Colman, Inness, Wm. Hart, De Haas, Jas. M. Hart, Wm. H. Beard, Hubbard, G. L. Brown, Thos. Hill, J. D. Smillie, G. H. Smillie, and Momberger.

Next in importance to this was their volume of engravings illustrating the masterpieces of the Flemish and Dutch schools of painting; and during the year they have succeeded in introducing, most successfully, the new London journal of art, "Art, Pictorial and Industrial," for which they are sole agents here.

Mr. Wm. Schaus imported a great variety of the best English, French and German prints, made or completed during the year, and published, himself, a large photograph, from a crayon drawing by Arthur Lumley, a fancy head, entitled "What is My Love Like ?"

Mr. John Snedicor's most noticeable publishing enterprise of the year was a photograph of Jas. M. Hart's fine painting, "Under the Elms." The photograph is a large one, made here, but colored in England. The result is a very satisfactory facsimile. Mr. S. also published a chromo of J. G. Brown's picture, entitled "Welcome," a pleasing genre. And among his minor publications we may note cartes-de-visite of the eminent composers, poets, musicians and painters.

The largest business with us, in importing foreign reproductions of works of art, is doubtless done by Messrs. Stroeffer & Kirchner, 859 Broadway, whose relations are such abroad that they publish here simultaneously with the foreign edítions, besides publishing series of works gotten up with especial regard to the demands of American taste. Their importations of the past year are so multitudinous that to review them all would not be possible within our limits; but we can note the more important and more recent. Chief among these, perhaps, is the portfolio of photographs of "Our Great Composers," embracing twelve large heads, taken from paintings in "gray and gray," made specially for reproduction by Professor C. Jager. These are bold and masterly in effect, and admirably reproduced. The " Meyer Von Bremen Gallery" is another of the year's important publications. This portfolio contains twenty large photographs of the artist's most famous paintings. These are of great interest and beauty, but little being lost in the reproduction, in black and white, of that which goes farthest to make Von Bremen's works so popular-the stories of them. Other portfolio editions of noticable importance are "The Goethe Gallery," being from the celebrated designs of Kaulbach, "The Schiller Gallery," and photographs of the famous drawings of Leonardi Da Vinci, twelve in number, illustrating the life of Christ. The collection of loose photographs of this house is so large that we can only refer to them in round numbers. It comprises the publications of "The Berlin Photographic Company," who have printed the largest work-"Republican "-ever produced; the publications of F. Bruckmann, of Munich, comprising one hundred subjects; those of E. Milster, of Berlin, embracing copies of the works of the leading German and French artists, including Hoff, Vautier, Knaus, Kraus, Gerome, Meissonier, Diffenbach, Carl Becker, Andreas and Oswald Achenbach, Cabanel, Stammel, Siegert; in fact, of the works of nearly every artist of rank now painting. There are also photographs from the drawings made from the famous religious paintings of the old masters, published on the other side, by H. Harfstangl, of Dresden.

A noticeable feature of the year, also, was the introduction by this house of the chromo fac-similes of Hildebrandt's water-color illustrations of his voyage "All Around the World." These are

twenty in number, and excellently made-attractive as examples of able reproduction, and highly interesting in subject.

Of the fine-art books of Stroeffer & Kirchner it may not be inappropriate to say a word here. Many of these are of great beauty, and rank fairly with works of art. Among these we place unhesitatingly Goethe's "Reynard the Fox," with illustrations from the cartoons of Kaulbach; "The Monuments of Art," a new edition, embracing 154 plates of outline steel engraving; "The Song of the Bell," illustrations by Professors Jager and Mueller; "The Schiller Gallery, illustrations after Kaulbach; "The Female Characters of Goethe," after designs by the same. Two recently published engravings by this house, Freidereke" (Truth and Fiction), after Kaulbach, and a full-length figure of Mozart, from a painting by Fr. Schwoerer, are the most noticeable productions of this character.

But we have only touched upon the resources of this unique depository of the "shadows" of the good things our men of genius are making all the world over. And here we must bring to a close our brief and, no doubt, imperfect review of the art publications of 1871, hoping to do surer justice in our review of the publications of 1872, since we shall have a clear and complete record before us in our own columns to enable us to sum up satisfactorily, omitting nothing of which the public should be advised as worthy of their attention.

The To-Morrow of Death." Reader, you must die. What will you be, O reader, on the to-morrow of your death?" This is the startling beginning and the motive of "The Tomorrow of Death," an attempt "to apply the exact sciences to the study of the great questions of a man's fate after death," by Louis Figuier, author of the widely-popular works on the early history of the earth and of man. "It is not petroleum," he says, "which set fire to the monuments of Parisit is materialism"; and he proposes a scientific combat with this denial of immortality. Man is the result of the triple alliance of the Body, the Life, and the Soul, the latter alone imperishable. The soul is imraortal; it lives in the ether (possibly rarified hydrogen) which rises above the atmosphere of our and other worlds, and which fills the interplanetary space. A gross soul, not sufficiently purified to live in this ether, must pass through other bodies and become sublimated before it can rise to the superhuman. And our souls proceed by development from those of the higher animals. The superhuman being can communicate with man, as we know from dreams and manifestations; he has no need to eat, and knows not Time. Other planets are inhabited like ours, and the superhuman beings from all the worlds of our system go on and on until they reach at last the sun, the perfect

home, whose flames are fed by the souls of the finally blessed. God reigns in the absolute centre of the Universe itself, holding and directing all. Such is a brief epitome of the views of this remarkable work of the imagination. It will be observed to be peculiarly French in theory, method, and style. Mr. S. R. Crocker, of the Literary World, has translated it with strict adherence to the author's diction, and Roberts Bros. are to publish it this week. It is illustrated with some astronomical

views.

Salted with Fire is the title of a novel by H. M. Le Grange, shortly to be published by E. J. Hale & Son. A daughter of a haughty English house, reduced to become a governess, marries a noble-hearted lover, while her heart is given to another who had been entrapped into a marriage years before, and whose wife is still alive. This novel is her autobiography, and the record of her

death from a broken heart.

Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada, by Clarence King, is a bracing, live book that should be almost as refreshing as a Turkish bath! The mountain fever is the most glorious disease a-going, and it is "catching" from this book. Mr. King has published many of the chapters of this book as contributions to the Atlantic, and all its readers have recognized their freshness and glow. The magnificent word-painting, the keen sympathy with Nature, and the overflowing animation of his descriptions of nature on such glorious far-west mountains as Mounts Tyndall and Shasta, the adventurous dash of the brave Kaweah's run, the humor with which he describes wayside Pikes and other originals of that rude country-all are worthy his grand subject. There ought to be few Americans who will not be kindled to enthusiasm by Mr. King's book-its matter and its manner. Jas. R. Osgood & Co. publish it Saturday, the 17th.

Dead Men's Shoes is the title of a romance by Jeannette R. Haderman, author of "Forgiven at Last," which J. B. Lippincott & Co. will shortly publish. It is a novel of Southern life, the scene being laid for the most part in a Louisiana plantation. The story has much local coloring, and the plot is full of incident, tracing the life-stories of three sisters, not unlike the Cinderella family.

The Agreement of Science and Revelation is the title of the latest work on a subject now uppermost in the field of discussion, by Rev. Jos. H. Wythe, M.D. The author defines it in his preface as "an attempt to exhibit in brief compass the true relations and harmony of Nature and Revela

tion, by presenting some of the analogies between the truths of the supernatural world and the researches of history, astronomy, geology, and physiology. It claims that Science and Faith mutually support each other; that the many-colored coat of infidelity is a patchwork taken from an effete and unscientific heathenism; that the Bible is a record of the original faith of mankind and of its develop ment in history; that the principles of biblical interpretation must be based on the modes of Divine revelation; and that the biblical doctrines concerning God, the creation, the human soul, the need of a Mediator, the faith faculty, and the resurrection of the dead, are in perfect accordance with true science." This is a very fair abstract of its aims and contents. It is written from the scientific point of view and in scientific language, with a view, however, to popular use. J. B. Lippincott & Co. have it nearly ready for publication.

GMELIN-KRANT's Handbuch der Chemie, in its last part deals most exhaustively with thalium, lead, and iron.

LITERARY AND TRADE GOSSIP.

THE lectures on matrimony, which Rev. Morgan Dix, D.D., rector of Trinity Parish, is now engaged in delivering at Trinity Chapel, are to be published by Pott, Young & Co., under the title of "The Two Estates; that of the Wedded in the Lord, and that of the Single for the Kingdom of Heaven's Sake." The book, which is likely to attract much attention, will scarcely be ready before the end of March. About the same time will be published "Studies in Church," by Bishop Lay, based on his letters to the Churchman.

THE next to be issued of the Schwartz novels, "Two Family Mothers," is said to surpass any of its predecessors.

A NEW American novel, by Miss Sarah E. Emory, of Newburyport, Mass., is to be published by and by, by Lee & Shepard.

THE old firm of James Munroe & Co., Boston, reprinted, in 1858, in one volume, the sermons by James Martineau, "Endeavors after the Christian Life," the original two volumes of which were published respectively in 1843 and 1847. They are of perennial freshness, and, to quote an enthusiastic admirer of this great preacher, "certainly among the greatest and best, if not the greatest and best, sermons ever published, containing the thoughts of a philosopher, the authority of a prophet, the vision of a poet, the tenderness of a mother, the devoutness of a saint, and their style perfectly suits the majesty and beauty of their ideas. They are a part of that scanty but noblest religious literature which is not addressed to a sect, but to the conscience, reason and will of all mankind." A new edition of them, revised by the writer, is to be published by Lee & Shepard in the spring. They are also to take the two volumes of his Philosophical and Theological Essays" (formerly published by W. V. Spencer), and will probably add one or two new volumes in the fall. "These essays belong to the works by which the world is educated."

ANOTHER series of important works, published by W. V. Spencer, was the four volumes of John Stuart Mill's "Dissertations and Discussions." There are also in the hands of Lee & Shepard, who are to issue two new volumes containing his later essays from the Fortnightly Review and other English periodicals, including those on the Tenure of Land, Education, Church Disestablishment, and like subjects.

ready for, or passing through, the press of Lee & SOME important religious books are almost Shepard. Professor Townsend's (the author of "Creeds ") "God-Man" has extended itself, in the process of writing, to two volumes, the first in "Search and Manifestation," the seeking by mankind for a deliverer of the nations and the Divine and Harmony," on the conflicts of men as to his manifestation in Jesus Christ; the second, "Strife person and mission and the unity of faith which is to Ex-President Hickok, of Union College (now of Amherst), has two new volumes, one of which, "Creation and the Creator," is likely to appear next month.

come at last.

AMONG books, not otherwise mentioned, to be published this spring by Lee & Shepard, are Vose's extensive and important work on Railroads (in April, probably); a new edition of "Youatt on the Horse;" a second volume of Professor L. B. Monroe's "Public and Parlor Readings ;" and an edition of Rev. J. G. Wood's finely illustrated popular works in natural history, "Strange Dwellings."

THE National Temperance Society, organized in 1866, has in these few years not only printed regu. larly the National Temperance Advocate and the Youth's Temperance Banner, which latter monthly now circulates 130,000 copies, but has also stereotyped and published forty-five bound volumes, of which thirty-four have been for Sunday-school libraries, issued only after having been unanimously approved by a committee of eleven, representing the several evangelical denominations, and nearly two hundred pamphlets and tracts. Over one hundred millions of pages have thus been printed and scattered broadcast over the country in the interest of this good cause. The Society now appeals for aid, through its publishing agent, Mr. J. N. Stearns.

IN the current issue of the monthly Bulletin of D. Appleton & Co., which Mr. O. B. Bunce looks after very cleverly, the editor crosses swords with the Golden Age, which has lately been lamenting a supposed dullness of the trade, and crediting it to the poor quality of books issued. He fears that the Golden Age has given " a bushel of reasons for things that do not exist," and rather thinks that "the dullness of trade has been mainly the dullness of trash." "As regards poor books, the publishers' lists were never better than of late years. Compare the books published twenty years ago with those of the present. In fact, there is almost a revolution in literary tas'e. The demand for books of investigation, especially in a scientific direction, has been remarkable; and we have seen a book of research, like Darwin's, become more read and talked about than the most popular novel." He denies the hindrance of periodicals: "the magazine and the newspaper simply make books necessary" by pioneering the way. He has also a discussion worth attention as to the principles of ad

vertising, referring to the burden upon the publisher of gratuitous press copies, which sometimes take a fifth of the edition, and noting that "the public have the fashion of buying books with singular independence of press commendations." He says further, that it is well to advertise with, but never against the popular current.

which he was best known.

HISTORY OF SLAVERY.-Senator Wilson's large work-"The Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America"-is to be published in three volumes by Osgood & Co., the first one appearing early in the present year. It was originally designed that this volume should be published on New Year's day, the second on the 1st of January, 1873, and the third on the same date, 1874. Each volume will contain about 46 chapters, of an average length of 15 pages, or about 690 pages to each of the three. This work was begun in 1868, and the Senator has completed nearly two volumes. The first begins with the landing of the first African slaves and follows the events flowing therefrom down to the passage of the Missouri compromise. The second proceeds until the repeal of that compromise and the passage of the Kansas and Nebraska act, and the third gives the events that followed down to the attack on Fort Sumter. Mr. Wilson may add a fourth volume, but the three he has set out to write cover his present design.

"THE NEW YORK HERALD ALMANAC and Financial and Commercial Register for 1872," compiled by R. W. Bligh, has among its numerous contents, besides the usual almanac matter, of which it has more than than its share, full lists of the government personnel; quotations of governments and leading railroad securities for every day of 1871; a full postal guide, including lists of the foreign money offices; the agricultural statistics : a list of missing heirs, for the past thirty-five years, from the Herald files; election statistics; a full chronological record for 1871; list of the yachts of all the clubs, etc., etc.

JAS. R. OSGOOD & Co. promise for the 17th of this month, "Kate Beaumont," " Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada," and "Yesterdays with AuBeaumont," says the Tribune, is the best novel of thors," ," three thoroughly delightful books. "Kate J. W. DeForest; and it was received, in its serial passage through last year's Atlantic, with such accorded to an American story.

other volumes for this month will be Hawthorne's "French and Italian Journals," two volumes; THE usual quickening demand for his works, Ticknor's "Spanish Literature," three volumes occonsequent on an author's death, has been noticea- tavo; and Drake's "Dictionary of American Bioble in the case of those of the late Henry T. Tuck-graphy"-all three of which are promised for Saterman, especially his "Book of the Artists," by urday, Feb. 24. The "Biographical Dictionary will contain nearly 10,000 notices of remarkable persons, of both native and foreign birth, who have been prominently connected with the arts, sciences, literature, politics, or history of the American Continent. For publication in March, Osgood & Co. have in hand Sir Charles Eastlake's two books, "Hints on Household Taste," and the "History of the Gothic Revival in England," both very handsomely illustrated.

JULIAN HAWTHORNE, son of the New England thought-wizard, is said to be at work on his first novel. Its scene is laid among the Berkshire hills. This young writer has already made himself a reputation by his short tales, largely printed in Appletons' Journal, some of which are a good deal in his father's vein.

A SERIES of papers-personal, historical, and descriptive on the publishing houses of New York is being prepared for the Louisville CourierJournal by Mr. Chas. F. Wingate (the "Carlfried" of the Springfield Republican). The description of the Appleton establishment and personnel has already been printed, and is most complete, accurate, and interesting, Some one has been doing a similar work for the Boston Post.

MRS. FRANCIS GERRY FAIRFIELD'S work, "The Native Building Material of the United States," of which we spoke, is to be in two parts: the first volume devoted to the marbles, granites, and other stones of the country; the other to the forest woods of native growth commonly used or suitable for architectural purposes. The work promises to meet a want, and is, we understand, the fruit of five or six years' research.

THOS. NELSON & SONS, in their "Royal School Series," are rapidly issuing a course of Educational Works which bids fair to take a very high position in the educational world. They have added to it a series of Reading Books, embracing complete plays from Shakespeare, Milton's Poems, and Scott's Poems. Each of these volumes is accompanied with copious notes, which are of very great assistance to the teacher, and at the same time interesting to the pupil. Messrs. Nelson have also included in this series a new French Class Book, by M. Dejardin, which has the novel feature of being a cabulary of all the words and idioms used in the Reader at the same time, accompanied by a full vo

work.

PORTER & COATES, Philadelphia, have bought the plates and stock of Woodruff's "Trotting Horse

of America," and will shortly issue a new revised edition, with additions by the former editor, Chas. J. Foster.

JUNE ON THE MIAMI, and other poems, is the title of a charming little volume of verses by H. W. Venable of Cincinnati. Most of these poems have already appeared in the Liberal Christian, and have been much admired and widely copied. June on the Miami" is new. It is the longest and best finished of the poems. As its title suggests, it is a glowing description of the beauties of a June day in the valley of the Miami, the Arno of Southern Ohio. The author displays great skill in word painting

and a warm love of Nature. His reflections are always pretty and natural, and his experiences singularly well-chosen. The book is gotten up in tasteful style, and fully equal in elegance to the best book-making of the East. R. W. Carroll & Co., Cincinnati, are the publishers.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL, in accordance with the recommendations of the post-office committees, executed a contract with the Williams & Guion steamship line for carrying the Wednesday mail from New York to Liverpool and Queenstown for two years from January 1, 1872, at the rate of compensation prescribed by law.
