Now and then some new edition of a classic
appears without the Introductory matter bv a
modern hand which has of late grown so ia
milar. Now and then like it. for a change
The new edition of Scott's poems which has
just been published in four volumes offers a
case in point 1t is very pleasant to renew ac-
quaintance with the old favorites under Scott's
own auspices. His notes and prefaces are the
best. Occasionally they yield passages like the
following. which, if not related to the poems
are at all events always interesting to reread:
''I observe that Lord Byron, in noticing nv oh

The Hold of "Ben-Hur' upon the imagination
of a very large part Of the public is remarkable.
The sale of the book in 1900 was four thousand

years old.

BOOKS AND AUTHORS.
CURRENT TALK OF THINGS PRESENT
AND TO COME.

The representatives Of the New-York publish
ing houses agree that the general prosperity of
the country has been amply shared in their ousl-
ness and that the expectations aroused by the
reelection of President Mckinley have been
quite fulfilled. The holiday demand for books
has been large; in cases it is reported to be
30 per cent greater than last years, which was
itself large An uncommonly large number of
important and interesting books have been pro-
vided for the reading public, and the public
has demonstrated its appreciation of them In
ample measure. I'VE have been fortunate in not
Understanding the demand for our holiday
publications this year. said man connected
with of the leading houses; I'VE printed
editions of everything announced that have
been large enough for the trade, which is some
times difficult thing to do and we have not
had to suffer the delay and loss occasioned by
finding edition exhausted at the height of the
holiday business. when it is almost impossible
to put another through the press in time" This
is true of most Of the publishing houses, and
shows that proper calculations were made of the
expected good times"

There is much interest apparently in Stephen
Phillips's new poetical play. "Herod," which
John Lane announced for publication in this
country on Monday. The demand for it has been
such. however, that it cannot be delivered until
Tuesday. Richard Mansfield is preparing to per-
form the play, and will produce it next March.

In the book trade, as in all other branches of
holiday business said the manager of a great
retail bookstore the other day. 1.-The weather of
the week before Christmas is a most important
factor of success. Experience has shown that
the business lost by succession of stormy days
at the time when most people purchase their
Christmas presents is never made up. You
wouldn't think, perhaps, that this is true of
books as of less substantial articles bought for
presents, but it is. The holidays once past,
thousands Of people never return to make the
purchases they had planned and intended to
make for Christmas though the books
generally provided for Christmas gifts are of
permanent value just as good after the holidays
as before. A spell Of bad weather just before
Christmas costs the retail dealers of New-York
millions of dollars that they never can make up,
and the retail booksellers share in this loss"
