tion will contain all the matter of the earlier edition, namely: (1) a popular account of all that is known of the history of the poetess; (2) a complete text in Greek of every known word of hers, with a literal translation in English prose; (3) all the better renderings into English verse which have been made of them; and (4) a bibliography. Since the first edition was published, Mr. Wharton has been so fortunate as to procure, from the Director of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, an autotype fac-simile of a newly discovered fragment of Sappho; and this appears in the new edition, together with other additions and alterations which are of the utmost interest as throwing fresh light on Sappho's genius. The additional matter amounts to some forty pages. The new edition is printed from Greek type of great beauty. FOREIGN NOTES. M. HENRI ROCHEFORT's new romance is entitled La Mal' Aria.' M.

It will be of about the same dimensions as its well-known predecessor. MR. LANG's reprint of Adlington's translation of Apuleius's 'Cupid and Psyche' will form the first volume of a series to be entitled 'Bibliothèque de Carabas.' It will have illustrations by Mr. W. B. Richmond and Mr. Vereker Hamilton, and, in accordance with its Elizabethan character, introductory verses by Miss May Kendall, Mr. J. W. Mackail, Mr. F. Locker-Lampson, Mr. W. H. Pollock, and the editor. SIGNOR G. B. PASSANO is bringing out a muchneeded supplement to the well-known 'Dizionario di Opere Anonime et Pseudonime di Scrittori Italiani' of Melzi. IN the "Bibliotheque d' up Curieux," M. Lemerre has reprinted the 'Euvres de Louise Labé' in two volumes 16mo.

WILLIAM PATER will shortly publish with Messrs. Macmillan a new volume, entitled 'Imaginary Portraits.' M. MAURICE DREYFOUS has issued in an edition limited to 500 copies, of which five are on Japan paper,an unpublished poem by Théodore de Banville -Le Forgeron.' It is printed 'avec grand luxe' in three colours within a border in two colours. THE oldest-known manuscript on alchemy, written in Greek in the eleventh century, is about to be printed by M. Berthelot, the eminent chemist, and author of the 'Origins of Alchemy.' MR. H. F. BROWN, who has lived for some years pist at Venice, and who published in 1884 a charining book entitled 'Life on the Lagoons,' is now passing through the press a new volume of essays, dealing, this time, with Venetian history. MR. GEORGE BANCROFT is at present visiting Tennessee, where he is collecting materials for a history of the life and times of President Polk. MINNA HERZLIEB, the reputed prototype of Ottilie in Goethe's Wahlverwandtschaften,' who had inspired the poet with a passionate love in his old age, has been made the subject of a monograph by Dr. Gaedertz, which is said to be founded on new authentic documents. A hitherto unknown portrait of "Minchen " will be prefixed to the book, which is shortly to be published. FREDERICK A. STOKES, successor to White, Stokes & Allen, 182 Fifth Avenue, N. Y., announces that he has in preparation a large number of new publications of literary and artistic excellence, which he "will bring out in the same general manner as that in which he has put forth the former publications of White, Stokes & Allen, as the manufacturing department has been in his charge." He is also "preparing many novel and original styles of binding and make-up for forthcoming publications of various natures." MESSRS. ARNOLD & Co. of Philadelphia have published Canning and Preserving,' by Mrs. S. T. Rorer. In this attractively printed volume Mrs. Rorer discusses at length the canning and preserving of fruits and vegetables, with the kindred subjects of marmalades, butters, fruit jellies and syrups, drying and pickling. As in her larger work, the Philadelphia Cook Book,' the recipes are clearly and simply given, while an exhaustive index affords easy reference to every subject. Two pieces in Mr. Browning's new book, it may be interesting to note, have appeared before. One is the 'Spring Song' Such as one makes now,-say when Spring repeats That miracle the Greek bard sadly greetswith which the parleying with Gerard de Lairesse, the Flemish Raphael, concludes. This pretty song was printed some time ago as Mr. Browning's contribution to The New Amphion.' The other passage that is already familiar is the description of Joan of Arc bathing, which Mr. Brownin introduces to the parleying with Francis Furini in order to point his moral about the nude in art. This scene has appeared before, not in Mr. Browning's own poetry, but in his son's picture at the "Grosvenor" last season, entitled 'Joan of Arc and the Kingfisher.' Says Mr. Browning Paint this! Only, turn Her face away-that face about to turn Into an angel's when the time is ripe! That task's beyond you. Was this a paternal injunction, or were Mr. Browning's lines written ex post facto? THE number of books copyrighted in the United States last year was 11,124, as against 2,076 in 1880. So says "T. W. H." in Harper's Bazar, an accurate writer; but we should like to know whether the number for 1886 (more than twice that of English copyrights in the same year) is exclusive of works produced on this side of the Atlantic. BARON TAUCHNITZ has celebrated the fiftieth anniversary (Athen., No. 3093) of the foundation of his famous house by publishing a volume compiled by his son, recording the history of the firm. Several extracts are printed from letters by authors whose works have appeared in the well-known collection beloved of the British tourist, such as Dickens, Disraeli, Lord Lytton, Mrs. Gaskell, Carlyle, Thackeray, Sir Arthur Helps, Kingsley, Lever, Ainsworth, Macaulay, Charles Reade, and Anthony Trollope, all 01 whom seem to have been on the friendliest terms with their German publisher. Macaulay the Baron visited two or three weeks only before his death. Lists are added not only of the collection of British authors, but of the collection of German authors, the admirable edition of ancient classics, the valuable works on jurisprudence, and other books that the Baron may well be proud of having brought out. On the occasion of the fourth centenary of the foundation of the University library at Copenhagen the professors of the University and of the higher educational establishments in Denmark, have founded a society for the collection and publication of documents connected with the literary and philological history of the country. The society has adopted as its name Universitets Jubilæects Danske Samfund. It has inaugurated its publications with a very remarkable dictionary of the ancient Danish language, entitled: Ordbog til det ældre Danske Sprog.' EDWARD ALLEN FAY, of the National Deaf Mute College at Washington, has printed in a supplement to Modern Language Notes, a tentative list of words used only by Dante, of which he invites criticism. It will be revised for his forthcoming Concordance of the Divina Commedia.' OF Mr. Rider Haggard's 'She' Mudie's Library in London took 2,000 copies and of King Solomon's Mines' 1170 copies. Of Hayward's Letters the Library took 750 copies, of Greville's 'Reign of Queen Victoria' 1,000, of Sir F. H. Doyle's Reminiscences 1,000, of Stevenson's Kidnapped' 1,000, and of Rhoda Broughton's Doctor Cupid' 775. THE Frankfurter Zeitung says that the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar has sent to the administrative committee of the "Goethe-Haus" at Frankfort a series of documents which will be of great service to them in their "restoration" of the poet's house, or more strictly of his "Vaterhaus." They were found amongst the collections at Weimar, and consist of a complete set of bills relating to the rebuilding of the house by the poet's father, an account of which is given by his son Wolfgang in the Wahrheit und Dichtung.' These bills reach as far as the year 1755, and throw the fullest light upon every detail of the construction of the house, from the color-washing of the ceiling and the hanging of the walls Tapeten" down to the simplest door-latches. The rooms can thus be "restored" to their exact appearance at the time in which Goethe's parents lived in them. "mit MEDALLION portraits of a dozen literary men and women of America have been on exhibition at the Century Club, before being sent to the Public Library of Springfield, Ill., for which they are intended. They are by a Danish-American sculptor, Mr. Carl RoehlSmith, and represent Emerson, Longfellow, Poe,. Whittier, Stedman, Mrs. Stowe and others. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.
