LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES.

GINN & HEATH have in preparation Chaucer's fine poem, "The Parlament of Foules," edited by Prof. T. R. Lounsbury, of the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale. He is every way competent to edit it, and with his careful introduction, full notes, and glossary, it will be an admirable text-book for the study of old English, and hardly less interesting to the general reader.

THE autograph sale of Bangs & Co., opening June 4th, will be very notable not only for the excellence of the collection, but for the extraillustrated books appended to the catalogue. These comprise a copy of Miss Booth's History of the city of New York, extended to 21 vols. by the insertion of all sorts of rarities, portraits, maps, autographs, paper currency, playbills, pamphlets, etc., to the number of several thousand; a history of our war, made up from World clippings; Bancroft's United States and Parton's Franklin, with any quantity of inserts, and other books to make a collector

mad.

Mr. W. D. HOWELLS, writes the Boston correspondent of the Tribune, has been for some time maturing plans for a library of select autobiography. He has now entered into arrangements with Messrs. J. R. Osgood & Co., and will at once begin preparing for the press several volumes, to be issued next autumn. The plan of this series is new and excellent. Autobiographies of all countries and of various classes will contribute to this new series; and

|

what will lend them a particular advantage rarely secured for enterprises of this sort is that Mr. Howells promises a careful introduction to each work. This introduction will supply interesting items of history and narrative not given in the body of the book, will clear up obscure points occurring in the narrator's story, and also make use of passages from the best writers who have discussed the autobiographers themselves. The books are to be given the popular "Little Classic" form.

A NEW edition of "The Last Will and Testament," comic operetta by Karl Merz, recently published by John Church & Co., Cincinnati, is in press, the first having been exhausted within sixty days of its first publication. A new edition of "Ruth," the new opera by Butterfield, has also been published.

HITCHCOCK & WALDEN, Cincinnati, have just issued "Jasper and Gold," a choice collection of song gems for Sunday-schools, social meetings, etc., by T. C. O'Kane, so widely known by his popular and sprightly songs for children. The work is issued in the usual style, oblong | octavo, and sells for thirty-five cents in boards. MR. W. A. HOUGHTON is representing John Church & Co. on the Pacific Coast.

LOCKWOOD, BROOKS & CO. are engaged upon a profusely illustrated popular work, entitled "The Story of Creation," by Dr. S. M. Campbell of Rochester, N. Y., which it is hoped to have ready next month.

THE sale of George Herwegh's "Neue Gedichte," published in this country by Carl Dörflinger, Milwaukee, is likely to be quickened by the fact that the Swiss edition has been suppressed in Germany.

KELLY, PIET & Co. have just issued "Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Marylanders," by Esmeralda Boyle, which embrace the names of Charles Carroll, William Pinkney, Anne Moncure Crane (the author of

Emily Chester"), William Henry Rinehart, Francis Scott Key, and others. They have also just published a new story for young girls, | Known too Late," by the author of " Tyborne."

"OUR NATIONAL BANE; or, The Dry-Rot in American Politics," a tract for the times touching civil-service reform, by George L. Prentiss, has just been published by A. D. F. Randolph & Co.

DAVIS, BARDEEN & Co., Syracuse, have added to their list of publications "The Diadem of School Songs," by Wm. Tillinghast, 'Frobisher's Good Selections in Prose and Poetry," both works having formerly been published by J. W. Schermerhorn & Co.

THE National Temperance Society and Pub. House has just issued a characteristic publica

tion, "Moody's Talks on Temperance," with anecdotes and incidents in connection with the Tabernacle temperance work in Boston, compiled and edited by Rev. James B. Dunn.

THOMPSON, BROWN & Co. have just brought out a new revised edition, with valuable explanatory notes prepared by Hon. Edmund L. Cushing of Luther S. Cushing's well-known "Manual of Parliamentary Practice."

We learn with regret as we go to press, that Mr. Fletcher Harper is seriously ill with gastric fever, his physicians having little hope of his recovery. Though in poor health for some months, he was not considered dangerously sick until within a few days, and his recovery has been bu just given up. It is feared that he can live but a few hours.
