The object of Notes on Books-issued quarterly, at the end of February, May, August, and November-is to enable purchasers readily to obtain such general information regarding the various Works published by Messrs. LONGMAN and Co., as is usually afforded by tables of contents and explanatory prefaces, or may be acquired by an inspection of the books themselves. With this view, each article is confined to a brief ANALYSIS OF THE CONTENTS of the work referred to. Opinions of the press and laudatory notices are not inserted.

THE great preponderance of the issues of the last fortnight consists of reprints and narratives, assuredly a healthy sign of publishing success, besides which announcements of forthcoming works are numerous and promising.

Of the immediately new works published since the 1st inst., the following summary includes the more noteworthy :

[graphic]

A Third of Trollope's Dr. Thorne., A Fourth of Arnold's First Latin Book; Sharp's Greek New Testament, translated from Griesbach; Cobbin's Scripture Explained; and of Thankfulness, a Narrative by the Rev. Charles B. Tayler. A Seventh of Slade's Prayers from the Psalms; and of Exton's Speculum Gregis, or Minister's Assistant. A Ninth of Burwell's Little Lessons; and a Thirtieth or Fortieth of Miss Charlesworth's Ministering Children. Also a One Shilling Edition of Dr. Guthrie's City, its Sins and Sorrows.

Messrs. Longman and Co. contribute another People's Edition towards supplying the popular demand for standard works; they announce for immediate publication the whole of the poetical works of Thomas Moore, in Ten One-Shilling Monthly Parts, square crown 8vo. size, uniform with their People's Editions of Macaulay's Essays, and Sydney Smith's Works; the First Part will contain the whole of Lalla Rookh, and a steel Portrait of the Author, for One Shilling! Messrs. Chambers announce a new Encyclopædia; A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People, on the basis of the latest edition of the German Conversations Lexicon. The pub lication is first to appear in weekly numbers at 1d., and is expected to form about 7 vols., similar to the Information for the People. The publishers state that the work has heen in careful preparation for many years, that it will be abundantly illustrated with Maps and Engravings, be the cheapest and one of the most comprehensive Encyclopædias ever published, and is for the meantime intended as the crowning contribution of the Editors to cheap literature.

Messrs. Bradbury and Evans announce an important series of works to which they adapt their beautiful "Nature Printing" process; the prospectus includes the promise of four volumes on British Sea-weeds, by W. G. Johnstone, with 220 nature-printed illustrations; of two volumes on British Ferns, by Thomas Moore, F.L.S., reprinting the letter-press of the well-known folio work (some time out of print), with 110 new illustrations; and of one volume on British Mosses, by Dr. Lawson, with 30 illustrations, to be followed by other works uniformly printed in large 8vo.; some six volumes altogether may be expected during the present year.

Mr. Lovell Reeve has just disposed of his series of valuable popular Natural Histories to Messrs. Routledge and Co., who will in future publish them at 5s. plain, and 7s. 6d. coloured, instead of 10s. 6d. as heretofore. The series numbers 24 volumes.

The same publisher announces as many as eight new undertakings in the same branch of literature for which he has been so long eminent, including A Survey of the Early Geography of Western Europe as connected with the First Inhabitants of Britain, their Origin, Language, and Religious Rights and Edifices, by Mr. Henry James Long; a Flora of the West Indies, by Dr. Griesbach; Stereoscopic Views in Foreign Lands, with descriptive letterpress; Studies in the Archæology of the Northern Nations, edited by Dr. Latham, &c.

Mr. John Russell Smith announces The Life and Times of Daniel De Foe, with Remarks, digressive and discursive, by William Chadwick; he has completed his edition of Chapman's Homer, edited by the Rev. Richard Hooper; and has lately issued a new edition of Nares' Glossary.

Messrs. Chapman and Hall announce a new work by Mr. G. A. Sala, entitled Gaslight and Daylight, with some London Scenes they shine upon. Of this author the Illustrated Times says, "he has already an immensity of current work, and starts in July on a trip to the Southern States of America, to pick up material for future use."

Mr. Charles Dickens will commence a new periodical on the 1st of May, under the title of All round the Year, and on the last of May terminate the existence of our old friend Household Words. The new work, like its predecessor, adopts its motto from Shakspeare, and will bear the following, "The story of my life from year to year" (Othello), and will commence with a new tale by the editor.

Mr. Kinglake, M.P., the well-known author of Eothen, is, according to the Manchester Guardian, deeply engaged upon his History of the War in the Crimea.

Professor Nichol writes to the Northern Daily Mail contradicting emphatically the report that the late Mr. George Combe was the author of the "Vestiges of Creation;" he attributes the report to the Critic, and asserts there is no truth in it whatever; the John Bull remarks, in reference to this, that therefore, Lady Lovelace, Lord Brougham, Dr. Carpenter, Mr. Chambers, and others, are not yet "cleared of the imputations of writing this mysterious, but shallow, book; possibly, the damaging exposures of the scientific blunders contained in it, by Professor Sedgwick in the Edinburgh Review, may help to account for the closeness with which the secret has been kept."

From Paris, we hear that a smaller and cheaper edition of the Napoleon Correspondence is in the Imperial press; and that the following have just been published:-A Histoire de César, by M. A. de Lamartine, destined to form the fifth volume of his Vie des grands hommes; the French translation of a work written by Count Cibrasio, Senator, and formerly Sardinian Minister, called The Political Economy of the Middle Ages, preceded by an introduction of M. Wolouski; the first volume of the works of Shakspeare, translated by M. Francois Victor Hugo, the youngest son of the French poet-it is published by Pagnerre at Paris, and contains the tragedy of Hamlet, after the quarto discovered in 1825, now in the possession of the Duke of Devonshire; the first volume of a translation of Motley's Dutch Republic, preceded by a lengthened introduction from the pen of M. Guizot, in which a summary is given of the political and social state of England, France, Spain, and the other countries of Western Europe, during the whole of the period from the Reformation to the beginning of the nineteenth century; a work by Louis

[ocr errors]

Reybaud, entitled Etudes sur le Régime des Manufactures'; and Précis Critique et Militaire de la Guerre d'Orient, by Mr. Hippolyte Vigneron.

The Courrier de Paris states that "one Anselme Schubiger, a German monk, has just discovered the hitherto lost key of the Church music of the middle ages;" adding that "Father Schubiger is said to have been led to his discovery by an ancient tract on the celebrated choristers of St. Gall, who, as is well known, flourished from the eighth to the twelfth century."

In the course of researches in the Library of the University of Turin, M. Benoit, examining judge to the Tribunal of the Seine, discovered in that Library, where it is numbered L 111,117 (in-folio), an unpublished translation into French verse of Dante's Inferno, the author of which is unknown in Italy, and which appears to have itself remained unheard of in France to this day. The approaching centenary-jubilee, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of Schiller's birth, is already being heralded in Germany by all kinds of publications, artistic and literary. The Cotta firm, of Stuttgart, is at last going to give the public the critical edition-so long expected-of Schiller's complete works; an edition on the plan of the Lessing of Messrs, Lachman and Maltzalm. At the same time there are to appear a new biography of Schiller, by M. Emile Palleske, and a similar volume from M. I. Scherr, which will be illustrated by the first artists in Germany. Another artistic work, produced under the inspiration of the centenary anniversary of Schiller's birth, is the Schiller Gallery, of which the first part has appeared during the last few years at Leipzic, and which will contain 50 plates, representing the principal characters in Schiller's dramas, with a portrait of Schiller and his wife. The characters represented in the first part are Heding (wife of William Tell), Gessler, Piccolomini, Lady Milford, and Luisa Miller. The work will be finished before the 10th of November, 1859. Schiller was born 10th November, 1759.

On Thursday last the Annual Meeting of the Booksellers' Provident Institution was held at the Albion Tavern; Edmund Hodgson, Esq., in the chair. The report for the past year was read; it is in the highest degree satisfactory. As much as £949 was distributed last year amongst reduced and necessitous members. The fund property amounts to £22,412. This is really more than double the amount aimed at by the most sanguine of its original founders. We earnestly recommend members of the trade, not yet members of the Provident Society, to become so without loss of time; very specially do we recommend this to young men,— there is every inducement held out to them. What is a subscription of two guineas a year compared to the right that it gives them to claim relief in sickness and distress? It is extraordinary that the present number of members is only 18 beyond 500. The benefits are so great that it amounts to improvidence and recklessness in many not to avail themselves of such a provision. On looking over the figures we find that forty of the annual members, having nearly completed their twenty years' subscription, become life members without anything more to pay, and of the members who have been elected for relief two have received as much as £420, one £346, six £230, and fifteen have received sums varying from £100 to £200.

From New York our correspondent writes:

"Among new books of the last fortnight I have noticed-The Crescent and French Crusaders, or Letters from Algeria, by Geo. H. Ditson, Author of the Para Papers, &c.; Ethel's Love Life, a New England Novel, by Mrs. M. J. M. Sweat; Symbols of the Capital, or Civilisation in New York, by A. D. Mayo; Glimpses of Europe, or Notes drawn at Sight, by a Cincinnati Merchant; an edition of Miss Bremer's Father and Daughter, with a special American Preface, and reprints of Buckland's Curiosities of Natural History; Part I. of Lewes's Physiology of Common Life; and Douglas Jerrold's Life, by his Son, Blanchard Jerrold.

The First Volume of a new illustrated edition of Cooper's Novels (The Pioneers) has appeared, which in type, press-work, and binding, is superior to any book, I have seen recently issued from New York; the illustrations are by Mr. Darley.

Among announcements :- Messrs. Lippincott advertise a valuable book on the Mammalia of North America, with sixty plates, by Professor Spencer F. Baird, of the Smithsonian. Mr. John S. Abbott is preparing a series of Histories of the Monarchies of Continental Europe: the first volume, on the Empire of Austria, is out this week, to be succeeded by Russia, Spain, France, Germany, &c., each in a volume of between 500 and 600 pages, crown 8vo. ; Mr. Milburn (the blind preacher) has a new book called Ten Years of a Preacher's Life, to be speedily published; a New Volume of Sermons, by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher; also a New Volume of the same Author's celebrated Star Papers from the Independent; The Methodist, or Incidents and Character from Life in the Baltimore Conference, by Miriam Fletcher; Acadi, or a Sojourn among the Blue Noses, by Fred. S. Cozens, Author of the Sparrowgrass Papers; Spread-eagleism, by George Francis Train, Author of Young America Abroad; and a volume of select Sermons, by the eloquent Universalist Minister, the Rev. E. H. Chapin.

If any of your English readers have seen a story in the Atlantic for February, called In a Cellar, they will be somewhat surprised to hear that it was written by a young New England lady, who has never travelled out of this country; her name is Miss Harriet Prescott.
