This article focuses on the forthcoming publications. Harper & Brothers have published a book of vocal music tinder the title of "The Franklin Square Song Collection." It contains two hundred pieces and costs forty cents, or five songs for a cent. This is certainly cheap enough, and would be considered so even in Germany, the land of cheap music. Some of the songs included in the collection are also cheap in an esthetic sense; but this could hardy be avoided in a book which was intended to be popular. Henry Holt & Co.'s "Our Familiar Songs" is a similar collection of over three hundred songs of the English-speaking race only, arranged with pianoforte accompaniments and preceded by sketches of the writers and histories of the songs.
