actors and actresses of the early part of the century, entitled “Retrospections of America." From England was imported a limited edition of Randolph Caldecott's "Complete Collection of Pictures and Songs." From the same source came an édition de luxe of Shakespeare's "King Henry IV." with photogravures from the original drawings of Edward Grützner, Meynell's "Modern School of Art," Percy Macquoid's pictures for Scott's Bridal of Triermain," and Misadventures at Margate," pictured by Ernest M. Jessop. In French art the only examples were limited illustrated editions of St. Pierre's Paul and Virginia," Merimée's " "Carmen," and Dumas' Camille." POETRY. Cheney's Thistle-Drift," and David Atwood Wasson's " Poems." In collections Brander Matthews edited "Ballads of Books," over seventy poems by English and American writers, Ernest De Lancey Pierson compiled "Society Verses by American Writers," Henry F. Randolph, "Fifty Years of English Song," and Wendell P. Garrison," Bedside Poetry." There was also a new edition with some additions of Richard Watson Gilder's favorite "Poems," and an American edition, with a sympathetic biographical sketch by Louise Chandler Moulton, of Philip Bourke Marston's " Garden Secrets." Another American book, though not by an American author, is "Christmas-Eve and EasterDay," a selection from Robert Browning, with notes by Miss Hersey and W. J. Rolfe. "FolkSongs of Italy," translated by Miss R. H. Busk, and Giacomo Leopardi's "Poems," also from the Italian, belong here likewise. The dearth of important English reprints of this class is very marked. Swinburne's "Locrine" and "Select Poems," Browning's " Parleyings," Stevenson's "Underwoods," Edwin Arnold's "Lotus and Jewel," Owen Meredith's lads and Poems of Tragic Life," fairly represent the best in English poetical literature of 1887 reproduced in America. SPORTS. The growing interest among Americans in all out-door SPORTS and in-door GAMES is illustrated by works on many opposite subjects. Samuel J. and Isabel C. Barrows depict, in "The Shaybacks in Camp," the pleasure of living under canvas. The bicycle had its chief eulogists in Karl Kron's As usua. there is an apparent contradiction between the numbers reported as published in the department of POETRY and the works that we enumerate. This discrepancy arises as much from the many utterly worthless verses printed as from the numerous new editions of standards. The more notable original works from American songsters are two dainty volumes by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, "Daffodils" and 'Bird-Talk ;""After Paradise," and George Meredith's "BalFrank Dempster Sherman's clever society verses, "Madrigals and Catches;" Wallace Bruce's "Old Homestead Poems," familiar dialect verses full of genuine feeling; Madison J. Cawein's "Blooms of the Berry;" Margaret Deland's "The Old Garden," which made quite a reputation for a new writer; Miss Edith Thomas' "Lyrics and Sonnets and Louise Imogen Guiney's" White Sail." A melancholy interest attaches to Edward Rowland Sill's "Poems," selected from his life's work. In Prof. Sill's death we lost one of the truest of American poets. Alice and Phoebe Cary's "Early and Late Poems" also recalls other gifted members of the "choir invisible;" Arlo Bates' "Sonnets in Shadow" are in memory of a beloved wife recently lost and naturally in a minor key. Joaquin Miller seems to have lost none of his old fire and passion in “Songs of the Mexican Seas." | Charles Follen Adams' "Dialect Ballads" and James Whitcomb's "Afterwhiles" are both amusing the latter betraying a good deal of originality. Clever and graceful volumes that have found readers are: Kenyon's "In Realms of Gold," Roberts' In Divers Tones," Lüders and Smith's "6 Hallo, My Fancy," Mrs. Ritter's Songs and Ballads," Frances L. Mace's "Under Pine and Palm," Charles F. Gerry's" Meadow Melodies," Sarah K. and Charles K. Bolton's "From Heart and Nature," Margaret J. Preston's. 'Colonial Ballads," Raymond's Ballads of the Revolution," Philip Bevan's "Songs of the War," Caroline Leslie Field's "The Unseen King," Piatt's "At the Holy Well," John Vance Ten Thousand Miles on a Bicycle" and Thomas Stevens' "Around the World on a Bicycle." "Cycling" was the subject of the Viscount Bury's and G. Lacy Hillier's latest addition to the Badminton Library. "Athletics and Football," by M. Shearmas, was also added to this popular library. Theodore H. Mead's "Horsemanship for Women," with Gray Parker's clever designs, and Mrs. Power O'Donoghue's "Riding for Ladies" tell their own story. Amateur and professional yachtsmen will obtain pleasure and profit from "Yachts and Yachting," il., by F. S. Cozzens; Summer's "Who Won?" Hicks' "Yachts, Boats, and Canoes;" Parker B. Field's 'Canvas Canoes" and S. G. W. Benjamin's "Seaspray," being facts and fancies of a yachtsman. J. H. Keene's "Fly-Fishing" is quite practical; Watson's "Sportsman Paradise" is an alluring picture of the charms of fishing in the lakes of Canada. Lina and Adelia B. Beard's "American Girl's Handy Book" is a perfect encyclopædia of methods of amusement. Card-players may provide themselves with the latest authorities in BOOK PRODUCTION IN ENGLAND IN 1887.

Besides SCIENCE proper we group, for convenience, under this heading, physical science and mental and moral philosophy, the contributions to each being so very small. The additions to popular science were from an English source Ralph Abercromby's "Weather " in the International Scientific Series, and from an) American David Starr Jordan's "Science Sketches." The principal Scientific Writings" of Joseph Henry, the late distinguished secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, were gathered in two large volumes. Frederick H. Storer offered suggestive lectures to students in "Agriculture in some of Its Relations with Chemistry." Physical science was enlarged by Robert Ridgway's." Manual of North American Birds;" Angelo Heilprin's Novels, Tales, and other Fiction "Geographical and Geological Distribution of Animals;" Holder's "Living Lights;" Dr. Alfred C. Stokes' "Microscopy for Beginners;" Dr. Charles C. Abbott's "Waste Land Wanderings," charming papers on the birds and beasts and flowers of New Jersey; and Grant Allen's 'Common-Sense Science." Prof. F. Max Müller's latest and most important work is offered in "The Science of Thought." The leading argument that he advances, "no reason without language," has met with many opposing arguments. Two essays of Herbert Spencer's were reprinted with additions from the Nineteenth Century under the title, "The Factors of Organic In presenting this annual table the editor apEvolution." They bear indirectly upon psychol-pends a few remarks on the figures as compared ogy and ethics. The same topics are treated by Dr. James McCosh in "Psychology"-from a physiological though less scientific side. Prof. Ladd's" Elements of Physiological Psychology" and Prof. Bowne's " Introduction to Psychological Theory" are both based on facts, and approached from the standpoint of science. Ethical and philosophical works are Archibald Alexander's Some Problems of Philosophy," a series of lectures delivered in Columbia College, N. Y. City; Maud's "Foundations of Ethics;" Edgar Saltus' "Anatomy of Negation;" John Bascom's "Sociology;" Jacob Gould Schurman's "Ethical Import of Darwinism;" Cope's The ology of Evolution;" and George Ticknor Curtis' Law, Jurisprudence, etc..
