Hood, Thomas (1798-1845).-WORKS. New York: George P. [781] Putnam. 1864. 6 vols. 12mo. Half calf, top edges gilt. ... This is an Edition by Epes Sargent of Hood's poetical and prose works. The contents of the Series are, briefly :

:

Vol. I. Life of Hood (pp. xi.-xxviii.) and Poems (pp. 3–160), including his celebrated "Dream of Eugene Aram"-" The Bridge of Sighs"-and "The Song of the "Shirt": followed by his "Miscellaneous" Poems (pp. 163–475), with the inimitable "Miss Kilmansegg,' ," "Tale of a Trumpet," and "Faithless Nelly Gray," closing with his "Ode to Rae Wilson," first published in the London Athenæum in rebuke of his crabbed attack on Hood as a writer of verses "characterized by profaneness and "ribaldry."

Vol. II. "Up the Rhine," with all the original Illustrations, and a series of "Ro❝mances and Extravaganzas." The first was originally published in 1839. Most of the Romances were composed during his years of illness. All the world read and laughed over them except the Author's family, whose knowledge of the writer's bodily sufferings precluded them from enjoying these brilliant fancies.

Vol. III. (with Portrait) is a continuation of the Humorous Poems of Hood, including Love and Lunacy, Ballads, Tales and Legends, Odes and Addresses to Great People, and Miscellaneous Poems "now first collected." This volume contains, besides other matter, many of Hood's contributions to the London Magazine and the New Monthly Magazine during his editorial connection with those periodicals.

Hood's first book consisted of the "Odes and Addresses to Great People" (pp. 392– 488), and being originally published anonymously was ascribed to Lamb and others. Nine were by Hood, five by his brother-in-law J. H. Reynolds, and one by them jointly. The Preface (p. xi.) assigns each of them to its respective author.

Vol. IV. consists of his "Whims and Oddities," "National Tales," and two " Hu'morous Tales."

Vol. V. is composed of Dramatic Sketches, Odes, Political Satires, and Miscellaneous Pieces "not contained, with few exceptions, in former collections of his works." Vol. VI. consists mainly of excerpts from the later volumes of the "Comic Annual" and from "Hood's Magazine": the unfinished novel, "Our Family," and a very interesting series of such portions of Hood's writings collected together under the general title of "Autobiographical Papers" as seem "adapted to illustrate his literary life and "character, as well as those which were specially designed for that purpose.”

Many of the prose works are reproduced with the original illustrations. The apology to the readers of the "Echo" for Hood's inability owing to prostration from illness to furnish "Copy" is given Vol. VI. p. 439, and Vols. I., II., III., and V. have Frontispiece and Title-vignette Illustrations. Vol. VI. has the humorous Frontispiece, The Sublime and the ridiculous—a "leetle dawg" barking at a Lion.

The "Contents" at the beginning of each Volume are the only Indexes furnished.

Hopkins, G. M., & Co.—ATLAS of West Philadelphia, including the [782] 24th and 27th Wards of the City of Philadelphia. From

Actual Surveys and Official Records. Philadelphia: Edward Busch. 1872. Atlas folio. Half morocco, lettered.

.. The Work has an Outline and Index Map with Fourteen Plates marked A to O, both inclusive, and Plan of Laurel Hill Cemetery.

The scales of the Map vary from 200 feet to 1000 feet per inch. Mr. Clarence H. Clark's Residence is shown on Map C, pp. 15 and 16.

Hopkins, Sarah Winnemucca (1844?— ).-LIFE AMONG THE [783] PIUTES: Their Wrongs and Claims. Edited by Mrs. Horace Mann [Mary Peabody] and Printed for the Author. Boston: Cupples, Upham & Co. 1883. 1883. 12mo. Cloth.

... The writer is a grand-daughter of "Captain Truckee, who promised friendship for "his tribe to General Fremont, whom he guided into California, and served through the "Mexican war," and who, later, was with General Howard during the " Bannock war." Her plea is that the Indians should be placed under the care of the military, who "deal fairly with them," and not under the delusive "care of Agents."

This is probably the first "outbreak of the American Indian in human literature." The main object of the book was to terminate the exile of a large section of the Piutes from the Malheur Reservation to the Yakima Reservation, across the Columbia River, which took place after the Bannock and Piute Campaign of 1878.

Hoppin, Augustus (1828

).—ON THE NILE. Boston: J. R. [784] Osgood & Co. 1874. Oblong folio. Cloth, lettered, edges gilt.

... A Series of 45 facsimiles of original drawings illustrative of events on a Journey from Paris by Marseilles and Malta to Cairo, Thebes, etc., preceded by an Illustrated Titlepage, and by two vignettes, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the book. Each of the Plates is accompanied by letter-press explanations or remarks on the journey, which are characterized throughout by a tourist's idle, pleasant way of looking at novel sights among strange people in foreign places. "Camel Riding" (Pl. XXVIII.) is very funny.

Hoppin, Augustus.-UPS AND DOWNS on Land and Water. Bos[785] ton: James R. Osgood & Co. 1871. Oblong folio.

Cloth, lettered, edges gilt.

·.· A very amusingly drawn series of 48 facsimiles of original sketches “here and "there," e. g., Crossing the Atlantic-a visit to " Evans's" and Hampton Court Maze, etc., in London-Dover to Ostend enjoyments-Ober Ammergau accommodations for travellers the Partenkirchen Tyrolean "Singists"-Fountain near Trafoi on the Stelvio Pass-the "splendid scenery" of the Engadine in rain-Lucerne-Source of the Rhone-Leukerbad-Gemmi Pass-etc. etc., and Welcome Home.

A humorous view of a tourist's idle scramble hither and thither, emphasized by a clever and ready pencil.

Hoppin, Professor J. M.-HENRY ARMITT BROWN, Memoir of: [786] Together with four Historical Orations (and Portrait). Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. 1880. 8vo. Cloth, top edges gilt.

... H. A. Brown was born 1844 and died August 21, 1878.

The four Orations are:

1. The Congress of 1774, delivered in Carpenter's Hall on the One Hundredth Anniversary.

2. The Settlement of Burlington, delivered in that City December 6, 1877, in commemoration of the two hundredth anniversary. The Orator was seventh in descent from James Browne, as the name was originally spelt, one of the colonists who came over in the "good ship Kent" in 1677, five years before the landing of Penn. 3. Oration at Valley Forge, June 19, 1878, the One Hundredth Anniversary of the departure of the army of the Revolution from winter quarters at that place. ... It was at this Meeting Mr. Brown contracted his fatal illness.

4. Oration composed to be delivered at Freehold, N. J., 28 June, 1878, the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Battle of Monmouth.

. He composed this in bed in the week of June 21 to June 28, but never rallied, dying August 21, after struggling eight weeks with typhoid fever.

Horace [Quintus Flaccus Horatius] (B. C. 65-8).—OPERA OMNIA, [787] recensuit Filon. Parisiis: A. Sautelet. 1828. 32mo. Morocco extra, edges gilt, in drop case.

.. The principal feature of this Edition is its being printed in “microscopic" type. In the Satires (for instance) there are 45 lines in a page and yet the extreme size of the page, including margins, is only 234 inches in height and 134 inch in width.

If the type-setters and proof-readers have suffered from perpetual blindness after completing this Edition, who shall wonder? If they have not so suffered, who shall not wonder?

It was published to rival an Edition of Skakespeare in exceedingly small type, then recently published in England.

Horace.-WORKS: Illustrated chiefly from the remains of ancient [788] Art. With a Life by the Rev. Henry Hart Milman. London: John Murray. 1849. 8vo. Morocco extra, edges gilt. Illust. a. c. and at end (14 pp.).

... The Edition is elaborately prepared. There are eight separate illuminated titlepages to the several divisions of his works, and each page has a varied, wide, coloured, ornamental border. Among the Introductory matter (194 pp.) are the Life of Horace

(pp. 1-87), Fasti Horatiani, a useful list of dates epitomizing the Life (pp. 89–96), and the Persona Horatianæ, an excellent biographical account of the persons mentioned in the works of Horace (pp. 111–194).

The Illustrations are taken chiefly from the Remains of Ancient Art, and are by George Scharf, Junior, and Owen Jones.

Hornaday, William T.-TWO YEARS in the Jungle, The Experi[789] ences of a Hunter and Naturalist in India, Ceylon, the

Malay Peninsula and Borneo. With Maps and Illustrations. Fourth Edition. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. 1887. 8vo. Cloth. 53 Illust. a. c. Index, 2 col. pp. 497-512.

... Mr. Hornaday travelled "third class" from Bombay to Allahabad, 845 miles, for about $7.50, but is not sure "that he would do it again, but for once the experience "was worth the discomfort." His hunting began with a month's almost "unalloyed "enjoyment" on the Jumna. He went as far as Agra, and thence worked his way to Calcutta, from whence he went by water to Madras and thence travelled to the Neilgherry Hills, and later round and about Ceylon, the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo. The book is filled with accounts of Orang-utans, Elephants, and Gavials (a genus of the order Crocodilia), with descriptions of the habits and customs of many interesting tribes, and shows "what may be seen and done by almost any healthy young man in two "years of ups and downs in the East Indies." His good fortune in freedom from "ac"cidents" was something remarkable, for “ from first to last he did not meet with so "much bodily harm as a cut finger, and returned home with health wholly unim"paired." He had, however, his due quota of sicknesses, apparently, for "during his “three months on the Animallais” he had “nine separate attacks of fever, and all the "time there were from five to ten raw ulcers on each of his ankles, which he had to "dress daily with court plaster and cotton before he could wear his hunting shoes," and which did not get well till he had left Southern India and been some time in Ceylon.

He went on a roving commission (1876–1879) from a private employer, with plenty of cash, and "a liberal salary," to collect specimens of all sorts that a taxidermist could treat and transmit for future use in Museums, etc.

Hosack, John.-MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, and Her Accusers. Em[790] bracing a Narrative of Events from the death of James V.

in 1542 until the death of the Regent Murray in 1570. Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons. 1869. 8vo. Half calf, top edges gilt.

... The main object of the work is to print a copy of the "Book of Articles produced "by the Queen's Accusers against her at the Conference at Westminster in 1568," which has "never hitherto been published."

This is printed from a copy preserved among the Hopetoun Manuscripts belonging to the Earl of Hopetoun. The question of the Articles is fully dealt with in the work

of Mr. Hosack, and some facsimiles are given at the beginning of the book to prove the genuineness of the "Articles."

A copy of the "Book of Articles presented to the Commissioners of Queen Elizabeth "at Westminster by the Earl of Murray, on the 6th of December, 1568," is given pp. 522-548.

Mr. Hosack argues that "so long as beauty and intellect, a kindly spirit in pros"perity, and matchless heroism in misfortune attract the sympathies of men, this illus"trious victim of sectarian violence and barbarous statecraft will ever occupy the most "prominent place in the annals of her sex."

· A sketch of the last days of the Confederate General, Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson (1824-1863), by Dr. Hunter McGuire, detailing the wounds and death of this noted Officer, is given pp. 118–131. Dr. McGuire attended him to the end.

He was wounded at Chancellorsville on May 2 by a volley from his own men, who, in the darkness, mistook the Staff for a party of Federal Cavalry. Jackson died 10th May, 1863.

Houbraken, Arnold (1660–1719).—De Groote SCHONBURGH der [792] Nederlantsche Konstschilders en Schilderessen. Waar van

'er vele met hunne Beeltenissen ten Tooneelvers-chynen, en hun levensgedrag en Konstwerken beschreven worden: zynde een vervolg op het Schilderboek van K. v. Mander. Amsterdam: The Author. 1718-21. 3 vols. 8vo. Half calf, edges red. Illust., see each Vol. at end.
