It is uniform with and edited to supplement the Revised Statutes of Indiana of 1881. In the absence of provision for the publication by the State printer of the usual edition, the Secretary of State furnished the editor with full copies of the above acts and resolutions, read the printer's proof-sheets with him, and certified to the correctness of the completed volume. It will therefore be recognized as official and authentic. The volume is well printed on good paper, and bound with law sheep backs and corners.

Revenue Reform Club, February 28, 1883, and before the Young Republican Club of Philadelphia, March 31, 1883. Mr. Baird believing that the first, the greatest, the paramount need of man is that of association, the exchange of services, commodities and ideas with his fellow-men" is a subject that should be well thought over and thoroughly agitated by all, publishes the lecture in this form to further continue the work he has already begun. It can be had by any member of the trade on application to Mr. Baird.

FORDS, HOWARD & HULBERT will have ready early in May a new volume of Our Continent Library, with the interesting title, "A Sylvan City; or, Quaint Corners of Philadelphia." This is by no means a dry description in the guide-book form, but is a new departure from anything of its kind before. It goes into the nooks and corners that nearly all other writers have neglected, and brings before the public gaze many picturesque elements and items of interest, the existence of which has never been suspected, in the way of historical portraits, buildings of the present and past, coats of arms, family portraits, etc. It has been running through Our Continent for the past six months, and has attracted a great deal of attention. The volume will be illustrated with about one hun

dred and fifty fine wood engravings, carefully printed on super-calendered paper. The admiring readers of Albion W. Tourgée's stories will be glad to learn that a new novel from his busy pen is promised almost immediately. With his well-known liking for peculiar titles the Judge has chosen "Hot Plowshares" as the name of the tale, dealing with the anti-slavery sentiment as a force in the social,

THE public interest in the life of President Garfield, says the London Literary World, "shows little abatement, judging from the demand for Mr. Thayer's 'From Log Cabin to White House.' Nearly 90,000 copies have now been printed, including the two new editions (one at Is. 6d. and one at 5s.) which Messrs. Hodder & Stoughton have just issued. The work has also been translated into French, German, and Dutch."

GEORGE BELL & SONS, London, have just issued in their Bohn series a new edition of Lockhart's "Life of Burns," with annotations, an appendix, and a sketch of Lockhart himself by William Scott Douglas. The work thus revised, says the N. Y. Post, is very considerably improved, and the new matter is as interesting as it is valuable. Part of it discusses the paternal

ancestry of the poet, and another straightens out the bibliography of the life, which, it appears, had a fifth but never a second edition. Mr. Douglas' style is not always as correct as Lockhart's, but he was otherwise well fitted to perfect

this standard memorial of Burns."

UNDER the title, "Studies in a Mosque," Mr. Stanley Lane-Poole has brought together a number of essays on the Mohammedan religion, written not for the learned, but for the general reader, which will be eagerly read by religious and philosophical students. They originally appeared in the Edinburgh Review, the Saturday Review, and as an introduction to Lane's" Selections from the Kurán," and cover such topics "The Arabs Before Islam," Mohammed," Islam,' The Koran,' An Eastern Reformation,' "The Brotherhood of Purity," Persian Miracle Play," and "Sabians and the Christians of St. John." The volume is published by W. H. Allen & Co., London.
