trade through the mails must be prepaid, as well as those sent to subscribers, and if this provision is so just, why is that these publishers to whom Mr. Bissell refers do not prepay express and freight charges on other goods sent to their customers, since they appreciate the "justness" of paying the mail charges on their journals? Respecting the discrimination against foreign periodicals we confess that we fail to see the force of Mr. Bissell's remark that it is "a retaliating measure" against the British registry system. England surely would not feel very keenly the blow inflicted by forcing American houses like our own to pay transient rates on imported magazines. Under such "retaliatory measures" would it not be wise to send our subscription lists abroad and have the periodicals mailed direct, in which case they would come in duty free (inserts included!) at really a less cost to us than they would if we paid both duty and home postage under the proposed "retaliatory measure." Very respectfully, J. B. LIPPINCOTT & Co. POST-OFFICE MYSTERIES-THE PLAINT OF AN AUTHOR. NEW YORK, January 1, 1878. To the Editor of the Publishers' Weekly: "NOT even the devil helps poor authors why should the Post-Office? But then even the Post-Office might be civil to them. Are you aware that the present postal laws are enacted expressly to their discomfort? If not, let me draw your attention to the fact : I. While the Department allows as a rule all third-class matter to go for half a cent an ounce, there is one exception, namely, magazine manuscript, which is charged letter postage. We can make an Adams' Express Company of the Post-Office, send silk dresses, dolls, books, shoe-blacking, boots, slippers, confectionery, in short, every thing at nominal rates, but magazine manuscript. A story or essay (to be rejected and returned at our expense) must be paid both ways as a letter. Even book manuscript is allowed to go as third-class matter. Why is this? What is the difference between a book and a magazine? The copyright law makes no such distinction, and a magazine is invariably copyrighted as a book. Is it the design of the government to make us write books rather than scribble for serials? (If so, it is possibly legislating for our best interests, so far as posterity goes; but how, if we can only turn out a magazine article once a month, and must have our bread and butter from that, so we can write further? There is no immortality like the immortality of a book. But will the paternal government pension us while we write books? And if it won't pension us, why should it dicriminate against us?) Perhaps the great magazine publishers are so overrun with manuscripts for their serials, that they have procured this law for the protection of their editors' eyesight. But how about manuscript for newspapers? Is that book manuscript or magazine manuscript ? II. If this law is meant to aid publishers, I am sorry to say it does not quite succeed; for while it allows proof to be sent back to the poor devil of an author for half a cent an ounce, the Department informs me that if they (the publishers) return the manuscripts along with the proof (and of course they do, and must, to insure accuracy) the Department is bound to charge manuscript rates. When a package, that is to say, contains two sorts of matter, the whole is charged for at the rate fixed for the matter charged the highest, so that there is no escape for one or the other of us. It is usually, however, for the other, since the happy publisher can underpay, and make us pay double for his deficiency at this end. So, in any case, say, Mr. Editor, Heaven help poor authors! HENRY W. HASTINGS. BOOK NOTICES. I CYPRUS, ITS ANCIENT CITIES, TOMBS, AND TEMPLES, by General Louis P. di Cesnola. (Harper.) The importance of this work, published simultaneously by Murray in London and by Harper & Brothers in New York, can hardly be overestimated. The results of General Cesnola's explorations in Cyprus have been to give to the modern world the first information it has possessed concerning Phoenician art, and to furnish a series of illustrations in many thousand examples of the art history of the world in what has before been considered-as related to Greek art-the prehistoric period. The Cesnola collections, purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and now permanently established in America, are recognized by archæologists throughout the world as exhibiting the birth, childhood and growth to maturity of that Greek art, which was in one sense the mother of all beautiful art in all subsequent ages. But General Cesnola's book is not a dry archæological treatise. On the contrary, it is a breezy, genial, pleasant story, of the life of an explorer in the island of Cyprus, surrounded by queer people, with whom he has queer adventures, and this life constantly invested with peculiar interest by his excavations and the unearthing of treasures of bronze, alabaster, marble, silver, and gold. The volume is illustrated with several hundred wood-cuts, exhibiting gold and silver jewelry, marble statuary, ceramic art in vases and many other antique forms, engraved gems of rare beauty, scenes of scenery in Cyprus, plans of excavations, maps-in short, all that could be desired in examples of the classes of art which Cesnola has revealed to the modern world. Mr. C. W. King, the greatest living anthority on engraved gems, has added to the book an appendix on the engraved stones, which he regards as among the most important known in the world. This appendix has as great value to the lover of intaglio-work as one of Mr. King's well known volumes, especially as the gems are here illustrated and referred to by number. After this is an appendix by Mr. A. S. Murray, of the British Museum, on the pottery of Cyprus, in which he furnishes an epitome of valuable information. 8vo, cloth $7.50. FERNS OF NORTH AMERICA, by Prof. Daniel C. Eaton of Yale College. (D. E. Cassino, Naturalist's Agency.) This is the first number of a new and important work on ferns about to be published, at intervals of two months. Each part will contain three elegant quarto plates, colored by chromo lithography, giving exact representations of from one to three species each. The paper on which the plates are and eloquence of which he is master, and does full justice to the strong religious vein in Mr. Gerrit Smith's character, without letting his own independent views bias him in the least. There are many points in the book which will be found rich in interest to the student of contemporareous history, such as Mr. Smith's signature to Jefferson Davis' bail bond, his complicity with John Brown, his reasons for supporting Mr. Grant in his second term, etc., etc. The volume is both a contribution to our his beautiful. A fine steel engraving of Mr. Smith adorns the work. 8vo, cloth, $2.25. printed, is the very best in the market. Twenty parts will be required to complete the work: the subscription price being $1 per part, which it is believed, is lower than any work of the same nature and quality yet published. The need of a carefully prepared and thoroughly illustrated work on the American Ferns, has long been felt by those studying these beautiful plants. As yet, no work whatever has made its appearance, which contains even a description of all our American species; and a few that have been figured at all, are found scatter-tory, and a monograph of a character as rare as ed through so many foreign works, that it is quite impossible to find them, even in an excellent library. Prof. Eaton has for a long time had in contemplation the writing of a work which should possess all the requirements of a scientific student, and at the same time be so popular, and so thoroughly illustrated, that those unfamiliar with botanical methods could be able with perfect ease to determine any of Our American Ferns. The cost alone has hitherto prevented any publisher embarking in the enterprize. The present publisher deserves the support of all the botanists in the country for his liberality in bringing a work of so much importance before the scientific world. The services of Mr. J. H. Emerton, so well known for his remarkably accurate and highly finished natural history drawings, have been secured to illustrate the work." Prof. Eaton, is eminently fitted to supply the text, as he possesses one of the largest and finest herbarium of ferns in America. FOREIGN CLASSICS FOR ENGLISH READERS, edited by Mrs. Oliphant. VOLTAIRE, by Col. Hamley (Lippincott). This series, of which "Voltaire" is the second volume, aims in a manner similar to "Ancient Classics for English Readers," to make readers familiar with the great writers of Europe, with whose names they may be perfectly well acquainted, without much knowledge of their works or of their place in the literature of the modern world. A new life of Voltaire, written in the light of advanced modern thought, offered an unworked field in literature, which Col. Hamley has taken advantage of to produce a work full of special interest and value. He gives us a Voltaire not quite so deficient in morals and principles as history has represented him, and far less sceptical in religious matters than approved teachers of to-day. He also weights his reputation as a literary man, and seeks to define the real place he still occupies outside of his own country in the estimation of critical readers. While not holding him up as a pattern man, the new light the author sheds upon his humanity and love of justice, will gain for the name of Voltaire a new liking and an increased respect. 12mo, cloth, $1. GERRIT SMITH, by O. B. Frothingham. A COMPENDIOUS GERMAN AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY, by William Dwight Whitney (Holt). The present dictionary is constructed upon the same plan as Prof. Whitney's vocabulary to his German Reader, and was prepared in response to suggestions and solicitations received from various quarters. Its leading features are: 1, the scheme of meanings of a word is cast into a more systematic form than has been arrived at in other dictionaries, beginning always with the most orginal and etymological, and drawing out the rest according to their relation to this one; 2, the historical correspondences between English and German words are marked by fullfaced type; 3, the etymologies of the German words are indicated very briefly, especially what may be called their internal etymologies, the derivation of German words from one another; 4, the aim has been to bring within the compass of a single moderate volume as much as possible of what would be most useful to the student of German. The work is handsomely and clearly printed, and has, besides the points we have dwelt on, many other innovations and features which recommend it especially to German students. 8vo, cloth, $3.50. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BIBLIOGRAPHY, ETC., by Jos. Sabin. (J. Sabin & Sons, New York.) Librarians and the general reader who desire information concerning books about books will find this compilation a desirable aid. It is an improvement on Mr. Power's "Handy Book about Books," to which it owes its existence, and from which most of its contents are quoted, because it contains additional information, chiefly in the notes appended to titles, derived from a personal examination of the books and from bibliographical resources within the reach of but few. Besides this, the compiler has been fortunate in having the co-operation of one of the foremost of library bibliographers, to whom, in his preface, he pays this deserved tribute: "I cannot close this brief notice without tendering my thanks to Mr. Charles A. Cutler, of the Boston Athenæum, for his valuable aid. When librarians in general can approach his standard of library intelligence, (Put-knowledge by which some of them are now disthere will cease to be that plentiful lack of tinguished." nam.) The story of Gerrit Smith's life is not replete with stirring or remarkable incidents. Its chief interest lies in the man himself and in his exceptional character. He was identified with the anti-slavery movement from its inception, and spent his time, his health, and his money, in bringing about the emancipation of the southern negroes. His philanthropy was his distinguishing trait, and found expression on the side of the weak and oppressed, not only in this country, but all over the globe. Mr. Frothingham narrates his life with all the force CHOICE AUTOBIOGRAPHIES: MEMOIRS OF EDWARD GIBBON, ESQ. With an essay by William D. Howells. (Osgood.) Gibbon's memoir derives its chief interest from the fact that he was the author of the "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." His life was uneventful and he was not a striking figure in the history of his day. His autobiography is nevertheless, an exceedingly interesting one, from the naiveti, with which the great historian tells of the dis appointments and successes which very evenly made up the sum of his existence. The story of his early love for Mademoiselle Curchod, afterwards Madame Necker and the mother of Madame de Staël, is unconsciously amusing. One reads with a smile of the prudence with which he resigned the young girl at the command of his father, and " sighed as a lover," while he obeyed as a son," and how his "wound was insensibly healed by time, absence, and the habits of a new life." Mr. Howells' essay, as usual, is one of the most charming portions of the work. 'Little Classic" style, $1.25. LITTLE POEMS IN A MOTHER'S LIFE, by Mrs. Susan Teal Perry (Moses Warren). Mrs. Perry is a Chicago lady, well known through her contributions to the poet's corner of numerous prominent newspapers. This little volume is intended for the little ones, and is made up of simple, unpretending songs, which will go to both the mother's and the child's hearts. The author, in a modest preface, says, "It is through the earnest solicitation of friends that these poems are given to the public. They were written in odd moods and moments, amid the duties and cares of the household; sometimes sitting by the baby's cradle, oftener amid the children's prattle in the nursery, and some of them in the still hours after the day's duties were over and the little ones asleep." Trusting that they may be a bond of unity between the hearts of many mothers, she submits them with tenderest sympathy and love. The book is handsomely gotten up and handsomely illustrated. Quarto, cloth, gilt edges, $1.50. GENEALOGICAL NOTES, by Lawrence Buckley Thomas. (L. B. Thomas, Baltimore.) Mr. Thomas truly calls himself the" Columbus of a new America," for genealogy is a branch of history that has never been deeply pursued in this country. It is a study full of interest, and of great value for many reasons, and should be encouraged, by a just appreciation of the labor and industry necessary to produce a volume like the present. This work only relates to the pedigree of the Thomas family of Maryland, and the families connected with it, as the Snowden, Buckley, Lawrence, Chew, Ellicott, Hopkins, Rutherfurd, Fairfax, Schieffelin, and others. It is illustrated by several views and numerous coats of arms. The volume is a very beautiful one in get-up, the credit of its entire manufacture being due to Baltimore. But a small edition of three hundred copies has been published. Cloth, $4; half morocco, $5; turkey, $7.50. A MODERN MINISTER, Vol. 1. (Harper.) A novel that opens with one hundred and twenty characters in the first volume, requires a care in reading, that one only with a super-abundance of time and leisure, can bestow upon it. We have penetrated so far through the intricacies, that we can say, that there is a freshness in the style and incidents, which promise a more than usually interesting work. The scene is laid in England, the character being of to-day, and quite out of the ordinary run of novel heroes and heroines. The volume is the initial work of a series, which the author proposes to call "The Cheveley Novels," after Charles Cheveley, Esq., to whom he dedicates this book. The name of the author is a secret which curiosity has not yet unearthed. He | promises to be a new and shining light in the world of fiction. 8vo, paper, 35 cents. EARLY NEW ENGLAND INTERIORS, by Arthur Little. (A. Williams & Co.) These sketches, thirty-six in number, were made from oldfashioned New England houses, which still exist in Salem, Marblehead, Portsmouth, and Kittery. These quaint relics of colonial times have a strong interest, in view of the present rage for old-fashioned things, and " Queen Anne" revivals. It is pleasant to have them thus in a form that time cannot injure, as the ravages of age are fast carrying away the original evidences of our early taste for the simple and the classical. The work is very handsomely gotten up, and will be found full of invaluable suggestions to the architect, the builder, or the man of means and culture, with a mania for building. Quarto, boards, $6. AMES' COMPENDIUM OF PRACTICAL AND ORNAMENTAL PENMANSHIP. (Bicknell & Co.) Penmen and artists have here specimens of almost every kind of work that can be done with the pen. Considerable artistic power and a remarkable skill are shown all through the work, which is quite a gem, typographically-the paper, engraving, etc., all being first class. The contents are 48, 11 x 14 plates, giving more than twenty complete alphabets, with numerous designs for borders, engrossed resolutions, memorials, testimonials, monograms, title pages, etc., all designed by Mr. D. T. Ames. Large quarto, cloth, $5; half leather and gilt, $7.50. THAT LOVER OF MINE. (Peterson.) This is a love story, by the author of "That Girl of Mine." It is romantic and sensational, and has a charming heroine, Phyllis Martyn, who partly tells the story. Her lover, Arthur Stanley, is a warm-hearted, daring fellow, who sticks to her in spite of many trials and difficulties. Perilous scenes by flood and field in Texas, sketches of fashionable life in New York, and quiet pictures of domestic hearth-stones, all cleverly wrought together, form the basis of a volume no experienced novel reader will resign till the end is reached. 16mo, paper, 50 cents. THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD, by Garry Gaines. (Lippincott.) A bright and clever little volume, church, on the street, as a singer, as a flirt, as a showing up the American girl of the period, at cook, at a funeral, as a fashionable mother, etc., etc. Quite humorous, and full of good points. 16mo, paper, 50 cents. CINCINNATI.-S. Brainard's Sons, of Cleveland, have opened a branch house at 74 West Fourth Street, under the firm name of Williams & Manss. NEW YORK CITY.-The late_firm of J. B. Ford & Co. is succeeded by Fords, Howard and Hulbert, consisting of J. B. and G. L. Ford, J. R. Howard, formerly of the manufacturing department, and G. S. Hulbert, of the agency department of the old firm, who will carry on the publishing business at the old stand, No. 27 Park Place. NEW YORK CITY.-Keuffel & Esser have removed to 127 Fulton street and 42 Ann street. PHILADELPHIA.—The partnership of Andrew J. Holman, George S. Lare, and J. Parker Martin, trading as A. J. Holman & Co., at 930 Arch street, Philadelphia, has expired, J. Parker Martin retiring therefrom. Andrew J. Holman and George S. Lare will continue the partnership and business under the same name and at the same place as heretofore. Mr. Martin will remain in charge of the sales department. A. J. Holman & Co., have also recently purchased the Bible and Album business, of Wm. W. Harding, who has retired from the publishing business. PHILADELPHIA.-E. E. Eckstein & Co., composed of Edwin E. Eckstein and Geo. Remsen, Jr., both formerly with Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, have opened a stationery business at 815 Arch street. SULLIVAN, ILL.-Lewis & Lilly, have been succeeded by E. A. Lilly in the book and stationary trade. A NEW HOUSE. THE public sale of the subscription books, office furniture, etc., of the firm of J. B. Ford & Co., on December 24th, completed the realizing of the effects of that house, which thus passes out of trade records. The contract for and other interests in Mr. Beecher's "Life of Christ" were purchased for $1000 by a private buyer, who, it was at first rumored, intended to make the contract the basis of an unfriendly proceeding against the author; but the more recent probabilities are that it was merely a speculation, and that the purchaser will realize a clean business profit by re-sale. The other subscription books, including all the publications of the late firm not sold at the Leavitt sale of Sept. 18, reported in our issue of Sept. 22, and one or two otherwise disposed of,were all bought in at the auction, on private account, and constitute the basis of the business start of a new house under the style of Fords, Howard & Hulbert. The new firm is composed of Messrs. J. B. and E. L. Ford, Mr. J. R. Howard, in charge of the manufac THE NEALE STEEL-ENGRAVING STEAM. turing department of the old house, and Mr. PRESS. THOSE of the trade who have had occasion to Ideal with this branch of the art of illustration, have been much interested for the past two years in the "Neale steam-press" for printing from steel plates, which has hitherto been a slow and expensive hand process. In fact, the delay and cost of this method of illustration has been gradually driving it out of use for the large edi ions of illustrated books of the day, and, as a consequence, the art of engraving on steel has itself been declining. It is already difficult to find good steel engravers. The success of the Neale press, which does its own inking, wiping, polishing, and feeding, and turns off ten impressions a minute, is likely to put a new face upon this branch of work. It has been in use for several months in printing the steel plates for Appletons' Art Journal, and has recently been subjected to a severe experimental test in the Government Bureau of Engraving and Printing, by Hon. Edward McPherson. The press was set up in the Washington Bureau about two months ago, and after a prolonged test, made under the supervision of a committee of experts appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, it has been decided to introduce it into the bureau, and it is expected to use the press for the entire printing of Government issues. George S. Hulbert, in charge of its agency interests. It will occupy itself chiefly with subscription books, but will also publish trade books to some extent, the most prominent being those of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, formerly on the Ford list, and her new novel, "Poganuc People," now running in the Christian Union under a slightly different title. We wish all success to the new firm. STATIONERY NOTES. We shall be glad to receive, for gratuitous notice, samples or brief descriptions of all novelties of general trade interest, of which small cuts will be inserted if furnished. Buyers ordering or mak ing inquiry as to goods from the notices in our columns will confer a favor by mentioning the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY as the source of their information. J. H. BLACK, has started on a western trip. He will represent Victor E. Mauger & Petrie. CHAS. H. IEHLE, formerly with Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, is now with E. E. Eckstein & Co. CARTER DINSMORE & Co, isssue their wellknown calendars this year at $5 per hundred to the trade. H. H. SHEPARDS, Kansas City, Mo., sent out, during the holidays, a neat wallet-shaped encircular. E. E. ECKSTEIN & Co., who are carrying on a wholesale stationery business, would like to receive manufacturers' catalogues. General Spinner, the veteran ex-Treasurer, and Mr. Wyman, the present Treasurer of the United States, who were present one day and examined the working of the press, are quoted as giving their opinion that the work was bet-velope ter done than by hand, and that the press creates a revolutiou in plate printing. The adoption of the steam process of printing, as the press will print both sides of the notes in addition to revenue and other stamps, will, it is calculated, save $20,000 a month in the expenses of the Printing Bureau-no small item for the relief of taxpayers. The management of the business interests of this invention has been for the past year in the hands of Mr. Walter Appleton, formerly of D. Appleton & Co., and everywhere known throughout the trade. T. V. SMITH, 158 William street, will discontinue carrying stock in New York. As he proposes to dispose of his present stock, jobbers will find it to their advantage to purchase. THE beveled-edge monogram cards manufactured by Ph. Hake, New York, surpass anything yet issued in this line of goods by this enterprising stationer. LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES. PIERCE'S "Life of Sumner" has already reached the fourth edition, and promises to go through many a higher figure. "LOVE & DUTY," by Mrs. Hubbuck, author of "May and December," is the twelfth volume issued of "Peterson's Dollar Series, of New and Good Books." MR. EMERSON has been elected one of the foreign associates of the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, the fifth co-ordinate division of the Institute of France. F. B. PATTERSON has published for Gantz, Jones & Co. of this city, a neat advertisement in the shape of "The Adventures of Humpty Dumpty." On the day after Christmas, just before closing up, the employés of D. Appleton & Co. discovered fire in the sub-cellar, which destroyed some Sooo volumes before it could be put out. A. B. DAVENPORT, of Brooklyn, publishes a supplement to the " History and Genealogy of the Davenport Family," the ancestors of which figure conspicuously in the early history of New England. THE final (third) volume of Professor Stubbs's Macmillan & Co. for the Clarendon Press in H. L. HASTINGS, Scriptural Tract Repository, Boston, has just issued a fourth edition of "A Critical Greek and Enlish 'Concordance of the New Testament," prepared by Charles F. Hudson. The work is an invaluable one to Biblical students, and the present edition claims to be freer from errors than any of the previous ones. BRAINARD'S SONS, Cleveland, have just ready a brilliant new collection of music for schools, conventions, choirs, etc., entitled "The Galaxy." The collection is by J. W. Suffern, who, as the author of " The Normal," and other popular music books, is already well known to the public. DAVIS, BARDEEN & Co., having sold nineteen thousand copies of their capital little "Institute Song Budget," a collection of songs and music for schools and educational gatherings, compiled by E. V. De Graff, have been encouraged to issue a new edition, enlarged one-third in size, but at the former price, which they call the "Enlarged Institute Song Budget." "THE SCARLET LETTER," with Mary Hallock Foote's admirable illustrations, is something more, and more permanent, than a holiday giftbook. It is meant to be a standard work of the best type, gratifying the taste, and stimulating the moral and intellectual nature of many generations. Booksellers will do literature and art a good service by promoting its circulation. can Episcopal Church than any other book which has been published. ESSENTIALS AND NON-ESSENTIALS IN RELI GION," by Rev. James Freeman Clarke, just ready in cheap form from the American Unitarian Association, comprises six lectures given on recent Sunday evenings in Boston Music Hall, on Faith and Belief concerning God, Christ, and Christianity, the Bible, the Church, and Worship. Christian Experience, and the Future Life. They are Unitarian, of course, but are presented as far more Christian. J. B. LIPPINCOTT & Co. have published, in connection with the Centennial Photographic Company, a series of four portfolios, under the general title of the "Photographic Souvenir of the Centennial Exhibition." Those who were not so fortunate as to be able to visit the Exhibition, will now be able to do so by the aid of these elegant photographs of the exteriors and interiors of the Exhibition buildings, and of the most striking objects in groups and separately of the Exhibition. There are two sets, a large and a small size, each containing two volumes. Vol. 1 has twenty views, Vol. 2 has fifteen. Large size views $1 each, small 50 cents. A SEQUEL to "Daniel Deronda" is an astounding announcement from Wm. J. Gill & Co., Boston. It will be issued under the title of "Gwendolen, or Reclaimed," and will make a 12mo volume of at least 300 pages. Who George Eliot's audacious rival and successor is, is so far a mystery. Mr. Gill has also in preparation an enlarged edition of his life of Poe, with forty or fifty pages of new matter, including Poe's review of Griswold's "Poets and Poetry of America," of which a copy had been preserved by Thos. Cotrell Clarke, co-editor with Poe of The Museum, in which it was published, and a fac-simile of an unpublished letter from Poe. Chatto & Windus, London, have ordered an edition of this new issue. "THE MARRIAGE-PLATE" is the title of "Ouida's" forthcoming story. MR. FROUDE has written a preface to a series of ten letters on the Eastern Question, explaining the Russian point of view, which will shortly be published in London, from the pen of a Russian lady of European celebrity.
