run round the stalls collecting two-penny treasures." Mr. Lang deplores the present fad for large-paper copies of books the small copies of which are comelier and more convenient, though he confesses that his own modest gains have been increased by this fashion. He also condemns the present practice of exaggerating the value of first editions of contemporaries, which in some instances are held at four times the price of first editions of Sir Walter Scott; and "an author is vexed when his first edition is 'quoted' at twenty times its original value, while his second edition languishes in obscurity." No one has gossipped more learnedly and entertainingly on subjects of interest to the bookhunter than Mr. Andrew Lang, and among all the books on bibliography to be recommended to the amateur, next after Dr. Burton's Book Hunter" may be placed "The Library." The "youth's dear book" of Dante. It was during the period of his own "ew life," nearly forty years ago, that Professor Charles Eliot Norton published the translation of the "Vita Nuova" of Dante that is now reprinted (Houghton) uniform with his recently-made prose translation of the Sacred Poem of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. The reprint includes the rather extensive apparatus of essays and notes that made a part of the original edition, and in this respect it is in contrast with the translator's "Divine Comedy," which includes notes upon but a few important points. This is the first edition, as far as we know, of the "New Life" in an English volume of moderate proportions. Mr. Norton's work has heretofore existed only in a bulky octavo, while Rossetti's translation was published as a part of the large volume entitled "Dante and His Circle." Of these two translations, although Mr. Norton's may claim greater literalness, Rossetti's must be regarded as the better. Rossetti's birth and genius fitted him, as probably no other man was ever fitted, to become the interpreter of Dante to the English world, and his work is one of the few supreme masterpieces of English translation. This statement, of course, does not deny to Mr. Norton the possession of knowledge and delicate sympathy; it simply asserts the evident fact that he is not a writer of genius. But lovers of Dante, and of his "youth's dear book "— the most beautiful book in the world, we sometimes think will want to have both translations. achievement. Mr. Pike has given us a thoroughly fascinating account of exploration in fresh fields, novel sport, and perilous adventure; and the work gains a distinct literary value from the simplicity and adequacy of its style. It is accompanied by two maps; and Doctor G. M. Dawson, of the Canadian Geological Survey, in an appendix well calculated to stir adventurous spirits, discusses "Some of the Larger Unexplored Regions of Canada." BRIEFER MENTION. AN edition of Hugo's "Quatrevingt-treize " has been added to the "International Modern Language Series (Ginn). It is an adaptation, not an exact reprint, and as such we cannot give it our approval, although M. Boïelle, the editor, claims that Hugo himself sanctioned the work. It reduces the romance to rather less than half its full size, making cuts now of full chapters, now of single passages or sentences. There are English notes on what is left of the text. M. Alphonse N. Van Daell edits for the same series "La Cigale Chez les Fourmis," the amusing comedy by Labiche and Legouvé. VOLUME 32 of the " Dictionary of National Biography" (Macmillan), now edited by Mr. Sidney Lee, extends from Lambe to Leigh. The most notable literary article in this volume is the "Landor," by Mr. Leslie Stephen. The same publishers send us Volume 8 of the 66 Cambridge Shakespeare," edited by Mr. William Aldis Wright. It includes "King Lear," "Othello," "Antony and Cleopatra," and "Cymbeline." DR. ABRAM HERBERT LEWIS has collected, under the title of "Paganism Surviving in Christianity" (Putnam), an interesting array of facts relating to the antiChristian elements that have mingled with the stream of historic Christianity. He says: "At the point where the average student takes up the history of Western Christianity, it was already fundamentally corrupted by pagan theories and practices. Its unfolding, from that time to the present, must be studied in the light of this fact." The influence of pagan thought upon the Bible itself, and of pagan forms of worship upon the Church, as well as the later incorporation of Church with State, "according to the pagan model," are the subjects which the author has chiefly aimed to illustrate. His material is roughly classified, but hardly digested, and consists largely of extracts from a wide range of authorities. "DOMBEY and Son " (Macmillan), has been added to the attractive dollar edition of the best novels of Charles Dickens, and Mr. William Black's Green Pastures and Picadilly" (Harper) may now be had in the popular edition of that novelist's works. A new edition of a more recent novel is the "Fate of Fenella" (Cassell), that curious piece of composite fiction, which now appears in cloth covers and provided with illustrations. A LITTLE book called “Children's Rights" (Houghton), by Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin, is named after its opening and best chapter. The remaining nine chapters deal almost entirely with kindergarten ideas and methods, and mothers and kindergarten workers are the persons who will most enjoy reading them. Some of these papers have been previously published in magazines, but most of them are new; three of them are contributed by Mrs. Wiggin's sister, Miss Nora Smith. Or the following recent novels, space admits only of mention: Half Brothers" (Cassell), by Miss Hesba Stretton; "Virginia Dare" (Whittaker), by E. A. B. S.; "By Subtle Fragrance Held " (Lippincott), by Miss Mary Fletcher Stevens; "Reuben Foreman, the Village Blacksmith" (Bonner), by Mr. Darley Dale; "Poseidon's Paradise" (Clemens Publishing Co.), a tale of the fabled Atlantis, by Miss Elizabeth G. Birkmaier; "The Berkeleys and Their Neighbors" (Appleton), by Miss Molly Elliot Seawell; " Mrs. Harry St. John " (Morrill, Higgins & Co.), "a realistic novel of Boston fashionable life," by Mr. Robert Appleton; and "An Exquisite Fool" (Harper), published anonymously. THE "Oxford Shakespeare" (Nelson), published in two forms, is a marvel of compactness. By the use of the "Oxford India paper," thin, strong, and opaque, a single volume of ordinary duodecimo dimensions is made to include the whole of Shakespeare's works, and the typography, although agate, is clear and legible. The volume is one inch in thickness, and contains 1,264 pages. The "miniature" edition is in six volumes, with the same paper and typography, and is easily the most attractive of the several "handy-volume" Shakespeares in existence. Mr. W. J. Craig, of Trinity College, Dublin, is the editor of the text published in these exquisite editions. WOULD-BE poets are as numerous this year as ever. The "Night Etchings" (Lippincott) of A. R. G. have all the gloom characteristic of verse by youthful writers, and no discernible significance else. "The End of Time" (Putnam), by Dr. L. G. Barbour, is called “a poem of the future." We leave it for the future to read, if the future cares to amuse itself in so doleful a way. Mrs. Sara Louise Oberholzer's collection is called "Souvenirs of Occasions" (Lippincott), and sings of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and other themes. Mr. Samuel Jefferson's " Columbus" (Griggs) is an epic poem in twelve cantos of rhymed couplets. Mr. Jefferson may be remembered as author also of "The Epic of the Invincible Armada," which we trust was sung at less length. Professor Bushrod W. James's "Alaskana (Porter & Coates) deals with Alaskan scenery and ethnology in "Hiawatha" metre. It embodies much useful information. WHAT is the matter with the prayer-meeting?" is the question discussed at length by Mr. E. J. Morris in his "Prayer-Meeting Theology" (Putnam). The work takes the form of a "dialogue" between three brethren "who have not missed a prayer-meeting in twenty years." The general conclusion is that there is too much theology in the services. In Dr. Theodore F. Wright's "The Human and its Relation to the Divine" (Lippincott), theology and philosophy are represented in about equal parts, the latter being brought to the aid of the former. "My Septuagint" (Cassell), by Mr. Charles Force Deems, is a volume of brief sketches, varied with an occasional poem, mostly upon religious subjects. It has the outlook of a man of seventy, and is dedicated to LXX. of the writer's deceased friends. BEING twenty-one years since Marion Harland's "Common-Sense in the Household" (Scribner) was first published, the reprint of it is called the "majority edition." It speaks well for a cook-book that in an age of such marked progress in the world of housewifery, very few changes have been needful to keep its rank as one of the most trustworthy and valuable of the housekeeper's reference books. "The Little Dinner " (Scribner), by Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick, is a cook-book with a special field, which it covers both instructively and entertainingly. "The Universal Common-Sense Cookery Book" (C. E. Brown & Co.), to which Marian Harland and many others contribute, is distinguished from its fellows by a series of quotations interspersed among the recipes. When reading how to boil eggs, one is startled by a passage from Emerson, and the directions about asparagus are given point by a quotation from Charles Lamb. We also note a new edition of "The Original Appledore Cook-Book" (C. E. Brown & Co.), by Miss Maria Parloa, well known as a highpriestess of the art culinary. Still another of these household manuals is Mrs. Bayard Taylor's " Letters to a Young Housekeeper" (Scribner), which gives directions and recipes in bewildering variety. The autograph of "Poems by Two Brothers" will be sold at auction at Sotheby's this month. The receipt of £20 for the copyright, signed by Alfred and Charles Tennyson, will go with the manuscript. The "Crestomazia Provenzale," by Professor V. Crescini of Padua, contains about 7,000 lines of Provençal text from nearly fifty authors, and is to be followed by a grammar and glossary in a separate volume. The Cupples Company announce "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: His Wit, Wisdom, Poetry," edited by Mr. Newell Dunbar, and a volume of paragraphs selected from the writings of Bishop Brooks of Massachusetts. Mr. Clifford Lanier, a brother of the late Sidney Lanier, has written a story of adventure in Florida in the seventeenth century. It is entitled "Love and Loyalty at War," and will be printed in “Goodform" as a serial. Mr. Thomas B. Mosher, of Portland, will publish a limited edition of "The City of Dreadful Night" and certain other poems by the late James Thomson. Mrs. Elizabeth Cavazza will supply this edition with an introduction. The Brooklyn Institute will commemorate, on the evening of December 17, the eighty-fifth anniversary of Whittier's birthday. There will be an address by Mr. W. L. Garrison, and a poem by the Rev. John W. Chadwick. The "Independent" calls attention to the fact that a poem on the subject of St. Telemachus was written in 1886 by Dr. Charlton C. Lewis, and published in the Yale Literary Magazine." Both Dr. Lewis and Lord 66 Tennyson based their poems upon the same passage from Theodoret. The most notable thing in the book world this month, according to "The Bookman," has been the immense demand for Lord Tennyson's poems. It was so great at one time that the printers had twenty-six machines working upon them. The series of Chicago articles in "The New England Magazine" is resumed with the December number, Mr. George P. Upton, than whom no one is better qualified to discuss the subject, writing of "Music in Chicago." "Literary Chicago," by Mr. William Morton Payne, is announced for early publication in this series. Francis P. Harper will publish early next year a new and limited edition of the "Travels" of Lewis and Clarke, edited by Dr. Elliott Coues. The work will fill four volumes, with notes, based upon the field note books of the expedition and other unpublished sources of information. The Overseers of Harvard University have promoted Prof. Josiah Royce to a full professorship in philosophy, which may perhaps be taken as their response to the passionate appeal for redress made to them a year ago by the author of a certain philosophical work which Professor Royce had reviewed and severely criticised. We are told that the Samoan newspaper, which is a German organ and inspired, is clamorous for the arrest of Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson as "a person who meddles with everything." Mr. Stevenson, besides his recent book on Samoa, has been raking over the German administration in the columns of the London "Times." Hence these tears! "Liber Scriptorum," the first book of the New York Authors' Club, is now in press. It is made up of contributions by members of the club, and each paper or poem in each of the 251 copies to be printed will have the autograph of its author. Subscriptions at one hundred dollars a copy will be received by Mr. Rossiter Johnson, the secretary of the Club. 66 Ginn & Company, of Boston, announce a Department of Special Publication," for the production of "valuable works of a special character and a high grade." The authors are to insure the publishers against loss, which means, of course, in substance if not in form, that authors are to pay the expenses of publication, and get back what they can from the sale of their books. Something more like a novelty is the intimation that, by securing from a number of professors their guarantee of use for a term of years, the author of a text-book may provide for its publication with some assurance of a sale sufficient to meet expenses. Small colleges having monographs to publish may find this department of some use. LIST OF NEW BOOKS.

Uniform with the sets of the writings of "Hamilton" and "Franklin." To be complete in Ten Volumes. Volume I. nearly ready. 8vo, half leather, gilt tops; per volume, $5.00. Limited Edition, 750 copies, printed from type. Of the writings of the American statesmen of the Revolutionary and Constitutional periods, none possess greater interest than those which were the work of Thomas Jefferson. The individuality of the man, the important part borne by him in the events of his time, and still more the political principles originated or supported by him, give to the productions of his pen a value for the statesman, the lawyer, and the historian. The companion sets of the Writings of Hamilton and Franklin have for some time been out of print. Of the limited editions of Washington, fourteen volumes, and of Jay, four volumes, a few sets still remain. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS, NEW YORK. Subscriptions received by A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago.
