Book Prices - Current, 1890. Vol. IV. (Elliot Stock.)—The editor of this

useful and interesting publication, which now appears for the fourth time, tells us that the year 1890 produced nothing very remarkable in the way of sales. No phenomenal prices, such as have been noted in former years, were given ; indeed, there was nothing to fetch them. Yet the aggregate of the sums realised may be put at more than a hundred thousand pounds.
