The Publishers' Weekly.

FOUNDED BY F. LEYPOLDT.

DECEMBER 31, 1898.

Publishers are requested to furnish title-page proofs and advance information of books forthcoming, both for entry in the lists and for descriptive mention. An early copy of each book published should be forwarded, as it is of the utmost importance that the entries of books be made as promptly and as perfectly as possible. In many cases booksellers depend on the WEEKLY solely for their information. The Record of New Publications of THE PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY is the material of "The American Catalogue" and so forms the basis of all trade bibliography in the United States.

"I hold every man a debtor to his profession, from the which, as men do of course seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves by way of amends to be a help and an ornament thereunto."-LORD BACON.

THE BOOK TRADE IN PORTO RICO. HITHERTO the accounts of the intellectual capacity of the natives of our new possessions have been anything but favorable. Indeed, newspaper correspondents hitherto, when touching upon the literary output of the Spanish colonies, have been almost unanimous in taking a discouraged and unfavorable view. It is therefore gratifying to have another and more favorable opinion from one who apparently has looked over the situation, in at least one of our recent acquisitions, more carefully than did his predecessors. The correspondent of the Chicago Record recently wrote to his paper that the book shops and printing offices of Porto Rico surprised him by their excellence after he had been disappointed in the newspapers. One dealer in Ponce apologized for his meagre stock of books in English, explaining that the officers and men of the American army had bought almost everything he had. But as he was the agent for D. Appleton & Co., of New York, his stock would be replenished by the first steamer. As it was, several well-known books were on his shelves, and if one wanted to read Spanish the selection was a large one. The correspondent of the Chicago Record found a very good edition of "El Prisoniero de Zenda," by Antonio Hope, and it was in this same Bazar Otero that Richard Harding Davis and Stephen Crane were confronted upon their arrival with posters advertising "Soldiers of Fortune" and The Red Badge of Courage."

In San Juan, the capital, there are said to be at least four book and stationery stores of note which are more than creditable to the place. They are connected with printing and publishing concerns in most cases. They carry books imported from Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris, most of them being in Spanish or French. All the classics of Spain and France are carried in both

languages, and the modern French novel occupies a prominent place on the shelves. The novels of Hugo and Dumas are very popular in the island. A few books printed in Italian are sold, but the Italian classics are to be found in Spanish and in French translations. Creditable editions of the "Divina Commedia " of Dante are for sale in Italian and Spanish, but the translations are in prose instead of verse. American poets seem to be unknown, but Byron's popularity is shown by the multitude of his works on sale. "Don Juan" is a favorite, partly, no doubt, because of its Spanish subject and partly because of its literary pungency-a favorite equality among Spanish-Americans, as The poem among the Spanish themselves. suffers, however, like that of Dante, by not having the metrical translation, and it is hard to understand its attractions in this form. German literature is confined to the works of Schiller and Goethe, and the booksellers report that not many of those are sold. Of course, the larger part of the stock in the bookstores is made up of the work of Spanish writers, classic and modern. The people are said to read Cervantes with as much avidity as if he were satirizing the weaknesses of others instead of their own.

Local production of literature, according to the same authority, has taken utilitarian forms in most part, although some modest fiction and a little creditable verse have been written. Historical monographs relating to the island are numerous, and political pamphlets of various sorts even exceed them in number. The historian of Porto Rico in the future will find much valuable matter in the little books that have issued from obscure presses throughout the island.

THE ASSOCIATION OF EMPLOYING BOOKBINDERS, of New York and vicinity, at its last meeting decided upon a measure which, reasonable as it is, will be regarded as a hardship by the smaller publishing houses. For years the storing, care, and keeping records of surplus sheet and other stock has become so burdensome that in some establishments the item of expense involved threatened loss, if it did not actually cause loss, to the binders of edition work. Some of the larger binderies have been paying $2500 or more a year for no other purpose than for room for carrying, free of charge, sheet stock for their customers, representing, in some cases, an amount in excess of the earnings on the binding done for owners of such stock.

By actual measurement it is demonstrated that 1000 sheets of an average twelvemo of twenty signatures make a pile of sheets six feet
