does to an outside demand for the talent we have concentrated here.

In an "extra," the publisher recently issued a remarkable address of the Jew, Rabbi B. Felsenthal, resident here, to a Christian audience in the city, the address being one of a series of religious discourses conducted under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Union. His subject was "The Wandering Jew," and the address was not only characterized by breadth of scholarship, but remarkable in its display of charity and a catholic moderation. It is to be hoped that it may meet with a wide circulation among the various denominations of Christian people here as well as abroad, for it is remarkable as a "sign of the times " CHAS. GARDNER.

ADVANCE BOOK-NOTES.

[This department, a new feature in trade journalism, which it is hoped will prove of great import. ance to the trade, is intended to include descriptive notices, from advance sheets, of all books of popular sale to be published in the week succeeding the respective issues of the TRADE CIRCULAR. Booksellers will thus be enabled to order knowingly and confidently on books likely to sell well in their localities, and to obtain such information as to the character of new publications as will "post" them for calling the attention of particular customers to books likely to suit their taste. Advance sheets for use in this department should be forwarded by publishers two weeks before publication, if possible, or at earliest convenient date.-ED.]

first in Jas. R. Osgood's list of forthcoming. books. Hawthorne was a traveller, who saw and thought as few are gifted to do, and these notebooks of travel are delicious. The fact that it was the scene of one of his greatest romances, lends peculiar attraction to his thoughts about and in Rome, but the record of his journeyings elsewhere in sunny Italy and through France are of themselves not less interesting. 'Eyes that never failed to see everything before him with the keenest apprehension," says his wife, who edited the book-and a pen, we may add, that never failed to lend the reader those eyes! Hawthorne's descriptions of pictures and his reports of his intercourse with the many noted people who of course sought his acquaintance, will also delight the general public. Among those of whom we hear through him are Gibson, the sculptor, Story, Akers, Mrs. Jameson, Frederika Bremer, Hiram Powers, the Brownings, President Pierce, Miss Hosmer, and others of a glorious company.

A Church History of the first seven centuries, to the close of the Sixth General Council, is the posthumous work of Milo Mahan, D.D,, Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the General Theological Seminary. It is a continuous, well-written, and by no means dry résumé of the history of the Christian church in its genesis and extension up to the year 700. Though written by an Episcopalian, the book is of value through all denominations, for not only is it written with excellent impartiality, but it follows the course of a period before the present denominational lines were drawn. The first three books are a reprint from an earlier edition, the other two were left by the author preRev. J. H. Hopkins, Jr., has been in continuing pared for the press, and the work of the editor, which prefaces the work, and in adding a full and the very useful chronological table of church events valuable index. The book ought to sell well among clergymen and in the locations of theological seminaries; it will be issued immediately by Pott,

A Dictionary of American Biography. Mr. Francis S. Drake (son of the well-known biographical writer, Samuel G. Drake) has been engaged for a series of years in the compilation of a comprehensive cyclopædia of American biography, and the work may be expected from James R. Osgood & Co. this or next week. Its aim is to present brief, condensed, but accurate and complete notices of the main facts in the lives of those Americans (in-Young & Co., in 8vo, pp. 450. $4.00. cluding not only America, as we of the United States practically define it, but other parts of North America and the Southern continent as well) who have attained sufficient importance to be of public interest, in any rank or profession. "Literature, art, science, invention, achievement, the army and navy, medicine, the bar, the pulpit, the editorial chair, adventure are but some of the spheres herein represented. The work covers more than a thousand double-columned octavo pages, and seems very complete, and likely to stand most satisfactorily the only real text of a work of the sort-use. We may give, as a specimen of its contents and method, the following:

The Theory and Use of the Church Calendar in the measurement and distribution of time, by Rev. Prof. Samuel Seabury, D.D., is scarcely more a religious work than a valuable and most interesting general treatise on the calendar, and a history of the divisions of time in general. The first part summarizes the Egyptian, Hebrew, Roman, etc., systems, and explains the reason and character of the change from Old to New Style. The latter chapters have to do with the Golden Numbers, Dominical Letters, Epacts, etc. It is very readably written. Pott, Young & Co. will publish it, in octavo, 300 pp., the beginning of next week.

The New Edition of Dickens.-We gave a description some weeks since of the new edition of Dickens, which the Harpers were to issue, after the style of the English popular edition, which has sold by the hundred thousand there. "Oliver Twist," the first issue of the series, is now ready, and will be published in a few days, with reproductions of the twenty-eight new illustrations, by J. Mahoney. It is in large octavo, double columned page, clear type, and, selling at fifty cents, is likely to be widely popular, and sell to the extent of its English prototype. The cover design, with illustrations of Dickens's most famous characters in the margin, attracts the eye at once.

NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF FORT GEORGE, by B. De Costa (J. Sabin & Sons). — The fragments embodied in this sketch were, for the greater part, accumulated by the writer while engaged in preparing a popular work on Lake George. They are now given in a separate and permanent form, not as constituting anything like a complete history, but rather as interesting materials affording some fresh illustrations of the annals of one of the most beautiful and celebrated localities in our land. These gleanings have come from every source accessible to the compiler, and include nearly everything of interest that he has found in connection with the history of Fort George. Many of the documents thus embodied appear in print for the first time, being transcripts from the original MSS. Ready April 1st.

THE superb editions of Longfellow's Dante, Bryant's Homer, and Taylor's Goethe's "Faust," issued by the house which is now Jas. R. Osgood & Co., have been among the greatest triumphs of the publishers' art the world over, and might fitly challenge comparison with any productions of our English friends. The setting of these works was worthy their contents, and this is enough said. We are glad to learn that Virgil's Eneid, the flower of Roman literature, is to be added to the series in the fall. Mr. C. P. Cranch is the translator, and he has already placed his manuscript in the publisher's hands. He is said to be a Latin scholar of fine abilities and culture, and we hear that his translation of the Eneid has been pronounced by some of our first critics and scholars worthy to rank with those which have preceded it. RUMOR has it that the manners and customs of New York society are to be thoroughly discussed in a voluminous posthumous work of the pianist Gottschalk, on that subject, now in possession of the Emperor of Brazil, and shortly to be published under his auspices.

THE biography of the Great Edinburgh publishers, the Chambers, has been hailed by the English journals as at once one of the most entertaining and valuable books of the year. The work is a memoir of Robert Chambers, lately deceased, by his brother William, with autobiographic reminiscences of the latter. It is to be reprinted here immediately by Scribner, Armstrong & Co.

"What I Know about Polygamy," and " runaway wives, broken hearts and lunacy, marriage to three sisters at once-all sorts of horrors are detailed at length for the exasperation of the Mormons, and the in

OBITUARY, MCCARTER.-Died at Columbia, S. C., on the 17th inst., James J. McCarter, in the seventysecond year of his age.

Mr. McCarter was a native of New Jersey, and had his education as a bookseller with Peter A. Johnson of Morristown. More than forty years ago he removed to Charleston, S. C., and entered into the business on his own account, conducting it with uninterrupted success until the disorganization consequent to the Rebellion. He had early anticipated the outbreak of the war, and with wise foresight made such disposition of his property that he paid all his obligations and found himself, on the return of peace, in independent circumstances. His whole business life, whether in his own name simply, or as a partner in the firms of McCarter & Allen and McCarter & Dawson, of Charleston, and Bryan & McCarter of Columbia, was remarkable for the skill, industry, and integrity with which it was conducted. As a citizen of South Carolina he was faithful to his convictions of his political duties, and had the respect and esteem even of those who differed from him in opinion. He represented his district in the State Legislature, where his shrewdness and honesty made his services valuable. As a man he was benevolent and kind-hearted, warmly attached to his family and old friends, always ready to put himself to inconvenience to serve oth

ers.

He will be missed by a large circle at the North, where he generally spent his summers, to whom his kindness had endeared him, who took pleasure in his varied information and ready and original conversation, and who respected his honesty and worth.

ROBERT STOLlberg.

It is less than a month since, on the retirement et Mr. William Schaus, and the organization, by Messrs. Robert Stollberg, J. Richard, and John Clements, of the new firm which succeeded him, that the gentleman first-named became the head of a house whose foremost reputation his work as managing salesman for many years had so largely aided to make. Hosts of friends in our finest circles, who had first made acquaintance with Mr. Stollberg through their business transactions, were glad of his success, and more mourn his death, which occurred, the result of a severe pneumonia, at his residence 417 West Fifty-fourth street, on Sunday morning. Mr. Stollberg was a most genial, courteous gentleman and an able business man, and his associates in the trade sympathize most deeply with those more closely bereaved at his sudden loss. The funeral took place from his residence on Tuesday.

THE LATE MR. JOSEPH GILLOTT.

(From the London Stationer.)

IN our obituary columns last month we briefly recorded the death of Mr. Joseph Gillott, a gentleman who had by industry, tact, and talent achieved a world-wide reputation; and we now give a more lengthy notice, believing that it will be appreciated by our readers, every one of whom has probably been a consumer of or dealer in his manufactures.

Mr. Gillott was born at Sheffield. His parents being in humble circumstances, he was at an early age sent to learn the trade of a knife and general cutlery grinder, which pursuit he followed for some years. At the age of 17 or 18 he went to Birmingham, taking with him his grinding implements, with which he carried on the trade for a year or two

longer, making the acquaintance of Miss Mitchell, sister to Messrs. John and William Mitchell, father and uncle to the present steel pen manufacturers of that name; he shortly after married her. The union was fortunate, for Mrs. Gillott was a great help to her husband in the business of penmaking, to which he soon turned his attention. It has been claimed that the very first metallic pens were manufactured by him; but this is disputed, and the matter is involved in doubt. He was undoubtedly one of the pioneers in the manufacture, and was the first to contrive and perfect a series of beautiful tools, for which he procured patents, and by which he laid the foundation of the splendid reputation and fortune which has made the name of Gillott famous. At first he worked in a very hum

each.

Steel

ble way, forging, filing, and grinding the small barrel pens, first introduced with the tools which he had used as a cutlery grinder. He then contrived one or two good presses and rolling machines, and as both he and his wife worked day and night, and as he not only made, but vigorously pushed them into public notice, his business quickly increased. His operations were at first conducted in comparative secresy, and he took some trouble to burrow. under the ground of his domicile a humble workshop, in order to bury his surplus iron-the waste which was punched out-and which he had not learned to utilize. We may note here that penmaking in those days was remunerative. pens were sold as high as 20s. a dozen, and for some time afterwards wholesale at 20s. a gross. Mr. Gillott is said once to have made a gross of pens in one day, for which he received one shilling At the present time some of the lowest qualities can be manufactured at 6d. a gross, or a halfpenny a dozen. In a few years he removed house and shop into Little Charles street, thence into Newhall street. He had now greatly extended his mechanical appliances, and began to employ a considerable number of workpeople of both sexes. He then bought the freehold of the present spacious and splendid factory at the corner of Graham street and Newhall Hill. Here he removed, with his greatly enlarged and extensive plant, about thirtysix years ago, and his business operations have since gone on gradually extending till, at the time of his death, he had the largest steel pen manufactory in the world, and employed several hundred workpeople, the majority of whom are females. Mrs. Gillott, who had proved such a true and worthy helpmate for him in his early struggles, died about fifteen years ago, leaving him a family of six sons and three daughters, of whom two sons have since died. When Mr. Gillott left Newhall street, he fixed his residence at Candlestick Hall, Hagley Road, and about fifteen years ago he removed to the spacious mansion and art galleries on the Westbourne Road, where he died. For many years Mr. Gillott was a munificent patron of art, and either intuitively, or with assistance from those in the profession, he was enabled to detect rising genius, and to possess himself of many masterpieces of the modern school of painters, both British and foreign. Several authentic anecdotes are told of the extent to which he gratified his penchant for accumulating art treasures, and of the commissions which he gave to the most celebrated painters of the day. He had probably one of the finest private collections in the world, and it includes one or two of the best works which have been produced within the last quarter of a century. It is stated that Mr. Gillott spent a fabulous sum of money in the purchase of pictures. He had also a strong passion for acquiring violoncellos, and, regardless of cost, he possessed himself of a number of splendid instruments. As may be supposed, his wealth was

not invested solely in these personal treasures. He purchased several large estates, among others one at Ladywood, another at Stanmore, and the Rotton Park estate of 500 acres, the cost of which was about £90,000, and was also the owner of other property. He presented the site of St. Augustine's Church, on the Hagley Road, Birmingham, and also contributed liberally toward the building; fund and endowment. He was a churchman, and it is almost needless to say that he always acted in a spirit of thoughtful and considerate liberality to all his workpeople and other dependants, some of whom feel his loss nearly as much as his relatives. He was also a generous contributor to most local charities. The deceased gentleman took no part in political matters, or in the public life of the town. He devoted himself entirely to his business, and to the pursuits in which he delighted. He has bequeathed £3,000 to Birmingham charities, and £2,000 to the Sheffield charities.
