D. Morice, just issued by J. B. Lippincott & Co., completes the supplementary series of Ancient Classics for English Readers. A. D. F. RANDOLPH & Co. have just ready a new edition of their smaller "Hymn and Tune Book," for prayer-meetings and small churches, which they put forward as the cheapest hymn and tune book in the country. HENRY T. COATES' "Fireside Encyclopædia of Poetry," published by Porter & Coates, has already reached the sixth edition, within three months from its date of publication-certainly a most gratifying success. It has won the commendation of such poets as Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes, Aldrich, Trowbridge, and numer. ous others, and of many of the most eminent critics in poetical literature, and its success is therefore not surprising. JAS. P. BURBANK, Salem, Mass., has just published a fourth edition of Alex. Melville Bell's" Principles of Elocution." This work, formerly published as the " Elocutionary Manual," is not a compilation of readings and recitations, like the author's "Standard Elocutionist," but a manual of principles and annotated exercises, adapted to private study. The present edition has been carefully revised by the author, and several pages of new matter have been added. D. APPLETON & Co. send out this week "The Commercial Products of the Sea," by P. L. Simmons, which treats the commercial products of the sea as a whole, and goes over the field of research in a systematic manner so as to show the importance of the subject; "The Multitudinous Sea," by S. G. W. Benjamin (no. 23 Appleton's New Handy- Volume Series), a picturesque description of the ocean; Elementary Lessons in Historical English Grammar," by Rev. Richard Morris; and 'A Glossary of Biological, Anatomical, and Physiological Terms," by Thomas Duncan. " 66 R. WORTHINGTON has just ready a uniform edition of the leading works of Henry Kingsley the novelist, brother of Charles, the first published in this country. It includes those on the old Osgood list, and others newly set, the series comprising " Ravenshoe,"" Austin Elliott," "Leighton Court," "The Hillyards and the Burtons," and "Geoffry Hamlyn." The volumes are in very neat shape. He has also just ready an entirely new and enlarged edition of Chambers' "Mathematical Tables," in 12mo, containing about twice as much matter as the old edition. A new edition of the "Girl's Own Book" is in preparation, to be uniform with the " Boy's Own Book," which he now pub PETER PAUL & Co. are about issuing the second edition of "Lenten Mosaics," having al-lishes in improved shape. most entirely exhausted the first during the Lenten season of 1878. As the Lenten season is fast approaching, booksellers should note that their stock is not complete without the ribbon book "Lenten Mosaics." THE fine new edition of Waterton's "Wanderings in South America" is now received at Macmilian's, with some other new books, and is well worth the attention of all interested in natural history and travels. This is one of the books that last from generation to generation, and this edition as edited by Rev. J. G. Wood, with many text wood-cuts, is by far the finest yet issued. "HEREDITY," the fifth of Joseph Cook's volumes of Boston Monday Lectures, with its quota of "Preludes on Current Events," will be published shortly by Houghton, Osgood & Co. Considering the frequent statement that Joseph Cook is played out," it is quite surprising what crowds still attend his lectures whenever he speaks, and what a healthy demand there is for his books. EARLY in February Roberts Brothers will publish the "Life and Times of Stein; or, Germany and Prussia in the Napoleonic Age," by Prof. J. R. Seeley, whom everybody knows as the author of "Ecce Homo." This important work covers a most interesting period, and one that has never been adequately treated in English. Stein was one of the great men of history, and the debt of Germany to him is hardly smaller than to Bismarck. Prof. Seeley's work is in two volumes 8vo, uniform with Life of Chancellor, and can hardly fail to be one of Charles Sumner," has portraits of the illustrious the most interesting and valuable of this season's books. At the same time Roberts Brothers will publish "Mary Wollstonecraft's Letters to Gilbert Imlay," a volume of special interest to those who cannot help admiring the genius and character of Mary Wollstonecraft, notwithstanding her erratic, or at least unconventional, ideas and acts; and " Canterbury Chimes; or, Chaucer Tales retold for Children," by Francis Storer and Hawes Turner, with illustrations.
