LITERATURE. a jiun Tiinovmi oim piuiiADel. FHH BOOK STORES. As every one gives or expects a gift of mdm kind when the Christmas season cornea round, the Ingenuity of every donor Is taxed to the utmost to determine what will be most acceptable to the donee. As a general rule, niter consderlng pro and con all the articles which suggest themselves, tlie selector of a present foils behind the bulwarks of assumed literary taste, and avoids committing himself Idj sending a book. Now In this selection Ihere is a sound stroke of policy. In the first place, almost every one welcomes a good jfeook as a most acceptable addition, and really la more pleased with it than he would have teen with any of the other articles exposed lor sale; and, in the second place, however much dissatisfied he may be, a sense of his own reputation as a litterateur prevents him exposing, even to his nearest friend, a disap pointment. A consideration of these two advantages may account for the universal demand for books as presents. But whatever the cause, the fact remains, that an immense number of our citizens give and receive books during the holiday season. When the donor decides to give a book, it must not be thought that his difficulties are all over ; they have but begun. We will not venture to express an opinion as to the number of volumes presented for his choice "Of the making of books there is no end." Fiction for the young, poetry lor the romantic, fcistory and philosophy for the grave, classics for the student, and so on through Ihe thousand miner departments of the litera ture of our country a world in itself with principalities and powers as distinct and as potent as tho?e of the outer physics universe. Now, in order to save our leaders the trouble of a making a tour of all the various book stores with which our city abounds, and seeking among all the various publishers what can only be secured from one of them, we have gone over the goods for the public, and will give, In a running arti cle, our experience of where the particular wants of the searchers for presents can best be supplied. The field is a wide one. The stores abound with every variely of litera ture, from "Macaulay" to '-Mother Goose ;" and side by side will be iound ' Plutarch" and the "Learned Fig."' Out of this motley throng the reader must cull the one which pleases him best ; and that all tastes can be satisfied we feel assured, from the quantity and Tariety of the literature exposed for sale. . The grand empoiium for all foreign works, whether they be issued in our sister cities or imported from abroad, is the establishment of J. B. Lippincolt & Co., Nos. 715 and 717 Market street. By years of careful enter prise, they have won for themselves a reputa tion as publishers only of Btaadrd works of real merit, 90 that to-day for a book to bear the imprint of this house is a sufficient guar antee that it will repay perusal. Tuey have thousands of works, every one of which would make a most acceptable present. The edition of "Waverly Novels," as issued by them, is noted for the extreme beauty of its typography and the unique and chaste bind ing. But it would be useless to enumerate all of the long line3 of shelves, which we can only count by the squares of books. Every variety is found within this colossal esta blishment. ' The special work issued by this house in commemoration of this season is " Touches of Nature" one hundred drawings executed by our most accomplished artists, and en. graved in a manner which would do credit to any publisher in the world. They are of all devices, and were executed under the especial supervision of the Dalziel Brothers of London. To this vrey valuuble work is added selec tions from our best authors . The whole is set in golden borders, in the highest style ol art. No house can surpass Lippincott's in these testimonials to the season. We recom mend to all who desire to make a selection a visit to the marble palace on Market street. The firm of T. B . Peterson & Brothers, No. 200 Chesnut street, for many years have been issuing from tmi to time, and frequently asottenas once a week, some new work from their ever-teemiug presses . The consequence is that the3 have u vast supply of works ot their own. Early ia the fame of tU immor tal Dickens, they selected hU works as a specialty, and commenced their publication in various unifoim editions, suited for the length ol every purse . They have now no less than twenty editions of the grt'at novel ist, comprising all the plain and substan tial bindings in cloth to the rich antique halt calf, with lull gilt edges an! bac ks. We caa imagine no more appropriate ar.d welcome gift than a full set cf these works. While, however, the works ol Dickens are the specialty, of tie Petersons, jet the other authors are not neglected. Lever, Col lins, Marryalt. Dumas, Mrs. Henry Wood, Scott, Lippaid Mrs. .Stt phens, Mrs. South worth, Caroline Lee Jfcntz, ia fact, all our native authors, are found upou their shelves. They also have a choice selection of children's books, illustrated and printed in a style which must delight the young ; while a we'l-choaea collection of all the works of the other pub lishers in our land, make this emporium one in which almost cvory want can be supplied. Dufileld Ashmead, No. 724 Chesnut street, has a large collection of children's illustrated books, published by himself. Among tnem we lecognize the inimitable story by Bulwer, of " Reynard the Fox," with Illustrations of tho utmost beauty and taste. A number of works ot a similar kind, which have been published la tho city, are also spread out, to suit Uw . taste of. any one who ia seeking to Kltct a Miltablo gift for a child. But not orly for the little ones dons Mr. Ashmead THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1860. , keep a supply of literature. All of the old of mankind are also cared for, and Albums, Bibles, and Prayer Boeks, with every kind of literary wealth, abound on every hand. This handsome store is well worth a visit; but we need barely refer to It, for all our readers know it already. A large collection of picture frames, , in addition to a number of superior pictures and a general assortment ot books, are to be iound at G. W. Pitcher's, No. 808 Chesnut street. All of our readers who desire pictures or frames, neat yet cheap, will do well to call and examine the numberless designs which line the walls of his store. The crowds which frequent it hourly attest Its popularity. James S. Claxton, at his new store, No. 1214 Chestnut street, has published a number of juvenile works, which commend them selves to all who wish to make gifts to the little ones. lie also has a choice supply of rrayer Books, Bibles, and Testaments, and a very able work on tho "Church and the World," which we can speak most highly of for ability and sound reasoning . Uis store, located on our principal thoroughfare, is well worth a visit, for there are few tastes which cannot be .satisfied from among the ample supply of works which fill his shelves. At No.'1 61$ 'Arch street, J. A. Bancroft & Co. have a number of admirably selected works, not only from abroad, but also several choice publications of their own. The "Spirit of Praise" is a choice religious work of great merit, while the "Gem of the Poets" will make to all lovers of selected poetry a most welcome present. Tho same house also announces "Songs of Praise," a work replete with harmony and high Christian aspirations. A fine assortment of juveniles, and a number of standard educational works, are also on hand. The religious community will find an excellent collection of gift books upon their shelves, as well as all who desire standard school books lor instruction. Davis, Porter & Co., No. 27 South Sixth street, have an excellent supply of all works which the holidays usually call for. They have made a specialty of Dore's "Don Quixote," a work ever acceptable, and of which no respectable edition has of lata years been issued. Aa Illustrated by Gustave Dote, and handsomely printed, the work is of the utmost value, and will, we hope, create once more a taste for the writings of Cervantes, which is so natural to all who have read his works. Histories, stories, novels, adventures , albums, and children's books fill their store, and the purchaser will find all his wants sup plied within their establishment. J. K. Simons, No. S3 S. Sixth street, is the agent of the great house of Applcton in our city. Upon his shelves will be found that most valuable of any modern work, the "American Encyclopaedia" that epi tome of ell knowledge well digested and carefully arranged a work needed in every library, shop, office-every place where a well-read man is wont to frequent. It is of daily service, and cannot be excelled for value, and is a sensible, useful, and elegant gift for the holiday season. In addition to this work, all the other publications of Apple ton are on hand, and can be secured at the prices for which they are sold by the house itself. T. Elwood Zell, No. 23 South Sixth street, hps issued, within a short time, Mackenzie's "10,000 Receipts," which for general know ledgesuch as is daily needed in every depart ment of business, Is ol great value. He has also on hand a valuable supply of school books and standard works of all kinds. A number of well-selected children's and holi day books grace his shelves, and, together with his own publications and those his dis crimination points out from others, he has a variety at once choice and acceptable. J. W. Daughaday & Co., No. 1308 Chesnut etreet, send us the January number of their excellent little work, "The School Day Visi tor." It is filled with pleasant, rational reading, and, without filling the child's mind with worthless tacts, or wearying it with pedantic essays, it is calculated to instruct and atpuse. The same house has a valuable supply ot1 all Hie books of the season. Til 10 NEW YORK ASD BOSTOS Pl'll MMIIRHS. Every book-fancier knows so well where to find the Appletons, that it seems useless to give their place of business, which is at Nos. 443 and 14o Broadway. Tae multiplicity of superb gifl-books which they oiler, it is really dinic.ilt to individualize. Of their foreign importations the most prominent is that sumptuous volume, "The Lite of -Man Sym bolized by the Months of the Year," which is, perhaps, nvrc elaborately and carefully finished in all its details than any work pro duced tho prestnt season. Then, too, there are to be found at this establishment four ele gant quarto volumes containing numerous fine, full-page 6teel engravings, alter paintings selected respectively from tho galleries of Vienna. Munich, Dresden and Berlin; also, "Half Hours with the Best French Authors," a royal octavo volume, which presents trans lations frcui tome ol the most celebrated wri. ters of that nationality, and is illustrated with thirty larpe full-page engravings, Irom designs by Emile Bayard. The public have been In debted to the Messrs. Apple ton during the past veor tortlie reissue here ol tho handsome Eng lish editions of several important works upon natural hi 'lory, luciudin?, lor Instance, Ber tram's "linnet ot the Sea," Hartwig'a "Har monics of Nature,", etc. etc. Geology and botany . iire represented respectively by Eigulcl's ; World . Before the Deluge," and tho "Vegetable 'World," the last of which works lias just been brought out here, All of Dore's works the Bible, Dante, "Don Quixote, and Milton's "Paradise Lost," every oreign publication, In uliort, which is worth having may b found on the shelves or tables of this extensive establishment. No st ictly American works have been brought out this year by the Messrs. Applcton, but thre are several new editions of their former publi cations which deserve prominent mention. The "New American Cyclopaedia" Is one of the most valuable and useful gifts wblcb can be mado to any one who has a library, and the "Annual Cjcloptedia" should be named In connection with It. The new edition of Dana's "Household Book of Poetry," with the additions from recent authors, easily holds its place aa the moat complete co lection of the kind extant, and as a companion volume to it we have a new edition of "Christian Ballads," by Bishop Coxe. Charles and Mary Cowden Clarke's "Shakespeare" still holds its acknowledged position as one of the very best editions of the works ot the great bard. That solace for hen-pecked husbands, "Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures," of which a very handsome edition has just been issued, and a delightful book for the juvenilis, "Alice's Adventures ,in Wonder-Land," illustrated by Tenniel, should not be overlooked amid the more ambitious volumes of which the few we have named are but representatives. The presses of Harper & Brothers (Frank lin Square) have been at work as busily as ever during the year, and every one should possess hlmselfof a catalogue of their publi cations before commencing his purchases. Among their standard publication may be named Motley's "Dutch Republic and United Netherlands ;" the works of George William Curtis; and among books of travel, Doo little's "China," Hall's "Arctic Researches," a new and elegant edition of which has just been published; Livingstone's "Zambesi;" Thompson's "Land and the Book;" Vam berj's "Central Asia," etc. Napoleon's "Life of Caesar" should not be forgotten, and the "Pictorial History of the Rebellion," com piled by Dr. Guernsey and Mr. Alden, which is trulj valuable as a careful, accurate, suc cinct, and impartial record of the events of the war, would prove an acceptable gift to many. No more instructive or entertaining work can be put into the hands of the young than Wood's "Homes Without Hands," and the temporary happiness ot every child who may receive Laboulaye's delightful "Fairy Book" will be assured. Among tbe standard publications, again, are "Poeta of the Nine teenth Century" and "Goldsmith's Poetical Works." Coleridge, too, will be lound to contain as much learning and wisdom as ever ; and the admirers of Carlyle will un doubtedly gladly receive as a gift bis "His tory of Frederick the Great." Whoever wishes to live in the memory of a friend until another holiday season comes, need only pre sent h,im with a year's subscription to thosa unfailing sources of entertainment and in struction, liarper'a Monthly and Uarper'a Weekly. Messrs. Scribner & Co. have imported a large supply of Dore's "Milton," which will undoubtedly be received as one of the most acceptable of the productions of this remark able artist, by many who desire to include in their collections at least one of the works illustrated by his pencil. Tbe same firm also has all of Dore's works, and it was hoped that Tennyson's "Elaine," with his illustrations, would be received in time for the holidays, but it has not yet come to hand. Prominent among the other foreign publications to be found here is a superb edition of "Bishop Heber's Hymns." Another elegant volume is "Gems from the Poets," a quarto, which is embellished with thirty plates, printed in colors. rIhe only strictly American gift-book produced the present year by this firm is that unique and elegant folio, "Floral Belles," by Mrs . Badger. An edition of Burns ' Cutter's Saturday Night," illustrated by Chapman; a new edition of "Folk Songs," containing 250 additional pages; and a new illustrated edition of "Bitter Sweet," with a portrait of Dr. Holland, are among tho holiday publica tions of Scribner & Co. Among their standard works, Froude's ' England" and Lange's ' Commentary" should not ba over looked. Although Messrs. Ticknor & Fields may make their books in Boston, they find New York the best place to sill them, and their establishment at No. 03 Bleecker street, into which they were compelled to move last May from their more contracted quarters on Broadway, has become the favorite resort ol the lovers of elegant literature ; aud certainly the list ot writers, native and foreign, who have chosen this house as their medium for communicating with the public, form as bril liant a catalogue as is anywhere to be found. Longfellow, Whlttier, Hawthorne, Emerson, Lowell, Holmes, Tennyson, Do Quineey, aud Browning are a few of the more prominent whose works catch the eye !u a glance around tho well-arranged shelves. Tho chief aim of Messrs. Tlcknor & Fields is to make this store the depot of handsome editions of their publications, and the enterprise which they have exhibited in producing those exquisite illustrated editions of Whittiei's ''Maud Mul ler," Longfellow's "Evangeline" and "Fl jsver de Luce." and Lowell's ".sir Launfal," deserves tlie most geuerous encouragement. A new and haudsoiuo uniform edition of Longfel low's works has lately Ixen iasuad by Messrs. TIcknor & Field3, and they also make a specialty of Tennyson's poems in separate volumes and in ail (styles of binding, as well as in uniform editions. Although they have nothing but their own publications on sale, a list of holiday gifts could bo made up from these alone which could not fail ;o please tin niofct fastidious, ' The rRiversldo Editions" of the standard authors, both American and foreign, havo pained a deserved reputation for their accu rate typography and general elegance, and all book purchasers hardly need to be re minded that they are Issued by Messrs Hurd & Houghton, No. 459 Bnnrm etreet The firm hiw, for the last year or two. devoted itself exclusively to the wholes le tra le ; but their pjblicatlons can, of course, bo procured of any bookseller. "Miciulay's Essays," bear ing tbelr imprint, long ago found it way to the libraries of nearly all admirers of this great niastr, and a few months since Messrs. Hurd & Houghton brought out au edition of the "nistory of England," in six volumes. In a few weeks Macaulay's poems will com plete this uniform series, wuich must super sede all others. It Is useless to enumerate the standard works produced by this well known house, which have been longer before the public, i First among their n iscellaneous works, especially adapted to the season, ia "Watts' Divine and Moral Songs for Children." "Dickens' Christmas Books," is a handsome volume in itself, and its attrac tiveness Is enhanced by Darley's illustrations. Among the works produced this tail by Messrs. Hurd & noughton are Miss Alice Cary'a "Ballads, Lyrics, and Hymns; Christ mas in England," comprising selections from Irvlng's "Sketch-Book,"very handsomely illus trated, and a series of very tasteful volumes in crown octavo, under the general designa tion of " Ihe Riverside Classics," but three of which are published as yet : ' Plcciola," illus trated by Fleming; "Lalla Rookh," illustrated by Tenniel; and Milton's "Paradise Lost." These are printed In very clear type, and are ornamented with head and tail pieces spe cially engraved for them. Messrs. Hurd & Houghton's catalogue comprises a number of Juvenile publications the most attractive of which are those illustrated by Stephens. Mr. George P. Putnam has opened an establishment at No. 631 Broadway, opposite Bond street. He wld there resume, after January 1, the publication of the works of Irving and Bayard Taylor. Besides many standard publications, such as Milmaa's "Latin Christianity," Hallam's works, and Macaulay's '"Essays" and "His tories," the list of Messrs. Sheldon & Co., Nos. 498 and 500 Broadway, includes some of the most widely popular works ever issued in this country. There are, for instance, Spur geon's sermons, and miscellaneous produc tions, over 800,000 copies of which have actually been sold ; Marion Harland's novels, "Alone," Sunnybank," etc. etc. It is not generally remembered that Messrs. Sheldon & Co. were the publishers of Edward Everett's "Life ot Washington." Their stock ia particularly rich in juvenile publications, of which "Rollo's Tour in Europe" and Abbott's "American History" retain all their old popularity, and it is hardly an exaggera tion to say that they sell m'nor juvenile books by the cord. The establishment of W. J. Widdleton, No. 17 Mercer street, near Howard, Is rather out of the current of Broadway trade; but a choice variety of standard and belles-lettres books may be found there tor instance, Hal lam's complete works; "Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy," which is unsurpassed for beauty of mechanical execution, and the works of Edgar A. Poe. Mr. Widdleton has also lately published the revised edition of "Milman's History of Christianity." Messrs. Leypoldt & Holt, No. 431 Broome street, have produced nothing with special reference to the holiday trade, but they are the agents for the very convenient Tauch niU editions, which enjoy a world wide popularity, and include the works of nearly all the standard writers Macaulay,Dickens,Thacke ray, Miss Bronte, etc. etc. Religious books are the specialty of Mr. M. W. Dodd, No. 506 Broad way, an it should not be forgotten that he is the American pub lisher of tho very popular works by the author ot 'Chronicles of the Schonberg-Cotta Family" (Mrs. Charles). Her last work, " The Dray tons and the Davenants," is one of the best of her productions. The list of Mr. James Miller, No. 522 Broadway, comprises a number of works well adapted for holiday gifts, and among them are several which parents may . put in the bunds of their children with the assurance that the heart of the juveniles will be gladdened; First of all should be named 'Teems of Childhood," by Elizabeth Barrett Rrowning. This is beautifully illustrated by Hennessy & 1 hwaites, and is iu every respect handsomely produced. Another of Mr. Mil lei's publications Is "What the Moon Saw, and Other Tales," by Hans C. Anderson. His other juvenile publications are generally above the average of productions ol this class. Mr. G. W. Carletou has lately removed from his old stand to No. 490 Broadway. His miscellaneous publications are so numerous that it is impossible to keep track of them. "St. Elmo," Miss Evans' novel, is the latent of his publications, and the demand for it is said to be very large. "Our Arti3t in Peru," and a handsomely illustrated edition of "Cul prit Fay," are tie only gbt-books which Mr. Carleton oilers ; but they are very attractive, and that firs; named is exceedingly amusing. Ilcadley's "Lives of Our Gieat Generals,' for the young, with his biographies of other noted characters, can be procure! .at W. II. Appleton's, Nos. 02 and 01 Grand street. The same publisher also reproduces a work which was formerly a great favorite, Mrs. Jameson's "Characteristics of Woaien." 'Ihe specialty of Messrs. Fowler & Wells, No. 389 Broadway, la well understoood ; but this firm publishes some works upon other subjects than phrenology, which will be found desirable lor gilts. Messrs. D'ck & Fitzgerald, No. 18 Ann street, publhh a large variety of works in structing old and young how to amuse them selves rationally during these winter evenings, . Tho well-known puWhber of military voika, Mr. D. Van Nostrand, No. JO- Broadway, since the close of the war Las beaten bis ploughshares into pruning-hooks, and offers a large variety of elegant gift-booka, as well as that omnium gatherum of war andliteia ture, the "Rebellion Itecml." By way of supplementing a gift of books to the young folks, nothing could be more appropriate for the family circle than the very novel and ingenious game of "Martelle," just issued by Richardson & Co., No. 540 Broadway. It unites some ot the leading and most attractive characteristics of bil liards, ten-pin;, and croquet, and is produced In such handsome form, with its combinations of green cloth, black walnut, ebony mallets, and balls of ivory, that it will be an ornament in any room, while it it not at all cumber some. The American News Company, No. 121 Nassau street, have published several notable books during the year, among them Mr. Richard Grant White's "Foetry of the War." They have imported and have for sale a very tasteful edition ot the "British Poets" in twelve volumes, but their specialty is the fur nlshingjany pamphlet, newspaper, periodical, or book that may be ordered through their connections, which extend to all parts of the country. "The Magic Fan" Is a very enter taining story which they have just produced. WATCHES, JEWELRY ETC nillOTAS, HOLIDAY AM) BRIDAL GIFTS ESTABLISHED IN 1812.
