    The trade always look forward to the appearance of Messrs . Raphael Tuck & Sons ' Christmas novelties . This year the designs

    are especially rich , and many of them are sure to have a run . We would recommend some attention being paid to the Mirror Cards

    the Triptych Winter Card ( two designs ) , and , the ' Portfolio ' series . The latter consists of etchings copied from CalcottDavid Cox

    Stanfield , and other great masters , . Among , mechanical cards we observe some ingenious examples that are especially worthy of

    by Charles Montagu Doughty . This book ( nearly ready ) will add considerably to our knowledge of Arabian inscriptions , and will be

    illustrated throughout . The publishers are the Cambridge University Press . Mr . James Russell Lowell has presented to

    the Library of Harvard College a collection of books numbering 688 volumes , picked up by

    him in the past eight years abroad . In the collection are some English and Italian works ,

    but most of the books are Spanish , and several are of the greatest rarity and value . We understand that Mr . Alexander Watt

    has been for many months engaged in writing a comprehensive practical treatise on the Electro-deposition of Metals , including the

    electrolytic refining of copper and other metals and treatment of ores . The work , being now complete , will shortly be in the hands of the

    public- The publishers will be Messrs . Crosby Lockwood & Co . ' Marche Joyeuse' is the newest

    composition by the Countess of Munster . It is dedicated by command of the Queen to H . R . H . Princess Beatrice in commemoration

    of the royal wedding . The music is very good . ' The Message of the Bells' is the name

    of the pleasantly melodious song , of which the words and music are by the Countess of Munster . Messrs . W . J . Willcocks & Co . are
