A Convention of Music Publishers of the

L'Athenæum Francais gives an account of the report presented to the seventeenth jury of the Universal Exhibition of 1851, by M. Ambroise Firmin Didot, on Printing, the Book and Paper Trade. After having reviewed printing in the countries which have contributed to the Exhibition of 1851, M. Didot examines the different methods of publishing, &c. The commencement of the second part of the report treats of the most important question of all-that of literary property.

EDWARD LIVERMORE is about to publish the letters of the somewhat notorious newspaper correspondent, Mr. Philander Doesticks, which will be issued in an illustrated volume. The author, Mortimer N. Thompson, Esq., says in his Preface, among other good things: "Accident has brought these 'airy nothings' into notice; and although many of the thoughts are not novel in themselves, but are merely whimsically put, and not a few of the whims are borrowed unhesitatingly from others, they are dressed in a lingual garb so quaint, eccentric, fantastic or extravagant, that each lender would be sadly puzzled to know his own."

Mr. J. G. Holland, the editor of the "Springfield Republican," and author of the late work on the "History of Western Massachusetts," has just commenced, in the columns of his paper, an original novel, founded on a historical basis, and which will give something of the Romance of the History of the Connecticut Valley. It will be entitled "The Bay Path."

The work is divided into three parts. (The School of Chemistry.) 8th edition. 8vo. THE FIRST PART gives an outline history of the territory embraced within the four counties of Hampden, Hamp200 shire, Franklin, and Berkshire, commencing with the first settlement on the Connecticut River, at Springfield, by Pyn(Com-chon and his associates in 1636, and closing with the termination of the last war with England. This sketch contains a full account of the early Indian, and French and Indian wars, in which the settlements on the Connecticut suffered so deeply; a history, drawn largely from original sources, of the notorious Shays' Rebellion, and accounts of all those local movements in which the whole territory was interested, and those state and national events into which it was brought in

common relation.

THE SECOND PART consists of a series of papers on the Geology, Agriculture, Railroads, Newspapers, and Education and Educational Institutions of the section. Geology is treated scientifically and economically, and under the latter head, the various iron, marble, soapstone, lime and glass establishments are noticed. The other interests are treated historically and statistically, in detail. This part of the work is very valuable.

THE THIRD PART occupies the second volume entirely, and embraces the separate histories of the one hundred Towns that form Western Massachusetts. This part of the work is invaluable. It contains a mass of important historical matter, requiring vast labor to collect, verify and arrange, and is the most important and elaborate collection of town histories ever made in the United States.

Price of the work, in muslin, $2 50, or $1 25 per volume; in half calf binding, $2 per volume. A copy of the work will be sent by mail, post paid, to any part of the Union, on the receipt of $3. Orders sent to CHARLES B. NORTON, Agent for Libraries, will be attended to,

The following extracts, from a large mass of notices and reviews of this work, are presented, as showing the manner in which it has been received by the press:

high rank among other valuable works of a similar character.
(From the New York Independent.)

One of the fullest and completest local histories extant,
and highly creditable to the tact and industry of the author.
(From the Pittsfield Eagle.)

As a whole, the History of Western Massachusetts is a work which entitles the author to the gratitude and patronage of the people of this section, and we hope he will receive a liberal reward for his labors.

(From the Hartford Courant)

It is a work of great research and labor, and contains the
most valuable information in print, respecting the region of
the State of which it treats. As a writer, Dr. Holland holds
a pen not surpassed by any in New England; so that, in con-
nection with his faithfulness and industry, there is every
warranty that he has made a readable and interesting book.

(From the Holyoke Telegraph.)
Western Massachusetts owes a debt of gratitude to Dr.
Holland, which she can never repay. He has gathered to-
gether her choicest local treasures, and presented to her the
beautiful casket they have formed. Certainly to every son
of her soil the History of Western Massachusetts must be a
vade mecum. It cannot be otherwise. ***** We
know that Dr. Holland has been indefatigable in his labors
for the preparation of this work, and as a local history it is
invaluable.

(From the Albany Journal)

(From the Greenfield Gazette and Courier.)

It is the most extended and minute local history ever attempted, and no practical pains have been spared to render it invaluable as a book of instruction and reference, in relation to the section to which it is devoted. Every family should have a copy.

(From the Holyoke Mirror.)

The work is truly a valuable one, and should be in the possession of every family in the State. It should also be introduced into all our schools.

(From the Boston Post.)

When the series of articles was begun, the early numbers found many admiring readers. The author was encouraged to extend the field of his research, and he ended by producing an elaborate history of Western Massachusetts, with notices of its productions, manufactures, geography, and geology, and with historical sketches of al its towns and villages. As might be supposed, his volumes are not only valuable for reference, but are specially interesting to those connected with our Western counties, by blood or friend

To those whose early associations are connected with that section of Massachusetts, the work must prove one of great value, while by the student of general history it will be regarded as a worthy addition to the list of minute local records, considered so important as "good authority." No man was better qualified for the task, so well accomplished, tuan Dr. Holland.
