A New Venture

The following extract from the U. of M. Daily of last Friday will be of interest to our readers. Tuk Reuisteií Publishing Company is starting out in a way that insures success. For its efl'orts to build up a publishing business in this City, an enterprise that has long been ne ded here, it deserves, and no doubt will receive, the hearty support of our citizens: No provisión has ever been made in the University of Michigan, as in several leading Universities in this country, for a department of publication. In times past several enterprising publishers ol Ann Arbor, recognizing the need of such a department, have madeunsuccessful atteinpts to establish a publishi':g house which would be to Ann Arbor what the Clarendon Press is to Oxford or the Riverside Press to Harvard. The attempts have in each case failed for want of proper support from the professors of the Universitv, who were, from time to time, having books published. Within the past year, however, a similar enterprise bas been fetarted here which gives indication of success. This time it is the Register Publishing Company which has undertaken the project. The press will be known as "The Inland Press," a happy and 6uggestive name. Although the enterprise was only started this year, it has already published several works and bas in press two others. Thus far the following books have been issned: "Outlines of a Critical Theory of Ethics," by John Dewey. "The Principies of Style: Topics and References, with a Prefatory Essay," by F. N. Scott. "Aesthetics: lts Problems and Literature," by F. N. Scott, "Paragraph-Writing: With Appendices on Newspaper 'Style' and Proof-Reading," by F. N. Scott. " One Hundred Suggestions to Shorthand Students," by S. A. Moran. There are in press two ematical works, which will be published in a few month. They are. "The Mathematica lTheoriesofPlanetary Motions," by Dr. Dziobek, of Germany, This edition is a translation by M.W. Harrington. The other work is a translation of Dr. Netto's, "The Theory of Substitutions and its Applications to Algebra," by F. N. Cole. In addition there are in prëparation " A General Chemistry," by Paul C. Freer; "Fundamental Principies of Musical Science," by A. A. Stanley ; a " System of Harmony " and " Book of Music," by the same author ; the " Planisphere," by M. W. Harrington; " Logarithmic Tables," by W. J. Hussey, and " Practical Astronomy ," by W. W. Campbell. The books thus far published reflect credit upon the new enterpriee.
