BOOKS PUBLISHED BY NELSON & PHILLIPS, 803 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. The International Series of Bible Lessons for the next Six Months will be found in the Gospel by St. Mark. We have now ready a cheap Sunday-School Edition of the first volume of Whedon's Commentary on the New Testament, which includes the Gospels by MATTHEW and MARK, in flexible muslin covers. This is by far the best and cheapest commentary in the market. It is specially adapted for popular use, and contains a full explanation, of the Lesions. Price, $1.25. The usual discount to the trade. CRITICAL NOTICES. There is a clearness and compactness of expression which often reminds us of Bengel's Gnomon. The condensation and sharpness of statement sometimes brings out the thought on you with a kind of surprise. A single short sentence frequently opens up to us the very heart of a passage. The collation of texts is apposite and suggestive, while the illustrations by maps and plates are all that could be des red.-Evang. Lutheran Quarterly Review. It is written in a clear, terse, and forcible style. There is very little waste of words. The expositions are concise, to the point, evangelical and edifying. It bids fair to be a very valuable work.--Princeton (Presbyterian) Keview. GLEN MORRIS STORIES. Having purchased the plates of this delightful series of books we are now able to furnish the trade. We need only say that 60,000 volumes have been sold, which is a sure sign of their popularity. We have placed a large number of our latest and most attractive Sunday-School publications in boxes, especially designed for Sunday School libraries and home reading. No Subscriptions received after Publication Day. THE UNIFORM TRADE LIST ANNUAL For 1874-1875, Is in addition to a much fuller representation of Publishers' and Stationers' Trade Lists than in last year's volume, to contain a specially prepared Reference List of Books recorded in the Publishers' Weekly from Fen. 16, 1873, to July 1, 1874 (eighten 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. TERMS. 1. The price will be One Dollar per copy. 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 preparation of so extensive 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 can not be responsible for any losses. Receipt for remittance, 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 bookbuyers to the ANNUAL; but copies ordered by the latter must be subscribed for through booksellers. Except in the case of subscribers to the Publishers' Weekly, all inquirers will be referred to their local dealer. Orders for over 1,000 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 come forward more promptly this year. F. LEYPOLDT, Publisher, P. O. Box 4295, N. Y.

JUST on going to press, we rec ived the following books from the Harpers: "Second-cousin Sarah," a novel, by F. W. Robinson, illustrated, Svo, paper, 75c.; "Under the Trees," by S. I. Prime, large 12mo, cloth; "Miss Moore," a tale for girls, by Georgina M.

MESSRS. LEE & SHEPARD will publish in a few days Carl Schurz's Eulogy on Charles Sumner. It will make a handsome crown 8vo pamphlet of eighty-seven pages. An edition in cloth binding will also be issued. THERE are few people who know much about architecture, and yet it is a subject in which very many are interested. We are very grateful, therefore, in prospect of a book announced by Hurd & Houghton: "Architecture for General Students," a small illustrated hand-book, intended not for professional students in architecture, but for the large class that desires to acquaint itself with the growth of architecture and the marks and signs of the several styles. ROBERTS Bros. promise the early publication of the " Correspondence of William Ellery Channing, D. D., and Lucy Aiken, from 1826 to 1842," edited by Anna Letitia Le Breton. THE hitherto unprinted part of Pepy's Diary, which is being deciphered by Mr. Mynors Bright, is said to relate to the theatres of Pepy's time. This first complete edition, as before announced will be published in this country by Hurd & Houghton, the Riverside Press, AT Harper & Brother's, a third volume of sermons by the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, is in an advanced state for publication next week. It bears the title of "Old Wells Dug Out," and is of his characteristic style of pulpit oratory. At the same time will be ready Miss Braddon's new sensational novel, "Taken at the Flood," which proved so popular in the eight English journals for which it was written, and "Barnaby Rudge," in the new popular illustrated edition. THE Appletons have in hand for issue next week, the new novel of "Brocksley Moor." "EDWARD GARRETT'S" new book, a characteristically quiet and lovely story, "By Still Waters," will be ready the latter part of the month, at Dodd & Mead's, with Rev. H. H. Jessup's interesting book on "Syrian Home Life," of which we have before spoken. A very interesting account of a visit to Mr. Mayo ("Edward Garrett") and late book, "A Lawyer Abroad." (Carters.) his literary history, is to be found in Henry Day's LIBRARY CORNER. HISTORIES OF BOOKSELLERS. The following is one of those admirable notes which make the Boston Public Library Catalogues so valuable for reference. It is inserted under the title of Curwen's much-attacked "History of Booksellers." (in Bull. No. 29, April 1874). Note. "The present is the most comprehensive history of British booksellers yet published, coming down to our day. Knight's "Shadows of the Old Booksellers," 1865 [4556.5], is confined to those of England, and to such as flourished in the last century only, earlier than which the material for the lives of English booksellers does not be found in the contemporary literary history. In have the completeness that can after that period this way the careers of Tonson can be traced in the lives of Dryden and his associates, and that of Lintot and Curl [see Notes and Queries, 2d series, vol. 2, 3, and 10] in those of Pope and his contemporaries. The lives of Samuel Richardson portray the most celebrated, probably, of all. bookselling of the early half of the last century Besides Johnson's Life of Cave [586. 20], the receives much illustration in Nichol's Literary Anecdotes [2554.2.6 and elsewhere; and for Cave, 2554.2.5], in Boswell's Johnson, in Forster's Goldsmith, etc The beginnings fand history of the house of Longman, Murray, etc., are traced in the London Critic for 1860. For Murray, see also Autobiography [4546.14. 3]. For recent careers, Gentleman's Magazine, Aug 1843, and Jerdan's. see the lives of Constable [2444.58], of Chambers [536.25, etc.], of Knight [865.10], etc." Mr. M'KIE, of Kilmarnock, has in view of publication of a "Burns' Calendar and Handy Register of Burnsiana," which will form a record of events in the poet's history, of names associated with his life and writings, and a concise bibliography. |
