John W. Parker and Son, West Strand. (1272) THE BIJOU POCKET BOOK for NEW TALE-"ELKERTON A RECTORY," by the Rev. J. PYCROFT, Author of "Twenty Years in the Church" (one of the most successful books of last season), is now being published weekly in the "BATH EXPRESS and LITERARY OBSERVER." ** The "Bath Express" is the best medium in the West of England for Publishers' and Authors' announcements. Its Reviews of New Works are more copious and critical than is usual in Provincial Papers, and more space is given to matters connected with Literature, Music, the Drama, Fine Arts, &c. It has consequently attained a high reputation in Literary and Fashionable circles, and its circulation is much larger than that of any other Newspaper in the district. The Numbers for December 24th, and three follow ing weeks, will be sent gratuitously to all the principal Scholastic Establishments within the range of its circulation, embracing not only the Bath district, in which alone there are Six large Collegiate Institu tions, both Church of England, Roman Catholic, and Wesleyan, but also the neighbouring Cities and Towns of Bristol, Wells, Frome, Chippenham, Bradford, Trowbridge, Devizes, Warminster, Clifton, &c. and the rural districts of Somersetshire, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire, containing a population of upwards of One Million. 1860, specially adapted as a Present.

' AND INCLUDING AMONG ITS CONTRIBUTORS MANY OF THE BEST KNOWN WRITERS OF THE DAY. Weekly Numbers, 1d.; Monthly Parts, 6d. ADDRESS. IT may seem unwarrantable in the minister of a large and populous city parish to undertake the labours and accept the responsibility of conducting a weekly magazine. I have been induced, however, to engage heartily and hopefully in this new and catholic enterprise by the cordial promises of literary aid which I have received from many well-known and tried writers connected with almost every branch of the Church of Christ, whose "GOOD WORDS" have become as "household words" in our Christian homes. "GOOD WORDS" will contain instructive and original articles on various topics of interest to the Christian Family: such as Expositions of Scripture for Sabbath-evening reading; Devotional Papers; Biographical Sketches of the great and good; Illus trations of the glory of God as displayed in His material works; Papers on Social Duties; Travels in Palestine, illustrative of the Bible, &c. &c. It is unnecessary to add, that "GOOD WORDS" will have no denominational connexion, but is intended to be a medium of communication between writers and readers of every portion of the Church of Christ. With these explanations and promises, I shall leave "GOOD WORDS" to find their way to those good hearts that are ready to receive them. May they prove winning words to the young, instructive words to the uninformed, comforting words to the afflicted, and to all words of truth, wisdom and love, so that after they have been uttered they may leave behind "endless echoes."

THE undersigned submit the following considerations to the Publishing Trade of Great Britain: I. The experience of some years, as realised by many of the first English Publishing Houses, prova that there is a remunerative demand for English editions in the United States, at fair prices. II. This demand is the better worth cultivating, because it has reference chiefly to books of a standard and expensive character, in all the branches that can engage the attention of scholars and students, as Classical Literature, Natural and Physical Science, History and Antiquities, Scientific Theology, Philelogy, &c., the sale of which is often tardy, even with works of the most assured merit. III. In the present state of the American book trade there is little prospect of large purchases by vendors, as, in the absence of an International Copyright Law, the superior profits to be realised by reprinting infallibly draw the American booksellers' capital in that direction in preference. IV. It follows from this that the only way for the English publisher to secure the advantages offered by this immense market, is to enter the field himself, and this he can do, without trouble, risk, or expense. through the Commission Agency of Messrs. SCRIBNER and Co. All books intrusted to them are at once brought before the American trade, and the prospect of their sale ascertained. Account-sales and Remittances are made three times a year, and no effort is spared to produce results satisfactory for al literary property of an appropriate character. Messrs. SAMPSON Low, SON, and Co., of 47 Ludgate Hill, act as our Shipping Agents, forwarding Goods every week, and will communicate any information that may be desired.
