THE AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL CATALOGUE, For 1879 [Tenth Year]. COMPILED BY F. LEYPOLDT. ́ The Educational Catalogue has been found so valuable to the Trade, not only as a finding-list, but for circulation among educational customers, for the purpose of soliciting orders, and saving at the same time much troublesome correspondence, that its continuance is recognized as a necessity. It is proposed to make the list this year on what is known as "the dictionary plan," entering each series or book in the general alphabet under the author's or editor's name, with cross-references from class and subject headings, so that the advantages of both a finding-list for the trade and a class catalogue for the use of schools are combined. It is proposed to solve the question of prices by giving a line to each book, and entering both the trade-list and mailing or retail price, when made, in parallel columns. Where only a wholesale price is made, it is proposed to add a reasonable percentage (20 per cent) to meet the desire of retail dealers who circulate imprint editions from which the trade-list column will be dropped. In jobbers' imprint editions (not less than 500 copies) the two columns will be retained, but with publisher's prices only given. The Educational Catalogue in its new shape, will, we believe, very thoroughly serve the purposes of those dealers who wish to keep as much of the educational trade as possible in their own hands, and work up more, by sending such a list out to schools and teachers. This Catalogue is acknowledged the most accurate and reliable in the market, and, especially in its new shape, will be found by far the most convenient and satisfactory. In making up special orders for the Educational Catalogue, Booksellers should bear in mind that it possesses not only temporary value, but will serve its purpose during the whole year. As numerous orders for editions are received every summer, after the issue of the Educational Catalogue, we again call attention to the necessity of being in possession of orders at once. CASH TERMS FOR EDITIONS: With sole imprint of ordering firm, and stitched, per 100 copies, $5; per 1000 copies, $40. There is no extra charge for printing name, business card, etc., on the imprint page; the last page is left blank at the disposal of the dealer, but any copy for that, advertising special lines or general business, will be set up and printed thereon for $5 the page, or $1 if plate is sent. Copy for imprint and shipping directions should accompany the order. THE PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY, Box 4295, NEW YORK. HOUGHTON, OSGOOD & CO., PUBLISH THIS WEEK: THE LIFE AND EPOCH OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
