SPENCER'S DESCRIPTIVE SOCIOLOGY.

D. APPLETON & CO.,

549 & 551 Broadway, New York.

PUBLISH THIS DAY:

DESCRIPTIVE SOCIOLOGY

Or, GROUPS OF SOCIOLOGICAL FACTS. Classified and Arranged by Herbert Spencer. Compiled and Abstracted by David Duncan, A.M., Professor of Logic, etc., in the Presidency College, Madras; Richard Scheppig, Ph.D.; and Fames Collier. ENGLISH: Compiled and Abstracted by Fames Collier. I vol., folio. Price, $5.00.

From the British Quarterly Review.

"No words are needed to indicate the immense labor here bestowed, or the great sociological benefit which such a mass of tabulated matter, done under such competent direction, will confer. The work will constitute an epoch in the science of comparative sociology."

From the London Correspondent of the Tribune.

"The work is a gigantic one; its value when complete will be immeasurable; and its active influence on the study of sociology, and help to that study, greater perhaps than any book yet published. It is a Cyclopædia of Social Science, but a cyclopædia edited by the greatest of sociologists."

From a Review by E. B. Tylor, in "Nature."

'So much information, encumbered with so little rubbish, has never before been brought to bear on the development of English institutions. 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, education or theology, the division of labor, on the rise of modern scientific ideas."

WE WILL PUBLISH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24,

"It will be a hardened novel reader who shall not find this story bright and fresh."-Nation, New York.

"Mr. De Forest goes on with the 'Wetherel Affair,' making of it a most natural, humorous, and piquant love story."-N. Y. Tribune.

"As a novelist Mr. De Forest seems to grow with each new book, and he is to-day perhaps the ablest American novelist."-Galaxy Magazine, New York.

NOTES IN SEASON.

ROBERT CARTER & BROS, have made arrangements with Messrs. Adam and Charles Black, of Edinburgh, to bring out in this country the memorial volume of the late Dr. Candlish. They will also publish immediately the first volume of the autobiography and memoir of the well-known Dr. Guthrie; a work which can scarcely be other than interesting and inspiring, if one may judge from the earnestness and purity of Dr. Guthrie's useful life. The same firm announce Maggie's Mistake," a school-girl's story.

[ocr errors]

WILSON, HINKLE & Co., Cincinnati, are to publish immediately "A Manual of the Constitu- | tion of the United States," designed for the instruction of rising American citizens. It is prepared by President Andrews of Marietta College.

HARPER & BROS. will publish next week Anthony Trollope's new story, written as a Christmas tale, "Harry Heathcote," which has been delighting the readers of the Weekly; Wm. Black's charming novel, "The Princess of Thule," which the readers of Lippincott's have enjoyed, and a new volume of the Collins novels, "The Moonstone."

[ocr errors]

THE first American work in the "International Science Series." "The New Chemistry," by Prof. Cooke, of Harvard, is nearly ready at the Appletons', and will be followed in rapid su cession, within two months, by several other volumes of this valuable and successful series. Prof. Cooke's work gives a comprehensive view of the present advance of chemistry, with the new nomenclature.

THE trade hasn't been enlivened by a contro versy for some time; consequently Messrs. Holt The & Co. and Loring have engaged in one. former published "The Wooing O't," by Miss Alexander, and claim first announcement of her second book, "Which Shall It Be?" Mr. Loring has also just published an edition of this novel, and now Messrs. Holt are rushing a cheap edition through the press, in competition. The latter will also add Mrs. Jenkin's new novel of French society, "Jupiter's Daughters," to their "Leisure Hour Series" immediately.

WE hear from Porter & Coates as to their early publication of a new tale by Amelia B. Edwards, authoress of "Barbara's History," "Half a Million of Money," and other popular novels, entitled "In the Days of My Youth." "As it is said to equal if not to surpass her former writings in strength of character portraiture and conception, and judging from the success which met their publication, it is safe to predict an extensive sale for this latest production from her pen.

[ocr errors]

JOHN WILEY & SON publish this week another valuable work on chemistry, under the_title, "Quantitative Chemical Analysis," by T. E. Thorpe. The contents of the volume are given in an advertisement in this number.

WE are authorized to contradict the rumor

which has been floating about private literary circles, that Mr. Howells has resigned the editorship of the Atlantic Monthly. The new proprietors, by the way, printed an extra edition of the January number, the first under their auspices, and have nevertheless, we understand, been obliged to reprint to supply the demand.
