Why do publishers tend to "n" in their names'? Some of the chief London publishers run to a final "n" Macmillan, Longman, Chapman; Hodder & Stoughton; Hutchinson & Co.; Sampson Low, Marston & Co.; Lawrence & Bullen; Fisher Unwin; Heinemann. The last, indeed, is nothing but "n" sounds; such a name could not escape taking to publishing.
The word 'yellow-back' witnesses its close association with fiction; and in France, as we know, it is the all but universal custom to bind books in yellow paper. Mr. Heinemann and Mr. Unwin have endeavoured to naturalise the custom here; but, though in cloth yellow has emphatically 'caught on, in paper it still hangs fire.
The standard life of De Quincey; it contains valuable communications from De Quincey's daughters, J. Hogg, Rev. A. H. JAPP. De Quincey Memorials. Being Letters and Other Records, here first published. With Communications from Coleridge, the Wordsworths, Hannah More, Professor Wilson, and others. 2 vols. London: W. Heinemann, 1891. E. T. MASON.

Heinemann. 3s. 6d. net. This, which is one of the greatest novels ever written, depicts, at once relentlessly and with infinite tenderness, the spiritual conflict which has agitated Russian society for at least fifty years past. JOSEPH CONRAD. Under Western Eyes. 6s. A powerful study of modern revolutionary types. Conrad, of course, is not a Russian novelist, but he is of Polish origin.
He is perhaps the historical Margrave Gere of East Saxony, whom Otto the Great appointed as a leader against the Slavs. See O. von Heinemann, "Markgraf Gero", Braunschweig, 1860, and Piper, L 43. "Eckewart" is also a late accession. He is perhaps the historical margrave of Meissen , the first of the name. He, too, won fame in battle against the Slavs.
The best translations are those of Mrs. Garnett. The following are recommended to those who are beginning the study of Russian literature and who are desirous of reading novels which throw light on the springs of Russian life and thought: TOURGENIEV. Fathers and Children. Heinemann. 2s. net. A study of Russian Nihilism in the 'eighties, which may be read and compared with Kropotkin's Memoirs.
Heinemann, 7s. 6d. The Story of Creation, Clodd. Longmans, 3s. 6d. Buddha and Buddhism, Lillie. Clark, 3s. 6d. Shall We Understand the Bible? Williams. Black, 1s. What is Religion? Tolstoy. Free Age Press, 6d. What I Believe, Tolstoy. Free Age Press, 6d. The Life of Christ, Renan. Scott, 1s. 6d. I also recommend Herbert Spencer's Principles of Sociology and Lecky's History of European Morals.
My acquaintance with Stephen Crane was brought about by Mr. Pawling, partner in the publishing firm of Mr. William Heinemann. One day Mr. Pawling said to me: "Stephen Crane has arrived in England. I asked him if there was anybody he wanted to meet and he mentioned two names. One of them was yours." I had then just been reading, like the rest of the world, Crane's Red Badge of Courage.
TOLSTOI. War and Peace. Heinemann. 3s. 6d. net. Anna Karenin. Heinemann. 3s. 6d. net. The first of these is perhaps the finest treatment of war in modern literature, the subject being the Russian campaign of Napoleon in 1812. No other book gives one a better idea of the way the Russians make war and of the essential greatness of the Russian national spirit. DOSTOIEFFSKY. The Brothers Karamazov.
