The impression made by his work in that way has brought not a few imitators-or emulators, if they prefer the termamong them Martha McCulloch Williams, who has recently published a little volume of sketches in the same general vein with the title Field farings: a vagrant chronicle of earth and sky,' which Harper & Bros. have given a dainty red-line setting. The sketches are in much the same vein as Mr. Burroughs' and others; indeed, disclosing quite a keen gift of seeing things, and much grace and pleasantness of expression, though lacking Burroughs' curiously subtle and pervasive spirit of the poetic."-Commercial Advertiser.

One of the chief merits of this book is the impartiality with which all the circumstances and influences affecting every Presidential contest are recorded. It is a valuable book of reference which naturally belongs to the library of every politician and student of American history.

Stevenson's "Beach of Falesá," which it was intended to issue this autumn, has been postponed till next year. THE BAKER & TAYLOR CO. have in press "Greeley on Lincoln," edited by Joel Benton. This address will be supplemented by many letters from Mr. Greeley to Mr. Dana and to a lady friend. SAALFIELD & FITCH have ready "The Columbian Calendar," on which to check off dates made memorable in the year of the World's Fair. The author, William Slater, has prepared a collection of dates, poems, facts and prose excerpts that are made attractive by print and getup. A good souvenir for a friend. THE CALIFORNIA BOOK COMPANY, San Francisco, Cal., have in preparation "The Book of the Fair: an historical, descriptive and picturesque presentation of the world's science, art and industry as viewed through the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893," by Hubert Howe Bancroft. The work will be a broad imperial (12 x 16 inches) of about a thousand pages, and will be printed in the best manner possible. FREDERICK WARNE & Co. have several holi day books, which we shall mention in detail in our next issue, and also several children's books. Besides these they have "Home Acting for Amateurs," consisting of six original comediettas for amateurs, and a line of Society Manuals, of which the separate titles are: "Manners and Rules of Good Society," the standard authority of etiquette in England; Society Small Talk; or, what to say and when to say it;" and "Menus Made Easy," by Nancy Lake. JOHN A. TAYLOR & Co. have ready in their Broadway Series of copyrighted novels "The Last Sigurd," by Dora Russell, and "Asenath of the Ford," by" Rita." Forthcoming volumes will be: "Bob Martin's Little Girl," by David Christie Murray; and 'Inscrutable," by Esmé Stuart, the latter being No. 8 of the Mayflower Library. Recent issues in these two popular series are: Through Pain to Peace," by Sarah Doudney; "The Old Mill Mystery," by A. W. Marchmont, and "Mayflower Tales," by Julian Hawthorne and others. ORANGE JUDD Co. have just ready a fine Library edition of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," to be issued in commemoration of the publication and sale of 100,000 copies of the book that was the pioneer almost in the dialect stories that have become so popular. Mr. Eggleston has written an extended preface for his popular book which has been translated into many languages, explaining many points regarding the origin of the novel and its history to the present day. The edition will be finely printed and appropriately bound. DAVID MCKAY is to publish a volume entitled “In Re Walt Whitman," to be edited by Horace L. Traubel, Dr. Richard M. Bucke and Thomas B. Harned. There will be a number of poems and essays in Whitman's praise that have already been printed but have never been collected, and there will be much that is new. Of the latter class, says a correspondent of The Critic, will be a "Symphony," by John Addington Symonds, some criticism of Whitman by John Burroughs, and various and varied contributions from Dr. Bucke and Messrs. Traubel and Harned. The edition is to be limited to a thousand copies. MACMILLAN & Co. will publish early in November Lord Tennyson's new volume of poems uniform with their edition of his " Foresters." It is entitled "The Death of Enone, Akbar's Dream, and other poems," and the contents, with one exception, are quite new, including the lines entitled "The Silent Voices," which begin, "When the dumb hour clothed in black Brings the dreams about my bed." This the poet wrote and dedicated to his wife but a few days before his death, and at the funeral services in Westminster Abbey it was sung to music written by Lady Tennyson. 64 44 J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY will publish immediately "Night Etchings," a book of poems by A. R. G.; "Handy Book of Literary Curiosities," by William S. Walsh, author of "Literary Life;' My Flirtations," by Margaret Wynman, illustrated by J. Bernard Partridge, and By Subtle Fragments Held," a novel by Mary Fletcher Stevens. They have also ready "The International Magazine Pocket Visiting List" for 1893, arranged for use of practitioners by Dr. J. C. Wilson; and a third edition of "Practical Pathology," a manual for students and practitioners, by Dr. J. Sims Woodhead, which has been revised and greatly enlarged. WEST, JOHNSTON & Co., of Richmond, Va., will issue early in November an American edition of "The History of the United States from the Foundation of Virginia to the Reconstruction of the Union," by Percy Greg, which appeared in England about five years ago, and is now entirely out of print. The work, which was highly spoken of upon its first appearance, claims to be an unbiassed and impartial judgment on what the author designates "the three central events of American history-the Revolution, the Constitution and the Civil War," and is in a measure a vindication of the South. Gen. Wade Hampton has prepared an introduction for this edition. THE UNITED STATES BOOK COMPANY have just ready" The Cradle of the Colombos," a brochure by Rev. Hugh Flattery, tracing the genesis of the great navigator's patronymic, giving an analysis of the Columbian nomenclature and answering the question who was the first Columbus. This pamphlet traces the surname Columbo to the city of Bobbio, Lombardy, Italy, which three hundred years before the birth of Columbus had been made a bishopric of the province of Genoa the Superb. The author also traces an abiding connection between Italy, Ireland and the United States, between the iron crown of Lombardy and the Stars and Stripes, between Bobbio and San Salvador. LOVELL, CORYELL & Co. have ready three new novels: "The Woman Who Stood Between," by Minnie Gilmore; "Scarabæus," the story of an African beetle, by the Marquise Lanza, in collaboration with James Clarence Harvey; and "The Adventures of John Pas-Plus," by the Marquis of Lorne. New miscellaneous books are: Woman -Through a Man's Eyeglass," satirical sketches by Malcolm C. Salaman; "The Truth About Beauty," hints and suggestions for preserving youthful freshness, by Annie Wolf; a new edition of Gosse's "Gossip in a Library;" and new issues of Sydney Luska's "Mea Culpa ;" and of Barrie's "Better Dead" and "My Lady Nicotine" in one volume. HARPER & BROTHERS have just ready Anne Thackeray Ritchie's "Records of Tennyson, Ruskin, Browning," in which, quoting from Præterita," she says, "I have written frankly, garrulously, and at ease, speaking of what gives me joy to remember at any length I like; sometimes very carefully of what I think may be useful for others to know, and passing over in total silence things which I have no pleasure in reviewing." The result is a delightful book, full of illustrations. Other volumes just issued are "The Ivory Gate," by Walter Besant, a new novel written for the purpose of raising his fellow men, of which the scene is laid in London; "Children, Their Models and Critics," by Auretta Roys Aldrich, a book of hints to mothers and educators; and Thomas Knox's" Boy Travellers in Central Europe," this year's contribution to a series that increases in popularity every year. D. APPLETON & Co. will publish at once in their standard series of Good Books for Young Readers, Along the Florida Reef," by C. F. Holder, a story of camping and fishing adventures in company with a naturalist in Florida. The author combines entertainment and instruction, and his book is filled with illustrations which will be prized by every young reader who has ever visited the seashore, or cares for information regarding fishes, shells, and the various forms of marine life. They will also publish at once a striking volume by W. H. Davenport Adams, entitled "Warriors of the Crescent," a story of Oriental magnificence, of glittering campaigns, fatalistic heroism, etc. It will be uniform in style with Church's "Pictures from Roman Life and Story." They have nearly ready a neat and acceptable edition in two volumes of Herndon and Weik's " Abraham Lincoln, the story of a great life," with an introduction by Horace White and with new illustrations. PROFESSOR HENRY DRUMMOND, the author of that remarkably successful book, "Natural Law in the Spiritual World," is a man of a slight and intellectual physical type, with a splendid head. He has a wonderfully magnetic influence over his students. His most famous book first ap peared serially in a journal which soon died, the chapters not having attracted much attention, and the writer feeling a lingering remorse at what share I might have had in its untimely end." Then, The Bookman says, "two leading London publishers were offered the book and declined it. The author had resolved never again to be served with the black seal of literature, and put the doomed sheets back in their pigeon-holes. Mr. M. H. Hodder, however, had read the papers in their serial form, and proposed their publication to the author, who rewrote his pages in much haste, corrected his proofs, and started for a tour in Africa. He heard nothing of his fate for five months' travel, during which he never saw a letter or newspaper, and, engrossed with a geological and botanical survey, he forgot his venture completely. One night, an hour after midnight, three black messengers from the north end of Lake Nyassa disturbed his camp, and delivered the hollow skin of a tiger-cat with a small package of letters and papers. Among them he found a copy of The Spectator containing a review of his book." GOOD THINGS-NEW AND OLD. Roland Graeme, Knight. A Romance of Our Times.
