Matthew, Ja. E. The literature of music. New York, A. C. Armstrong & Son, n.d. (The book-lover's library.) 10+281 p. 16°. $1.25. " In his preface the author states the object of this book to be "to assist the inquirer in his search for the most useful works in the principal departments of musical literature, and at the same time to give some account of such books as are of interest, either for their curiosity, for their scarceness, or for the important influence they may have exercised in a past age. The opening chapter discusses the literature of ancient music; the closing one the bibliography of music. The first bibliography of music known to the author was begun in 1762 and completed in 1767. Since then the "books which are no books," relating to music, have grown to considerable numbers. Other chapters discuss dictionaries of music, the literature of sacred music, of the opera, of musical instruments, etc. TAILORING.

PSEUDONYMOUS ent writes: "It has been reported that the 'Duchess' (Mrs. Hungerford) has sold her pseudonym, and that the books now being issued by the Duchess' are really written by another person than Mrs. Hungerford. If this is so, are not those libraries entering books under the real name rather than under the pseudonym giving false information? This is simply a straw in favor of using the pseudonym when the author persists in using one. IMPERFECT SETS. Recognizing the importance of periodical literature in modern libraries, THE BOSTON BOOK COMPANY established its Library Department with the idea that a definite service could be rendered overworked librarians by an intelligent effort to supply them with sets of periodicals and Society transactions bibliographically complete and materially perfect. Under the old method, librarians were forced to buy such sets or parts of sets as appeared on booksellers' catalogues, or were privately offered to them, taking their chances as to the completeness or perfectness of the sets. Before the publication of "Poole's Index" the shortcomings of such a mode of purchase were not apparent, because the deficiencies in sets so bought were not brought to special notice; but in these days of thorough indexing the constant showing up of tantalizing defects obliges the conscientious librarian to assume the labor of collation, and the subsequent vexatious time and money cost involved in trying to make the defects good. It is exactly this burdensome and wasteful labor which THE BOSTON BOOK COMPANY has endeavored to save librarians, by supplying only sets which have passed through the hands of a conscientious and carefully trained staff of collators We find, however, that some librarians still prefer to buy sets by the old method, and to such librarians we wish to make it known, that while we consider our method the economical and preferable one to libraries in the end, we are entirely willing to sell uncollated sets to such as prefer to buy them. We have always a great many uncollated sets on hand (because conscientious collation is a tedious and time-consuming work) and we can offer them as cheaply as any other dealers. In such cases we will make an offer of the volumes actually on hand, but will not undertake that every page, title-page, index, supplement, appendix, plate, or map is supplied, as we do ordinarily. THE BOSTON BOOK COMPANY only asks that a fair comparison of price and quality be made, and is perfectly willing to sell to librarians on any method they may prefer. Remainder Stock of Poole Sets. We have bound up for libraries a few sets of two periodicals that are to be included in the next supplement to "Poole's Index," viz.: "The Law Quarterly Review," of London, 12 vols., cloth, $30.00 (regular price in law sheep, $48.00, net); and "The Juridical Review," of Edinburgh, 7 vols., cloth, $24.50 (regular price in law sheep, $33.25, net). This special price for cloth sets applies only to our stock now on hand. These two sets are recommended to the attention of librarians of General Libraries. Sample numbers will be sent on application. THE BOSTON BOOK CO., 15%1⁄2 Beacon Street, BOSTON, MASS. bas. 190 fr. CLARAC.
