publisher sends hundreds of parcels addressed to members of the trade, which the agent sorts and divides around among the other commission houses. On the other hand he receives from other agents all the things addressed to his own constituents, packs them at stated times in larger packages, and forwards them according to the instructions he has received. Each of the smaller packages is simply tied up in papers, with the invoice on the outside showing the names of sender and addressee. Those addressed to cash dealers are marked "cash," or "C.O.D." as the American phrase is, and receipt ed on the billhead. The agent of the addressee pays for these, and the agent of the sender passes the money to his constituent's credit. The order upon which cash goods are sent is fastened to the billhead so that the agent of the addressee can satisfy himself that he is not receiving and paying for anything his constituent may not have ordered. The immense parcel express work growing out of this system is done by the porters of the commission houses, who deliver and receive several millions of parcels annually, with such accuracy that the loss of a parcel in Leipzig is almost an unheard-of thing. In the event of such an occurrence, the whole machinery of the Exchange Association is set in motion to find the lost article, and it is sure to be found in a very few days. It has generally been demonstrated that the delivery had been correctly made, but that the receiving agent had inadvertently forwarded to one of his constituents what was intended for another. There is, we believe, no case on record that a misdirected parcel was actually lost. This marvellous accuracy bespeaks both intelligence and extreme faithfulness as characteristic of the Leipzig porter. say, The correspondence which causes this immense movement of parcels, or grows out of errors in the invoices accompanying them, is something entirely peculiar to the German booktrade and deserves special mention. It is almost entirely open, carried on on little slips of paper 2 by 2 1-2 inches in size, having a printed heading saying, "A. B. demands of on which the blank is filled up with the addressee's name, and under it is simply written, 1 Bunsen's Hymns." This constitutes the order, which is not signed. If the book is sent on account, the slip is kept as a voucher. If for any reason the book is not sent, the slip travels back, and on it is written the reason, say, "out of print," or "please mark order cash." If the remark thus sent back calls for a rejoinder, that also is written on the same little slip, say, "why cash? you owe me money"; and thus the little slip often travels backward and forward half a dozen times, till it is hard to tell in what direction it is going, but nevertheless never misses the address; such is the clerical accuracy. These little slips, be they many or few, are sent by mail to the commission house by all its constituents, and are by it deposited in the Booksellers' Exchange post-office, where they are sorted and redelivered to the commission houses, four times daily. On lively days, from 50,000 to 60,000 slips, letters, circulars, or other written or printed communications pass through this department of the Booksellers' Exchange, and the annual delivery exceeds ten millions of documents. This immense service is done with wonderful accuracy, and absolutely without charge, the expense being borne by the Exchange Association for the benefit of the whole trade. The slips or other communications received by a commission house for its constituents are sorted and forwarded by mail, or by inclosure in parcels, nless they call for other action. If they are simply orders, and the constituent keeps stock of his publications in Leipzig, in charge of the commission house, the latter fills the order at once, making out invoice, and sending the parcel to the agent of the bookseller ordering, marking on the slip date of filling and price charged, and then forwarding the slip, from which the constituent makes his entries in his account books. books thus delivered by the commission house are marked off on the stock book. The The last work is simply clerical; all that has been mentioned before is purely in the nature of forwarding. But the commission house acts also in the capacity of a banker, either in paying cash on receiving parcels ordered for cash, or in making payments on account as the constituent may direct from time to time. These payments on account are made between the commission houses once a week in the Exchange building, pay lists being sent around the day before, so that every commission house knows what every other commission house is going to pay to all of its constituents. The consequence is, that only balances have to be provided for, and while considerable sums may thus be paid, but little money changes hands, each commission house deducting all it has to receive from all it has to pay. The pay lists are then mutually receipted, and constitute a voucher for all payments made. In very nearly the same manner proceeds the settlement of the annual accounts, which takes place in the Easter Fair. The fiscal year closes with the calendar year. Accounts are regulated by correspondence through the Exchange_postoffice between January and Easter. At Easter, such books as may have been received "for sale or return," and remained unsold, are returned to Leipzig and charged back. These return invoices are then deducted from the figures established by previous correspondence, and the balance is entered upon the pay-lists. A great many booksellers from all parts of Germany come personally to the Leipzig Easter Fair to make or renew acquaintance, to confer about new enterprises, to attend to the common business of the general meeting of the Exchange Association, or to regulate disputes. Many of these attend to their own payments in the Exchange building; but of late years has become more and more the practice to make out pay-lists for the commission house, which groups all the pay-lists of its constituents in one, and settles balances with the other commission houses just as on weekly clearing days. In order to avoid arbitrary delays in payment, the rule has been established that accounts which do not entirely agree are paid two-thirds during the Easter Fair, and the last third is settled after discrepancies have been smoothed out by further correspondence. This rule has been abused so that the creditor almost invariably received only two-thirds of his claim when due, and the balance from one to six months later. To remedy this, a practice has gradually grown up forbidding the carrying forward to new account, or to dispute account, any but specified items by special agreement. Since then nearly all accounts are fully paid at Easter. The relation of the commission house to its constituents, in the capacity of banker, is exactly like that of any other banker. Interest is allowed or charged on daily balances, as the case may be, the charge being generally one per cent. per annum more than the allowance. A small banker's commission is also charged, and the extent of credit, if any is allowed, is purely a matter of personal agreement. As a forwarder, the commission house receives an annual (very moderate) fixed salary, gauged by the probable extent of services to be performed, and the share these would represent of the expense account for rent, clerk hire, porterage, etc. This salary ranges all the way from $5 to $1,000. If the constituent keeps stock of his publications in Leipzig, he pays rent for storage-room to the commission house if the stock is kept on its premises. But larger publishers often rent warehouses of their own, placing them in charge of the commission house. The profit of the commission house accrues, however, mainly from the specific charges. The principal source of profit is the item of packing. Constituents are not allowed any price for the embaling material of packages sent to the commission house, whilst the latter charges at the rate of $1 per hundred weight for packing the bales it forwards. For boxes the same charge is made by weight, and the price of the box added. There is also a small additional charge for handling the packages between the office and the railroad. For the charge of the warehouses and the delivery of ordered books, remuneration is exacted either by a few cents for each package delivered, or by a percentage on the value delivered, which ranges from one per cent. to four per cent. Clearing expenses of the pay-lists are charged according to the number of entries on the pay-lists, in a round sum, ranging from $5 to $50. If the payments involve bankers' advances, these come, of course, under the established rules of the banking transactions. The organization we have sketched has its counterparts in several minor business centres, such as Berlin, Vienna, Stuttgardt, etc. But by far the greatest part of the German booksellers' business intercourse is through Leipzig, which is at once the emporium of all leading publishers, the centre of the forwarding business, the seat of all bibliographical and official trade information, and, in its Booksellers' Exchange, the universal clearing-house of all financial obligations of the fraternity. A little over two hundred years ago, the German book trade was a traffic of barter and exchange, whose centre was in Frankfort-on-the-Main, where publishers met and exchanged their publications, relying for re-imbursement of their outlay, on the sale to the public of the publications taken in exchange for their own. The world has bravely ad vanced since then. LITERARY AND TRADE GOSSIP. IN consequence of both the death of Mr. Scribner and the expiration of the limitation of partnership, the firm of Charles Scribner & Co. comes to an end this week, and from its ashes rises a new one, "Scribner, Armstrong & Co." It is pleasant to know that the admission of Mr. Blair Scribner prevents the elision of the old name from the first title. Mr. Armstrong has for the last twenty-five years been well known as a valuable member of the house. Mr. Arthur Peabody retires, and Mr. Seymour remains as partner in both the American and English branches. The name of the latter is changed from Scribner, Welford & Co., to Scribner, Welford & Armstrong. This house will publish in March George MacDonald's "Within and Without ;" one of the illustrated volumes of Travel and Adventure, "Arabia," by Bayard Taylor; the third volume of Curtius's "History of Greece ;" a book of sermons by Dr. Nott; a new book of Poems, edited by Dr. Bellows; and an addition to the Library of Wonders in the shape of a volume on "Electricity."-Evening Post. THE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY, of Boston, a year ago withdrew from its position as a bookselling. house, and leased its plates to the Riverside Press. It is a gratifying fact that the experiment has already proved a success. The royalty paid by the publishing house to the Tract Society has paid the current expenses of the Society. Whatever, therefore, is given to the Society is applied directly to the distribution of religious literature, without any commission for expense of distribution. Moreover, the three papers published by the Society, the "Christian Banner," "Child at Home," and "Apples of Gold," are self-supporting, and yield a profit. They have increased in circulation, and can be placed, without fear of comparison, beside any similar publications in the country. Those who are acquainted with the history of religious publishing societies will note the significance of these facts. They solve the problem which has vexed the church.-Riverside Bulletin. THE CATHOLIC PUBLICATION SOCIETY have issued a volume of Lenten Sermons preached by Father Paul Segneri, an eminent member of the Society of Jesus who flourished in the seventeenth century. This volume contains fourteen sermons selected from the "Quaresimale," or course of forty sermons for Lent, orignally published in Florence in 1679. If this volume meets with favor, it will be followed by others. The power, spirituality and directness of these sermons is undeniable, and they are excellent reading of the kind for Christians of all sects. GEORGE M. BAKER.-The best writer of dialogues for young folks, such as are adapted for avrage families and schools, says the Watchman and Reflector, is George M. Baker, of Boston; he has already published three volumes severally enDrama" and "Social Stage," each containing a titled, "The Mimic Stage," "The Amateur good collection of dialogues in great variety. His next venture will be "A Baker's Dozen," a book to contain thirteen dialogues which have appeared from time to time in Oliver Optic's Magazine, the best of all the juvenile monthlies. CORNELL'S GEOGRAPHIES (Appleton) have been adopted for the important cities of Washington, D. C., and Oswego. One of the best features of Cornell's books is that they keep pace with the various geographical changes occurring throughout the world-they are always up to date. THE LOST HEIR OF LINLITHGOW is the name of Mrs. Emma D. E. N. Southworth's new novel, now in press, and to be published in a few days by T. B.

CHURCHILL have concluded an arrangement with Lindsay & Blakiston, of Philadelphia, whereby that firm will act as their agents for the United States, keeping most of their books in stock, and reprinting others on terms advantageous to authors. The Medical Intelligencer, No. 20, containing a list of their books issued in 1871, will be supplied, on application, by L. & B. DUNGLISON'S HISTORY OF MEDICINE (Lindsay & Blakiston). The proposed publication of a posthumous work of the late distinguished author and teacher, Prof. Robley Dunglison, must be a matter of general interest to the profession to whose advancement he devoted so many years of his valuable life. It will be issued in a small octavo volume of about 250 pages, printed on tinted paper, handsomely bound in cloth, beveled boards. The price to subscribers will be $2.50. 162 NEW YORK CITY.-Mr. F. B.

WILLIAM CHAMBERS has nearly ready for publication a memoir of his brother, Dr. Robert Chambers. BOOK-NOTES. The Moral of Accidents and other Discourses is the title of a collection of twelve sermons, which were written, together with introductory and closing prayers, by the late Rev. Thomas T. Lynch, of London, to be read before his congregation while his intense suffering from a disease of the heart forbade his personal presence at evening service. The history of their writing would make them interesting if their intrinsic merit did not. It is stated that while at his desk the author would often be seized with such agonizing pains as to be compelled to fling himself on the floor for rest. Before the prayers for the twelfth sermon could be written, the hand of the writer was stilled by death. The work is edited by Samuel Cox, and published by George Routledge & Sons, in excellent style. Keeping Open House is a book for children, by LORD STANLEY, of Alderley, is preparing a translation of "As Pupillas do Senhor Reitor," by Mary W. McLain, published by Mallory & Co.

Leaves from the Book of Nature is one of those remarkably interesting works of M. Schele De Vere, and scarcely needs other description. It tells of some of the extraordinary phases of nature in that bright, vivacious style which now is so popular: of pebbles, of the ocean, of volcanoes, of glaciers, of fishes, of plants, of the unknown tongues of animals, of a trip to the moon and the wonderful things there discovered. Sons publish a new edition of the book in quite neat shape, with a light sprinkling of small illustrative cuts. book leaves nothing to be desired. Putnam & Gesta Romanorum is the attractive title of a collection of quaint stories, with morals, which, it is supposed, the monks of old invented and applied in religious teachings. The translation is by Rev. Charles Swan, and the present edition has an introduction by Thomas Wright, Esq., tracing the origin and development of romantic fiction, and showing that the greatest of our poets have drawn from these tales in many of their finest writings. It is issued in two volumes by J. W. Bouton. JOURNALISTIC. The Gazette des Beaux Arts for January is an uncommonly interesting number. The opening article, chapter XI. of Charles Blanc's "Grammaire des Arts Décoratifs," which is a continuation of his well known and highly esteemed "Grammaire des Arts du Dessin," is devoted to a discussion of the dress of the lady of to-day. We have, says the Nation, read nothing on the subject anywhere else so philosophical as this, and its philosophy in no way hinders its being delightful reading, both for those who enjoy seeing a woman charmingly dressed, and who do not mind understanding why the dress pleases in itself apart from the wearer, and for those women who enjoy being well dressed, and feel that they are so, yet are not unwilling to be taught a reason for the faith that is in them. To our thinking, Charles Blanc's style is admirable every way. M. MERY, the French journalist and writer, has founded at Rome a new publication, entitled L'Espérance de Rome, which numbers among its contributors Père Hyacinthe, Dr. Döllinger, and other leading writers, and is intended to be the organ of the Old Catholic party. A new weekly journal was brought out in Vienna on the 1st of January, under the title of the Allgemeine Kunst Zeitung. It is edited by G. Gutten'berg and B. Goldschneider, assisted by many firstrate artists, and publishes an art supplement, with illustrations of the works of living artists. The new Paris paper, Le Dix-Neuvième Siècle, which "aspires to be the Times of France," will number among its contributors M. Gustave Chaudel, rédacteur-en-chef, and MM. F. Sarcey, A. Assolant, A. Karr, V. Sardou, E. Berkel, and Erckmann-Chatrian. Von den Küsten und aus der See is the name of a new organ of the German society for saving life from shipwrecks. It will be published by W. Heinsius at Bremen, and edited by Dr. A. H. Schumacher, secretary-general of the society. Every Other Week is the name of a new and popular Baptist newspaper, to be published every Saturday by E. Bright & Co., the proprietors of the Examiner and Chronicle, 39 Park Row, New York, at the low price of 50 cents per annum. At Leipzig, the Neue Zeit, a new weekly for the drama, arts, and sciences, conducted by Franz Deutschinger. It is also to be the official organ of the German Association of Dramatic Authors and Composers. The Fifth Avenue Journal, a weekly mirror of art, literature, and society, will make its first appearance on February 28. Price 10 cents per number. The Representative and Tea Trade Journal is the title of a weekly publication issued by Messrs. J. Binks & Co., Liverpool. WORKS OF ART. SARONY & Co. have just issued cartes and imperials of Buffalo Bill, Mr. and Mrs. Ainslee Cook, and Mr. Castle.

Price each, $1. They also have received "Mother and Child," a new photograph by England, colored by Jas. Wilson, jr. Price, $5. The beautiful new chromo, "The Old Homestead," mentioned in our last number, is one of Anthony's own publications. CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHY.-As a proof to what chromo-lithography has advanced, we may mention, says a contemporary, the copies in lithography of Charles Werner's pictures of the Nile, taken on the spot on a journey through Egypt; these copies in chromo are from the ateliers of Herr Seitz, of Berlin. (Imported by Roberts Bros.) The Artist Society of Düsseldorf, which counts amongst its numbers some of the most eminent German painters, and which, until now, has never much countenanced copies of whatever kind, has sent to Mr. Seitz a highly complimentary letter, congratulating him upon this triumph of his art.
