In his preface, Baron Tauchnitz expresses "his deep feelings of thankfulness to God for having permitted him to carry on his undertaking for the long period of forty years, during fifteen of which his eldest son, Bernhard, supported him with the greatest devotion." Likewise the publisher gratefully remembers those writers of his collection who have passed away, leaving their works as memorial stones of their talent and fame. The editor

The prescience with which they have adapted their undertakings to the advancing tide of education has been one of the secrets of their success, and a rare capacity for organization has enabled them to increase their estab

that occasion, many friendly and kind opinions upon the work of Professor Morley, as well as upon the Tauchnitz edition in general, both in English, German, American, Italian, and French newspapers. The collection, now having arrived at the stately number of 2100 volumes, includes all the great names of English and American literature, of the past and present, from Chaucer to Tennyson; Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne to Mark Twain-a wonderful monument of diligence and energy.

Of the life of Baron Tauchnitz, who lives to enjoy the well-deserved renown which his indefatigable industry has won him, the following dates will be interesting. Christian Bernhard, Baron Tauchnitz, is descended from a family of printers. He is the nephew of Carl Christoph Traugott Tauchnitz, who, in 1798, founded at Leipzig a printing and publishing firm, issuing Greek and Latin classics in stereotype edition, valuable dictionaries and Bibles, as well as the Koran in the original Arabian text He died in January, 1836. His nephew, who was born on the 25th of August, 1816, at Schleinitz, near Norumburg (Prussia), had worked in in his uncle's office, and now, in 1837, established a printing firm under his own name. He first devoted his attention to the publication of valuable works in the department of law, which is still continued, though far greater interest belongs to the famous edition in which the publisher incorporated, in 1866, the "Collection of German Authors," destined to popularize German literature in England, "La France Classique,' dictionaries, Bibles, etc For the great services which the publisher rendered to the promotion of English literature, as well as for his benevolent and humane efforts for the welfare of society, Tauchnitz was created a baron in 1860, by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and honored with orders and decorations. In his castle at Kleinzschocher, near Leipzig, the chief attraction of which is the library, with a collection of the two thousand and more volumes of the edition,' the Baron enjoys the the ease and tranquillity of rural retirement. By will of the King of Saxony, he is Peer of the First Chamber of the Saxon Parliament, and, by the English Government, appointed Consul-General for Saxony. Of his two sons, Bernhard and Paul, the latter is an officer in the Prussian army; the former has already been mentioned as his father's partner in the well-known firm, which he entered in 1866. We may conclude with the hope that the Tauchnitz collection, as well as the highly-respected name of the baron's family and firm, will continue to prosper for many years to come.

R. R. DONNELLEY & SONS. Extract from the Chicago Stationer and Printer. DONNELLEY, GASSETTE & LOYD, one of the largest printing and bookmaking houses in the West, has recently changed its name to that of R. R. Donnelley & Sons. The senior member of the corporation has held a large majority of the stock for some time, having bought the interests of Mr. Norman T. Gassette and Mr. Alexander T. Loyd, and in making the change Mr. Donnelley looked into the future, when his boys would be associated with him, and so named the new concern.

The house is one of the oldest in the city, having gradually grown from a very small one to its present truly great proportions. It is about twenty years since Mr. R. R. Donnelley came from Canada, and associated himself with Mr. Leroy Church and Mr. Edward Goodman, forming the widely known house of Church, Goodman & Donnelley, which was located at 51 and 53 La Salle St. Under the energetic management of Mr. Donnelley, as practical partner, the business outgrew the old premises, and a lease was made of the Kendall building, corner Washington and Dearborn Sts., the present site of the Equable Insurance building. With increased room and facilities the growth of trade was unprecedented. From this beehive twenty-three periodicals were issued, including The Spectator, the great insurance journal of New York, The American Builder, the authority in that line in this country. From this press-room Mr. A. N. Kellogg, the father of patent insides," made his first venture. Το do this work in those days a Hoe drum was occupied the greater part of three days per week. In a decade how this branch of trade has grown!

66

In 1870 a few prominent business men conceived the idea of establishing a large publishing concern in Chicago, which would compete for Western trade with Eastern houses. Mr. Donnelley was induced to enlist in the enterprise, and the machinery and business of Church, Goodman & Donnelley was purchased, forming the nucleus of the Lakeside Publishing and Printing Company, with a capital of $500,000. Within a year Mr. Donnelley had placed the

majority of stock, selected a site for the new building, and four of the six stories of that classic structure, known as the Lakeside Building, were erected, when the great fire that swept over Chicago laid it in ruins. Saturday night Mr. Donnelley considered himself worth $60,000. Monday night a few cents was all he had. After helping to shelter and feed the poor unfortunates of the North Side he turned his attention to business. He rented the third floor of 103 and 105 Canal St., at $5,000 per annum, and that night started for New York for a new plant. The fire left him $10,000 in debt, but he returned with one of the best equipped offices in the city. Mr. Dounelley started in this new enterprise alone, and his success will be understood, when a year and a half afterward he turned over to the re-formed Lakeside Company his establishment valued at $27,000. He rebuilt the Lakeside Building, and to-day it stands one of the most beautiful of our city edifices.

Mr. Donnelley and Mr. Loyd originated The Lakeside Library, which created such a revolution by cheapening good literature. The Lakeside was the pattern after which so many publications of that class copied.

Mr. Donnelley associated with Mr. Cox and formed the bookbinding house of A. J. Cox & Co., in 1873, and immediately after made a contract with Capt. A. T. Andreas for printing and binding, amounting to $53.000, the largest single contract of that nature ever let in the West by private parties.

The present location of business is 140, 142, 144 146 Monroe Street. The elevator lands you on the fifth floor, the entire space of which is Occupied by R. R. Donnelley & Sons. It is 90 x 190 feet, being the largest printing office on one floor to be found in this country.

BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS.

From he Critic of May 19.

THE peculiarly practical nature of the best American writing about books as books is shown to the full in the series of little volumes which Mr. F. Leypoldt is now publishing. They are books of a kind which could not be written in any other country, because in no other country is the practical application of library science as advanced as it is in these United States. They are books of a kind which would hardly find readers in any other country, because in no other country are the desire for reading and for self-improvement and the faculty of self-help as widespread and as nearly universal as it is in the United States. In no other country, for example, has a serious attempt been made to link the public library to the public schools, and to make the public library what some of the ablest of American librarians declare that it ought to be--namely, the people's university. "Libraries and Schools" (F. Leypoldt) is edited by Mr. Samuel S. Green, the well-known Librarian of the Free Public Library of Worcester, Mass. It is a reprint in a convenient form of six articles, two of which are by Mr. Green himself, and the others by Mr. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., Mr. Robert C. Metcalf, and Mr. W. E. Foster. Of these perhaps Mr. Adams' article on "The Public Library and the Public School" is the most important, as it is the best known to the general public. But all of the papers deserve and will no doubt receive thoughtful consideration. Mr. W. E. Foster, the inventor and editor of the admir

able Monthly Reference Lists, is the librarian of the Providence Public Library. Besides contributing two papers to Mr. Green's volume he has just put forth in the same series an excellent hand-book of practical information, Libraries and Readers" (Leypoldt). This too is in great measure a reprint-chiefly from the pages of the ever praiseworthy and painstaking Library Fournal. Mr. Foster's aim is to show how the aimless reader of the ordinary public library, the man or woman who "wants a book" but does not know what book, or even what sort of book, may be led to take a lively interest in books and the library. Here Mr. Foster speaks as one having authority, because in doing this very thing he has been most successful. His little book is to be recommended in the highest manner to all who seek to improve the quality of their reading, or who desire to give aid and advice to others.

'Books and How to Use Them : Some Hints to Readers and Students," by J. C. Van Dyke (Fords, Howard & Hulbert), is closely akin in object to Mr. Foster's more compact and concise booklet, but it is not as direct or as simple in its teachings. Still it is a book likely to be of use. Its advice, often a little high-flown in expression, is generally sound, and may be followed with safety. We note (on p. 30) a curious bracketing of the names of George Arnold and Poe, as though they were writers of an equal and equally undeserved reputation. And on p. 141, Mr. Van Dyke speaks of Poole's Index as only "dating down to 1853."

OBITUARY.

EDOUARD LABOULAYE,

"By the death of Edouard René Lefebvre Laboulaye, France," says the N. Y. Times, "loses one of the most learned and conservative of her public men. At the time of his death he was 72 years old, having been born in Paris on Jan. | 18, 1811. He studied law, and became a writer upon topics connected with it. At the same time he followed the trade of type-founder, and upon the title-page of his first important work A History of the Law of Property in Land in Europe, from the Time of Constantine to Our Own Days'-he announced that fact. The book mentioned was crowned by the Academy. His next important literary production was 'An Inquiry into the Civil and Political Condition of Women, from the Time of the Romans Down to Our Own Days,' which was crowned by the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. During the American civil war M. Laboulaye was a firm friend of the Union, and wrote much and often in favor of the cause of the North in the journals of Paris. He wrote a Political History of the United States' in 1849, and a work on The United States and France,' in 1862, and he edited Channing's works, introducing the one slavery by an admirable essay, which went far to arouse a spirit of abolitionism in France. His book entitled 'Paris en Amerique' also had a great success. His literary, political, and law works are too numerous to be mentioned in detail. They show that he had a wonderful power of adaptation and facility of expression. M. Laboulaye was a member of the French Institute, but not of the Academy. He was a candidate for the seat of Sylvestre de Sacy in 1880, but Maxime du Camp was elected over him.

WILLIAM PHILIP NIMMO.

MR. WILLIAM PHILIP NIMMO died at Edinburgh, April 16, aged 52. The deceased, who was a native of Edinburgh, says the London Bookseller, 66 was at the age of fourteen apprenticed to Messrs. W. Blackwood & Sons, and on the expiry of his term of six years, came to London, and obtained a situation at Messrs. Simpkin & Marshall's, where he remained three years. After this he was engaged for twelve months in winding up the insolvent estate of Messrs. Clarke & Beeton. Returning to Edinburgh in December, 1855, he commenced a wholesale miscellaneous book business, and obtained several valuable agencies from leading London publishers. Gradually he introduced the publishing business; his first essay being Sam Slick's works, which he published in connection with the late Mr. David Bryce. In 1860, he started a branch business in Glasgow, which was carried on for three years, and then discontinued with the agency and wholesale business in Edinburgh. He now confined his attention to publishing; the works produced being chiefly high class non-copyright works, nicely printed and attractively bound. 'Nimmo's Poets' have become famous all over the world. There was also a long series of royal 8vo volumes, and many series of children s reward books. Personally, Mr. Nimmo was much liked by all with whom he came into personal contact; he was of winning, gentlemanly manners, and never said or did an unkind thing. The business will, we understand, be carried on by his trustees under the management of Mr. Hay, who was taken into partnership five or six years ago."

Company have been printed and distributed. Prof. H. Newell Martin's lecture, "How Skulls and Backbones are Built," is a popular but very thorough piece of work, illustrated with woodcuts. Dr. Henry Sewall lectured on the title How We Move," Dr. William T. Sedgwick spoke on 'Fermentation," and Dr. William K. Brooks on 'Some Curious Kinds of Animal. Locomotion." These lectures are the result partly of the wish of President J. W. Garrett to instruct his employés, partly of the attempt on the part of the Johns Hopkins University to make the institution something more than a training-school for specialists and to popularize scientific subjects in Baltimore by means of lectures. Copies of the pamphlet can be had by written or personal application at the President's office in Baltimore.
