      THE PUBLISHERS' CIRCULAR which , for mechanical reasons , is dated December 31 , 1881 , is actually issued on the first working day of the New Year , 1882 , and brings with it the

      customary table of books issued during the past twelve months . Most of our readers probably saw a paragraph in the newspapers not long ago to the effect that the production of books was

      not on the increase , as might naturally be expected from the greater number of readers which I every day must bring with it , due to the spread of education and the steady growth of population . I

      The slight lessening of the number of publications—that is , books—is ascribed by the statis- I ticians to the enormous development of the periodical press , whether in magazines , weeklies , I

      or in that daily miracle the morning paper . However that may be , the attentive reader will I have observed that our tables of December 1881 and December 1880 faithfully reflect the I

      slight pause in the tide of books ( properly so called ) which flows from the press . The I difference , thus far , is very slight . There are about 300 works less recorded this year than I

      during the last , which is exactly one for each working day . I ANALYTICAL TABLE OF BOOKS PUBLISHED IN 1881 , I
