OBITUARY. JUSTICE S. Redfield. WE doubt whether any one in the trade remembered that the subject of this notice was still living last week, or had been, for that matter, for the last ten or twenty years. And yet, it was so, and ours is the painful duty of putting on record the suicide of one who once stood in the very front rank of the publishing trade in the United States. The news comes to us, by way of Philadelphia, that Mr. Redfield, who had reached the 79th year of his age, and who for a number of years had been living in a small village on the Tree Tons road, near Florence, N. J., committed suicide on the night of the 24th inst. by taking laundanum, and opening a large artery in his arm. He went to work in the most deliberate manner and was not discovered until he had been dead for hours. He left several letters addressed to different parties, which it had evidently taken him several days to prepare. One of them was addressed to Mr. Potts, with whom he was living. It reads as follows: WILL: I am about to take French leave of you all. I expect you will find my body cold enough to-morrow, and will have to get the Coroner. After he is done with his work he will give the burial certificate; then I request you to have a plain pine coffin and no funeral ceremony whatever, and I would much prefer to be buried in the orchard. He had also prepared his death notice and addressed it to the newspapers. It simply reads: Died, in Florence, March 23, J. S. Redfield, in the 79th year of his age. From this notice it would appear that he had planned to take his life one day earlier than he did, though there is little, if anything, to indicate that he did not carry out his programme to the very letter. Mr. Redfield was born in New Hampshire in 1809, but was taken to New York when quite young, so that his youth was practically spent in the metropolis. After a liberal education he became interested in the printing business, and at quite an early age he became a publisher on his own account. Early in 1840 he was located in Clinton Hall, the home also of the Mercantile Library, situated on the southwest corner of Beekman and Nassau Streets, now occupied by the Nassau Bank. His list even at that time was remarkable for its strength in nearly ever department of literature. Of the American authors then on his list the most prominent was N. P. Willis. In a very short time he added the names of William Gilmore Sims, Alice Cary, Caroline Cheeseboro, Edgar Allan Poe, Cornelius Matthews, Dr. Griswold, Fitz Greene Halleck, John Gilmary Shea, Charles Gayarre, and others. In 1855 we find him at 110 and 112 Nassau Street, where the late Mr. W. J. Widdleton entered his employ as clerk. Mr. Widdleton was never his partner, as has been stated (the firmname was J. S. Redfield to the end), but he succeeded to a large portion of his business after the failure. When the war broke out Mr. Redfield, whose literary tastes and ambition to put into the market only the best always got ahead of his business judgment, found himself compelled to put his affairs into the hands of his creditors. Every effort was made to induce him to continue, but chagrined at his defeat in business and worn out with the cares and anxieties of his domestic life, he preferred to retire on what was left of the wreck. His first two wives had died shortly after marriage, and it became necessary to place the third, who suffered from a mental disease, in care of an asylum. One of his sons died at Fortress Monroe during the war, the other went to Chicago before the great fire and was never heard of after. It is little wonder that this unfortunate man, who once held a high social position, who was counted the brightest, wittiest, and most entertaining of companions, and whose friends were the leading journalists, literary men, and statesmen of forty years ago-little wonder, we say, that he should have had no desire to appear on the scenes of his former triumphs, and that so few of the present generation were even aware of his being alive within a week. FELIX O. C. DARLEY, the celebrated designer and illustrator, died suddenly at his home in Clayment, Del., on the 27th inst., at the age of 66. Among the works illustrated by him are Washington Irving's" Rip Van Winkle," "SketchBook," Knickerbocker's New York," and "Sleepy Hollow;" some of Fenimore Cooper's writings, and an edition of Shakespeare published in this city. He was a native of Philadelphia, but lived in New York for many years. In 1868, after four years' residence abroad, he published Sketches Abroad with Pen and Pencil." THE "LIBRARY" POSTAGE BILL A RESOLUTION was introduced in the House on the 27th inst. by Mr. Cummings to recall from the Senate for reconsideration the bill which passed the House last week, providing for the increase of postage from 1 to 8 cents per pound on the publications known as "library."

Over two hundred engravings will make this a work of unusual value. All who have read "The Rear-Guard of the Revolution" and its remarkable sequel," John Sevier, the Commonwealth Builder," will learn with pleasure that James R. Gilmore has written another of his instructive political studies, which will be published under the title of "The Advance Guard of Western Civilization."

BLAKISTON, SON & Co. announce several valuable works for spring publication, of which full titles will be found in our classified list in this issue, under Medical Science. THE BOSTON SCHOOL SUPPLY Co. have now ready four volumes of especial value to all interested in tariff questions, entitled respectively "The Natural History of Raw Materials of ComA. C. ARMSTRONG & SON have just issued merce," "The Technical History of Commerce," 'The Growth and Vicissitudes of Commerce," which will probably become a standard treatise and "Recent and Existing Commerce." These on the subject. manuals are the work of Dr. John Yeats and are illustrated with maps, statistical charts and tables. ROBERT CLARKE & Co. announce for publication in the early spring the thirteenth edition of "A Treatise on the Law Arising Before Justices of the Peace and in Business Transactions as Administered in the Courts of Record in Ohio and under the Statutes in Force January, 1888," revised by Joseph R.

S. during the years 18831888. These papers give accounts of personal experiences and observations of participants in the stirring events to which they relate and are therefore of permanent interest as authentic history. They were originally read at the stated meetings of the Commandery and published in pamphlet form. Many are now out of print or very scarce and their publication in book-form must please many. Each volume will be provided with a good index and will be illustrated with maps and drawings. GEORGE W. CRANE & Co. announce an exhaust ive work for Kansas lawyers to be entitled "Kansas Pleading and Practice," being a full and accurate presentation of the legal phases and steps in civil action through all the courts of the State, with an appendix which contains a form for every pleading known to the Kansas practice; and a story of marked power and interest written by Mrs. Mary W.

Verestchagin, is translated from the Russian by Isabel F. Hapgood and illustrated with portraits of the author and other distinguished Russian officials. It has the endorsement of Tolstol, who is said to declare that this is the very best war-book ever written in Europe. "Summer Legends" is translated from the German of Rudolf Baumbach by Helen B. Dole, who does justice to those sparkling stories, bringing out the delicate drollery and poetic imagery which have made them so popular in Germany. Of American origin and American interest will be Taxation in American States and Cities," by Prof. R. T. Ely, of Johns Hopkins University, CUPPLES & HURD announce the sixth edition of Ancestral Tablets," printed on ledger paper and strongly bound in half leather, which provides for the recording of eight lineal generations, and according to the Nation is a perpetual incentive to the pursuit of one's ancestry;" and another work on genealogy, entitled "How to Write the History of a Family," by W. P. W. Phillimore, which is the result of a lengthened experience in genealogical research, giving a sketch of the rise of genealogical study, examples of the various methods of recording genealogical facts, and dealing in detail with such topics as surnames, heraldry, the arrangement of paragraph pedigrees. with accompanying key charts, the scientific aspect of genealogy, the doctrine of heredity, etc. The firm also purposes to bring out "Carlyle's Counsels to a Literary Aspirant; 'What Shall Make Us Whole? or, thoughts in the direction of man's spiritual and physical integrity," by Helen B.

Barr, of which the scene is laid in the West Riding, England, and of which Master of His Fate."

Chatto & Windus, London, they will also publish a library edition, in twelve volumes, from duplicate plates of the novels of Walter Besant and James Rice, to be brought out, as far as possible, in the order of their first appearance. The initial volume will be the girl who was not allowed to learn to read"The Golden Butterfly "-the brilliant story of which deserves a new lease of favor in its permanent American form. The house has Valadon & Co., successors to Goupil & Co., of also made arrangements with Messrs. Boussod, Paris, for an edition with English text of designs by Madeleine Lemaire. "L'Abbé Constantin," with illustrations from of American etiquette by Mrs. Florence Howe ESTES & LAURIAT announce a new manual Hall, whose "Social Customs" has become so popular. Her new book will bear the appropri ate title "The Correct Thing," and will be neatly gotten up in a size suitable for the pocket. The rules are worded concisely and are printed on a page headed "It is the correct thing," which faces a page headed "It is not the correct thing." It is expected that the book will become an authority on matters pertaining to the compli cated study of American social usages. FUNK & WAGNALLS head their spring announcements with a novel by Edgar Fawcett, to be called "A Man's Will," which will present new pictures of New York iife, and deal with the vice of drunkenness in the upper ranks of society, where the author says it exists to a degree un suspected by the uninitiated. Two physicians are introduced, who are said to show some of Mr. Fawcett's most admirable work. There will be entirely new editions of two more stories bearing on the subject of temperance, both written by Prof. A. A. Hopkins, one entitled "His Prison Bars," the other " Sinner and Saint," and a biography called "The Life of John B. Finch," by Mrs. John B. Finch and Frank J. Sibley, which will include the most important of Finch's temperance lectures. A valuable work bearing upon another social problem of weight will be "Ethics of Marriage," by H. S. Pomeroy, with a prefatory note by Thomas Addis Emmet, an introduction by Rev. J. T. Duryea, and an appendix showing the laws of most of the States and Territories regarding certain forms of crime. The balance of the announcements of the firm are in the line of their specialty, theological works of reference and other books of theological interest. They have in press the first volume of Franz Delitzsch's "Commentary on the Book of Psalms," translated by the Rev. David Eaton, which will be complete in three volumes, and fully up to date, as the indefatigable and conscientious German scholar has taken note of the various important works that have appeared during the last ten years, and fully revised the edition from which this translation is made. The second volume of Dr. J. Glentworth Butler's vast "Bible Work" is also in press, covering the exodus and wanderings and giving textual codification of the entire Mosaic legislation; and the sixth and concluding volume of Spence and Exell's "Thirty Thousand Thoughts" is in active preparation. The articles on The Pentateuchal Question" will be continued at twenty cents a number, and such writers as Prof. M. S. Terry, Prof. Harmon, Prof. Streibert, Prof. Dwinell, Prof. Hemphill, and Prof. Osgood are already announced as contributors to forthcoming issues. Prof. Weiss' work on "The Introduction to the New Testament" has been translated by A. J. K. Davidson, and will be brought out in two volumes. Prof. Weiss is connected with the University of Berlin, and his book has been ripening through years of lectureship on New Testament science. There is also announced a treatise on applied Christianity which will be disguised as fiction under the title of "Nobody Knows," by A Nobody," in which the hero brings about a moral and social reformation, by a reconciliation between employer and employé, between the Church and the masses. 46 GINN & Co.'s announcements will be found in full under the heading of Education, Language, etc., in the classified list elsewhere in this issue. S. C. GRIGGS plan to issue about May 1 "The Aryan Race, its origin and its achievements," by Charles Morris, author of "A Manual of Classical Literature."

Other works of history of importance will be "France and the Confederate Navy," by the Hon. John Bigelow, late U. S. Minister to France; "Fifty Years Ago," a description of the London of that date, by Walter Besant ; and a new edition, from entirely new plates, of Greene's "Short History of the English People." "The Capitals of Spanish America," by W. E. Curtis, will throw new light on some old cities, and tempt travellers to verify the author's statements; and musical visitors to New York City, who have enjoyed the music of St. Thomas' Church, will be glad to know that its organist, Mr. George William Warren, has prepared a royal octavo volume to be known as Hymns and Tunes as Sung at St. Thomas' Church," which will enable other churches to make use of a great deal of most carefully-selected material, that has all proved effective under Mr. Warren's able leadership. In fiction, the house, thus far, makes few announcements. Amélie Rives' remarkable stories will be bound up in a neat volume, which will take the title from her masterpiece, "A Brother to Dragons, and other old-time stories;" an anonymous novel will excite curiosity, under the title, A Strange Ms. Found in a Copper Cylinder;" and the Harper's Young People series will receive the addition of " The New Robinson Crusoe," by W. L. Alden. HENRY HOLT & Co. announce a third edition of Lucien M. Underwood's Our Native Ferns;" an illustrated "Greek Literature," by T. Sargeant Perry; "The Causes of the French Revolution," by R. H. Dabney; Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung," translated by Geo. T. Dippold, with notes and explanations; and Die Schönsten Deutschen Lieder," a collection of three hundred of the choicest poems and volkslieder, selected and arranged by Carla and Helene Wenckebach. Additions to the Leisure Hour series will be Loyalty George," by Mrs. Louisa Parr; "From Moor Isle," by Jessie Fothergill; "A Castle in the Air," by Gen. Hugh Ewing; and "A Mere Child," by Mrs. L. B. Walford. These four novels will also appear in the Leisure Moment series, which will also receive "Hannibal of New York," by Thomas Wharton; Spielhagen's "Problematic Characters;" Through Night to Hohensteins." Besides these works of general Light;" "Hammer and Anvil; and "The interest this house has arranged for several valuable educational works of which the titles are given in our classified list of spring publications and announcements. HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN & Co.'s list of books for publication this spring is not very long. They have already published, since the beginning of the year, a rather unusual number of books, including "The Second Son," the notable story by Mrs. Oliphant and Mr. Aldrich; "Heartsease and Rue," perhaps the most notable volume of poems published in this country for some years, by James Russell Lowell; and two important historical works, Prof. Tuttle's "Prussia under Frederick the Great," in two volumes; a volume on "The Fighting Veres," the two English generals who fought in the Low Countries, a work of decided interest and value, by Clements R. Markham; and the volume on "" Gouverneur Morris," in the series of American Statesmen, by Theodore Roosevelt. Among books in press, for early publication, are still another of the American Statesmen books "Mar tin Van Buren," by Edward M. Shepard; "Current" Religious Perils," including the lectures, preludes, original hymns, etc., of Rev. Joseph Cook, in the Boston Monday Lectureship for 1887; and the fifth part of Prof. Child's unequalled edition of "English and Scottish Ballads." Two books possessing similarity of character, but very different on account of race differences, are "Irish Wonders," by D. R. McAnally, a book of interesting Irish peasant stories, illustrated with very great skill and in great variety, but without any touch of caricature; and a volume on "Negro Myths from the Georgia Coast." by C. C. Jones, Jr., who tells the folk stories which have circulated for generations among the negroes, and relates the actions and speeches of Buh Wolf, Buh Alligator, Buh Fox, and many other Buhs. Two interesting volumes of poems are included in this list, one by Dr. Holmes, entitled "Before the Curfew, and other poems," including the poetry written by him since the appearance of "The Iron Gate," and "Metrical Translations and Poems," consisting of poems translated from the German," by Dr. F. H. Hedge and Mrs. A. L. Wister, both widely known as translators of the greatest skill and scholarly appreciation. This volume will contain in ad tics," by Andrew D. White; "A Memorial of Sidney Lanier ;"" Observations on the Embryology of Insects and Arachnids," by A. T. Bryse, edited by Wm. R.

Brunowe; "Drops of Honey ;" and "Guilty, or not Guilty." Dr. Hedge. Mrs. Margaret Deland, author of "The Old Garden, and other poems," has written a novel entitled "John Ward, Preacher," which will appear probably in April. It is not wholly theological, as its name might indicate, but there is a positive theological element in the book which adds no little to the interest of the situations and which is likely to cause considerable discussion. Prof. Alexander Agassiz has prepared a work which will fill two octavo volumes, entitled "Three Cruises of the Blake," giving an account of three dredging expeditions on the Atlantic coast of the United States, a work possessing great scientific interest and value and rendered more attractive by copious illustrations. WILLIAM R. JENKINS has chosen two most unsimilar lines of publication-foreign, especially French, fiction, and veterinary medicine-and, as usual, makes interesting announcements in each. Victor Hugo's "Quatrevingt-treize will be brought out in one volume, uniform with the handsome edition of "Les Misérables;" Erckmann-Chatrian's comedy of "L'Ami Fritz," annotated by Prof. A. C. Hennequin, will be added to his Théâtre Contemporain, and he will publish an original French comedy for children by Henri Michaud, entitled "Ma Bonne." Three valuable veterinary works are promised; the first part, profusely illustrated, of a new work on the "Com-sachusetts Board of Education; "Our Language," parative Anatomy of Domesticated Animals," by Prof. M'Fadyean, of Edinburgh; an entirely revised edition of Equine Medicine," by Prof. Robertson; and “ Lameness in Horses," by Dr. A.
