GEORGE P. HUMPHREY, Rochester, N. Y., may be congratulated upon having issued a book that for daintiness of manufacture compares favorably with the work of some of our leading publishers. Alexander Smith's celebrated book of essays written in the country, entitled "Dreamthorpe," which raised endless discussion in literary London more than a generation ago, has been brought out in a neat 16mo volume, delicately printed and chastely bound in smooth green cloth. It contains a portrait of the author and other illustrations by Louis J. Rhead. Alexander Smith was born in Scotland in 1830. He was first destined for the ministry, but circumstances made him a designer of lace patterns in a Glasgow factory. From there he published his first book, which made a sensation among leading writers of his day and brought him the Secretaryship of the University of Edinburgh, which he retained through life. His style was the admiration of Charles Lamb. The essays included in this pretty volume are: On the writing of essays;" On death and the fear of dying; "William Dunbar;" "A lark's flight;" Christmas ;" "Men of letters;""On the importance of a man to himself; "A shelf in my bookcase; ""Geoffrey Chaucer;" "Books and Gardens;" and On Vagabonds."

THE biography of Sarah Bernhardt, which is in preparation, will not be ready till September. Special interest will, it is understood, attach to numerous letters of the actress, which the work will contain.

WILLIAM ANDREWS, of Hull, proposes to publish in November an illustrated volume descriptive of " Obsolete Punishments." It will deal with the docking-stool, branks, pillory, etc., and will contain a number of quaint pictures from old prints and drawings.

WILLIAM HEINEMANN, London, has just issued Archdeacon Farrar's impressions of the Passion

Play at Ober-Ammergau. The book is daintily

gotten up, and contains views of that small Bavarian village which is now attracting a weekly average of four thousand visitors from all parts of the globe.

THE Russian police have seized all the copies of the memoirs of the Princess Dolgorouki, which has just been published in St. Petersburg. The book is said to be exceedingly interesting in some parts, on account of the writer's knowledge of some inside facts concerning the imperial family, and for a very graphic account of the occurrences which took place on the eve of the assassination of the late Czar.

BROCKHAUS & Co., of Leipsic, have secured the rights for the publication of the book Emin Pasha is writing about his life and discoveries in Africa. Emin, in accepting the publishers' offer, sent word that it would be some time before he could complete the book, particularly as the new expedition that has taken him into the interior again will, for the present, demand about all his time and activity.

CHARLES BOOTH, the author of "Life and Labor in East London," is well on his way with the second volume of his great survey of industrial London, which is to be completed in four volumes. The second instalment will probably be ready next March, and will be general, not local, in its scope, with special reference, however, to the It will be illussouthern and central districts. trated by a "poverty-map for all London," carefully colored to show the various grades of social misery described in the work on the East End. Another special feature will be a minute and elaborate examination of the social problems which the work of the Board schools has brought to light. The publishers are Williams & Norgate, London.

THE long-sought source of the "Rules of Civility," contained in a boyish manuscript of George Washington, has, so says the London Athenæum, been discovered. Mr. M. D. Conway was led to suspect a French origin by the discovery that Washington's pastor at the time (1745) was a Huguenot named Marye. On the suggestion of Dr. Garnett, of the British Museum, Mr. Conway examined an old work in Latin and French, "Communis Vitæ inter Homines Scita," and has found in it nearly all of Washington's 110 rules. In 1888 Dr. Toner printed in Washington City a transcript of the "Rules," so far as they are now legible. An edition, with the omissions supplied within brackets, and a monograph on the whole subject, will be prepared by Mr. Conway.
