WANTED, TRAINED BOOKSELLERS.

From the Buffalo Express.

It is strangely seldom that a cry goes up from a stoic public deprecating the lack of capable and intelligent assistance in our book-stores. Indeed it is a subject which finds less voice in the freedom of the press than in the privacy of the masses. Why not a training-school for would-be booksellers? Just as there are various disciplines which fit the young idea for other occupations, so that a purchaser at Christmas-time, in search of photographs of composers at a book store long noted for its stock of celebrities, need not have had cold water thrown over him by a clerk who pointed at a picture of the Niagara Falls and asked if it was anything like that which he wanted. As nothing could be gained but total repudiation of all composers, present, past, and future, so far as any suggestion that they might be found in the store was concerned, the customer was forced to depart, raging inwardly. This story from real life is matched by a passive spectator, few as there are in the holidays, who overheard the following hurried colloquy between two clerks employed in the same establishment: First clerk: Say! There's a woman here wants Spenser's poems. What shall I tell her?" Second clerk (hesitatingly): "Is it Herbert Spencer's poems?"

[ocr errors]

First clerk: " Yes." Second clerk (confidently): "Tell her we haven't got 'em."-Exit disappointed seeker, doubtless to meet a like fate elsewhere, while the passive spectator was stirred to an active pity for the would-be patronizers of the book-stores.

BENJAMIN F. TAYLOR, the author and lecturer, died at his residence in Cleveland, O., on February 24, aged 68 years. He was born in Lowville N. Y., where early in life he established a university. For twenty-one years he held the position of literary editor on The Chicago Evening Journal, and was correspondent of that paper. He wrote a large number of excellent volumes of both poetry and prose. Some of his most prominent and best known works were " January and June," a book of essays and poems; Pictures in Camp and Field," The World on Wheels," "Old-Time Pictures and Sheaves of Rhyme," Songs of Yesterday," and "The Attractions of Language," which was published over forty years ago. His choicest poems have been collected and printed together (by S. C. Griggs & Co., Chicago), the revision of them occupying a large part of his time last year. In the intervals he wrote his first novel, now in the hands of the publishers, to be called Theophilus Trent." Mr. Taylor leaves a wife and two sons. Of late years Mr. Taylor appeared before literary associations and the general public in the capacity of a popular lecturer, and always with marked appreciation and effect.

OBITUARY.

JAMES B. YOUNG,

MR. JAMES B. YOUNG, member of the firm of E. & J. B. Young & Co., and one of the oldest publishers of this city, died at his home, No. 308 W. 58th St., on Saturday, the 27th ult. Mr. Young was aged fifty-nine, and was born in New York City. He was altogether a self-made man, of strong character, honesty, and manliness-a perfect gentleman withal, and a merchant of the old stamp. In his early manhood he and his brother Edwin, the senior member of the firm, started as grocers in a small way. Some years after they branched out as "rectifiers," but soon abandoned this and went into the bookselling and publishing business. For many years they devoted their attention exclusively to the publication of religious and church works. The firm, who succeeded Pott & Avery and afterwards Pott, Young & Co., had its headquarters at Nos. 10 and 12 Cooper

MISS MARIETTA HOLLEY, the distinguished humorist, better known as "Josiah Allen's Wife," and author of "Samantha at the Centennial," Betsey Bobbitt," etc., etc., who spent all last season at Saratoga (accompanied, of course, by Josiah) wrote up a book taking off the fashions, follies, flirtations, water craze, poodle dogs, lowneck dressing, etc., etc., of that great pleasure resort, has just realized a decidedly handsome figure for the MS. from Hubbard Brothers, of Philadelphia, who propose publishing it this spring, and illustrate it very handsomely and sell it exclusively by subscription.

LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES.

C. N. CASPAR desires to remind those in the trade who have received the blanks and question sheets of his "Directory of the Book, News, and Stationery Trades," and have not yet answered them, to do so without delay. There is no doubt but that those who have not yet answered have overlooked the matter. We take the liberty, therefore, of adding our own request that all cooperate in this matter and that promptly. We have all felt the want of such a work for years, and ought not now let the undertaking suffer from sheer carelessness. It is to the interest of publisher and bookseller alike that the information be as full as desired by the compiler, and, above all, that it be forwarded promptly.

THE twentieth annual issue of " Poor's Manual of the Railroads of the United States" will be ready about July 1.

THE next volume of The Gentleman's Magazine Library, issued in this country by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., will be on "Romano-British Remains."

THE N. D. Thompson Publication Company, New York and St. Louis, are. the publishers of a Life of Abraham Lincoln," by Francis F. Browne. It is largely a compilation from various sources. CASSELL & Co. project a limited édition de luxe of Messrs. Matthews and Hutton's "Actors and Actresses of Great Britain," in five volumes, large paper. They have also in press Yachts and Yachting," by Capt. R. F. Coffin, illustrated by Fred. S. Cozzens.

About fifty pages are provided with printed blanks on which may be recorded the name of the patient, his occupation, address, age, race, height, weight, temperament, hereditary tendencies, habits and modes of life, previous disease, subjective symptoms, objective symptoms, disease, duration of illness and treatment and progress. To these are added about 200 blank pages. The whole is neatly and substantially bound.

GINN & COMPANY, Boston, will publish at once Hermann Lotze's "Outlines of Logic," translated and edited by Prof. George T. Ladd. This work discusses both pure and applied logic. Under the first head come the formation of concepts, the theory of judgment, a system of the forms of judgment, the doctrine of argument or the drawing of conclusions, the figures of Aristotle, etc. The applied logic presents the application of the the process of thought in discovery. The logic forms of conception, the adducing of proof, and is followed by a brief treatise on the Encyclopæ dia of Philosophy, in which are set forth the definition and method of Theoretical Philosophy, of Practical Philosophy, and of the Philosophy of Religion. This volume will be about one-fifth larger than the others, and will make an admirable brief text-book in logic.

D. C. HEATH & Co. announce for early publication a translation of "Compayré's Elementary Psychology," which has just appeared in Paris. The translation will be made by a well-known educational writer, and it is anticipated that the work will be invaluable in normal school work. They will issue, this month, "Novelletten Bibliothek," standard short stories in German, selected from the best modern writers, with explanatory and literary notes by Dr. Wilhelms Bernhardt, of the Washington (D. C.) High School; " Method in Education," translated from the Italian of Antonio Rosmini Serbati, by Mrs. William Gray:

HOWARD CHALLEN, 150 Nassau St., N. Y., has now ready a new "Subscription Record," a S. C. GRIGGS & Co., Chicago, have now in press blank-book arranged so that names of subscribers a novel that is calculated to excite the curiosity can be entered alphabetically and by first vowel for of the reading public and one which will have adquick reference, adapted to last four years, show-ditional interest now, as being the last volume ing renewals as well as those who have been subscribers.

MCHALE, ROHDE & Co., 9 Cortlandt St., N. Y., dealers in old and new books, have issued a bright-looking perpetual calendar. The design in five colors is a sunny one, of lake and meadow, and gamboling cherubs-the whole under the sway of a symbolic figure of Art. The calendar, we believe, may be had gratis upon application.

THE CENTURY Co. will issue their war book, "Battles and the Leaders of the Civil War," edited by R. U. Johnson and C. C. Buel, by subscription only. It is to be issued in about thirty-two parts at 50 cents each. They will publish shortly, under the title of "The Pharaohs of the Bondage and the Exodus," the lectures on Egypt delivered before his congregation this winter by Dr. C. S. Robinson.

WM. S. DUNCOMBE & Co., San Francisco, Cal., have published a Physicians' Clinical Case and Record Book designed for easy and rapid note

prepared for the press by the author. It is from the pen of the late Dr. B. F. Taylor, author of

Between the Gates," "World on Wheels," etc., and is said to be decidedly unique in character and original in design, Its title is "Theophilus Trent, or, old times in the oak openings," depicting scenes and incidents of pioneer life forty years ago. Mr. Taylor's acknowledged versatility and genius, and his marvellous descriptive power promise a most fascinating volume. The essays on Goethe, which were read before the Milwaukee Literary School last August, are soon to be published by Messrs. Griggs under the title "Poetry and Philosophy of Goethe," edited by Marion V. Dudley. The great diversity of opinions regarding his life, and the diversity of interpretations which his writings have given rise to, render essays like these, which are the productions of some of the most faithful and diligent students of German literature in this country, of deep interest, not only to the admirers of the great German poet and philosopher, but to students of literature

four months, notwithstanding attacks of bodily pain, he made research into and portrayed—from original sources, according to his custom-a period of four generations, rich in events of universal importance." The period embraced by this volume extends from the death of Otto the Great to the period of the Crusades.

generally. "Masters of the Situation, or, some secrets of success and power," by W. J. Tilley, another new book soon to be published by this house, promises to be of great interest to all classes of readers, and to young men especially. It will treat of the always interesting and always important question of success in life, and the means by which it is attained. "Promptness." Individuality,' Genius," "Application," " Enthusiasm," Manners," Opportunity," "Masters of the Situation," etc., are some of the topics discussed. The subjects quoted convey but an inadequate idea of the scope and richness of the work, which is free from any symptoms of didactic dry-of standard works, many works in fine bindings ness, and the discussions of which teem with apposite illustrations.

MR. E. J. W. GIBB, the translator of "The History of the Forty Vezirs," is at work upon a translation of the thirteenth century French romance of "Aucassin and Nicolette," which will be published by Mr. Redway, of London.

APROPOS of the 50th anniversary of the existence of the firm of B. Tauchnitz, the Freiherr D. Christian K. Bernhard von Tauchnitz has written an account of the publications of the firm, which deals exhaustively with the subject of the Tauchnitz Series.

THE Incorporated Society of Authors, writes G. W. S. to the Tribune, on February 26, "will hold during March a series of conferences on subjects within the scope of their organization. The first occurs next Wednesday (March 3) with the Earl of Lytton in the chair, when Mr. Walter Besant delivers an address on the maintenance of literary property. He intends to discuss the present system of payment by publishers to authors and expose the proportions of profit obtained by the authors and publishers respectively. This society is careful not to take an attitude of hostility to the publishing trade, but is quietly doing a useful work in advising authors and enabling them to protect themselves in their dealings with publishers."

NOTES ON CATALOGUES.

BANGS & Co. have in preparation a catalogue of the extensive library of the late Richard M. Hoe, which includes, besides a choice collection and a fine collection relating to printing.

WITH the second volume of its "Digesta Shakespeareana" (now in press) the New York Shakespeare Society completes its effort to reduce the entire body of Shakespearean literature (books, pamphlets, magazine, and the more notable newspaper articles) to a topical index to January 1, 1887. The society proposes to issue annually a year-book giving the title of every publication throughout the world on Shakespearean matters, and also with brief statements of the sum of each, and the judgment of the society as to whether the same may be new matter, or discussion of previous statement, discovery, or theory.-N. Y. Tribune.

A FRENCH and English Dictionary of the Cant, Slang, and Quaint expressions used in the high and low life of old and new Paris is indeed a novelty. Such a work is shortly to be issued by subscription in the form of an édition de luxe. The author is Prof. A. Barrèra, of the R. M. Academy, Woolwich, who wishes to give the benefit of his labors to the lover of philological curiosities as well as the English readers of modern French fiction. This Argot dictionary furnishes an English slang equivalent of the English MAY.-The fourth part of Lewis J. Cist's collection of rendering, together with many quotations from French and English authors. It is not merely a dry compilation, as it contains much historical and philological matter, anecdotes and information on the social habits of that class of people it deals with. The book is accompanied by a frontispiece drawn by Godefroy Durand.

THE seventh volume of Ranke's history, just published in Germany, contains some interesting personal facts about the late historian. There was never any pause in his activity, says the writer of the preface to the new volume, life and activity being one and the same to him. The editor adds: "He resumed his last and greatest undertaking immediately on the conclusion of the preceding part. To the usual passion for work was joined a presageful impatience, which so stimulated his intellect that during a period of
