A HISTORY OF THE JEWISH NATION, by E. H. Palmer. (Pott, Young & Co.) This embraces the history of the Hebrew race, from their first appearance according to the Old Testament to the present day. The little work is presented in a simple and unpretending style, such as will recommend it for family reading and the use of young students. The

view It contains a map of the Holy Land and is fully illustrated. 12mo, cloth, $2.50.

WE are glad to learn that another house is making practical efforts toward a reform of underselling. Messrs. McLoughlin Bros., toy-book publishers, have communicated with their jobbers, suggesting that the discount to retailers should be con-history is treated from an entirely secular point of fined on purchases of $200 and upwards to 20 per cent., in no case to exceed that amount, and on amounts less should vary according to the class of customers, the house agreeing to do all in its power to protect those who do, and declining to sell goods to those who do not, comply with this arrangement. Nearly all the jobbers have already entered into this agreement, and we trust the experiment will prove helpful to the trade, and finally to the public. The laws of trade assure the latter that under such a system competition will turn to giving them the best article for their money.

We have from Mr. Gunn, Secretary of the American Book Trade Union, a postal card circular, which we reprint according to request:

AMERICAN BOOK TRADE UNION. Secretary's Office, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. DEAR SIR: If you have read and approve the proceedings of the Booksellers' Convention, February 12th and 13th, at Cincinnati, Ohio, as published in the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY of February 21st, please signify your endorsement of the same by inclosing one dollar, with authority to sign the constitution for you, to the undersigned. If you have not seen this report, a copy of it will be mailed to you on application. A

SEVEN DAUGHTERS, by Amanda M. Douglas, New England family who are blessed with seven (Lee & Shepard.) A clever and amusing story of a girls. The volume is very nicely brought out; the illustrations are good and numerous, and the binding very tasteful. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

THE HEROES OF THE SEVEN HILLS, by Mrs. C. H. B. Laing. (Porter & Coates.) The second volume and continuation of a history of Ancient Rome, of which the author's "Seven Kings of the Seven Hills" was the introductory work. In this is traced the history of Rome from its first Consulate down to its destruction by the Gauls B. C. 388. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

THE OLD MASTERS AND THEIR PICTURES, and MODERN PAINTERS AND THEIR PAINTINGS, by Sarah Tytler. (Roberts Bros.) The titles of these volumes seem sufficiently to indicate their contents. They are charmingly written, and contain a vast amount of most interesting information which will be of use both to learners and lovers of art. Most every painter of any celebrity either among the old masters or modern artists is represented, with descriptions of his most famous works. Ea. 16m0, cloth, $1.50.

BOOKS RECEIVED.

To the lovers of flowers and those who are thinking about making gardens, we strongly recommend "Vick's Floral Guide for 1874," published in Rochester, quarterly, by James Vick, at the merely nominal price of 25 cents. It is a complete catalogue, with prices of flowers, fruits, early vegetables, rustic baskets, garden furniture, etc., etc. The various facts and suggestions it contains regarding floral decorations indoors, and the planting and arranging of a garden, will be found invaluable.

THE ITALIAN GIRL, by Katherine Sedgwick Washburn. (Lee & Shepard.) The heroine of this novel is a somewhat improbable circus rider, the "Signorina Rosa," who is young, beautiful, well educated and refined. The authoress has endeavored to show that a woman may, even under a circus-tent, "earn her living" and be respected. The book is written with much earnestness, and displays considerable talent; its plot is well conceived, and its characters all strongly individualized. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

& Co.) The principle articles which make up this volume were published originally in the Western Farmer and Gardener some fifteen years ago. This is the second edition of the work, with additional matter from the author's recent writings. It is written in an easy, graceful style, and is full of pleasant conceits and facts worth knowing. 12mo, cloth, $2.

LITERARY AND TRADE NEWS.

"LE JEU DES AUTEURS" is the name of a new French game just introduced by Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. It consists of 96 cards, which are divided into 24 suites of four cards each. Each suite embraces the name of a French author and the titles of three of his works. The object of the play is, after the cards are distributed, that each player should gather into his hand as many com plete suites as possible, according to the rules given for playing. As may be seen, the doing of this must exercise the memory, thus affording at the same time both instruction and amusement. Directions for playing, etc., are all in French.

PROF. DAVID SWING'S sermons, "Truths for ToDay," have made a considerable hit, aided no doubt by the desire of people in general to find out for themselves whether this vigorous and attractive preacher is a heretic or not. Jansen, McClurg & Co. find their first edition of 2,000 already nearly exhausted, and a second, of as many more, is preparing.

MR. SWINBURNE'S "Bothwell" is complete. It will be lengthy, and will exceed the limits of a stage piece.

THE latest issue of the Athenæum contains a long letter from Dr. J. G. Holland, on international copyright, apropos of the printing of his "Arthur Bonnicastle," with a concluding chapter "by another hand," to evade the British copyright on the latter chapters, first published in that country for the purpose of receiving it. He concludes:

of

It is useless to quarrel with facts which one is powerless to remove; and I write this letter mainly to protest against the oppression of the authors of both countries on account of national failures and duty for which they they are not responsible. If the authors of Great Britain can make arrangements with American publishers which "the courtesy of the trade" protects, let us put nothing in their way, and help them all we can. If American authors can make arrangements with British publishers which, through a literal or a liberal construction British law, can be protected, they certainly do something for justice, and furnish a better pavement for the progress of the nation toward a true position, than the threats and thefts of foreign publishers. Every publisher in American who has interfered with the purchased right of another in a British author's books has lost reputation with the trade by that act. It ought to be so abroad. If the authors of both countries cannot get what they ought to have, they should, at least, be permitted to get what they can, and not be ground to powder, as the unwilling grain, between the opposing interests of British and American paper-makers and bookpublishers.

MR. JAMES CAMPBELL, Boston, Mass., has purchased the plates and copyright of Dr. Burnett's Translation of Von Siebold and H. Stannen's "Treatise on the Comparative Anatony of the Animal Kingdom," and will immediately proceed to prepare a limited edition for the market. This work has been pronounced by Profs. Agassiz, Silliman, Hitchcock, and other scientific and medical men, as the most complete work on the subject

extant.

MR. F. F. BROWNE, editor and proprietor of the Lakeside Monthly, has published a card explaining that the long delay in issuing the February number of that magazine is due to his continued sickness, which will cause a suspension of the publication till next September,

MINISTER MOTLEY'S "John of Barneveld," and Schweinfurth's "Heart of Africa," are preparing for issue next week at the Harpers, with " A Fast Life on the Modern Highway,' ," all previously spoken of. For this last Mr. Abbey has designed a clever cover.

Two or three juveniles of special interest are numbered among Dodd and Mead's forthcoming issues in this department. "Nothing to Nobody" is the clever title of one; another is a clever story, Little Boots," by the author of "The Old Back 'Room;" and two little stories of Mrs. Charles, author of the Schönberg-Cotta books, for some time out of print, will be republished, "Brother Bartholemew," or, "The United Brethren of Bohemia."

"POOR JACK" is to have another story written about him showing his wrongs; this time it is by Mrs. Sewell, England, and is entitled " Davie Blake the Sailor."

of

AN historical novel based upon the struggle of the South American colonies for independence, and the conspiracy of the sons of Bolivia and the Black Eagle in Cuba near the close of the first quarter this century, is promised by Senor J. de Armas Cespedes, nephew of the Cuban President, and the writer of a paper in the latest Galaxy. The story promises some new and interesting revelations concerning the origin of the Monroe doctrine.

THERE is to be a meeting at Vienna of a company of Austrian writers to meditate on literary questions between France and Germany.

WITH the exception of the German, Hugo's 93 has been translated into nearly every living tongue, and now the Gaulois announces he has authorized "one of the invaders" to translate it for the semiofficial journal of Bismarck at Strasbourg-a very unpatriotic proceeding thinks the Gaulois.

HENRY WIKOFF has a new book in Lippincott's press, entitled "The Four Civilizations of the World."

Not satisfied with the results of the labor of Croker and Malone, Mr. Percy Fitzgerald has set himself to the task of preparing a new edition of Boswell's Johnson, in which the original is to be exactly reproduced in spelling, punctuation, paragraphing, &c. All notes and alterations will be separated from such as are supplied from other

sources.

A new German epic by Adolf Stern is devoted to Gutemberg, who hitherto has received but scant attention from the muses.

IT is said that the "Histoire due Romantisme," by Theophile Grantier, now publishing in Paris, has all the merits of consummate style and exquisite fancy, for which that author is so noted.

SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & Co. have in press "The China Collector's Pocket Companion," by Mrs. Bury Palliser. It is meant to supply the want of a portable guide to marks and monograms, such as will prove very useful to the lovers of the This mania has so many devotees ceramic art. in America, that the announcement will be interesting here.

MR. PHILIP BOURKE MARSTON, the young English poet, a protege and devotee of the Rossetti-Morris coterie, is to bring out a second volume of poems.

TESTIMONIAL TO JAMES SANGSTER, ESQ.-At the Crystal Palace, on Jan. 8th, an interesting gathering took place, of the agents, travelers, and employés connected with the well-known publishing firm of Sangster & Co., 31 Paternoster Row, for the purpose of presenting to J. Sangster, Esq., the principal of the firm, a beautiful and costly silver tea and coffee service and salver, bearing the following inscription :-" Presented to James Sangster, Esq., by his agents, travelers and employés in Great Britain and America, to celebrate the happy event of his fiftieth birthday, and to show their high regard for his personal worth, his business enterprise and his thoughtful and valued friendship." sentation was made in the presence of numerous friends, by a gentleman from the north of England (who had been connected with the firm for nearly a quarter of a century), sustained by others from various parts of the kingdom. Mr. Sangster acknowledged the testimonial in a few choice and feeling words. The service had been subscribed for by forty or fifty friends, almost all of them engaged in the business of the firm.-The London Bookseller. Messrs. Sangster & Co. are the publishers of Knights' England, a new edition of which has been issued in this country by Messrs. Estes & Lauriat, of Boston, by arrangement with the London publishers.

THE Cover of Auerbach's "Waldfried," nearly ready at Henry Holt & Co.'s, is "the event of 1874," as Barnum would put it, in binding. A light linen cloth, similar to that of the "Leisure Hour Series," is used, on which there is stamping in five colors, gold, silver, black, red and blue. All these are employed in the imperial coat of arms which occupies the centre of the otherwise plain cover. It is the most elaborate and striking piece of cloth binding

we have ever seen.

MR. WINWOOD READE, the Quiver correspondent, is to do the Ashantee war into a book-the fifty-eleventh, more or less, on the subject.

THE reason of M. Hugo's publishing "93" at his own risk, through Levy, was the work of the Authors' Society, under which a sale is only of a limited edition, after which the author may sell again. This first sale was offered by Hugo for 120,000 francs, but Levy preferred to take the per cent. commission as Hugo's agent. The French issue is in three volumes, at eighteen francs.
