Three volumes of biography soon to
come from Messrs. Longmans, Green &
Co. are Of great interest. The first,
written by Mr.. H. B. Irving, has Judge
Jeffreys for it's; subject, and aims not
exactly at withdrawing the man

All the English American publishing
firms are threatened by a serious mis-,
fortune in the shape of an issue of two
shilling novels to be brought out by
Messrs. Pearson & Co. This is the firm
described in Mr.. Haggard's "Mr. Nee
sons WILL" and known in the English
courts as the defendant in many cases
involving the fraudulent missing word
contests, and It's managers hope to
persuade the public that three of the
novels written by such forty-fifth rate
authors as will accept their imprint are
as good as six-shilling novel by Mr..
Kipl1ng or Mr.. Weyman This new
venture accounts for large number
of innocent newspaper articles describ-
ing "Pearson's" picnics for it's statesmen
and clerks, Pearsons benevolencr
bookbindery, enterprise and other nice
things Without doubt some foolish
persons will buy the books on account
Of their cheapness, and every book so
bought represents two shillings taken
from an honest publisher, two pence
from a good author and at least ten
pence from printers, binders and the
newspapers IN which reputable firms
advertise. If the ordinary BUYER of
books or of anything else could be
taught that small prices mean small
worth, this would be a much happier
world.
