THE Dublishers' THE AMERICAN Jniversity MICHIGAN eekly BOOK TRADE JOURNAL With which is incorporated the American Literary Gazette and Pubishers' Circular THE CHEMISTRY OF COMMON LIFE. By the late Prof. JAMES F. W. JOHNSTON. A New Edition, revised, enlarged, and brought down to the Present Time, by ARTHUR HERbert Church, M.A., Oxon., Author of "Food: its Sources, Constituents, and Uses.' The Air we Breathe. The Plants we Rear. SUMMARY OF CONTENTS: The Smells we Dislike. The Circulation of Matter. In the number and variety of striking illustrations, in the simplicity of its style, and in the closeness and cogency of its arguments, Professor Johnston's "Chemistry of Common Life" has as yet found no equal among the many books of a similar character which its success originated, and it steadily maintains its pre-eminence in the popular scientific literature of the day. In preparing this edition for the press, the editor had the opportunity of consulting Professor Johnston's private and corrected copy of "The Chemistry of Common Life," who had, before his death, gleaned very many fresh details, so that he was able not only to incorporate with his revision some really valuable matter, but to learn the kind of addition which the author contemplated.

CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Publish this day: The Autobiography of Prince Metternich. Edited by his Son, Prince METTERNICH. Translated by Robina Napier. Two vols., 8vo. With portrait and fac-similes. $5. For twenty years-since it became known at his death that the great diplomatist of the Napoleonic period had left his memoirs-the publication of this book has been looked for with such interest as perhaps no other personal revelations could have aroused. Prince Metternich's own directions kept it back during this time; and this fact, with the complete secresy preserved as to the contents of the manuscript, rightly led to the belief that he had treated the events and persons of his day with an unsparing candor. The announcement alone is of sufficient interest, that we are at last in possession of the autobiography of the statesman who, from the French Revolution to Waterloo, took part in the making of nearly every great treaty, and was himself the negotiator of the greatest; and who from 1806 to 1815, was the guiding mind of the vast combinations which defeated Napoleon and decided the form of modern Europe. Published January 15th: I. The Emotions. By JAMES MCCоsн, D.D., LL.D., President of Princeton College. One vol., crown 8vo, $2. In this little volume of two hundred and fifty clearly printed pages, Dr. McCosh treats first of the elements of emotion, and secondly, of the classification and description of the emotions. He has been led to the consideration of his theme, as he says in his preface, by the vagueness and ambiguity in common thought and literature in connection with the subject, and by "the tendency on the part of the prevailing physiological psychology of the day to resolve all feeling and our very emotions into nervous action, and thus gain an important province of our nature to materialism." The work is characterized by that "peculiarly animated and commanding style which seems to be a part of the author." II. Communism and Socialism in their History and Theory. A Sketch. By THEODORE D. WOOLSEY, D.D., LL.D., lately President of Yale College. One vol., 12m0, $1.50. This book, planned as it is, would have a very unusual timeliness and importance if it came from a new author instead of one of the first authorities in America upon political and economic topics. It is the only comprehensive review of its subject, within small compass, yet exactly meeting the needs of the reader, that is accessible in English, and it may be safely prophesied that beyond the large audience which will take up the volume for purposes of study, there will be a still wider one who will read it from pure interest in the history of communities and social experiments, from the Essenes and Therapeute down to the International.

ESTES & LAURIAT have just ready a new philosophical work. "The Perception of Space and Matter," by Rev. J. E. Walter, of Mount Pleasant, Pa. It is a review of the theories of Reid, Hamilton, Bain, and Spencer, with an original discussion of the cognition of space and matter. Other works to be issued by this house early this season are "The Experiences of a Barrister and Confessions of an Attorney," by Samuel Warren, author of "Ten Thousand a Year;" a series of characteristic essays on "Our Common School System," by Gail Hamilton; the translation by Mr. S. R. Koehler, of Lallanne's work on "Etching," which is accounted the best statement of the processes employed; and "Outlines of the History of France," a single volume abridged by Gustave Masson from Guizot's "Popular History of France," and furnished with maps, chronological index, historical and genealogical tables, and portraits. Scribner & WELFORD have received "Whitaker's Almanack for 1880," with many minor changes and new additions. In the earlier portions of the work the alterations and corrections "are very numerous, not a page having been left untouched." An enlarged edition is also printed in which is given in an appendix much matter that is entirely new, a portion of it being articles which do not ordinarily find their way into works of this kind, but which the editor believed would be found interesting. our observation. It is very carefully graded, and indispensable for singing classes." This house reports a considerable increase of business last year over that of 1878. MR. WORTHINGTON's early editions of the "Souvenirs of Madame Le Brun" were a careful reproduction of the English translation. This, however, was found to be so inaccurate, that Mr. Worthington has had a careful revision made of the entire work by Morris F. Tyler, M.A., of New Haven, whose name now appears on the title-page. The fourth edition, from the corrected plates, is just ready. J. W. BOUTON announces that all subscribers to the Portfolio for the current year whose names are received prior to May 1st will be entitled to a choice of Rembrandt's famous etchings, "Death of the Virgin" or the "Three Trees," as reproduced by the Amand-Durand process, of which the fidelity is marvellous. A series of etchings from North Wales, by Mr. Herkomer, is promised during the volume. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS' earliest publications for the year will be a volume of interesting ana and correspondence of "Lamartine and his Friends," for which new material came into possession of the author in Paris, and the translation of Blanqui's great History of Political Economy,' a work which has been much needed in English libraries. A. D. F. RANDOLPH & Co. have nearly ready the Yale lectures of the past season delivered by Dr. Howard Crosby, and to be published under the title of " The Christian Preacher." It is said that Dr. Crosby's views present this subject in many new lights. ROBERTS BROTHERS will before long publish a new edition of Alger's "History of the Doctrine of a Future Life," a work which may well be accounted a standard, especially since it includes Ezra Abbot's exhaustive bibliography of the subject.
