BooKs.-From a recent article by Mr.. VIM.
Chambers, of Edinburg. we gather the follow
ing interesting particulars of the British book
trade. He says:
"In reckoning the number of new works is
sued from the press annually, we may take the
number of en- tries of distinct books, volumes
sheets, maps, &c, lodged by publishers at the
British museum, in terms of the copyright
act. The following is an abstract OF the re-
turn for 1S59-BOoks: complete works, 5507 ;
consisting of volumes, in process of publica
tion, 5642 parts, 15,767; single sheets, 236 :;
mes ana pieces, 1866. Maps in sheets. 3,O7l !;
aliases, whole or in parts, 25; total, 3096-
Grand total of articles, 2s,s sU7. In 1854 the
number was SIS. The difference shows the
rise siuce that period. In 1856, according to
the tables of the Board of Trade, the imports
of books into the United Kingdom amounted
to 5,77i cwts., OF which 2,226 cwts. were from
France and 700 C WITS. from the United States
The exports in hund red weights were as .ol-
lows: Russia, 20; Hanover, l5S; Hanse
Towns, 637; Holland, 553; France, go Tur-
key, 3O4 Egypt, 1904 United States, 1877 :;
Chill, III; Malta, 267; South Africa, s26 ;
Mauritius, IL East Indies, 2,443; Australia
6,535 British America, 1885, West Indies,
the value of which, at f IA per CIVIL. IS about
fi25, 900. 1t is seen that the exports are five
told more than the imports also that we ex-
port to Australia alone more than we import
from all countries, and TO the United States
uble as much. A system of more tree and
untaxed import of foreign printed English

changes into the book trade, and have ten.

FOR GONNORRHEE AND ALL SECRET DIS
EASES.-Thls great American remedy, contain
ing no MeTourel or Balsamlc properties, excels
every thing heretofore offered the puplic, in its
ratlve, restorative and Tenovating powers; and
the medical world are astonished when told that
tine above remedy will cure the above diseases, and
confounded when they have ocular demonstra-
tons of the facts. But the proprietor, who has
known of a case of twenty years' standing to be
restored to perfect health, and all other cases Of
shorter duration to be restored, without a single
exception, AID therefore challenges any case OF
GonorrhGa which the remedy will not cure, pro-
vlded the directions are carried out with prudence
on the part OF the patient; and any one purchasing
half dozen bottles, and using accordingly, in his
or her case, he guarantees a perfect cure; and in
ease OF failure, will furnish additional medicine,
free of charge, to complete the cure, through his
agents; and cure will be effected without incon-
venlenoe to the patient.
