I will append its latest argument at the endary Register, two illustrated catalogues of his pub of this letter. It has also published a ten page lications, to be issued semi-annually hereafter.

It will be in on Books." This is the first publication bearing I vol. 12mo, 624 pp., half turkey, $2.25. the Association's imprint. Lippincott has brought out "Philadelphia and its Environs," a guide-book to the city, just in time for the Convention. It is a 72 page octavo, in paper covers, is crowded with fine illustrations of prominent points in and about the city, and is very well gotten up. "Eleonore," a sprightly romance, "after" the German of E. von Rothenfels (which means a free translation) is the latest novel issued by this house. It is by Frances Elizabeth Bennett, and is among the best of the summer novels issued as yet this season. Lippincott has also published the first part of an exhaustive Concordance to Shakespeare's Poems, by Mrs. Horace Howard Furness, containing "Venus and Adonis," and the first two volumes of "A New Commentary, Critical, Experimental, and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments," by Rev. Drs. Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and David Brown. The parts now published embrace the Pentateuch, Joshua, and Esther, with five maps. The whole work is to be completed in six volumes, to be issued at intervals of two months. "Saturnella," by G. F. Whyte-Melville; "Old Margaret," by Henry Kingsley; and Aytoun," a romance which has been running through Lippincott's | Magazine, are announced as nearly ready. 66 Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger have published "Chateau Morville," a "highly proper" novel, though from the French. The translator proposes to follow it with a series of "good" novels (in a moral, not æsthetic sense), if this initial one proves a success "Fairmount Park," a jewel of a guide-book, issued by this firm, is a decided success, the fifth edition being now in the market. Its author is Charles S. Keyser, a well-known lawyer, and one of the original projectors of the Park. Butler's Ecclesiastical History, which I announced some time ago, is now ready, as is also "The Immigrant Builder," a capital handbook for people going West, or anywhere else where they will probably need to be their own architects. The work, which is copiously illustrated, is by C. P. Dwyer, the editor of “ Sloan's Architectural Review." It contains instructions for building every kind of a house, from a log shanty to brick mansion, and puts its instructions so clearly that a handy man with a good axe need be at no loss for a comfortable home. This house has in preparation, for speedy delivery, a kind of political bombshell, in the shape of a bitterly rebel novel, by Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, entitled "Fitz Hugh Ludlow; or, It is no Crime to be a Gentleman." It is cleverly written, and will probably make a sensation. Porter & Coates have published for the author a "Diary of a Spring Holiday in Cuba," by a prominent physician of this city. It is a 12m0, 124 pp. Illst. Price $1.00. As it is mainly for private distribution, and is not offered to the trade, I am not permitted to do more than simply announce it. P. F. Cunningham has brought out a Catholic novel entitled "Marion Howard," (12m0, 627 pp. $1.50.) This is a well conceived work, though the dialogue is rather stilted, its object being "an explanation of religion to those outside the Church, particularly to Evangelical Protestants." He has also published two small volumes of his "Young Catholic's Library," entitled "Aunt Fanny's Present, or The Book of Fairy Tales," an entertaining little collection, and "Woodland Cottage and Other Stories." They are 18mos., pp. 137, 50 cts. "The Divine Life of the Most Holy Virgin Mary," an abridgment of "The Mystical City of God" (12m0, 400 pp. $1.50), will be ready next week, and a "Life of St. Augustine," by Rev. Dr. Moriarty, is in preparation. The Presbyterian Board of Publication and the American Sunday School Union have each brought a number of small volumes, already announced in the TRADE CIRCULAR. "How the Kingdom Came to Little Joy," from the press of the latter society, is a story of more than average merit. An enterprise possessing some novel features has just announced itself. The General Agent of The Aldine, wishing to enlarge his subscription list, has secured a new marine picture, from the easel of A. F. Bunner, an artist recently from Chicago; and offers it as a premium for one thousand new subscriptions. The picture, which represents the end of a storm on the coast of Maine, and is entitled "Breaking Away," is a beauty, and is valued at $500, which makes it a prize worth having; but the novel part of the offer is that, instead of virtually raffling off the picture, the subscribers are invited to vote it to one of the public institutions of the city; the one receiving the largest number of votes to have the prize. This plan appeals to the sympathies of all who are interested in the institutions in question, and does away with the objectionable "lottery" business.
