Two vols., 8vo, $4. "The publication of Bismarck's after-dinner talk, whether discreet or not, will be of priceless biographical value, and Englishmen, at least, will not be disposed to quarrel with Dr. Busch for giving a picture as true to life as Boswell's Johnson' of the foremost practical genius that Germany has produced since Frederick the Great."-London Times. "Nobody can understand the political history of the Franco-German war, nor the man Bismarck, its chief maker, who has not read the diary of the Reichskanzler's Boswell. The English version is far more readable than the German."-London Athenæum. II. Gleanings of Past Years, 1843-78. By the Right Hon. WM. E. GLADSTONE. Six vols., 16mo, price per vol., $I. What Mr. Gladstone has written in the last thirty-six years-the period covered by this collection-has probably had the attention of as large an English speaking public as any writer on political and social topics ever reached in his own lifetime. The papers which he has chosen as of lasting value, and included here under the title of "Gleanings of Past Years," will form the standard edition of his miscellanies, both for his present multitude of readers and for those who will study his writings later.

The first volume includes his paper, "Kin beyond Sea,' and the second is exceedingly interesting for the literary miscellanies it contains. ROBERTS BROTHERS publish to-day Hamerton's "Life of Turner," in a 12mo uniform with their editions of Hamerton's other works. It will be of special interest to all artists, and to all who share in any degree the great enthusiasm Mr. Ruskin has so eloquently expressed for Turner's genius and achievements; also to the large number who read with peculiar satisfaction whatever Mr. Hamerton writes. With this book will appear "The Gamekeeper at Home," an English book describing wild animals in the south of England; and in its descriptions, both of animals and scenes, it is said to be not unworthy of comparison with White's "Selborne." DODD, MEAD & Co. promise for immediate issue a quantity of new books and new editions -not to speak of two or three whole libraries or good-sized slices thereof. Mrs. Charles' new volume, in which she makes "Joan the Maid" of Orleans the central figure of one of her wholesome and entertaining religious stories, is sure of a welcome. A pleasant book for old young and young old people is the great Niebuhr's Greek Hero Stories," as illustrated by Hoppin. New editions of Cruden and of Prof. Dana's work on Corals are safe books for booksellers' shelves. We are glad to note 37 PARK ROW, N. Y. finally, that the great success of their really "Economical" Sunday-school libraries has led to the issue of a third, of forty well-bound and good-sized volumes, and that new volumes are in preparation for the wonderfully cheap HearthStone Library.
