This series of four most charming and classical stories, representing different nationalities, forms perhaps the choicest addition to the literature of the English language that has been made in recent years.

Of "Memories" the Springfield (Mass.) Republican says: "Scarcely could there be drawn a more lovely figure than that of the invalid Princess, though it is so nearly pure spirit that earthly touch seems almost to profane her."

Of "Graziella" the Boston Post says: "It is full of beautiful sentiment, unique and graceful in style, of course, as were all the writings that left the hands of this distinguished French author.'

Of "Marie" the Cincinnati Gazette says: "It is one of the purest, sweetest little narratives that we have read for a long time. It is a little classic, and a Russian classic, too. We catch the very breezes of the Steppes, and meet, face to face, the high-souled, simple-minded Russian "

Of "Madeleine" the New York Evening Mai. says: "It is one of the most exquisite love tales that ever was written, abounding in genuine pathos and sparkling wit, and so pure in its sentiment that it may be read by a child.",

THE BOOK REGISTRY.

The monthly periodical published during 1879 as "The Title-Slip Registry" will be issued hereafter under the title of the BOOK REGISTRY, and the subscription reduced from $1 to 25 cents yearly.

The BOOK REGISTRY gives monthly the full title of all new books (including new editions and importations in editions) published and for sale in this country, so far as information can be obtained, with careful descriptive notes and library headings for the more important, and a classified summary indexing them according to subject.

One copy of this periodical should be kept for daily reference by every librarian, bookdealer, scholar and book buyer, and the reduction in price is made in the hope of accomplishing this generally. Copies should also be kept before the public at the delivery desk of libraries, in reading-rooms, and on the front counter of bookstores, and may be used to show new books received, by checking off with blue pencil.

The titles are printed on one side only of thin paper, so that they may be cut out and pasted for card or book catalogues (by title, author and subject). A set of five copies ($1.25) supplies all the requirements of a library.

This is not an enterprise for the benefit of any publishing house or an advertising sheet, but a legitimate periodical, including books of all publishers, and issued in connection with the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY office, under the bibliographical editorship of F. Leypoldt.

Enclose your 25 cents per copy, in postage stamps or otherwise, and acquaint other book lovers with this useful and remarkably cheap guide to current literature.
