438 LITERATURE, AMERICAN, AND LITERARY PROGRESS IN 1875. 



works has appeared. The Faculty does not 

 seem to be, just at present, strong in litera-

ILLUSTRATED BOOKS. Illustration is now so 

 largely employed as an embellishment of books, 

 as well as an aid to the exposition of subjects, 

 that we can properly place under this head 

 only those books in which the ordinary rela- 

 tion of the letter-press to the engravings is re- 

 versed, or is nearly that of equality in impor- 

 tance. The publication of such books is less 

 called for by popular demand than heretofore, 

 the taste of purchasers inclining more to works 

 in which matter is paramount to ornament. 

 Perhaps our definition does injustice to some 

 of the works named below :

MISCELLANEOUS. Of the American Cyclopae- 

 dia, referred to last year, fifteen volumes have 

 appeared ; and the sales, it is believed, have 

 exceeded those of any equally extensive work 

 in this country. The fact is interesting, as an 

 indication of the large demand that exists and 

 is likely to exist in this country for books of 

 solid and permanent value. The amount of 

 flashy literature that is circulated may seem 

 ominous, but there are important facts of an- 

 other aspect to be set over against it. "John- 

 son's Cyclopaedia," which embodies the features 

 of gazetteer and dictionary, is a similar "sign 

 of the times." Duyckink's "Cyclopaedia of 

 American Literature," reedited, has appeared 

 in a new edition. We have no other work t > 

 compare with this, though one might conceive 

 of a possible advance upon it. The books 

 named below are, in part, such as seemed ir- 

 reducible to any of the heads of division, and 

 in part such as, having, in legislative phrase, 

 been read only by their titles, do not disclose to 

 the titular reader the nature of their contents : 



The Example of France. Two Essays on the Pay- 

 ment of the Indemnity and the Management of the 

 Currency since the German War, 1870-'74. By Vic- 

 tor Bonnet. Translated by George Walker. (D. 

 Appleton & Co.) 



A National Constitution the only Road to National 

 Peace. A Letter to the President of the United 

 States. By William Giles Dix. (Estes & Lauriat, 

 Boston.)
