HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY.

The Life and Times of Martin Luther. pp. 550.
A History of the Huguenots. pp. 628.

Mr. W. Carlos Martyn is the author of both of these works, and they are published by the American Tract Society. They do not profess to be original contributions, but the author tells us that he has consulted all the important sources in English, French and German. The style is well adapted to the general reader, and the narrative is condensed and well told.

The Life and Works of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: from the German of Adolph Stahr. By E. P. Evans, Ph. D., Professor of Modern Languages and Literature in the University of Michigan. 2 vols. pp. xvi., 383; ix., 442. Boston: William V. Spencer.

Both publisher and translator are to be thanked for bringing this volume within the reach of English readers. It traces the career of a man who occupied a critical and influential position in German literature, and cannot be perused without great profit by any one interested in any degree in the development of the German mind or of modern æsthetics. The translation reads smoothly and connectedly, and the work has been published in excellent style by Mr. Spencer. It is a valuable contribution to literary biography, and one of the most important and acceptable of our recent issues.

POETRY.

Poems in Sunshine and Firelight. By John James
Piatt. pp. 127. Cincinnati: R. W. Carroll &

Co.

Mr. Piatt's verses give evidence of a facility in

poetic composition. He writes smoothly, has an
eye which recognizes the poetic element, and is
kept clear of metaphysical poetry by a tendency to
give objectivity to his conceptions, and deal with
the real and the visible. His volume compares
favorably with those of his brother bards.
Hopefully Waiting, and Other Verses. By Anson D.
F. Randolph.
Pp. 101.
New York: Charles

Scribner & Co.
"Little Bessie," "Margaret Brown," and "The
Color-Sergeant," are verses which would reflect
credit on any of our poets, and besides these, there
are other pieces in the volume indicating not only
a fine conception but beauty of expression. The
volume is gracefully dedicated to Mr. Scribner, who
has issued it in an unexceptionable style of neat-

Poems. By Robert K. Weeks.
New
York: Leypoldt & Holt.
Mr. Weeks, like most of our poets, confines him-
self to brief fugitive pieces upon topics many of
them in themselves unpoetic. Thus, among his
subjects are "A Vagabond," "A Hand," A Path,"
"A Sinner," etc., and eight lines to "Good-Bye."

War Poems. By Elbridge Jefferson Cutler. pp. 59.
Boston: Little, Brown & Co.

Plentiful as war poems have been of late, there are nevertheless some of them that possess decided merit, although most are commendable rather for their patriotic sentiment than poetic ability. This volume is small, and contains only thirteen pieces, yet they bear marks of careful and studied preparation, and the accuracy of versification has been closely scrutinized. The "Reveille" is quite an effective composition.

King Reno's Daughter: A Danish Lyrical Drama.
By Henrik Hertz: translated by Theodore Martin.
pp. xii., 100. New York: Leypoldt & Holt.
Hertz was born at Copenhagen, in 1798.
His
works consist of novels, operas, and romances.
King René's Daughter appeared in 1845, and took
a high place in literature. It has been translated
into German four times, and four times into Eng-
lish, and has been represented at leading theatres
in Germany, Holland, Sweden, England, and the
United States. The scene of the play lies in Pro-
vence, a valley of Vaucluse, and the time is the
middle of the fifteenth century.
Studies. By John A. Dorgan; third edition. pp.
viii., 223. Philadelphia: Charles H. Marot.

We have been favored within the last fortnight with an unusual number of volumes of poetry; but among those contributed by our own bards, that of Mr. Dorgan deserves a very prominent position. It is undoubtedly characterized by a decided poetic ability. He writes on a variety of topics, but avoids unpoetic themes, and even his briefest verses gene

rally embody and express a completed thought.
The poems are pervaded by a vein of reflection and
suggestiveness, the versification is smooth, and the
language free from extravagance and the conceits
which are unfortunately just now so fashionable.
the volume before, but the merit and ability of the
We have no recollection of ever having met with
contents are such that we are by no means sur-
prised that it should have reached a third edition.
It deserves to be widely known, and the fine manner
in which Mr. Marot has produced it will add to its
attractiveness.

Our Little One; The Little Shoe; Little Feet; Little
Footsteps. pp. xii., 112. Boston: Gould & Lin-

coln.

Here is a little collection of poetical productions which will touch the heart of parents, especially of those whose memory cherishes the echo of a gladsome footfall that shall nevermore be heard on earth again. It was a happy thought to construct such a volume, and there is no mother in the land who will not sympathize with it, whether she looks around her upon an unbroken family circle, or casts a tearful eye upward where He who blessed little ones here welcomes them above in the Heavenly kingdom which is of such.

JAN. 1, 1867.

The Poetical Works of Thomas Gray. pp. viñ., 128. Cambridge: Sever & Francis.

The publishers have given us here a beautiful copy of Gray. It is printed on heavy toned paper, with neat clear-faced type, and embellished with eight illustrations by Birket Foster, besides numerous ornamental head and tail-pieces drawn by Mr. Rogers. It is in every way a fine specimen of handsome book-making highly creditable to the taste of Messrs. Sever & Francis.

Paradise Lost: A Poem in Twelve Books. By John Milton a new edition, with explanatory notes. pp. xiv., 409. New York: Hurd & Houghton. The preface states that an attempt is made here to present a neat and serviceable edition, with brief explanatory notes, which may prove especially useful to a class of readers in our schools and elsewhere who can relish Milton's poetry, but have few formal books of reference. That purpose is doubtless accomplished, but the work has no special value for the critical student of Milton. The notes are chiefly expositions of words, and nothing is said about the text which has been adopted, though more use has evidently been made of Keightley's than of that of any of the other editors. The volume is printed at the Riverside Press, and presents quite a neat

The American Photographic Almanac for 1867, being an Annual Appendix to Humphrey's Journal of Photography and the Allied Arts and Sciences. By John Towler, M. D. pp. 102.

These are both published by Joseph H. Ladd, New York. Their contents are clearly indicated by their titles, and the author is well known as the editor of "Humphrey's Journal of Photography."

FICTION.

deserve to be more extensively read than they have been of late.

Father Tom and the Pope; a Night at the Vatican. pp. 71. Philadelphia: John Penington & Son. Twenty-eight years have elapsed since the first appearance of this story in "Blackwood's Magazine," but since that time it has been winning for itself increasing favor with the lovers of humor. If the reader is still unacquainted with it, we advise him straightway to betake himself thereto, and we envy him the pleasure of a first perusal. This edition of it by the Messrs. Penington is correctly styled by them an "amateur's edition," for the clear legible type, fine thick paper, and neat small quarto form, will certainly gratify the fastidious bookbuyer. It is from the press of Collins, the printer of "THE LITERARY GAZETTE AND PUBLISHERS' CIRCULAR." The story is preceded by a preface containing a brief sketch of the dog-loving scaltheenbrewing Rev. Thomas Maguire, the original Father Tom.

Annals of a Quiet Neighborhood. By George MacDonald, M. A., author of "David Elginbrod," etc. pp. 381. New York: Harper & Brothers.

This story was well received when it originally appeared in a serial form. It is sensible and suggestive, and constitutes a very effective presentation of Christian experience and duty.

St. Elmo; a Novel. By Augusta T. Evans. pp. 571. New York: Carleton.

The "Beulah" and "Macaria" of Miss Evans had each quite a run. All of her striking qualities of style are here reproduced, and the whole work, as we judge from the chapters we have read, is in no degree inferior to the two which have preceded it. The "in terrorum," on page 179, is a blemish attributable, we trust, to the proof-reader, rather than the author.

Out of Town; a Rural Episode. By Barry Gray; with illustrations. Pp. x., 311. New York:

Hurd & Houghton.

his chapters, that "Elia" was one of the few EngMr. Gray may well say, as he does in one of lish writers of the present century whom he should have been glad to have met. He has certainly caught much of the pleasantness and nice humor of the gentle Essayist. The broad humanity, neatness of description, touches of pathos, and pervading pleasantness which are here blended render it one of the most genial volumes which can gladden the family fireside on these long evenings of mid-winter.

Cameron Hall; a Story of the Civil War. By M. A. C., author of "The Little Episcopalian," etc. pp. 543. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. Mary A. Cruse, the lady who writes this story, appears to reside at Huntsville, Alabama. As it is written from a Southern standpoint, it will furnish matter for an interesting comparison with our Northern war fictions. It claims to be a truthful picture, not only of the scenes and events which Jo-occurred immediately around the author's home, but also of the inner thoughts and feelings of the Southern heart.

These are Nos. 284 and 283 of Harpers' Library of Select Novels.

They are edited by Michael Banin, the survivor of the Family, who contributes to each work an introduction and notes. As spirited sketches of Irish scenes these stories

SCHOOL BOOKS.

The Primary Union Speaker: containing original and selected pieces for declamation and recitation in Primary Schools. By John D. Philbrick; with illustrations. pp. iv., 159. Boston: Taggard & Thompson.

The object of Mr. Philbrick is to furnish a collection of diversified pieces in prose and verse, adapted to the capacity of children from six to twelve years of age, and for use both at home and in school. The selections are well made, illustrations are scattered through the text, and the volume is quite neat in appearance.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Young Housekeeper's Friend. By Mrs. Cornelius; revised and enlarged. pp. v., 254. Boston: Taggard & Thompson.

The object is here to furnish young housekeepers with directions and receipts, accompanied with suggestions as to the mode of proceeding in making each article for which a receipt is given. All of the receipts, it is stated, have been tested by the experience of the authoress and of her friends.

The New Gospel of Peace, according to St. Benjamin. pp. xxvi., 343. New York: The American News Company.

The New Gospel, in its present form, consists of four books. The first of them was published in the summer of 1863, and was regarded as one of the most successful political squibs which appeared during the war. The second book appeared at a later period of the same year; the third in 1864, and the fourth in the present year. There is a good deal of humor in the book, and the author is capable of being entertaining and satirical without the aid of wretched spelling.

"The

American Scenes; Familiar Notes of Thought and Life. By Samuel Osgood, author of Hearthstone," etc. pp. viii., 380. New York: Harper & Brothers.

There are fifteen papers collected here, most of which have appeared from time to time in Harper's Magazine. The subjects are diversified, but they are all treated in a thoughtful, pleasant way, and the volume will be found an acceptable one for family reading.

The History of a Mouthful of Bread, and its Effect on the Organization of Man and Animals. By Jean Macé. Translated from the eighth French edition, by Mrs. Alfred Gatty; first American edition, reprinted from the above, carefully revised and compared with the seventeenth French edition. pp. 398. New York: American News Company.

We are glad to see this work republished. It is popular in France, where it has passed through a number of editions, and it deserves to be extensively read. The style is attractive, the explanations are intelligible to the youthful capacity, and it abounds in valuable information pleasantly imparted. It is not a mere reprint, but the English

tions have been consulted.

The Complete Angler; or, the Contemplative Man's Recreation, of Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton. Edited by John Major. pp. xiv., 445. Boston: Little, Brown & Co.

We have here a charming reproduction of Major's fine edition of good old Izaak. It abounds in embellishments in steel and in wood, and its typography is an admirable specimen of the handiwork of Welch, Bigelow & Co. It is altogether an edition which will gratify the most fastidious, and furnishes additional evidence, if any such were needed, of the taste and liberality of the publishers.
