have to assume the herculean task Of keeping In

To support his position the publisher gave to
The Tribune reporter a copy OF circular sent
out by T. Langton of Toronto. Canada, as late
as the Sth of May OF the present year. wherein
the sender points to an Enclosed list OF books
which are very popular In Canada. most OF them
by American authors, and are ghpriced books
In the United States. Owing 10 recent
decision by the Attorney General. these books
are now allowed to be imported into the United
States. / will allow you discount OF, 40 per
cent off the prices quoted, and Will pay the
postage on liberal order Cash to accompany
the order.
TACTICS OF SOME AGENCIES.
Such is the wording of this circular. which Is
one of many, and among the books on the list are
all Of f. p Roe's novels. General Lew Wallace's
Ben Hur' and "A Fair God" Mark Twains
'Tnnocents Abroad" "A Tramp Abroad" and

idea is TO be gathered of the cost OF production
and the consequent degree or finish attained In
the art of bookmaking. These circulars are sent
to booksellers who In turn flood the puDllsners
of this country with queries TO learn whether
the books so secretly advertised can be sold In
the United States
