MISCELLANEOUs.- "The American Cyclopædia" (D. Appleton & Co.), referred to last year as approaching completion, has been issued in full, and has found a demand that is remarkable in comparison with the general condition of the trade, and in consideration of the extent and cost of the work. A "General Index to the Annual Cyclopædia prove an acceptable manual to those who possess sets of this work. "A Dictionary of Works relating to America, from its Discovery to the Present Time," by Joseph Sabin, publishing in parts, bids fair to be in value and completeness a unique piece of bibliography. Another sort of dictionary, the sale of which would be large if it were purchased by all the versifiers whose printed productions show their need of it, is a "Vocabulary of English Rhymes," by the Rev. Samuel W. Barnum (D. Appleton & Co.), noticeable as the first work of the kind that has appeared since the publication of "Walker's Rhyming Dictionary," more than three-quarters of a century ago, upon which it is an improvement.

Among compilations, a remarkable series has been commenced by Mr. Longfellow, under the title "Poems of Places "-a selection of poems suggested by or referring to localities in the British Isles and other countries. It is proposed to make a poetical guide-book for a journey around the world. The plan, if fully Mr. Longfellow's crown, but will make him carried out, will not indeed add any laurels to the benefactor of many, whose perception and enjoyment of the beauties of poetry will be

aided by his cultured and matured taste. The success of Mr. R. H. Stoddard's "Bric-a-brac Series" of abridged personal memoirs has led to a second undertaking of the same sort, under the name of the "Sans-Souci Series" (Scribner). A praiseworthy attempt to revive an interest in the classic authors of Queen Anne's time is Mr. J. Habberton's "Select British Essayists" (Putnams). A more questionable piece of ingenuity is the project of a series of "Condensed Classics (Holt), in which the novels of Scott, Dickens, and other popular writers, are to be abridged, to adapt them to the prevalent habit of hasty reading. That one who has any real appreciation of what is admirable in a great work of imagination could endure an abridgment of it seems to us impossible, and as for the people who read without that appreciation, merely to enjoy the excitement of a good story, it is of very little consequence whether or not they read Scott. Mr. William D. Howells has broken ground in a new (for him) species of literature, of which, however, his novel, "Private Theatricals," suggested the possibility, in his delightful farce, "The Parlor Car" (Osgood). A work that will have a warm welcome from "all whom it may concern"-and they are many-is "Student-Life at Harvard" (Lockwood, Brooks & Co.). Without particular notice of others, we subjoin the following titles:

REPUBLICATIONS. -The English - speaking world is rapidly becoming, for literary and scientific purposes, one community. Books adapted to popular circulation published in one country are at once reproduced in others, and not a few of those which, from the nature of their topics or their necessary costliness, are addressed to more limited circles of readers, also gain a wide diffusion. It is to be regretted that our defective copyright system makes this literary exchange a practical wrong to English authors-a wrong which is avenged by the discouragement of our own authors. Our Government endeavors (mistakenly) to protect American manufactures, but discriminates against American literature. A reference to the literature "consumed" in this country over and above the home product properly supplements the preceding review.

The departments of science, religion, and fiction, are those most numerously represented in the list of reprints. In science, the continued issue and undiminished popular appreciation of the "International Scientific Series" (D. Appleton & Co.) deserve mention. To this have been added Lommel's "Nature of Light," Van Beneden's "Animal Parasites and Messmates," Bernstein's "Five Senses of Man," and Blaserna's "Theory of Sound." To the same publishers American readers are indebted for editions of Darwin's "Variations of Animals under Domestication" and "Climbing Plants," St. George Mivart's "Lessons from Nature" and "Contemporary Evolution," Hartley's "Air and its Relations to Life," Dr. B. W.

ton); three series of the Congregational Lectures: Rev. R.W. Dale's, on "The Atonement " (Randolph); Dr. Mellor's, on "Priesthood," and Dr. Reynolds's, on "John the Baptist" (Barnes); and the Christian Evidence Society's Lectures, on "The Credentials of Christianity," with a preface by the Earl of Harrow by (Whittaker). The issue of what is known in England as the "Speaker's Commentary," under the title of "The Bible Commentary" (Scribner), has been carried forward to the end of the Old Testament. To these may be added Norris's "Rudiments of Theology" (Dutton); "The_Bridge of History over the Gulf of Time, a Popular View of the Historical Evidences of Christianity," by Thomas Cooper (Whittaker); "The Religious Demands of the Age: a Preface to the Works of Theodore Parker," by Frances Power Cobbe (H. B. Fuller); "Endeavors after the Christian Life," by James Martineau (American Unitarian Association); "Mystic London," by Rev. Charles Maurice Davies (Lovell); "The Battle and Burden of Life," by the Rev. J. Baldwin Brown (Whittaker); "The Vision of God, and Other Sermons," by Henry Allon, D. D. (Barnes); and "The Discipline of Drink: an Historical Inquiry into the Principles and Practice of the Catholic Church regarding the Use, Abuse, and Disuse of Alchoholic Drinks, especially in England, Ireland, and Scotland, from the Sixth to the Sixteenth Century," by Rev. T. E. Bridgett (Kelly, Piet & Co., Baltimore).

In fiction there are certain authors whose fame is world-wide. Editions of the works of George Eliot," of William Black, and R. D. Blackmore, are a matter of course; scarcely less so, of Thomas Hardy, Wilkie Collins, Mrs. Oliphant, Mrs. Dinah and Mrs. Georgiana M. Craik, Miss Yonge, and others. Besides the
