"Popular Tales." Several of the most popular books of this publisher are now to be known as Whittaker's Home Series, retailing at $1.50 each. 44 THE WORTHINGTON Co. have again secured a piece of work by the artist-author, Mary A. Lathbury, whose "Seven Little Maids," "RingA round-a-Rosy," "Meadow-Sweet," etc., have been great publishing successes. April Skies" displays twelve little heads with bonny eyes of brown and blue, some dazzling with happiness, some clouded with little rain-bedewed heartaches, all healthy and natural, and just like everybody's real children. Little verses sing of baby's feelings "after sleep," "in wonderland," "in the meadow," as "a little knight," "in dreamland," etc., etc., and the pretty word and color fancies of the artist have been confined in a large-sized book, to which thick paper and a cloudy binding with five little heads give a fetching holiday air. For "Worthington's Annual, 1890," it is hard to find a new adjective. It is fit to take its place with all the former volumes, and offers its usual lavish supply of interesting and amusing reading for young readers. "The Girls' Own Book" of last season has received a worthy companion in The Boys' Own Book," a series of entertaining 46 stories and pictures for little men, bound in a gay cover on which seven lusty boys are trying their strength by pulling a tug-of-war; Playmates" is still another collection of verse and story with cover adorned with children, dolls, and dogs; and the "Young Folks' Annual" makes ington's Annual" in its generous assortment of a bold competitor for honors with the "Worthstories, poems, pictures, etc., to tempt the eyes and fingers of every age. and "Alaeddin, or, the wonderful lamp," have put Sinbad, the Sailor," which would have bewitched the eyes of little on an up-to-date, expert-manufactured costume, readers fifty years ago, and will appear "nice" blasé as they have been made by the fond foolisheven to the darlings of 1889, totally spoiled and ness of papas and publishers. E. & J. B. YOUNG have a long line of books, published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, which are well selected and neatly gotten up. Sunday for 1890 makes as attractive an appearance as in years past. An excellent series is The Child's Pictorial Series, containing stories by Mrs. Molesworth, Katherine S. Macquoid, Rev. J. G. Wood, Harrison Weir, and W. J. Morgan; and there are many other volumes, both for girls and boys. From "Grandma's Rhymes and Chimes for Children." (Copyright, 1889, by Roberts Brothers. E. P. DUTTON & Co. this year make a specialty of "cut-out" or "shaped" books, which range in price from ten to fifty cents, and cannot fail to meet with wonderful success. Between their artistically shaped covers they will hold from eight to ten pages of perfectly printed monotint color and type. Fred Hines and Walter Paget, who have already done so much fine work for this house, have improved, if possible, on their former efforts of taste and execution. Most of the work published by the Duttons is printed in Nister's printing establishment at Nuremberg. These pretty things look like sails, birds, pussies, shells, ship riggings, etc. "Nister's Calendar for 1890 is also sure of enormous sale. HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & Co. have once more made ready their popular calendars for 1890, and offer "The American Poet's Calendar," and "Calendar Books," selections from the writings of Emerson, Hawthorne, Holmes, Longfellow, Lowell, and Whittier, each book put up in a parchment paper cover and sold separately, and also furnished all six together in a neat box for sending away to friends over sea and land. The new attraction for this year is "The Rainbow Calendar," by Miss Kate Sanborn, made up of selections for light and gloomy moments, and furnished with an allowance of blank paper for every day, so that it may serve the purposes of a diary also. W. R. JENKINS makes a specialty of French, German, and English calendars for 1890, made up of quotations from well-known writers of these languages. The English calendars are made up from the Bible, Shakespeare, Dickens, Thackeray, and Tennyson. Christmas-books, have a goodly array for this LEE & SHEPARD, the pioneers of calendars and called "All Around the Year !" and is gotten up year. The sepiatint calendar for 1890 is on ivory card-board, with rings, chain, and tassel; 'Hurrah for the New Year!" is the boudoir calendar for 1890 and looks festive with ribbon bows, silver chains, and rings; "One Merrie Christmas Time" and "A Happy New Year to You" have on all the adornments it is considered good taste to wear at one time; and "Our Baby's Book," the mother's record of events in baby's life, is just the thing to give a young and happy mother of the finest child in the world, in which she may record all the details so interesting to the immediate surroundings of "baby" and so very wearing to the sisters, cousins, and aunts of every other perfect baby. NIMS & KNIGHT have advanced the date on all their well-known calendars and have added some block calendars are the Tennyson, George Eliot, new ones to their steadily growing list. Their Dickens, and Thackeray. Each has a new design for the mount, printed in colors. A new wrinkle this year is the brass fastener by which the block is secured to the mount. "A Kalendar from Jap Town," designed by J. Pauline Sumter, contains eighteen pictures of Japanese life, size 41⁄2 x 534, and with silver rings and chains and cords and tassels makes a show of oriental richness; the Calendar of the Birds," by the same artist, is just as pretty in its own sphere of song and color; and no one ought to think he has as nice a calendar as he can buy until he has made sure of seeing the goods provided by this young and hard-working house. L. PRANG & Co. merit a careful examination of their extensive line of Christmas and New Year cards, satin art prints, Christmas and New Year novelties, calendars, etc. They have made a specialty of American art, as is shown by the names of Elihu Vedder, F. S. Church, Miss L. B. Humphrey, Miss Dora Wheeler, Miss Rosina Emmet, Miss Ida Waugh, Louis K. Harlow, etc. A leading feature this year is an unusal number of calendars for the pocket, the desk, and the mantel-piece, among which are two new folders by Miss L. B. Humphrey, the last work of this gifted and lamented artist. Three new Christmas pictures, sure to be as popular as the bewitching" Prize Babies," are "The Prize Babies' Walking-Match," by Miss Ida Waugh; "The Dash for Liberty," by A. F. Tait, lively, fluffy chicks escaping from a basket; and "FiveO'clock Tea," by C. D. Weldon. This enterprising house also offers a set of six etchings, by W. Goodrich Beal, showing views about Cape Ann, Massachusetts. FLEMING H. REVELL have prepared a number of souvenirs in chromo-lithograph, monotint, and etchings. A pretty device is a booklet and easel combined. In this shape the publisher has "My Cabin Window, or, across the Atlantic," where the window when opened reveals a little book of twenty-four pages with poems from Longfellow, Scott, Shelley, Holmes, and others, covering an imaginary trip from Liverpool to New York; and "The House Boat, or, up the river," in which appear choice poems by Wordsworth, Hemans, Pope, Kingsley, and other favorites, and pictures showing picturesque river scenery. This house has a variety of etched booklets which are pretty but of which the bare titles convey no idea. Fleming H. Revell has also a complete and perfect series of Biblical maps, at a moderate price, containing everything that can be desired by the most critical Biblical scholar, for Sundayschool, Bible class, seminary, college, or study. It is a series of thirty maps and plans, mounted on self-acting spring rollers, 54 x 46 inches in size and set in a handsome cabinet case, to hang on the wall. The distinctive title of this publication is "The Biblical Wall Atlas," by T. Ruddiman Johnson. The author's name is a sufficient guarantee that the maps contain the results of the latest geographical research, including the recent surveys of the "Palestine Exploration Expedition," together with every benefit of the most accurate modern scholarship. The maps combine legibility and a convenient size. The publisher is confident that the large outlay necessary to produce such an important series will meet with a just appreciation from the large and steadily increasing body of Biblical scholars. FREDERICK A. STOKES & BRO. reinforces his army of calendars with a strong little detachment of new but by no means raw recruits. It is impossible to make their individualities and idiosyncrasies clear in the short interview granted in this place; they must be seen and admired on the battleground of the Christmas counter. Ask for "The Landscape Calendar," and you will see water-color drawings of bits of American scenery, with nickel fastener and ribbon bows; for the "Calendar of Nations," and twelve children of different nations, designed by Maud Humphrey, will be shown you; and you may expect pleasant sights also if you mention "Calendar of the Seasons," "A Year of Good Wishes," "Hark, Hark My Soul," etc., etc. WHITE & ALLEN issue two new calendars gotten up with that fine finish of detail for which the house is distinguished. "The Little People's Calendar," by Julius Schledorn, is as dainty as good taste and generous outlay can make it; and "The Life of Christ Calendar of 1890" is composed of twelve pages, giving a series of designs which illustrate famous events in the life of the appropriate to each month by G. W. Brenneman, Saviour. Everything coming from this house is sure to be as perfect of its kind as it can be made. Arabian Nights' Entertainments. Aldine ed. Jonathan Scott.
