In one of the accounts of the lateLeipsic fair it is
said :--" Never was the catalogue of books and other
publications greater than at this fair. It extended to
284 sheets of letter-press, containing 2,000 new works,
without including music and geographical maps and
charts. The number of the publishers of this vast addi-
tion to literature is 789. The German translations are
very numerous, and yet there are not more than two of
any one foreign work, except the • Mysteres de Paris"
of M. Eugene Sue, of which there are ten versions."
