Trade Lists and Samples

Mr W. Wildman, bookseller, Auckland, sends us a long list of New Zealand publications kept in stock, of several of which he possesses the sole remaining copies. Mr Wildman makes a specialty of the literature of the colony.

Messrs John Dickinson & Co., limited, send us a sample of their double demy 681b « Art Paper. » It is not more expensive, weight for weight, than ordinary good quality printing paper, and the surface is such as to produce the finest possible effect in printing. It is largely used for the finer class of type specimens.

Carl Schlenk, Roth, near Nuremberg (London, 14 Aldersgate-st.), sends us a beautifully-printed circular in bronze, with a litho view of his new factory. His new machines enable him to produce over 10,0001b weekly, and he claims to be the largest manufacturer in the trade.

Messrs John Haddon & Co., the English agents, send us a copy of Grip, a Canadian weekly illustrated comic paper, the title of which is derived from the raven in Barnaby Rudge. Grip is in its seventeenth year, and is vigorously written and cleverly illustrated. Most of the sketches are signed with the initials of the editor, Mr J. W. Bengough.
