NOTES ON BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

D. APPLETON & Co. promise two works of unusual interest. One is, Other Worlds than Ours; the Plurality of Worlds studied under the Light of Recent Scientific Researches, by Richard A. Proctor (now ready). This work has been exciting intense interest in England, and its reproduction here will be welcomed by all thinkers, and by all students or admirers of the grand science of astronomy. Following Mr. Proctor's work will appear Darwn's new volume, The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. The work is now passing through the press in England, and will appear in this country simultaneously with its publication in London. It is likely to awaken as profound attention, and excite as wide a discussion, as Mr. Darwin's remarkable "Origin of Species," when it appeared.

Does Protection Protect, by W. M. Grosvenor (Appleton). This book is one to which the term work may be fitly applied in its truest and best sense, for it is full of work from beginning to end. Throughout a volume of 360 pages, not one unnecessary word is to be found. The argument is supported by the largest array of well-selected and well-presented statistics bearing upon the subject that is to be found in any volume in any language with which we are acquainted. The spirit throughout is one of earnest inquiry and fairness, coupled with a modest diffidence that in one respect can scarcely fail to injure the work; for the title "Does Protection Protect?" conveys only the faintest possible idea of the range of the investigation whose results are here presented, and is apt to suggest to many persons the preconceived opinion against protection which is the very reverse of that from which the author started.-Nation.

The American News Company have published, for the author, a novel entitled The Golden Ladder; or, The Stolen Jewel (400 pages, cloth, $2; cloth, gilt edges, $2.50), by Mrs Sarah A. Wright, author of "The Gem of the Lake." The purpose of the work is to prove how much unhappiness is caused by mercenary marriages; it also advocates Freemasonry, self-culture, and Christian charity. Being written in a terse and vigorous style, it will doubtless find many readers and a large sale.

Double Play, by Edw. Everett (Lee & Shepard), "is second only to the Tom Brown books in merit and interest. It is the story of a Massachusetts school, and gives us a vivid picture of the boys at work, at play, in their ball matches, their rowing contests, and their boyish quarrels. It is a book full of life and sunshine. The story is well constructed, brisk in movement, and never flagging in interest. One could not ask for a brighter or better boys' book, and there are but few men who will not find it as interesting as though it were written expressly for them; instead of their sons at school.-Citizen and Round Table.

Life and Letters of Louis Moreau Gottschalk, by Octavia Hensel (Oliver Ditson & Co.), uniform in size and style with Mendelssohn's Letters and the similar musical publications of a few years past, is a love-offering by a pupil to the memory

of her "dear master and friend." Miss Hensel writes with the fervor of an enthusiast, weaving much of romance into her story, and clothing the memory of her musical idol and friend with much that a more prosaic public may not freely accept. But the book is nevertheless full of interesting information, related in a very attractive style, and exhibits the social as well as the artistic life of Gottschalk in a way that cannot fail to interest. Many letters of the composer are here' published, besides tributes from his intimate friend, George William Warren, and others. We have enjoyed

the volume exceedingly.— Christian Unior.
