The book is published by James Campbell, Boston, Mass. JOHN CHURCH & Co., of Cincinnati, have sold over two hundred thousand copies of "Gospel Songs," the new Sunday-school book, containing the songs of the celebrated revivalists, Moody, Sankey, and Bliss. It is used by the largest Sunday-schools and churches in the land. This firm are the publishers also of "Root's Musical Curriculum," a valuable and standard piano instructor, by George F. Root.

The book is rich in anecdotes of interesting people, and promises to be very entertaining. It will contain four steel portraits by Jeens, and will make a stout 12m0 volume (price, $2.50). Mr. J. R.

· LONGEVITY: The Means of Prolonging Life after Middle Age," by John Gardner, M.D., issued by William F. Gill & Co. (151 Washington street, Boston), has made an immediate success. The first edition was exhausted on the day of publication, and a Boston retailer sold one hundred copies of the book within a week. Price, $1.50.

THE demand for the elegant "Lotos Leaves" is such, that a new edition has just been prepared by Messrs. William F. Gill & Co. This house have just issued "The Woman of Fire," by Adolphe Belot, translated from the fiftieth French edition; "The Rainbow Creed," a satirical novel, introducing Henry Ward Beecher, W. H. Murray, and others, and "The Romance of the Honest Woman," a powerful novel by Cherbuliez.

THE many cultivated Americans to whom Sainte-Beuve," the greatest critic the world has seen," has been little more than a name, can now make acquaintance with him through a volume selected from the celebrated "Causeries de Lundi," and just published by Henry Holt & Co. It is called "English Portraits," and contains, among others, articles on Benjamin Franklin, Mary Queen of Scots, Gibbon, Cowper, Lord Chesterfield, and Pope.

OUR readers will be glad to learn that a new novel is ready by the author of "The Wooing O't." Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. have just published "Ralph Wilton's Weird," by Mrs. Alexander-a work worthy of its celebrated author's reputatior.

PORTER & COATES of Philadelphia, have just issued two noteworthy books, Days near Rome," by Augustus J. C. Hare, author of Walks in Rome," Memorials of a Quiet Life," etc., and an exceedingly good novel, "Kater-felto," by G. J. Whyte-Melville, author of Holmby House," etc. This last book ran through three editions in England immediately on publication, and is highly praised by the English reviews as the best that Whyte-Melville has yet written; it is having a run here. P. & C. have in press several highly important works to be issued in April, among which is "Storms:. Their Nature, Classification and Laws, and the means of predicting them, principally from their Embodiment, the Clouds," by Prof. William Bla-sius, formerly Professor of Natural Science in the Lyceum of Hanover. This is a thorough and scientific exposition of the phenomena of the weather, and takes very new ground; it is a. work of the first importance. Another valuable work is "Social Science and National Econo-my," by Robert Ellis Thompson, Professor of Social Science in the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Thompson is editor of the Penn Monthly, and a rising man. There will also appear in April, "The Better Self: Essays for Home Life," by J. Hain Friswell, author of " The Gentle Life," etc. Mr. Friswell's books are very popular, and "The Better Self" is a work that will commend itself to a large number of readers.. "Oldbury," a novel by Annie Keary, is also in preparation, as well as several other books of

interest.

A. D. F. RANDOLPH & Co. have just published a narrative of the wonderful religious awakening in Great Britain and Ireland, in connection with the labors of Messrs. Moody and Sankey. It is a deeply interesting and instructive record of one of the most remarkable religious movements in these latter days of the Church. We hope it may be instrumental in diffusing widely not only the knowledge, but the influence of the revival, which is still going on with undiminished power. 40 cents.

HITTELL'S " 'Resources of California"-the new issue is getting high praise from all quarters for its valuable information on that marvelous country; and Hutching's popular "Guide," etc., to California and the famed Yosemite is a good companion volume to it. Roman & Co., San Francisco, and 27 Howard street, New-York, are the publishers.

“HOURS in a Library," recently issued from the press of Scribner, Armstrong & Co., is receiving universal commendation. The essays are fine specimens of literary criticism, and deal with such authors as Sir Walter Scott, De Quincey, Nathaniel Hawthorne, De Foe, Balzac, etc., etc.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says: "We can commend Hours in a Library' in all honesty as -containing a very captivating series of literary studies."

MR. C. N. BOVEE, of Montclair, N. J., who published, in 1846, a volume of Thoughts, Feelings, and Fancies," and, in 1862, two entitled "Intuitions and Summaries of Thought," which received pleasant commendation from many reviewers as of rich suggestion, has extended the latter into a more ambitious work, called "Summaries of Thought." This he proposes to publish in two large octavo volumes, the first next autumn. It is meant to quicken thought by offering original aphorisms, "brevia," and notes toward essays, rather than elaborated papers, and these are arranged alphabetically under their subjects. Many are of ele

The book is issued in attractive style at $1.75. SHELDON & Co. will publish soon a story on the American Navy. It is called "Love Afloat: A Story of the American Navy." It is by Lieu-vating thought, succinctly and beautifully extenant-Commander J. H. Sheppard, and dedicated, by permission, to Admiral Rodgers. The scene is laid in the West-Indies, in the days when our navy was engaged in driving out the pirates, Besides being a most charming story, it gives a real and vivid picture of life on board an American man-of-war, and in this respect is in striking contrast with Coo-lishing books, notes the Tribune, are very difper's sea-tales.

THE English and American systems of pub

ferent in one particular. In England, not one book in ten, if one in a hundred, is stereo

typed. Here a book printed directly from the type is the exception. This difference is brought about by several causes: the younger country price of labor makes it more costly to reset, if has not so much capital in type, and the higher further editions are called for. The English publisher rarely permits a new edition to go out of his store without the most thorough revision, not only for errors, but that the book may be kept in line with the advance in scholarship since its previous publication.
