Notes.

The article discusses several books and publishers. A.S. Barnes & Co. have in preparation Annals of Switzerland, by Julia M. Colton; and The History of the Waldenses, by Mme. Sophia Bompiani. New Amsterdam Book Co. will shortly bring out an unpublished work by the late Captain Sir Richard Burton, on Human Sacrifice Among the Sephardim, or Eastern Jews, with a portrait of the author. Copeland & Day issue immediately The Husband of Poverty. A Drama on the Life of Francis of Assisi, by Henry Neville Maugham. The two volumes of Occasional Papers of the late Dean Church, which his daughter has collected and Macmillan Co. has publish, consist almost entirely of reviews of books contributed to the Guardian, the Saturday Review, and the London Times.
