There is a sarcastic remark at the close to the effect that Prussia still embodies a great deal of the spirit of the fifth decade of the century, and a call upon the German press to follow the lead of German printers and type-founders, and insist upon reforms and improvements. The spirit of cooperation is strong in Germany, and shows in all departments. There has been a German booksellers' bank established in Berlin, with a capital of 1,000,000 thalers, for the purpose of centralizing the Berlin and Leipsic commission business and inaugurating a system of reform in all branches of the trade. The same spirit moves all to work together for the founding of a Leipsic public library. There was a petition published calling upon native and foreign men and women to furnish what they could, especially of educational works, and already there is on hand the beginning of a very valuable library. A society of ladies in Munich, under the direction of Mrs. Kaulbach, are making a collection of autographs, to be raffled or sold at auction for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the soldiers sacrificed in the late war. They have already some very valuable specimens, especially interesting to the history of music and literature. The chief committee of the associations for the nursing and care of sick and wounded soldiers have offered a prize of 1,000 marks for the best model of an ambulance and transportation wagon, which is to combine the transportation of hospital stores, food, and refreshment. The time for competition is to expire in July. Since the beginning of the year Germany has lost several of her great men. Grillparzer, the aged Austrian poet, died on the 13th of February, and was buried on the following Wednesday with great ceremony. The funeral procession is said to have been the most magnificent spectacle seen in Vienna for twenty years. Prof. Friedrich A. Trendelenburg died in Berlin, in his seventieth year, on the 24th of January. He was one of the most eminent philosophers of the present time, and had been professor at the Berlin University for nearly forty years. To mention even the very important new books would occupy more space and make more serious demands upon patience and perseverance than your well-filled journal and the American public can be supposed to devote to German productions. The overpowering statistics of the German book trade, even in war-time, give an idea of the task attempted by those who presume to be up to the times in the literature of Germany. In 1870 there were 10,058 works issued, and in 1871 10,669. There has been a good beginning made this year, and 1872 will probably show how the book trade works in times of peace. J. J. Weber of Leipsic has added three new volumes to the "Illustrirte Katechismen," and increased the collection to seventytwo volumes. The same firm announces the third edition of Prof. Cotta's "Geologie der Gegenwort." Much new matter has been added to the work, and all the new theories of the day are sifted and judged. Spamer, Leipsic, have published " Allgemeine Wirthschaftslehre," by Dr. H. Contzen and Dr. H. Schramm; Wigand, of the same city, publishes "Culturgeschichte der neueren Zeit," in three volumes, by Henne-Am Rhyn. A very important work is Hittenkofer's "Entwerfen von Façaden." It is a popular treatise on the modern style of ornamentation for archi- | tects and builders, and is also important as a handbook for students of architecture. It is very richly illustrated by lithographs, and published by Carl Scholtze, of Leipsic. Tschechische Gänge Bohemian sketches and travels by Dr. Richard Andree. It is an important and interesting work 66 are that has made quite a sensation and some bitter enemies among the people treated of. It is pub lished by Velhagen & Klasing, of Leipsic. Grillparzer's "Ansichten über Literatur, Bühne u. Leben," collected from conversations with "A. Foglar," is published in Vienna, by Ed. Hugel. The Vienna press has received the book with wonder. ful unanimity of verdict. They declare it to be the real memoir of Grillparzer, and predict for it an enormous sale. Prof. Brunn, of Munich, is writing a History of Greek Art, which is to be popularly scientific, on the same plan of the histories of Mommsen and Curtius. Mrs. Moscheles, the wife of the celebrated composer, is writing a history of her husband's life and labors. It is to be published at the same time in English and German. A small dictionary of Chemistry has been issued by Oppenheim, of Berlin. It is said to meet a great want in the most satisfactory manner. Asher & Co., Berlin, are going to invest in a copyright edition of English and American authors to rival the Tauchnitz collection. The first volume published is the first part of "Middle March," by George Eliot. Duncker & Co. are said to be starting a similar collection, with Mr. Hepworth Dixon's "Switzers." A great event in Photography is the splendid enterprise of Jammerath & Son, who have photographed the interior of the imperial castles of Berlin and Potsdam. The work is to be published in 36 pictures on strong white boards, 18 inches by 241⁄2. It is undertaken by T. Grieben, of Berlin, and most anxiously expected. The History of the Prussian State, by Dr. Felix Eberty, will be published next month by Eduard Trewendt, of Breslau. Friedrichson & Co., Hamburg, have published a map of ships and maritime flags, drawn by C. F. Steinhaus. It is beautifully printed in colors, with German and English text. Kröner, Stuttgart, publish "Deutsche Sage im Elsass," by W. Hertz, the promising young poet. A prize essay on the mitrailleuse and its work in the war of 1870-1871, by Graf H. Thürheim, is issued by R. v. Waldheim in Vienna. It is a pamphlet reprinted from an Austrian journal. A very important announcement is the Life and Philosophy of David Hume, a prize essay, by Dr. Fr. Jodl. Brockhaus announces "The Case of the United States to be laid before the Tribunal of Arbitration, to be convened at Geneva." There seems to be a great scarcity of novels just now. I may mention "Schuld u. Sühne," by K. Detlef (Hallberger) and "Johannes Olaf," by E Wille (Brockhaus). "Der Sturmvogel," a romance of the sea, by Hacklaender, has been published in parts by Hallberger, of Stuttgart, and is just completed. The popular authoress, Louise Otto, announces "Die Stitsherren von Strassburg," an historical romance, to appear in April. Her last work, just issued, "Deutsche Wunden," Zeitroman, (1864–1871) attracts much attention. H. A. BOOK-MAKING AND THE TARIFF. From the Boston Advertiser. LEADING book manufacturers in the United States are making an effort at Washington to have an equivalent specific duty laid on imported books, in place of the present assessment of twenty-five per cent. on their value. The high rate of exchange during the war had the effect practically of an embargo on English books. In 1861 the valuation on imported books was $656,102; in 1862 it was $275,374, and the impetus given to book manufacture was remarkable. Notwithstanding the heavy drain upon all the industrial interests, the making of books witnessed improvements which seemed to promise an elevation of this industry to The importations in 1865 were valued at $289,310; in 1868 at $1,220,000; and American industry was beginning to feel the effect of this rapid advance in the volume of English books. For the year ending June 30, 1871, the importation amounted to a little less than two millions. To-day the production of books of fine art has almost ceased; we are making our illustrated books almost entirely from English and French electrotypes, or else importing sheets and binding here. The publication of books for young people has suffered even more noticeably, and publishing houses that once made a specialty of these books have found it impossible to continue so losing a business. The answer everywhere is the same; cheap English books, showily dressed, have driven American books of the same class out of the market. The English publishers are steadily forcing the American publishers to the wall; the weakest positions they have already carried. The tariff is supposed to be some barrier, and certainly it is to be regarded rather in this light than as a means of swelling the revenue. The rate of twenty-five per cent. on the value was fixed upon as just, and we do not know that any one has ever undertaken to move for a higher rate. But when this duty comes to be levied, difficulties arise so considerable that the intent of the tariff is defeated, and there is neither revenue for the Government nor protection to the manufacturer, or, we may add, to the honest importer. Every one who is conversant with books knows how apparently arbitrary the price of books in London is, and how widely these prices vary for books apparently as costly. No one but an expert, indeed, can be qualified to appraise a case of miscellaneous books from London, and when this is understood it is evident how wide a door is open for an undervaluation of the goods. It is very certain that not only has smuggling increased, but that there has been an alarming increase in dishonest practices of every kind. A class of petty importers has sprung up, scarcely recognized in the trade, yet managing to pass large invoices of goods into the hands of local booksellers; and the establishment of branches of English houses here enables the publisher to make his invoices out with merely nominal prices, and thus get his books in with a very slight duty. So wide has been the deviation between the London retail price and the invoice price, that the New York appraiser established a rule, after a careful investigation of the subject and consultation with leading houses, by which the duty should in all cases be laid on one-half the London retail price, and on this ruling marked up some invoices three hundred per cent. But the difficulties in securing a conformity to this rule are almost insurmountable, and it is this fact which has driven those who wish an honest impost into calling for a change in the manner of laying it. We have taken various books representing the several classes that pass through the Custom House, and have compared the effect 2s. 6d. 8 oz. .08 .231 .12 11 oz. .08.174 13 OZ. .12 .201 Paris under the Commune.. Schlegel's History of Litera ture. Sunny Days.. My Young Days. Millicent and her Cousins.... 2s. 6d. 3s. 6d. It will be seen that the high-priced books, which are mainly books for scholars, and in many cases are not reprinted here, are favored by the change to a specific duty; that the balance is about even in the case of moderately expensive books, and that the discrimination against the English book comes only when it is a very low-priced book. The last three books on the list are Sunday-school books, belonging to the class which has so effectually put a stop to the production of American books of the same grade. The American publisher is able to buy these books in quantities, laid down in his store, all charges paid, at from twenty to thirty per cent. less than the cost of their manufacture here; the valuation is never over one-half the London price; frequently it is much lower; he buys on nine months' credit, and it is not surprising that he should abandon the production of native books and import the English with his imprint. Even were the specific duty laid, the odds would still be against the American producer. We sometimes hear the objection raised that a specific duty is absurd on the face of it; that the weight of a book bears no relation to its value, and there is suspicion even of a sentimental objection that it is a species of insult to the human intellect. The objection would have more weight if books were not sold by the pound, for every intelligent bookseller knows that the weight of the book has more to do in determining the price than any other element, and the whole business of subscription books is built on the foundation of giving large, bulky volumes for a high price, when the whole matter compressed into a modest space would not fetch one-fifth or even one-tenth the sum. But the fact remains that in no other way can an honest tariff be so effectively secured, the business of rogues damaged, and all the interests involved fairly considered. An intelligent customs officer with a pair of scales would make a good symbol of Justice in this matter. GINN BROTHERS of Boston, the publishers of Hudson's Shakespearean works, are now issuing separately, in paper covered pamphlets, the twelve selected plays, edited with such omissions and notes as to make them useful in schools; issued previously in the two volumes of the School Shakespeare. Next month they will publish Hudson's Family Shakespeare, also twelve plays in two vol umes, pruned and annotated for family reading. ADVANCE BOOK-NOTES. [This department, 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 art 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 depart. ment should be forwarded by publishers two weeks before publication, if possible, or at earliest convenient date.-ED.] Five Hundred Majority: or, the Days of Tammany, by Wyllis Niles, is a political romance which is likely to produce considerable of a sensation. It follows the story of a young man who comes into New York from the country (the author thinks that nine-tenths of those like him ha better cast themselves at once into the sea), is reduced to the utmost poverty, plays the sharp dodge of contriving to be arrested as a suspected criminal and defending himself into a reputation. He attracts the attention of the great leader of Tammany, who takes him as a protégé, and under whose guidance he is introduced "behind the scenes.' The reader is, of course, taken along with him, and the author dissects keenly the typical New York politicians in his descriptions of his dramatis persona. There is considerable ingenuity in the plot of the story, and many hard hits in its incidents, as in the case of the two fashionable dowagers who enter into a solemn league and covenant to "put down" the upstart politician and millionaire for his invasion of the Avenue, and meet the next morning in his parlors, each trying to be ahead of the other in professions of esteem. There is a good deal of life and vigor in the book, which will be issued by the Putnams next week. which in previous editions had sold over 30,000 copies, into the hands of the regular trade. It was issued at the holiday season as a subscription book.. JOHN WILEY & SON not only represent in this country the great Bible house of the Bagsters and keep in stock full lines of their polyglot and other editions, but have also other noteworthy helps for Biblical scholars. Of these the latest is the Hexaglot Bible, issuing abroad by Dickinson & Higham.. This contains, besides the original tongues, the Septuagint (Greek) version of the Old Testament, the Vulgate (Latin) translation, and the authorized English and German and the most approved French versions. They are arranged in parallel columns, most conveniently, and the work is superbly printed. Of the contemplated six volumes, two are now issued; the retail price is $7.50 per volume. A new Bagster polyglot Bible gives the Douay (Roman Catholic) version and Vulgate in parallel columns; this is uniform with the three containing the authorized English version in one column and the Septuagint, original Hebrew, and original Greek respectively, in the other. Messrs. Wiley & Son have also just received the new Hebrew concordance, on the plan of English concordances, by which every Hebrew word and variation of a word may be traced to each place where it occurs, from a directly alphabetical arrange ment. THE Rev. W, H. H. ("Adirondack") Murray, of Boston, is preparing a large volume of short essays, culled from his sermons and other writings, or written especially for the purpose-something af ter the fashion of Beecher's "Life Thoughts," which Lee & Shepard are to publish. Two important publications are forthcoming, Education in Massachusetts, entitled "Art Educaone by Mr. Walter Smith, State Director of Art tion, Scholastic and Industrial," intended to convince people that it is wise to give study to art and to show them how to go to work at it systematical Within and Without, is George Macdonald'sly and with profit; the other, a second book by most important work in poetry, and very characteristic of that remarkable thinker. It is dramatic in form, and its leading figure is that of a soul in the dark, seeking God: All beauty wears to me a doubtful look; These are his words, I doubt not, language strange; I have not yet been held close to his heart. This idea of approaching and realizing God is inwoven in a considerable plot with very varied incidents. The poem, a romance in verse, is crowded with beauties of thought. The utterances are very bold, and in the last part we are taken up in a dream into heaven, and listen to the heavenly converse of the reunited family. LITERARY AND TRADE GOSSIP. PUBLISHERS' BOARD OF TRADE.-The next regular meeting of the Publishers' Board of Trade will be held on Wednesday, April 3, at one o'clock P. M., at the Grand Central Hotel, parlor 217. A full and punctual attendance is urged. Officers for the ensuing year are to be chosen, and other important business, it is expected, will come before the board. DE WITT C. LENT & Co. put their beautifully illustrated new edition of Mr. Saunders's clever Salad for the Solitary and the Social," a work Mrs. Clara E. Clement, the editor of the excellent "Handbook of Legendary and Mythological Art,” which is to be a handbook of Painters, Sculptors, Engravers, and their works, and, with numerous illustrations, is also likely to be popular and valuable. These books will be published respectively by Jas. R. Osgood & Co. and Hurd & Houghton. PROF. DE MILLE has still another new work in press, at the Appletons'. It is called "An Open Question." Its scene is laid in Europe, and it is stated to be even more sensational than his previous books. THE New York School Journal, the only weekly educational paper, is continuing in its old interesting style. It is up to the times in all matters of education and school interest, and especially noticeable for its authentic list of scholars on the roll of merit. Information is furnished by the clerk of the board by order of the principals. See advertisement in present number. A BUSINESS CHANCE.-We would call attention to the advertisement signed Publisher" in the present number. It offers to parties of capital an excellent chance for engaging in the publishing trade. The advertising firm is one of the most popular and active in the city. Communications. may be addressed to office of the "TRADE CIRCULAR.” A FIRE in Bowen, Stewart & Co.'s book-store, in Indianapolis, Ind., destroyed a large part of their retail department and their entire wholesale stock, The total loss on stock and building will probably | reach $100,000.. Bowen, Stewart & Co.'s insurance is about $50,000, partly in the Queen, of Liverpool, and the Home and Phoenix, of New York. As they are renewing their stock without delay, publishers and manufacturers of paper, stationery, and sundry goods, should at once send on their latest lists and catalogues and offer inducements for purchase. ART EDUCATION.-Mr. Walter Smith, State Di. rector of Art Education in Massachusetts, has prepared a work which may not unlikely prove the beginning of a new era in art matters in this countryIt is entitled "Art Education, Scholastic, and Industrial," and is designed to show at once the benefits resulting from the study of art, and the most systematic and profitable modes of study. Mr. Smith's recent lectures in this city have justified the wisdom of his nomination to the position he holds, and warrant us in assuring those interested in art culture and its promotion in America, that his work will be of great practical value. It will be published by James R. Osgood & Co. SURDAM & WHITE, manufacturers of Stereoscopes, are now meeting with the gratifying success they so much deserve. During the French war they saw the necessity of stereoscope lense manufacturing in the United States, and could scarcely supply their customers with stereoscopes, through the scarcity of lenses at that time. They introduced machinery and secured help from abroad for manufacturing lenses. At that time they made only three dozen per week, and now are pleased to state they have increased their facilities to run out eighty dozen per week, which enables them to sell stereoscopes at the most favorable prices. See advertisement. MR. ELIZUR WRIGHT has in preparation and will publish soon a work in folio, entitled "Savings-Bank Life Insurance," with illustrative tables analyzing the premiums per $1,000 of two hundred and sixty-eight policies, showing the insurance, self-insurance, and surrender value of each for every policy-year, by the actuaries' rate of mortality at four per cent. The text, which occupies the first thirty pages of the work, explains the principles on which the analysis is made, and also the plates and tables which make up the greater part of the work.-Boston Advertiser. PROF. WILLIAM S. TYLER, of Amherst, with the assistance of many officers and friends of the institution, has been engaged for several years in the preparation of a history of the first half-century of Amherst College. It is intended to be a complete and valuable memento of the foundation and early history of the college, which every student-graduate and friend of the college will desire to possess. It will extend to about 600 pages, large octavo, and will contain many illustrations and portraits. The typography and binding will be worthy. It is to be published in behalf of the college corporation as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers is obtained to warrant the venture. Prof. Julius H. Seeley will receive subscriptions. L. PRANG & Co. Boston, hitherto known to the public only through their celebrated chromos, have entered an entirely new field by bringing out "Schem's Universal Statistical Table," a publication containing the most important statistical facts relating to all the countries of the world, such as the area of each country, form of government, and head of the same, population, expenses, debt, paper money, amount of circulation, standing army, navy, merchant vessels, imports, exports, chief produce, coins and their value in gold, weights and measures, railroads, telegraphs, capitals and principal cities, together with number of inhabitants, etc., etc. The amount of interesting and noteworthy facts condensed here in so small a compass, is almost incredible, and their arrangement on the table, when this is mounted on two sides of a sheet of cardboard, as directed, is most convenient for reference and comparison. Every man of intelligence will welcome this new practical aid to our knowledge of the world's doings, and, we have no doubt, will accord it a prominent place near his writing desk. A similar German publication, edited by Dr. Otto Hubner, in Frankfort, and upon which this is based, has run already through twenty yearly editions-proof evident of its great practical value. The name of Prof. Schem, the American editor, is a sufficient guarantee that the work has been done most thoroughly and conscientiously. The price of the table is 25 cents. COLONEL WARD H. LAMON, for years the law partner of Abraham Lincoln, and during his Presidency, Marshal of the District of Columbia, has written a life of Mr. Lincoln, the first volume of which will be published in April by Osgood & Co. Col. Lamon's relations with the President were so intimate, and he has had so full access to important documents not within reach of Mr. Lincoln's previous biographers, that his book will be a new revelation of the ancestry, infancy, childhood, and youth of Lincoln. A NEW VOLUME BY EMERSON.-Mr. Emerson has prepared a new volume of Essays, which will be published by James R. Osgood & Co., probably as early as May next. The title of the book is "Poetry and Criticism." The contents will be a series of such papers as we can expect from no other writer than Mr. Emerson. MESSRS. LIPPINCOTT & Co. have commenced the publication of a New Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, by Drs. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, of Scotland. It is critical, experimental, and practical, and will be completed in six large octavo volumes. THE "Christian Year," the Episcopalian magazine started last July, and which lived but through October, is to be revived in May, the publisher, Mr. Pliny F. Smith, having raised ample funds to push it through to success. Rev. Howard C. Potter, D. D., Rector of Grace Church, and Rev. B. F. De Costa, a well-known littérateur, are to be the new editors. THE "American Journalist and Advertisers' Index" is the full title of a new monthly journal published in Philadelphia, by Messrs. Coe, Wetherill & Co., advertising agents, as a manual for advertisers and newspaper men. The editorial department is under the charge of Mr. Edwin T. Freedly, who has had some experience and is in every way capable. Every number will contain twenty pages of reading matter and advertisements, and the " 'Journalist presents a neat and handsome appearance. ་་ THE 'National Business Index" is a new monthly magazine; "an encyclopædia of business knowledge for the people." It contains a very large amount of information, both interesting and valuable to the general public. Everything is classified and arranged with thorough system, and at the same time presented in readable, attractive style. The price is exceedingly low, only fifty cents a year. The publishers also present a very fine chromo, "Apple Blossoms," (one of Prang's, worth in the art stores $1 each) to each subscriber. Send for specimen copy to The Index Company, 433 West Jackson street, Chicago, Ill EMMA HARDINGE BRITTEN, 251 Washington street, Boston, announces the publication of a new monthly magazine, entitled "The Western Star." The principal features aimed at in this undertaking will be to establish a record of the momentous events connected with modern Spiritualism, and to gather up and preserve such material as cannot be included in the columns of ordinary weekly journals devoted to Spiritualism. Each number will contain from sixty to eighty pages of reading matter in large type, on fine paper, and so arranged that the several articles can be bound up in separate volumes. Terms of subscription $4 per year; 35c. per number. THE gentleman connected with the Peabody Academy of Science (formerly the Essex Institute), Salem, Mass., has shown an enterprising and practical devotion to science, an intellectual utilization of Yankee grit, which has borne good fruit. The American Naturalist has been conducted under great difficulties with admirable success, and Mr. F. W. Putnam, the mainspring of the Academy and its work, has now in operation in Salem a printing house for scientific work, from which much may be expected. The publication of Prof. Packard's work on the "Birds of North America," which promises to be the standard work of the future, is now under way. The senior partner of Dodd & Mead has just returned from Salem, having made arrangements to act as the New York agents for the Naturalist and their other publications. With this and the publication of Prof. Dana's "Corals and Coral Islands," this young and enterprising house will have made a fine start for a reputation in the scientific direction. THE Rev. W. J. Loftie is preparing a volume called "A Century of Bibles; or, the Authorized Version from 1611 to 1711," which will comprise a complete bibliographical list of upwards of 350 editions of the Bible and Testament of the authorized version printed before 1711. An Appendix will contain a list of the Bibles of this translation in the British Museum, the Bodleian Library, the collection of Mr. Fry, those named by Lea Wilson, and those in a few smaller collections.
