accurately defined as a "closed ticket placed secretly in a box or urn, and stating the way in which a vote is given;" nor do we think the quotation from the works of A. Fonblanque, jun., is the best that could have been found as an illustration. Sometimes we look in vain for words in ordinary use, and which should certainly be found in a work of such pretension as this. Sportsmen who have made a bet as to the meaning of "battue," and appeal for decision to the latest edition of Johnson's Dictionary, will be disappointed when they find that the word does not occur in that work; and the disappointment experienced by the sportsman will be shared in by the numismatist, the architect, the botanist, the conchologist, and the mineralogist, under similar circumstances. A carriage with a falling top, which we call a barouche, does not appear to have ever come under the notice of the editor, although the extract he gives from Mr. Disraeli proves that he is acquainted with a brougham. Our readers will perceive our strictures refer only to a few pages of the work. It is possible we lighted on a sheet or two to which the attention of the Editor was not particularly given, and that the work farther on becomes more perfect. We cannot say: we have gone no further, and can speak only of what we have examined. It is clear to us, however, that a perfect dictionary is still a desideratum, and that the man has yet to appear who will do for our day what Johnson did for his.

ceeded in finding an omission, but have in each case discovered the word sought with a clear definition, and a notification of the district in which it prevailed, or the authors by whom it has been used. Our only objection is that numerous words are admitted which are not Scottish, but are still used by good authors on this side Tweed as well as on the other. In the next edition it would be well, we think, if these were expunged from the volume.

Chambers's Etymological Dictionary of the English Language. Edited by JAMES DONALD, editor of Chambers's "Readings in English Literature."-The editor of this work takes credit for the excellence of certain distinctive features of his Dictionary. He bestows high praise upon the vocabulary, the arrangement, the pronunciation he adopts, the meanings he gives, and the etymology he has assigned to the words. A glance, however, at the pages devoted to the words under A and B, has convinced us that, to speak mildly, he has greatly overrated the extent of the success he has achieved. In each department, indeed, there are numerous errors to be detected. He tells us the work contains the derivations of every word in the language (as far as has been discovered), and that the results of the most recent philological research have been embodied; but he supplies no derivation to such well-known words bacon " or baize," and he tells us Cameo is derived from " gemma," ignorant that "the most recent philological research derives this much disputed word from the Persian "camahen," loadstone, the material first employed for signets. Even when his derivation is correct, it is given in a way that will be unintelligible by those to whom the work is chiefly addressed. Artery," he tells us, is derived from aer and tereo, "to keep ;" whilst, if he had told us that tereo meant also "to contain," he would have given his readers an intelligible meaning. But from a wish, apparently, to differ from other lexicographers, and to show his own originality, he is at once inconsistent and provokingly vague. He tells us "logos," in the word astrology, means "knowledge;" in the word biology," discourse." His definitions are not better than his derivations. He announces that "the meanings are arranged and expressed in a manner which will be readily appreciated by the teacher." The editor is manifestly unacquainted with our best-known and most-practised games. "Billiards he defines The to be a game played with a cue and two balls. fact is, however, that the game is played with three balls. 66 Aphorism" is defined as "a short, pithy sentence," but he should have added, "containing a precept;" for he will not maintain that the short, pithy sentence, "let there be light," is an aphorism. "Blab" is given as a verb-to talk much; but we look in vain for it as a noun, meaning a "tell-tale." Again, "blade" is given as the sharp part of a sword; but it seems to be unknown to the editor that "blade" means also a sharp fellow; that it was used in that sense by Fuller and Shakespeare, and is still used in that sense by ourselves. He gives "bilge," which he defines as "the breadth of a ship's bottom;" but, curiously enough, he has never heard of bilge-water, the form in which the word most usually occurs. With his method of pronunciation (which he informs us is represented phonetically) we cannot altogether agree: he is often ungrammatical, too. Whatever may be the case in Scotland and in America, the best society in England do not pronounce the last syllable in " abeyance' as if it were nor does any society pronounce" apology" as though it were spelled "a-pol-o-ji." In England we do not say "abiliti," "absurditi," and "agenci," when we are required to pronounce the words ability, absurdity, and agency. We may in conclusion, and without comment, mention that the editor pronounces "bull" "bool," and would have us believe that the last syllable of all words, such as brimful, ought to be pronounced fool. Mr. Donald seems to have given much conscientious labour to the work; and we are, therefore, sorry to have to find fault with his performance. But the Dictionary is announced with so loud a flourish of trumpets, that we could not say less than we have, although it is in our power to say much more.

Edited by DR. LONGMUIR. 8vo. (Nimmo.) 10s. 6d.-The publisher of this work has earned the thanks of all who feel interested in English and Scottish literature. Since the appearance of the first edition in 1808 it has been greatly improved. That edition occasioned so wide-spread an interest that, when a second was called for, in 1925, it was found that the additional words contributed by students of Scottish literature, added to those accumulated by the author himself, had amounted in bulk to two volumes of equal size with their predecessors. After Dr. Jamieson's death, an edition of the work was prepared by Mr. John Johnstone, who incorporated the words of the Supplement, with their most popular significations, into the original Dictionary; and, subsequently, an Abridgment" of the work, prepared by the same editor, was published at Edinburgh in 1846, in an octavo volume. It is this edition, reprinted in a similar form, but at a greatly reduced price, that is now before us. the editor, Dr. Longmuir, intended merely to put the At first, sheets correctly through the press; but, in the end, he and the publisher saw valid reason for changing the plans and, as a consequence, the Dictionary is now not only more typographically correct than before, but the editor has enriched the work with numerous additions, 106 various spellings, and sixty synonyms, besides He has supplied 120 new explanations; has added several etymologies; has introduced seventy pithy, idiomic, and illustrative expressions; and has supplied about 630 altogether new words to the stock. Such a work is, undoubtedly, of the highest value to philological students in every country. The scholar who confines bis attention to one branch of language will find his conclusions very defective. Comparative philology has become an indispensable study. We are desirous of learning the relation one language bears to another; their agreements and diversities nst be studied; and the source must be ascertained whence sprang all the members of the same family, before we can be said to be well acquainted with the history and capacities of any. The importance and value, therefore, to English scholars of a Scottish Dictionary, so full and complete as this, is manifest. And not only will the work be of ser vice to the philologist proper; it will also be a Welcome addition to the library of all ordinary men of letters, who will find the volume what it is (not very elegantly, however,) described to be by the editora reliable key to unlock the valuable stores of our Bettish literature, which are shut up in a language that is fast becoming unknown." The work is prefaced by a "Memoir of the Author," who died in 1838, and by the "Dissertation on the Origin of the Scottish Language," which appeared in the original edition. We have consulted it variously; and have not suc

THE BOOKSELLER, JAN. 31, 1867.

THE CLARENDON PRESS SCHOOL SERIES.

The delegates of the Oxford Press are doing good service to learning and literature. Convinced by the representation of competent persons that there is still great need of good school books and manuals, they have resolved to publish a series of educational works on the classics, mathematics, history, law, physical 'miscellaneous science, English language, and literature, and modern They also promise a languages. class," and a series of English classical authors. The first fruits of their scheme are now before us; and we must confess they are such as to make us anticipate with satisfaction the rich harvest that is to follow. It is, indeed, scarcely possible to speak in terms too high of the five volumes we have already received. The Chemistry for Students," by Professor WILLIAMSON, contains in a concise, but perfectly intelligible, form an outline of all that is necessary to be imparted to the student. The leading facts of the science, the principles of inorganic and organic chemistry, are treated by the Professor with such intelligent skill, and the order of his exposition is so logical, that it will secure for him the attention of a class of readers whom a less satisfactory method would fail to attract, and perhaps alienate from the study. Useful questions, for the purpose of giving students an opportunity of exercising themselves in using the elementary facts of the science, have been appended to the introductory chapter.

The notes are ja gical and historical character. diciously supplied; the glossary, however, whilst com. plete with respect to the number of words given, is rather defective in the meanings occasionally supplied. The Elements of Deductive Logic. Designed mainly for the use of junior students in the University. By THOMAS FOWLER, M.A.-The student who masters the contents of this little volume will obtain an elementary knowledge of the main problems, principles, and rules The author occasionally departs of deductive logic. from the ordinary forms adopted by logicians, but in a work of this sort he has good reason for such proceeding. He has designed his book merely as an introduction to more advanced text-books, and in that capacity it will be found useful.

Mr. BALFOUR STEWART'S Elementary Treatise on Heat, is conceived on the same plan. Intended, like the former work, for students of physical science, it is divided into three parts-The Study of the various effects produced by Heat; the Laws which regulate the Distribution of Heat through Space; and the Nature of Heat: its Sources and its connection with other Properties. The work will be of service to the general reader, as well as to him who is desirous of making the science a special study,

Of The Golden Treasury of Ancient Greek Poetry, edited by Mr. R. S. WRIGHT, it is sufficient to say that it is really a collection of the best passages of the Epic, Lyric, and Dramatic Poets of Greece. The classical student will, we are assured, discover no favourite conspicuous by its absence." The intropassage duction and notes are valuable, and contain the latest results of modern scholarship.

[ocr errors]

M. VEITCH'S learned contribution, Greek Verbs, Irregular and Defective; their Forms, Meaning, and Quantity, is, in its way, quite as valuable as any of the series. From its nature the work will, of course, be less popular; but we hope there is a sufficient number of Greek scholars, professional and amateur, to appreciate the careful research and labour of the

author.

The works are all well and carefully printed, and both teachers and learners owe a debt of gratitude to the delegates for their generosity in producing them.

Specimens of Early English; being a Series of Extracts from the most important English Authors, Chronologically arranged, illustrative of the progress of the English Language and its Dialectic varieties, from A.D. 1250 to A.D. 1400. With Grammatical Introduction, Notes, and Glossary. By R. MORRIS.Mr. Morris, who edits these "Specimens," has set before students in that work a systematic view of the older forms of the English language, and of their development, as exhibited in writers of the latter part of the 13th and the whole of the 14th century. The specimens form a connected and continuous whole; arranged in alphabetical order, and, for the most part, are altogether new. The editor furnishes a grammatical Introduction, Notes, and a Glossary, so that the reader will be able to obtain a clear view of the dialect, grammar, and vocabulary of the writers of the Early English period. When we found that the extracts were mostly now collected for the first time, our fear was, that Mr. Morris, for the purpose of avoiding the insertion of passages that have lost their freshness, might have omitted what are most characteristic, and best adapted for exhibiting the peculiarities of the language at its several stages. But an examination has altogether dissipated our fear. The specimens, as they are very correctly described by the editor, may be considered as types of the English spoken within a century and a half of a most important period in its history. The year 1250 has wisely been chosen as a starting point; the period about which the language having freed itself from grammatical inflections, and with a more simple syntactical structure, was entering that phase, "in which we may trace a gradual approximation to its modern representative, the English of the present day." The extracts, which vary in length from 200 to upwards of 1,200 lines, are well selected. The first is from "Genesis and Exodus," an early English song of 1250; the last is from Gower's "Confessio Amantis," first printed by Caxton in 1483. Among the intermediate extracts we have valuable passages from the most important works that appeared during the period, each specimen being preceded by a short account of the work from which it is taken, and a notice of the author when he is known. The editor furnishes a grammatical introduction, in which he very clearly describes the various early English dialects, points out the difference between the Northern and Southern dialects, gives the orthographical differences, and supplies an outline of early English grammar. This outline (based on the southern dialect) is, indeed, so complete, that it is quite suffi cient, with the specimens themselves, and the notes and glossary, to enable the student to read with intelligence any work produced during the period, and give him much desirable information on its ethnolo

SIR,-Knowing that you take a deep interest in a t

matters affecting "the trade," the committee of th
Bradford Booksellers' Association, take the liberty
forwarding you a short account of what we in Bradfor
are doing, to abolish the system of irregular and all

surdly heavy discounts.

Feeling strongly that it only required united ar friendly action to accomplish the object which one a all thought desirable, but many feared to be impr ticable, a meeting of the Booksellers and Newsagen was convened by circular in the month of Octo last, when, after some discussion, it was resolved establish an Association; and a committee was elect who were desired to draw up rules and bye-laws its governance. In November, a second meeting held, and after sundry alterations in detail, the ru and bye-laws drawn up by the committee (of whi we enclose a copy) were adopted.

19

On the first of the present month, this new ce came into operation, and we find that the trade h carried out the new terms with integrity, and th they have found a ready acceptance on the part of public.

h

You will find on scanning the terms that we not abolished all discount-our idea was to atter only so much as we thought practicable, and not aiming at too much to defeat our object.

Our Association now numbers more than 70 mi bers, and are in hopes of embracing within its lin all the Booksellers and Newsagents in the nei bouring towns and villages for twenty miles nort Bradford. We have also sent deputations to

[ocr errors]

neighbouring towns of Leeds, Halifax, and Huddersfield, to inform them of what we were doing, and to induce them to form similar associations. The deputations have met with some measure of success.

We make no comment on what has been done here, but simply state the above facts, assuring the trade in other towns that the remedy lies in their own hands, if they will only have faith in each other.

In conclusion, we would respectfully request the publishers to render the country booksellers what aid they can, by not furnishing books on lower terms than those adopted in Bradford, whose example will no doubt be followed by other towns, when they see the project can be worked successfully.

Any information will be gladly afforded by Mr. Lund, the President, or any of the Bradford Committee, which consists of the leading members of the trade. Signed on behalf of the Committee, GEORGE W. DALE,

PRINTERS' READERS.

Treasurer.

To the Editor of the BOOKSELLER. S-Your remarks on the recent advance in the Compositors' Scale of Charges are acknowledged, by all with whom I have conversed on the subject, to be very fair and impartial, but you-perhaps designedly—

tted all mention of the Reader's profession and 3 remuneration. I say, "profession," because, in a properly qualified reader, nearly as much book-learning is expected as commonly fits a man for the Church, the Law, or the Army. A printer's reader must certainly be an accurate English scholar, with a thagh knowledge of orthography, punctuation. and the grammatical construction of sentences. He ually a fair geographer, is seldom very deficient in Bdical lore and the "ologies;" and is sufficiently vali read in general literature to be able to detect, and mark, a quotation from the poets and the principal The writers, whenever it occurs in an author's MS. Et is also expected to be able, at least, to read and

ste from the Latin and the French; and he unfrequently has a smattering of Greek and Hebrew, and a slight acquaintance with German and

sh. The reader, too, must have a good technical owledge of printing, to enable him to mark all aoreet divisions of words, and inequalities in the Paces between the separate words of a line or nee: he must see to the regular order in the ng of a sheet, the uniform length of the pages, roper placing of the notes and their distinctive ence marks; besides a multitude of those small important details which belong to every welland volume.

[ocr errors]

Se, ordinary people would suppose that a man sessed of these qualifications, could command a table income, and be, himself, respected and ed by his employers. But what are the facts? generally self-taught-having risen, perhaps the compositor's "case "-two guineas a week is re than the reader's average rate of wages; many aster printers, indeed, considering thirty shillings e nearer the market value of his labour. Perhaps all be told that the law of supply and demand ates his income: but let that pass. Mr. Stuart and Professor Leoni Levi will hardly say that * sufficient.

stead of pursuing his onerous duties in a wellel and properly-ventilated apartment, free from e and all circumstances likely to distract his ton, he is usually boxed up in a little smoky, r-strewn, dusty, ill-smelling hole, partitioned off the composing-room or the warehouse, where foul expression and every discordant sound des him but too plainly,-without fire, venti

or sufficient daylight to enable him to work at gas for more than six or eight hours during rightest summer day. He is expected to correct, least query, every slip of grammar, spelling, et in the author's "copy," and yet he is unprowith a single dictionary or work of reference, than he gets at his own cost. The reading-boy is supposed to read aloud from the MS. or

printed copy while the reader examines and corrects the proof is generally a dirty, ill-behaved, ignorant lad, taken from the warehouse or the machine-room, and brought up into the "reading-closet" because he is fit for nothing else! This boy, perhaps, has received such teaching as he possesses in a charityschool, and reads newspaper extracts with a Bible twang; and so stumbles in his sentences and mispro nounces the words before him, that the reader is compelled, in order to get through his work in decent time, to read aloud from the printed proof, while the boy looks at the copy; of course the reader must, at the same time, mark every wrong letter left in type by the compositor. To this method of reading, and to the fact that readers generally have too much to do, if they do it well,-I attribute half the clerical errors that appear in print. Remember that every error in a printed book, magazine, or newspaper is laid to the reader's charge; and it is astonishing how easily unpractised eyes can detect a single mistake when it is too late to amend it! I need only refer to THE BOOKSELLER, itself, for confirmation, and ask you if there is a single number with the printing of which you are altogether and entirely satisfied?

I contend that. if a good compositor be worth two guineas a week,-and scores are worth much more a properly qualified reader is worth three. What, then, is the reason he is so poorly paid? I can find no better answer to the question than this-because he possesses the scholar's antipathy to change and discord, and because he belongs to a profession in which there is little unity of sentiment or common purpose, he takes no part in strikes or demonstrations, and prefers to rely, for eventual relief, upon the simple justice and integrity of his case, rather than create ill-feeling between his brethren and their employers. What master-printer ever heard of a reader refusing to work any number of hours that might be required of him, or asking for more than the stipulated rate of payment for so many hours' overtime? but what reader can remember an occasion when, if he came late to the office after working perhaps half the night before, his lost time was not deducted; or, when after he had done his best, he got any modicum of praise, with which to flavour his not over-rich pudding?

I address you, sir, because THE BOOKSELLER is read by both employers and employed in every department of literature, and because I believe that when the case of the readers is properly and temperately laid before the master-printers, they will not much longer be allowed to labour under the disabilities of which, they as a body, fairly complain.

The importance of the subject of my letter must be my apology for its length; and in the hope that you will give it insertion, I subscribe myself, Your obliged servant,

A READER.

NO, IT IS NOT ACCIDENTAL.

To the Editor of THE BOOKSeller. SIR,-Will you allow me through the medium of your colums, as one of the retail trade, to thank Messrs. S. and T. Gilbert, for bringing under notice the practice of wholesale houses selling indiscrimi nately over their own counters at wholesale prices.

A case came under my notice only this week; while endeavouring to sell a book to a customer published by a well-known wholesale firm, the answer I received was, "No, I shall wait till I go to London, when I can get it at the Publishers at wholesale price."

Surely this state of things ought not to exist, and most certainly does not without the knowledge of the principal, and the sooner it is put a stop to the better, or it will most assuredly, sooner or later; entail ruin upon the whole of the retail trade.

By doing me the favour of inserting this in the next number of your valuable journal, you will greatly oblige.
