The Annual Reference-List, 1878-79. This list, forming the third provisional Supplement to the American Catalogue, and embracing all the books recorded in The Publishers' Weekly from July 1, 1878, to June 30, 1879, with additional titles, corrections, changes of price and publisher, etc., is compiled on what is known as the "dictionary plan," by which any book can be found, whether it is looked for under author, or title, or subject. 2. The Educational Catalogue for 1879 (tenth year). This Catalogue, which is used by the entire trade and educational interest as the most reliable reference list of SchoolBooks, will present two essential improvements, viz.: (1) arrangement on the "dictionary plan,” combining a Finding-List for the trade and a Subject Catalogue for the use of schools; (2) Tradelist or wholesale price, and mailing or retail price, in parallel columns. [ENTIRELY NEW FEATURES.] 3. The Annual Class List, 1878-79. While in the regular Reference-List individual books are found under author, title, or subject, the Annual Class-List, on the plan of the monthly Class Synopsis in The Publishers' Weekly, gives references under such collective headings as Arts and Sciences, Biography, Education, Fiction, Juvenile, Law, Medicine, Poetry, Religion, Travel, etc., to all books of the year published in these departments. 4. The Order-List for 1879. This list, on the plan of the weekly Order-List of The Publishers' Weekly, presents, under the alphabetically-arranged names of the publishers, all the books (stating price) issued in 1879 by those publishing houses which are represented in the ANNUAL. The practical object of this list, which will be compiled and printed at the very last moment, is twofold: (1) To save booksellers time and labor in preparing their fall orders for the books of the season; (2) To give publishers who supply their lists at an early date an opportunity for adding any books issued later and not mentioned in their own list. The above Lists, all requiring unusual labor and expense, present in their combination so perfect a working tool as has never been presented to the trade of any other country. It may be justly claimed that these special trade helps alone will make the ANNUAL indispensable to every one who has any interest in the purchase and sale of books. TERMS. The price will be One Dollar per copy, bound in cloth. The price of the volume will be raised after close of subscription. No single subscriptions (unless by special agreement) can be taken into account that have not been paid up, as the small amounts will neither bear the trouble nor the expense or risk of numerous accounts, bills, statements, and subsequent collections. Delayed or unpaid subscriptions are not entitled to the subscription price ($1). Remittances should be made by money-order on New York, or registered letter, as we cannot be responsible for any losses. Receipt for remittance will be sent by return mail. Unless special shipping directions are received, copies ready for delivery will be dispatched by express. F. LEYPOLDT, Publisher, 13 and 15 PARK ROW, or P. O. Box 4295, NEW YORK. Publishers' GENERAL LIBRARY University of Weekly THE AMERICAN BOOK TRADE JOURNAL With which is incorporated the American Literary Gazette and Pubishers' Circular "The publication of the present volume deviates from the order of the programme of the 'System of Synthetic Philosophy,' for reasons stated by the author in the preface. According to the original plan the 'System' was to end with the Principles of Morality,' of which the chapters now issued form the first division. As the second and third volumes of the Principles of Sociology' remain as yet unpublished, this instalment of the succeeding work appears out of its regular place. Mr. Spencer was induced to take this course through fear that adherence to the programme might result in the failure to complete the work. The precariousness of his health and the uncertainty of life admonished him of the wisdom of bringing this portion of the 'System' to a speedy close. "Mr. Spencer's main purpose is to ascertain and describe the objective qualities of right conduct, the external signs of the highest virtue, and to show their coincidence with the results. of progressive evolution. This he has done in the course of the profound and exhaustive analy sis, of which he is so consummate a master, of vigorous, but singularly lucid, reasonings, and oft. ample and impressive illustrations from every department of Nature. The constant reference to the facts of the material Universe, founded on a rare familiarity with every branch of physics and natural history, gives a peculiar vitality to his composition, and preserves it from the speculative air which is the bane of so many philosophical essays. Mr. Spencer combines, to a degree certainly seldom found in any other living English writer, the power of deep reflection, of equally acute insight and outsight, of practical adaptation, and of expression and illustration as felicitous as it is forcible. With the condensation and pointedness of Hobbes, the flowing facility of Locke, the philosophic simplicity and earnestness of Bishop Butler, and the profundity of Kant, without his diffuseness and obscurity, he must be classed in the highest rank of British authors, not only as a thinker, in which line few will be disposed to question his pre-eminence, but as an artistic writer, in which capacity he has perhaps not been so universally recognized."—New York Tribune. One volume, 12mo, cloth, 288 pages. Price, $1.50. D. APPLETON & CO., 549 and 551 Broadway New York. NOW READY. 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. The list this year includes a price-list arranged alphabetically by author's or editor's name, and a detailed subject-index, referring from each specifics ubject to authors of books on that subject, so that the advantages of both a finding-list for the trade and a class catalogue for the use of schools are combined. Publishers' prices are in all cases given-retail, if retail (in first column); "net," if “net" (in second column); where a "mailing" percentage is specified by the publisher, the "mailing price" is given in the retail column marked with an asterisk (*), in addition to the wholesale price. It having been found impracticable to issue the proposed modified edition, because of the unavoidable discrepancies and difficulties, the double-column edition only is published. A carefully-drawn explanation in the heading, to private buyers, adapts it, however, to the use of the retail trade. 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. Orders for editions should be sent to us 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.
