TENNYSON'S NEW

HAROLD.

A Drama of the Norman Conquest. By ALFRED TENNYSON.

POEM.

I volume. 16mo. $1.

Author's Edition, from advance sheets. Published simultaneously here and in England.

In this Drama of the Norman Conquest, Mr. Tennyson recreates the historic figures who made the England of that epoch remarkable, King Edward the Confessor, Stigand, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Aldred, Archbishop of York, Count William of Normandy, William Rufus, the sons of Earl Godwin, chief of whom was Harold, last of the Saxon Kings of England, and hero of this Drama.

The life and spirit of the time are depicted with rare fidelity, as are the momentous events that culminated in the battle of Hastings and the inauguration of a new era in English history.

"Harold" is uniform with "Queen Mary," which has had so large popularity.

"This masterly production exhibits the sign manual of the author, and will serve to confirm the fame of Tennyson as a dramatist which he has won by his lyrical and descriptive poetry."-New York Tribune.

By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. Square 16mo. Tastefully bound. $1.25.

"Full of satisfaction for mind, heart, and soul. All are rich in beauty and truth."-Christian Register.

"The Centennial year has given birth to nothing better than these poems."-New York Evening Post.

THE

PRESIDENTIAL COUNTS:

A COMPLETE OFFICIAL RECORD

OF THE

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS AT THE COUNTING OF THE
ELECTORAL VO1ES IN ALL THE ELECTIONS OF PRESI-
DENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES; TOGETHER WITH ALL CONGRESSIONAL
LEGISLATION INCIDENT THERETO, OR

ΤΟ PROPOSED LEGISLATION UPON
THAT SUBJECT.

WITH AN ANALYTICAL INTRODUCTION.

One large 8vo Volume, 750 Pages, Paper Covers, $3.

The decision of the aggregate votes cast for a President is the greatest and most important act relating to every such election. How shall it be done? How shall the result be peacefully and justly decided? How shall the votes be counted? Upon the satisfactory solution of this question hangs the existence of the Government. In these pages the reader will find all that has been proposed or said in Congress on the subject, together with the entire official action of Congress in counting the votes at every previous presidential election.

All the congressional debates on this subject are printed verbatim from the reports in "The Annals of Congress," "Congressional Globe," and Congressional Record," and in every case the pages of the original work are given.

ANNUAL SUMMARIES.

NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS.

The Editor of the "PUBLISHers' weekLY" begs to recall to the attention of publishers the advantage of having their advertisements, at the beginning of the new year, prepared in the form of Complete Lists of their Publications issued during the past year. The number of the "PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY" of January 27 is especially set apart for these Annual Summaries, and will have the additional important feature of an Index, to include all Books so advertised.

This number being kept permanently, for daily reference, on the bookseller's desk, alongside of the Annual, will become specially valuable for advertising purposes.

The utility of Annual Summaries has already been recognized by the leading houses, and the facilities they afford to the dealer in taking and renewing stock, make it desirable that this practice should become a general custom.

[ocr errors]

It is an advantage both for publisher and dealer, that in replacing stock and making out orders, the latter should be in possession of the Special Lists of the publishers from whom he orders. It will save him time and trouble, and will generally induce him to send fuller orders, on detecting at a glance the deficiencies of his

stock.

Publishers who wish to have their books carefully indexed, are requested to furnish their advertising pages at the earliest date possible. The labor and time required for compilation and composition will make it imperative that copy should reach us not later than Fanuary 18.
