ANALYSIS OF BOOKS PUBLISHED IN 1913 THE number of books recorded as having been published during 1913 is 12,379, an increase of 312 on the total for 1912. The monthly figures given in the second part of the appended analytical table show that the rate of production during the year has been fairly steady from month to month, with the exception of the comparatively empty months of August and December. October, as usual, holds first place with the total of 1,696, although this figure falls short by 44 of the record total noted last year. January has also come into the forefront as a busy month. For the past three years this statistical table has been constructed on the lines of the classification scheme laid down by the International Congress of Librarians at Brussels in 1910, so that a comparison of the numbers of books published in each class of literature this year and last year is possible. The principal increases this year as compared with 1912 are to be found in the following classes :-Religion, 91; Sociology, 216; Law, 15; Technology, 113; Medicine, etc., 38; Agriculture, etc., 61; Business, 32; Games, etc., 22; Fiction, 40; History, 32; and Travel and Geography, 144. The principal decreases are Science, 95; Domestic Arts, 54; and Juvenile, 137- It should also be noted that while the total number of publications has increased by 312, the number of new editions has decreased by 32. It should be noted that in the above classes "Education" includes only books about educational theory and practice, and not text books on special subjects, which are classed elsewhere; and also that under "Music " only works about music are recorded. Large though the yearly total now is, it would be possible to swell it to a much greater figure by counting numerous leaflets (Government and other), ephemeral pamphlets, the publications of Borough Councils and other local government bodies, and musical texts. The latter alone would account for some thousands. As examples of the manner in which the publishing activity of a country may be entirely misrepresented by the counting of all sorts of ephemeræ, it may be mentioned that the yearly totals for Japan and Russia for 1908 are given as 36,046 and 23,852 respectively. While it is thus obvious that our total could be increased greatly by the inclusion of all this literary protozoa, the figures would not represent so accurately the book publishing activity of the United Kingdom. The totals for the last ten years show the striking development of British publishing : In the following tables each book is counted as one, whether it is in one or more volumes. Serials that appear later as a collected volume are counted as an ordinary book on the appearance of that volume; so that, for example, the series of " Statutory Rules and Orders" issued by the Government, and amounting to several hundred in the year, are counted as one item on the appearance of the annual collected volume. The same rule applies to volumes of magazines, etc. The analytical tables appended supply further detailed information regarding the year's publishing. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May June July Aug. Sep.
