Eighty-five Illustrations, several in color. 8vo... .$5 "Those who read the book through carefully by the help of the beautiful illustrations with which it is lavishly embellished, will not only obtain an excellent idea of the spirit of medieval architecture, but a better knowledge of the art of fortification from the earliest ages up to recent times than could be found in any other way short of the research and M. study which the author has himself given to the matter. Viollet-le-Duc is master of the subject, and imparts his learning in a thoroughly fascinating manner."-Saturday Review (London). The great popularity of the "Little Classics" has suggested the issue of another series of yet smaller volumes, containing some of the most notable brief works of several of the authors on our list.

ROCKS AHEAD; Literary .$2 OR, THE WARNINGS OF CASSANDRA. By W. R. GREG, author of " Enigmas of Life." " and Social Judgments." 1 vol., 12m0.. Enigmas of Life" and "Literary and Social Judgments" have made Mr. Greg widely known as a profound and exceptionally sincere thinker. "Rocks Ahead" is a note of warning to England that her industrial, commercial, and social future is very cloudy. The conditions of life in England and America are essentially so alike, and many of the evils Mr. Gregg deplores are so conspicuous in this country, that the book ought to find many readers here.

SUPPLEMENTARY "BOOK FAIR," COMMENCING Thursday, October 21, 1875. TO THE TRADE. The "Book Fair" in July, inaugurated by the American Book Trade Association, having been held at a season of the year when a comparatively small amount of stock is needed by the Trade, and more particularly Books adapted for the Fall and Holiday Sales, such as new books, etc., etc., the Committee appointed by the American Book Trade Association have deemed it advisable to announce a SUPPLEMENTARY "BOOK FAIR" for one week, commencing on Thursday, October 21st, at the Booksellers' Exchange and Clearing-House, as before. In order to thoroughly test the system of "Book Fairs," with reference to making them a semi-annual permanency, the Committee consider it important, and hope that all Publishers will be fully represented at this meeting, and have directed the Managers to make the announcement as above. The Committee would also represent to buyers the importance and necessity of settling in full for their purchases, immediately on receipt of such statement from the Manager. This is absolutely necessary, and must be done. Otherwise it would be impossible for the Managers to fulfill their obligations to Publishers by paying cash for all sales in thirty days from the close of the sale. There is no reason why buyers should not be willing to attend to this important matter, and at once, as all differences can be adjusted and settled at a subsequent date, without loss to any one. Another reason for promptness in this particular will be that all purchases not settled for within fifteen days after the Sale will become net cash, without discount, and the purchasers will then lose the credit to which they would otherwise be entitled. Committee on Book Fair appointed by the American Book Trade Association. WM. H. APPLETON, New-York, Chairman. WILLIAM LEE, Boston. A. C. MCCLURG, Chicago. In accordance with the directions of the Committee, a Supplementary Book Fair will be held for one week, at the Booksellers' Exchange and ClearingHouse, commencing Thursday, October 21st, with special reference to supplying the wants of the Trade in HOLIDAY, JUVENILE, MISCELLANEOUS, AND SCHOOL STOCK. RULES AND REGULATIONS. The Exchange will be open for business daily, during its session, from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. Each Publishing House will have specimens of such books as are necessary, and will have a desk at the Sale Rooms, where some member of the firm, with his clerk, may be found during the period assigned for the holding of the meeting of the Exchange. Each firm to be allowed to make such special prices as they may think best in each individual case. Any Bookseller desirous to purchase may obtain a credit from Leavitt & Co., on four and six months' time for such amounts as he wishes, as per terms of sale. Purchasers at the Exchange must be personally present, or be represented by a clerk fully authorized to make purchases. Books will be packed by the respective contributors; and where the lots are small, arrangements can be made to have purchases from several invoices packed, and no charge will be made except for boxes and cartage. All purchases shall be made in good faith for the sole use of the respective purchaser. No goods shall be bought or sold at the Exchange except under the letter of credit from Messrs. Leavitt & Co. No business shall be transacted at the Exchange except by members; and all transactions shall be made under the rules of the Exchange. All questions in dispute to be decided by the Committee on Booksellers' Exchange and Clearing-House. The Committee express the hope that all members of the Exchange will unite in carrying out the rules of the Exchange, and discountenance any thing not in accordance with its spirit and intent. AND Booksellers' Clearing GEO. A. LEAVITT & CO., Managers, SUPPLEMENTARY BOOK FAIR Thursday, October 21st. During the holding of the Exchange the Managers will offer to the Trade The Lists of all the Houses there represented, on a credit of four and six months. These favorable terms, together with such special inducements as Publishers may offer in reduction of prices, etc., etc., are made only for the time specified. The Publishers do not, and will not, extend their usual terms of credit, and it is only for this occasion that these unusual advantages of prices and credit are offered to the Trade, and it must be distinctly understood that immediately after the close of the Exchange the usual terms of credit and prices will be maintained. It is hoped, therefore, that the Purchasing Trade of the country will not only avail themselves of these peculiar advantages offered by the Publishers, through the Exchange (and which advantages can not be obtained in any other way), but at the same time substantially aid the work of reform. The Managers are permitted to state that THE AMERICAN BOOK TRADE ASSOCIATION earnestly desire that the Trade throughout the country will give its hearty and active support in establishing and maintaining the Exchange. This plan of sale is an essential feature of the great movement for reform. It has all the advantages of the Trade Sale, without any of the evils attendant upon that system. Supplementary "Book Fair," Thursday, Oct. 21st. The following, among other New-York houses, will be represented at the Fair. D. APPLETON & Co., A. S. BARNES & Co., CLARK & MAYNARD, DODD & MEAD, E. P.

A letter of credit to purchase may be obtained from Messrs. LEAVITT & Co., for such an amount as desired. This should be attended to in advance of the meeting of the Exchange; if not, parties should come prepared with the name of their endorser, and references as to the responsibility of the endorser from reliable parties, say from a Cashier of a National Bank in the neighborhood, that no unnecessary delay may arise in commencing business. A good endorser from the residence of the buyer will be satisfactory. A Statement will be rendered each purchaser, immediately after the close of the Sale, of the net amounts bought as reported from each contributor, and such gross amount of all the purchases shall be settled for immediately, by two notes of equal amounts, at four and six months' time (if more than $1000, or, if preferred, three notes at four, five, and six months).
