REPUBLIC ATIOXS. Unsatisfactory as the state 

 of the copyright law continues to be, English 

 authors of repute have no serious difficulty in 

 making profitable arrangements with American 

 publishers for the reproduction of their works 

 in this country. By degrees this process is 

 organizing itself, the leading publishers having 

 their specialties the Messrs. Appletons, for 

 example, giving precedence to physical science 

 and the related speculations ; Messrs. Osgood 

 & Co., and Roberts Brothers, to poetry, and 

 the belles-lettres; the Messrs. Harper to fiction, 

 travels, etc. ; Scribner & Co., to theology and 

 philosophy. One of the most important enter- 

 prises for popularizing science, recently un- 

 dertaken, is the " International Science Se- 

 ries," to be composed of works prepared ex- 

 pressly for it by the leading scientists of Europe 

 and America, adapted in their style to the 

 apprehension of the general reader. Two vol- 

 umes have appeared : " On the Forms of 

 Water," by Prof. Tyndall, and " Physics and 

 Politics," by Walter Bagehot. Seldom, if ever, 

 has a series of works designed for popular 

 reading enlisted the labor and cooperation of 

 so many distinguished investigators. The new 

 magazine, "The Popular Science Monthly," 

 edited by Prof. Youmans, is meeting with 

 encouraging success. Other important works 

 are " Prehistoric Times," by Sir John Lubbock ; 

 " Elementary Treatise on Natural Philosophy," 

 by A. Privat Deschanel, translated, with Large 

 Additions, by Prof. J. D. Everett, of Belfast ; 

 " The Senses and the Intellect," by Alexander 

 Bain ; " Christian Theology and Modern Skep- 

 ticism," by the Duke of Somerset ; "Astrono- 

 my and Geology compared," by Lord Ormath- 

 waite ; " Man, and his Dwelling-Place," " Life
