Notes.

This article presents information regarding publishing of books on various topics. Macmillan & Co. will publish "Life or Adam Smith," by John Rae, "Studies in Social Life and Theory," edited by B. Bosanquet, and, in connection with J.M. Dent & Co., a translation of Honorede Balzac's works under the editorship and direct supervision of George Saintsbury, with etched illustrations. The reprinting of classical novels promises to go forward this year with renewed activity, and with no falling off in mechanical beauty.
