association with the word 'finished.' And it was no mean part of it that he was trained to be a carpenter. If there is truth in the Jewish proverb, 'He who has not learned to work is brother to him that is a thief,' it was well for the youth Cassell to sweat at the bench. It developed muscle and manhood-a spirit of independence and a powerful physique. And it familiarised him with the wants and woes of the industrial classes, and fired him with the noble ambition to devote his life for their gool. Taught by experience how hard it is to break through Poverty's unconquerable bar,' he first determined by selfeducative efforts to surmount it for himself, and then to devise those admirable helps which have enabled so many to emulate his example. Mr. Cassell carried his own self-culture to a degree not often surpassed among the non-professional classes, including an extensive acquaintance with English literature, great general information, and a fair mastery of the French language, which he had often occasion to use.

Mr.

"In 1833, while young Cassell was still learning his trade, the temperance movement, in its total abstinence form, was commenced in Lancashire, under the active leadership of Mr. Joseph Livesey, of Preston, and soon surged over the land with all the energy of a young life. Livesey first met him while lecturing in Oakstreet Chapel, Manchester, in 1835 or 1836. remember quite well,' says he, his standing on the right, just below, or on the steps of the platform, in his working attire, with a fustian jacket and a white apron on.'

"It was in October, 1836, that young Cassell arrived in London, in quest of employment as a carpenter, and shortly after spoke at a temperance meeting in the New Jerusalem School-room, near the Westminster-road. Mr. J. P. Parker, who was present, describes him as a gaunt stripling, poorly clad, and travel-stained; plain, straightforward, and earnest in speech, but very broad in provincialism.' Shortly after this, on the 17th of November, he is found speaking on the same subject in Milton-street, Barbican. A gentleman present, who discerned his value, took him home with him to his own house, and recommended him to Mr. Meredith, who directly enrolled him among the temperance agents whom he was generously maintaining at his own expense. Cassell devoted himself to his new mission with characteristic energy and success, and made rapid strides in the walk of self-cultivation. A few months subsequently to his new appointment, he turns up as follows in the Preston Temperance Advocate, April, 1837 :-John Cassell, the Manchester carpenter, has been labouring amidst many privations with great success in the county of Norfolk. He is passing through Essex, on his way to London. He carries his watchman's rattle, an excellent accompaniment of temperance labour.'

"It was about the year 1850 that the Working Man's Friend' first appeared-the type and pioneer of many a literary boon since to the working man. The Great Exhibition that soon followed, gave scope to Mr. Cassell's energies in the Illustrated Exhibitor,' a comprehensive and well-executed scheme for securing to the people a permanent reflex of the World's Great Fair. In a tasteful form, this was repeated on the occasion of the International Exhibition of 1862. The following, amongst others, are the works that have issued, in quantities almost incredible, from the teeming press in La Belle Sauvage-yard. We name them in the order in which they appeared: -The 'Popular Educator,' 'Illustrated Family

CORRESPONDENCE.

PURCHASES AND REMAINDERS.

To the Editor of "THE BOOKSELLER." DEAR SIR, I will not allow myself to be drawn into a controversy with Messrs. Griffin & Co.; yet I must ask you to allow me to say a word or two in reply to their note in your last Number.

"What is a Remainder?" such is the heading of Messrs. Griffin's note. They forget, however, to answer this simple question, although they still insist that they bought the Remainders of the works of Guthrie, Boyd, Macleod, and others. Either one of two things then: the stocks of these works at 148, Strand, must be spectres, like the Davenport Brothers' spirits; or Messrs. Griffin & Co. have made a new discovery in the laws of matter, by which it is demonstrable that a remainder of a thing and the thing itself can exist at the same time. On either horn of this dilemma they must rest.

In your last Number, page 270, Messrs. Griffin & Co. advertise a list of "Purchases and Remainders." They know now, then, that books can be purchases without being remainders. Had they realised this a little earlier, and advertised the books they bought from me as "Purchases of the Works," &c., I would have had no fault to find with them, except on the score of taste. But to have advertised them as "Remainders,' and thus given the Trade to understand, as they did do, that the books were out of regular sale, showed either gross ignorance of the use of language, or something much worse. If Messrs. Griffin & Co. do not see this, I can only say, so much the worse for their sight. Yours truly,

ALEXANDER STRAHAN. 148, Strand, 29th May, 1865.

UNFAIR DEALING.

To the Editor of the BOOKSELLER.

[ocr errors]

SIR, --I think that the unfairness which the retail trade experiences at the hands of the proprietors of "Hymns, Ancient and Modern" ought to be publicly censured in your columns.

The enclosure will show you that the copy which has the largest sale (AA.) is sold to the clergy at the same price as to the trade; also, with greater unfairness, that copies of A., which stand almost second in demand, are sold considerably below the trade price to the same class of purchasers.

Comment on such facts can hardly be necessary, although condemnation may have to be called for. The case may be fitly concluded by stating that this excessive and unnatural liberality has, for its counterpart, most stringent and unaccommodating terms to the trade.-Yours, obediently, A COUNTRY BOOKSELLER.
