lish a volume of "Studies in Theism."

HENRY JAMES' new story, "Confidence," which begins in the Midsummer Holiday Scribner, deals, like so many of his others, with Americans living in Europe-a habit of writing which the author calls " incorrigible."

MR. CHARLES F. RICHARDSON, who will soon publish, through J. B. Lippincott & Co., a volume of poems entitled "The Cross," is already well known by his book on American colleges, and by his "Handbook of American Literature."

A NEW volume in the Appletons' New Handy-Volume series is "The World's Paradises," a collection of sketches by S. G. W. Benjamin, describing places delightful in climate and scenery, a large proportion being islands, as the Sandwich Islands, Bermudas, and Channel Islands.

EBEN SHUTE, Boston, has published a novelty in the "Temperance Pledge Autograph Album." At the head of each page are printed the words: "We hereby promise to abstain at all times from the use of all intoxicating liquors as a beverage." When a person writes his autograph, he signs this pledge.

D. VAN NOSTRAND has just ready for publication an important treatise on "The Silk Goods of America," being a brief account of the recent improvements and advances of silk manufacture in this country. It has been prepared under the auspices of the Silk Association, and is intended for general as well as professional readers.

WE have the announcement of the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition for 1879 (seventh year), Sept. 10th-Oct. 11th. "Books, stationery, printing, binding, papers, etc.," constitute class 26 (Department F-Domestic Manufactures), and medals and other prizes will be awarded. Detailed information can be had from H. MacCollum, Secretary, Cincinnati.

HARPER & BROS. have in preparation a book by Miss Anna Dickinson called "The Ragged Register." The supposititious narrator, wishing to go to some summer resort, determines to consult a ragged manuscript register of her former visits to various places of the sort for the purpose of making a present choice, and the book gives the reminiscences of summerresort life which the consultation calls forth.

MESSRS. DIXON & SHEPARD, publishers of the Alliance, of Chicago, are just issuing "In the Toils," a realistic narrative, under the guise of fiction, of the experience of a family emigrating to Utah and falling into the toils of Mormonism. Its incidents are true, and are said to illustrate the workings of Mormonism very much as Uncle Tom's Cabin" unfolded the effects of slavery.

BOWEN, STEWART & Co., Indianapolis, will publish early next month" Acta Pilati," purporting to be "the official report of Pontius Pilate to the Emperor Tiberius concerning the crucifixion of Christ,” transcribed from the MS. now in the Vatican, with an introduction, his torical and critical notes by Rev.

edition in a neat 12mo.

MR. D. R. LOCKE (“Nasby") will bring out in September a story, which has been running

in the columns of the Blade since last Novem

ber," Andersonville: a Story of Southern Prisons." It gives the actual experience of a boy, a private in an Illinois cavalry regiment, who was captured in a raid into the enemy's country. The hook will be illustrated with several hundred engravings, largely taken from rebel photographs in possession of the author.

THE thirteenth volume of the works of Charles Sumner is announced as in press at Lee & Shepard's, and already far enough advanced to insure its publication in the fall. It is further stated that two other volumes, concluding the set, will appear next year. This indicates that any doubt which heretofore existed of the completion of the entire work, and of which sev eral reports have reached the public, is now without real foundation.- Tribune.

S. C. GRIGGS & Co., Chicago, have just ready "Somebody's Ned," a new novel by a Chicago author, and pronounced by an able critic to be "a masterly work of great vigor and power." They will also issue very shortly a new work by Benj. F. Taylor, author of "Songs of Yesterday," "The World on Wheels," etc. It will be a volume of sketches under the characteristic title of "Summer Savory, Gleaned from Rural Nooks in Pleasant Weather."

IVISON & PERRY, Auburn, N. Y., have recently published an interesting contribution to the local history of New York State, by Drs. C. Hawley and J. G. Shea, under the title of " Early Chapters of Cayuga History." The work describes the labors of the French Jesuits among the Cayugas, with such notes, historical and topographical, as serve to connect these early narratives with our own times, and an account of the Sulpitian Mission among the Emigrant Cayugas about Quinté Bay in 1668.

THOMAS WHITTAKER has nearly ready "Simple Lessons for Home Use," a collection of articles on subjects in which every one is more or less interested. Among the questions discussed are "Our Bodily Life," "Food," " Drink," Cookery,"" Clothing," "Astronomy," "Birds," Flowers," 'Money,' "Air and Ventilation." Each subject has been treated by a specialist, and the book will be printed in type which is to be "as plain and readable as the subjectmatter itself."

HOUGHTON, OSGOOD & Co. will presently issue, in a neat volume, the proceedings at the funeral of the late William Lloyd Garrison. Mr. Garrison's biography has been already taken in hand by his family. Two sons are well-known literary workers, Mr. Wendell Phillips Garrison, of the Nation, and Mr. Frank J. Garrison, who is with Houghton, Osgood & Co., and the latter is gathering the materials. He is anxious to obtain from his father's many correspondents a full collection of his letters, and may be addressed at his residence, No. 125 Highland Street, Roxbury, Mass. The biography will not be hurried, and will be made as complete and authentic as possible.

A BERLIN bookseller, notes the Nation, has made a list of translations from the German published during the previous four months in countries between which and Germany there is no copyright treaty. Altogether 108 translations have been issued, the Netherlands having published 38, the United States 23, Russia 18, Scandinavia 17, Spain II. As regards the character of the works translated, 30 belonged to the department of belles-lettres, 14 to medicine, II to theology, 8 to natural science, 9 to juvenile literature, 6 to the stage, 3 to pedagogics, 2 to law.

PORTER & COATES will publish August Ist "The Prehistoric World," translated from the French of Elie Berthet. In this work, under the form of a story, the author has vividly portrayed life during those very remote periods the records of which are to be found only in the bones of animals and the implements used by man which have been discovered in various parts of Europe, and in the remains of the villages built by the Cave and Lake dwellers. The story is founded on the latest scientific researches, and so full and complete have these been that the author is enabled to present to the reader a close picture of life in the prehistoric times. The descriptions of nature, of the animals then inhabiting Europe, and the com

PERHAPS no recent publication has created so great an interest among thoughtful people as Mallock's "Is Life Worth Living?" G. P. Putnam's Sons will issue in a few days a criti-parison of the then condition and appearance cal review of this volume, in which the reviewer takes issue with Mr. Mallock and attempts to prove the fallacy of his conclusions. This monograph is from the pen of a well-known writer, and it will undoubtedly be received with much interest by the thousands who have read the latest attempt to answer the question "Is Life Worth Living?"

D. LOTHROP & Co. have just issued in one volume two of "Pansy's" good stories, "Miss Priscilla Hunter" and "My Daughter Susan," which have heretofore been published separately. Among the new books on the eve of publication by Lothrop are "Some Snow-Hill Girls," a story of school-girl life by "Mitchella" "Ruth Erskine's Crosses," a sequel or continuation of the popular Chautauqua Girls books, by "Pansy;" "The Crystal River turned into the Black Railroad Country," a famous temperance allegory by S. M. Hanks, with an introduction by Rev. Alexander McKenzie ; 'Stories and Pictures of Wild Animals," "Stories and Pictures of Domestic Animals," and the "One-Syllable Story-Book," all three containing full-page pictures (Wide-Awake size), and stories in large type by Anna F. Burnham, treasuries of instruction and delight for little folks; and Miss Yonge's "Young Folks' History of Rome," fully illustrated, the fourth volume in this excellent series, to be followed before long by "France."

THE Literary World for July 5th presents an interesting account, with specimen page, of Rev. Dr. Henry M.

These lectures were originally delivered at Andover Seminary, and afterwards at Oberlin, but will not be published for some time yet. The apcollections" topendix purports to be only wards a bibliography of Congregational literature, but it will contain about 6000 titles, and be as exhaustive as Dr. Dexter's great learning and industry, aided by experts, can make it. It will enumerate all works bearing not only on the history of Congregationalism proper, but on its environment. All proofs down to the year 1700 have been sent to the British Museum and the Bodleian Library for professional revision, and all the proofs will have in this country the friendly revision of such competent scholars as Prof. Dexter, of Yale, Dr. Trumbull, of Hartford, Mr. Moore, of the Lenox Library, Prof. Winsor, and also of other eminent bibliographers.
