F there is any month when a publisher may ask for serious attention to the 



announcements of books on which work has been going on for a year, or 

 perhaps several years, it is during November. The booksellers of the country 

 have been generous in their orders this fall, and all of the books described 

 below are to be found in all good book-stores in the United States. We ask our readers to 

 look at the publications which attract them at their local book-stores; or, if out of reach of 

 a book-store, the books will be sent direct from our office at the prices indicated, except 

 in the case of net books, when an extra charge for postage is made. For purposes of 

 convenience, the list is alphabetically arranged :
