BOOK NOTICES.

MY THREE CONVERSATIONS WITH MISS CHESTER, by F. B. Perkins. (Putnam.) A strange history of the singular mesmeric influence one mind exercised over another. The story is told in three conversations which the hero has with a Miss Chester, a lady he meets at a Fifth-avenue reception, and who afterwards becomes his bride. The first volume of the "Traveller's Series." Sq. 16mo, paper, 25 cents.

Two KISSES, by Hawley Smart. (Loring.) The two kisses which play such an important part in this novel are the innocent agents which separate a husband and wife. Of course there is a long misunderstanding on both sides,

TION.

WE should be glad to hear more from Mr. Geyer's suggestion for an insurance or mutual benefit association among stationery clerks, which, as a well-known traveller suggested to us, might well take a broader range, to include the clerks of the combined book and stationery trade. How far class associations for insur ance purposes are useful and desirable is of course a mooted point in life insurance, but perhaps the most significant bit of evidence that can be quoted is the fact that the insurance clerks themselves, instead of or besides insuring in their own companies, have a mutual benefit association of the kind, which has so far worked excellently. The principles of their organization are very simple. Each applicant, after passing a careful medical examination, pays an admission fee proportioned to his age, thus equalizing the system with that of the regular companies. There are now several hundred members, and on the death of any one a dollar from each is paid over to his representatives without red tape. The assessments are always kept one ahead, so that payment of losses may be prompt, and the collection is done by the single salaried officer of the association, who receives about $500 per year for the proportion of his time which he gives to this work. The admission fees or a slight yearly tax are usually sufficient to cover the expenses outside of the payments on deaths.

The success of such an organization depends primarily upon the accuracy with which the

tables for admissions are made, the carefulness of medical examination, and the wise selection

UNTIL THE DAY BREAK, by Mrs. J. M. D. Bartlett ("Birch Arnold"). Laura Gordon is the name of the young lady whose heart-experiences fill up this volume. She is an American country girl who has been jilted by a fashionYork to be consoled, in the care of a fashionable city man. Her father sends her to New able aunt, who polishes her up and takes her into society, where she again meets the gay deceiver, and has the pleasure of retaliating by rejecting him in her turn. There is a good deal of light and shade in the book, some very dark pictures of crime and villainy, and some very bright ones of society and society people. The hero of the book turns out to be a "sawdust" man and the son of a murderess, and finally commits suicide, while the heroine through sorrow and trouble is taught to be more true and womanly, and at last reaches the "sunrise." "International Series." 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by Josiah W. Leeds. (Lippincott.) In spite of the numerous histories of the United States that have been written, the present one is noticeable for its comprehensiveness and its thoroughness. Besides giving a full history of our wars, with all the details of the battles, it goes into many side issues, such as the Indians, slaves, the early settlers and discoverers, the Northmen and the Mound-Builders, which have had a strong influence upon our country's welfare, but which are rarely entered into with any tories. The writer is evidently a member of show of completeness by writers of school histhe Society of Friends, as he deprecates the instilling into pupils what he calls "warlike ideas," by merely dwelling upon the wars of our own country; hence his endeavor to supply information of many things in our past and present, a knowledge of which will tend to promote peace and prosperity. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES.

We regret to learn, as we go to press, of the death of the eminent London publisher, Mr. William Longmans.

THE Athenæum denies the statement which has appeared in some American papers that Sir W. Vernon Harcourt has undertaken to write a life of the late Mr. Motley.

MR. GEORGE H. TRIPP is authoritatively announced by Lockwood, Brooks & Co. as the author of that popular novel "Student Life at Harvard," of which they have just published a cheaper edition for $1.

TRÜBNER & Co. have just sent out the "Bibliotheca Orientalis," which is a complete list of books, papers, serials, and essays published in 1876 in England and the Colonies, Germany and France, on the history, languages, religions, antiquities, literature, and geography of the East, compiled by Charles Friederici. The list may be had in New York of Westermann & Co.

E. C. EASTMAN has just published the "Memoir and Official Correspondence of General John Stark," the hero of Bennington, written by his grandson, Caleb Stark. The book contains also biographies of Captain Phineas Stevens and of Colonel Robert Rogers, with an account of his services in America during the "Seven Years' War."

So little is known by the public at large of the laws under which they live and are governed that Thomas L. Smith, late Judge of the Supreme Court of Indiana, has compiled a work called "Elements of the Laws." With this in

his hand, the citizen can acquire a complete knowledge of his legal rights and privileges in the most important political and business relations of the citizen of the country. It will soon be issued.

MR. JAMES T. FIELDS is engaged on two important volumes. The first volume, of about 800 pages, will be entitled "Family Library of English Poetry, from Chaucer to Tennyson," and will contain all the standard poems in the language that are not too long to be embraced in such a collection. The other volume, of the

same size, will bear the title of "Family Library of English Prose, from Sir Philip Sidney to John Ruskin," and will contain specimens of the best prose authors in the language.

PROF. MATHEWS' "Hours with Men and Books" is meeting with a very favorable reception in England. The London Morning Post, in a long review of it, remarks that "a vigorous intellect, wide and attentive reading, a tenacious memory, a lucid and nervous style, are the gifts underlying the pleasant pages of this eminently readable book. . . A storehouse of valuable information and pleasantly imparted, and combined with much originality of thought. Hours with Men and Books' will be welcome on both sides of the Atlantic. These essays evince a high state of culture without a single trace of the bookworm. They

stimulate like wine and refresh the sense like flowers."

LIPPINCOTT & Co. have two new works under way that will be particularly welcome at this season. Every one is now travelling who can, and all works that give information in the way of sketches of travel, stories of adventure, and

66

'descriptions of places, will be eagerly sought after. Just such a work is Persons, Places, and Things," with its two hundred illustrations, and also " Highways and By-ways of American Travel." The latter is made up of contributions from such well-known writers as Edward Strahan, Sydney Lanier, the author of "Florida,” E. A. Pollard, etc. Like its companion, it will have plenty of illustrations. Pegasus Resaddled" is the title of the new work by the author of "Puck and Pegasus," Mr. H. C. Pennell. It will make a small quarto volume, and will contain twelve illus trations by the celebrated artist Du Maurier, all of them full page. One of the handsomest books ever issued by this house will be that of Thomas à Kempis' "On the Imitation of Christ." The illustrations are of the finest order of steel engraving, and are by the most renowned artists of Europe. The binding is extremely appropriate, it being bound in dark vellum with white label.

THE list of Smithsonian publications, as re vised up to July, 1877, shows a total of issues of 319, distributed among its Miscellaneous Collections (octavo), Contributions to Knowledge (quarto), and the Annual Reports to Congress, in addition to which are a number of monographs not appearing in either of the above. As the earlier editions printed were comparatively small, nearly all of the first fifty issues (in chronological order) are now out of print, as are also many of the second fifty; after the first hundred, however, copies of most can be obtained by the public at prices ranging from fifteen cents to twenty dollars. The prestitle, size, date, and price, arranged in order of ent catalogue gives full data as to author, publication; a table of contents of the Contributions and Collections; a list of the Reports; a classification by subject; an index to titles and authors, and the contents of the Reports : the whole forming what would be a model publisher's catalogue.

JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

St. Nicholas

for September will begin George MacDonald's story "Gone Astray," a Scottish narrative which is said to contain many fine touches and descriptions. The same magazine will also soon bring out "Under the Lilacs," a serial which Louisa M. Alcott has been busy writing during the past spring and summer, and a short illustrated story by the author of "Alice in Wonderland."

tember an Lippincott's Magazine will publish in Sepanonymous article on Madame Patterson-Bonaparte, which is likely to attract much attention. In the same number will also appear "Among the Kabyles," by E. C. Bruce; an amusing account of the Venetian playwriter, Carlo Gozzi; and a paper on the Battle of the Brandywine, by Mr. Howard Jenkins.

IN Scribner's Monthly Edward Eggleston's novel "Roxy" will succeed Dr. Holland's Nicholas Minturn." Dr. Eggleston's new work, like his other books, deals with Western life, and is said by some who have seen it in the manuscript to be his most careful and important study of character and life in that part of the country with which his "Hoosier Schoolmaster" and other stories have already made the public somewhat familiar.
