like that of a rhinoceros. He must be insensible to the cruelest snubs, and manifest no sense of anger when he is kicked down stairs. He must throw modesty to the dogs, and let his tiger howl. But above all he must be an adept at the art of puffing. . . He must be ready at all times to say something funny in regard to Smith's grocery, or to surround Miss Flounce's millinery establishment with a halo of glowing adjectives. He must be enthusiastic on the subject of hams, verbose in extolling hardware, and highly imaginative in the matter of dry goods He must talk learnedly of panoramas, with a liberal admixture of knowing words, such as ' warmth,' 'tone,' 'foreshortening,' 'high lights,' 'foregrounds,' 'perspective,' etc. He must be heavy on concerts, with a capacity to appreciate Miss Squawk's execution of difficult feats in the upper register: ecstatic in praise of double-headed calves, and eloquent in behalf of fat women and living skeletons."

Dodge; Florence Percy, Mrs. Elizabeth Akers; Timothy Titcomb, Dr. J. G. Holland; Orpheus C. Kerr, Robert H. Newell; Mrs. Partington, P. B. Shillaber; Artemus Ward, Charles F. Brown; Doesticks P.

DICKENS IN AMERICA.-Messrs. Peterson and Brothers, of Philadelphia, the American publishers of Dickens' works, issue four distinct editions, and have just ready, Our Mutual Friend in each form. Their illustrated duodecimo edition contains all the original English illustrations: in this form each novel is in two volumes, at two dollars per volume. Their People's Duodecimo Edition" contains each novel complete in one volume, with two illustrations, price, 2 dols. 50 cents. Their "Illustrated Octavo Edition" has each novel complete in one volume, with all the English illustrations, price, 2 dols. 50 cents. Their "Cheap Edition" contains each novel complete in one volume, with paper cover, price, 75 cents. Dickens is, without exception, the most popular novelist in the United States; his works have a wider circulation than in England; they sell by thousands, and there is scarce a homestead, even in the remote far west, that has not his volumes on its library shelves. This is a singular proof of international sympathy, and worth a score of arguments. Dickens is a thoroughly English writer. His humour cannot be fully appreciated by readers speaking a foreign language, and, indeed, his works are untranslateable; but in America his humour is even better appreciated than their native wit, his expressed sympathy with what is good and noble, and his pathetic descriptions of sorrow and suffering, find as responsive an echo in American as in English hearts. As a further proof of this general international intellectual sympathy, we may record the fact, that Longfellow as a poet is more widely read in England than in his native country, while Tennyson has a far wider circle of readers and admirers in America than in England.

THE PHILOBIBLION an admirable Bibliographical Journal, first commenced in 1861,-the publication of which was suspended in 1863,- -we are delighted to hear is about to be revived and issued as before, monthly. Messrs. G. P. Philes and Co., of New York, the publishers and editors, deserve the credit of having produced the" very best Bibliographical Journal in the English language, and if the new series is conducted in the same efficient manner as the last, it will do incalculable service in the spread of useful Bibliographical knowledge.

DE BOW'S REVIEW.-We are glad to be able to announce a revival of this well-known and able Review, which suspended publication after a flourishing existence of nearly twenty years. The Editor declares his intention "to give it a national character, and to devote his energies and resources to the development of the great material interests of the Union-its Commerce, Agriculture, Manufactures, Internal

66

Improvements, aud General Industry;" and, specially, "to the re-establishment of Southern prosperity, and the building up of its fields of industry and enterprise." Regarding,' he says, "the issues of the past as dead, about which a practical philosophy will not dispute, and those of the present as living and potential, it is the part of the Review to accept in good faith the situation, and deduce from it all that can be promotive of the best interests of the whole country." It will be remembered that, prior to the war, this Review, published at New Orleans, was conducted with great ability, and reflected the opinions, literary and political, of the educated classes in the South. Subscribers' names will be received by Trübner and Co., 60, Paternoster Row, London.

MR. CHARLES LANMAN is engaged upon a new edition of his Dictionary of Congress; he has ready for publication a revised edition of the southern portion of his Adventures in the Wilds of America, and a volume to be called Hap-Hazard Papers.

PETROLEUM V. NASEBY has in the press a new work, bearing the title Divers Views, Opinions and Prophecies of yours trooly Petroleum V. Naseby." It will form a volume of 425 pages, and be illustrated from comic designs, by Theo. Jones.

MR. WHITELAW REID, of Cincinnati, has in hand a volume containing an accurate account of the present condition and prospects of the South. He is at present travelling through the Ex-confederate States, for the purpose of observing and noting all that may enable him to give a truthful and accurate narrative.

NEVADA.-Mr. R. H. Stretch, of Virginia city, has been appointed State Geologist for the survey of this new State.

MR. D. G. ELLIOTT, the author of a valuable Monograph of the Tetraonina, or family of the Grouse, not yet complete, will shortly commence the issue of a work to contain all New and Unfigured Birds of North America, to be printed in imperial folio. The illustrations of birds in the former work of Mr. Elliott are, without exception, the finest and best we have seen. Each plate is a study.

An old friend, Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque, illustrated by Alfred Crowquill, will shortly be issued from the press of Messrs. Roberts, Brothers, of Boston.

MR. DEAN, OF BOSTON, has nearly ready for the press a Life of the Rev. Nathaniel Ward, of Ipswich, N.E., the author of that curious little volume of quaint conceits and doggerell verse, first published in London in 1647, entitled, "The Simple Cobler of Aggawam in America, willing to help to mend his Native Country, lamentably tattered both in the upper leather and sole." Nathaniel Ward was originally a clergyman in England, but was suspended by Archbishop Laud; emigrated to America, and ultimately returned and died in England. His brother, Samuel Ward, was a distinguished commentator, having written a ponderous folio on St. Matthew.

A Memorial of Edward Everett, from the City of Boston, has just been issued privately-only 100 copies printed. It is a noble volume of 315 pages. containing a full account of the various proceedings, addresses, and speeches, in honour of Mr. Everett, adopted and delivered on occasion of his death, preceded by a brief memoir, written by Rev. E. E. Hall. As many of the speakers were personal friends of Mr. Everett, numerous interesting traits of character are to be met with, and many pleasant anecdotes figure in this volume for the first time. We do not remember to have seen or heard of this incident before :-An English gentleman having printed a county history, sent a copy of his work to the Boston City Library, writing at the same time to Mr. Everett, who was one of the trustees. Mr. Everett, in sending a special acknowledgment, stated that he was at Oxford when the author received his degree, many years before, and had listened with very great pleasure to a poem which he had then recited, and actually quoted from it a passage which had specially impressed him at the time. As the poem had never been published, this anecdote illustrates better than anything we know Mr. Everett's wonderful power of memory.

Mr. T. BUCHANAN READ has recently been giving readings from his own poetical works before a fashionable and numerous assembly in Philadelphia. He also, we believe, con templates giving readings in New York and other cities of the Union.

One of the most interesting volumes of reminiscences we have ever seen. Mrs. Farrar was resident in France at the time of the Revolution in 1793, and afterwards lived in England for many years. She was intimately acquainted with Mrs. Barbauld, Mr. and Mrs. Opie, Benjamin West, Mrs. Fry, Crabbe the poet, Joanna Baillie, Miss Edgeworth, and numerous other literary stars. She met in society many of the literary and political celebrities of the day, and her volume is a charming and interesting narration of anecdote and personal adventure, altogether free from egotism. She has the happy art of describing truthfully and picturing scenes in so life-like a manner, that the characters seem to move and breathe before the reader.
