A MONTHLY REGISTER Of the most important Works published in NORTH and SOUTH AMERICA, in INDIA, CHINA, and the British Colonies: with occasional Notes on German, Dutch, Danish, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian Books. Messrs. TRÜBNER & Co., 60, Paternoster Row, London, have imported and supply the whole of the American and Oriental Works named in this Literary Record. N.B.-All the Books named in this and previous Numbers are described from actual examination, and every work is either in the possession or has passed through the hands of MESSRS. TRÜBNER & Co. Librarians and Scholars, therefore, who experience any difficulty in procuring the works, would do well to communicate direct with the Publishers of this RECORD. 48 may be readily supposed, it would be imprudent to import such works in large quantities; but where all the copies of the works specified are actually sold, they can be replaced, if a reasonable time be allowed. EUROPEAN, COLONIAL, AND AMERICAN LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. THE LOST CAUSE AND ITS MEMORIALS.-A Society has been lately organized in New Orleans for the preservation of the records of the Confederate army. In urging all Con. federate soldiers to aid in furthering the objects of the Society, a Memphis paper says:-"By the testimony of those who have survived the dread ordeal of battle and the vicissitudes of war, the dead are to be judged, and the 'Lost Cause' be lifted beyond calumny." WOMAN'S RIGHTS AND LITERARY DEGREES.-A contemporary makes the following remarks:-" As the learned ladies of some of the United States are now to have college degrees granted to them by the Institutes' in which they have been educated, it has to be considered what these degrees shall be. Grammatically, a woman can be neither a Bachelor of Arts, nor a Master of Arts. The various reforms of the century promise, indeed, to make a hopeless jumble of gender. 'A.M.' may well enough signify in English Mistress of Arts,' but it will be impossible to give 'A.B.' anything like a feminine twist. A.V.' might stand for 'Virgin of Arts,' but suppose the graduating fair happens to be married? A.M.' might equally answer for Miss of Arts,' or Matron of Arts,' but it would be, we fear, as the lawyers say, 'Void for uncertainty.' THE NEW YORK GENEOLOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. This Society is already in possession of the nucleus of a valuable library. Their last meeting was held at the Mott Memorial House, Madison Avenue, on the 8th of July. THE DARTMOUTH COLLEGE CLASS of 1843 has issued a memorial volume of one hundred and sixty-four pages, containing sketches of the one hundred and four members of that famous class, with tables and college reminiscences, which every member of the class and other graduates will, of course, desire to have. Application may be made to the class secretary, Jonathan Tenney, care of Joel Munsell, Albany, New York. WOOD PULP FOR PAPER.-Experiments have been in progress for years to produce pulp for paper from wood, and it is said, up to the present time with but partial success. Now, however, Albert Fickett, of Rochester, New York, seems to have solved the problem. This is his pro cess: The trees are denuded of bark, and cut up into blocks one inch in length, these blocks are steamed, then crushed end wise, so that the fibre is preserved. Any kind of wood may be used, and it is found that this pulp may be manufactured for less than one farthing per pound. COLOUR PRINTING.-It is said that the proprietors of the Western World have discovered a new process which will completely revolutionize the present mode of printing in colours, all the colours being printed at once. AMERICAN SCIENCE ASSOCIATION.-Amongst the papers read before the American Science Association was one on the longevity of ships and on the values of standard monetary units, by Prof. E. B. Elliott, of Washington. Another was read on trichini spiralis by Dr. J. B. Barker, of Canada. Prof. Agassiz did not want the people to abstain from one kind of flesh food more than another, for they all contain parasites which are harmless when the food is properly cooked. He was certain that in eating fish we swallowed millions of them. Dr. Tyson said that trichina had been discovered in beef. All who spoke on the subject agreed that properly cooked food was a preventative of bad results. Another paper was upon the distribution of coal, iron, and precious metals in China. It was read by Prof. A. S. Beckmore, who explored a large section of the empire in 1866. He travelled inland more than two thousand miles by boat, a journey that could have been accomplished in one boat had it been made in the rainy season, so complete are the inland water connections. He visited and explored the coal mines within thirty-five miles of Peking, where machinery is never used. The coal, which is good anthracite, and has been used since 1290, is taken to the great city on the backs of animals, where it is ground to dust and mixed with clay for use. Gold is quite abundant, yet the Chinese authorities discourage the mining of it. BOOKS, ETC, PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION AND RECENTLY PUBLISHED. One of the most important books announced for publication, and of especial interest to the scientific public, will be the first volume of "The Scientific Results of a Journey in Brazil," It will contain Mr. F. Hartt's treatise on the physical geography and geology of the Atlantic Provinces, and Prof. Louis Agassiz's own observations on the natural history of marine animals. It will be published by Messrs. Field, Osgood and Co., Boston, Mass. ; and Trübner and Co., London. -Our friend Mr. T. O. H. P. Burnham, the antiquarian bookseller of Boston, Mass., announces an enterprize of some magnitude; he intends to publish the "Bibles of the World," as he calls them, or translations of the sacred writings connected with the religions of our planet, and he intends to commence with the "Vedas," which are announced for speedy publication.— Messrs. Fields, Osgood, and Co., give us a very attractive list of forthcoming books, amongst them the following: :-"Whittier's Complete Poems," Merrimac edition, 2 vols., uniform with the "Farringford Tennyson;" "Lowell's Poems," diamond edition; "Waittier's Ballads of New England," with 60 illustrations; "Gates Ajar," with drawings, by Miss Jessie Curtis; and "Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy," which is already well known to readers of "Our Young Folks." Professor James Russell Lowell promises a volume of critical and literary essays, entitled "Among My Books," a title sufficient to interest his admirers. Col. Higginson's "Life in a Black Regiment," will be welcomed by the friends of the Negro, as will also Mr. Samuel J. May's "Recollections of the Anti-Slavery Conflict."-A new "Drum and Fife Instructor" is published by G. A. Strube, Drum-major 12th Infantry. The late American War, and Volunteering in England, gave an impetus to the study of these musical instruments, and if this instructor should prove a well written one, it will not lack patronage. -Prof. M. Schele de Vere announces "Wonders of the Deep to be published by G. P. Putnam & Son, and "The Great Empress; a Portrait,' ," J. B. Lippincott & Co.Mr. Henry James, author of "Substance and Shadow," has issued a volume entitled "The Secret of Swedenborg," which treats of that puzzle to many theologians, viz., the "Incarnation." Mr. James is said to be not exactly an orthodox New Jerusalem churchman, so perhaps outsiders will get a more impartial view of the doctrine than by reading the orthodox books of the said church.--Recently published, we have "Brinton's Guide Book to Florida," which ought to bring the flowery State more under the notice of intending emigrants. It is quite a marvel why Florida has been passed over in these days of emigration, considering it has one of the finest climates in the world, neither too hot nor too cold, and its death-register ranges very low, although many invalids go there to save their lives. There is certainly a time coming when Florida, with its healthy pine lands and fertile hummocks, will not be forgotten, but get its fair share of emigrants." The History of Marriage; or Polygamy and Monogamy Compared," by a Christian Philanthropist, seems to be creating some little furor. The author advocates Polygamy, and says that nowhere in the Old or New Testament is it forbidden, except in the case of the priesthood. Without looking at the moral side of the question, there are many husbands, and would-be husbands, who would kindly thank the "Christian Philanthropist," if he could enlighten them how to keep one wife, especially in city life. Speaking of Polygamy, it seems to spur on the Mormons to industry to keep their large families, for they last year irrigated and made fruitful 93,799 acres of land. Altogether they had a AMERICAN large amount of land under cultivation; 80,518 acres in cereals, 1,817 in sorghum, 6,839 in root crops, 166 in cotton, 29,876 in meadow, 906 in apples, 1,011 in peaches, 75 in grapes, and 195 in currants. The largest part of these lands is artificially irrigated.—Whipple's "Literature of the Age of Elizabeth" consists of chapters on that interesting period in the literature of England which extended from Elizabeth's reign to that of James the First, and were delivered as lectures at the Lowell Institute.-Prof. William D. Whitney, Ph. D., LL.D., Author of " Language and the Study of Language,” etc., has written "A Compendious German Grammar." The plan of the work has been suggested by his experience as a teacher of German in Yale College during the past fifteen years. It aims at furnishing the best practical aid to the scholar who is trying to learn German especially for the sake of access to German literature, but who would gain at the same time such grammatical and philological training as it can be made to yield, without neglecting the main object, or turning aside for special studies in comparative grammar and the philosophy of language. He has also compiled a German Reader, in prose and verse, with notes and vocabulary. This Reader contains about two hundred and fifty pages of German text, almost equally divided between prose and verse, and arranged upon a progressive plan.—In the musical way, Mr. Theo. E. Perkins gives us "Sabbath Carols," and "Mount Zion," a collection of sacred and secular music; these musical collections must find a large circulation in America, and we are inclined to think that the Americans are more musical than the English, at any rate where part music is concerned. PERIODICALS, ETC.-The Overland Monthly for October, is quite as interesting as usual. "Are our Public Schools a Failure?" No. 2 shows the defects of those institutions. Certainly the good old fashioned respect for parents and reverence for age seem likely to die out in the United States; perhaps the Chinese, who are celebrated for those virtues, will help to restore them; have the Social Scientists who are at present puzzled about these immigrants considered this? "Our Antipodean Cousin" is an interesting article on Melbourne, and shows the distress and poverty existing there from the late suicidal policy of protection.-The Atlantic Monthly for October, in an Article on "The Increase of Human Life," shows us that its average is longer in modern than in ancient times, and that the tables of tontine insurances have to be revised from time to time. "A Dredging Excursion in the Gulf Stream, “gives us a relation of one of Prof. Agassiz's excursions. Mrs. Stowe's answer to the press opinions, on her article about Lord Byron, are to appear in the November number,-Harper's Monthly for October, gives us "A Health Trip to Brazil," with illustrations, and an article on Loyola and the Jesuits," this latter we suspect is from the pen of H. C. Lea, Esq. The rest of the contents are good as usual. The price of this Magazine would insure it a large circulation in England, if its matter was all original. OBITUARY.-Jaeger (Professor Benoit), a well-known philological student, died at Brooklyn, aged 83,-Cleveland (Professor Charles Dexter), author of several college books on literature, died at Philadelphia.-Copway (George), Kahge-ga-gah-bowh, an author, Chief of the Ojibway Indians (or nation, as he called them), died at Ypsilanti, Michigan.
