S. a. PRINTED AT THE RIVERSIDE PRESS, By H. O. Houghton and Company. AVANT-PROPOS. L'ExposiTiON des ^diteurs ara^ricains peut etre consid^r^e, surtout, comme un sentiment de gratitude de ceux-ci envers leurs collogues de France pour la part importaiite qu'ils avaient prise k I'Exposition Internationale de Philadelphie. En efEet, la determination tardive qu'ont pris le congr^s et le s^nat americain en acceptant officiellement I'offre cordiale de la France, ne laissait gufere le temps aux Am^ricaius de se preparer k lutter dans ce grand tournoi interna- tional ; en y ajoutant le peu d'intervalle qui s^parait deux expositions universelles, le mauvais ^tat des affaires aux Etats-Unis, les craintes qu'inspirait la situation politique de I'Europe, il n 'en fallait pas davantage pour faire reculer les meilleures volont^s ; fort heureusement que la sympathie qui attirait les Am^ricains vers Paris et le souvenir de la participation frangaise au "Centennial" ont triomph^ de bien des hesitations premieres. La participaiiou am^ricaine comprend vingt-neuf exposants ; le catalogue dent la division aidera, sans aucun doute, h donner de justes apergus sur I'industrie du livre en Am^rique a ete imprime par "The Riverside Press," k Cambridge (Massachusetts), cet important dtablisse- ment si renomm^ aux Etats-Unis pour le som et le gout artistique avec lequel toutes ses pub- lications sont edit^es. Les trois prefaces qui forment les aperjus du " book, trade " dans toutes ses ramifications sont dues k Mr. R. R. Bowker, du " Publishers' Weekly." Nous devons ajouter que I'organe des ^diteurs am^ricains, "The Publishers' Weekly," avail dfes le principe accueilli avec faveur le projet de I'Exposition Universelle de Paris; aussi est-ce grace k I'attention constante que ce journal avait demand^ aux dditeurs que ceux-ci ont compris tout I'int^ret attach^ k leur presence k Paris. Un autre organe, "The American Bookseller," s'est ^galement joint au mouvement en faveur de I'Exposition. En se placant surtout au point de vue du progrfes qu'a fait la librairie am^ricaiiie depuis sps cinquante ans d'existence, leurs ^diteurs ont la confiance de voir leurs ceuvres appr^ci^es et esp&rent en renconfrer k Paris un legitime succ^s. BOOKS AND THE BOOK TRADE IN AMERICA. Within the memory of the present generation, American authors have made a place for their country in the world's literature, and the development of the American book-trade has been for the most part within half a century. The oldest house in the trade is that of Sower, Potts & Co., whose founder, Christopher Saur, Sr., made almanacs and German Bibles near Philadelphia, in 1740. la 1820 it was estimated (by S. G. Goodrich) that the book production of the United States amounted to only $2,500,000, of which not more than 30 per cent, were original American books ; for 1830, $3,000,000, 40 per cent. American; for 1840, $5,500,000, or 12,000,000 volumes, 55 per cent. American; for 1850, $12,500,000, 70 per cent. American; for 1856, $16,000,000, 80 per cent. American. In the absence of internal taxa- tion or other authoritative statistics, these estimates are of little value ; but it is certain that the proportion of books of American origin has steadily increased. Appleton's Cyclopaedia estimates the book pro- duction of 1871 as at least $40,000,000, and this is approximately cor- rect. Of American books, 4,476 were copyrighted in 1877. Classification. — The American book-trade is divided into three classes, — publishers, " jobbers," and retailers. The book-trade proper numbers probably not more than 3,000 stores, but there are, perhaps, 10,000 which sell books and periodicals in connection with other lines of trade. Of these, 800 are publishers, to the extent of an occasional book, though nine tenths of the trade is done by less than 50 publishers. Besides the publishers selling through the regular trade, there is a large class of " subscription publishers " who sell their books exclusively through " agents,'' to whom a particular district is assigned, and who go from house to house offering the book. The educational publishers are a class by themselves, although most of the largest general houses, as the Harpers, Appleton, and Scribner, have extensive educational departments in addition to their regular busi- ness. Other specialties, as medical and law publishing, are also chiefly carried on by special houses. The "jobber" is the middleman, who orders large supplies, often by the thousand copies, from the publishers, and distributes them among the retailers throughout the country. He differs from the European commissioner in buying the stock and making what profit he can, in- stead of filling orders on commission. Many houses, as those of Appleton and Lippincott, are at once pub- OUVRAGES, EDITEURS, ET LIBRAIRES AUX ifTATS-UNIS. Dans les limites de la gdndration actuelle, les auteurs am^ricains ont cr66 une place distingude pour leur pays dans le monde de la lit- t^rature et des sciences, et le ddveloppement important qu'a acquis I'industrie du livre en Amdrique s'est opdr^, pour ainsi dire, dans le cours d'un demi sifecle. La plus vieille maison connue est celle de Sower, Potts & Co., dont le fondateur, Christopher Saur, dtabli k Germantown, pr^s de Philadelphie, en 1740, dditait des almanachs, et des Bibles publides en langue allemande. En 1820, la production totale des livres publics aux Etats-Unis, suivant restimation de S. G. Goodrich, s'dlevait k $2,500,000, des- quels 30 pour cent reprdsentait les ouvrages originaux am^ricains ; en 1830, revaluation dtait de $3,000,000, dont 40% amdricains ; en 1840, $5,500,000, repr^sentant 12,000,000 de volumes, dont 55% am^ricains ; en 1850, $12,500,000, dont 70% am^ricains ; en 1856, $16,000,000, dont 80% am^ricains. En I'absence de statistique administrative, ces estimations sont de peu de valeur, il est vrai, mais il est certain que la production de livres d'origine am^ricaine a progress^ rapidement ; I'Encyclop^die d'AppIeton estime qu'en 187 1 il a 6t6 public pour $40,- 000,000 de livres aux Etats-Unis. Le nombre des ouvrages ara^ricains " copyrighted " en 1877 se montait k 4476. Classification. On divise les ^diteurs et libraires aux Etats- Unis en trois classes: Editeurs, "Jobbers,"' et Ddtaillants. La li- brairie, propreraent dite, comprend environ 3,000 libraires, mais on pent estimer k 10,000 le nombre de n^gociants qui adjoignent k d'autres sp^cialit^s, la vente des livres, " magazines," et pdriodiques ; des 3,000 libraires, huit cents sont consid^rds comme Editeurs, quoique certains d'entre eux ne publient des ouvrages que de temps en temps ; k vrai dire, les neuf-dixifemes de ce qui se publie en Amdrique se trouve partagds dans un nombre total de cinquante Editeurs. En de- hors de ceux vendant leurs publications par I'entremise reguliere des libraires, on compte dgalement un grand nombre d'dditeurs d'ouvrages par souscription, qui vendent leurs publications exclusivement par colporteurs (canvassers), qui ont le monopole d'une region designee, et qui vont de maison en maison solliciter des ordres. Les litjrairies classiques forment k leur tour des maisons spdciales ; cependant de grands Editeurs tels que les Harper, les Appleton, les Scribner ont consacrd dans leurs affaires rdguli^res une trfes-large place aux livres d'dducation. Les ouvrages de droit et de mddecine sont publids par des dditeurs spdciaux. Le " jobber " est le ndgociant qui commissionne k I'dditeur de grandes quantitds d'un ouvrage, — parfois 1,000 ex. k la fois, — puis les revend chez les ddtaillants dissdminds dans toutes les parties du pays. Le " jobber " difffere du commissionnaire europden en ce sens qu'il emmagasine un grand stock, en tachant d'en tirer le plus grand profit dans ses ventes, tandis que le commissionnaire lui, ne remplit ses ordres qu'au fur et k mesure que lui parviennent des commissinns. Beaucoup de maisons, comme celles d'AppIeton, de Lippincott, sont k fois Editeurs, "jobbers," et ddtaillants ; d'autres, telles que Scribner, etc., etc., dditent et tiennent un magasin de detail ; quelques unes sont "jobbers " et ddtaillants tout k la fois ; tandis que certaines comme Harper et Houghton, Osgood & Co. se restreignent dans la publication et la vente de leurs propres ouvrages. Ventes a l'Encan. Un des faits les plus particuliers du syst^me lishers, jobbers, and general retailers ; others, as the Scribner house, publish and keep a retail store ; many are jobbers and retailers to- gether ; while the Harpers and Houghton, Osgood & Co. confine them- selves to publishing and selhng their own books. Trade Sales. — A pecuhar feature of the American system is the " trade sale," an auction held in New York each spring and fall, to which the pubhshers send quantities of their new publications, and of their standard books. These are sold to the highest bidder among the members of the jobbing and retail trade who come together at these times. Prices and Discounts. — The prices are usually made on Amer- ican books to cover from twenty-five to forty per cent, discount to the trade, the jobbers receiving usually five per cent, more discount than the retailers ; on juvenile books the discount is sometimes as high as fifty per cent. These high discounts have led to much " under cut- ting ; " and the "dollar stores" in particular — stores in which every article is offered at the uniform price of one dollar — interfere much with the retail trade, by offering at that price books published nomi- nally at $1.25 and $1.50. School-books were formerly published on the same system, but last year the publishers generally abandoned the retail price, and now make a " trade price," from which there is only a very small discount. Schools "introducing" books are given a net price about one fourth lower, and, if they " exchange " for them books of other publishers previously used have only to pay little more than one half the " trade price " in money. Manufacture. — A considerable number of American publishers, as Messrs. Harpers, Appleton, and Lippincott, print all of their own publications. Messrs. Houghton & Co., at their Riverside Press, Cambridge, print not only their own books, but those of many other publishers. The common forms for American books are the i2mo for novels, books of poetry, etc. : and the octavo for books of travel, treatises, etc. The first of these is priced usually at $1.50, the other at $2.50 in cloth. A form called the " Little Classic," a square 24mo, has lately become a favorite ; and a still smaller class of books, under the title of "Vest Pocket" size, is a yet newer fashion. Tinted paper is frequently employed in preference to white. The paper and press- work of American books average very well. Illustration. — In the illustration of American books wood en- graving is chiefly used. Cheap chromo-lithography is considerably in vogue for the cheaper books. A steam press for the printing of steel engravings has lately been invented, which promises to revive the almost forgotten use of steel plates for illustration. The heliotype process and other photo-lithographic and photo-engraving methods are also widely used. Binding. — Most American books are offered by their publishers in a uniform style of cloth binding, usually with elaborate gilt orna- aradricaiii est la vente k I'encan, tenue deux fpis par an k New York ; une vente a lieu au printemps, une autre k I'automne. Les ^diteurs envoient k ces " Trade Sales " une quantity de leurs nouveaux ou- vrages ainsi que de leurs livres de fonds ; la vente est faite au plus offrant et dernier enchdrisseur parmi la quantity de libraires accourus de tous les Etats de I'Union. Prix et Escompte. Les prix sont ftablis' en Amdrique de fagon k pouvoir allouer de 25 h.4ofo d'escompte aux libraires ; les "jobbers " resolvent g^ndralement 5% d'escompte en sus ; sur les livres d'enfants I'escompte atteint parfois 50%.- Ces remises, beaucoup trop ^lev^es, ont eu pour effet d'engager un grand nombre de ddbitants d'articles de fantaisie k tenir de la librairie ; c'est ainsi que les " Dollar Stores " — magasins oii I'onvend de tout au prixuniforme d'un dollar — offrent k leur clientMe des ouvrages au taux d'un dollar, tandis que leurs prix sont marquds $1.25 et $1.50 ; de Ik un tort sdrieux causd aux libraires. Les escomptes sur les livres classiques dtaient dtablis sur le meme systfeme qui r^git ceux de litt^rature ; mais depuis I'ann^e dernifere, les ^diteurs ont abandonne le prix de detail et ^tabli un " Trade Price," sur lequel il n'est alloud qu'un petit escompte. Les ^coles in- troduisant dans leurs Etudes des livres nouveaux jouissent d'un prix net Equivalent k 25% de remise sur le prix de gros, et si elles rem- placent ces nouveaux ouvrages contre ceux prEcEdemment en usage cliez elles, elles n'ont des lors k payer que I'dquivalent d'un peu plus que la moitid du " Trade Price." Manufacture. Un nombre considerable d'^diteurs am^ricains, tels que MM. Harper, Appleton, Lippincott, etc., etc., impriment eux- memes toutes leurs publications. MM. H. O. Houghton & Co., par leur im.portant Etablissement de Riverside Press, k Cambridge, impriment, non seulement leurs ouvrages, mais encore ceux de beaucoup d'^di- teurs. Les formats des livres am^ricains sont: rin-i2mo pour ro- mans, poesies, etc., et l'in-8vo pour les ouvrages scientifiques ; le pre- mier format est gdndralement cote $150, le second $2.50, I'un et I'autre relids toile. Un format appelE "The Little Classic," in-24mo carr^, est trfes-en vogue, et un plus petit format sous la designation du " Vest Pocket Size " est, en ce raomejit, encore plus k la mode. On emploie de preference le papier teintE au papier blanc ; le papier et les presses donnent une excellente mOyenne de fabrication du livre amdricain. Illustrations. La plupart des illustrations sont faites sur bois ; la chromo-lithographie, trfes-bon marchE, est considdrablement em- ployee jjour des ouvrages k bas prix. On vient de decouvrir un nou- veau procdde pour imprimer k la vapeur les gravures sur acier, ce qui promet de redonner un peu de faveur k celles-ci, qui avaient 4ti di- laiss^es depuis quelque temps. Les procddds par I'heliotype, la photo- lithographie et la photogravure, sont fort en usage aux Etats-Unis. Reliure. La plupart des ouvrages am^ricains sont mis en vente dans un style uniforme de cartonnage toile, ornementd de dorures spE- ciales k chaque volume ; parfois aussi la reliure est en demi-chagrin et plats en papier. A I'exception des romans populaires et des livres k bon marche, tous les volumes, en gdndral, sont cartonnds. Une r^cente invention amdricaine vient d'abr^ger considerablement le travail de la couture des brochures, livres, et catalogues ; c'est une petite machine mettant en mouvement du fil de laiton lequel condyles feuilles d'un livre, tandis qu'un ingdnieux mdcanisme vient en meme temps river les parties cousues. On arrive k relier de la sorte un nombre considerable de brochures et catalogues dans I'espace d'une heure. mentation designed for the volume, but sometimes in plain library- style. Few books, with the exception of popular novels and cheap books, are in paper covers. The use of wire instead of thread for sewing is a recent American invention. By an ingenious little ma- chine a bit of wire is driven through the sheets and clinched at one blow on the other side. Authors. — The usual relations with authors are a " copyright " payment of ten per cent, on the retail prices for all sales. The sub- scription puWishers, who usually force larger sales, give commonly only five j^er cent. In many cases a gross sum is paid " outright," especially where a book is made, as many are made, at the suggestion of the publishers. Copyright. — Copyright is granted for twenty-eight years, with renewal for fourteen. A copy of the title-page must be registered in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, before publica- tion, and two copies of the best edition must be sent to the Library of Congress within ten days after publication. The fee is one dollar, and there is no other expense. A few years ago there were copyright offices in each State ; the work is now all centered in Washington, and the Librarian's register, kept on cards, in drawers, arranged by authors, titles, and publishers, shows at a glance the production of the whole country. No writer not a citizen of the United States or in- tending citizenship can in any way obtain copyright, but most publish- ers pay an equivalent royalty to foreign authors with whom they have permanent relations, and " the courtesy of the trade " usually entitles a publisher to reprint without interference a work which he has an- nounced first, or works of an author whose previous books are pub- lished by him. The American trade, as well as the American public, is divided in sentiment as to international copyright. Tariff. — Books printed more than twenty years before, or im- ported for the use of the United States, or of public institutions, or of schools, or the property, within certain limits, of persons arriving in the United States, are now admitted free of duty. Books of a value not exceeding one dollar are also admitted duty free through the post. Other books and periodicals are taxed twenty-five per cent, ad val- orem. The duties on paper are from twenty to thirty-five per cent., and similar imposts are laid upon other materials of books. Book- binder's cloth is taxed thirty-five per cent., ten per cent, more than the bound book. Postage. — Books not weighing over four pounds are carried by post at one cent for two ounces ; this enables publishers to supply distant purchasers without extra charge. Books- valued at more than one dollar cannot come by foreign post. Periodicals may be sent from the office of publication in bulk, to subscribers and news agents, at two cents per pound for weekly and three cents for monthly publica- tions. AUTEURS. Les rapports d'intdret qui rdgissent habituellement les auteurs et les ^diteurs sont un droit de dix pour cent sur les prix de ddtail et sur toutes les ventes ; les ^diteurs d'ouvrages par souscrip- tions qui sont consid^rdes comrae faisant des ventes plus dlev^es de prix, n'allouent seulement que cinq pour cent. Lorsqu'un auteur dcrit un ouvrage sur la demande de ses dditeurs, ceux-ci lui allouent une somme en sus des conventions d'usage. Propriete LlTTERAlRE. La propri^td littdraire est reconnue pour un espace de vingt-huit ans, et se renouvelle ensuite pour quatorze ans ; pour s'assurer du " copyright " il faut d^poser k I'office du " Li- brarian of Congress," h Washington, une copie du titre de I'ouvrage k publier, et envoyer deux exemplaires de chaque Edition au meme ad- ministrateur dans les dix jours qui suivent leur mise en vente. Le droit d'enregistrement du " copyright " est fixd k un dollar ; il n'y n aucuns autres frais suppldmentaires k acquitter. II y a quelques an- n^es il y avait dans chaque Etat de I'Union un office de " copyright ; " mais actuellement tout cet important travail est centralist k Washing- ton. Les enregistrements du Biblioth^caire s'opferent au moyen de cartes rangdes par series de noms d'auteurs, litres, et dditeurs ; on pent ainsi, en jetant un coup d'ceil sur le nombre des cartes soigneusement cashes, juger de la production totale de tout le pays. Nul, s'il n'est citoyen des Etats-Unis ou ayant postuld pour le devenir, ne peut ob- tenir de " copyright." II est d'usage parmi les dditeurs am^ricains de payer une " royalty " aux auteurs Strangers avec lesquels ceux-ci ont des relations con- stanteg, et, par ^change de courtoisie, les dditeurs prennent sur eux d'imprimer les nouveaux ouvrages dont ils auront annoncd les pre- miers leur publication, ou bien encore, publieront les ouvrages d'un auteur dont les oeuvres pr^cddentes ont 6te ddit^es par eux. Les ^di- teurs amdricains aussi bien que le public de ce pays sont divisds en matifere d'appr^ciation sur la question de la propridtd htt^raire Interna- tionale. DouANE. Sont admis en franchise de douane : les ouvrages pu- blics h. vingt ans de date du jour d'exportation ou importds pour I'usage des administrations des Etats-Unis ou bien d'institutions re- connues d'utihtd publique, telles que biblioth&ques et ^coles, les livres reconnues de propri^t^ individuelle aux personnes arrivant aux Etats-Unis, et enfin les livres expddids par la poste dont la valeur ne doit pas excdder un dollar. En dehors de ces exceptions, tons les livres, journaux, revues, etc., etc., importds aux Etats-Unis ont k acquitter un droit de 25^ advalo- rein. Les droits sur le papier sont de 20 k 35%; des imp6ts ana- logues sont dtablis sur les matiferes premieres et materiel importd pour la fabrication du livre ; le matf^riel est parfois passible de droits d'en- tr^e plus ^levds que la matifere toute fabriqu^e ; c'est ainsi que la toile pour reliure est tax^e k 35^ soit dix pour cent de plus que ne paie le livre reli^. Poste. Les volumes ne pesant pas plus de quatre livres (i kg. 816 gr.) sont transportds k raison d'un cent par deux ounces (5 ctmes. par 57 gr.); ces conditions permettent aux dditeurs de fournir leurs clients r(^sidant au loin k des prix avantageux. Les journaux et p&iodiques peuvent etre envoy^s en ballot du sifege de leur administration respective, soit directement k leurs souscrip- teurs, soit k leurs agents ; le prix de transport est fix^ k deux cents par livre (10 ctmes. par 454 gr.) pour les journaux hebdomadaires, et trois cents pour les publications mensuelles. TRADE BIBLIOGRAPHY. Until recent years America has paid little attention to bibliog- raphy. Tlie most noteworthy attempts to supply the book-trade were the "Bibliotheca Americana" of Roorbach, a catalogue of American publications, including reprints, from 1820, continued in supplements by Kelly up to 1871, and, among periodicals, Childs' Publishers' Circular, established in 1852. Trade bibliography is now centered chiefly in the ofBce of the Publishers'' Weekly (F. Leypoldt), with which the CzV- cular -was incorporated, and from which office is published: (i.) The Publishers' Weekly, which contains each week an alphabetical list, with full titles, of American books issued during the week, and an "order list" with short titles, arranged by publishers, besides lists of announcements, literary and trade news, and careful editorial discus- sions of trade topics, which last are a prominent feature of trade jour- nahsm in America. The first issue of each month contains a "month- ly finding list," alphabetical, containing references to author, title, and subject, of books issued during the month. During the year it issues also an Educational number, with classified price list of all American school-books, a Summer number, with lists of, and extracts from, books for summer reading, and a Christmas number (all of which are supplied in editions to booksellers with their imprints), besides other special numbers. The Christmas number, besides illustrated advertisements, contains full descriptive notices of holiday books and juveniles, with representative illustrations, and carefully arranged price lists, and has been spoken of in the reviews as the finest pubhcation of its kind in any country. (2.) The Literary News, a monthly eight-page sheet, printed with the names of booksellers who buy editions of it for dis- tribution. (3.) The Monthly Book List, a cheap list of prominent books, distributed in the same way. (4.) The Trade List Annual (price $2.00), now in its fifth year, binding together into a uniform vol- ume the trade catalogues of all leading publishers, prefaced by a list of books published during the year and by other matter, — a publica- tion which suggested Whittaker's similar EngHsh annual. The Refer- ence Catalogue of Current Literature. (5.) The American Catalogue of all American books and reprints in print and for sale, which is now in preparation in two volumes, the first by authors and popular titles, and the second by subjects, for which the subscription price is $25. (6.) The Library Journal, spoken of in connection with the library system. The American Catalogue, Trade List Annual, and Publish- ers' Weekly, thus constitute a full trade bibliography, with general, an- LA BIBLIOGRAPHIE AUX ^TATS-UNIS. Ce n'est que depuis quelques anndes que les Etats-Unis se sont occupds de bibliographie. L'essai le plus notable en ce genre avait 6t6 la " Bibliotheca Americana " de Roorbach, un catalogue de publica- tions amdricaines coraprenant les rdimpressions depuis 1820, et con- tinue en supplements par Kelly jusqu'en 1871. On comptait aussi, parmi les journaux pdriodiques, celui de TAe Publishers' Circular, par Childs, fondd en 1852, et devant plus tard se confondre avec The Publishers' Weekly. Actuelleraent la bibliographie ne laisse plus rien k ddsirer en Amdrique, ou nous devons citer au premier rang The Publishers' Weekly (F. Leypoldt) pour la varidtd de ses publications, facilitant les rapports entre dditeurs et libraires. The Publishers' Weekly donne chaque semaine, par une liste alpha- bftique, les titres, formats, noras d'dditeurs, etc., etc., de tous les ou- vrages amdricains parus d'uiie semaine k I'autre. Un " Order List " ou liste d'ouvrages condenses par dditeurs se publie dgalement dans chaque no, de fagon \ simplifier le travail au libraire, pour envoyer son ordre \ qui de droit. Des series d'annonces, des nouvelles lit- tdraires ayant un intdret pour dditeurs et libraires, des nouvelles locales, etc., etc., contribuent k donner k I'ensemble du journal un ca- ractfere fort utile et fort apprdcie. Les questions k I'ordre du jour ayant traitds k I'industrie du livre font I'objet d'apprdciations trfes ap- profondies et sont k elles seules une des particularites du " Trade Journalism" en Amdrique. Afin de guider le plus possible les libraires, il parait dans le premier numdro de chaque xi\o\^vca^ ^'■monthly finding list'' 6i-3.Ti'S,\-A.o^€A^ se trouvent rdsumds dans un ordre alphabStique de noras d'auteurs et de sujets, les ouvrages parus d'un mois k I'autre ; puis quelques numdros spdciaux, tels que : Educational Number, spdcialement affect^ k la ren- trde des classes, donnant par ordre clair et precis la liste et les prix de tous les ouvrages scolaires amdricains ; Summer Number, relatant non seulement les titres des ouvrages de littdrature courante qui viennent de se publier, mais encore insurant quelques extraits de ces ouvrages; Christ?nas Number, ou numdro dMtrennes ; c'est certainement un des plus beaux specimens de ce genre qui se publient en Amdrique. Ce nu- mdro special donne des notices ddtailldes de tous les livres d'dtrennes, accompagndes de quelquesunes de leurs illustrations ; des tirages spd- ciaux portant le nom de libraires forment pour ceux-ci des catalogues fort utiles k leur clientele. The Publishers' Weekly fait encore paraitre quelques autres pub- lications fort intdressantes et qui sont d'un grand concours aux dditeurs et libraires ; nous en donnons ci-apres la liste et en citons le but: — The Literary News, imprimd sur huit pages, parait tous les mois ; spdcialement rddigd pour libraires dans un but de distribution k leur clientele. The Monthly Book List, donnant une nomenclature d'ouvrages le plus en vogue ; meme but que The Literary News. The Trade List Annual, le cinqui^rae annde d'existence.

Une introduction donne la liste des ouvrages publics durant I'annee, et traite encore d'autres matieres. Cette publication est certainement une des plus utiles qui se soient jamais faites, par le concours qu'elle apporte aux libraires dans la recherche d'un livre. C'est cette publication qui nual, monthly, and weekly lists. M. Em. Terquem is the Paris agent for all. The Anzerican Bookseller, published fortnightly by the American News Company, contests with The Publishers' Weekly the honor of representing the American trade. It also issues handsome Christmas and Educational numbers, and a monthly imprint sheet for booksellers, Our Book Circular, similar to the Literary News. Besides other features parallel with those of The Publisher^ Weekly, The Amer- ican Bookseller contains correspondence from leading book centers, lists of new music, a price list of leading periodicals furnished by the American News Company, and a valuable classified Index to current articles in the English and American magazines and other periodicals. Mr. Joseph Sabin is publishing, in parts and volumes, an elaborate " Bibliotheca Americana : A Dictionary of Books relating to America, from its Discovery to the Present Time," of which the ninth volume, now issued, reaches to La Croix. The American Bibliopolist, an occa- sional periodical issued by him, is devoted chiefly to antiquarian liter- ature, and notes and queries. Several publishers issue monthly or quarterly a bulletin giving their own new publications ; and G. P. Putnam's Sons publish a use- ful manual, " The Best Reading,'' edited by F. B. Perkins of the Bos- ton Public Library, which classifies the best American and foreign books under their proper subjects, with indications of their relative value ; and a quarterly periodical, as a supplement, called The Li- brary Companion, doing the same service for current books, with the addition of brief notes. The Literary World, Boston, a bright monthly paper, is very valuable for its descriptive reviews of current books, although literary rather than bibliographical.

En dehors de la similitude des renseignements utiles k la librairie que publient k la fois The American Bookseller et The Publishers' Weekly, cette premiere publication contient en outre, des correspondances des centres principaux, des bulletins de musique nouvellement publide, une liste des principaux journaux et revues mis en vente par 1' American News Co., et enfin un "index" ou r^sumd classifi^ des articles parus dans les "magazines." Mr. Joseph Sabin publie par fascicules et par volume un ouvrage travaill^ avec soin sous le titre de " Bibliotheca Americana : A Dic- tionary of Books relating to America, from its Discovery to the Present Time." Le neuvifeme volume, qui vient d'etre public, va jusqu'k Lacroix. The American Bibliopolist, que Mr. Sabin publie, de temps en temps, s'occupe de livres rares, de demandes et d'offres de vieux ouvrages. Plusieurs ^diteurs font paraitre mensuellement et trimestriellement quelques bulletins bibliographiques, mais ceux-ci n'ont qu'un int^ret relatif, car ils ne d^passent pas les publications des maisons qui les font paraitre. G. P. Putnam's Sons publient un manuel tres-utile intituM The Best Reading, qui est rddigd par F. B. Perkins de la "Boston Public Library." C'est un arrangement m^thodique par sujet des meilleurs ouvrages amdricains et Strangers, et indiquant pour chacun d'eux leur valeur relative.

XV THE LIBRARY SYSTEM. The progress of library organization in America within the past two years has made its library system of world-wide interest. The gov- ernment report on " PuMic Libraries in the United States of America : their History, Condition, and Management," prepared by the Bureau of Education, and printed at the Government Printing-office, Wash- ington, in 1876, — a large octavo of 1,187 pages (to which Mr. C. A. Cutter's " Rules for a Dictionary Catalogue " is a supplement), —is a cyclopedia of library information. This report gives the statistics of 3,649 public libraries, numbering over three hundred volumes each ; besides which there are many school and Sunday-school and large private libraries. The public libraries in question now contain about 13,000,000 volumes, exclusive of pamphlets. The Boston Public Library, founded in 1852, and supported by a city appropriation of $111,500 (1876-77) and by the income from vari- ous funds, given by citizens, amounting to $115,000, is the largest and most representative of American libraries. It includes a central ref- erence and central circulating library, distinct but in the same building, and has eight popular branches, besides agencies for the distribution of books. These united libraries contain over 350,000 volumes, of which over 250,000 are in the central building. The total circulation last year was 1,140,572 volumes, of which but 129 were lost. Every citizen of Boston is entitled to draw books, and the reading-room is open every day in the year except the five legal holidays. The catalogues and other publications of American libraries are of much bibliographical importance. The Boston Public Library no longer issues a printed general catalogue, but has its catalogue of specific col- lections, like the Prince, Ticknor, and Barton collections ; and its quarterly bulletin, with valuable bibliographical articles, its little " Hand- book for Readers," and its class lists and branch catalogues, furnished to residents at a nominal cost, are very widely used. The class-list of Historical Fiction is furnished with notes, giving resztmes of the rela- tions of historical fiction to actual history, arranged under authors as well as under countries. (See Scott and United States.) Harvard University Library has begun the issue of a bibliographical supplement to its Bulletins, of assistance in all colleges, as affording helps in courses of study. The general Dictionary Catalogue now issuing by the Boston Athenaeum Library is a chiracteristic example of the purely alphabetical catalogue, and shows the variety of types recom- mended by Mr. Cutter for various kinds of^entries. Mr. Noyes' Cata- ORGANISATION DES BIBLIOTHEQUES PUBLIQUES AUX £tats-unis. Les progr&s op^r^s dans I'organisation des biblioth&ques en Am^- rique, durant ces deux derni^res anndes, ont rendu le systfeme adoptd par les Am^ricains digne d'un int^rSt gdndral. Le rapport du gou- vernement sur les bibliothfeques publiques aux Etats-Unis d'Amdrique — leur creation, importance et gestion — pr^pard par les soins du Bu- reau of Education et imprirad au " Government Printing Office " de Washington (un vol. gr. in-8vo de 1187 pages) forme, avec I'ouvrage de Mr. Cutter, " Rules for a Dictionary Catalogue," consid^rd comme en formant I'appendice, une veritable encyclopddie contenant toutes les informations y relatives. Ce rapport donne les statistiques de 3,649 bibliothSques publiques ayant chacune au moins 300 volumes ; il n'dnum&re pas celles faisant partie des decks, ni celles des " Sunday- schools " pas plus que les grandes bibliothfeques privdes. La "Boston Public Library^'' fondde en 1852, subventionnde par la ville, qui, en 1876-77, lui a versd $111,500, trouvant encore des res- sources par le revenu des nombreux dons ($115,000) qui lui ont dtd faits par des habitants de Boston, est sans contredit la plus importante et celle qui reprdsente la mieux la vdritable bibliothdque publique ouverte k tous. Quoique ne formant qu'un seul et meme batiment, la bibliothfeque se divise cependant en deux parties bien distinctes, I'une qui est affectde aux ouvrages de rdfdrence, et I'autre k la salle de lec- ture ; ces deux parties rdunies contiennent au delk de 350,000 volumes, dont 250,000 en forment la rdfdrence. La " Boston Public Library " a huit succursales dans la ville et aux environs et en outre des agences chargdes de la distribution des livres. Chaque habitant de Boston pent emporter chez lui des livres de la bibliothdque ; la salle de lecture est ouverte toute I'annde de 9 h. du matin k 10 h. du soir, k la seule exception de quelques jours ddsignds comme fSte nationale. Sur le chiffre total de circulation de 1,140,572 volumes que la biblio- thdque avait ddlivrd I'annde dernifere, elle n'a eu k constater que la perte de 129 volumes ! Les catalogues et autres publications rddigds par les bibliothdcaires amdricains ont une trds-grande importance bibliographique. La " Boston Public Library," d y a peu de temps, a publid un catalogue gdndral, mais ses " index " sdpards tels que les Prince, les Ticknor, les Barton, ses bulletins trimestriels contenant des articles bibliogra- phiques de grande valeur, ses petits guides pour lecteurs {Handbook for Readers), ainsi que ses livres de classement et les catalogues de ses succursales, toutes ces publications fournies k un prix coutant, sont d'un usage fort rdpandu. La liste par classement de romans historiques se public annotde, donnant I'apergu des analogies qui ex- istent entre le foman historique compard k I'histoire ; cette liste est arrangde tant par auteurs que par pays, comme par exemple : Scott et £tats-Unis. La bibliothfeque A^ Harvard University vient d'ajouter k ses bulletins pdriodiques, un suppldment bibliographique qui sera d'un excellent concours k tous les colleges pour les aider dans le pro- gramme de leurs dtudes. Le dictionnaire gdndral des catalogues qu'a publid la Boston Athenaum Library est un exemple caractdristique du catalogue purement alphabdtique; il fournit une varietd de genres recommandds par Mr. Cutter, pour les diffdrentes maniferes de rd- pertorier les entrdes d'ouvrages. Le catalogue de Mr. Noyes de la logue of the Brooklyn Mercantile Library is noteworthy as introducing large class-lists, like Biography, into the alphabetical arrangement, and as including articles in periodicals as well as books. The catalogue of the New York Apprentices' Library exhibits Mr. Schwartz's " com- bined method" of arrangement. The catalogue of the St. Louis Pub- lic School Library presents the only prominent American example of the Baconian arrangement. The catalogue work of the Library of Congress covers an annual author catalogue, in which all books sent for copyright are of course included, and a general class catalogue. Most American libraries, however, depend chiefly upon a card cata- logue, alphabetically arranged in boxes or drawers, as introduced b)' Professor Jewett at the Boston Public Library. Mr. Dewey's " Deci- mal System " of classification, first used at Amherst College, presents a rapid method of designating minute classes by permanent numbers, that is widely adopted and found to be of great convenience. A com- prehensive index to scientific serials, in press at the Harvard Univer- sity Library, is another useful enterprise in library bibliography. The organization of the American Library Association dates from the Conference of Librarians in Philadelphia during the Centennial Exposition. Its success led to the International Conference in Lon- don last fall, and the consequent organization of a Library Association of the United Kingdom. Mr. Justin Winsor, librarian of Harvard University, is the president, and Mr. Melvil Dewey, 32 Hawley Street, Boston, the secretary. At the oflSce of the secretary a " Bibliothecal Museum" is kept, showing library appliances and supplies arranged for comparison by libraries and by kinds. Various committees of the Association are accomplishing important work in the directions of library development, uniform and cooperative cataloguing, and the furnishing at cheaper rates of library supplies — which are manufact- ured for the associated libraries under the direction of the Coopera- tion Committee. Various other enterprises are under consideration, as the preparation of handbooks for special departments of reading, and the continuation of Mr. Poole's comprehensive Index to Period- ical Literature, English and American, for nine years out of print. A system of uniform title-slips, issued for use as catalogue cards, is also proposed. Foreign librarians are cordially invited to join the As- sociation. The fee is limited to $2.00 per year. The Library Journal is the official representative of both the American and British Library Associations, and gives attention to library matters in all countries. It is pubHshed monthly at 37 Park Row, New York, and by Triibner & Co., London, at $5, or £\, per year, and subscriptions will be received also by M. Em. Terquem, Paris. Communications of interest, and subscriptions, are invited from continental librarians. Brooklyn Mercantile Library est aussi bien prdcieux pour ses arti- cles sur la bibliographie arranges dans un ordre alphabdtique ; il donne la nomenclature des articles publids par les pdriodiques et les ouvrages rdcents. Le catalogue de \-A.New York Apprentice' s Library ddmontre la mdthode combinde d'organisation de Mr. Schwartz. Le catalogue de la St. Louis Public School Library prdsente le seul ex- eraple remarquable du syst^me de Lord Bacon. Le catalogue de la Library of Congress comprend une liste annuelle par noms d'auteurs, dans laquelle se trouvent compris tous les ouvrages qui ont €^€ en- voy^s au bibliothdcaire et jouissant du " copyright " ; une liste par classement gdndral complete le catalogue. Presque toutes les bibliothfeques publiques ont leurs catalogues sur cartes qui, mdthodiquement arranges par ordre alphab^tique sont con- tenus dans des boites ou tiroirs, selon la m^thode du Professeur Jewett de la Boston Public Library. Le systfeme decimal qu'a introduit Mr. Dewey, et qui a €\.€ la premiere fois en usage \ " Amherst College," par sa mdthode rapide et simple permet de connaitre exactement les mesures les plus minutieuses. L'organisation de I'association des bibliothdcaires am^ricains date de la conference tenue par les bibliothdcaires \ Philadelphie durant I'Exposition Internationale de 1876. C'est son succfes qui a fourni I'idde et a donn^ lieu k la Conference Internationale tepue k Londres I'automne dernier; de cette dernifere reunion il en est rdsulte V Asso- ciation des Bibliothecaires du Royaunie Uni. Mr. Justin Winsor, biblioth^caire k Harvard University, est le president de Tassociation amdricaine, et Mr. Melvil Dewey, 32 Hawley Street, k Boston, en est le secretaire. Dans un but de comparaison et de renseignement mutuels, on a reuni au bureau du secretaire tous les appareils, systfemes, objets, et fournitures de toute sorte employes dans toutes les biblioth&ques des £tats-Unis. Les sous comitds de I'association accomplissent jour- nellement des travaux importants pour le bien des bibliothfeques, tant pour I'uniformite et la cooperation des catalogues que pour fournir k trfes-bas prix les objets qui leur sont d'utilite premiere ; ces fournitures sont fabriquees pour le compte des bibliothfeques associees sous la direction d'un comite cooperatif. Si le comite de I'association s'oc- cupe activement de tout ce dont peuvent beneficier mutuellement les bibliothecaires, ceux-ci s'occupent k leur tour de contribuer au bien general en publiant de nouveaux ouvrages ; c'est ainsi qu'il y a en preparation des guides pour composer une bibliothfeque d'ouvrages de lecture; puis, la reimpression de I'ouvrage important de Mr. Poole, " Index to Periodical Literature, English and American," cet ouvrage etait epuise depuls neuf ans. Un syst^rae uniforme de litres pour I'usage de cartes catalogues est egalement k I'etude. Les bibliothecaires etrangers sont cordialement invites k se joindre k I'association ; la cotisation annuelle est de $2.00 (fr. 10). The Library Journal est I'organe officiel des associations anglaise et americaine ; il s'occupe d'une manifere generale de tous les faits se passant dans tous les pays et qui, par leur nature utile, doivent etre portes k la connaissance des bibliothecaires. Le Journal parait tous les mois, et est publie au 37 Park Row, k New York, et par MM. Triibner & Co., k Londres. Le prix d'abonnement est de $5 ou £i; les abonnements sont egalement regus par M. Em. Terquem, de Paris, au prix de fr, 25, pour tous les pays faisant partie de 1' Union postale. The Library Journal accueille avec reconnaissance les communica- tions d'interet que leur adressent les bibliothecaires de tous pays. AMERICAN PUBLISHING HOUSES REPRESENTED AT THE Paris Exposition of 1878. D. APPLETON & CO. PUBLISHERS, 549 AND 551 Broadway, New York, AND 16 Little Britain, London. Founded in 183 1, by the late Mr. Daniel Appleton, father of the present members of the firm, and his son, Mr. Wm. H. Appleton, now senior partner, the then humble book-store presented little else than the indomitable spirit of enterprise of its founders, to foreshadow the proud eminence which it has attained among the publishing houses of the world. Nor does the name of D. Appleton & Co. — now univer- sally known — require a formal introduction ; and almost half a cen- tury of honorable energy and activity constitutes a commendation more unequivocal, enduring, and impressive than could readily be con- veyed by mere words. Marked success attended the earlier productions of this house, and around these were soon grouped a number of miscellaneous publica- tions generally esteemed. The books published by D. Appleton & Co. embrace every branch of human knowledge, and are classified in their catalogue under the heads of Standard and Miscellaneous Works, Novels and Tales, Medical Works, Scientific Works, Law Books, Poetical, Illustrated, Religious, and Juvenile Works. One of their chief titles to fame is the A7nerican Cyclopadia (16 vols. 8vo), a new and thoroughly revised edition (1876) of the New American Cyclopadia, which was terminated in 1863. The value of the new edition is materially enhanced by engravings on wood, inter- spersed throughout the work, wherever pictorial illustration could add to the lucidity of the text. Besides these engravings, which are not fewer than 4,000, the American Cyclopadia contains a large number of maps, charts, plans, etc. Appletons' Condensed American Cyclopcedia, complete in 4 vols., was published in 1877. The American Annual Cyclopadia, first published in 1861, chron- icles the important events of each year, embracing political, civil, mil- itary, and social affairs, public documents, biography, statistics, com- merce, finance, literature, science, agriculture, and mechanical indus- try. Noticeable among their publications on military subjects are : Narrative of Military Operations, by General Johnston ; Memoirs (autobiographical) of General Sherman; Four Years with General Lee, and lives and memoirs of other military celebrities, to which will shortly be added an autobiography of Jefferson Davis. In their list of medical and surgical works figure the names of Flint, Van Buren, Sayre, Hamilton, Hammond, Peaslee, Howe, etc. Picturesque America, edited by Wm. Cullen Bryant, and embellished with 850 wood and 48 steel engravings, by artists of uncontested rep- 2 WORKS EXHIBITED. AMERICAN ELOQUENCE (A Cyclopedia of). 2voIs.,8vo.

Small i2mo. Cloth, 75 cts. 3 utation, and at a cost of $140,000, is a work whose popularity testifies to its merit and to its worthiness of the high character of its publishers. These it was who first encouraged the inauguration (1872) of the International Scientific Series between France, Russia, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and the United States, by virtue of which treaty authors whose works are comprised in the series receive copyright from each country in which their books are reproduced. The periodical publications of this house also deserve mention. They are : Appleton's Journal, a monthly miscellany of popular liter- ature ; The Popular Science Monthly, first issued in 1872, for the dif- fusion of valuable scientific knowledge among the masses . five years of ever-increasing popularity demonstrate the eagerness of all classes of society to profit by the teachings of the savants of different na- tions who contribute to its pages ; the New York Medical Journal, also published monthly, and well known to the medical faculty in both hemispheres ; and the North American Review, in whose pages the important topics of the times have, during the course of the sixty-two years of its existence, been successively dealt with by recognized au- thorities of every opinion. On the list of its contributors may be found the names of George S. Hillard, Richard H. Dana, Jr., Charles Sumner, Ohver Wendell Holmes, Charles Francis Adams, Mrs. Frances Kemble Butler, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry W. Long- fellow, — a worthy continuation of a catalogue which begins with Irving, Bryant, Prescott, Ticknor, and Bancroft. The Messrs. Appleton have directed much of their attention to the vast field of elementary knowledge, and contributed in an eminent degree to the development of the grand public-school system of the United States, by the successive publication of a series of books which early took their place among those most extensively used throughout the Union. Aided by the efforts of skilled men, no less distinguished as the friends than as the teachers of youth, and famil- iar with the requirements of rudimentary instruction, their endeavor has been to publish only books at once practical in character and clear and methodical in plan. Not the least striking feature of their cata- logue is the long list of educational text-books in English and other modern languages, as also in Greek, Latin, and some of the Semitic tongues ; and all prepared in conformity with the most approved mod- ern systems of teaching. The Messrs. Appleton's factory, in Brooklyn, occupies an entire square, embracing an area of 60,900 square feet. It comprises three distinct divisions : the typographical department, with some forty steam presses ; the foundry for stereotyping and electrotyping ; and the bindery, and gives constant employment to 500 workers of both sexes. From these works issue the pubhcations so highly com- mended at the International Exhibition in Philadelphia, in 1876, "for their general excellence and elegance, and the superb display pre- sented in them of the educated taste of both printer and binder." 4 BARKER (FORDYCE.)

The Harper house was founded by two practical printers, James and John Harper, whose first book, an edition of Seneca's " Morals," was printed in 1819. They were young men, of little capital, but with their younger brothers, Joseph Wesley and Fletcher, they developed within twenty-five years the largest publishing establishment in Amer- ica. James had charge of the manufacturing, John of the accounts, Wesley of the literary relations, Fletcher of the periodicals. Their sons now constitute the firm ; several grandsons are also in the es- tabhshment. Only those bearing the Harper name can be members of the firm. As the younger men leave college, it is the practice of the house to require them to obtain practical experience in the type-set- ting and other departments before they take higher positions. The Harper buildings, on Franklin Square, form one of the features of New York City. On registering their names, visitors are given a pass, with a guide to the several departments, which admits them to all but the private offices. The two buildings are unconnected, ex- cept by a tower between them, in which is a circular stairway, with bridges to each floor in either building. There are no other stair- ways. The beams are all of rolled iron, with brick arches supporting the floors ; the front is also of iron. The edifice is noted as the first thoroughly fire-proof establishment built in America; it was planned by John Harper himself the very night of the great fire in 1853, which destroyed a million dollars of the firm's property. The buildings con- tain about sixty presses ; about five hundred hands are employed. Rooms for editors, artists, engravers are included. The private office of the firm, — a Flemish interior, with an illuminated frieze containing illustrations, by eminent American artists, of the progress of printing and publishing, and of the history of the city of New York, — is the finest publishing office in the country. One of the " Harper Story- books," by Jacob Abbott, is devoted to an illustrated description of " The Harper Establishment." The house has published since its foundation (up to January, 1878) 3,291 works, in over 4,000 volumes, of which about one half are orig- inal American works. Despite the absence of international copyright, the house pays large sums to foreign authors, as much as $10,000 having been paid on a single book, though this royalty gives no legal protection. Its paper octavo " Library of Select Novels," of English reprints, already numbers six hundred novels. The specialty of the WORKS EXHIBITED. ABBOTT'S (Jacob) Science for the Young. Illustrated.

Among their American authors are Motley, Draper, Hildreth, Du Chaillu, Cesnola, Stanley, Nordhoff, Capt. Hall, Lossing, Prof. Newcomb, Lawrence, Schaff, the Abbotts, Bancroft, Curtis, Barnes, Anthon, Stephens, Prime, Loomis, Squier, Comfort, Swinton, McCHn- tock. Hooker, etc., etc. Books of travel have been a leading feature. During 1877 they have issued several books of popular art, as Benjamin's " Contempo- rary Art in Europe," Nichols's "Art Education applied to Industry," Spofford's " Art Decoration apphed to Furniture," and Prime's " Pot- tery and Porcelain,'' which are good examples of American work in this field. Their catalogue, 325 pp. 8vo, comprising about three thou- sand volumes, may be obtained gratuitously at the Exposition, or on remitting one franc to Harper & Brothers for postage. School-books are an important part of the Harper production, cover- ing most of the usual lines of study. One series of readers and his- tories had so large a sale as to pay the author, Marcius Willson, more than two hundred thousand dollars copyright. The new " School Geography" is an excellent example of the character and cheapness of American school-books. It is a quarto (32 x 26 cm.) of 126 pages, with 32 pages of colored maps, printed in as many as six colors, and with a hundred engravings on wood, and is furnished at $1.25 per single copy. In order to facilitate the study of local geography, the United States is divided into groups. A separate edition of the School Geography is prepared for each group, containing in addition to the general work, the special geography of that group. This spe- cial geography includes a full-page county map of each State in the group, together with a description of the surface drainage, climate, soil, minerals, agriculture, manufactures, commerce, railroads, canals, political organization, chief cities, educational facilities, and history of the State, and is furnished without additional cost. The Harper periodicals include Harper's Monthly, a popular illus- trated magazine, containing often as many as a hundred engravings in one issue, with a circulation of about one hundred and twenty thou- sand, now in its fifty-seventh semi-annual volume ; Harpers' Weekly, an illustrated paper, which has been, during and since the civil war, a leading political journal, having a circulation of over one hundred thousand, now in its twenty-second yearly volume ; and Harper's Bazar, a. weekly fashion and family journal, illustrated, with i. circula- tion of about one hundred thousand, now in its eleventh yearly vol- ume. The subscription price is I4.00 per year each, and the total rep- resents more than one million of dollars. An Index to the first fifty volumes of the Monthly is among the publications of the house.

I", HOUGHTON, OSGOOD & CO. WINTHROP SQUARE, BOSTON. AsTOR Place, New York. The firm of Houghton, Osgood and Company, under that style, dates from January, 1878, but it follows the consolidation of houses widely known, long established, and representing the highest achievements in American literature and book-manufacture. The firm of James R. Osgood & Co., and its predecessors, Ticknor & Fields, has for two gen- erations been identified with the leading writers in American literature, especially those of the New England school, — Emerson, Longfellow, Hawthorne, Lowell, Whittier, Holmes, and many others.' The firm of H. O. Houghton & Co., proprietors of the Riverside Press, published also standard, professional, and miscellaneous books, under the name of Hard & Houghton, with its chief office of publication in New York. It was also successor, by purchase, to the business of Crocker & Brewster, one of the oldest book-houses in America. The list of publications of Houghton, Osgood & Company embraces pure literature, the literature of knowledge, and professional and text books. In literature proper it is represented by the greatest names in England and America, both historical and living. A series of British Poets, from Ballads to Browning and Tennyson, numbering more than a hundred and fifty volumes, is on its list ; and of Amer- ican poets they are the publishers of Longfellow, Emerson, Lowell, Whittier, Holmes, Aldrich, Taylor, Bret Harte, Howells, Stedman, the Carys, and many others. Translations of the great poets, Homer, Dante, Virgil, and Goethe, by . modern poets, Bryant, Longfellow, Cranch, and Taylor, and extensive anthologies by Emerson, Whittier, and Longfellow, indicate the fullness with which poetry is represented. Complete works of the great prose writers of England and America also appear in editions of Bacon, Macaulay, Scott, i)e Quincey, Dick- ens, Cooper, Mrs. Stowe, Hawthorne, and Emerson. In the literature of knowledge, besides a long list of special treatises in art, history, biography, science, politics, and philosophy, important cyclopaedic works are displayed in Knight's " American Mechanical Dictionary," treating of 20,000 subjects, illustrated by 6,000 carefully prepared engravings, comprised in three large octavo volumes ; and in the unabridged, enlarged, and corrected edition of Dr. William Smith's " Dictionary of the Bible," in four volumes of 3,667 pages. Its profes- sional works cover the departments of Law, Medicine and Surgery, Architecture, and school and text books. Special attention is given to the publication of Law Books, of which an important list both of trea- tises and reports is published, including the Reports of Cases argued and determined in the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts," a series having the highest reputation in America. The house has also an important collection of illustrated books and works of fine art including the reproduction of celebrated pictures, by the Heliotype Process, of which it holds the monopoly ; and it publishes the Atlantic Monthly and several valuable professional periodicals. 14 WORKS EXHIBITED.

This establishment, where are manufactured all the books and period- icals published by Houghton, Osgood & Co., as well as many publica- tions by other firms, is situated on the banks of the Charles River, in the immediate vicinity of Harvard College. The printing of books was begun here by the present senior proprietor in 1851, in a single brick building, forming now the rear projection of the principal building, and a wooden attachment. At that time Mr. Houghton hired the premises, and confined himself to type-setting, stereotyping, and printing. The Riverside Press now occupies an estate of between three and four acres owned by the firm, the ground being well covered with a collection of buildings devoted to the manufacture and storage of books, material, and plates ; the water front is protected by a stone pier allowing ample wharf room, and a fine open view of the river, meadows. University towers, and distant hills ; while within the inclosure are a number of dweUing-houses-for the accommodation of workmen and their families. The number of persons employed, men and women, is about four hundred. There is an organized fire department, a library for the work-people, who have also a savings department ; telegraphic com- munication direct with all points, and telephonic connection with the pubhshing house in Boston. THE DEPARTMENTS. I. The Composing Room, furnished with a large stock of type, including fonts of foreign type, gives employment to nearly a hundred men and women, and to a large corps of competent proof-readers. Special attention is given to privately printed books. 11. The Stere- otype AND Electrotype Foundry, fitted with the latest machinery for perfecting plates. There is a fire-proof safe for the storage of plates, detached, and above ground. III. The Press Rooms, with cylinder, platen, and hand presses, are arranged both for executing large orders and for doing the finest cut-work. On the presses may constantly be seen Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, of which about 100 tons are manufactured yearly at Riverside. IV. The Bindery .has the reputation of producing marked original effects in bindino-, and comprises all classes of cloth and leather work. V. The Steel Plate Printing Room. VI. The Lithographic Department. The Atlantic Portraits and the series of Wild Flowers of America, are the product of this department. AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1867, The Riverside Press was awarded the highest medal given for book- making in America. For extent and completeness of organization and for finish of execution it stands preeminent among American presses. The present catalogue is printed at the Riverside Press. ^Beriotiicals ISSUED BY HOUGHTON, OSGOOD & CO. WiNTHROP Square, Boston. THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY. DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, SCIENCE, ART, AND POLITICS. ESTABLISHED IN 1857. — PUBLISHED MONTHLY. Terms : Yearly subscription, $4.00. Single numbers, 35 cents. The Atlantic Monthly was established during the period of intense literary and moral activity just preceding the recent war, and at once became the vehicle for the profoundest thought and the most artistic expression. The leading American writers, — Emerson, Prescott, Motley, Agassiz, LoNGFELLovif, Bryant, Lowell, Holmes, Thoreau, Whittier, Mrs. Stowe, Hawthorne, Norton, Whip- ple, — under the leadership of James Russell Lowell, the first editor, at once accepted it as the organ of pure American letters and high purpose, and some of these writers still live to contribute to its pages. It has never lost sight of its high aim, and continues to present the best work of new writers, adding to the great names of its early writers those of Taylor, Parkman, Aldrich, Howells, Higgin- SON, Fiske, White, James, Warner, Mark Twain, Trowbridge, Story, Bret Harte, Miss Preston, Stedman; all of whom are amongst its regular contributors. In its department of criticism it brings the most careful consideration to 'the task of discrimination in current literature. A series of portraits of eminent American writers, under the title of the ATLANTIC PORTRAITS, has been commenced, and includes thus far hfe-size portraits of Longfellow, Bryant, and Whittier, executed with great care. These portraits are sold only to subscribers to the Atlantic, at the price of ;?l.oo for each portrait.

PUBLISHERS, 743 AND 745 Broadway, New York. This house was founded in 1846, by Charles Scribner, and has steadily increased its business until now it ranks as one of the four great publishing firms of the United States. In their miscellaneous list, Messrs. Scribner, Armstrong & Co., in- clude the works of ex-President Woolsey and President Porter, of Yale College, Hon. Geo. P. Marsh, Professors Bowen, Fisher, Perry, Whitney, and Dr. Charles Hodge, the writings of Dr. J. G. Holland, Donald G. Mitchell (Ik. Marvel), and Mary Mapes Dodge ; authorized reprints of the works of James Anthony Froude, Dean Stanley, Max Miiller, the Speaker's Commentary, etc. ; also standard editions of Curtius' Greece, Mommsen's Rome, etc., etc. As specimens of American book-making, they exhibit their Amer- ican Edition of Schliemann's " Mycenae " and Cook's " The House Beautiful." Scribner, Armstrong & Co. are widely known as the publishers of " Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures," a work which has en- gaged the labors of contributors in Germany, Great Britain, and the United States, under the general editorship of Dr. Philip Schaff, for a period of twelve years, and which is completed in 1878 Ijy the issue of the 24th volume. Another important enterprise of this House is the publication of a " Popular History of the United States," edited by William Cullen Bryant and Sydney Howard Gay ; this has reached the second volume and will be completed by the issue of two additional volumes, each volume containing over three hundred and fifty illustrations from orig- inal designs. In their School Text Book Department, Messrs. Scribner, Arm- strong & Co. publish the world famous Maps and School Geographies of Dr. Arnold Guyot which received the highest medals at the Vienna and Philadelphia International Exhibitions. They also publish the New Illustrated School Readers, edited by Prof. E. A. Sheldon, Felter's Arithmetics, Tenney's Text Books in Natural History, and Cooley's Physics, all of which, like the works of Professor Guyot, are progressive, scientific, and successful school books.

In 1870 Scribner & Co., a joint stock company, composed of the members of the book publishing house of Charles Scribner & Co., together with Dr. J. G. Holland and Roswell Smith, was organized for the publication of Scribner's Monthly, the first number of which periodical appeared in October of that year, under the editorial man- agement of J. G. Holland. Although the most distinctively American magazine published, Scribner's Monthly has a large circulation in England, and now in its eighth year ranks among the best illustrated periodicals of the world. No popular illustrated magazine has ever before reached so high a grade of excellence in both literary and artistic departments. Especial attention is called to the originality and artistic quality of design and the perfection of engraving in the "Midwinter Number" issued February, 1878, copies of which are here exhibited. The edition of this number reached one hundred thousand copies. In the autumn of 1873 Scribner & Co. began the publication of St. Nicholas, an illustrated magazine for girls and boys, with Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge as editor. The design of this periodical is to sweeten and brighten the home-life by furnishing for young folks excellent and lively stories, poems, sketches, and instructive papers, in simple style illustrated by pictures of highest artistic quality. The first number of St. Nicholas was issued in November, 1873, and it met with the most extraordinary success. Parents, critics, and the press of both England and America, conceded it to be the best magazine for children that had yet appeared. Since then it has steadily grown in favor, until to-day St. Nicholas stands alone in its special field. The London Academy of December 22, 1877, says : " We have no hesitation in saying that both in the letter-press and in the pictures this American magazine has no rival." Among the many distinguished contributors to St. Nicholas are Henry W. Longfellow, William Cullen Bryant, John G. Whittier, ' Thomas Hughes, George MacDonald, Richard A. Proctor, William Howitt, Charles Dudley Warner, J. G. Holland, Bayard Taylor, Louisa M. Alcott, Mrs. Oliphant, and Mary Mapes Dodge. WORKS EXHIBITED. SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY.

Both are, in their general aims, coordinate, but their influence varies as their spheres of action diverge. The bookseller, naturally, works in a narrow and circumscribed field, benefiting his immediate surroundings and moulding, perhaps, the thought and intelligence of the community ; the publisher, both of books and periodicals, has for his sphere of action the whole world, and the direct influence of his life-work is felt wherever the printed page is read, or the freshest thoughts and theories are discussed. It is with a knowledge of this personal responsibihty, and with the purpose of so shaping his active labors as to meet the requirements of advancing intelligence, that Mr. Steiger, from the very outset of his business career, has directed all his energies. Recognizing the fact that an exchange of international thought is as necessary as the estab- lishment of international commerce, he has endeavored to secure the widest possible introduction of German and other foreign books and periodicals into America. To this end, he has collected, and is con- stantly augmenting, a very extensive assortment of German publica- tions, and, for the guidance of book buyers, he has compiled and issued more than thirty different catalogues, embracing nearly every department of literature. But, while importing foreign publications, etc., so extensively, Mr. Steiger, on the other hand, is devoting especial attention to the expor- tation of American books, periodicals, etc., to all parts of the world. The extent and importance of American literature are too commonly underrated, owing to the lack of that information which systematic cataloguing would furnish. Yet there are pubhshed every year, in the United States, works of great importance and value, which leave their impress on the intellectual development of the world, while in me- chanical execution superiority is aimed at. The statistics of libraries show a rapid and steady increase, and attest the wide extent of that absorbing desire for reading which is a characteristic of the American people. To the periodical press, however, we must look for the most important signs of national activity and progress, and for the best and truest record of a nation's life and usefulness. Various influences have combined to secure, in the United States, a marvelous develop- ment of the periodical press — greater, in fact, both absolutely and relatively, than that which it has attained in any other country. It was with a view to call attention to the wide range of this special class of American publications, that Mr. Steiger collected specimens 26 Ahn's First German Reader.

This collection proved to be at once a revelation and a most interesting surprise, and was decreed the Medal of Merit. Afterwards, in order to retain and promulgate the information conveyed by this collection, Mr. Steiger compiled and published a descriptive list of all these peri- odicals with others (altogether about 8,300) under the title : The Periodical Literature of the United Slates of Ajnerica, which is here exhibited together with the other catalogues above mentioned. Believing that as faithful service may be rendered in the pubhsher's ofSce as at the teacher's desk, Mr. Steiger has for years devoted his best energies to the advancement of the one cause, ever kept in view, — education. For this he has labored assiduously both as a book- seller and a publisher : as a bookseller, to secure the widest possible introduction for everything that has seemed to him of value or benefit to educators ; as a publisher, to become the medium through which the best thoughts of the best minds might be given to the profession. It has seemed to him that the interests of education are not alone served by the production of costly or voluminous works — monuments of literary ability and exhaustive research, or models of book-making, — but that more general advantage is to be derived from the careful preservation, and attractive presentation to the millions of teachers and parents, of the small seeds and germs of educational knowledge, at a minimum of cost, or as a gratuitous offering. In furtherance of this design, he has engaged in the publication of valuable hand-books for teachers, school officers, and others. Prom- inent among such books are the Cyclopadia of Education and the Year-Book of Education. These stand alone in their especial domain as a peculiar branch of English hterature, inasmuch as no publisher, either in America or England, has until now been found willing to make this venture in an untried field. Another enterprise in the same direction, though still in its infancy, is the issue of the Papers on Education, the purpose of which under- taking, entirely unremunerative in a commercial point of view, is to collect a series of brief Addresses, Lectures, Papers, etc., on educa- tional topics, and to issue these in a separate, attractive, and conven- ient form, at cost-price (only a few cents each), insuring for them by this means a very extensive dissemination. This series will be grad- ually extended so as to include many hundreds of pamphlets." 28 No. 4. The Connected Slat, the Disconnected Slat (Slat-interlacing), Stick- laying. With 480 illustrations.

These Boxes are primarily intended for children who are unable to attend a Kin- dergarten regularly, and also as a substi- tute for toys and playthings generally. Stated more precisely, how- ever, their design is to provide children of three years and over with instructive and quiet amusement, and to quicken their intellect without weary- ing the brain ; to inculcate manual skill, artistic taste, a ready appreciation of results, and, consequently, a love of learning and application ; to train children's minds through apparent play and recreation while they are the means of producing little presents; to prepare children for school, 29 In the publication of numerous Text-books, Mr. Steiger has care- fully studied the needs of learners, and has, therefore, sought to obtain great accuracy, while offering the books at low prices and in con- venient form. At Vienna, 1873, the Medal of Merit was awarded to Mr.'Steiger's Text-books. As specimens of such publications, an exhibition is here made of Ahn-Henn's German Series, and Ahn-Henn's French Series. These text-books are carefully graded and adapted to a rapid but thorough progress ; they are accompanied by Reading Charts, by Readers (with instructive and entertaining selections, together with Notes and Vocab- ulary or with Foot-notes and Vocabulary), and by Keys to the Exer- cises — so as to make these books available, not only for teaching, but for self-study. Mr. Steiger has also devoted much labor to the introduction of the Kindergarten system into the United States, and through his exten- sive pubh cation of Kindergarten literature, has endeavored to direct the attention of educators and the public generally to the " New Edu- cation." This he has accomplished by the issue of small leaflets and tracts, catalogues, and pamphlets, most of them for gratuitous distri- bution. More recently he has published several books on Kinder- gartening, and has at present in course of publication The Kinder- garten Guide, by Maria Kraus-Boelte and John Kraus, — a work which, it is thought, when completed, will be the most extensive practical hand-book of the system in the English language. It is largely due to efforts of this kind that the Kindergarten system has become so widely known, and has been introduced with so much success into numberless private institutions in the United States. It is, perhaps, a matter of still greater moment that this work has re- sulted also in the system's being largely adopted in connection with the public schools of several cities as a course oi pre-primary ed- ucation. Thus in St. Louis, there were in December, 1877, 3,676 children under the usual school age in the forty-one Kindergartens connected with the public schools. The expense for each child in the Kindergarten was only $4.05 per year, while the cost of tuition in the primary schools was about $1 1.50 per pupil. In reality, however, inas- much as a part of the children pay a small quarterly fee, for material used, the public Kindergartens cost the city treasury next to nothing, while Kindergarten training enables children to go through the regu- lar school course more rapidly, as well as more thoroughly, than other 30 and render home instruction easy and entertaining, without requiring con- stant attention. Each Box contains Material, Designs, and Instructions. The following are now issued : 1. Stick-layings $0-75' 2. Net-work Drawing, $0.75. 3. Perforating[Prick'g), $0.75. 4.

A result of this is a saving of one year or more in the time of schooling, and, consequently, a saving of money to the public treasury, — a matter worthy of the most careful consideration of all. The Kindergarten system of education having thus found ready acceptance among the educators of America, Mr. Steiger has under- taken still further to popularize it by the issue of a series of boxes, which he calls " Froebel's Kindergarten Occupations for the Fantily" samples of which are here exhibited. The Kindergarten Gifts and Occupation Material manufactured by Mr. Steiger are of a superior quality ; they have taken the place of similar European goods, and are now being extensively exported. At the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876 a Medal was awarded to Mr. Steiger for the excellence and superiority of his Kindergarten goods. A portion only of the extensive series of Terrestrial and Celestial Globes published by Mr. Steiger are here exhibited. These speci- mens will, however, suffice to thoroughly substantiate the claims of the Globes to accuracy, beauty, and durability, as well as to compar- ative cheapness, and other minor points of superiority. The Schedler Globes have been before the public since 1865. In 1867 the 20-inch Terrestrial Globe (the only one then issued) received the First Prize at the Paris Exposition ; in 1873, when about fifty dif- ferent numbers were exhibited at Vienna, they secured the Medal of Merit ; and, having been still further improved, and increased in vari- ety, they obtained a Diploma and Medal, over all competitors, at Phil- adelphia, in 1876, the Judges recommending them for the following reasons : "Excellence of work, delicacy of finish, accuracy of adjust- ments, freshness of detail, economy of cost" These Globes are made in sizes of 20, 16, 12, 9, 6, 4, and 3 inches in diameter, and in various styles of mounting, so that no less than sixty-five different kinds are now on sale. Their further improvement and more complete adaptation to the progress of science and discovery is a subject of incessant study, in view of the fact that the American public prefer the most improved article in every line to inferior though cheaper goods, — in other words, believing in the principle, that "the best is always the cheapest." Elegant and pleasing in appearance, they are manufactured in a most substantial manner, proof against all the influences of temperature and climate, and thus especially ^fZ/cr exportation to all parts of the world. 32 TERRESTRIAL GLOBES, of 9 inches Diameter.

BLAKEMAN. TAYLOR. & CO.. EDUCATIONAL PUBLISHERS, New York and Chicago. [The subjoined notice of this house is abridged from an elaborate article on the same subject, which some time ago appeared in the " New York Evening Post," the most influential literary journal in the United States, having for its editor the famous poet, William Cullen Bryant.] Among the largest and wealthiest of the publishing houses of the United States, are two or three tirms who devote themselves almost wholly to School and College Text-Books, and of these Messrs. Ivi- son, Blakemah, Taylor, & Co., is the most extensive. The house was established in 1828, and has gone through all the notable commercial vicissitudes since that time with unimpaired credit and standing, and is now one of the foremost pubhshing concerns of America. Its catalogue comprises about three hundred volumes, more or less of which are used in a majority of the schools of the United States. More than seventy-five million volumes of these books have been sold since the establishment of the firm, and the present requirements of its business necessitate an average daily issue of about fifteen thousand volumes. Above seven hundred tons of white paper are an- nually used in their manufacture, and as many as two hundred and fifty persons are given employment in the various departments of the business. During the busy season, beginning about the first of August, the house often receive orders from single firms for as many as one hun- dred thousand volumes of their books at one time, and the largest number ever ordered at once was one hundred and eighty-six thou- sand volumes, this order coming from Chicago. We have not space to name all the authors nor enumerate the books which this house has upon its lists. Sanders' Spellers and Readers, in their various editions, have had a national reputation for thirty years, and are more extensively used in this country than any other similar series. They have now a sale of more than two million copies annu- ally. Robinson's mathematical works have a wide reputation, and the pubUshers sell half a million copies a year. The " Spencerian Copy Books " are among the more important and profitable features of Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor, & Co.'s list. The fact that they sell a mil- lion and a half of these books every year tells their story. Following their catalogue we notice Webster's Dictionaries, which have a universal popularity, Swinton's Geographies, the most noted series of books in that science yet published, Kerl's English Gram- mars, The New Graded Readers, Gray's Botany, Dana's Geology, Silliman's Physics, Wells' Popular Science Books, Fasquelle's French Course, and Woodbury's German Course. They publish the widely used Astronomy of Mr. Kiddle, the accom- plished Superintendent of the New York City Schools ; and for the benefit of the Spanish speaking people of the South American States they issue a handsome series of reading books and a translation of Peter Parley's Universal History, in the Spanish language, by Profes- sor Mantilla of the University of New York. Of these Spanish books they sell several thousand copies a year to the South American and Mexican trade. 36 WORKS EXHIBITED.

After having been engaged for more than twenty years in its prep- aration, the first edition of the above work was published by the Au- tlior in 2 vols. 4to, in 1828. The second edition, containing large additions to the first, was also published by the Author in 2 vols. 8vo, in 1841. The first stereotype edition, thoroughly revised by Professor Chaun- cey A. Goodrich of Yale College, son-in-law of Dr. Webster, was pubhshed in i vol. 4to, in 1847, and soon became the recognized au- thority of the country as a Dictionary. The present edition, an entire revision, and largely a reconstruction of the above, and of necessity greatly enlarged, edited by President Noah Porter of Yale College, with about thirty able helpers in the various departments, was first published in 1864. In preparing this edition, Professor Mahn of Berlin, selected by President Porter as the best European scholar for the purpose, spent about five years on the single department of Etymology, and no labor or expense has been spared to make and keep the work as nearly perfect as possible by a thorough use of all the advanced facilities, both in America and abroad, for such perfection. An American Book Abroad. — Webster's Dictionary is now con- sidered throughout the continent of Europe, not only the authority par excellence in English lexicography, but as the characteristic Amer- ican book. It is better known and more widely circulated than any other. I have met with it at the Imperial Library in Paris, the Library of the British Museum, the Athenseum and other London Clubs, and numerous other places. I have heard of it from Turkey, India, China, and even Japan. It is everywhere deservedly applauded for the ele- gance of its type, the distinctness of its impression, the beauty of the engravings, and the vast amount of information condensed within its covers. — Paris Cor. of Boston Post. .•^8 A NATIONAL STANDARD.

The sale of Webster's Dictionaries is 20 times as great as the sale of any other series of Dictionaries. "August 4, i8tj. The Dictionary used in the Government Printing Office is Webster's Unabridged." Is it not rightly claimed that Webster is THE NATIONAL STANDARD? 39 J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO., PUBLISHERS, BOOKSELLERS, IMPORTERS, AND STATIONERS, Nos. 715 AND 717 Market Street, PHILADELPHIA, U. S. A. London Agency : 16 Southampton Street, Covent Garden. The business of the firm of J. B. Lippincott & Co. was estab- lished towards the close of the last century, and, after passing through several changes in its management, was purchased in 1850 by the present senior. Since then the business has steadily increased, until it has developed into one of the largest publishing, bookselling, and stationery houses in the world. The magnitude of the business transacted by this firm will be ap- preciated, from the fact that its shipments extend on an average to over twenty-two States daily, and in 1877 over 24,500 boxes and large express parcels were dispatched, independent of extensive local de- liveries. The list of the publications of the house embraces the titles of over 2,500 volume^, and this is being increased at the rate of more than 100 volumes per annum. Every department of literature is represented in their Catalogue, from the smallest primer to some of the largest and most valuable works published, — such as Worcester's Dictionaries, Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer, Allibone's Dictionary of Authors, Chambers' Encyclopedia, Prescott's Works, Lippincott's Biographical Dictionary, Irving's Works, Chambers' Book of Days, the U. S. Dis- pensatory, Woods' Practice and Therapeutics, Da Costa's Medical Diagnosis, the Waverley Novels, Bulwer's Novels, etc., etc. The periodicals issued by this firm are Lippincott's Magazine, an illustrated monthly of Popular Literature and Science, and the Phila- delphia Medical Times, a bi-weekly journal of Medical and Surgical Science. Everything connected with the Book and Stationery Business can be procured in their establishment, from a pen to the largest folio volume. J. B. Lippincott & Co. occuj^y two large adjoining buildings, each six stories high, and use a greater area of square feet in their sales and manufacturing department than any other house in the United States. A line of their publications is kept constantly on hand at their Lon- don agency, 16 Southampton Street, Covent Garden, where all Euro- pean orders should be addressed. 40 WORKS EXHIBITED.

The importance, rather than the number, of their publications has placed Gebbie & Barrie in a forward rank among the publishers of the United States. Messrs. Gebbie & Barrie have chosen the r61e of Fine Art Publish- ers, and, during their existence as a publishing firm, have issued the important works noted on other pages. These books have been exhib- ited at one State and two International Exhibitions, and received in each instance the highest awards. During the period of great commercial depression in the United States, Gebbie & Barrie undertook the publication of " The Illustrated Catalogue of the Masterpieces of the International Exhibition, 1876," held at Philadelphia, and although it was a most expensive work to produce, it proved a profitable venture. A copy of this work is on exhibition. Another important work, issued by Gebbie & Barrie, is the " Life of Jesus Christ for the Young," by the well-known Dr. Richard Newton, profusely illustrated with engravings on steel and wood. This work occupies a place never before attempted in the field of literature; it is the only book ever written, where the author weaves together the Histories, the Types, the Incidents, and Prophecies of the Old Tes- tament in their reference to Christ, and aims to show how the whole Bible is indeed just what the last book in the New Testament has been called — " the Revelation of Jesus Christ." It is intended to be an aid to parents in the great work of Christian culture. The other publications of Gebbie & Barrie will be found described in the annexed list, and circulars may be had by applying to Mr. Em. Terquem, in charge of our exhibit. 42 WORKS EXHIBITED.

With few exceptions, all works issued in the United States on this subject are owned or published by them. Their sev- eral establishments, located in the principal cities, are devoted solely to the sale of Homoeopathic Books and Medicines. The first treatise on Homoeopathy was published in this country in the year 1825, in New York, by H. B. Gram, C. M. L., entitled " The Characteristics of Homceopathia." This was followed in 1833 by an essay in German delivered before the " Hahnemannischen Gesell- schaft zu Philadelphia," on April l8th, entitled " Kurze Uebersicht der homoBOpathischeii Heilkunst, ihrer allmaehligen Entstehung 7indjetzi- gen Ausbildiaig, von Constantine Hering, M. D., pp. 30, Bvo. The first journal devoted to Homoeopathy, " The Aitierican Journal of Ho- mceopathy," was edited, in 1835, by John F. Gray, M. D., and A. Gerald Hull, M. D., in New York. In 1835 t'^'^ the first Homoeopathic Phar- macy was established in New York, from which was issued in 1841 its first publication, " Jahr's New Manual of Homceopathic Practice, edited with Annotations by A. Gerald Hull, M. D. 2 vols. l2mo, pp. 651-760. Second American, from the Third or Paris Edition." From this time onward homoeopathic books came out more rapidly, tmtil from this establishment and its present owners, one hundred and sixty- three different bound works (beside numerous pamphlets) have been issued to date ; one hundred and twenty-eight of which are in print at the present time. This house also publishes the North American Journal of Ho- mcsopathy, a quarterly, now in its XXVIth volume, and the Hahne- mannian Monthly" now in its Xlllth volume. The former is the oldest homoeopathic serial in the United States. Formerly the bulk of homoeopathic works published in this country consisted of translations from the French and German ; but this has changed of late years, only exceptionally a work being now translated into English, while original works of American authors have been and are being translated into the German and French languages, as, for instance, " Hale's New Remedies," into the former, and " An- gell on Diseases of the Eye," " Ludlam on Diseases of Women," into the latter language. In 1875 was commenced the publication of '■^ Allen^s Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica : a Record of the Positive Effects of Drugs upon the Healthy Human Organism." This stupendous work will comprise about ten volumes, six of which have already been issued, the seventh is in press ; and the whole work will be completed in 1879. This is the most extensive modern work on Materia Medica ever at- tempted and published in any country, and is highly appreciated by the medical profession. This house received a Diploma at the World's Exhibition in Chili in 1875, and a Prize Medal and Diploma at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. 46 BOOKS ON EXHIBITION. ALLEN, DR. T. F.

Art Publishers. Educational Publishers. 286 RoxBURY St., Boston, Mass., U. S. A. The present house of L. Prang & Co. was founded in the year 1856 by Mr. Louis Prang. It bore at first tine character of a litho- graphic establishment devoted to commercial work of all kinds, and by force of circumstances the execution of Mr. Prang's desire to become a publisher of chromo-lithographic art-works had to be deferred until 1865, in which year he commenced to issue the fac-similes of oil and water-color paintings which have since become popular all over the world under the name of " Prang's American Chromos." The pe- culiarities for which these chromos are valued are richness of color, depth of tone, and general resemblance to the originals, qualities which have been reached by an unstinted use of artistic and technical re- sources, some of the best pieces having been produced by from forty to fifty printings. The firm of L. Prang & Co. has made a more extended and useful application of chromo-lithography than probably any other house in America or even in Europe. Its publications comprise works of fine art ; educational, scientific, artistic, and other books ; appliances for the government of schools and moral education ; illuminated cards of all kinds ; maps, charts, and plans ; and commercial work of the better class. The educational department received a .special impetus when, in the year 1874, Mr. Prang admitted Mr. John S. Clark, for- merly of the firm of James R. Osgood & Co., as a partner, and assumed the publication of Prof Walter Smith's " American Text-books of Art Education." It is claimed that these text-books, together with the " Examples for Advanced Study," also published by the firm, form a well-developed, systematic course of art instruction, such as no other country, not even France or England, can boast of. The course is especially adapted to Public Schools, and carries the pupil logically through all the various stages, from the Elementary Schools, through' thie Secondary into the Special Schools in which he may wish to finish his training. Professor Smith, a graduate of South Kensington, and a teacher of long, practical experience in England as well as in America, is thoroughly conversant with all the European systems of art educa- tion, and the " Text-books " prepared by him are therefore based on the correct educational principles which have been developed in Eu- rope within the last twenty-five years. The establishment of L. Prang & Co. is located in a large, four- story brick building especially erected for it. It employs about 100 persons, four steam presses, and a large number of hand presses and other machinery. The firm received the Medal of Progress at Vienna, and the Medal at Philadelphia, these being the only World's Fairs at which it competed. But besides these, it also possesses a great many gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded at pther exhibitions. AGENTS IN EUROPE. Arthur Ackermann, 191 Regent Street, London, W. Carl Herm.

Prang & Co. Full Catalogues can be obtained of Em. Terquem, 12 Boulevard Poissonniere, Paris, representative of L. Prang & Co. at the Paris Exposition of 1878. 51 HENRY HOLT & CO. PUBLISHERS, NEW YORK. This house published its first book in 1863. It did riot devote itself specially to publishing until the present head of the firm entered the house in 1866. The number of its publications has now increased to nearly five hundred. The business was founded by the accomplished bibliographer, Mr. Frederick Leypoldt, who abandoned book-publish- ing in 1871 to devote himself exclusively to the editorship of the Ptib- lishers' Weekly, — the official organ of all the American book-trade associations. Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. have published translations from the following French authors : Taine, About, Gautier, Cherbuhez, Mme. Craven, Droz, Maurice de Guerin, Morelet, Sainte-13euve, and Tourgueneff, many of whose works were written in French. But few of these works have succeeded enough to yield any literary honor- arium beyond that due to the translator. The chief exception has been in the case of M. Taine, whom the American public appreciate very highly. The first translation into English of any work of this great author was made by an American, Mr. John Durand, and of the thirteen volumes of his writings in the Messrs. Holt's edition, nine are translated by Americans, and five have never been published in Enghsh outside of America. They make a specialty of educational works in French and German, of which they now publish more than twice as many as any other house in America. The text-books in these languages at the leading American universities — Harvard and Yale — are almost entirely selected from their list. Their list includes several of the most famous American and Eng- lish authors. It is worthy of notice that it is to America one must go to find, in the hst of this house, a uniform edition of the miscellaneous writings of John Stuart Mill. None exists in England. This edition does not include his technical writings (Pohtical Economy and Logic), as they were already in the possession of older publishers before the house of Holt existed. In America, books of character are not first published in paper covers, but in cloth cases. This house has always taken great pains to make the cases appropriate to the character of the books, not only putting sober books in sober cases, and bright books in bright ones, but endeavoring to make the decoration, where any is used, correspond- ent with the nature of the book. It is in order to display these indi- vidualities of design that Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. have sent most of their specimens in the ordinary cases rather than in leather bind- ings, which, although richer, admit of but little originality of treatment.

The publications of this house are text-books for use in schools and colleges, including works on Geography, Mathematics, Reading, English Language and Literature, History, Latin, etc., etc., and are known as the " University Series." The Geographies are from the pen of our American geographer, the late M. F. Maury, LL. D., for a long time at the head of the Na- tional Observatory, Washington, and held in highest honor among scientific men on both sides of the Atlantic. These books have been received with warmest favor both in America and in England, for the exceedingly attractive and interesting manner in which the subject is presented. The Mathematical Series of Prof. C. S. Venable, of the University of Virginia, illustrating his clear mathematical insight and practical scholarship, is most natural, thorough, and substantial in its qualities. The Readers, by Prof. G. F. Holmes, of the same institution, reflect his scholarly taste and judgment, and are bright, pleasing, and well- arranged, with excellent selections from the best English and Amer- ican authors. The Latin Series of Prof. B. L. Gildersleeve [Ph. D., Gottingen], of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, a scholar and educator distinguished for his linguistic attainments, holds the highest place with the best classical scholars and teachers of the country, and is remarkable for its clearness, freshness, idiomatic accuracy, and skillful adaptation of the results of the best modern research to elementary study. Especial attention is invited to the Latin Grammar and the Latin Primer, as books of preeminent merit. The History of the United States, written bv an able professor of History and English Literature, who during the late war was on the Confederate side, aims to present the facts of American history with entire impartiality and in a broad and catholic spirit. For titles, style of ordinary binding, and prices of these and other volumes of the "University Series," reference is made to the ap- pended List of Publications. 54 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS ON EXHIBITION.

DAVIS. BARDEEN & CO.. Publishers, Syracuse, N. Y. These publications have grown directly out of the needs o/t/ie public schools of the State of New York, in which they are used almost exclusively. With one or iivo exceptions^ they are supplementary to the ordinary text-books used, THE REGENTS' QUESTIONS. Since 1866 the Regents of the State of New York have held examinations three times a year in all the Academies and Academic Departments of the Union Schools, granting certificates to such pupils as pass satisfactorily, and apportioning upon these certificates a large sum of money among the schools of the State. As pupils begin the study of the higher branches after passing this examination, the questions are made to embrace all that is practical in the above branches. These questions are novf used as text-books in many of the leading schools of the country. Cornell University, recognizing their practical character, admits, without further examination upon these subjects pupils who have passed an examination upon these questions. The following editions are now published : — 1. The Regents' Questions in Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar, AND Spelling. Complete, with Keys to the Arithmetic, Geography, and Grammar Questions, and portrait of Chancellor Pruyn. i6mo. Cloth, $2.00. 2.

The chief object of this Review is to supply the demand for a non-partisan and International literature. In politics and religion the Review will subserve the interest of no sect or party. The Review will aim to discuss, in a vigorous, interesting, and impartial manner, both sides of many of the important literary, scientific, social, political, and religious questions of the day. II. It brings to its pages the best talent of Europe and America, and seeks to be a medium of communication between representative thinkers of every nation. III. The interests and union of the many foreign elements that constitute American society are a very important part of the work assumed by the Inter- national Review. IV. Like the Quarterlies, it addresses scholars, and, like the Monthlies, aims to be of value to practical men in business and the professions, and of interest to members of the family. V. Each number contains fresh and reliable notices of important new Amer- ican and European books. VI. The Art Department will be conducted by Mr. Philip Gilbert Hamerton. VII. Editorial comments upon the course of events at home and abroad, having special reference to the interests of the United States, are given in, and add strength and timeliness to every issue. VIII. The success of the International Reviev^ is made to depend upon a comprehensive plan, solid merit, and adaptation in style and subject to the age in which we live. ALL ARTICLES ARE ORIGINAL.

THE IRON A GE — A Commercial, Industrial, and Technical Review of the Hardware, Iron, and Metal Trades — was founded in 1855, and is thus the oldest publication of its class in the world. It is the largest newspaper pub- lished in ^ny country, each issue, whether weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly, consisting of from 36 to 48 large five-column pages, neatly stitched and trimmed, containing more reading matter than an average i2mo volume, besides the advertisements of over 500 American manufacturers and dealers. Its cir- culation is more than double that of any other publication of its class in the world. Its foreign circulation is rapidly increasing, its regular subscribers be- ing found in Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Spain, Italy, West Indies, Bermuda, Brazil, Mexico, Chili, Buenos Ayres, Sandwich Islands, Australia, New Zealand, and New South Wales.

THE METALLURGICAL REVIEW\s a monthly magazine, elegantly printed and freely illustrated.

Bayles, Editor of The Iron Ag-e and Metal Worker. This book deals practically with so much of the subjects of drainage and water distribution as is of interest to architects, builders, plumbers, physicians, householders, and students of hygiene in its relations to architecture. Ques- tions of mterest only to engineers are not considered. The principal subjects discussed are : — Sewer Gas, Waste Pipes, Traps and Seals, Water Closets, Service Pipes and Water Distribution in Cities, Tanks and Cisterns, the Chemistry of Plumbing, the Hydraulics of Plumbing, Rural Water Supply, Conditions of Health m Country Houses, Sanitary Care of Premises, Disinfection, etc. The work is fully illustrated with examples of good and bad work. It is written for non-professional as well as professional readers, and is the most valuable of practical contributions to the literature of sanitary science. SEE ALSO INDIVIDUAL EXHIBIT. 66 J. SABIN & SONS, PUBLISHERS, 84 Nassau Street, New York. A Dictionary of Books relating to America^ from its Discovery to the Present Time. By Joseph Sabin. This work is intended to be a thorough BibHography of Americana. It is naturally a worlc of much research and slow of progress, but the determination once made has been followed up by patient labor, and at this time nine volumes have issued from the press, describing over 40,000 books. The author has not contented himself with a rough or careless con- glomeration of titles, but has obtained his information from the best authorities, and in all cases, where possible, from the books them- selves. To the titles which are arranged alphabetically, he has, when obtainable, added the collations, and in regard to books of rarity, ini- tial letters have been appended, indicating the public library wherein they may be found. To add to the thoroughness and jsractical utility of the work a care- ful system of cross reference has been introduced, and notes descript- ive and explanatory are interspersed. The interest attached to the History of America, its discovery, prog- ress, and literature, has long since made manifest the importance of a thorough national bibliography ; that the present work shall, when completed, stand as a national bibliography unrivaled in comprehen- siveness, thoroughness, and care, is the confident trust of the author. The work, though costly, is not dear, for it embraces not only all bibliographies of the subject, but so much more that it supersedes a multitude of catalogues and imperfectly arranged books. To this dictionary the attention of the librarians and amateurs of France is respectfully requested. The early history of America, as associated with French navigators, discoverers, and missionaries, is full of interest and is treated with great care — vide Champlain. The author will be grateful for subscriptions to the work. It is an expensive undertaking, and subscriptions are thankfully received as an encouragement and assistance in producing the work. The chief librarians of the United States have given the work high praise ; and that it is a work worthy a position in the public libraries of France, is respectfully submitted by the publishers. 67 EM.

HONORE de la confiance des ^diteurs frangais qui m'avaient nommd leur reprdsentant k I'Exposition de Philadelphie et de celle des ^di- teurs amdricains que je reprdsente k Paris, j'estime, par suite de mes relations, etre k meme d'^tablir un courant suivi d'affaires d'exporta- tion et d'importation ; pour les cuvrages frangais, d'une part et amdr- icains, de I'autre. Tous mes efforts tendront a favoriser le d^veloppement de la librai- rie amdricaine qui semble ne pas Stre assez connue en Europe ; les renseignements ; les ordres d'achat ; les souscriptions k tous les Mag- azines, Revues, Journaux, etc., etc., seront accueillis avec reconnais- sance. Honored with the confidence of the French publishers,- who named me their representative at the Philadelphia Exhibition, and of the American publishers whom I represent in Paris, I look forward, in view of these relations, to largely increasing the business of exporta- tion and importation of French works on the one side and Ameri- can on the other. My efforts in Paris will be devoted to the supply of American in- formation and to the forwarding of orders, subscriptions, and adver- tisements, in regard to which I invite correspondence from American publishers whom I do not already represent ; and also to the exporta- tion of French publications and other productions connected with the trade, and to such further purposes for which a Paris agent will be of service to American publishers and purchasers.
