Dodd. Mead & Co.
This book q fine example OF the De Ninne
Press will be priced not only for it's beauty. for
,,s nortraits of three of New-Yorks early print
ers and for its numerous facsmiles Of old title
pages. but for it's information. Printed leaves
fall now in New-York almost as fast as another
kind of leaves are said to fall in Vallombrosa
Rut this book tells of a time when the case was
different From the times Of the earliest settle
uent there must have been the need of books.
But the need of printers seems not 10 have been
nressing until the very close Of the seventeenth
century: even at that time IL may have been that
PHILADELPHIA had one printer too many rather
than that New-York had realized the want of

who had been apprentice to a Quaker publisher
in London and had married his masters daugh-

He was reared in the Church Of England. and
perhaps neither apprenticeship nor marriage en-

that Colonel Fletcher. who had come into the
Governorship of New-York in the midst Of an
Indian war, was anxious 10 secure TO himself
such fame as followed its successful issue Re

LITERARY NOTES.

From the opening chapters Of Mr Crawford's ne"
novel "Taquisara." IT IS plain that he intends 20
work still further the vein he has 50 successfully
exploited IN HIS Italian stories. The scene IS thus
far lad in Naples. where We find young her
ess Veronica Sierra. in excellent health. but srn-
Ing away all her possessions in a vii that her
aunt the Countess Macomer. longs for as simple
testimony Of love and esteem-and also as safe
guard against beneiiting undeservlng kin shouli
Veronica die before her aunt and the estate 20 10
the relations aforesaid. The situation is fun Of
promise. Much OF dramatic import. much tragedy
and intrigue may be expected TO flow from Donna
Veronica's somewhat silly action. But Mr. Craw-
ford gives us no hint yet Of the drama when
IS to follow We simply know that Donna Veronica
has but recently emerged from a Roman convent
and that her lfe In Naples is somewhat tr.sie with
the Count and Countess Macomer. Bos!o, the
Counts brother is nearer Veronica's age than her
other relatives in the Palazzo are. 1t remains 70

OF the Campodonica is to appear In the
tale. and It is likely that more than one parsonage
from the Saracinesca novels will be brought again
