press by the same house, who have also nearly ready a new novel in their admirable " Odd Trump" series, entitled "The Clifton Picture," by J. G. A. Coulton.

HOUGHTON, OSGOOD & Co. publish this week in their series of "Choice Autobiography" the "Memoirs of Francois Marmontel," to which is prefixed a charming essay by Mr. Howells. This series has attracted the attention of discriminating readers, who agree with the Hartford Courant in regarding it as perhaps "the most delightful set of republications that we have had in this country.' The one hundred and third "Vest-Pocket" volume is issued this week. It contains St. Pierre's "Paul and Virginia," an excellent 50 cents' worth of story.

MRS. STOWE's new novel is at last finished, and its publication is announced by Fords, Howard & Hulbert for May 22. It is spoken of as one of her brightest and best Yankee stories, and, with the illustrations by Fredericks and White, and the new and handsome cover-design, will undoubtedly have a popular

run.

A reduction in the price of "My Wife and I," and "We and Our Neighbors," from $1.75 to $1.50, is also announced, and a change of binding to correspond with "Poganne People," the new novel. These two favorite tales (one having sold some 55,000 and the other nearly 40,000) will of course follow the general rule, and take a fresh start with the author's new book.

ROBERTS BROTHERS are now ready to receive generous advance orders for H. H.'s new book, Bits of Travel at Home," containing upwards of 400 pages of brisk and thoughtful descriptions of scenery and travel-sketches in Colorado and California; the second volume of "The Bible for Learners," comprising the kings and prophets, and completing the Old Testament, with an index to both volumes; and Aspiraingly impressive and beautiful religious antions of the World: a Chain of Opals," a strikthology which Mrs. Lydia Maria Child has gath

Rollin, a Western artist, is intended to meet the want of a practi-written in the character of Samuel Stapleton, ventures of an American Consul Abroad," cal hand-book for beginners in art, giving in small space the general and technical information desired. It looks as though Mr. Rollin has made a book which will be of still wider service to many picture lovers.

BURNTON & COREY have about ready a "Hand-Book of Patriotism," containing the declaration of independence, articles of confederation, constitution of the United States and amendments, Washington's farewell address, Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, second inaugural address, and oration at Gettysburg. It will be neatly gotten up in paper covers, and retailed at 25 cents a copy.

Esq., late United States consul at Verdecuerno, but really based on Mr. Monti's own experience and observations while consul fourteen years at Palermo, Sicily, and worth reading for entertainment, for information, and for its very open hints of the need of common sense in appointing and retaining consuls and other United States envoys abroad; "The Fall of Damascus," a historical novel, by Chas. W. Russell, written so vividly as to fix attention, and quite sure of a wide reading; Mr. Geo. M. Baker's
