The article presents information on publication of various books. "The Lady of the Aroostook," by W.D. Howells. Sometimes readers will go through a book without finding anything rare or extraordinary. Unusual interest attaches to the September number of the "Magazine of American History." They are reminded that the Dictionary is to contain all words, ordinary and extraordinary, and that a quotation in each century is wanted for every sense or construction of every word. Each reader is therefore requested to give quotations for common words in their common senses, whenever good, apt, pithy, short sentences containing them occur.
