In the same class, though of lower rank, 

 mid generally, though not always, of smaller 

 :i<l inti-rior merit, \verethelargeclassof 

 dime novels, twenty-five cent novels, and 

 cheap fictions in paper covers, usually the 

 work of American authors, but having an al- 

 most exclusive class of patrons, unknown in 

 the literary world, but constituting a world of 

 their own. The titles of these works are for 

 the most part sensational, though the novels 

 themselves are often very far from being so. 

 Their monotonous alliterations would hardly 

 interest our readers, and we therefore give 

 only the names of the authors. Edward Wil- 

 lett, Latham C. Carleton, J. S. Henderson, 

 II. L. Williams, Jr., and "An Old Hunter," 

 each published three of these productions dur- 

 ing the year; Roderick Armstrong, W. J. Ham- 

 ilton, Scott R. Sherwood, Edward S. Ellis, E.

 Jones, the Author of " Black Bill," Lieut. H. 

 L. Boone, Miss A. M. Hale, and Lieut. Murray

 gerford, the Author of " Zeke Sternum," Sulin

 ret Blount, Sir Admiral Fisher, George Robin-

 Sunnier, Harry Hazleton, "W. G. Simms, the 

 Author of " Mad Mike," C. Dunning Clarke, 

 the Author of " Tom Turpin, Trapper," Stephen 

 Percy, Mrs. Orrin James, Dr. J. II. Robinson,

 staecker, F. H. Keppel, Capt. Maxwell, S. C.

Among the reprints, those of the best class 

 of French novels, in the original, most of them 

 published by M. C. Lasalle, oj the Com-rnr <1<* 

 fitats Unit, deserve special notice. They were 

 the following :

I. 'lleritie.ro d'un M mint re Roman, par Madam* 



onfesseur, par l'Abb6 - . 



M. SylvoHtre, par Madame Dude vant (George Sand).

Of the En.L'li-h reprints, ;i marked feature 

 was the nearly simultaneous re-publication by 

 four large pabwhing houses viz., Messrs. Tick- 

 nor & Fields, Ilunl .V 1 loiiLrhton, T. 15. Peter- 

 son & Co., and D. Appleton & Co., of Mr. 

 Dickens's entire series of novels (nineteen dis- 

 tinct works), in, it is said, thirty-one different 

 editions. The "Waverley Novels of Sir Walter 

 Scott were also republished by three publi.-hin^ 

 houses (Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, Appleton, 

 and Peterson), while another house, Mr. W.W. 

 Swayne, imported and sold at a very low price 

 a Scottish edition, in competition with the 

 others. Messrs. Leypoldt & Holt, the repre- 

 sentatives here of the Tauchnitz press, issued, 

 in the elegant portable editions of that great 

 printing and publishing house, the standard 

 novels of Fielding, Smollett, Richardson, Sterne, 

 and Swift ; and Messrs. Lippincott & Co., under 

 the title of the Globe Edition, published the 

 novels of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton in a neat and 

 tasteful style. New editions of several of 

 Thackeray's novels have also been commenced 

 during the year, but have not extended beyond 

 two or three volumes.

 been reprinted here during the past year are :
