LOCKWOOD, BROOKS & CO., Boston. OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING! The first literary event of importance last year was the publication of Sidonie, by Alphonse Daudet. That for 1878 will be the publication of THE NABOB. By the same distinguished author. This work far surpasses either "Sidonie" or "Jack" in interest, and we believe it will prove the great novel of the year. It has run through seventeen editions in about as many days in Paris. We have proved our faith in it by the payment of $1000 for the advance sheets. We trust the trade will do the same by liberal advance orders. The Nabob will be Volume VI. of the Cobweb Series. VOLUMES PREVIOUSLY ISSUED: 1. SIDONIE, by Alphonse Daudet. 2. FIRST LOVE IS BEST, by Gail Hamilton. 3. VINETA, by the author of "Good Luck." 4. JACK, by the author of "Sidonie.” 5. FORBIDDEN FRUIT, by F. W. Hackländer. The publication of The Nabob will be followed by DOSIA. BY HENRY GREVILLE. This sprightly novel is a Russian Story, and it is believed that the immense popularity achieved by the author in Europe will be followed by a like success in this country. CHATTERBOX FOR 1878. The marked approval with which our reprint of this celebrated annual has been received by the American trade has decided us to announce that we shall positively reprint the volume for the coming year, from the monthly parts, as issued. We make this early announcement that the trade may fully understand that they can depend upon a supply of a reprint in all respects equal, and in some superior, to the English copies, and at a lower price. We shall make favorable arrangements with large purchasers who place their orders early in the year. JUST ISSUED.

Box 4295, N. Y. PUBLICATION Office, 37 PARK Row, N. Y NOTES IN SEASON. D. LOTHROP & Co. issue still another edition of "At Eventide," by Nehemiah Adams, accompanied by a fine photograph of the author. The demand for this book is reported as constantly increasing. They have also just ready "Happy Year," prepared by Miss Lyman, combining with the regular pages of "Daily Food" a complete calendar for each month and several other conveniencies. ESTES & LAURIAT have nearly ready Alphonse Daudet's newest novel, "The Nabob," of which seventeen editions have been sold in Paris in about as many days. In sending out the book the publishers say: "Dealing as the author has with events and persons with which he was intimately associated during the last Empire, and lifting the veil which screened from the outside world the hollowness of the best Parisian society, his revelations have had a startling political significance. His position as private secretary to the Duc de Morny (the real hero of the story) gave him unusual facilities for insight to the real character of persons and events; and he has portrayed them with an unsparing hand." DODD, MEAD & Co. have nearly ready a new work by that strong and wholesome writer of religious fiction, Hesba Stratton, a story extending to four hundred 12mo pages, called "Through the Needle's Eye." They will also have ready shortly a fresh supply of Lübke's "History of Art," of which the first supply was exhausted by the holiday demand. It may be noted that this American edition, in addition to numerous cuts inserted by the American editor, contains all the cuts of the latest German editions. Any seeming omissions of cuts found in the early German copies are accounted for by the fact that in the later German issues a number of cuts were replaced by others more satisfactory or representative. The ROBERTS BROTHERS begin this year's campaign by the issue of two stories, to be published immediately. "The Wolf at the Door," the tenth volume in the " No Name Series," is by a Bostonian, who tells a fresh and readable story of modern life in "the Hub," which has some hits specially intended for that favored locality, but is quite interesting enough to be read, as it doubtless will be, all over the country. other story is "Bessie Harrington's Venture," by Miss Julia A. Matthews, who is quite famous as a teller of stories for young people. This new story is a full-grown novel, somewhat of the type of the popular novels written by the Misses Warner, and is said to be a really powerful story. It is heralded as one of the comparatively few novels that are popular in religious families, without any goody" qualities to render them distasteful to any healthy taste. ་་ AT J. B. Lippincott & Co.'s, the second volume of the Library of Contemporary Science, of which Havelacque's Science of Language was the first, will be ready this week. The subject is one of great interest at the present, owing to Mr. Cook's lectures on Biology. The title is Biology," and the author the famous French scientist, Dr. Charles Letourneau. Another volume of the "Star Series" will be ready in a few days. The author of "Jack Blake" and "Won in a Canter" has just ready a new work, "Grey Abbey." This has been highly spoken of on the other side of the big pond. Lewis A. Sayre, M. D.'s new work will attract the attention of the medical profession. Spinal Disease and Spinal Curvature" is the subject treated, especially their treatment by the new theory of suspension and the use of the plaster of Paris bandage. Dr. Sayre is the Professor of Orthopedic Surgery in Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS have just ready a "Red Ribbon Edition" of John Habberton's temperance story, "The Barton Experiment." The red ribbon is the badge of having signed the Murphy temperance pledge, and the new edition is intended to suggest the answer to the query, "After the red ribbon-what?" that is to say, how to help the drunkard to resist the physical cravings that follow abstinence. Thirty thousand copies of the previous edition have been sold. In addition to the "red ribbon" Habberton book, G. P. Putnam's Sons announce a considerable list for January, as will be noticed elsewhere. The new edition of Parke Godwin's "Cyclopædia of Biography," brought down to date, and made uniform with the new edition of "The World's Progress," and the important monograph of Dr. W. A. Hammond on "Overmental Work and Emotional Disturbance as Causes of Cerebral Congestion," a work especially to be read and applied by members of the literary craft, may both be expected about January 15th. |
