The Sale of Standard works.

Recently table was published, giving the
comparative sales of authors, as gathered
from the business of prominent concern A
reporter obtained from a salesman in the en-
ploy of q large news company of New York,
q list Of sales based on the number of copies
of Charles Dickens works that are sold by
that firm. The following taole shows that
the company sells on the average:
Dickens, COO; Mary j. Holmes, 100; Louisa
M. Alcott, $50; Sir Walter Scott, $50: Thsck-

The salesman commented, az he went down
the lisa, asfoltoyvs:
Edward Eggleston's sales have fallen off
largely: sells only in the holidays. Marion
Cravfsrds new book sells well Helen
Hunt jackson viii always sell. The demand
for Harriet Beecher Stoves Uncle Toms
Cabin is as steady as clockwork. Ben HrI'
is one of the most reliable books to sell We
have ever had. II. Rider Haggard sells in
spurts. The sales OF Dickens, Thackeray,
Scott and Bulwer scarcely vary from year To
year. They are as 1nuch q standard article
as -four or groceries.
''The most remarkable book we have sold" !"
said the salesman, ''is Mr.. Barnes, of New
York We have sold 5000 week since its
first appearance, and have been FROM s, 600 10
10000 behind eur orders all the while. As it
is the firss book ef the author the sale is be-
yond all precedent"
The company sells for all classes of pub
fishers, except those that sell on subscription
and on installments. The fsr1ner DO not
