      Rjlhe Autumn Educational Season Is Scarc...

      rjlHE autumn educational season is scarcely -L over when we are suddenly plunged into

      the serious business of the great winter trade . That this year it will be great is surely the

      hope of all who interest themselves in the production of new books or new editions . Last

      year there was slight ground for serious complaint as to the work accomplished , for many ¦»

      boo — ks of more than passing in terest made " ¦ t heir mark in public esteem , and are likely to keep

      their places for years to come . It would be unadvisable to attemp mrt to foretell the fortunes

      of the coming season . As yet few publishers have sent out their lists of announcements ,

      but most of these intimations may be expected to appear in our next ( October 1 ) number .

      There is every sign even now that , as usual , fiction will put forth extra numerical , if

      not vital , strength in the course of the ensuing season . Novelists , young and old , seem to have

      been exerting themselves vigorously during the long summer days , and the usual large

      and rather unequal harvest is already promised . Of the travellers who have to tell their stories

      of perils and adventures we as yet cannot say much ; but it is understood that several of these

      works , the appreciation of which is happily extending , will put in an appearance . Of the

      tourists , who will describe anew very familiar scenes , it is safe to say that their pens have

      not been idle , so that continental hotel bills , stories of the extortions of guides , the rapacity

      of drivers , the insolence of ^ i < r customs r official ( OM s , and other fear-waking warnings will be duly

      dignified in print and gilded boards . Books of more enduring solidity and substantial

      worth are on their way . Of these we may be in a position to speak in our next number .

      Meantime it is to be hoped that the approaching season will be good in every respect

      for authors , readers , and publishers . IO « I ...
