    To-Day We Enter Upon A New Season. If It...

    TO-DAY we enter upon a new season . If its prosperity may be anticipated from the

    indications of coming events , we should say that the signs are most auspicious . The lists of

    forthcoming works are not only important from a numerical point of view , but they also

    contain the names of some books which promise to be great in the literature of the

    century and of the world . Th —— irty — ^ j ^ years ago \ m . ^ the same mig ^ m-r ht truly mrbe

    said . War then filled the minds of the English people with anxiety and excitement , but

    troubles A . A . abroad did not entirely paralyse enterprise JL at home . 9 On referring to the

    number of the PublishersCircular for October 1 , I 1855 , we find among the announcements of

    i forthcoming works — the third and fourth volumes of ' Mr . Macaulay ' s " History of

    England , " ' the fourth and fifth volumes of ' Mr . Merivale ' s " History of the Romans under the

    Empire , " and the seventh and eighth volumes of * Moore ' s Memoirs , Journal and

    Correspondence , ' edited by the Right Honourable Lord John Russell . Various books on Russian

    subjects of course appear . ' Little Dorrit' is announced as the ' new serial in preparation

    by Mr . Dickens . ' Mr . Charles Knight is to begin the issue in monthly parts of a * Popular

    History of England / and * The Saturday 6 Review start next of month Politics . ' , Science , and Art' is to

    Thirty years ago ! The time is brief , but all the writers we have named have passed

    away , while their names and works have found a firm and enduring place in the affections

    of the British nation . Then , as now , might be found the signs of

    the extension of literature for the people . Cheap editions were being published in

    numbers , and new works were being issued at popular prices . But present-day literature , in

    that branch , is far more extensive than it was , and it is needless to say that it is rapidly

    increasing . Nothing can be more striking , in looking over the lists of announcements with

    which publishers have favoured us , than the imposing appearance of the host of new works

    issued especially for the people . Great companies and great firms give continued attention

    ito this increasing department , in which philanthropy , as well as mercantile enterprise ,

    may be observed to work in unison . ; Probably the new books that will occupy a

    large share , of public attention will , at the outset , be Dr . Schliemann's 'Tiryns , ' * The

    Mfpxd mpersonal . Tennyson Memoir ' s , new of \ volume Geiieral pf XJ poems , S . Grant . < JBi , e ' '

    & c . But by a reference to the following list J others will be noted which will in all likelihood ¦

    be in demand . — — - " ^«^» ^^ ^^^ ™^ l We would especially notice the modern

    advance in the publishing of series of books . Several important works of this description

    ar lieation e promised . Important or are actuall works y in in this cou dep rse artment of pub * I

    are the * English Worthies' Series and the * Badminton Library , ' both from the press of

    Messrs . Longmans & Co ; then we have Cassell ' s ' World ' s Workers' Series and the

    'Rainbow' Series of novels from the same firm ; and Messrs . Macmillan & Co . have

    their * English Citizen , ' * English Men of Lett -ijetLers ers , ' an ana d ' English Jiingiisn Statesmen oratesmen ' S Series eries .

    besides their promised important series re- lating to the advancement of geographical

    study . These are a few of the more important works of this description .

    A perusal of the following lists will show that there is reason to be gratified with the

    first promise of the season 1885-86 . * * Diaries and Almanacs . —In the next

    issue ( October 15 ) of the Publishers' Circular some attention will be devoted to the

    department of diaries and almanacs . Publishers of these works should communicate with

    the Editor , who will be obliged if all suitable particulars — are forwarded to him as early as

    possible . w
