THE ADVERTISING OF BOOKS.

A New York writer asserts that one of
the main causes of the failures of the Har-
per and Appleton publishing houses was
that the managers did not appreciate the
Importance of modern methods of advertis-
ing. They did not realize that book. like
any other piece of merchandise, must be
forced upon the attention of the public, but
more dignified plan of letting each work
win its way by its own merit. They cher
ished the old-fashioned and conservative
idea that literature is cheapened by being
hawked in the market place. but they lost
money by their squeamishness. The writer
in question cites numerous publications of
high merit issued by these two houses
which fell fiat because the public did not
know of them, while publications of less
Importance and literary worth which were
exploited by more enterprising firms gained
wide circulation. This theory is unques-
tionably correct, and yet instances occurred

probably tended TO confirm the old-fash-
toned ideas There was 'Trilby," for ex-
ample. Its publication as a serial In Har-
per's Magazine was, OF course. in the ma

sort meant by the New York writer. There
was no unusual trumpeting of its fame in
the way of yellow posters. big black-letter
ads or talk OF it's dramatization. IL won
attention its inherent qualities. and be-
