A VERY unfortunate error crept into our columns last week. Mr. Worthington's Tennyson, in Chandos Classic style, is at the very low price of 80 cents, not 50, as there reported. There is a limit to cheapness, and Mr. Worthington has pretty closely reached it in offering all Tennyson, including the new poems, at the price named. ROBERTS BROTHERS publish this week a new edition, from Wilson's press, of William Morris' "Story of Sigurd the Volsung, and the Fall of the Niblungs" ($2.50), a story to which Mr. Morris' characteristic style of narration and description is finely suited; and "The Life and Adventures of Ernst Moritz Arndt," who was popularly regarded as par excellence the singer of the German fatherland. This is a crown octavo, and is introduced to the public under the auspices of the author of " Ecce Homo," who furnishes a preface ($2.25). GEO. ROUTLEDGE & SONS call attention to the important line of books of travel by Augustus J. C. Hare, which are of the utmost interest to the stay-at-home traveller as well as to the European tourist. The plan of these unique books, on London, Rome and Italy, and Spain, is to present a descriptive résumé of points of interest, and to this to append extracts from the great writers who have described them. They are charming, delightful books,-to the ordinary guide-book what the Pullman palace is to the regulation railway-car. 66 HOUHTON, OSGOOD & Co. publish this week Mr. Burroughs' attractive out-door and summer book, "Locusts and Wild Honey" ($1.50); Mr. Russell's revised and enlarged Library Notes," full of quotable sentences gathered from a very wide range of reading, and making a very desirable book ($2); 'The Peace Parliament," an anonymous little book, satirizing the unessential notions that so many regard as essential features of their several creeds (50 cents); and, in the Riverside edition of the British poets, Skelton and Donne in two volumes, and Herrick in one. THE new house of A. C. Armstrong & Son has added to its catalogue the well-known list of Oakley & Mason, more recently Albert Mason, for some time in the hands of Hurd & Houghton and Houghton, Osgood & Co. This includes a number of standard works, among them the fine Riverside edition of Macaulay's Essays, and other editions from the same plates; the library edition of Josephus; Kinglake's "Eöthen;" Mitchell's works on astronomy; Magoon's books on American orators; Macduff's popular religious books; Zschokke's "History of Switzerland;" a library line of poets, etc.; also, a very well-known series of educational books, as Town's spellers, readers, and analysis, tried and still popular old standards; Bryant and Stratton's arithmetics, etc. Mr. Armstrong starts his list with solid books. ROBERT CARTER & BROS. give us further information as to Miss Warner's new novel, 'My Desire," which will be ready May 14th. The scene is laid partly amid the simple farm life of New England, and partly among the gayeties of fashionable life in Philadelphia. Among the people in the book are the simple but true Desire, the crafty Olive, the worldly Caroline, and the quaint Grandmother. Polly Bininger is a character with her 'Nice spring chickens, jes' right for brilin',' and Mrs. Deacon Sadler, who says to Desire when the latter comes to her help at the time her seven children, all under twelve, are down with the measles, I'd jest as lieves have you as the angel Gabriel' Nor are there many better characters than good, kind Deacon Parsons, who, when asked what a sunny day in April made him think of, replied, 'It's good for the pastur'; that's what I think."
