present century, and the volume
is supplied with a very full index and notes.
W. R. Greg's volume, Rocks Ahead, or, The
Warmings of Cassandra, which we have before
noticed, is printing ; also Buffets, a novel by
Charles H. Doe, editor of the Worcester Ga-
2ette, a contributor to the old Northern Lights
magazine, and an occasional writer for the
later monthlies. One of the new ventures of
the season is the “Vest Pocket Series,” sug-
gested by the popularity of the Little Classics.
They are intended to comprise our most pop-
ular poems and essays, printed in little pocket
volumes with flexible covers, in neat style,
but at a low price. The first volume, already
issued, is Whittier’s Snow-Bound. This is to
be followed immediately by Longfellow’s
Evangelène, and two volumes of essays by
Emerson. 3.
Roberts Bros.” list of new and forthcoming
books is especially worthy of notice. The two
last published are Louisa M. Alcott's Eight
Cousins, and Madame Récamier and Her Friends,
from the French of Madame Lenormant. The
volume is chiefly made up of letters of Ma-
dame Récamier and the members of the bril-
liant circle of which she was the centre, in-
cluding De Tocqueville, Camille Jordan, Bal-
lanche, and others. The author is a niece of
Madame Récamier, and published her Mem-
oirs some years ago. This last volume is the
complement of the first, illustrating her life
and qualities by means of her familiar corre-
spondence more fully than did the Memoirs.
The author adds to the letters some interest-
ing reminiscences of her aunt, which also il-
lustrate her home-life. The author of Little
Women needs no introduction to the public.
Her books have been translated into many
languages. And have had an enormous sale in
this country. Eight Cousins is, in the same
happy vein as the previous books, and will
no doubt attain the same popularity. It is
illustrated by Addie Ledyard and Sol Eytinge.
During the coming month Roberts Bros.
will issue Joaquin Miller's Ship in the Desert,
and three attractive juveniles Nîme Little
Goslings, by Susan Coolidge, with illustrations
by J. A. Mitchell; Mice at Play, by Neil For.

poem has been thoroughly revised, portions
of it re written, and the best portions of this
edition do not appear at all in that printed in
England. Nºne Little Goslings is made up of
prose stories, based on the Mother Goose
rhymes. The publishers have also in press a
new volume of poems by Mrs. Margaret J.
Preston, the popular southern writer, for
whom Lippincott published a volume of
verses two years ago. The new volume will
be entitled Cartoons, and will contain .stories
in verse of some of the old painters, and other
poems. A little later in the season will be is-
sued a book for girls, entitled Sia, to Sæteen,
by the author of The Brownies.
The latest publications of William F. Gill
& Co. are The New Don Quixote, translated
from the French of Alphonse Daudet by Mr.
Crocker of the Literary World, a very amus-
ing satire, in the form of a story of the ad-
ventures of Tartarin of Tarascom, who is fired
by reading books of adventure to go to Afri-
ca, and hunt lions; Number Two of the Satchel
Series, containing sketches by Miss Braddon,
Albany Fomblanque, Swinburne, and others,
some of which have never before been printed
here; and Vol. II. of the Treasure-Trove
Series, which is entitled Tra resty, and contains
“A Treble Temptation,” by F. C. Burnand,
which has not before been printed here; “St.
Twel’mo,” by John Paul (W. H. Webb), and
others as good. On the same date was issued
a neat little red-edged 16mo, entitled The
H. ndy Home-Book, containing five hundred
recipes and receipts for all sorts of things,
prepared by Dr. William M. Cornell, a well-
known Boston physician. Gill & Co. have
nearly ready two good novels: Cast up by the
Sett, by Mrs. Henry Wood, and A Hero of the
Pen, by E. Werner—a love-story in finished
style and much power, of the time of the
Franco-German war. -
Lockwood, Brooks & Co. have issued Cor-
Tespondences of the Bible, by the Rev. John
Worcester, a Swedenborgian clergyman of
Newton, Mass. This volume is intended as
the first of a series, and is devoted to refer-
ences to animals, pointing out the correspond-
ences between the natural and the spiritual
worlds, showing how all our surroundings in
this life are used to prepare us for the next.
Early in the coming month this house will
issue Towards the Straight Gate, by the Rev. E.
F. Burr, author of Pater Mundi. The new
Volume is somewhat after the style of the
former work, but more practical, being ap-
plied to the wants every-day life. This will
be followed by ä new edition of The Fºrmer-
Boy, by William Thayer, published long ago
by Walker, Wise & Co. It is a series of
stories of George Washington’s early life,
Supposed to be told by Uncle Juvinell to a
group of children. For the children will be
published, under the title of Fairy Bells, and
What They Tolled Us, a collection of German
fairy tales, translated by Mrs. Lander. A
little later they will publish a series of lec-
tures delivered before the Lowell Institute
last fall, by Dr. Samuel Kneeland, Professor
of Zoëlogy and Physiology in the Massachu-
sett Institute of Technology, on Iceland, the
Orkney, Shetland, and Faro Islands. They
include an account of the scenery, people, and
history of the islands, with a description of
the celebration of 1874. The volume will
contain engravings and a map.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. published early
in the month, under the title of Goaks and
ſears, a collection of the funny paragraphs
and sketches of Mr. C. B. Lewis, the humor-
ist of the Detroit Free Press, and better known
to the public as “M. Quad " Many of the
sketches have not been printed before, and
there is many a hearty laugh in the little
volume. Achsah, by the Rev. Peter Pennot,
is nearly ready. It is a thoroughly good
story, as the many readers of American Biomes,
in the columns of which it has appeared, can
testify. Frank N. Lantz's volume of poems,
Songs After Sunset, will be published early in
the month ; also Col. Russell H. Conwell’s
book on woman’s status and what it should
be, under the title of Woman amd the Law).

- PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 1875.
There has been a slow-but steady improve-
ment in business during the month, and the
trade expect a better season than last year.
Hopes for a speedy return of the old-time
rush have been long since abandoned, and
book-makers and book-dealers are disposed to
be satisfied with a steady and safe trade.
Our subscription houses still complain of dull
times, and our publishers are yet cautious ;
but the indications are that, in all except
Strictly industrial or mechanical books, at
least a fair business will be done during the
fall and winter.
The retirement of Mr. Joseph H. Coates
from the firm of Porter & Coates has not
made any change whatever in the business of
the latter firm. They will continue to publish
and to sell as before, and J. H. Coates & Co.
have an office in the building, and conduct a
strictly publishing business.
The first issue of the new firm will be the
first volume of the English translation of
L’Histoire de la Guerre Civile en Amérique, by
M. le Comte de Paris, published by authority
of the author. The volume will be an octavo,
with maps and battle-plans, and includes the
first two volumes of the French edition. The
Count of Paris, grandson of the late King
Louis Philippe, it will be remembered, came
to this country in 1861, and served without .
pay upon Gen. McClellan's staff. He has re-
ceived valuable contributions to this work
from private letters and journals of Generals
Grant, McClellan, Johnston, and other officers
both of the Federal and Confederate armies.
Through President Grant's lively interest in
the forthcoming history the author has en-
joyed access to important and interesting gov-

ernment documents and records, including
those of the late Southern Confederacy. Pro-
fessor Henry Coppée, LL.D., President of
Lehigh University, has undertaken the edit-
ing and the annotating of the American edi-
tion of the work. Dr. Coppée has had large
experience in military matters, being a gradu-
ate of, and subsequently a professor at West
Point, having served in the Mexican war, and
being author of several well-known military
and historical works, which renders him pe-
culiarly fitted for this task. Mr. L. F. Tasis-
tro, for many years translator for the State
Department at Washington, has the transla-
tion in charge. The history, so far as issued
in the French, has received the highest praise
from the important critical journals of Am-
erica and of England, and its translation will
unquestionably for many years be a valuable
history of the war.
Porter & Coates have published Castle Daly,
a novel, by Annie Keary, whose Oldbury was
So well received. The last story will be liked
probably even better than the other. It is
constructed with much skill, is unobjection-
able in tone, and is written with much care.
Some new editions lately printed are worthy
of notice, of which mention may be made of .
The Kangaroo-Hunters, by Anne Bowman,
which has been long out of print; and a dozen
of the little books for children, by Mrs. Hoff-
land, including The Son of a Genius, The Blind
Ifather and His Children, and The Affectionate
Brothers, etc. They are all of merit, and are
now printed with new illustrations and in new
bindings. A new volume, entitled The Com-
quests of the Seven Hills, has been added to the
“Seven Hills Library,” by Mrs. C. H. B. Laing,
making three commendable little books. Por-
ter & Coates have in preparation a somewhat
elaborate Guide Book for Philadelphia and
Vicinity, which is to contain maps and fine
illustrations.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have just issued some
excellent books, the most important of which
is perhaps Alliboné's Prose Quotations, a large
Octavo, giving nearly nine thousand quotations
from more than five hundred authors, from
Socrates to Macaulay. The subjects noticed
number 571, and the work is admirably in-
dexed. It is issued in a style uniform with
the Poetical Quotations. The History of Co-
operation in England, by George Jacob Hol-
yoake, is an English book, but upon a subject
of much greater interest here than many sup-
pose. It treats quite thoroughly and candidly
of the literature and plans of co-operation in
what the author calls its pioneer period—from
1812 to 1844, and he designs another volume
if this shall be well received. The most in-
teresting portions of the volume are the
sketches of the reformers and the many ec-
centric characters who have attempted from
time to time to revolutionize the customs of
society. Of the early reformers are Harring-
ton, Bellers, Morelly, and Babeuf; and among
the names of a later period are the Skene
brothers, Detrosier, and many others. The
Amazon and Madeira Rivers, by Franz Kel-
ler, is a very handsome and valuable book of
travel in South America, embellished with
sixty-eight wood engravings; and Under the
Stork's Nest, a good German romance, by A. E.
Katsch, translated by Emily R. Steinestel.
The October books promised by Lippincott
& Co. include a poem on American Boyhood,
by Horace P. Biddle ; Wild Hyacinthe, a novel
by Mrs. Randolph, author of Gentianella, and
the prose works and miscellanies of Heinrich
Heine, translated by S. L. Fleishman. They
have in preparation a curious work on Kiss-
ing, collating all that is to be found on the
subject in history, fiction, poetry, and anec-
dote, and the material is not inconsiderable.
The volume is prepared by the author of
Gleanings for the Curious, and will be issued
in an attractive duodecimo. The Lippincotts
have purchased the plates of the Artist’s Edi-
tion of Irving's Sketch-Book, and will bring
out a handsome edition for the holidays.
Besides the new editions of many of their
most popular books, T. B. Peterson & Bros.
have published a new novel by Mrs. C. A.
Warfield, entitled Hester Howard’s Temptation.
The reputation of the author's previous books
is sure to secure for this a warm welcome.
Her Household of Bouverie, which was first
published at $3.50, and afterwards reduced to
$2, has always been a good selling book.
Reynolds's books, which have so long been be-
fore the public, have lately been in increased
demand—whether from the advertising they
receive, or the late revival of interest in the
old court scandals, the publishers do not
undertake to say; but the fact remains that
they are constantly filling large orders. New
volumes are announced in the fine library
edition of Mrs. Southworth’s works, and
Waverley in the cheap edition of Scott; also
Parkwater, a new novel by Mrs. Henry Wood,
printed from advance sheets.
Lindsay & Blakiston are constantly adding
valuable books to their already long list.
Blayden on Diseases of the Heart and Aorta, just
published in two large octavo volumes, is the
most elaborate work on the subject yet pub-
lished. The author is a professor in a Dub-
lin medical school, and has made the heart
a subject of special study for years. Vision :
Its Optical Defects, and the Adaptation of
Spectacles, by C. S. Fenner, is also a valuable
book, not only to the profession, but to any
one who has an interest in the subject and
understands the primary principles of Optics.
Part First is a brief treatise of Physical Optics;
Part Second is devoted to Physiological Optics,
and Part Third to errors of refraction and de-
fects of accommodation. An appendix is also
added, containing instructions for the adapta-
tion of spectacles. Sanderson’s Hand-Book for
the Physiological Laboratory, a popular work for
students, formerly published text and plates
in separate volumes, is now issued in one vol-
ume at a reduced price. -

The Secretary immediately issued the following:
‘TO THE BOOKSELLERS OF MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, MICH., August 25, 1875.
THE MICHIGAN BOOKSELLERS' ASSOCIATION has been
ānaugurated in order to harmonize the book trade in
Michigan; also for the furtherance of friendly inter-
ecourse, in the end that better prices may be obtained
for books.
Your attention is called to the Constitution and By-
Laws of the Michigan Booksellers' Association, and it
is urged upon you the neeessity of immediately joining
this Association, addressing the Secretary and author.
.izing him to sign your name to the Constitution.
By a unanimous membership in each State, publishers
will see the necessity of themselves º to
their published prices, and will feel compelled to pay
: Inore respect to the retailer, thus confining the trade
more exclusively to its, pârticular locality.
The broadcast sowing of discounts by publishers and
large dealers in books has made sad havoc with the
retailers' profits, and has educated the public into the
belief that the publishers' prices are myths, and that the
retailer must give them at least one-half their profits.
We cannot expect to cure this great evil at once; but
we already have the palpable proof of the great good
...that has been accomplished, in the short existence of the
American Book Trade Association. A maximum dis-
vcount of 20 per cent. has been secured, and the day is
, not far distant when the full retail price will be gained.
The leading publishers have joined hands with us, and
: are working as hard as we to bring about the cure.
The Michigan Booksellers' Association will endeavor
...to accomplish the following:
1st.—Uniformity of prices. -
2d.—As speedily as possible a return to full retail prices.
3d.—Kindly feeling towards one another.
4th.—A strict adherence to the Twenty Per Cent.
- Article of the American Book Trade Association.
The following is a copy of the Twenty Per Cent. Ar-
| ticle: -
Resolved, That the American Book Trade Association
pledges itself to maintain, and urges upon the entire trade
; the absolute necessity of maintaining the publishers'
. advertised retail prices in all sales to buyers outside the
trade, excepting that a reduction, not to exceed ten per
, cent. in medical books, and twenty per cent. in all other
, classes of books, including educational, may be allowed to
the following classes only ; Public libraries, including cir-
, culating and Sunday-school; clergymen and professional
1 teachers; professional books to professional buyers; large
..buyers, said purchasers buying wholly for their own use,
: and in case of the exceptions made by the Publishers'
Board of Trade. In case the rules of this Association
. . should, under exceptional circumstances, work injustice
to any dealer in competition with other parties, said
dealer may state his case to the Arbitration Committee
..and this committee shall have power to authorize him to
7take such measures as will meet the energency, after
notice has been given and the like liberty granted to the
•other dealers directly concerned,
The term “large buyers” in this resolution seems to
be a vexed one, and one that has already called out a
great deal of argument with no definite results. It
would seem unfair to bind all sections of a country to
one particular locality; for what would be considered a
large buyer in one place might not be so considered in
0. º place. We, therefore, think that this rule
should be acted upon by each town separately. Let
them each take their own º of the term, and
the smaller place will always have the advantage over
the larger.
|Unity makes strength. Then let us unite in this war
of discounts, and bracing shotilder to shoulder, buckle
on the armor of confidence in one another and in the
trade, and we will present such a front that the enem
will not dare approach us unless they are armed wit
the full price of #. book.

AFFAIRs of LEE & SHEPARD,
The creditors of Lee & Shepard met by in-
witation of the insolvent firm, at their store
in Boston, September 16th.
Mr. Fairchild, of the firm of S. D. Warren
& Co., paper dealers, called the meeting to
order, Mr. H. Q. Houghton was chosen chair-
man, and Mr. H. C. Armstrong, of Scribner,
Armstrong & Co., acted as secretary,
When the object of the meeting had been
briefly stated, Mr. Charles A. B. Shepard said :
We regret exceedingly the unpleasant nature of the
business which calls you together at this time. We are
pleased to see so many present, for we desire that all
who can should learn direct from us our position. It
would be useless for us to recount the cause of this mis-
fortune. One calamity after another has overtaken us,
and, notwithstanding we have worked days and studied
nights to avoid this unpleasant occurrence, our efforts
have been unavailing. Every honorable means has been
resorted to to avoid suspension of payment, but at the
last we found that, as honest men, we had no alternative—
come it must ; and no one of you, no matter how severe
the loss may be, feels it more keenly than do we. We
have, however, the gratifying consolation of knowing
that wo have your sympathy, as well as that of the press
and the public, and we trust that we will not be blamed
when we say that we are proud in feeling, though de-
linquent, that we have conducted our business in such a
manner as to be entitled to such kind expressions as
have come from every source. We know full well that
it does not pay you one additional cent on your just
claims; but we also know that you must feel the more
fully justified in haying placed the confidence you have
in us. Our personal friends are sufferers, and yet we are
assured by them that they regret the calamity more on
account of Lee & Shepard than on their own. For
three long, weary years we have struggled in every way
to avoid this unpleasant occasion, and had it not been
for the encouraging words of approval and the sub-
stantial aid all of you have given, the present meeting
would long since, have taken place. We can only say,
gentlemen, for all of these kindnesses we thank you;
they are not, and never can be forgotten ; and if we can-
not in the future convince you of the fact, there may be
an opportunity when we can some of those who are dear
to you. At present we are powerless and moneyless, but
are sustained by the feeling that we know we have done
our duty to the best of our knowledge and ability, and
that we have the approval of those of you who best
know through what we have passed, Gentlemen, we
place ourselves entirely and unreservedly in your hands,
and will use our utmost endeavors to further your
wishes in every, respect. The property is yours, un-
diminished in value in any way since you permitted us
to act as your trustees, and it will be guarded until you
relieve us of the responsibility by deciding as to what
disposition shall be made of it. If my services or those
of my partners are needed, you are assured that they
will be given to the utmost of our ability, convinced
that our duty now is to secure to you the largest possible
percentage on your respective claims. You all know
how much I personally have bored you, and you all also
know now how imperative it was for the time being. I
must say that from no one of you have I ever experienced
anything but kind words, and many and many a time
have I left your places of business with choking throat
and suffused eyes, almost crushed by your kindness; and
I hope to live long enough to convince you that that
kindness was not a bad investment. We have been re-
peatedly told : “You ought to have stopped right after
the first fire.” In answer to that we would say that,
after carefully considering the matter, we felt that we
had no right to do so; and had we experienced for the
past three years the same prosperity which attended the
three years preceding the fire, we should not have
stopped now.
Mr. Shepard in conclusion presented the
following statement of their financial con-
dition :

In further explanation of the above, it should be added

They cost $250,000. Their value will be left for future
appraisement. This statement is of the affairs of
Messrs. Lee & Shepard, not of Messrs. Lee, Shepard &
Dillingham, of New York, a meeting of whose creditors
will be held in New York to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Fairchild, the following
committee was appointed to investigate the
affairs of the house :
Charles Fairchild, of S, D. Warren & Co.,
Boston ; Jas, R. Osgood, of Jas, R. Osgood &
Co., Boston ; A, Avery, of Rand, Avery & Co.,
Boston; Edwin Fleming, of E. Fleming &
Co., Boston; Isaac E. Sheldon, of Sheldon &
Co., New York. Addresses of sympathy were
made by Messrs. Houghton, Sheldon, and
Mr. Curtis Guild, of the Commercial Bulletin,
Boston, -
The meeting adjourned subject to the call
of the above-named committee,
THE SECOND MEETING,
Boston, September 30, 1875.
At the meeting of the creditors of Lee &
Shepard, held to-day, the committee proposed
a settlement on the basis of 20 per cent. in
notes for six, twelve, eighteen, and twenty-
four months, te
Mr. Lee stated that up to within the time of
the meeting the firm had no idea of what the
committee's report was to be, and therefore
they had no opportunity to look about them
and see what could be done, They had had
no ground to act upon. He asked an adjourn-
ment of the meeting for, say a fortnight, sub-
ject to the call of Lee & Shepard, in order
that the firm might have time to see what
they could do in regard to making a new
proposition. -
A motion to that effect was adopted,

E. MCPAOUGE LIN,
WALTER S. APPLETON,
John W. HARPER.
After some debate, in which it was stated
that the affairs of the two firms must be
settled separately, on account of the differ-
ence in the laws of the two statºs, the report
was adopted, and an agreemerit drawn up and
signed by those present, representing the fol-
lowing houses: McLoughlin Brothers, Shel-
don & Co., George W. Carleton & Co., Ivison,
Blakeman, Taylor & Co., Thomas Nelson &
Sons, Dick & Fitzgerald, Scribner, Welford &
Armstrong, George A. Leavitt & Co., E. P.

Co., and George Routledge & Sons. -
JLITERARY AIKID TRADE JTEMs.
A new novel by May Agnes Fleming, Wo.
ºne's Revenge, is announced by Carleton & Co.
Baker & Voorhis will soon publish in
pamphlet form the valuable series of papers,
by Dr. S. T. Spears, which have appeared in
The Independent.
Spurgeon’s new book, which has so greatly
attracted the attention of the religious press,
Lectures to My Students, will be published by
Sheldon & Co., Oct, 6th. -
Sheldon & Co. will soon publish Mrs. Annie
Edwards' story, Leah : A Woman of Fashion.
This is one of Mrs. Edwards' most charming
stories, is drawn to the life, and is sure to
have a good sale. &
Prohibition Does Prohibit is the title of a
little pamphlet by J. N. Stearns, published
by The National Temperance Society. It con-
tains arguments and statistics from many
sources, to prove that only prohibition can
check the evils of intemperance.
Wych Hazel, by Miss Warner, author of The
Wide, Wide World, is in preparation by G. P.
Putnam's Sons, and will be published by the
first of January. The same house will issue
early in the new year, A Survey of Americah
Literature, by the Rev. Moses.Coit Tyler.
The National Temperance Society have
published Balford Mills; or, God’s Answer to
Woman’s Prayer, a meat little story for chil-
dren, of which the main incidents are true ;
and Our Wasted Resources, by Dr William
Hargreaves, giving statistics of the liquor
traffic and the evils which it causes,
E. J. Hale & Son have published The Lacy
Diamonds, a new novel by the author of The
Odd Trump, and Harwood, which have been
two of the most popular novels of the season.
The Lacy Diamonds will probably be liked, by
Imost novel readers, better than either of the
previous two, as excelling them in curious
plot and dramatic incident.
Charles P. Somerby bas published a volume
which should find readers in every family.
It is entitled Health Fragments, and is the
work of Dr. George H. Everett and Dr. Susan
Everett. The former treats of the most
common diseases, the injurious habits of
life, the various kinds of food, the sexual re-
lations, etc. The lady takes up a much smaller
portion of the volume ; but what she has to
say of dress, care, and education of children,
and other matters of every-day Iife, is quite
as important.

A “Supplementary Book Fair,” under the
management of George A. Leavitt & Co., is to
be held in this city, commencing October 21st.
It will be conducted under the auspices of the
Committee on Fairs of the American Book
Trade Association, and upon the same plan as
the Fair in July.
S. R. Wells & Co. have published a useful
little work by Dr. R. T. Trall, on The Human
Woice, giving directions for strengthening and
improving it by gymnastic exercises. “It does
not claim to be an elaborate and comprehen-
sive treatise, but a safe guide, based upon
physiological principles, for the use of those
who aim to become good readers and harmo-
nious, intelligible speakers.” It is illustrated
with appropriate cuts.
S. W. Burley, Philadelphia, is preparing a
United States Centennial Gazetteer and Guide,
which promises to take the lead of the many
works of this kind announced. It will be a
volume of about a thousand pages, containing
matters of interest in relation to the coming
and previous exhibitions of this kind, statis-
tics of our industries, and classified lists of
principal business houses. It is proposed to
have the volume ready by the first of the year.
We would call the attention of all book-
sellers and news agents to the advertisement
of T. B. Peterson & Brothers, on the last page
of this number, where they offer special
discounts to all who wish to lay in a stock
of their popular works at the present time.
This old established house publish over one
thousand of the most popular and best sell-
ing books issued in this country, and now is
an excellent time for dealers to lay in a stock
at the low special prices offered.
A. D. F. Randolph & Co. have issued a
neat edition of The Epworth Singers, and Other
Poets of Methodism, by Rev. S. W. Christoph-
ers. In a volume of some five hundred pages
the author treats of the writers of sacred song
who have belonged to the Methodist Church,
of their families, their labors, their homes,
the incidents of their lives that are worth re-
cording. The author's style is pleasing, and
there is much in the book that is entertaining,
even to those that are not particularly inter-
ested in the subject. - -
The New York Book Concern, 7 Warren
street, New York, are issuing Lossing's Field-
Book of the Revolution, to which is added a
Pictorial History of the War of 1812. The
work is something more than a history, as
the author has gathered together many ro-
mantic incidents relating to the two wars,
with anecdotes and local traditions that are
not found in ordinary history The maps and
plans, as well as the illustrations, are admir-
ably designed to assist the reader, being ac-
curate and full. Twelve parts of the work
are now ready. There are to be fifty-six
parts in all, with nearly two thousand illus-
trations. When completed the work will
make three handsome volumes. It is sold
only by Subscription. g
Kenny’s Illustrated Cincinnati is one of the
handsomest and most thorough books of the
kind ever made. It is a complete guide to the
city, containing over three hundred engrav-
ings of noteworthy buildings, scenes, and lo-
calities, and an excellent map. The attractive
suburbs and beautiful drives are fully de-
scribed, and the varied industrial and com-
mercial interests are noticed at length. The
book is published in good style by Robert
Clarke & Co.
In issuing The Best Authors in Prose and
Poetry, Porter & Coates have inserted the fol-
lowing: “This work was originally published
as the “Comprehensive Speaker,” and as such
met with considerable favor. It having been
suggested, however, that the book merited a
more general circulation than under this title
it would be likely to secure, the publishers
have been induced to issue this edition in
library form.” It would be well for all pub-
lishers to be as conscientious when they
change the title of a book.
Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati, have pub-
lished a treatise on Politics as a Science, by
Charles Reemelin. The word “ Politics '' is
not used in its narrow sense, which the
author regards as a vicious use of the word,
but in the sense given it by Aristotle, in his
Politeia. The treatise is really on the science
of government. Though not by any means
thorough, nor the papers so closely connected
as the nature of a treatise on the subject
would seem to demand, it contains much sug-
gestive thought, and as books of the kind are
scarce, this will be welcomed by thoughtful
readers to whom it is addressed.
We have received from E. Steiger, of this
city, a series of twenty-seven catalogues, with
one complete index of subjects for the whole,
bound together in a neat and strong cover.
Mr. Steiger is probably the most enterprising
and persevering bibliographer in the trade.
Though including books in other languages,
the lists are mostly German, and comprise the
principal works in the various departments of
literature in that language, including Juve-
niles, Fiction, Theology, Kindergarten works,
etc. He keeps his catalogues revised up to
date, and to dealers in German books they
must be of great assistance. It is a pity that
we have not some dealer in English books
who would show as much zeal in cataloguing.
The Rutland (Vt.) Weekly Herald says:
Messrs. Tuttle & Co., book and job printers,
have just put into their office one of the most
perfect and finest printing presses in any of-
fice in the State of Vermont. It is a Cottrell
& Babcock first-class, two roller, air spring,
drum cylinder press, and occupies a space on
the floor of 7 by 12, is 6 feet high, and weighs
over 9,000 pounds, and will print a sheet 29
by 42 inches. It has all the latest patents and
improvements, including a patent governor
for the air springs. It is the second press
built by these celebrated makers with the
latest improvements. #:

is published by Ditson & Co.
O. Ditson & Co. publish a series of Italian
songs under the general title of “Wayside

are quite easy. A few French songs are also
in the series,

very pretty little song and chorus, entitled
What the Candle Said Was True, an answer to
There’s a Letter ºn the Candle ; also a nocturne
for piano, by Clara E. Saylor, arranged by H.
A. Clark, and entitled Chicago Fºre-Bells. The
latter is published as a solo and also as a duet,
and has become quite popular as an effective
descriptive composition.
Russell & Co. have shown a commendable
zeal in publishing the first movement of
Rubinstein's Ocean Symphony in C. The
composition is not wholly unfamiliar to
Americans, Rubinstein having played it here
at his concerts, but it has never before been
published in this country. Although sim-
plified in many passages, it is still beyond the
reach of any but the most advanced players.

£3USINESS CHANGEs.
At Washington, D. C., C. C. Pursell, book-
seller and stationer, has removed to 422 Ninth
street, N. W.
At Muskegon, Mich., Bolza & Reynolds,
booksellers and stationers, are succeeded by
Fred. L. Reynolds.
At Philadelphia, the well-known publish-
ers of Industrial books, Henry Carey Baird &
Co., have moved from 406 Walnut street to
810 Walnut Street.
Mr. John A. Porcher has purchased the in-
terest of A. S. Jones, in the firm of Tarbox &
Co., stationery and blank book manufac-
turers, 36 & 38 Beekman street, New York.
The new firm will be known as Tarbox &
Porcher.
At St. Paul, Minnesota, J. T. Dudley, book-
seller and stationer, has admitted his brother,
George T. Dudley, and the business is con-
tinued under the firm-name of Dudley Bro-
thers. The senior member of the firm was for-
merly in the business at Elmira, N. Y., and
bought out W. S. Combs, of St. Paul, a year
ago. Mr. George T, Dudley, has for some
years conducted a book and stationery busi-
ness in Trenton, N. J.
The plucky undertaking of J. M. Stoddart
& Co., in reprinting here the ninth edition of
the Encyclopædia Britannica, promises to be
successful. The first volume of the reprint
has been out nearly two months. The type
and page are a little smaller than the English,
making the volumes of about the same num-
ber of pages, but more convenient to handle:
and the paper is lighter, but good. This ini-
tial volume is an exact reprint, the cuts being
all reproduced here—though the publishers
intimate, in their Introductory Notice, that
some slight changes or additions will be made
to supply what may be deemed deficiencies in
the original text, by American readers; and
they propose to make an additional volume,
to contain new treatises upon subjects in which
there is a special interest here. The price is
a little more than half that of the English
edition. The hazardous nature of the under-
taking may be inferred, when it is stated
that the work is to be in twenty-one volumes,
of about eight hundred pages each, and is to
be liberally illustrated with cuts, maps, and
plates. •
–-—sº
We venture to say that there are very few
people under forty years of age in this city,
to whom the name of B. Bloomfield, stationer
and law book publisher, is not as familiar as
a household word. How many have bought
from him their first copy-books and steel pens ?
How many associate with their school-days
the recollection of trips to that store for slates,
pencils, etc., etc. And we know that among
older and graver people his stationery, in all
its great variety, is among the things consid-
ered as necessary as life itself. To-day as of
yore, the house is still in the front rank of the
business ; it still keeps an incomparable
stock, and under the title of B. Bloomfield &
Co. is just as popular, just as able to supply
all demands for everything in their line.
They still print law books, law briefs, sher-
iffs', recorders', notaries public, coroners’, and
in fact all other kind of legal blanks at re-
duced prices. And we know that our people
will not fail to patronize them.–New Orleans

NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES
The Managers of the American News Company have had many years' experience in the News Business, and under-
stand the wants of the Trade. If the ſollowing rules will be observed by our customers, we feel satisfied there Will be n0
disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence ; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making
remittances, always procure a Draft or Post Office Money Order on New York, payable to our order. , 3d,—Money sent by *
mail is at risk of parties sending. 4th.—The Wholesale Prices are net. We do not make any additional charges for
packing or cartng in this city, except when packing boxes are needed, and then only the cost of the boxes. 5th.—Small
orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. , 6th.—We do not send New Papers and
Magazimes on sale to those who specially order ws not to do so, but do send all mew publications to own dealers, whless
they order ws not to do so. We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.—We send New Books as soon as

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or order (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week’s papers) similar to this form

On its first appearance this History was recognized
by all branches of the Presbyterian family as a work of
eminent truthfulness and merit, and received the warm
commendation of their scholars and periodicals.
So far as the statements of facts are concerned, very
little change was required in the Revised Edition; but
what before was asserted without qualification, as to
the relation and action of the two parties in times of
controversy and division, has been so modified that the
party by whom such assertion was regarded as histori-
cally true or just, is alone made responsible for it.
other words, the historian has allowed each party to
speak for itself, representing its own views, while the .
reader is left at liberty to draw his own conclusions.

THE Book MARKET
NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 1875.
The past month has not been a hopeful one
for the book trade. Orders have been light,
and there has been almost an entire absence of
the evidences of stocking up which are usually
seen at this season. The absence of large
orders in the early part of the month was ac-
counted for by many by the coming Book Fair;
but the Fair has been held, and the sales were
far from satisfactory. Very few buyers took
the trouble to attend, and they bought no
heavy bills. The lack of business at the Fair
is held by some to be an indication of a dull
holiday season, but we do not so regard it.
The busy season will come late, and will prob-
ably be a short one, but it is sure to come. It
came last year and the year before, in spite of
the gloomy forebodings, and those who are
prepared for it will do a good business this
year. But there is no disposition on the part
of the trade to stock up in anticipation of the
demand, and they will delay buying as long as
possible. This course may be a wise one, pro-
viding the delay is not too long. To secure a
share of the trade, it is necessary to have the
goods and to display them.
Hurd & Houghton announce for immediate
publication two important additions to our
historical lore: The German Element in the War
of American Independence, by George Wash-
ington Greene, in which the part taken by the
Germans employed by the British is fully set
forth ; and The Familiar Letters of John Adams
and His Wife, with a memoir of the latter, by
Charles Francis Adams. Mrs. Adams's letters
possess an historical value, and several editions
have been published before, but not with the
Corresponding letters of her husband, which
add much to their interest. Besides these we
are to have from Hurd & Houghton A Glimpse
at the Art of Japan, by James Jackson Jarves,
to be illustrated with fac-similes from Japan-
ese designs; and Winter Sunshine, by John
Burroughs, who writes charmingly of out-of-
door life.
Harper & Brothers have published Healey, an
English novel; a treatise on The Might and
Mirth of Literature, by John Walker Vilant Mac-
beth ; a literal translation of Plato's Dialogues;
and the poems of Oliver Goldsmith, “The
Traveler,” “The Deserted Village,” and “The
Retaliation,” edited with rare ability with
original and selected notes, by William Rolfe,
who has edited some of Shakspeare's plays so
admirably. The volume is finely illustrated and
contains biographical sketches of Thackeray,
Irving, Macaulay, George Coleman, Campbell,
and John Foster. Healey is published anony-
mously, but it is above the average novel in
interest, and pure and wholesome in tone. The
Might and Mirth of Literature is an extraordi-
nary book—so extraordinary that there is not
another book in existence with which we can
compare it. The theme is Figurative . Lan-
guage, but the author goes over the whole field
of literature, culling here and there the
choicest bits for the delectation of his readers.
There is an abundance of Sound instruction for
the student, interesting facts for the curious,
and pleasant reading for everybody. The
coming books from the press of Harper Broth-
ers are Castelar's Life of Lord Byron ; a Life of
the Rev. Dr. Todd ; Babylon and Nineveh, by
the Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman ; and Farm Legends,
by Will Carleton. • w
G. P. Putman’s Sons have issued The Taali-
dermist’s Manual, uniform with their series of
popular manuals; The Big Brother, a story
by George Carey Eggleston; the fifth part of
their Old New York; and several atlases, which
were announced in our last. In press are
Notes of Travel in South Africa, by C. J. An-
dersson, author of Lake Ngam?; English Radical
Jeaders, by R. J. Hunter; and several volumes
in the Advanced Science Series. They have
also in press a series of books comprising the
best selections from the British essayists, Ad-
dison, Steele, Abercrombie, Johnson, Chester-
field, and others, whose contributions enriched
the pages of the Spectator, the Rambler, the
Tattler, and similar papers. . No attempt will
be made to adapt or revise the original text,

but the essays will be reproduced as they ori-
ginally appeared. The series is to be edited
by Mr. John Habberton. The first volume
will be taken from The Spectator, the second
from The Tattler and The Guardian. Then
will follow a volume from The Ramblem", The
Idler, and The Adventurer, and one from The
World, The Mirror and The Lounger, and one
or two more volumes—the last to contain a
general index to the series.
The new issues from Scribner, Armstrong
& Co. are few, but important. Sevenoaks,
Dr. Holland's novel, has been published seri-
ally in Scribner's Monthly, and its merits have
been heralded by nearly every newspaper in
the country. It is purely an American novel,
the characters are sharply delineated, and the
incidents are pleasing. It reads better as a
whole than it did in the magazine. Some of
the papers which go to make up Mr. Nadal's
Impressions of Londom Social Life have also
appeared in Scribner’s, and their merits have
been widely discussed. Mr. Nadal was for a
time secretary of legation in London, and
had abundant opportunity to study society
in its highest phases; but very few, even
with equal advantages, are able to give
us the results of their observations so
cleverly as he has in this volume. The reader
must be very dull indeed, who cannot be
amused with and interested in the contrasts
drawn between English and American society
and customs. The latest volume of the Bric-
à-Brac Series is devoted to the personal recol-
lections of Lamb, Hazlitt, Thomas Camp-
bell, and Lady Blessington. By many, this
will be regarded as the very best volume of
the series. Lamb's humor and eccentricities
make very pleasant reading ; anything relat-
ing to Hazlitt and Campbell cannot but be
interesting, and Lady Blessington's intimate
acquaintance with the notables of her time
makes that portion of the book devoted to
her of peculiar interest. The only other book
during the month from this house is The New
Day, “a poem in songs and sonnets,” by
Richard Watson Gilder. It is printed and
bound, as it deserves, in a dainty little volume,
with illustrations. Though this is the first
book of poetry from Mr. Gilder, the readers of
Scribner’s are not unacquainted with his writ-
ings, he being the assistant editor of the mag.
azine and author of the delightful “Old
Cabinet’’ papers. Of the poem much can be
said in praise. It is finished and artistic,
fanciful, and full of delicate beauties. It is
made up of a series of poems, written at dif.
ferent times, all devoted to love, and describ-
ing the night, the dawn, and the growth of
the heavenly passion into perfect day. In a
few days, Scribner, Armstrong & Co. will
issue in a royal quarto volume, India and Its
Native Primces, containing over three hundred
illustrations; and Frank R. Stockton’s Tales
Out of School. The next Bric-à-Brac volume
will contain reminiscences of Constable and
Gillies.
D. Appleton & Co. have reprinted from the
Eſome Journal, Erckmann-Chatrian's novel,
Brigadier Frederick. It is an affecting story of
an Alsatian family during the Franco-German
war, depicting all the horrors of the strife,
and the keen suffering which must always
attend war. The other late issues of D. Ap-
pleton & Co. are, a History of Rome from the
foundation of the city to the fall of Augustu-
lus, A.D. 476, by Charles Merivale, which is
published in a single 12mo volume, with
maps; A Comcordance to the Works of Alea’am-
der Pope, by Edwin A. Abbott, D.D.; a volume
on Climate and Time in their Geological Rela-
tions ; one on Money and the Mechanism of Ea:-
change, by W. Stanley Jevons, Professor of
Political Economy in the Owens College, Man-
chester ; and Weights, Measures, and Money of
all Nations, compiled by Prof. F. W. Clarke,
of the University of Cincinnati. This is de-
signed as a book for reference, and contains a
classification by countries, and a set of com-
parative tables. Dr. Abbott's Concordance to
Pope is a scholarly work, and will afford
much aid to the student. The book on Cli-
mate and Time is written by James Croll, of
the British Geological Survey, and is pro-
nounced by the English reviews as a most im-
portant contribution to geological science.
One of its most striking features is its bold
originality. Momey and the Mechanism of Ea:-
change is a timely volume. It has met with
great favor in England, and as the subject
possesses a still greater interest here, it will
no doubt be widely read. Professor Bonamy
Price's work on Currency will be published at
an early day; also Darwin's Climbing Plants
and their Habits, and a volume of Essays by
R. A. Proctor. -
Sheldon & Co. have published Lectures to
My Students, by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon,
being selections from his addresses to the
students of the Pastor's College, London ; and
Leah : A Woman of Fashion, Mrs. Annie Ed-
wards's latest novel, which has appeared in the
Galavy. The heroine is an interesting study,
and there are a number of well-drawn charac-
ters in the story, which is spirited and full of
surprises. Sheldon & Co. have nearly ready
a second series of Our Poetical Favorites, by
Professor A. C. Kendrick, of Rochester Uni-
versity, containing selections from the longer
English poems. The success of the first series
abundantly warrants a new volume, in the
preparation of which Professor Kendrick has
displayed excellent taste and judgment.
J. W. Bouton has added to his list of curious
books a second edition of Dr. Thomas Inman’s
Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism.
The work was first published six years ago,
and provoked much criticism. It has now
been revised and made more complete. It
is an attempt to explain concisely the origin
and meaning of the symbols used in the
Christian Church. The author's views are
peculiar and will not be indorsed by the
great body of believers in the Christian

religion, but the book is scholarly as well
as curious. Among the books in prepara-
tion by Mr. Bouton are the third and conclud-
ing volume of Ancient Faith embodied in Am-
cient Names, by Dr. Inman, an ingenious
attempt to trace the religious rites, emblems,
and beliefs of certain mations, to the names
assumed by noted ancients, or given to the
children by the priests; The Story of the Stick,
translated from the French by Fernand Michel;
and two fine illustrated volumes—a folio of
Evamples of Modern Etching, containing twenty
plates by celebrated artists, with notes by
Philip Gilbert Hamerton, and a demy quarto
volume on Monumental Christianity, or the Art
of Symbolism in the Primitive Church, with
Some two hundred illustrations and folding
plates.
G. W. Carleton & Co. have issued Norime’s
Revenge, a sensational but well written story
of woman’s love and hate, by Mrs. Mary Agnes
Fleming ; Charette, styled in the announcement
‘‘ an American novel,” a new illustrated edition
of The Culprit Fuy, and Josh Billings's Alminaa.
for 1876. Announced for early publication are
Bessie Turner's novel, entitled A Woman in the
Case ; and new novels by Julie P. Smith and
Augusta Evans.
From Robert Carter & Bros. we have a num-
ber of attractive little books for the children,
including the Rapids of Niagara, by the author
of The Wide, Wide World; the story of Fred
and Jeanie, and How They Learned about God,
by Jennie M. Drinkwater ; Elsie's Samta Claus,
a story in which Miss Ashton's Girls appear,
by Joanna H. Mathews, who always interests
and pleases the children, and The Odd One, a
story with a moral, of a sullen, sour-tempered
girl. Cowlyng Castle is a semi-historical ac-
count of the religious persecutions in Eng-
land in the fifteenth century, in which the
author, Agnes Giberne, has drawn some faith-
ful pictures of life at that time. A new red-
line edition of J. R. Macduff's Morning and
Might Watches is issued, and a new edition
of Hugh Miller's Footprints of the Creator is
being printed.
Dodd & Mead have published a new book
from the author of The Schönberg-Cotta Family,
entitled The Note-Book of the Bertram Family,
in which the characters found in Winifred
Bertram, one of Mrs. Charles's earliest books,
reappear. Dodd & Mead have projected a
“Half-Hour Series” of little books whose
province will be to illustrate and describe
wonderful places and things. They are
to be carefully prepared and profusely il-
lustrated. Their character is indicated by
the titles of the volumes which are nearly
ready, namely: The Far North ; The Far East :
The Great Deep , and The Tºny World.
W. J. Widdleton has nearly ready for pub-
lication—awaiting only the late monumental
proceedings at Baltimore—a new “Memorial
Edition ” of Edgar Allen Poe's Poems, to in
clude the Ingram Vindication and other new
matter.
BOSTON, Nov. 1, 1875.
Business has been far from satisfactory dur-
ing the month past, but a number of the most
recent books are at the present writing in
good demand, and many of the books now
going through the press must receive a large
share of attention between now and the close
of the year. The affairs of Lee & Shepard
are now in a fair way of being settled, they
having offered the creditors twenty-five per
cent. in secured notes. The majority of the
creditors have signed an agreement to accept
these terms, and have petitioned to allow the
firm to continue the business as the agents of
the assignee. -
The Gift Book Sale here has been the source
of much comment among the trade, and the
New England Booksellers' Association, at their
regular meeting on the 20th ultimo, adopted
a resolution condemning the plan of giving
gifts as inducements to purchasers, and also
the practice of advertising books at retail
at wholesale prices. The resolution is gen-
eral in its application, and was passed not on
account of the Boston Gift Enterprise alone,
but because it is feared that such schemes
may be adopted in other cities, to the injury
of the regular trade. There is a difference of
opinion in regard to the effect on the trade of
the course pursued by the Boston Gift House.
Some contend that it attracts buyers from the
regular stores, and injures the trade. Others
assert that it only serves to work off old stock;
that the advertisement, so far as it relates to
new books, is a sham, and that the buyers are
for the most part of a class that only buy the
books for the sake of the gifts, and were it
not for the latter would never visit a book-
store. Whatever may be thought of this par-
ticular scheme in Boston, it is certain that if
it be imitated in smaller cities it will do much
harm, and it was in this light that our Asso-
ciation viewed the matter. -
Since Miss Alcott's Eight Cousins, which
has passed rapidly through several editions,
appeared, Roberts Brothers have published
Nºne Little Goslings, by Susan Coolidge; Jolly
Good Times, by P. Thorne; Joaquin Miller's
The Shºp in the Desert ; and a new edition of
Hedge's Reason ºn Religion. Miss Coolidge's
book is filled with stories for children, based
on the Mother Goose Rhymes. They are
charmingly conceived and told, and free from
the objectionable features which are too often
found in such stories. Jolly Good Times is also
a child’s book, being a story, and a good one,
of child-life on a farm. Miller's poem, The Ship
Żm the Desert, has been much admired and also
much criticised. There are touches of genius
in it, and unmistakable defects. It is more
carefully written than his former poems, and
certainly will not detract from the fame he
has fairly won as a poet. Announced for im-
mediate issue are Cartoons, by Mrs. Preston;
the Autobiography of Mrs. Fletcher; and The
Shepherd Lady, a volume of poems, from the
first of which the volume has its title, by Jean

Ingelow. This will be a fine holiday volume, a
companion to Songs of Seven. It is elegantly
illustrated by Darley, Mary Halleck, Perkins,
Arthur Hughes, J. A. Mitchel, and W. S.
Shepherd. Mrs. Fletcher was a most lovely
character, and her Autobiography affords most
pleasant reading, not only on account of the
glimpses which it gives of her own life,
which was a beautiful example of unselfish-
ness and devotion to the happiness of others,
but also for her opinions of the men and
incidents of her time. Crabbe, Walter Scott,
Francis Jeffrey, James Grahame, Allan Cun-
ningham, Mrs. Barbauld, and many others
famous in literature or politics, were her
intimate acquaintances, and she speaks of
them with charming candor. Those who were
pleased with Mrs. Somerville’s Memoirs will
find this volume equally enjoyable.
William F. Gill & Co. have published Out
of the Deep, or Cast up by the Sea, by Mrs.
Henry Wood; the third volume of Treasure-
Trove, entitled Story; and A Hero of the Pen,
a novel by Ernest Werner. Mrs. Wood’s
novel was published many years ago under
another title, but it is a better story than most
of the new novels, and is in fact new to
most novel-readers of to-day. It has a strange
plot and is artistically written. The scene of
Werner's Story is laid during the Franco-
Prussian war, and the thrilling incidents of
that exciting period are worked up with rare
skill and originalizy. The new volume of the
Treasure-Trove Series is not inferior to the
others in excellence. It contains Dickens's
“Doctor Marigold,” “The O’Connors of O’Con-
nor’s Castle,” by Charles Lever, “The Truth-
ful Resolver,” by Nasby, and stories by Fitz
Hugh Ludlow, N. P. Willis, and others. Like
the contents of the previous volumes, the
stories are selected for their humorous charac-
ter, it being the design of the series to present
humor in its different modes of expression.
The next volume will be entitled Ea travagance,
and will contain “Grey Dolphin,” by Bar-
ham, “The Fate of Young Chubb,” by Max
Adeler, “ Moses the Sassy, ” by Artemus
Ward, “Boots at the Holly Tree Inn,” by
Dickens, and other sketches.
During the coming month, Gill & Co. will
issue Gail Hamilton's Sermons to the Clergy,
containing her recent essays, which have at-
tracted much notice ; a new novel from
Amanda M. Douglas entitled Drifted Asunder,
or The Tide of Fate ; and for the first time in
this form, the Dickens-Collins Christmas
stories, Wo Thoroughfare and The Lazy Tour of
Two Idle Apprentices. A new edition of Tenny-
son will also be issued, to include “Queen
Mary’” and other late poems. This house
have three books in preparation for the holi-
days, the principal of which is Laurel Leaves,
a companion volume to the Lotus Leaves of
last year. It is to contain stories, songs, and
poems, mostly written for this book, by Long-
fellow, Lowell, Whittier, Bryant, Trowbridge,
Higginson, Chas. Dudley Warner, John Paul,
types of celebrated paintings.
Miss Alcott, Wilkie Collins, and others. The
volume will be dedicated to Oliver Wendell
Holmes, whose autograph letter of acceptance
will appear. The illustrations are by Freder-
icks, Sol Eytinge, Birket Foster, and other
noted artists. Another pretty gift-book will be
Golden Threasures, to contain selections in prose
and poetry from our best authors, and to be
liberally illustrated. For the children, Gill
& Co. are printing a small quarto volume of
selected poems, to be embellished with fifty
full-page illustrations, and put into fine bind-
ings. It will bear the title of The Horm of
Plenty of Home Poems and Home Pictures.
James R. Osgood & Co. have just issued the
new volume of Bayard Taylor's Poems, includ-
ing Home Pastorals, the Goethe Ode, and
other poems, written since the last collection
was made in 1862; a handsome quarto entitled
Poetic Localities of Cambridge, containing views
of the scenes made famous by Longfellow,
Holmes, and others of our poets ; two books
for youthful readers: The Young Surveyor, by
J. T. Trowbridge, being the concluding vol-
ume of the Jack Hazard Series, and A Story-
Book for the Young Folks, by Mrs. A. M.
Diaz ; and the Holiday Edition of Mabel Mar-
tin, by Whittier. The last is beautifully il-
lustrated by the artists who embellished The
EIanging of the Ch'ame last year, and the vol-
ume, in printing, illustration, and binding, is
elegant. A number of novels are announced
for early issue, also Anna E. Dickinson’s
book, A Paying Investment ; a volume of
poems by George P. Lathrop ; one of the
same character, by C. P. Cranch, and a vol-
ume of sermons by the Rev. Frederick Brooks,
of Cleveland, Ohio. A second series of those
pleasant papers by James Russell Lowell,
under the title of Among my Books, will also
be ready in a week or two, and an octavo
volume by Mrs. J. H. Shedd, on Famous Paint-
ers and Paintings, to be illustrated with helio-
The first vol-
umes of the little West-Pocket Series will be
issued in a few days.
The finest work in process of publication by
Estes & Lauriat is their Picturesque World, or
Scenes in Many Lands, which is being issued
in parts, by subscription. The illustrations
are from designs and paintings of noted Amer-
ican and foreign artists, and the descriptive
text is edited by Dr. L. De Colange. The en-
tire work, which will run to from forty to forty-
eight parts, will contain upwards of a hundred
steel engravings and seven or eight hundred
woodcuts. Estes & Lauriat are also reissuing
by subscription, in twenty-eight parts, Owen
Jones's Grammar of Ormament, the plates of
which have all been retouched since its last
issue five years ago. They have nearly ready
Count Rumford's Life and Works, in five vol-
unles. Count Rumford was a royalist dur-
ing the Revolution, and was compelled by
public sentiment to leave the country. He
went to England, and was knighted as Sir
Benjamin Thompson. He afterwards went to

Bavaria, and engaged in the employ of the
government in applying his many inventions
to the every-day wants of life. He was noted
for his scientific attainments, his favorite
studies being Light and Heat. His works,
which are but little known to the readers of
the present generation, have never before been
all collected. Estes & Lauriat have in pre-
paration The Family Tree, a novel by Albany
Fonblanque; and a work on government, by
W. G. Dix.
From Lockwood, Brooks & Co. we have a
new volume from the pen of the Rev. Dr. E.
F. Burr, entitled, Toward the Straight Gate,
It is the natural successor, as the author says
of his Ad Fidem. It is not an argument in
favor of the Bible addressed to unbelievers,
but appeals to the indifference of those who
believe languidly, but do not show that ap-
preciation of divine truths which the au-
thor endeavors to impress. The papers are
thoughtful and earnest, and worthy of the au-
thor of Pater Mumdi. Two volumes for the
children are also issued by this house, both of
which are worthy of notice : a new edition of
The Farmer-Boy, and How He Became Com-
mander-in-Chief, a child’s life of Washington,
and a collection of fairy tales, translated from
the German, by S. W. Lander, and published
under the title of Fairy Bells, and What They
Tolled Us. There are eighteen stories in the
book, all fanciful and pleasing, and the col-
lection is one of the best we have ever seen.
A. Williams & Co. have just published an
account of the Celebration of the Centennial
Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, with
an Appendix containing a survey of the Litera-
ture of the Battle, its antecedents and results.
It is a volume of two hundred pages, contain-
ing a very full account of the celebration, with
the speeches, and is illustrated with heliotypes
of the scenes of the day. A. Williams & Co.
have in press Ballads of American History, an
illustrated volume of poems, by Miss Caroline
F. Orne, who will be remembered by many as
the author of the poem “Labor,” which has
been widely copied and published in several
languages. The new volume will have an
introduction by Lossing.
Henry L. Shepard & Co. have brought out
new editions.of a number of story-books for
boys and girls, under the name of the Amer-
ican Home Series. They comprise The School-
onaster's Stories, by Edward Eggleston, author
of The Hoosig, Schoolmaster ; The Young
Moose-Humters, by C. A. Stephens, author of
the Camping Out Series; and Her Mother’s
Fancy, by Theresa Oakey Hall. Although new
editions, they were brought out so late last fall
that they were not fully brought to the notice
of the trade, and the publishers concluded to
hold them over till this fall. Mr. Eggleston's
stories are full of interest for old or young.
The Young Moose-Hunters is written in Mr.
Stephens's best style, and without being ex-
travagant, is of a character to please the boys.
It gives the adventures of a number of school-
boys who go on a hunting excursion in the
wilds of Maine, to get the means for paying
their school expenses. Miss Hall’s book is for
younger children, giving the sayings and
doings of a pert little miss. It is unique in its
way, and deserves a place among the best books
of its kind. The three volumes are printed
on tinted paper, and prettily illustrated and
qound.
D. Lothrop & Co. have published some reli-
gious books of more than ordinary interest.
Among them I may mention Bible Pictures, a
large 12mo volume by the Rev. Dr. George B.
Ide, containing a series of talks suggested by
Bible texts, with eighteen illustrations from
Doré and other eminent artists; and the The Ea:-
cellent Woman, as described in the Book of Pro-
verbs, with an introduction by the Rev. Dr.
Wm. B. Sprague, and containing numerous
quaint illustrations. In a few days they will
have ready Word Pictures, a volume of ex-
cerpts from popular authors, compiled by
Gertrude Strohm. The volume is the result
of wide reading and patient research, for
hardly a single noteworthy English author
is omitted. It will be supplied with a full
index of subjects and one of authors.
Of juveniles, Lothrop & Co. offer for the
holidays a fine variety. The handsomest is
the first six numbers of the juvenile maga-
zine, Wide Awake, bound in one volume, to
which they have given the name of The Wide
Awake Pleasure Book. It makes a charming
book for the children, filled with delightful
reading and pretty pictures. Young Rick,
just issued, is a good story by Julia Eastman,
with six full-page illustrations. Of the little
illustrated books that are being printed, two
should not pass unnoticed; they are Little
Mother and Her Christmas ; and Papa's Boy,
both well told stories—the former by Phebe
McKeene, the latter by Mrs. C. E. K. Davis.
Of all the pretty Sunday-school books which
Cornhill has produced in the past or the pres-
ent, there are none finer than those to be
found at the store of Henry Hoyt, and as
Christmas approaches they are sure to be
sought for gifts. Of the newest issues I may
mention: Froggy's Little Brother, a reprint
from the English of an affecting story of a
little boy whose father had a Punch and Judy
show ; Mecca, a sprightly story of a summer in
the country, by F. H. North ; The Viking Heir,
an exceptionally good story, by the author of
Orient Boys, Sunshine Cottage ; and The House
at the Corner of Broad Street. They are all in
tasteful, ornamented bindings, and the pretty
illustrations add much to their attractions.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1, 1875.
Trade has greatly improved here during
the past few weeks, and our booksellers and
publishers are anticipating a good holiday
season. There will be but few books, however,
made especially for the holidays.
Of fine books in preparation, the first de-
386
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ G UIDE.
serving mention is Comtemporary Art, which
will be issued in a few weeks by J. B.
Lippincott & Co. It will be a richly-bound
quarto, containing thirty etchings and chro-
mo-lithographs of works of eminent artists
of the present time, with explanatory text.
For the holidays, also, Lippincott will pub.
lish a cabinet edition of Irving’s Sketch
Book, to contain all the illustrations of the
Artist’s Edition, to be published in one
volume. Portions of it will also be issued in
three separate volumes, the first to contain
Rip Van Winkle, the second the Christmas
Stories, and the third The Ilegend of Sleepy
Hollow and The Spectre Bridegroom. Holiday
editions of The New Hyperion and Scrambles
Among the Alps will also be issued. They
were in good demand last year, and will now
be put up in new and attractive bindings.
The success last year of the quarto holiday
edition of Allibone’s Poetical Quotations has
induced the publishers to bring out an edition
this year. The edition of last year was all
sold before the 1st of January.
Two other works, to be ready in a few
weeks, are also deserving of notice. They
are a new edition, in three volumes, of
Hazlitt's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the
Chiswick Press Edition, in ten volumes, of
Shakespeare's Works. The former will con-
tain one hundred steel-plate engravings,
including many recently purchased in Europe,
being originally copied from historical paint-
ings in the galleries of Paris and other
European cities. The Shakespeare will also
be illustrated with steel engravings by Smirk
and others. It will be a cheap and hand-
some portable edition, with reliable text and
explanatory notes.
The latest books from J. B. Lippincott &
Co. are: the Prose Miscellanies of Heim?'ich
Plečne, collected and translated here by S. L.
Fleishman; Wild Hyacinth, a new novel by
Mrs. Randolph, the author of Gentiamella ;
a volume of poetry entitled American Boy-
hood, by Judge Horace P. Biddle, of Indiana,
and a handy and valuable little treatise for
students on Punctuation, by Professor Joseph
A. Turner, of the Hollins Institute, Va. The
treatise is concise but complete, and has been
tested in the class-room by the author.
The most important book of the month
will be the English translation of the Comte
de Paris’ History of the Civil Wan in America,
the first volume of which is now nearly
ready by Jos. H. Coates & Co. The work is
edited by Prof. Henry Coppée, of the Lehigh
University. The translation has been done
by Mr. L. F. Tasistro, formerly of the State
Department at Washington. Its publication
here has been delayed so long that its char-
acter and importance are now well under-
stood. General Sherman speaks of it in the
most commendatory terms, and all who have
seen it in the French, praise it for its ability
and fairness. The author writes to the pub-
lishers as follows: “The necessities of an
early publication of the translation of my
History of the Civil War in America having
prevented me from revising that translation
before the present issue, I must leave upon
Mr. Tasistro the responsibility of his work ;
but his ability is a sufficient guaranty that
this work has been accomplished with care
and accuracy. It has therefore been agreed
between my publishers, Messrs. Lévy, and
myself to grant to the translation, since it
is to be published by yourselves, the exclu-
sive copyright in England, according to the
forms prescribed by international treaties,
and, in America, the right of giving out your
edition as the only one authorized by myself.
“My history has been written rather for
the instruction of the European public than
for transatlantic readers, to whom every in-
cident of the war is already familiar. I trust
that my account of these great events will,
at least, not provoke a too bitter controversy ;
for if I have been obliged to judge and to
censure, I have done so without any personal
or partial feeling against any one, with a
sincere respect for truth, and a keen sense of
the responsibility which I assumed. I hope,
moreover, that your readers will acknowledge
that I have tried to make Europe under-
stand the magnitude of the strife which
divided the New World, the extent of the sac-
rifices borne the American people, and the
beroism displayed by both sides on the bloody
fields of battle. I should be proud to have
my share in raising the monument which is
to perpetuate the memory of that heroism
and the glory of the American soldier, with-
out distinction between the blue and the gray
coats.”
J. H. Coates & Co. announce Canon Kings-
ley’s Lectures, delivered while in this country
in 1874. They are five in number, the sub-
jects being Westminster Abbey, The Stage as
it Was Once, The First Discovery of America,
The Servant of the Lord, and Ancient Civili-
zation. The lectures have not before been
collected, and the volume will be welcome to
a large number of readers.
The latest issues of Claxton, Remsen &
Haffelfinger are The Golden Tress, from the
French of Fortuné du Boisgobey, a highly
sensational novel, which runs to over four
hundred pages; and two smaller volumes, of
peculiar interest to a limited circle of readers.
The first is Thoo Thousand Years After, by
the author of Odd Hours of a Physician. It
is a continuation of Plato's Dialogue on the
Immortality of the Soul, introducing many of
the other mysteries of life, and discussing all
in the light of modern philosophy. The argu-
ment is that Immortality is not a necessary at-
tribute of the soul, but depends upon Godli-
ness. It is ingenious, if not able, and suggests
some puzzling thoughts. The other volume is
on Opium-Eating, written by a victim of the
habit. It is a simple, but straightforward nar-
rative, and evidently a truthful one. Not only
the effects of the drug, but the painful results

of trying to break the habit, are depicted with
harrowing distinctness.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have just ready
four new novels from Mrs. Henry Wood,
which they issue in their twenty-five cent
list of books. They are : Marrying Beneath
You?' Station ; My Cousin Caroline's Wedding;
Cyrilla Maude's First Love ; and The Self-Com-
victed. As long as Mrs. Wood continues to
write novels, she will have readers by the
thousand. She is always fertile in plot, vivid
in description, and exciting in incident. For
the holidays, the Petersons will issue new
editions of our old acquaintances, Beautiful
Snow ; The Outcast : Francis S. Smith's The
Young Magdalen, and other Poems ; and T. S.
Arthur's Sia, Nights with the Washingtonians,
and other Tales. Though not new, these books
are always salable during the Christmas sea-
son, and make appropriate gift-books.
THE New ENGLAND Booksellers'
f
Association.
The first regular meeting of this Associa-
tion, since its organization, was held at the
Parker House, Boston, Oct. 20th, the President,
Mr. A. Williams, of Boston, in the chair.
Mr. Williams addressed the Association in a
few encouraging remarks, showing the good
results already brought about by their rules,
not only in securing better prices in Boston,
but in protecting the local dealers of the
smaller towns throughout New England.
Mr. Merrill, of the Finance Committee, re-
ported that sixty-four names were on the roll
of members.
Mr. S. F. Nichols, of a sub-committee to ob-
tain signatures, reported that they had met
with great success. Nearly every bookseller
in Boston had joined the Association. The
entire trade of New England had been notified
and were expected to join.
Mr. J. L. Hammett, of the Arbitration Com-
mittee, submitted the following report, which
was adopted :
GENTLEMEN–So far as the observation of your Arbi-
tration Committee has extended, the object of this
Association has been in a great measure secured, and
although much remains to be done before bookselling can
be entirely rid of all the objectionable features which
bave for years attended it, still what has been gained
gives us reason to hope that the time is not far distant
when, realizing the justice of our cause, every member
of the trade will be a member of this Association.
Complaints of underselling have been numerous, espe-
cially during the first month of our existence; but on
writing a friendly note to the parties accused, in every
instance save one gentlemanly replies have been re-
ceived, and the parties have assured your committee
that they would hereafter be governed by regulation
prices. -
In the circular issued Aug. 20th, by the Executive
Committee of this Association, occurs the following:
“It is understood that the larger publishing and jobbiñg
houses will protect booksellers in their laudable efforts
to obtain fair and regular prices, and thus to realize a
reasonable profit on their sales.”
This statement seems so fair and just in all its bear-
ings, that your Committee can hardly realize how any
jobber, whether a member of this Association or not,
could wish to evade it, even though for the time being
he might sell a few more goods; and it is to be hoped
that what has been gained in the last few weeks in
securing uniformity will inspire the whole trade with
such confidence in each other, and in the success of the
right, that from this time forth all jobbers and all retail-
ers will adhere strictly to the legulation prices of this
Association. *
It is true that thus far the benefits of this Association
have been almost wholly to the retailer. It has taken
from Boston thousands of dollars of college, seminary,
academy, and public school trade, and turned it into
the hands of retailers all through New England; but in
the prosperity of these retailers is our future hope, and
the good done to them will, we trust, be like seed sown
on good ground, which will yet yield to us an abundant
harvest. *
In closing this report we would urge every jobber in
New England to adhere strictly to the rules of this Asso-
ciation without any mental reservation whatever, and
to sell goods to no man who persists in underselling.
after being once requested to desist; and we would urge
all retailers to stand by each other and see that under no
circumstances a greater reduction than 20 per cent. is
made from the publishers' retail prices, and in most
miscellaneous books full retail prices should be secured.
Then and not till then will bookselling be a business in
which bonest men will care to continue.

DANA ESTES, Committee.
Roston, Oct. 20, 1875.
Mr. Dana Estes, of Boston, offered the fol.
lowing, which, after some discussion, was
adopted :
Itesolved, That the advertising or retailing of books at
wholesale prices, or the giving of prizes to purchasers
of books, is an evasion of the spirit and letter of our
Constitution and By-Laws, and we call upon each and
every member of this and all auxiliary organizations,
whether jobbers, retailers, or publishers, to refuse to sell
to any person who thus violates this rule.

THE CENTRAL BooksellERS' Association.
At the meeting of the above Association, Oc.
tober 12th, the following resolution was offered
by Mr. Barnes, and adopted : &
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to
ascertain the facts with regard to the cases of alleged
underselling, and if such underselling is found to be prac
ticed, to request the parties in the name of this Associa-
tion to desist; and in case they refuse, to notify the pub-
lishers and jobbers of the books undersold, and request
them to withold further supplies from the offending deal-
ers, either directly or through jobbers, until they conform
to the resolutions of the Association; and this committee
are instructed to act in harmony with the Arbitration
Committee of the A. B. T. A. -
Messrs. Simmons, Lockwood, and Pratt were
appointed as such committee.
On"motion of Mr. Putnam, a committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. Putnam, Appleton, Lee, and
Ticknor, was appointed to co-operate with the
Centennial Committee of the A. B. T. A.
The following was offered by Mr. Putnam,
and adopted :
Resolved, That the attention of Messrs. Geo. A. Leavitt
& Co. be called to the regulation of the A. B. T. A. (un-
der whose auspices the book fairs are held), that none but
members of the A. B. T. A. can be permitted to contrib-
ute to, or to purchase at, the October and subsequent
fairs; and that the Secretary of the C. B. A. be instructed
to convey the resolution to Messrs. Leavitt. .
Mr. Clapp offered the following, which were
adopted:
IResolved, That the Secretary be instructed to reply to
the communications of Messrs. Bammett and Paul, to
the effect that the Association does not at present con-
sider it advisable to deal with the question of jobbing

THE Book FAIR. -
The “Supplementary'' Book Fair opened
on Thursday, Oct. 21st, and continued for one
week. The display of goods was much
smaller than at the July Fair, some of our
largest book houses not being represented.
The Stationery trade also were absent. There
was a very slim attendance of buyers, and the
Fair was not what may be termed a success.
The fact that it was not a success cannot be
used as, an argument in favor of the trade
sales of former years, nor do we think book
fairs cannot be made successful. There may
be special reasons why this particular fair
failed. The old notes of the July Fair have
not yet been paid. In the present condition
of trade booksellers hesitate to stock up, and
it is too early to buy for the holidays. These
and other reasons may be cited to account for
the lack of success of this particular fair.
But the present system is but an experiment,
and it is the duty of the committee, now that
it has been tried, to take into serious consid-
eration whether the plan of conducting the
fairs cannot be so modified as to give better
satisfaction to the trade. There are many ob-
jections to be made to the indorsement sys-
tem, and also to the commissions. If some
system can be devised by which the actual
expenses can be shared by those who sell, let-
ting each house make its own terms with its
buyers, would not both parties be better satis-
fied ? We hope the committee will lose no time
in getting the opinion of the trade on a mat-
ter so important, and will, if possible, fix upon
Some plan for the next fair that shali over-
come the present objectionable features.

THE ſ'ENTENNIAL.
A meeting of the Joint Committee on the
Centennial Exhibition appointed by the Niag-
ara Convention and the Central Booksellers'
Association, was held on Thursday, October
28th, at the store of Porter & Coates, Phila-
delphia. There were present Messrs. Lippin-
cott, Blakiston, Black, Coates, and Remsen, of
Philadelphia; Messrs. W. S. Appleton and
Geo. H. Putnam, of New York; Mr. B. F.
Ticknor, of Boston, and Mr. N. R. Monachesi,
representing the American Book Trade Asso-
ciation. The most important business trans-
acted was the appointment of a sub-committee,
consisting of Messrs. Blakiston, Remsen, and
Monachesi, to confer with the Centennial Com-
missioners as to the amount of space at the
disposal of the committee.
The report of the sub-committee was re-
ceived at a meeting held next day (Friday),
when it was decided that no applications for
space would be received later than November
10, 1875, and it will then be determined
what amount of space shall be asked for.
Applications for space should be sent in at
once to Iſenry T. Coates, Philadelphia, or to
N. R. Monachesi, New York.
JLITERARY AND TRADE JTEMs.
Dr. Patton, of The Advance, has nearly ready
for the press a volume on Prayer and its Re-
markable Answers.
Mr. N. R., Monacbesi, formerly of The Pub-
lishers’ Weekly, has taken charge of our adver-
tising department, and we commend him to
the courtesies of the trade.
C. P. Somerby will publish in a few weeks
a very original and suggestive work upon a
new subject—the Ultimate Generalization—
an effort in the philosophy of science.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have established an
agency in London, at 16. Southampton street,
where they will keep a full line of their pub-
lications and be generally represented.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have in
press a humorous burlesque on the Centennial
Exhibition, entitled One Hundred Years a
Republic—Our Show. It is illustrated by A. B.
Frost.
S. W. Tilton & Co., Boston, announce a
series of illustrated books for children, to
contain simple directions for wood-carving,
applied to the figures in the illustrations,
which are also adapted for painting.
The Rev. Rufus Wendell, of Albany, pub-
lishes by subscription an American edition of
Farrar's Life of Christ, with an appendix con-
taining translations of 491 passages cited by
Dr. Farrar from Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French,
German, and other foreign authors. &
Lockwood, Brooks & Co., Boston, will have
ready in a few days the bound volume of
“ Apples of Gold * for 1875. They have taken
great pains to make it a handsome and sub-
stantial juvenile, and it will no doubt be fav-
orably received. It will comprise about two
hundred pages, with numerous illustrations.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers bave in press
several new novels by Mrs. Henry Wood,
printed from advance sheets. Marrying Be-
meath You?' Station, Cyrilla Maude's First Love,
and My Cousin Caroline's Wedding, will be issued
immediately. Being at the low price of 25
cents, they will no doubt have a large sale.
Perkinpine & Higgins, Philadelphia, have
been compelled by the constant demand, to
issue new editions of Illustrative Gatherings
for Preachers and Teachers, both series of
which were out of print. The near approach
of the Sunday-school anniversaries has also
prompted a reissue of their Sunday-School Cel.
ebration Book, and The Anniversary Speaker.
The Presbyterian Board have published a
convenient little manual in cheap form, on
EIow) to Teach the Little Folks in Sabbath-school.
It coatains suggestions on the organization
and management of the Primary Department,
by J. Bennet Tyler; a paper on Methods in the
Class, by Mrs. G. R. Alden (Pansy); one on
Mission Schools, by Mrs. George Partridge;
and How to Teach an Infant Class, by Faith
Latimer. The papers are all practical, and
will do much good service in helping to fit
inexperienced teachers for their,work.

Henry A. Young & Co., Boston, have issued
new editions of Bayne's Christian Life; and
also Bayne's Essays in Biography and Criticism,
the latter in two volumes. Both works were
formerly in the list of Gould & Lincoln.
Boericke & Taffel have issued the first
volume of Analytical Therapeutics, by C. Her-
ing. The work is an attempt to collect and
arrange the facts established by the provings
of the Homoeopathic practice. It will be ex
tended to several volumes.
Boericke & Tafel have published the fourth
edition of Hale's Weto Remédies, a work of stand-
ard authority in Homoeopathy. In this edition,
the botanical, chemical, and pharmacological
notes appear in a condensed form ; other por-
tions have been rewritten, and new symptoms
and new remedies have been added. A new
volume is also added to the work, giving the
Therapeutics of each medicine. .
From Garrigues Bros., Philadelphia, we
have received Toward the Mark ; or, Grace
Allen's Aim, by Emma F. R. Campbell, a story
which follows the fortunes of the girls who
appear in Better than Rubies, after they leave
school, showing how they took up their several
crosses. It is an excellent little book to put
into the hands of a girl, when the carelessness
of girlhood is giving place to serious thought.
J. H. Coates & Co., Philadelphia, have in
press, by arrangement, the late Canon Kings.
ley’s Lectures Delivered in America in 1874.
They are edited by Mrs. Kingsley, and dedica-
ted to “Cyrus W. Field, J. A. C. Gray, and
all those valued American friends who wel-
comed my husband to their great country, and
through whose generous kindness he was en-
abled in the last year of his life to realize the
dreams of his youth by the sight, not only of
the Eastern States and cities, but of the far
west, the Rocky Mountains, and the Yo Semite
Valley.” -
Several years ago Mr. George W. Carleton
was seized with the belief that a burlesque of
the popular almanac, such as the Old Farmers’
Almanac to which New England pinned its
meteorological faith, would be remunerative.
He suggested the idea first to “Artemus
Ward,” afterwards to “Orpheus C. Kerr,”
and next to “ Doesticks,” but none of them
thought favorably of it. An arrangement
was at last made with “Josh Billings,” and
so the Almānaa, came 'about. Nearly 150,000
copies were sold the first year, and almost as
many since. Mr. Shaw is said to have re-
ceived $7,000 the first year, and over $30,000
in all.
General Sherman’s Memoin's have called out
many severe criticisms, but none that will
attract more attention in military circles than
the book by General H. V. Boynton, just
issued by Wilsfach, Baldwin & Co., Cincinnati.
The author served with distinction during the
war and was with Sherman’s army in its
famous march to the sea. In his preface, he
says: “The object of the present compilation
chiefly from the official records, is to show
wherein the Memoirs of General Sherman
fall far short of presenting the correct history
of many great events of which they treat ;
how much they lack of giving a correct ac-
count of incidents which they relate; how far
the author's recollection, even when corrected
by his own memoranda, is at fault ; and, to
furnish the future historian with facts which
will guard bim against perpetuating the
error and the injustice which prevade both
volumes of the work.” . .
At the time of his death Archbishop Spald-
ing was occupied in revising his works, with
the design of issuing them in a new and uni-
form edition. Those announced on another
page by John Murphy & Co., Baltimore, were
completed, the corrections and additions being
from his own hand. To the Evidences of
Catholicity he has added his “Pastoral Letter
on the Infallibility of the Pope,” and to the
History of the Reformation he has appended
an Article entitled, “Rome and Geneva.”

#onors to LoRD Houghton.
On Oct. 16th the Century Club of this city
gave a breakfast to Lord Houghton. Among
those present were Bayard Taylor, Whitelaw
Reid, R. H. Stoddard, E. C. Stedman, Parke
Godwin, Albert Bierstadt, J. Q. A. Ward, S. S.
Conant, Henry Holt, J. M. Harper, and Rev.
Dr. Bellows. William Cullen Bryant, the Pres-
ident of the Club, proposed the health of Lord
Houghton in a meat speech, and Lord
Houghton responded, closing his speech
as follows:
“And this brings me to say to you one pro-
fessional word respecting that art and nature
of poetry that you have been kind enough to
connect with my name. The greater portion
of the verses I have written were that
product of the lyrical period of youth which
is by no means uncommon among modern
civilization. It exhibits itself sometimes in
the strangest manner, without connection
with other culture, or even the most common
intellectual opportunities. Of this I happen
to have given to the world a single instance in
the volume I published of the poems of ‘David
Gray, a Scotch weaver-boy, who, without one
advantage beyond the common education of
his class, described all the nature within his
ken in the highest poetic perfection, and
passed away leaving a most pathetic record
of a short life of imaginative sensibility. You
can contrast this simple and wayside flower
of a faculty with such rich and complete
cultivation as it can assume in the efflores-
cence of Tennyson or Swinburne; but, in
whatever form you find it, do not the less
value the faculty itself. Permit me to Say
that in no condition of society can it be en-
couraged and fertilized more usefully than
among ourselves. For not only will it bring
with it calm and comfort amid all the Super-
abundant activities, ambitions, and confusions
of daily life, but it has also the regulative
power, teaching men to divide the sphere of
the imagination from that of practical life,
and thus obviating the dangers that so often
arise from the want of this distinctioh. There
is no better preservative than the exercise of
the poetic faculty from religious hallucina-
tions, from political delusions, and I would say
even from financial extravagances. Therefore,
through the whole vast range of this new
world, be on the watch to look out for and to
encourage this great gift to man. Do not be
too hard with any imperfections or absence of
refinement which may accompany its exhibi-
tion. Do not treat it too critically or with too
much scholastic censure. Recognize also its
value on another ground—the extension and
perpetuation of our great common language
—an interest not less dear to every one of us
here present than to the future welfare of
mankind :
“‘Beyond the vague Atlantic deep,
Far as the farthest prairies sweep,
Where mountain wastes the sense appal,
Where burns the radiant Western fal
Qne duty lies on old and young —
With filial piety to guard,
As on its greenest native sward.
The glory of the English tongue!
, “‘That ample speech, that subtle speech,
Apt for the needs of all and each,
Strong to endure, yet prompt to bend,
Wherever human feelings tend—
Preserve its force, expand its powers,
And through the maze of civil life,
In letters, commerce—e'en in strife,
Remember, it is yours and ours ''''
Three unsuccessful attempts having been
made to rob the book-store of Richard Burnton,
of Fourth Avenue, he wishes us to say that if
the burglars succeed in getting into his store,
he is fully prepared for them. If any of our
readers have any designs in that direction, we
warn them to desist. Perhaps the burglars,
being professionals, are incensed at having
their discounts cut down to twenty per cent.,
and are determined in future to get their books
for nothing.

disappointments: 1st.—It is contrary to all rules of business to supply goods, unless for cash or upon approved refer-
ence; therefore, when ordering, dealers should bear in mind that we must have one or the other. 2d.—In making

orders receive the same attention as large, and are as promptly forwarded. 6th.-We do not send New Papers and
Magazines on sale to those who specially order w8 not to do so, but do send all new publications to owr dealers, unless
they order us not to do so. . We believe their interests are promoted thereby. 7th.-We send New Books as soon as

To start a NEWS OFFICE, AGENCY, or DEPOT (as they are variously called), but little CASH capital is necessary.
The main things to secure success are enterprise and civility. You begin by studying our list of Publications, Magazines,
Newspapers, etc. You can readily judge which publications are likely to suit your neighbors. If they are not suited
with what you order, you can at once change to some other periodical. This is far preferable to the old style of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber was compelled to take one paper a whole year or lose the money he had paid in
advance. Upon finding out what papers you can dispose of, you make out a list or ofder (inclosing the wholesale price
per this list, to cover one week's papers) similar to this form

On its first appearance this History was recognized
by all branches of the Presbyterian family as a work of
eminent truthfulness and merit, and received the warm
commendation of their scholars and periodicals.
So far as the statements of facts are concerned, very
little change was required in the Revised Edition; but
what before Was asserted without qualification, as to .
the relation and action of the two parties in times of
controversy and division, has been so modified that the
party by whom such assertion was regarded as histori-
cally true or just. is alone made responsible for it.
other words, the historian has allowed each party to
speak for itself, representing its own views, while the
reader is left at liberty to draw his own conclusions.

From the Boston Globe. -
“It is by far the finest edition of the Decameron in English which has ever been given to the
public, and is a complete presentation of the great Italian story-teller, to whom literature has been
so much indebted for the last five hundred years. Lovers of the great Etruscan will find it altogether
the most satisfactory edition of the hundred tales to be found.”
From the Literary News. -
“These illustrations, exquisite in design and masterly in execution, more truthfully interpret
the spirit of Boccaccio's writings than any other designs ever published. Their character may be
best indicated by saying that they are freer from the grossness which characterizes the old illustra-
ted editions, and from the inanity which distinguishes the modern illustrated editions.”

RECENT BOOKS.
THE GOLDEN TRESS.
Translated from the French of Boisgobey. 12mo, cloth extra, $1.50. A French novel of the better
class, full of thrilling incidents.
Besides containing all the elements of a sensational story—love, adventure, and tragedy—it is entirely free
from the immodesty which is the great detriment of French novels.
TWO THOUSAND YEARS AFTER ;
Or, A Talk in a Cemetery. By JohN DARBY, author of “Thinkers and Thinking,” “Odd Hours
of a Physician,” etc. 12mo, cloth extra, $1.
This little brochure is a Metaphysical Book, in which Socrates and Cebes, and the other friends of the former
who assembled in the prison in which he was confined prior, to his execution, are made to hold a dialogue on the
Soul and the Nature of Man, based on the additional knowledge they are supposed to have derived from the inves-
tigation of Science since their death. ſe
OPIUM-EATING. º
An Autobiographical Sketch. By an Habituate. 12mo, cloth extra, $1.
The writer entered the army in 1861 as a Drummer-Boy, and was taken prisoner in l863. The horrors he suf-
fered at Andersonville and in other Southern prisons broke down his health, and he became addicted to the use of
opium. He gives minute descriptions of prison life, and more minute ones of the effects of the drug, and of his
struggles to overcome the habit of eating it. Without the graphic style of De Quincey, the book is still very well
written, and probably will give the reader truer ideas of an Opium-eater's sensations.
JONAH, The Self-willed Prophet.
A Practical Exposition of the Book of Jonah ; together with a Translation and Exegetical Notes.
By STUART MITCHELL. 12mo, 247 pp., cloth extra, $1.50.
We commend this book most heartily, as not only an instructive and devout exposition, but as exceedingly
good reading. Without ambitious aim, in very quiet and simple movement, but with decided art, the picture of
Jonah's flight, sufferings, confession, and return, are made to pass before the reader with somewhat the freshness
of a new story, and with the depth and power of a great moral argument. t &

*...* The splendid success of the various works of M. Lacroix, on the “Manners, Customs, and
Lress during the Middle Ages, and during the Renaissance,” suggested the preparation of a work of a
siniilar character, on the “Institutions, Manners, and Dress, in France, during the Eighteenth Cen-
tury.” This sumptuous volume is a brilliant exhibition of every grade of life and society in France,
from 1700 to 1789. The work is illustroited with twenty-one full-page. CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHS
richly colored, and 350 BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS ON wood. These illustrations are copied with the
utmost care from the original paintings of the best and most esteemed artists of the Eighteenth Cen-
tury, and in beauty of design, exquisite finish, and the real interest of their subjects, far surpass any
similar productions. The typographical excellence, and elaborate and appropriate binding, combined
with its intrinsic literary and artistic value, render it one of the richest volumes ever published.

“It will not be likely to disappoint the Americal
public. It is the production of an intelligent European
of clear and comprehensive views, familiar with the
details of the military profession, with uncommon
facility of language and power of description, free from
all personal and partisan biases, and with the habit of
philcsophic calmness and impartiality.”—New York
Tribune.
“It becomes continually clearer that this is destined
to be the generally received history of the war. It will
be deservedly so, for the author, by virtue of being a
foreigner, has an impartiality which it would be Tºri
for one of us to acquire; he has a satisfactory knowledge
of both the great principles and the minutiae of the

thoroughness and accuracy. More than this, he is so

is ºn for sharp censure for his inaction in October,

That river-valley

From lips of maid or throat of bird;

Upon the loveliest face of all.

THE Hook MARKET
Nºw York, Dec. 1, 1875.
Our reports from different sections of the
country indicate that business has not fallen
behind that of the corresponding month of
last year, with the exception rerhaps of New
England, which has suffered most in all
branches of business from the prevailing dull-
ness. In most of the Western towns, how-
ever, business has been better than in the
corresponding period of the two previous
years. On the whole, a fair amount of
business has been done, but it has been
unequally distributed, and does not em-
brace, as in good seasons, all classes of books.
Trade manuals and what are generally classed
as industrial books have been in little or no
demand, and the sale of medical books has
been comparatively light. On the other hand,
the law-book trade has been far from dull,
and the sale of school-books has probably
exceeded that of last year. The cheap novels
have suffered, but fiction of the better class
is in almost as good demand as ever.
Publishers have been unremitting in their
efforts to suit the tastes of the public, and
have exercised more than usual care and dis-
Cretion in selecting the material to be put in
book-form. The result is apparent in the
improved character of the new issues. Al-
though publishers have rejected a large
amount of manuscript, which in ordinary
times would be considered good, and reprints
are fewer than usual at this season, there is
little or no apparent diminution in the num-
ber of miscellaneous books issued during the
month; but the announcements of forthcoming
books are certainly lighter than is usual for
the last month of the year. It is notable that,
while the larger publishing houses, from
whom we expect long lists of announcements
at this season, are printing fewer books than
ever, the smaller publishers are issuing a
greater number than usual. They are all,
however, issuing small editions, large sales
of a single book being very rare exceptions
to the rule.
The new holiday books are few in number,
especially those of a costly character. There
is no lack, however, of fine books to suit the
tastes of all classes of Christmas buyers.
Many of the issues of last year were published
so late that they could not be fairly brought
to the attention of the public, and the edi-
tions now printed are as valuable for Christ-
mas stock this year as the newer books. Of
the few new gift-books there is much to be
said in praise, and they will compare favor-
adly with the holiday issues of former years :
the illustrated juveniles are at least as well
suited to delight the children, as the best of
the efforts heretofore made in that line of
book-making. Descriptive notices of them
will be found on another page.
Despite the preparations of the publishers,
but very few orders for holiday stock have
yet been received. Of the prospects for a
good trade in most localities there can be but
one opinion. The oldest bookseller never
saw a dull holiday season, and the experi-
ences of many go to prove that it is all the
better for the book trade when there is a
general depression in business, and a deter-
mination on the part of the public to econo-
mize. Whether this be true or not, it is cer-
tainly true that ten dollars will go farther in
purchasing books as appreciative gifts than
in any other suitable goods. In good times
people look for more costly articles; in close
times they are apt to be attracted to the book.
sellers' counters, where presents for old and
young can be secured at comparatively trifling
cost. A book is always an appropriate gift
and is always cheap, for it possesses a value
beyond its cost in dollars and cents, depend-
ent only upon the tastes and relations of the
donor and the recipient.
It rests with the bookseller to emphasize
these facts and bring them to the notice of
searchers for gifts. To do this, he should
make his store, if possible, as attractive as
any in the town. He should advertise by
circulars and in the newspapers, and use
every means in his power to bring his stock
to the notice of the public. Above all, he
should be thoroughly posted, so as to be able
to meet the requirements and tastes of all
classes of buyers. Of course, he must have
the stock, and there is a danger that the
carefulness in ordering, which the depression
of the past two years has taught, will, at
this season, prevent many from being pre-
pared for the demand when it comes. Orders
should not be extravagant, but they should
be liberal, and the nature of the trade should
determine the character of the books to be
ordered. Orders should also be placed in
time. There are many good books of which
only small editions have been printed, and if
they are ordered too late, the sale of a second
or third edition will be lost to both publisher
and bookseller.

FINE Holiday Rooks.
D. Appleton & Co. offer two new books
that are especially noteworthy. Taey are The
Eighteenth Century, by Paul Lucroix, and
English Poets, by Joseph Gastwick. The fi st
is a heavy octavo, containing a score of chro-
mos, lithographs, and three hundred and fifty
wood engravings, which have been repro-
duced under the supervision of M. Racinet.
from the most noted artists of the period em-
braced by the book. Of the text it is only
necessary to say that it is as thorough and as
interesting as the author’s previous works on
the Middle Ages.
those volumes which induced the author to
bring his work down to more modern times,
and we know of no other single volume which
contains so in uch information of the habits
and customs, the arts and industries of the
people of the eighteenth century. The author
of the twelve essays on the English Poets is the
author of German Poets. The volume contains
portraits of the most noted writers of English
poetry. Besides these, ID. Appleton & Co.
offer new editions of the beautiful Midsummer
JWight’s Dream, Japan and the Japanese, and
other elegant books, which are already well
known to the trade. They have also printed
a large paper edition of the Life and Letters
of Fitz-Greene Halleck, which is limited to a
hundred copies, and a hundred and fifty large
paper copies of his Poetical Works; they are
very elegant, and will soon become rare. The
Edina Edition of Burns's Poems and Songs is
very handsome, and is the only quarto edition
of the kind in the market.
, Of Juveniles, D. Appleton & Co. have a
new fairy story-book, entitled Higgledy Pig-
gledy, by the charming writer for children,
lº. Rºnatchbull-Hugessen. The character of
the volume may be inferred from the follow-
ing, taken from the author's preface. He
says: “In the six stories which it contains
there are jumbled together witches, jack-
daws, fairies, pigs, mermaids, magistrates,
dwarfs, cock-pheasants, and a great variety
of other creatures who do not usually consort
together, and could only have been brought
into the same book by those wondrous pow-
ers of magic which confuse and confound the
common order of nature.” The Duty After the
Iſolidays is Hope’s Annual for 1875–6. It has
unique comic illustrations by Phiz, Jr.
Robert Carter & Brothers offer for the
children of all ages a fine selection of little
story-books, arranged in series and put up in
meat boxes. Those designed for the younger
children are especially worthy of commend-
ation. They are for the most part pretty
stories told in simple language, and although
religious in tone, are without sectarian bias,
and great care is exercised to make them free
from slang or any objectionable language.
Robert Clarke & Co. have put Mr. Henry T.
Stanton’s late volunie, Jacob Brozcº &nd Oth 7.
1’vems, into fine morocco binding, and it makes
It was the great success of
an appropriate gift-book. It comprises the
author’s latest poems, some of which display
a quaint originality and real poetic genius.
The same publishers will have ready in a few
days an eley ant edition of the Poems of
George D. Prentice, compiled and edited by
Mr John J. Piatt, between whom and the
author existed the warmest friendship for
many years. The volume will be a welcome
addition to our list of holiday books.
Christmas in Sonſ, and Story, to be published
in a few days, by J. Cockcroft & Co., New
York, is an interesting collection of the poetry
and stories relating to Christmas, compiled
from muny languages by Mr. P. L. Gage, whose
long connection with the book trade of this
country has made him many warm friends.
In p eparing this book, which is the first of
the kind that has ever been attempted here,
he has received valuable assistance from Mr.
Hen.ry W. Longfellow and other distinguished
writers. The volume will be elegantly printed
and bound.
E. P. Dutton & Co. have ready new editions
of Mrs. Sanford’s beautifully illustrated
juveniles of last year—H'risk and IHis Flock,
and Pussy Tºp Toes Fºtºmily, and also of the
same author's little Rose Dale books, contain-
ing stories in large type and mostly in words
of one sy}lable. In writing for the little
ones, Mrs. Sanford is unexcelled, and the first
two books mentioned above are among the
prettiest ever made in this country. The
stories, too, are as pleasing as the pictures.
Dutton & Co. offer a holiday edition of
Faber's beautiful hymns, in calf and morocco
bindings, making a very pretty presentation
volume.
J. B. Ford & Co. have made no new
volumes for Christmas, but have printed new
editions of the delightful stories of pet ani-
mals by Grace Greenwood, and also of Ray-
mond’s Man in the Moon. Both are well cal-
culated to please the children. These pub-
lishers have in press a little volume of
Christmas stories by Harriet Beecher Stowe,
entitled Betty’s Bright Idea, and Other Stories.
S. C. Griggs & Co. were early in the field
with one of the most attractive books of the
year—Benjamin F. Taylor’s Songs of Yester-
day, being vivid and touching pictures, in
verse, of incidents and scenes of the near
past. In dealing with the old-fashioned life
and customs of the past generation, Mr.
Taylor's bright and flowing verse finds an
almost universal response of sympathy, and
there are few writers in prose or poetry who
can so delicately and so affectionately recall
the home-life of the past. The artists have
admirably succeeded in catching the fancy of
the poet, and we have rarely seen a volume
so appropriately illustrated. The publishers
have also ready new red-line and full-gilt
editions of Mr. Taylor’s last year’s book, Old-
Time Pictures. They have aiso published, in
a dair,ty little quarto volume, The J/yth of
Stone Idol, an Indian love-legend in verse, by
THE AMERICAN BookSELLERS GUIDE.
433
Professor Wm. P. Jones, late President of the
Northwestern Female College.
A. F. Graves's list includes some very suita-
ble books for children. The Daisy Daie books
are little 18mos containing short illustrated
stories for youngest readers. The Choice Li-
bary comprises books of short stories for
children a little older, and the Aunt Bertha
Series and the Eddie Ellerslie Series are longer
stories which will interest adults Some of
these books will be recognized as old favor-
ites a in new dress; others are entirely new.
Wm. F. Gili & Co. have ne Irly ready
J/turel Leaves, a companion volume to Lotos
Leaves, brought out last season. The illus-
trations, which will number many more than
those in last year's volume, are by our best
artists, made especially for this book, and the
contributors include our imost distinguished
writers. The contributions comprise poems,
stories, and essays, many of them never haw-
in ºr been printed here before, including those
from Tennyson, Kingsley, and Swinburne.
Gill & Co. have imported an edition of a
finely illustrated quarto of Ilistorical and
Legendary Ballads and Songs, collected from
the Norse and other out-of-the-way sources,
and many of them rare. The volume contains
over two hundred illustrations by eminent
artists. Gill also announces two lower-priced
books made especially for the gift season—the
first entitled Golden Treasures of Poetry, Ro-
mance, and Art, the other The Horn of
Plenty. Both are collections—Golden Treas-
7tres containing stories and poems by favorite
authors, with fifty illustrations, and . The
IIorn of Plenty containing Home Poems
and Pictures by Miss Alcott, Jean Ingelow,
and others. This volume is also profusely
and very finely illustrated. A new edition
of Lotos L (tº es is also printed.
Henry Hoyt's list of new juveniles include
many that are especially suitable for gift-
books, of which we may mention the new
Picture Library of five fifty-cent volumes,
with a complete sketch or story on every al-
ternate page, and an illustration opposite.
He has also put The New Picture Readong-Book
into new covers which are tasteful and pretty,
and the cheaper little books of the Little
Folks Library, the Little Home Library, and
the Welcome Library, have been much im-
proved by new bindings. The Rev. P. C.
Headley’s new volume on the Evangelists in
the Church has been put into meat drab cloth,
with full gilt sides and gilt edges. It is the
only book of the kind now published, and is
embellished by sixteen portraits of noted
preachers. -
Henry Holt & Co. will make no new holiday
books this year, but will offer new editions of
J. Safford Fiske’s A Tour Through the 1 yre.
7tées, with Doré's illustrations, and of Mr. C-
H. Jones's Ver's de Société, which was one of
the most elegant of last year's books.
Harper & Brothers have ready three new
books, which, though not high-priced, are
elegant and appropriate gift-books. They are
Songs of our Youth, set to music, which was
issued some weeks ago, Miss Johnson’s Cats-
Kill #'airies and Farm Legends, by Will Carle-
ton. No one who has heard of Fam’m Ballads,
and who has not—need be told the character
of Will Carleton’s new book. Of the Ballads
2arly fifty thousand copies have been sold,
and of the Legends several editions have
already been disposed of. The Farm Ballads
will also be offered this year. Miss Johnson
has shown as much skill in writing of The
Catskill Fairies as she displays in her deline-
ations of humanity in her novels. The fairies
of her book are not those hideous beings who
appeared to Rip Van Winkle, but are of a
much more agreeable sort, and as light and
airy as the fairy creations of Shakespeare.
The dainly illustrations, by Alfred Fredericks,
are all that could be desired for such a book,
and will charm the children and amuse the
older folks. The Harpers have on their list
..many other books for children, that are in-
instructive as well as pretty.
Lee & Shepard have issued, under the title
of The Great Bo wanza, a collection of wonder-
ful adventures in hunting, fishing, mining,
and other fields of danger, mostly American.
They are all by popular writers, and the col-
lection is the best ever published in one
volume of stories of this character. The book
contains two hundred illustrations, and is put
in showy binding. Running the Blockade is a
book somewhat similar in character, being an
account of adventures in the secret service of
the United States during the war, by W. H.
Thomes, who tells some very strange and start
ling stories. It is illustrated, and is finely
printed and bound. It has heretofore been
sold by subscription, but is now offered to the
trade at a reduced price. Lee & Shepard are
printing several other books which will claim
the attention of holiday buyers, the prettiest
eing Neurer, My God to Thée, containing the
beautiful hymn, with exquisite illustrations
by Miss L. B. Humphrey. Though but a lit-
tle quarto, it will be one of the most attractive
books of the year. For the children, Lee &
Shepard offer The ſtour footed Looers, delight-
ful stories of animals, printed in large type
and fully illustrated. Both stories and
pictures are sure to please the juvenile read-
ers. Mr. George M. Baker has prepared a
new volume similar in style to his Bullads of
Beauty of last year. It will be issued under
the title of B llads of Home, as a companion
volume to that of last season, which had a
large sale.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. publish a cabinet ed-
ition of Irving's Sketch Book, reduced in price
to six dollars, in cloth. They also issue por-
tions of the Sketch Book in three separate vol-
umes, the Christmas Stories, Sleepy IIollow, and
Ičip Van Winkle. These are all beautifully
printed, with the original illustrations, and
a e very attractive and comparatively cheap.
One of the most noteworthy of tie new high-
434
THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
priced books of this season is Lippincott’s
Contemporary Art, containing thirty etchings
and chromo-lithographs after the origina
works of the most eminent artists of to-day,
accompanied by explanatory text. Messrs.
Lippincott & Co. have made arrangements to
bring out here, under the title of The Orpham
of Pimlico, and Other Sketches, Fragments, and
Drawings, by Thackeray—a genuine “Thacker-
ayana,” indorsed by the author's family and
edited by his daughter. No drawings are se-
lected but those that are known to be Thack-
eray's, and they are copied by a process that
will faithfully reproduce them. The volume
will be a handsome royal quarto, most suita-
ble for the holiday season. Allibone's Prose
Quotations should not be overlooked by the
lovers of fine books, it being one of the hand-
somest and most valuable books of the year.
Lockwood, Brooks & Co. will issue Silhou-
ettes in Art and Song, to contain unique illus-
trations in silhouette of the twelve months
of the year, with original poems. It will be
issued as an oblong folio, in pretty covers.
An a ditional interest will attach to the Vol-
ume from the fact that the designs are en-
tirely the work of a child of thirteen years.
This firm will also issue in a few days, under
the title of An American in Iceland, the Jec-
tures of Dr. Samuel Kneeland on Iceland, all
revised and rewritten for publication. The
book will be nicely printed, with many il! us-
trations, and will not be an inappropriate gift-
book. Fairy Bells and What They Tolled Us, the
collection of fairy tales translated from the
German, is an excellent book of the kind for
children, and Apples of Gold, with its large
type and pretty pictures, Will afford delight to
the younger readers.
D. Lothrop & Co., Boston, have many new
and very attractive juvenile books just ready.
Among them we notice Young Rick, by Julia
A. Eastman, printed on the finest calendered
paper, and with six large full-page illustra-
tions by Sol Eytinge; the price, one dollar, is
remarkably low. Papa's Boy, by Mrs. C. E.
K. Davis, with eleven original illustrations
by Jessie Curtis, is another fresh and charm-
ing book. The Little Mother and her Christmas,
by Phebe F. McKeen, fully illustrated by G.
G. White, is very pretty. Word Pictures and
Bible Pictures are finely printed, with pretty
illustrations, and the fine edition of The Ec-
cellent Woman, with gilt sides and edges,
makes an attractive religious book for older
readers.
J. R. Osgood & Co.'s contribution to fine
Holiday stock is, as usual, an important one.
First on the list is Whittier's poem, Mabel
Martin, in a volume uniform with the Hang-
&ng of the Crame, the beautiful illustrations
being furnished by Miss Hallock and Mr.
Thomas Moran. It is sufficient praise of it to
say that it will favorably compare with its
companion volume of last year. Two elegant
heliotype volumes are in preparation—En-
gravings from Landseer, and Child-Dîfe in Pic-
tures. The first will contain faithful reproduc.
tions of twenty-four of the best works of the
famous painter of animal life, and an extended
essay on his life and works. The other wo'-
ume will contain the same number of plates
from Correggio, Murillo, Raphael, and other
celebrated painters of children and child-life
Mrs Shedd’s Famous Painters and Paintings'
just issued, also deserves a place among our
finest art-books, being illustrated with helio-
types of engravings after Raphael, Titian. and
other old masters. Poetic Docalities of Cam-
bridge, issued a month or more ago, will com-
mend itself to all admirers of the beautiful in
literature or art. The captivating Adventures
of Captain Hattéras, by Jules Verne, with its
many illustrations, makes a holiday volume
of no ordinary merit, and for younger readers.
Mrs. Diaz' Story-Book for the Children will
prove attractive, and Trowbridge's The Young
Surveyor will please the boys. A holiday edi-
tion of Whittier's Songs of Three Centuries will
be ready in a few days.
The list of T. B. Peterson & Bros. con-
tains a number of fine books, which are always
in demand at this season. The illustrated
edition of Beautiful Snow will never be too
old for Christmas times, and Mr. Francis S.
Smith's The Young Magdalem, and other
poems, in the rich dress of the publishers, has
lost none of its popularity. Arthur's Sia, Nights
with the Washingtonians still looks as attract-
ive as many of our newer acquaintances, and
Aunt Patty's Scrap-Book, by Mrs. Carolina Lee
Hentz, with Darley's illustrations, is one of
the most fascinating of our juvenile story-
books.
Roberts Brothers give us one of the finest
volumes of the season in Jean Ingelow's
The Shepherd Lady, containing also eight other
little poems hitherto uncollected. The poem
which gives the title to the volume portrays
the work and faithfulness of the Christian
church, and has three full-page illustrations
by Arthur Hughes, who also furnishes a de-
sign for “Above the Clouds,” Mary A. Hal-
lock's two designs for the little poem “Fail-
ure " are gems of art, and the other illustra-
tions, of which there are eighteen altogether,
by J. A. Mitchell, W. L. Sheppard, G. Perkins,
F. O. C. Darley and Sol Eytinge, are of an ex-
cellence rarely seen within the covers of a
book. The volume is superbly printed, and
contains a steel portrait of Jean Ingelow. It
will be considered by many the most attrac-
tive new book of the season. Hamerton’s Syl.
van Year is a delightful rambling talk of life
in the woods, by a poet-artist. It is named on
the title-page “Leaves from the Note-Book of
Raoul Dubois,” a fictitious character, sug-
gested, the author tells us, by the “Obermann’’
of De Sénancour, though quite a different
character, as the author takes pains to show.
He says, while the dominant note of “Ober-
mann’’ was ennui, this narrative is intended
to exhibit the value of external nature as a
refreshment to a spirit which, though it had

suffered greatly, has still strength enough to
take a hearty and healthy interest in every-
thing that comes within the circle of its obser-
vation. The text is charmingly Bohemian,
and the twenty etchings, most of them by
Hamerton himself, are very fine. Roberts
Bros. will have Etchings and Etchers ready at
an early day. It is a book for artists and lov-
ers of art, and it will possess an interest for
even the most moderate lover of pictures. It
goes over the work of many of the artists, crit-
icising and describing, and throwing in much
pleasant chat. It is illustrated with etched
copies.
Scribner, Armstrong & Co. offer Frank R.
Stockton's Tales out of School, with its three
hundred illustrations; and the three parts of
Jules Vernes “Mysterious Island,” entitled
respectively Dropped from the Clouds, Ahan-
doned, and The Secret of the Island. The first
is one of the best of our new books for the
young, both in appearance and in interest.
Jules Verne's wonderful writings are too well
known to need a word of description or praise.
Henry T. Williams has published, under the
appropriate title of Household Elegancies, an
illustrated volume on Home Decorations.
The book is not only pretty, but will prove of
great value to every lady who takes an interest
in beautifying and making pleasant her home.
It is prepared by Mr. Williams and Mrs C. S.
Jones, and is a practical manual for wax
work, leather work, worsted work, transpa-
rencies, and a hundred other arts suitable for
ladies. With it. for a guide, a lady need
never want pleasant occupation.
The pretty little book, Seven Autumn Leaves
from Fairy-Land, first published by A. Wil-
liams & Co. two years ago, has been reprinted
in London by H. S. King & Co. It is a book of
fairy stories, by a well-known business man of
Boston, illustrated by etchings by his wife,
though neither the name of the author nor
that of the artist appears on the title-page.
A. Williams & Co. offer the book again this
year.
JLITERARY AND TRADE JTEMs.
Thompson, Brown & Co., Boston, have near.
ly ready a new edition of the American Union
Speaker, at the reduced price of $2.
Robert Carter & Bros. are issuing a new
library edition, in good style, of Hugh Miller's
works. The last printed is Footprints of the
Creator, with Agassiz' memoir of the author.
Mr. McGahan, who accompanied the Arctic
expedition in the “Pandora,” is preparing an
account of the voyage, which will be published
under the title of Under the Northern Lights.
The unusual interest in coins has induced
T. B. Peterson & Bros. to issue a new
edition of their Complete Coin Book, which
contains fac-simile impressions of all the
coins of the world, and is the best book of the
kind published. -
Mrs. Henry Wood's novel, Parkwater, lately
published by the Petersons, must be an un-
usually good one. It is running in the New
York Weekly, under the title of Educated
Above Her Station.
The volume of devotional thoughts, found-
ed on the promises of the Bible, The Faithful
Promiser, is published in large type for aged
readers, by Henry Hoyt, Boston. This is the
only large-type edition published.
Gebbie & Barrie, of Philadelphia, have im-
ported a new edition of Boccacio’s Heptum-
eron, with eight etchings by Flameng, in the
same style as those in the Flameng edition
of the Decam rom brought out last spring.
The last chapters of the late Vice President
Wilson’s work on the Rise and Fall of the
Slave Power were being written at the time of
the distinguished author's death, and the
material for its completion is in the hands of
his secretary.
Lee & Shepard have collected and publish-
ed, under the title of Im Doors and Out, some
of the first domestic stories of Oliver Optic.
They have long been out of print, and well de-
serve to be reprinted in the handsome style of
the new volume. •
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have just
published, under the title of One IJundred
Years After—Our Show, a humorous descrip-
tion of the Centennial. It is very amusing,
being full of happy hits on notable people.
The comic cuts are by A. B. Frost.
Carleton & Co. have in press a humorous
account of a Yacht Cruise last winter, by W.
P. Talboys. It is entitled West India Pickles.
Carleton is also printing The Miller of Silcott
Mill, by Mrs. Marie Darrington Deslonde, who
is announced as “a well-known New Orleans
society belle.”
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have just issued
a new revised and enlarged edition of Franca-
telli's Cook-Book, of English, French, German
and Italian cookery. The volume has sixty-
two illustrations, and is one of the largest
and most complete cook-books in the market.
It should have a large sale.
Mr. John Farrell, who for many years has
been known in New York business circles,
has been appointed business agent of the
printing and publication department of the
New York Catholic Protectory. Mr. H. D.
Monachesi, late city editor of the New York
Daily Bulletin, has also become connected with
the same institution.
Mr. Charles Sotheran, of the Bibliopolist, has
written a book on the poet Shelley as a philos-
opher and reformer, which is to be published
in a few weeks by Chas. P. Somerby. Although
much has been written of Shelley as a poet,
his life has never before been presented as
that of a thinker and a worker for the benefit
of humanity. The little volume now being
printed will contain a sonnett on Shelley, by
C. W. Frederickson, the well-known collector
of Shellyana, and will be embellished by a
portrait, and a view of his tomb at Rome.

THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS’ GUIDE.
H. O. Houghton & Co. have purchased from
J. B. Ford & Co. the plates of Knight's Mechan-
ical Dictionary. The issue of this admirable
work, which has already cost Ford & Co. up.
wards of $75,000, has been suspended for some
months, and will be immediately resumed in
numbers by the Riverside Press.
J. W. Bouton has published, with some al-
ferations and additions, a translation from the
French of M. Antony Real’s Story of the St. J.,
Žn All Aſſes and Lands. We cannot fully
agree with the author that “the story of the
stick is the story of civilization,” but he has
Certainly made a readable volume, which
throws not a little light upon the history of
mankind.
The last book in the hands of the late Vice-
President was a copy of Mr. Randolph's The
Changed Cross. The volume formerly belonged
to his wife, and contained a photograph of her
and their deceased son. He treasured the lit-
tle book very highly, and at midnight before
his death, took it from his table, and to relieve
his restlesness read a page or two of its beauti-
ful verses.
A Quaker Among the Indians, long ago an-
nounced, but first published by Lee & Shep-
ard, is a straightforward story of life among
Our troublesome wards, by one who spent
Some time among the Caddoes as a teacher,
and afterwards lived among the Kiowas. The
Indian question is always an interesting one
to thinking people, and this honest volume
Will attract much attention.
Gardening for Pleasure, just issued by the
Orange Judd Company, will prove of interest to
many readers. The author, Peter Henderson,
the well-known seedsman, aims to make it
useful to the occupant of a city lot or the po-
sessor of a few house-plants, as well as to the
resident of the country—and he has succeeded
admirably. Mr. Henderson's previous works
On gardening have had an immense sale.
G. P. Putnam’s Sons have just issued Eng-
lish IRadical Leaders, the second volume of
their admirable series of Brief Biographies.
It is prepared by R. J. Hinton, and, like Mr.
Higginson's English Statesmen, it contains the
information usually sought for through many
volumes. French Leaders, by Edwaid King,
will follow shortly, and Mr. Herbert Tuttle's
volume on German Political Leaders is in prep-
a Tat 10th.
Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati, promise
this month a History of the Army of the Cum-
berland, by Thomas B. Van Horne, U.S.A., iſ-
lustrated by twenty-two campaign and battle
maps, by Edward Ruger. The work was writ-
ten at the request, and largely under she su-
pervision of Major-General George H. Thomas.
Gen. Thomas directed the historian to “write
nothing but the truth,” and the author informs
us in his preface, that “the materials for the
work were mainly collected and supplied by
Gen. Thomas, which gave him as close a relation
to it as was possible without direct author-
faithful narrative of the achievements of that
noble and successful army. It will be received
as a valuable addition to our historical litera-
ture, and will be of special interest at this
time, when the history of military operations
is receiving so much attention.
Messrs. Chase & Hall, of Cincinnati, have
recently purchased from R. W. Carroll & Co.
the stereotype plates of Living Pulpit of the
Christian Church, Scheme of Redemption, and
Reason (tnd Revelation, by R. Mulligan; Life
of John Smith, by J. A. Williams; Walks
About Jerusalem, Talks to J3ereſtºns, Plan of
Salº) ution, and Our Position, by Isaac Errett.
New editions of all these books will soon be
issued, -
D. Appleton & Co. have imported a small
edition of George Hart’s book on The Vivlin.
It treats at length of the famous makers and
their imitators; of the history of the violin
from the earliest times; of the Italian, French,
German, and English schools, etc. The vol-
unne contains engravings from photographs of
the instruments of Stradivarius, Guarnerius,
Amati, and others; the frontispiece being a
cut of the famous violin of Pagamini.
Henry Holt & Co. have issued Taine’s Lec-
tures on Art, which completes their uniform
edition of all of M. Taine’s works which have
been translated into English, and all that he
has written upon the subject of art. Taine is
now engaged upon the first volume of an in-
tei ded series on the influences which have de-
veloped the present state of French society
aud politics. The first work upon the Ancien
Régime will probably be ready early next year.
Baker, Davis & Co., the successors to T. Fll-
wood Zell, are issuing a new revised edition
of Zell’s Encyclopedia in fifty-cent parts, ten
of which have been published. This edition
will contain eighteen double-page colored
maps. The same firm are preparing an illus-
trated edition of Shakspeare, to be issued in
twenty parts. It is to be edited by Geo. L.
Duyckinck, and when complete will be bound
in one volume. It will be in larger type than
any other one-volume edition. -
G. P. Putnam’s Sons have in press a liter-
ary curiosity in the shape of a Japanese ro-
mance, entitled Chimshingºtra ; or, The Loyal
League, translated by Fred. V. Vickins, with
notes and ºn appendix, containing a metrical
version of “The Ballad of Takasago,” and speci-
mens of the original text in the Japanese char-
acter, illustrated by numerous full-page tinted
plates, drawn and engraved by Japanese ar-
tists, and printed on Japanese paper. This
romance, which is founded on an historical epi-
sode, is especially interesting and valuable for
the light it throws upon the manner of thought
aud life in Japan, and upon the degree to
which devotion to the clan and to the clan
chieftain absorbs all other affections and inter-
ests. The Putnams also announce that they
will publish, in connection with Messrs. Rein-
wald & Co., of Paris, The Library of Contem-
ship.” We may therefore feel assured that it is a porary Science, the volumes of which will be

issued simultaneously in Paris, London, Leip-
sic, and New York. The first volumes an-
nounced are Linguistics, by A. Hovelacque ;
Biology, by Prof. Letourneau; as:d Anthropology,
by Dr. Paul Topinard.
A. Williams & Co., Boston, have just pub-
lished for the author, Mr. J. R. Monroe, editor
of the Seymour (Ind.) Times, a volume of
Dramas and Miscellaneous Poems. Some of
the dramas are quite original in conception,
and they all have merit. One of them, en-
titled, “Will Cobbett's Vision ; or, The Devil
and Tom Paine,” was written, the author
tells us, when he was in his teens. Some of
the others have been printed be "ore, but have
never been collected in a volume.
Jansen, McClurg & Co , Chicago, announce
for immediate publication, a short, fresh and
delightful story by Mary Murdoch Mason,
called Mae Madden. The scene of the story
is laid in Italy, though most of the characters
are Americans. As a fascinating love-story, it
will be presented to the public with the cer-
tainty of winning their approbation. The vol-
ume opens with a fanciful and beautiful intro-
ductory poem, A Dream of Italy, contributed
by Joaquin Miller.
One of the most important issues of the
month is the first volume of the English trans-
lation of the Comte de Paris’ JItstory of the
Civil War in America. It is a large octavo of
over six hundred pages, and brings the war
down to the spring of 1862. About one-fifth
of the volume is taken up with a history of
Our army and its achievements in Mexico and
among the Indians. Though not without se-
were criticisms of the actions of some of our
Soldiers and public men, it has received the
highest praises for its impartiality and truth-
fulness, and when completed will probably be
the best history of the war which will be writ-
ten in many years. This first American vol-
ume comprises the first two of the French ed-
ition. The third and fourth, which are pub-
lished in France, are in hand here and will be
issued as a second volume in the spring. The
author is still at work on the succeeding vol-
umes, and they will probably not be ready for
the press before the early fill of next year.
The publishers have done full justice to the
work in printing it in good type, upon heavy,
toned paper, and it is well supplied with
maps.
Estes & Lauriat have published, for the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in
five superb octavo volumes, the L:fe and
Works of Count Rumford, by George E. Ellis,
who contradicts many of the statements about
Rumford, which appear in the Encyclopaedias.
He was born in 1753, in North Woburn, Mass.,
within twelve miles of the birthplace of
Benjamin Franklin ; at the age of sixteen
was apprenticed to a drygoods dealer in Bos-
ton, studied medicine, taught school, and a
year or two before the commencement of the
Revolution was commissioned as Major in the
Provincial army. This circumstance identi-
fied him with the Royal cause when the war
broke out, and so incensed his neighbors that
he was obliged to flee to Boston. He went
from there to England, and his property here
was confiscated. He held several positions
under the English government, was knighted,
and finally entered the service of the Elec-
tor of Bavaria, where he distinguished him-
self still further by his scientific achieve-
ments. His Life fills a volume of nearly
seven hundred pages, and is enabellished with
a steel portrait and other steel lilates. His
works, which are comprised in four volumes
nearly as large, have heretofore been scat-
tered in journals and reports. They embrace
papers giving his numerous experiments on
gunpowder, food, etc., but the larger portion
of the first three volumes is devoted to
heat and its various appliances, and the last
volume to the phenomena of light. The
whole is liberally illustrated by cuts.

In Forster’s “Life of Dickens' occurs this
passage : “There is an earlier allusion I may
Quote from a letter in January, 1838, for its
mention of a small piece written by him at
this time, but not included in his acknowledged
whitings : ‘I am as badly off as you. I have
not done The Young Gentleman, nor written
the preface to Grimaldi (referring to the life of
the popular clown, edited by “Boz”). Nor
thought of Oliver Twist, or even supplied a
a subject for a plate l’. The Young Gentleman
was a small book of sketches which he wrote
anonymously as the companion to a similar half.
... crown volume of Young Ladies (not written by
him), for Messrs. Chapman & Hall. He added
subsequently a like volume of Young Couples,
also without his name.” E. J. H. le & Son
have just issued the three series of sketches in
one volume, with the original illustrations by
“Phiz,” Mr. H. K. Browne. The sketches are
v ry amusing, and as this is the first time they
have been collected in America, the volume
will have a ready sale.

In connection, with the present demand for
Fast Mail Trains, the following order, pub-
lished in the Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 14,
1775, becomes interesting :
“GENERAL POST-OFFICE.”
PHILADELPHIA, Fabruary 14, 1775.
“It having been found very inconvenient to persons
concerned in trade, that the mail from Philadelphia to
New England' sets out but once a fortnight during the
winter season; this is to give notice, that the New Eng-
land mail will henceforth go one a week the year round;
where a correspondence may be carried on, and answers
obtained to letters between Philadelphia and Boston in
three weeks, which used in the winter to require six
Weeks.”
By command of the post master general.

to the interests of the (Retail (Book Trade, and to the branches
so closely connected with it in this country—the Stationery,
(Periodical, and JMusic trades.
- Each number will contain full lists of recent publications,
early announcements of forthcoming books, with such descrip.

the salesman such a knowledge of new Stock as to assist him
in bringing it to the notice of his customer. .
(Business Changes will be fully noted. JVew (Periodicals,
and changes in old ones will receive the attention they deserve,
and the contents of the JMagazines will be noticed from time to
time in advance of their issue. Lists of new music, with brief
notes, will appear as heretofore. Especial attention will be
given to Stationery, and price lists and notices of new articles
will contribute to the value of the paper to that branch of trade.
Having recently added to our facilities for collecting the latest
items of news at home and abroad, and for conducting a Trade
journal, we shall spare no effort in the future to make THE
JAJME(RIC A.N (BOOKSE L LE(R an important aid to the retail
dealer, worth many times its subscription price.
While it will at all times be conducted in the interests of
the (Retailer, it will furnish to Publishers and JManufacturers
the best medium for conveying a knowledge of their goods to
those on whom they depend for orders. Our pages will always
be open to communications of interest to any branch of the

EA CEI STYLE IN A NEAT BOX.
There is no country in which may be found so much of the romantic, venerable, and wonderful as in India.
Its history is so linked in with the growth of languages and religions, that scholars find a field for limitless re-
search in its past. Its ruins and the inscriptions they bear are full of interest to the archaeologist; its temples
furnish wonderful examples of the majestic and beautiful in architecture; its forests ard jungles abound in the
noblest game, upon which the sportsman can exercise his skill; and its native princes, notwithstanding their
diminished power and numbers, still maintain a degree of magnificent luxury, which is best described as oriental.
M. Rousselet spent nearly five years in this wonderful country. During that time he traversed nearly every
section of it, and he improved to the utmost the extraordinal y facilities for observation which he enjoyed. He
was received as an honored guest at several of the courts, and with some of the most powerful of the native
princes he came to be upon terms of intimate personal friendship. Rhinoceros and elephant fights and royal
hunting parties were organized in his honor. Graphic descriptions of these exciting spectacles alternate with
accounts of the manners and customs of the people, of the famous jugglers, of the dances of the Nautch girls, of
the serpent-charmers, and of the various other innumerable institutions of the East, which are in such strong
contrast with the quiet life of more civilized countries. - -

This magnificent volume may be justly characterized as one of the most valuable, elaborate, and deeply in-
teresting works yet published on Modern Spain. It contains a minute and vivid description of nearly every
object of historical and romantic interest, which richly abound in that delightful country famous for knightly
adventure, romance, and song. The text is largely interspersed with sprightly proverbs and choice extracts from
rare legendary ballads and poems, illustrative of Spanish history, valor, and gallantry. The numerous superb
illustrations by M. GUSTAVE DORE (all from drawings taken on the spot by this eminent artist), exhibit, with
marvelous fidelity and picturesque beauty, the majestic scenery and grand architecture of the country, the lively
manners, piquant dress, and singular customs of its romantic people. Indeed, no labor or expense has been
spared to render this sumptuous volume the most beautiful. interesting, and valuable publication, in a literary
und artistic point of view, that has ever appeared.

thousand names are added. In these eight years the crop of good and great and well-known men gathered in l
the great reaper has been large, and it is represented in the double-column SUPPLEMENT of 162 pages, by no few
than 500 memoirs. All of these have the same merit which marks the original volume, in addition to the cor
pleteness, accuracy, honesty, and catholicity justly claimed by Mr. Cates—the merit of clearness of statemen
cleverness of condensation, and the absence of fine writing and controversy.”—Daily Review, Edinburgh.

An Attractive Tab/e Book—Suftab/e for the Ho/fdays, resembling
Leech’s “Sketches of Life and Character,”
“MY SKETCH-BOOK.”

“MY SKETCH-Book” is the title of a production by George Cruikshank, peculiarly his own,
sketched, etched, published, and sold by himself.
• George Cruikshank is an artist whose genius has found many warm admirers in America, and his
works are eagerly sought by collectors who make Cruikshankiana a specialty; but the good fortune
to possess a copy of “My Sketch-Book” only rests with the older collectors, who commenced their
gatherings years ago. At the present time the book is practically unobtainable, and to most American
collectors, known only by description. - - -
Thackeray has written an essay, chiefly in laudation of the genius of George Cruikshank. The
contemplation and review of the works of this wonderful man stimulate the great author to a genial
enthusiasm, dilating upon the happy hours he has spent over wondrous caricatures and quaint draw-
ings, with a kindly, even affectionate warmth, brimful of delight, and running over with pleasant
reminiscences.
George Cruikshank's Sketch-Book is excellently adapted ſor a table-lock of ſun for the Cvery-day
book-buyer, and for the draughtsman and artist it is a perfect study-book, abounding in novelties of
ſun and form. :
We have reproduced “My SKETCH-BOOK' in exact ſac-simile, line ſor line. The work is pecu-
liarly adapted for reproduction, owing to the force and freedom of the lines, and the process adopted
is the most perfect that we know of, and the work has been done with the greatest care, printed by
hand, on fine plate-paper. The book is in ſac-simile also in respect to size, oblong ſolio, bound with
leather back, cloth sides. It contains about 200 groups, included in one of which is a full-length
portrait of George Cruikshank. - - -
The book will be sent by mail, prepaid, on receipt of the price specified above. The trade sup-
plied on the usual terms.
One of the most elegant of the Holiday Books offered in London is the DRESDEN GALLERY.
The pictures of this most beautiful Gallery are reproduced in a faithful manner. The book is prettily
bound, and admirably adapted for a gift-book. Folio, cloth, gilt edges, extra, $20.00. Superbly
bound in morocco, beveled boards (this binding is remarkably handsome and attractive), $35.00.
