SCRIBNER, ARMSTRONG & CO.'S NEW BOOKS. NEW EDITIONS. THE LATEST I. NOVEL BY DR. HOLLAND. SEVENOAKS, A STORY OF TO-DAY. By J. G. HOLLAND, author of Arthur Bonnicastle," "Kathrina," Mistress of the Manse," etc. With 12 Illustrations from designs by Sol. Eytinge. One vol., 12mo, cloth, $1.75. Sevenoaks" is the most notable contribution made for years to American fiction. Its vigorous style and exciting plot have seized and held the attention of steadily increasing thousands of readers, as the story has appeared from month to month in Scribner's Magazine. In none of Dr. Holland's previous works, whether prose or poetry, are there truer sympathetic touches, more poetic bits of out-door description, or more clearly and strongly drawn sketches of character. Jim Fenton, the rough, big-hearted backwoodsman; the handsome Mrs. Dillingham; Parson Snow; and the central figure of the story-the unscrupulous financier and speculator, Mr. Belcher, are a few of the prominent actors in this drama of real life, whom the reader can never forget after he has once made their acquaintance. II. A POEM BY A NEW AUTHOR : THE NEW DAY, A POEM IN Songs and SONNETS. BY RICHARD WATSON GILDER. One vol., 12mo, with unique illustrations, especially engraved for the work by Henry Marsh. Tastefully bound in new and beautiful style. Price, $1.50. The author has already gained reputation as assistant editor of Scribner's Monthly since its commencement, and by the delicate quality of "The Old Cabinet," his special department of that magazine. In literary circles he is known to be a true singer, who has bided his time before addressing his voice to a large audience, Mr. Gilder's verse is marked by an earnestness unusual in these times, and is full of subtle passion, expressed with melodious and finished art. The book will be decorated with new and beautiful designs, engraved by Henry Marsh. One of the most charming of recent publications. In freshness and grace they suggest Hawthorne's Old Home. The writer's descriptions are rendered with a most attractive fluency and are enlivened with a wit that is quiet but thoroughly entertaining." IV. A New Volume in the "Bric-a-Brac" Series.

A REGULAR meeting of the Central Booksellers' Association will be held on Tuesday, of literature. The "Vest-Pocket Series" is opened with "Snow-Bound," in dainty shape, and Viollet-le-Duc's "Discourses on Architecture," and several volumes in their new editions of standard authors, are also ready. THE Putnams announce for this month's publication Andersson's new notes of travel in South-western Africa, a field which this wellknown explorer and writer has pre-empted; a "Taxidermist's Manual," in the Popular Manual Series, and a number of new juveniles by George Cary Eggleston, Mrs. Johnston, and some English writers. THOSE fond of ghosts and goblins will find their fill of the horrible in a forthcoming reprint by G. W. Carleton & Co., from the recent London publication of a "History of the Supernatural," by Frederic Lee, Vicar of All Saints, Lambeth. 46 THE Scribners will next publish Dr. Holland's new novel of "Sevenoaks," Mr. R. W. Gilder's poem of "The New Day," and the new edition of Mr. F. R. Stockton's happy collection of miscellany for the little people, "Roundabout Rambles. The magnificent volumes on Spain" and "India" are also about ready. Sevenoaks" is generally regarded as the most forcible novel the doctor has yet written. Mr. Gilder's poem, a collection of songs and sonnets having one theme and a continuous development, picturing the rise and growth of a great emotion in the soul, addresses itself to those who appreciate real poetical quality. It is a poem for poets-and for lovers-and for other people. The illustrations, engraved by Henry Marsh, are rather decorations than pictures, and the binding, with its radiant peacockplume, is as unique as the poem. PROF. HENRY COPPEE, LL.D., President of the Lehigh University, has undertaken the editing and annotating of the American edition of the Count of Paris' "History of the Civil War in the last of the month.
