— Gebbie & Co., Philadelphia, will shortly publish " Half a 

 Century of Music in England," by the late Francis Hueffer. The 

 book was finished just before the death of the popular author. 



— D. C. Heath & Co. will soon publish the "Public School 

 Music Course," by Charles E. Whiting, formerly teacher of music 

 in the Boston public schools. It will be a series of six graded 

 music-readers, adapted to all the primary and grammar-school 



grades, and intended to lead up to the author's " High School 

 Music Reader." Time-names, breathing-marks, etc., are included, 

 and every thing necessary for a complete music course. There is a 

 large number of one, two, three, and four part songs, selected from 

 the best German, English, French, and American composers. 

 Each of the first three numbers has, besides the songs, over three 

 hundred exercises. The first two books will be illustrated.

Tlie Electrical Articles 



In Scribner's Magazine 



are begun in The June Number, by Prof. C. F. Brackett of Princeton, by a paper 

 entitled " Electricity in the Service of Man," setting forth in a clear, precise way, 

 some of the common methods by which the more important electrical phenomena are produced. The illustrations 

 are copious and beautiful. Other articles in the series will follow (z'.s.)," Electricity in Modern Telegraphy," 

 by Charles L. Buckingham, chief electrical expert of Western Union Tel. Co.; " Electricity in Lighting," by 

 Henry Morton, President Stevens' Institute ; " Electricity in the Household," by A. E. Kennelly, chief 

 electrician in laboratory of Thomas A. Edison ; " Electricity in relation to the Human Body," by Dr. M. 

 Allen Starr ; " Electricity in 'Warfare," by Lieut. W. S. Hughes, U.S.N.; " Electricity in Large Indus- 

 tries," etc., etc., etc. 



This 1)7111 be one of the most interesting and valuable series of articles ever at- 

 tempted. Nothing will be left undone to make*it surpass in popularity the " Rail- 

 road Series," begun about a year ago in Scribner's.
