or official issues of particular acts or laws, such as the Internal Revenue Law, the General Corporation Law of New York, the Joint Stock Act of Connecticut, and the Metropolitan Board of Health and Excise Laws of New York, as well as their ordinances. The publication of "Daniell's English Chancery Reports," edited and adapted by J. C. Perkins to American Chancery Practice, of "Hurleton and Coltman's English Exchequer Reports," adapted by Samuel Dickson, and of "Best and Smith's English Common Law Reports," was continued during the year.

Of these, eight either published their poems anonymously, or under a nom de plume whose identity is not yet recognized. Eight were new poems or collections by poets of established reputation, viz., J. G. Whittier (Snow-Bound); J. G. Saxe (Masquerade and other Poems); T. Buchanan Read (collected Poems in three volumes); Bayard Taylor (The Picture of St. John); Alfred B. Street (collected Poems in two volumes); Alice Cary (Ballads, Lyrics, and Hymns); James Russell Lowell (The Biglow Papers, second series); and H. W. Longfellow (Flower de Luce).

Piatt (Poems in Sunshine and Firelight); Herman Melville (Battle Pieces and Aspects of the War); George Arnold (Drift, a Seashore Idyl, and other poems), and Abraham Coles, M. D.

Aside from these, there were about the usual number of compilations, including three of the lyric poems elicited by the War-one, of the Northern poems, by Richard Grant White, and two, of the Southern poems, by W. Gilmore Simms and Miss Emily V. Mason; a new and materially enlarged edition of Mr. Charles A. Dana's "Household Book of Poetry; one of Mr. J. W. Palmer's "Folk Songs; """Poems of Religion, Sorrow, Comfort, Counsel, and Aspiration," selected by Prof. F. J. Childs, and several other volumes of consolatory poetry; "Hymns of Progress," collected by Levi K. Coonley; and two pretty volumes of selected poetry, entitled "Drifted Snow Flakes," and "Home Songs for Home Birds." There were also reprints and new illustrated editions of Longfellow's, James and Horace Smith's, Whittier's, and Lowell's poems, of Drake's "Culprit Fay," and American editions of Tennyson's, Swinburne's, Buchanan's, Mrs. E. B. Browning's, Miss Christina G. Rossetti's, Rev. II. R. Bonar's, T. K. Hervey's, Miss Mulock's, and Mrs. Charles's poems, as well as of the standard poets of a former generation. Some of the latter were finely illustrated. In addition to these, there were several collections of hymns for religious worship.

Ireland's "Record of the New York Stage, 1750 to 1860;" "American Leaves, Familiar Notes of Thought and Life,” by Samuel Osgood; "Notice of Poems and Reviews (Laus Veneris and other Poems and Ballads), by Algernon Charles Swinburne. In addition to these, a complete and elegant American edition of Burke's Works, and one of Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy," passed through the press during the year.

In Philology, the most important works were the late Rev. Dr. F. L. Hawks's "The English Language, Elementary Instruction;" several new and excellent Text-books for the thorough study of the French Language, by Magill; Maurice Poitevin, Olivet Beleze, and Ledru; Dean Alford's "Plea for the Queen's English,' reprinted here, and Mr. Washington Moon's caustic review of it, under the title of "The Dean's English;" Prof. W. H. Green's "Elementary Hebrew Grammar," and Prof. Adler's edition of Wilhelm Humboldt's "Course of Linguistical Studies."

Of the one hundred and forty-one works of the Statistical Class, there are few perhaps of other than local interest except the 4th volume of the United States Census for 1860, which at rather a late date gave the educational, philanthropic, religious, and miscellaneous statistics collected in that enumeration. The Statistical Almanacs, and the Gazetteers of the different States, which with the Business Directories make up the greater part of this class, possess much local value, but hardly require a place in such a record as this. The following have more general interest: "The List of the Union Soldiers Buried at Andersonville; " Mr. J. Disturnell's "U.S. Register or Blue Book for 1866;" "The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac for the Year 1867; ""The Preliminary Report on the State Census of New York; " Hitchcock's "Chronological Record of the American Civil War, from November 8, 1860, to June 3, 1865;" "The American Annual Cyclopædia, for 1866; " Mr. William P. Blake's "Annotated Catalogue of the Principal Mineral Species hitherto recognized in California and the adjoining States and Territories, being a Report to the California State Board of Agriculture; "Ashcroft's Railway Directory for 1866; "The United States Official Army Register of the Volunteer Force of the United States Army for the Years 1861-65, Part II., New York and New Jersey;" Kelly's "American Catalogue, comprising Books published in the United States (original and reprints), from January, 1861, to January, 1866," etc., etc.; "The Metric System, a Compilation; ""A Complete List of Booksellers, Stationers, and News Dealers in the United States and the Canadas," by John H. Dingman; "Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima, à Description of Works relating

to America, published between the Years 1492 and 1551," by Henry Harrisse.

Under the head of the Fine Arts, including in this books of extraordinary beauty of illustration, the number of American books, was small. Perhaps the finest, certainly the most remarkable of the American gift books, for the work bestowed on it, was Mrs. Badger's "Floral Belles from the Green House and Garden," with sixteen large folio illustrations, all painted from Nature for each copy, by Mrs. Badger herself. Other illustrated books of some merit, were, "The King's Ring," by Theodore Tilton, illuminated by Frank Jones; "Roses and Holly, a Book for all the Year; ""Evangeline, illustrated by Darley; " Mr. P. B. Wright's "Photographs and Descriptions of the National Academy of Design;" Mr. G. W. Carleton's humorous brochure, "Our Artist in Peru," which possessed great merit in its way; "Esop's Fables," in quarto, with lithographic illustrations, was very creditable to the artist. The foreign illustrated books were, many of them, of great beauty, and were imported in large quantities. Doré's Illustrated Bible in French, his illustrations of Tennyson's "Elaine," John Leigh ton's "Life of Man Symbolized by the Months of the Year," and many others which might be named, were very creditable to the skill of foreign designers, engravers, and printers. Of Art manuals, there were a few; the most important were Newman's "Manual of Harmonious Coloring, as applied to Photography;" Palgrave's "Essays on Art," and Rev. Dr. G. W. Samson's "Elements of Art Criticism." Other works relating to art were Richard M. Hunt's "Designs for the Gateways of the Southern Entrance to the Central Park; " Mr. T. Addison Richards's "Guide to the Central Park." Mr. D. H. Jacques published "The House, a Manual of Rural Architecture; " and Mr. G. W. Woodward a work on "Architecture, Landscape Gardening, and Rural Art."

The works published under the head of Music during the year, consisted of collections of church music, Sunday-school music books, glee books, and charts, adapted to the service of the Episcopal Church. Of the last description were Dr. II. S. Cutler's "Trinity Psalter," and Mr. J. H. Hopkins, Jr.'s “Canticles Noted " and accompanying "Harmonies and Common Praise for the Book of Common Prayer." Of church music books the principal were "The Book of Praise of the Reformed Dutch Church;" Mr. J. E. Perkins's "Golden Promise," and "The Psalm King; " Mr. McIntosh's "Taber, or the Richmond Collection of Sacred Music; Dr. Lowell Mason's "New Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book." For Sunday-schools, the principal books were Rev. E. P. Hammond's "Praises of Jesus;" Converse and Goodenough's "Sunday-School Singer; " Philip Phillips's "Singing Pilgrim;" Mr. Bradbury's "Golden Hymns,' and his "New Golden Chain; " Dr. Lowell Mason's "Song Garden," "Third Book," and "The Band of Hope Melodies." Besides these

there were "The New Melodeon," by Rev. J. W. Dadman; "The Social Hymn Book" (with tunes) of the Presbyterian Publication Committee; and Mr. G. L. Taylor's "Six Centenary Hymns," with music. Of new secular music books, the only important ones were Mr. G. F. Root's "Coronet, a Collection of Music; and Mr. T. F. Seward's "Sunnyside Glee Book." The space necessarily allotted to this article does not permit us to give the titles in full of the two hundred and forty-one works of fiction, or the three hundred and ninety juveniles published during 1866; we can at best only give the names of the authors and perhaps the titles of a few of the most remarkable in each class. Of American writers of fiction the following published more than one work during the year: Mrs. J. Sadlier, six; Edward Willett and W. J. Hamilton, each four; Roger Starbuck and J. Stanley Henderson, each three; Lieutenant Murray, C. Dunning Clarke, J. T. Trowbridge, James L. Bowen, "Anna Argyle," A. Stewart Harrison, Mrs. Louise Clack, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, "Ned Buntline" (E. Z. C. Judson), Mrs. Anna E. Porter, Mrs. Ann H. Stephens, Capt. L. C. Carleton, the author of "Luke Darrell," Edward E. Ellis, the author of "Zeke Sternum," two each.
