NEWS AND NOTES.

Messrs. A. C. Armstrong & Sons' new edition of Hallam's Complete Works has started off with a rush. The first thousand sets were all taken within ten days of issue. The six volumes are sold at $7.50; and such a demand for such a work is encouraging.

- Among the spring announcements of educational books by D. Appleton & Co. are the second part of Dr. Townsend's Art of Speech, "Studies in Oratory and Logic"; and Letters and Lessons in Language, by J. H. Stickney, in which latter the three divisions are Invention, Conversation, Literature. In the series of "Clas. sical Writers," edited by John Richard Green, the next volume will be Sophocles, by Lewis Campbell, and Virgil, by H. Nettleship. Appleton's American Standard Geographies will come later. Greek for Beginners, by Rev. Joseph B. Mayor, is revised and edited as a companion to Hadley's Greek Grammar. The First Three Books of Homer's Iliad, by Prof. Henry Clark Johnson, has references to Hadley's, Crosby's, and Goodwin's Grammars. A Manual of Commercial Correspondence is by Prof. H. M. Monsanto. Among other coming books is Herbert Spencer's Ceremonial Institutions, Vol. II, and Part IV of the Principles of Sociology.- Scientific Billiards, by Albert Garnier, will interest enthusiasts in this fine game. It will have over

one hundred colored illustrations.

-The fancy for decoration which expends itself in painting flowers upon book covers has some beautiful examples in a number of favorite religious works, thus prepared for Easter gifts by E. P. Dutton & Co. The list includes The Imitation of Christ, The Christian Year, Faber's Hymns, Bishop Huntingdon's Elim, and other favorites among devotional works.

- Mr. Sidney Lanier develops a new theory
in his coming text-book, The Science of English
Verse. Casting aside traditional rules, he applies
the modern discoveries in acoustics to the mak-

ing of poetry. He studies English verse in its
relations to sound as resulting in melody, and
thus establishes for the writer in rhyme a basis
of scientific principles. Charles Scribner's Sons,
who will be the publishers, have also in prepara-
tion The Origin and Growth of the Psalms, by
the late Prof. Murray, of Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, which is practically a study of Hebrew
devotional poetry.

-Henry Holt & Co. will have ready, about
the 10th of March, Austin Dobson's Vignettes in
Rhyme, and Practical Keramics for Students.

The sixth volume is now ready of The Li-
brary of Universal Knowledge, which, to say the
least, is the cheapest encyclopedia in the market.
It will contain the latest edition of Chambers's
Encyclopedia in fourteen volumes, and in six
additional ones a separate encyclopedia on topics
of special interest to American readers; the
whole twenty volumes being sold for $10 by the
American Book Exchange.

- I. K. Funk & Co., of New York, have
started the "Standard Series," which is to com-
prise standard books, and sell at from 10 to 25
cents a number; a distinguishing feature is a
manila cover.
The first number contained Spur-
geon's John Ploughman's Talk and Carlyle's
Choice of Books. No. 2 will be The Manliness of
Christ, by Thomas Hughes, and No. 3 will con-
tain Macaulay's Essays on Milton, Dryden, Bun-
yan, Samuel Johnson, and History.

--

- D. Appleton & Co. have taken possession of their new wholesale quarters at Nos. 1-5 Bond street, New York. The extensive manufactory of the firm remains at Williamsburgh, and is one of the largest in the country, employing nearly a thousand persons the year round.

- Lord Lytton is about to publish a number

of poems, fruits of the leisure he has snatched from official duties of late. They are chiefly

translations, or rather metrical versions, from the Persian, including one of the famous prayer of Haroun Al Raschid.

- The price of Tyler's History of American Literature has been raised from five to six dollars. A good sign both for the book and of the times.

Wm. Wood Co., of New York, announce a work on nervous exhaustion, by Dr. George M. Beard, on which he has been engaged for several years. It will be occupied mainly with the results of his own researches and observations.

and begun in Paris the publication of a new tale. - April next is expected to see the publication of the last volume of Mr. Martin's Life of the Prince Consort.
