No attempt at display has been made in printing the Catalogue. We have aimed at a description of the books for sale, in the plainest and simplest manner, and we believe we have erred, if indeed it be an error, in giving too poor an account of the splendid treasures which we now offer. Such treasures, we think, as have never before been offered to American buyers.

The well-rounded and graceful culture of the author of "Men and Books " is too well known to need mention, and the subject of which this book treats has been so exemplified in his previous writings that it would be difficult to name another writer who could so surely be selected as an authority in all that pertains to the correct and elegant use of the English language.

JAMES R. OSGOOD & Co. announce three 455 biographies, which promise to be of unusual 462 interest, since the biographers as well as the sub462 jects are popular and well-known writers. The first in order of publication will be the "Life cf Longfellow," by his brother, the Rev. Samuel Longellow, who is the only one authorized by the family to write the life of the poet; Life of Nathaniel Hawthorne," by his talented son, Julian Hawthorne, will follow; and the last, and perhaps the most eagerly looked for, will be the Life of George Eliot," written by her husband, Mr. Cross, who has been at work upon this biography since the death of the great novelist and whose relation to the events he chronicles cannot fail to make the promised book one of most peculiar interest. Another line of readers will be gratified to know that Mrs. Burnett's story," Through One Administration,” will shortly be issued, thoroughly revised and,. in parts, rewritten by the author, since its appeared as serial in the Century; and summer tourists will find "Osgood's Maritime Provinces" a reliable and authentic guide, it having been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. Over 400 circulars were sent to postmasters and others in various towns, to make sure of the accuracy of detail in its descriptions and statistics.. Lovers of poetry and fine book-making will look forward to the publication of Tennyson's "Princess," which will be uniform in size and style with their sumptuous edition of Lady of the Lake;" a cheap edition of the latter is promised and also an illustrated school edition, with notes by Mr. W. J. Rolfe, whose name is. synonymous with good work.
