UMONG THE PUBLISHERS. ‘The Fall Campaign—A Splendid List—Novels by New and Old Authors—Musie and D ease—History, Biography, Theol- ogy, Holiday Literature and the Magazines. The New York publishers have entered upon their fall trade with characteristic pluck and enterprise. Judging from the rich and varied list (obtained from the principal houses) which we present below, the “hard times” nave had little effect upon the publishers, unless, possibly, to confine them, in the main, to a more substantial ‘end thoroughly legitimate class of works. BAKER—“GUY LIVINGSTONE” —NORDHOFF, Harper & Brothers evidently have no tear of a Bull season, for they come into the fleid loaded fown with every variety of literature. Perhaps she most important book on their list is “lemailia,” a narrative of the expedition to Cen- (wal Airioa for the suppression of the slave trade, organized by Ismail, Knédive of Egypt, by Sir Samuel Baker, F. KG. S., tc., &c., with maps and more than fifty full-page tilustrations. Another book of Airican discovery will be the “Last Journais of Dr. Livingstone and the Narra- tion of His Expedition,” by Sir Samuel Baker. The papers of Dr. Livingstone, inciuding those confided by him to Mr. Stanley, will be edited by ‘he Rev. Horace Waller, a personal friend, who wpent much time with the Doctor in Africa. Harper & Brotners will also issue the following :— “David, King of Israel,” by the Rev. William M. Taylor, of the Broadway Tabernacle; “Politics for Young Americans,” by Charies Nordhof; “Biple Customs of Bible Lands,” by the Rev, H. J. Van Lennep, with over two hun- Gred illustrations; “The Communistic Societies of the United States,” by Charles Nordhof. This book will be one of unusual interest, as it will contain a sketch of every “community” in the United States, from Uneida to Salt Lake City. “Remains of Lost Empires,” by ?. V. N. Myers, ‘with. lilustrations; “Nursery Noonings,’”? one of @ati Hamilton’s piquant productions, and “Our | Next Door Neighbor—a winter in Mexico,’’ by the | Rev. Bishop Gilbert Haven, D. D. By way of lighter reading they will publish ‘The | Little Lame Prince,” by the wuthor of “Joho Haliiax;” and new novels by the author of ‘Guy Livingstone” (who has been silent ior three years), by the author of ‘St, Olaves,” by Frank Lee Benedict, by B. L. Farjeon, Mrs. Eiloart, Miss Havers and Charity Gibbon. HOLLAND—SAINTINE— STANLEY. Scribner, Armstrong & Vo. are busy sending out Dr. Holland’s new poem, “The Mistress of the Manse,” and Jules Verne’s new book, “The Mys- teriousIsiand.” ‘The Mistress of the Manse” has already reached its fourteeath thousand, and ‘Promises to rival “Bitter Sweet”? and “Kathrina”’ ‘am popularity. The rage for Jules Verne is some- thing astonisning, though not more astonishing, Perhaps, than the suthor’s untiring industry and fertuity of invention. In order to recommend shis latest work of tis—or this balf of it, for the story will be still further continued in Scribner's Monthiy—we need only mention that one of tts Reroes is a reporter for the New YORK HERALD. ‘This firm bave on the list some important works for the holidays, principal among which are Paul Marcoy’s “Travels Across South America,” in two large volumes, containing 500 engravings, maps, éc., and Saintine’s ‘Myths of the Rhine,” with 150 Gesigns by Doré, a book as witty in style as itis e@musaing 10 illustration. Doré fairly revels in the grotesque subjects-afforded-by the letter press, It is strange that American publishers should be, as ‘we understand isthe case, the first to procure a ¢ransiation in English of a book by so celebrated a@writer as the author of *Picciola.” From the ‘game puolishers we have,or are to have, anew and cheaper edition of Stanley’s “How I Found Livingstone,” with a further chapter giving ® sketch o/ Dr. Livimgstone’s entire career, and vringing down the record to the time of his death; a new and cheaper edition of Stock- ton’s capital “Round About Rambles; a volume ‘of Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge’s “Rbymes and Jingles” {now first collected), than which of their kind there is nothing brighter, wore hearty, more ‘wholesome or more popular among the little folk Shemselves; a fourth bric-a-brac book, very uch like the frst in character of contents; “Ex- plorations in Nineveh, Assyria and Babylonia,” by Mr. George Smith, of the British Museum, illus trated; another story by Erckmann-Chatrian, ealled “Maftre Mablot,” anda sketching college life im France; Rev. Dr. Hurst’s “Life and Literature 3m the Patneriana,” and Eugene Schuyier’s “Notes of a Journey in the Russian Provinces of Tur- Kestan, the Kbamates of Khokan and’ Bokara, end Provinces o/ Kuidja.” Among the more solid works of Scribner, Arm- Strong & Co, are Curtius’ “History of Greece” (the Qfth volume) ; volumes two and three of Froude’s mach criticized “History of Ireland,” @ new edi- Sion of Minister Marsh’s nobie work, under the title of “The Earth as Modified by Human Action ;” Van Oosterzee’s ‘Christian Dogmatics,’’ additions] volumes.in the handy series of *-Epochs Of History,” Torrey’s “Theory ot Fine Art,” Mur- fay’s “Mannail of Mythology,” the fifth volume of “Tue Speaker's Commentary,” on Isatah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Damiel; “Tne Paraciete,” by an gathor whose mame is not given; a new volume by Professor Whitney, the volume on “Job,” in “Lange’s Commentary; “God in Human Thought,” and “The Moral System,” by Dr. Gillett. MOLESWORTH—MEYER—TYNDALL, ‘The house of Scribner, Welford & Armstrong, a Branch of the above, import all their books from England. Just before the holidays they get to- gether a gorgeous collection of ioreign illustrated books at all sorta and prices. Just now their an- mouncements are principally of more matter of fact and substantial literature, such as D’Anvers’ “Elementary History of Art,” being an imtroduc- Mon to ancient and modern architecture, sculp- Gare, painting and music, profusely illustratea; a “History of England,” from 1830 to within the last $wo orthree years, by Rev.
