The depression in III publishing trade Of London,
supposed to have been csed by the war with Russia,
has vanished at length, and a great variety Of new
books have recently appeared of higher character
than ordinary Mere books Of Amusement, tmong
which what are called sensation novels figure
largely, TEEN at discount. Standard work'-h'-
torical, biographical critical, and including many
agreeable and useful branches of general literature,
are masters Of the field.

exclusively Of late with American reprints. Nearly

That it is 80 is evident, for 1.-The Parlor Lorary

different execution or doubtful character.
Among the comparatively recent American works
reprinted and largely sold in England are Washington
Irving Life of Washington, Mr.. Eoteys Rise OF the
Dutch Republic, Prescotts new and extended edition
Of RobeItsons Charles ", Mr.. Saunderss Salad for

England, though the cost OF reprintDg such hand

there may be mentioned Messrs Duyckncks Cyclic

American literature, in short, has made itself wall
known and highly appreciated in England. Iit be not
more largely circulated there the blame must be at
tIibuted to the enormous prices charged by the Lon
don retail booksellers, who supplied, for the most
part by two agents for American publications at
rates prepostorously greater than the retail prices in
this country II lie too much to charge seven shings
and .Ipence in London for volume retailed all
America for dollar Something less than an advance
of pesrly 100 per cent would be polite and more
rtnunerative. American publishers should look to
this for the cake of their own interests. h might be
worth their while to arrange for selling American books
in England at something Ike American prices.
