Since I began my present business, my firm conviction was, that the antiquarian bookseller can largely serve sciencebibliography or literary history especially, without forgetting his own profit, provided his mind be not wholly engrossed by money-making speculations. No trade is so admirably adapted to benefit science and mercantile interests at the same time. An antiquarian bookseller, who is not himself a student also, or at least desirous of furthering science by the aid of his connexions, researches, and stock, is not the right man in the right place, and in this particular line of trade he will hardly be as successful as he might be in another less scientific calling. Experience has amply shown me that this opinion-merely a loose impression when I first started in business-was correct.'

The death of Frederik Muller is a great loss to his country. He worked strenuously for it, and to a great extent with a total disregard to his own material interest. He has probably rendered more services to Literature, History, and Philosophy, than many a learned professor who looks superciliously down upon the work of any man not belonging to one of the learned professions. In a material age he was a worthy successor of the famous erudite booksellers of the past, and it may be with safety asserted that his memory will live in the annals of the book trade, when the names of the book manufacturers and panderers to the depraved tastes of his own times have been consigned to the limbo of wellmerited oblivion. Indefessus favente Deo! T.

FACSIMILE OF THE INDULGENCE ISSUED BY POPE LEO X.— We have much pleasure in recording that Mr. J. T. Taylor has made a contribution to the history of the Reformation of no small value by presenting to the public the facsimile of the famous indulgence, issued by Pope Leo X. A.D. 1517, It is curious to note the incongruities presented to our notice by this document, the importation of alum from Turkey being classed with crimes of such exceptional atrocity, that they were excluded from indulgence granted to other offences, however grave and enormous. This is, however, accounted for, when we take into consideration the fact that the mines of alum at Tolfa discovered by John de Castro during the pontificate of Pius the Seeond, and only a few years after the taking of Constantinople by the Turks, still brought in large revenues to the Papal See. Previously to their discovery almost all the alum used in Europe was obtained from Turkey. Castro represented to Pope Pius that he had "found seven hills so abundant in it that they would be almost sufficient to supply seven worlds," and he urged as a reason for the Pope undertaking to "furnish alum to all Europe" that "that gain which the Turk used to acquire by this article being thrown into your hands will be to him a double loss." hope Mr. Taylor's work will meet with the attention and appreciation it deserves. At present the facsimile, with the interesting text that accompanies it, is only to be had in vol. viii. of D'Aubigné's "History of the Reformation in Europe.'

We

ANCIENT SCOTTISH WEAPONS.-George Waterston and Sons announce that they have in the press a reproduction of the collection of drawings by the late James Drummond, R.S.A., of Ancient Weapons, Ornaments, etc., chiefly of the Scottish Highlands, which they expect to be ready for issue within about six months' time. These drawings were very carefully executed by Mr. Drummond in water colour for his own use, the few specimens which are not Scottish having either been such as were in use in Scotland, or considered worthy of being figured for purposes of comparison. At Mr. Drummond's death the collection was esteemed so valuable, on account of its national representative character, that it was acquired by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland for their library, and the council of the society have granted the publishers permission to issue the collection in this form to the public. The weapons and other articles delineated are not only faithfully represented in form, but their texture and condition are rendered completely in colour. They will be reproduced as nearly as possible in facsimile. Examples are given of swords, targets, spears, axes, halberds, muskets, fowling-pieces, powder horns, pistols, dirks, sporrans, brooches, etc. Many are rare and curious, and others are fine representatives of the class to which they belong. Mr. Joseph Anderson, Custodier of the National Museum of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, has consented to write an introduction and a series of notices of the different plates. The work will consist of upwards of fifty plates, illustrating, and in some cases giving enlarged details of, upwards of two hundred and forty objects. The whole will be issued in a folio volume, size 16 by 12 inches, half-bound in morocco. Only five hundred copies will be sold, each numbered. Sufficient plates will be printed to ensure that number being perfect, but none will be sold beyond the five hundred numbered copies.

WHO WAS SCOTLAND'S FIRST PRINTER ?- Mr. Robert Dickson, F.S.A., Scot., has at length set at rest the moot question, "Who was Scotland's First Printer P" in an elegantly printed little brochure on antique hand-made paper with a parchment cover in the olden style. Mr. Dickson conclusively proves that Andrew Myller first introduced printing into Scotland, and Walter Chepman, who has generally been supposed to have been the man, merely found the capital with which Andrew Myller worked, or was, in point of fact, his

business partner. This little book is another fine specimen of what Messrs. Blades, East & Blades can do in the way of printing. It is published by Trubner & Co., Ludgate Hill, London.

THE NEWE WORLDE.-Mr. W. George, of Bristol, has issued a quaint Catalogue of the Newe Worlde, the British Plantynges, and of those parts knowen in theyse later dayes as The United States.' The catalogue contains some books on America that are now scarce and difficult to obtain.

GILBERT AND RIVINGTON'S TYPES.-We have received from Messrs. Gilbert and Rivington, the eminent Oriental printers, a copy of their new specimen book of foreign types, which, it may be truly said, is a great linguistic curiosity, interesting to every philologist, and especially to every Orientalist. To the enterprise of this firm, not only the India Office and the British Museum, but the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and similar bodies, are largely indebted for the means of promoting the objects of these Associations. This book shows that all the difficulties have been successfully surmounted as were naturally offered in the preparation of the types for printing such languages as Chinese, Japanese, Bengali, Coptic, Singhalese, Burmese, Tamil, Hebrew, Syriac. Syro-Chaldaic, Arabic, Persian, Pushtu, Turkish, Mongolian, Hindustani, Canarese, Russian, Servian, Sanskrit, Gujarati, Marathi, Assamese, Telugu and a host of others, representing in fact, every known language. It is far better than their former one, although that was considered sufficiently interesting to be placed, with other curiosities of the nineteenth century, in Cleopatra's Needle, when it was permanently fixed on the Thames Embankment. Such a collection of types is one of the curiosities and marvels of the printing trade, and the book itself is a mode! of artistic printing, that would do honour to the wealthiest and most learned of academies. Great consternation arose at the British Museum a few years ago, when nearly the whole of these types were destroyed by fire, during the process of printing several catalogues of Oriental works for that institution. The authorities were afraid that the printed sheets destroyed could not be re-produced; but when they were shown that the valuable punches and matrices required for re-casting the type were all preserved, and that the sheets could be reprinted, their fears were set at rest. We must not conclude our notice without congratulating Mr. Elijah Cornish, the head of Messrs. Gilbert and Rivington's Oriental Department, on his successful performance of the most difficult task of collecting and putting together the characters of the Eastern and Western races. It is owing to his efforts that the printing establishment of Messrs. Gilbert and Rivington ranks now for its Oriental division amongst the foremost establishments of the world.

A NATURALIST'S DIRECTORY.-Mr. S. E. Cassino deserves the thanks of scientists for a Naturalist's Directory of America for 1880. It contains the names, addresses, special departments of study, etc., of the Naturalists, Chemists, Physicists, Astronomers, etc., etc., and a list of the Scientific Societies, of Scientific Periodicals, and the Titles of Scientific Books of America, this latter ranging from July 1, 1879, to October 1, 1880. Mr. Cassino has in contemplation an International Scientists' Directory, which is a publication much wanted. CHAMISSO'S FAUST.-Henry Phillips, jun., A.M., Ph.D., of Philadelphia, has translated the Dramatic Sketch Faust. by Adalbert von Chamisso (1803). Chamisso's Faust was one of the twenty-nine Fausts by various authors, which appeared in Germany during the sixty-one years in which Goethe was engaged upon his master-piece. Mr. Phillips says Chamisso is best known by his least important work (Peter Schlemil), and has sunk into unmerited oblivion. The translator has evidently done justice to Chamisso, and in his labour of love

has produced an English version mirroring the original as nearly as possible. This little work is only printed for private circulation in an edition of 100 copies.

ORIENTAL CONGRESS.-Prof. Dillmann, the President of the Fifth International Congress of Orientalists, to be held at Berlin from the 12th to the 17th of September, 1881, has sent out his invitations to Orientalists. Those who wish to take part in the proceedings have to take tickets (10s. or marks), which can be obtained of Messrs. F. A. Brockhaus, Leipsic, Asher and Co., Berlin. Those who intend to read papers should signify their intention to the President, or to the Members of the Committee as under:-The President of the Committee, Prof. Dr. Dillmann, SW., Grossbeerenstr. 68; Prof. Dr. Dieterici in Charlottenburg, Hardenbergstr. 6; Gymnasial-Director Dr. A. Kuhn; Geh. Reg. Rath Prof. Dr. Lepsius; Geh. Ober Reg. Rath Dr. J. Olshausen; Prof. Dr. Sachau, W., Hitzigstr. 7; Prof. Dr. J. Schmidt, W., Lützower Ufer 24; Prof. Dr. W. Schott; Prof. Dr. Schrader, NW., Kronprinzen-Ufer 20; Prof. Dr. Weber, SW., Ritterstr. 56.

JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY, NORTH CHINA BRANCH.-The 15th issue of this Journal for the year 1880 is in the press, and will contain the following papers, amongst others: Early European Researches into the Flora of China," by Dr. E. Bretschneider, Physician to the Russian Legation at Peking; "Coins of the present dynasty of China," by Dr. Bushell, Physician to H.B.M. Legation at Peking; On the Geology of Takow, Formosa; On the Geology of the Pescadores; "On the Hydrology of the Yangtze, the Yellow River and the Peiho." by H. B. Guppy, M.B, R.N. Trübner & Co. are the London agents.

ENGLISH AND CHINESE IDIOMS.-Kong Ki Chin, of the Chinese Educational Institution, at Hartford, Conn., has in preparation a work on English Idioms and slang expressions, and the Chinese forms of the same ideas, with notes on China and Chinese literature.

SPELLING REFORM.-To the friends of Spelling Reform:The Spelling Reform Association of the United States has established a "Bureau of Information" for mutual benefit and solicits the co-operation of all who favour the amending of English spelling. We want: 1. Notices of papers read and lectures delivered bearing upon spelling reform pro or con, with very brief extracts if practicable.-2. Copies of all articles on spelling reform in newspapers and magazines. 3. Copies of all books or pamphlets treating the subject in whole or in part. 4. Reports of discussions on the subject by Institutes, Conventions, etc. 5. Accounts of the formation of Branch Spelling Reform Associations, their time and place of meeting, with abstracts of their proceedings. 6. Of items gathered from the schoolroom or elsewhere, illustrating the advantages of phonetic teaching, reading, writing, and printing. 7. Any other information not included in the foregoing and of interest to spelling reformers. This information will be tabulated, and abstracts of it published from time to time, and is of the utmost importance, as by it the public will learn the real extent of the spelling reform movement. It is hoped that every friend of improved spelling will contribute his part to the Bureau of Information promptly and carefully. This information and all correspondence should be sent to the Corresponding Secretary, Mr. T. R. Vickroy, 1117 North 25th St., St. Louis, Mo., U.S.A. F. A. March, President. Melville Dewey, Secretary. THE CRITIC. A literary and artistic paper has been started this year in New York, under the title of the Critic. It will be published fortnightly, and, if we may judge of its merits by the third number now before us, it is well worthy of patronage. Walt Whitman contributes an article on the death of Carlyle, and future numbers will contain "Nights with Uncle Remus."

JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY.-From the Annual Report of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, we get a pamphlet giving a system of the twenty Fellowships, each yielding five hundred dollars, annually open to competition, with a roll of Fellows.

LIBRARY ITEMS.-Harvard University Library Bulletin. No. 17, contains: Suggestions of Subjects for Students' Work in Physics, and continuations of the Bibliography of Fossil Insects," "Halliwelliana," and the "Calendar of the Lee Manuscripts."-The Bulletin of the Boston Public Library, January, No. 56, contains: "Renaissance, Pt. 3," and a list of "Massachussetts Election Sermons."-The Bulletin of the Library Company of Philadelphia, January, 1881, contains a list of additions since July, 1880.

NUMISMATIC AND ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY OF PHILA

of the Society for 1880," Act and Bull, a paper on fixed anniversaries," and "Notes upon a Denarius of Augustus Cæsar," a paper read before the Society February 5th, 1880, by H. Phillips, Jun., Corresponding Secretary.

THE LIBRARY JOURNAL.-It has been decided to continue the Library Journal in a size and style more adapted to the wants and means of librarians than was the old one, with its large-sized page printed on heavy pressed paper. The publisher and proprietor announces that the new journal will consist of about sixteen pages of matter, and he hopes by trying to meet the wishes of the friends who have hitherto supported it at the same time to enlarge its sphere of usefulness and its circle of subscribers. Mr. Melville Dewey resigns all connection with the journal in future. The first number for January has just appeared. The terms are 15s. per annum. Trübner & Co. being the European agents.

BIBLIOTHECA MEDICA.-Messrs. Robert Clarke & Co., of Cincinnati, have just published a fourth edition of their Bibliotheca Medica, a Catalogue of American and British Books, Periodicals, Transactions, etc., relating to Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Chemistry, and Kindred Subjects, Classified by Subjects, with an Index of Authors.

THE HARVARD REGISTER.-This periodical has with the commencement of this year altered its form to a royal 8vo. The January number contains an excellent portrait of H. W. Longfellow, with an article on him by W. D. Howells, A.M., editor of the Atlantic Monthly." Mr. Moses King, the editor of the Harvard Register," makes an appeal in this number for support to the new series of his magazine, and states that the first number has been sent to 6000 people who would be likely to be interested in its continuance. We heartily wish it success, but we fear it is too local a publication to interest the outside public.

OUR LITTLE ONES.-There are very few juvenile periodicals which meet the requirements of very young children, but we think "Our Little Ones," published by the Russell Publishing Company, Boston, fulfills the condition. There is no expense spared with the illustrations, and the text comes really within the comprehension of the little ones.

UNITED STATES GEOGRAPHICAL SURVEYS WEST OF THE 100TH MERIDIAN.-Volume VI. Botany, containing reports upon the botanical collections made in portions of Nevada, Utah, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, during the years 1871-2-3-4 and 5, by J. T. Rothwick, with the assistance of nine other scientists, has just been issued. This important survey, in charge of First Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, under the direction of Brig.-General A. A. Humphreys, will, when completed, consist of seven volumes and a topographical atlas. The following list will show of what each volume consists. Vol. 1, Geographical Report; vol. 2, Astronomy and Hypsometry; vol. 3. Geology and Mineralogy; vol. 4, Palæontology; vol. 5, Zoology; vol. 6, Botany; vol. 7, Archæology.

THE AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.-The Bulletin, No. 5, 1879, of this Society, contains: "Life in the Egyptian Deserts," by Gen. R. E. Colston, and "Moose and Cariboo Hunting," an address by Lord Dunraven. Both very interesting articles. Gen. Colston gives notes of his six years' experiences in the service of the Khedive on the General Staff of the Egyptian Army, with many interesting particulars regarding the camel and other animals of the desert. Sportsmen will relish Lord Dunraven's moose hunting.

CATALOGUE OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS OF THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Frederick Prime, Jun.. Assistant Geologist of Pennsylvania, has done scientists some service in compiling a Catalogue of Official Reports upon the Geological Surveys of the United States and Territories of British North America, which he has published in the seventh volume of the Transactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. The first Catalogue of this description was prepared by Prof. O. C. Marsh for the American Journal of Science and Arts in 1867, but since that time the list has more than doubled, and one was wanted more suited to the needs of the present time, and this want Mr. Prime has supplied.

HARRINGTON'S GRADED SPELLING BOOK.-It has been said that there is no royal road to learning; but Harrington's Graded Spelling Book, in two parts, published by Messrs. Harper Bros., New York, in the great republic, is the nearest approach to it we have seen. As the author says in his preface, "it is grounded on the laws which govern the growth of a child's intelligence and his acquisition of an available vocabulary."

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS.-The report of General G. W. Wright, the Chief of U.S. Engineers, has been printed for 1879; it forms three bulky volumes,

attention to the fact that the funds voted by Congress are not sufficient to keep the coast defences of such a large country as the United States in the condition they ought to be, and he appeals to the Legislature to increase their vote for such a patriotic purpose.

THE DOMINION ANNUAL REGISTER, 1879. Volume 2.The Montreal Gazette of January 17, 1881, says: "Hardly a day passes, indeed, in which we, as journalists, do not refer for information to some of Mr. Morgan's various stores of information, and rarely do we refer to them in vain. His latest enterprise, the Dominion Annual Register,' the last issue of which we had the pleasure not long since of reviewing in these columns, will prove of exceeding value to the future historian. It is a repertory of all that is really important in the history of the year, and is the only source to which we can go, with the confidence that we shall not be disappointed, for political or general information. As an instance of its fullness and accuracy, we may take a question which is now occupying the popular mind all over the country-the Pacific Railway. This is a subject on which every one needs to be thoroughly informed. Yet comparatively few are those who can bear in mind all the dates and circumstances connected with it, and to seek them in the files of a journal would be a labour of no slight difficulty. In the 'Register' for 1879 we have the whole history of the enterprise from its inception ready to our hands. without loss of time in wearying search. We have selected this subject simply because it is now s0 prominently before the public. It is the same with any other event or movement of sufficient importance to be historical. We find it recorded in the 'Register,' with the

causes that led to it and its immediate consequences. What a boon it would be if such a work had been started at the union of the Canadas, or even at the beginning of Confederation! Yet this is only one of the results of Mr. Morgan's thoughtfulness, ability, and energy. His 'Celebrated Canadians,' his Bibliotheca,' his Legal Dictionary,' his Parlia mentary Companion,' are also contributions to history of superior interest and value. The two former have won deserved praise on both sides of the Atlantic, especially in the great English reviews, and we bespeak for the new edition of them which is now in preparation a reception even more favourable in proportion to Canada's greater and growing importance.'

FLORIDA. "Semi-tropical Florida, its Climate, Soil, and Productions, with a Sketch of its History, Natural Features and Social Condition," is an exhaustive pamphlet on the resources of Florida and the inducements the State offers to immigrants seeking new homes and profitable investments. It treats of the history, climate, laws, finance, soil, cost of building and clearing, productions, an account of each county and its capabilities, together with a map of the State. The pamphlet is printed by Rand & McNally, of Chicago.

VICTORIAN MINES. From the Reports of the Mining Surveyors and Registrars for the Colony of Victoria for the quarter ended September 30, 1880, we learn that the total quantity of gold obtained from alluvium and quartz amounted to 222.014 oz. 16 dwt. The quantity of gold, the produce of the Colony, exported was 58,080 oz. 19 dwt. The gross weight of rough gold received at the Royal (Victoria) Mint was 8,242 18 oz. and the gross weight of bullion issued 124,384 520%.

TENNANT.-We regret to announce the death, on Wednesday, February 23rd, at his residence in the Strand, London, of Professor James Tennant, F.G.S. He was born in 1808, and had held the Professorship of Geology at King's College, London, for some years, and was the author of a "Treatise on Geology, Mineralogy and Crystallography" (jointly with Professors Ansted and Mitchell), of Art Gems and Precious Stones," of "A Description of the Imperial State Crown preserved in the Jewel-house at the Tower of London,"

The present work is the result of twelve years' residence out on the plains, in an official capacity, and contains very valuable statistics and information derived from personal investigation.

The author-entries in a library of say 60,000 volumes, number about 30,000. 2. Of titleentries, carrying cross-references to the author's name there are about 12,000, of which 1794 are titles of plays, analyzed from collective works. 3. Of distinct subject and class-headings there are about 400, irrespective of geographical names and names of persons. 4. The principal subject-entries (not analytical) number about 26,000. 5. The catalogue is very largely analytical and synoptical. The subject-entries, by analysis of collective works and collections of essays, amount to somewhat more than 13,000, and of articles in the periodical literature of the last twenty-five years, to 11,400, or a total of about 25,000 analytical subject-references, bibliographically exact, in addition to the 26,000 principal subject-entries.
