THE AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL CATALOGUE, whose value to the trade is proved by the fact that it is now in its nineteenth year, claims to be the best practical aid to the dealer in or buyer of school-books. With its alphabetical arrangement by authors, its separate class-index, carefully sub-classified to an extent not followed by any other catalogue, its completeness and accuracy, it is presented as the best finding-list, the most convenient order-list, and the. most satisfactory class-catalogue for school use. The catalogue was entirely remade last year, to omit books which have dropped out of use and to include all live books, and it will add this year all new books (ready or to be ready for the fall) in their proper alphabetical place.

The first of these is entitled "The Tariff History of the United States," consisting of various essays by F. W. Taussig, which have already appeared in magazines or in book-form, and thus united present an almost complete history of tariff legislation from 1789 to 1887. The other is "Industrial Liberty," by John M. Bonham, who aims to keep in view the principles rather than the statistics of his subject, and makes an analysis of the salient political and industrial evils of our time. T. B. PETERSON & BROS. have in press a literary novelty, entitled "Run Down," by George D. Cox, of Philadelphia. The author, says the Press of that city," is well known in theatrical and journalistic circles. His novel is on the same lines as Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,' but the subjects of double identity and the tendency of a really good man to commit evil deeds are treated in a radically different manner, with entire probability and pronounced human interest. The hero is Father Fano, a highly gifted Catholic priest of the Order of Jesuits. Most of his seeming sins take an artistic turn, but he is also involved in a love-scrape and figures in several gambling episodes." THE WORTHINGTON Co. will publish at once "Studies in Criticism," a volume of seven essays by Florence Trail. The essays are entitled Pools Filled with Water, Glimpses into French Literature, Genius and Religion, Genius and Morality, History in Literature, Skepticism of the Heart, The Decline in Art. It is said to be a very remarkable book written by a new writer of great power. It makes enjoyable reading by its clearly defined ideas, the originality revealed in the unexpected relationship of certain ideas; the 146 daring yet dogmatic expression of opinion, the vivid impression produced by an extraordinary command of the English language, and above all the author's inexhaustible enthusiasm and delight in study. 145 142 151 147 151 126 152 146 Copyright Notices. 146 147 146 146 LITTLE, BROWN & Co. have now ready "Leech's Pictures from Punch," an entirely new issue of John Leech's "Pictures of Life and Character, from the Collection of Mr. Punch," comprising 146 altogether nearly 4000 sketches, illustrating every 146 phase of social life, 1842-1864, printed on finesurfaced paper, from new electrotypes of the original wood blocks, and issued in three handsome cloth bound quarto volumes, with gilt edges; The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or, the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life," by Charles Darwin, sixth edition, in new large type with ad 150 151 147 146 THE TRUTH-SEEKER CO., N.
