PUBLISHER. EDITOR.

The number of the INTERNATIONAL BOOKSELLER for the 24th of September is the FALL ANNOUNCEMENT NUMBER. It will contain, in addition to the complete lists of works to appear at this important season of the business year, a synopsis of the "Fall Trade Catalogue," as well as its usual critical and editorial departments, and, to ensure that copies of this number reach Booksellers and Stationers, wholesale and retail, in every part of the country, a large edition will be issued.

We have the pleasure to inform our readers that Mr. George W. Jacobs will henceforth have charge of all the Philadelphia business of the INTERNATIONAL BOOKSELLER. The increase in our business relations renders it necessary that we should have representatives in all centres of publishing activity, and we congratulate ourselves on having secured the services of a gentleman so well known in the trade. We bespeak for Mr. Jacobs the same kindly consideration which has always been accorded to us in the past.

Mr. Geo. W. Jacob's address is 715 Market street, Philadelphia, where he will be glad to receive items of interest, notes on new publications, and announcements, and any advertisements with which we may be favored.

THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKSELLER, as its title indicates, is intended to serve as an intermediary between American and foreign publishers. It has a larger European circulation than any other American book trade paper, and will prove to be the best medium for announcements by publishers who desire to enter the European market with their copyright works.

We therefore request our friends in the trade to furnish us with announcements of forthcoming works at a date early enough to enable international arrangements to be made for reproduction in England.

Obituary.

GEORGE GEBBIE.

MR. GEORGE GEBBIE, who died at his home, 714 Spruce street, August 13, 1892, from heart failure produced by exhaustion from the extreme heat, was born at Rosemount, near Troon, on August 24, 1832, and belonged to a very old family of Scotch yeomanry, who farmed an estate called Newbyres, and which has existed for over 900 years. He attended the village school at Troon, kept by a dominie of the old school, and was considered a very bright boy, and even then showed a decided interest and predilection for literature and art.

At the age of 17 he went to London and became a dry goods clerk. In 1862 he came to America to visit his brother, Thomas Gebbie, a prominent merchant in the town of Howick, province of Quebec, Canada. He subsequently went to Utica, New York, and was for a time employed in the dry goods business there. In 1864 he engaged in the book business as a canvasser for Johnson, Fry & Co., of New York, and remained with them until 1866, when he started in business for himself as a retail bookseller in Philadelphia with a capital of about $800.

In 1867 he formed a partnership with Frederic Keppel, now a successful dealer in engravings in New York, but owing to Mr. Keppel's preference for engravings to books they separated amicably the same year.

In 1873 Mr. Gebbie associated with himself Mr. George Barrie, who was at that time connected with Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co., forming the well-known firm of Gebbie & Barrie.

Shortly afterwards they sold out their retail book business to Robert M. Lindsay, and entered the subscription publishing business at 619 Sansom street. The firm was very successful, and in 1880 Mr. Gebbie retired, selling his interest to Mr. Barrie. He went to Europe, where he intended to remain, but his affection for his adopted country (he having become a naturalized citizen in 1869) proved so strong that in 1881 he returned and entered again into the publishing business, using the firm name of Gebbie & Co., although he was the sole member of the firm until 1891 when he admitted his eldest daughter, Mary Elizabeth, to an interest in his business.

He was married April 20, 1868, to Miss Mary
