HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & Co. have books of great interest and literary importance in Horace Scudder's "Childhood in Literature and Art;" Sir Edward Strachey's "Talk at a Country House;" Rev. Dr. W. B. Wright's "Master and Men," a thoughtful book, contrasting current Christianity with that of Christ; "Life and Letters of John Greenleaf Whittier; "Life, Letters, and Diary of Lucy Larcom ; Autobiography of Frances Power Cobbe 'Life and Letters of Maria Edgeworth; "Familiar Letters of Thoreau;" "Familiar Letters of Walter Scott;" and Pushing to the Front," by Orison Swett Marden, with portraits of famous persons. Few styles of reading are of greater educational value than good biographies of epoch-making people. LONGMANS, GREEN & Co. have just issued some very important books. Memorials of St. James' Palace," by Edgar Sheppard, is in two volumes, with eight copper plates, thirtythree full-page plates, and thirty-four illustrations in the text; History of the Commonwealth and Protectorate, 1649-1660," by Samuel Rawson Gardiner, of which volume I is now ready, shows all the learning and accuracy of its author, and is made valuable by fourteen fine maps; "English History in Shakespeare's Plays," by Beverley E. Warren, has remarkable chronologies, and a fine bibliography and well-made index; and "From Edinburgh to the Antarctic," by W. G. Burn Murdoch, introduces readers to places known only to few travellers, and makes its varied information valuable with many illustrations and maps. ROBERTS BROTHERS have just issued "Life and Adventures of John Gladwyn Jebb," by his widow, with an introduction by Rider Haggard, which is fully noticed elsewhere; volume iv. of the "History of the People of Israel," by Ernest Renan, is ready, and The Woman Who Did," by Grant Allen, and "Prince Zaleski," by M. P. Shiel, have just been added to the Key-Note Series. "Discords," by George Egerton, also in that series, is a book it needs experience and knowledge of life to rightly understand, but a book full of vitality, thought and rare feeling. Among the more recent books of Roberts Brothers are: "As a Matter of Course," by Anna Payson Call; a third edition of "The World Beautiful," by Lilian Whiting; "Ballads in Prose," by Nora Hopper; and "The Great God Pan and the Inmost Light," by Arthur Machen. D. APPLETON & Co. have just ready "The Land of the Sun," by Christian Reid, a picturesque travel romance, in which the author takes her characters from New Orleans to fascinating Mexican cities like Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes, Guadalajara, and of course the City of Mexico. "The Presidents of the United States," made up of contributions by John Fiske, Carl Schurz, William E. Russell, Daniel C. Gilman, Robert C.Winthrop, George Bancroft, John Hay, and others, edited by James Grant Wilson, with twenty-three steel portraits, fac-simile letters, and other illustrations ; "Appleton's Handbook of Winter Resorts" is again revised up to date, and there are several new novels whose authors and titles promise great things. "Vernon's Aunt," by Sara Jeannette Duncan (now Mrs. Everard Cotes), is an East Indian romance, full of irresistible fun; "Dust and Laurels," by Mary L. Pendered, is a fine study in nineteenth century womanhood; and “The Justification of Andrew Lebrun," by Frank Barrett, and At the Gate of Samaria," by William J. Locke, may be highly recommended. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS have in preparation a valuable and representative work by J. J. Jusserand, entitled "A Literary History of the English People," from the earliest times to the present date. The work will be completed in three volumes, of which the first volume, covering from the "Earliest Times to the Renaissance," is now ready. The author of "Piers Plowman, 1363-1399," of "English Wayfaring Life in the 14th Century," and many other erudite studies in literary subjects is eminently fitted for his new undertaking. "The Story of Vedic India," by Z. A. Ragozin, is the new volume in The Story of the Nation Series; and " Prince Henry (the navigator) of Portugal is the latest addition to The Heroes of the Nations Series. Volume III. of H. D. Traill's great work on "Social Life in England" is nearly ready, and the Putnams are also bringing out an edition of Le Gallienne's "The Book-Bills of Narcissus."
