MORRILL, HIGGINS & Co. have just issued "Fair to Look Upon," by Mary Belle Freeley, in which the Old Testament stories of Eve, Hagar, Rebekah, Sarah, Lot's wife and other wives are told by a prospective bride to her intended husband to prove to him that women never did obey, and that with the exception of the case of Lot's wife their disobedience remained unpunished, for they were "fair to look upon." It contains numerous illustrations in different colors. Among the newest books of the house are a second series of "In Friendship's Name," by Volney Streamer; "An Unwedded Wife," by Genevieve Kirk, and "The Crime of Philip Guthrie," by Lulah Ragsdale.

THE novel by Miss Mary Angela Dickens, granddaughter of Charles Dickens, entitled

66

Cross Currents," is ready for publication in Appletons' Town and Country Library. The London Spectator has said, that had the veteran writer lived to see it he would have found pleasure in the thought that, after he was gone, the name of Dickens would still be honorably associated with imaginative literature. 'Cross Currents' is not only an excellent novel, but it is distinguished by a kind of excellence which is exceedingly rare in the work of a beginner. Every page inspires one with a desire to meet its author again."

THE J. B. Lippincott Co. have in press "Recent Rambles," by Charles C. Abbott, "Handy Book of Literary Curiosities," by William S. Walsh, and "Sir Godfrey's Granddaughters," by R. N. Carey.

ANSON D. F. RANDOLPH & Co. (Incorp.) announce Pulpit Commentary," Ezekiel, Vol. II, "Historical Memorials, Canterbury," by Dean Stanley, September 15, and "Up and Down the House," by Warner, Sept. 20.

WORTHINGTON COMPANY have issued "Enthralled and Released" in their Rose Library, and in their Fair Library "One Year, a Tale of Wedlock," while in their International Library they issue "Four Destinies," by Gautier, translated by Lucy Arrington.

RAND, MCNALLY & Co. have published in their Globe Library" Mr. and Mrs. Bewer," by P. Lindau, with a cover illustration reproduced from Worthington Company's "Flirt.'

Our Little Men and Women for September is as bright as a new dollar." The frontispiece is a picture and a poem in itself, and the closing illustration is an apt companion. Many of its stories and poems will remind the little readers that vacation is over, and others will help them to better enjoy their play time and study time. Our Little Men and Women is a magazine made for the younger boys and girls, by writers who best know the boys and girls' needs, and it stands without a rival.

MESSRS. HENRY HOLT & Co. will publish soon, in three volumes, the verses of a "new poet," Charles Leonard Moore, who arrives under the enthusiastic introduction of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. The volumes are called "Poems Antique and Modern," "A Book of Day Dreams," and "The Banquet of Palacios." The last is in prose, and is said to be a comedy, with scenes laid in South America. Prof. Henry E. Beers, of Yale, will publish with the same firm "A Midwinter Night's Dream and Other Tales," and a volume of sketches of life at Yale. Novels by Mrs. Maria Beale ("Jack O'Doon ") and Miss S. B. Elliott ("John Paget ") are also announced by Holt.

THOMAS WHITTAKER will issue in September "Imogen; or, Only Eighteen," by Mrs. Molesworth, and "The Cross Roads; or, A Choice in Life," by Charlotte M. Yonge.

MACMILLAN & Co. are publishing a new edi. tion of the complete works of Dickens, following the first edition, with illustrations by Brown, and adding introductions by Charles Dickens the younger.

A NEW novel by Alphonse Daudet will soon be published, called "Soutien de Famille," the story of the good and the bad son of a widow. After finishing this he intends to translate into French from the Provençal of a farmer's boy named Baptiste Bonnet a rustic novel called "Mémoires d'un Valet de Ferme."

WHITTAKER & Co. publish in London for A. J. Macguinis an account of the steam trade between England and the United States from the passage of the Savannah to Europe in 1819. "The Atlantic Ferry" omits to mention an early steam passage the other way-that of her Majesty's ship Rhadamanthus in 1833 to Jamaica.

D. APPLETON & Co. have just issued "Capt'n Davy's Honeymoon: a Manx Yarn," by Hall Caine; also, a new volume in Appleton's Summer Series, by John Seymour Wood, entitled "Gramercy Park, A Story of New York." They have in preparation The Story of Columbus," by Mrs. Seelye, a daughter of Dr. Edward Eggleston, who has edited the work, illustrated by Mrs. Seelye's sister, Miss Allegra Eggleston; and a new novel by Miss Woods, the author of "Metzerott, Shoemaker," which is to be called "From Dusk to Dawn," and which partly turns upon the relation of the individual to the community. HARPER & BROTHERS make the interesting announcement that they have published a new volume in the "English Men of Letters" series, which seemed to have stopped with Sidney Colvin's "Keats" in 1887, although the promise that "other volumes will follow" was never

44

withdrawn. The new volume is 'Carlyle," written by Professor John Nichol, author of "Byron" in the same series.

MORITZ JOKAI, the Hungarian poet, historian and statesman, has been made the object of a magnificent and delicate compliment by a wealthy member of the Hungarian parliament. While the provisions of the gift will continue for the benefit of Hungarian authors after Jokai's death, its primary thought is for the veteran author and statesman, who enjoys European esteem. The donor has set aside 150,000 gulden, with a handsome villa in Budapesth, for the use of the "best living Hungarian author." A jury, consisting of two members of the Hungarian Academy of Science, two members of the Kisfeludy Society, two members of the Petofi Society, and two well-known publishers of the Hungarian capital, will decide upon the man entitled to the prize. The fortunate author is to occupy the villa and have the income of 150,000 gulden, amounting to about 7,000 gulden a year, until his death, when the jury or its successors will elect the next beneficiary.

"VIRGINIA DARE; A ROMANCE OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY " by E. A. B. S., and "At the end of the Rainbow," a Colorado story by Julia A. Sabine, will be published at once by Thomas Whittaker.

THE Bookman of next month will contain a paper on the irrepressible "Labby," of Truth, and his early relations with Mr. Gladstone, and will reveal the secret, Who wrote the Quarterly criticism on " Jane Eyre?"

SOME novelists are in demand on the Continent. Two of the leading Swiss daily papers are running as feuilletons translations from English novels. A story by Mr. Baring-Gould is appearing daily in the Bund of Basel, under the title of "Familie Pfennigschmidt," while the Journal de Genève is serving out daily portions of Mrs. Alexander's 66 Regardez avant de sauter." Hereupon we may remark that if the verdict of a foreigner is equivalent to the verdict of posterity, most of our modern criticisms will need revision.

IT is reported that the first novel in the revived Godey's Magazine will be by John Habberton, and entitled "Honey and Gall." We beg to say that this title is already possessed by a volume of poems by the late F. S. Saltus, published some years ago.

One Year: A Tale of Wedlock, translated from the Swedish, appears as No. 3 in the Fair Library. The hero and heroine profess to have no love for each other and marry out of esteem and friendship. But on the wedding day the bride repents, and the newly married couple agree to live ostensibly as man and wife for a twelvemonth and then obtain a divorce. How friendship develops into mutual love the reader is told in the following pages. As a contrast, there is interwoven the story of a couple who, starting out with love, ended in separation.
