lished 4 1881 books of various kinds
in this country. an increase of 1914
over 1887. OF these 500 were re-
prints being works of fiction. Fewer
American novels were published than
in the year previous. In England
the books issued were still greater,
being 6,691, an increase of 907 over
1887. In other words, there were a
dozen books published in this coun-
try every day, including Sundays, of
the year 1888, and eighteen every
day in England. Truly, "of making
