We have received the fourth and concluding volume of Auction

Prices of Books, Edited by Luther S. Livingston (Elliot Stock, by subscription, .f.,8 8s.), containing the prices given in English and American auction-rooms for books during the period 1886 (in the States 1894) to 1904 (with sundry supplementary items). "frank Walton" is the most notable item in this instalment. The name covers thirteen columns, of which by far the larger part concern the "Complete Angler." It is curious that the

"Lives" are comparatively neglected. The "Complete Angler" fetched in one instance (the first five editions bound together) £800, but no volume of the "Lives" exceeded .227.
