Fleet Street , have nearly ready for publication the following standard Law Works , viz . : — Stehen's Commentaries on the Laws of
' p England / 10 th edition ; * Davis ' s County Court Practice ( embodying- the New Rules ) , '
6 th edition ; and ' Pritchard's Admiralty Digest / 3 rd edition .
Messrs . Delachaux & Co ., of ! N " euchatel , are about to publish immediately an answer to
Dr . Rommel ' s pamphlet which has created such a sensation . The answer is entitled ' Le pays
de la revanche et le pays des milliards , reponse au Dr . Rommel , par J . Boillot . '
It is also to be noted that Messrs . Gressner & Schramm , of Leipzig , have in the press
a pamphlet on the ' Future of the French Nation / entitled 'Die ZukunftderFranzosen . '
The point of view appears to be that the i knightly virtues once characteristic of our
neighbours have disappeared . Among the forthcoming books of Mr .
Adolph Marcus , in Bonn , is ' Cardinal Wolsey und die Kaiserl . Englische Allianz , 1522-25 /
from the pen of Dr . M . Busch . The hihlsuccessful ' Manual of Ancient
Sculpture g : y Egyptian , Assyrian , Greek , Roman / bMr . George Rutfordis to appear
in a new and y much enlarged form , . A good many additional illustrations will be in th &
«/ new volume , besides the augmentation of the descriptive text .
We have had an opportunity of seeing a specimen of the presentation pjate which ?
Messrs . Cassell & Co . are to issue with part 1 of the jubilee work of ' The Life and Times of
Queen Victoria / The picture is a fine reproduction of Gourlay Steele ' s famous * Cottage *
Bedside at Osborne / a work which most powerfully shows the tender sympathof the
Queen towards her subject dwellers in y humble homes . This work should be a great success .
The next volume of Mr . Elliot Stock ' s Popular County Histories will be the ' History ;
of Derbyshire / by John Pendleton , the aut ? ior of 'Old and New Chesterfield . ' The new
volume will be issued almost immediately . Mr . S . Mullen's Monthly Circular reaches
us from Melbourne . It forms an eminently useful chronicle of current literature , chiefly
dealing with books imported into Australia . That Mr . Mullen keeps his customers . aml
supplied with the newest X . books is testified p by y the contents of the circular . Perhaps the
names of the publishers might in some instances be appended to the titles of the books-.
This would be a useful addition . The Monthly Circular is issued gratia throughout the
colonies . Messrs . S . W . Partridge tt Co . announce '
the third edition of their jubilee volume , I * Queen Victoria : Scenes and Incidents of
Her Life and Reign / by T . Frederick Ball . Ten thousand copies of this popular book have
been sold since its publication in March last . m
