ILLUSTRATED BOOKS. Illustration plays a 

 much larger part in the making of books that 

 admit of it, than formerly. But illustration 

 for ornament's sake, as exemplified in the pro- 

 duction of books in which the letter-press is 

 for the sake of the engravings, rather than the 

 engravings for the text, seems to be less in 

 favor. Fewer volumes appear, expressly pre- 

 pared for the holidays, and those that are pub- 

 lished are generally works which would be at- 

 tractive without being artistically " clothed 

 upon." As heretofore, one of Mr. Bryant's 

 exquisite poems, " The Little People of the 

 Snow," has been honored with a very tasteful 

 and richly-pictured dress. "The Corn-tin'," 

 by James Russell Lowell, illustrated in sil- 

 houette ; an illustrated edition of " A Russian 

 Journey," by Edna Dean Proctor ; " Frithiof s 

 Saga," illustrated ; " The Cotter's Saturday 

 Night," with fifty illustrations; "Songs ot 

 Nature;" Wilson Flagg's "Woods and By- 

 ways of New England," already mentioned in 

 another connection ; and " Songs from the Old 

 Dramatists," are among the principal works 

 of this class prepared by our publishers for the 

 last holiday season. Some very elegant vol- 

 umes of English manufacture were imported. 

 But there is an increasing tendency to value 

 artistic adornment chiefly as a mode of ex- 

 pressing the admiration that is felt for books 

 worthy of honor.
