The imports of books was beneath the notice of the officials. Of rags and other materials for the manufacture of paper, there were imported 67,819, 71,155, and 94,983 tons in the same years. old woollen rags, there were 66,193,792 lbs. imported in the same time, but these were "to be torn up to be used as wool" in the manufacture of new cloth. The entire value of the papermaking materials is estimated at £1,855,613, and of the paper, £1,372,898. The exports of foreign-made paper for the three years are entered as 27,438, 24,537, and 18,327 cwts. ; and of English manufacture, 167,658, 141,075, and 206,149 cwts.; the value of the latter being £549,000, £448,000, and £639,000.

Messrs. Bell and Daldy have published a shilling edition of " Essays of Elia." These exquisite character-sketches-issued in this form by arrangement with Messrs. Moxon, the proprietors of the copyright-have been followed by a companion volume, containing the "Last Essays of Elia ;" and thus modern readers will for a florin obtain a complete set of Charles Lamb's best writings. A portrait of their author, from Wageman's picture, accompanies the "Essays," twenty-eight in number, including the never-to-be-forgotten "South-sea House," "Mrs. Battle's Opinions on Whist," and the "Dissertation on Roast Pig. "Lamb was essentially a town-bred man; and though he retired into the country after vacating his stool at the East India House in Leadenhall Street, his sympathies were metropolitan and literary, rather than rural or romantic. But as a graceful and playful essayist he has never been surpassed.

Mr. Freeman has published, as a shilling pamphlet, the two lectures delivered by Mr. Frederick Leonard, at the Town Hall, HemelHempstead, in aid of the sufferers by the recent colliery explosions in Yorkshire and Lancashire. The lectures are severally entitled, "Mrs. Grundy," and "Disagreeable People;" and very pleasant reading they are; the fact of their publication showing that interest is taken in the topics discussed by others than those to whom they were originally addressed. Mr. Leonard, who is high-bailiff of HemelHempstead, possesses the rare faculty of writing about humorous things in a humorous way; and if his manner of delivery was as easy and unconstrained as is his style of writing, his audience must have been delighted.

Messrs. Houlston and Wright have issued a series of arithmetical cards in six packets, adapted to the six standards of the revised code; each packet consists of twenty-eight cards of sums composed in words, with a card of answers. The plan appears to be a good one.

Some time ago we received a volume p lished by Mr. Caudwell, "Theoretical Astrono Examined and Exposed." It appeared to be tissue of absurdities, and we omitted all not of it. This omission was fortunate; for author has fallen foul of some of the few journ that had the patience to look into the work, a both in prose and verse has published his opini of their stupidity.

CHEAP EDITION OF BYRON.-Mr. Dicks son time ago published a complete edition of Shal speare for a shilling; he has followed that by edition of Byron for sevenpence. The size of t volume is large foolscap octavo; it contains 4 pages, has a portrait of the author printed se rately upon toned paper, and sixteen vigne illustrations by Gilbert, and the weight is 9 The typography is good, the printing very fa so are the illustrations; but as may be expecte the paper is poor.

From the Illustrated Sydney News we lea Mr. G. B. Barton has published a volume some interest -"The Poets and Prose Writers New South Wales." It appears to be a seq to an account of "Literature in New Son Wales," and is described as an octavo volume224 pages. We think there should be some pa chasers in this country if copies found their wa here.

Under the title of "Betsy Jane Ward's Bo of Goaks," Messrs. Routledge have publish another specimen of Yankee humour, wh though hardly up to the original form of quaint Artemus, is very characteristic and sant reading.

The first volume of Mr. Anthony Trollop "Last Chronicles of Barset" has made appearance. The tale reads much better in volume than it did in weekly numbers, author having hardly attained the skill o penny contemporaries in making each hebdona portion end with a clap-trap.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT LAW. - Some ench dramatic authors, feeling themselves grieved by the liberties English playwrights take th their productions, have petitioned the House *Commons for protection. The document, preinted by Mr. Locke, professes to be

"The humble Petition of an Association of certain Men fLetters, Dramatic Authors, and Composers of Music;" nd states, "That in the year 1852 a convention was exanged and ratified between France and Great Britain lating to copyright in works of literature and the fine ta, and to the right of representing dramatic works and asal compositions, wherein it is agreed that the authors al composers of the one country may have, under certain

itions, all the rights and privileges which authors and Camposers of the other country possess and enjoy therein." That Article 4 of the convention provides for an interchange of the said rights of public performance in the following words, amongst others :

"It is understood that the protection stipulated by the present article is not intended to prohibit fair imitations or adaptations of dramatic works to the stage in England and France respectively, but is only meant to prevent pratical translations. The question whether a work is an imitation or a piracy shall in all cases be decided by the Courts of Justice of the respective countries, according to the laws in force in each."

That the managers of English theatres have caused to be made translations of dramatic works the property of so of your Petitioners, and said works have been perfred and continue to be performed in England, but aled "fair imitations" or "adaptations;" nevertheless, As of notoriety in Great Britain that said translations are piratical translations.

That some of the Petitioners having detected a partanlar and flagrant case of piratical translation, founded thereon an action at law, and the matter was tried before an English jury; but because of the ambiguity of the above-mentioned words in the convention, the action at law failed, and the Petitioners were defeated of justice. And they verily believe that the said words do virtually abrogate the true spirit and intention of the convention, and render it a dead letter. That the works of English dramatic authors have been performed in France, but the rights of the English dramatic author have been, and are fully recognised to his profit and credit; the French tribunals accepting the spirit and intention rather than the letter of the law. They therefore humbly solicit that steps may be taken either to modify the above ambiguous chase for which modification there is a special provision in the Convention Article 14) or to erase the same, or in any other wise to help them.

A memorial has been presented to the Hebdomadal Council at Oxford, praying that the honorary degree of B.A. should be conferred upon Mr. Robert Browning, in order to qualify him a candidate for the Poetry Professorship; but the members of the Council have declined to take action in the matter. Mr. Martin Farquhar Tupper is already a Bachelor of Arts; perhaps Orford might prefer him.

The judges appointed to examine the competiitive designs for the new National Gallery have made their report to the Chief Commissioner. While they refrain from recommending the acceptance of any one of the designs, they speak favourably of the plan proposed by Mr. Murray for an alteration of the present building, and of the design of Mr. Edward Barry for an entirely

new gallery.

Under the title of Tennysoniana, Mr. Basil M. Pickering, son of the kickering, announces à volume of "Notes Critical and Bibliographical on the works of Alfred Tennyson." Containing an account of his early and suppressed Poems, and of the alterations made in his different editions; a Comparison of " In Memoriam," and the Sonnets of Shakspeare; an account of the early criticisms on Tennyson, by A. H. Hallam, Sterling, Prof. Wilson, Prof. Maurice. Leigh Hunt, Wordsworth, Coleridge, and John Stuart Mill with a bibliographical list of his works from 1827 downwards.

The first quarter of 1867 opens inauspiciously for Art, equally in England, France, and Germany. Each country has to mourn the loss of a distinguished painter. Just as our last number was going to press, the well-known Academician, John Phillip-an artist in many respects unique in style and original in conception-laid aside his brush and palette. A few weeks previously, France lost the most celebrated of her painters the chief of the old academical and classical school-M. Ingrès: and now, in the person of Peter von Cornelius, Germany loses her grandest art-exponent; a man who, like Overbeck and Schnorr, has achieved European reputation. Ingrès and Cornelius had long passed the three score and ten of man's earthly pilgrimage, but the gifted and versatile Phillip was yet in the full vigour of his manhood and the height of his fame when he died. A proposal-which we hope to see carried out-has been made for the purchase of one or more of his pictures for the national collection.

Fuller's works, or most of them, have long been out of print, and many will be glad to hear that Mr. Tegg is about to issue a new edition, in crown 8vo, of "Abel Redivivus," "The Cause and Cure of a Wounded Conscience," and the "Triaunu."

The copyrights of Dr. Beard's educational works, Self-Culture," "Primer," and "Letter Writer," have been purchased by Messrs. Abel Heywood & Son, Manchester, by whom they will in future be published.

A museum of such articles as tend to illustrate the Bible is being formed by the Palestine Exploration Fund Committee. Room will be found for this interesting collection at South Kensington.

Emile de Girardin has been tried in Paris before the tribunal of Correctional Police, on the charge of exciting the people to "hatred and contempt of the government," by an article in the Liberté. The printer was included in the accusation, and was let off with a fine of 100 francs, while the author of the libel was condemned to pay 5,000 francs-£200; the court accepting M. Girardin's defence, and giving him the benefit of extenuating circumstances.

Another curious story about Lamartine is going the rounds of the Paris papers. It seems that, according to the Liberté, the subscribers to his Cours de Littérature and his Memoirs, had addressed to him "several thousand letters, containing orders of from twenty to forty francs each.' These letters, it seems, were kept in baskets (!) awaiting the poet's return to Paris, from which he had been absent for nearly a month. baskets accidentally caught fire, and many letters were destroyed, orders and all; but M. de Lamartine hopes, we are told, soon to be able to re-establish matters.

The proprietor of St. Martin's Hall, Long Acre, has appeared at Bow Street Police Office, to answer a summons charging him with violating the Act 21 Geo. III. cap. 49, entitled "An Act for preventing certain Abuses and Profanations on the Lord's-day, called Sunday," by letting the hall for the purpose of lectures. The so-called "Sunday Evenings for the People" consisted of discourses on literary, historical, and other subjeets, interspersed with sacred music. After discussion, the magistrate advised the taking of civil proceedings, and counsel on both sides agreed to prepare a case for a higher Court. Meanwhile the summons was adjourned sine die, and the lectures go on as before.

Mr. Frank Seafield has produced an abridg. ment of his larger work on the "Literature and Curiosities of Dreams," and, under the title of "Extraordinary Dreams," has given us a singularly curious and amusing brochure, full of strange accounts of dreams, ancient and modern, an entertaining selection of remarkable dreams, and a sort of dictionary of dreams, by reference to which all persons may interpret for themselves those sleeping thoughts, the philosophy of which has puzzled the wise and learned of all ages. It must be understood that this is not a catchpenny book, intended to mislead and delude ignorant readers, but a suggestive treatise, in which, while soberly relating the phenomena of dreams, the author puts forward no special theory of interpretation, and carefully avoids everything pertaining to charlatanry and deception. Taken for what it really is, an anecdotical history of dreams by an educated man, no more satisfactory shilling's worth has before been issued on this strange topic.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor of the BOOKSELLER. SIR,In the number of the BOOKSELLER for February, I observe an advertisement by Griffin and Co., of "The Literary Gazetteer and Atlas, or a complete Dictionary of Geography, by James Bryce and A. K. Johnston.'

Permit me to inform the public, through your journal, that in this case a most unwarrantable use has been made of my name; that I know nothing whatever of the book, never having been asked by author or publishers to contribute a line, far less to sanction its contents. Neither am I answerable for the maps, which do not, and never did, bear my name. The only Gazetteer or Geographical Dictionary with which I am connected is that published by the Messrs. Long

man.

Trusting that in justice you will insert this note in your next issue,

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

in the rooms formerly occupied by Albert Smith in the Egyptian Hall, Piccadily. He soon became popular; and by his quaint style of delivery and genial unaffected nature won many friends and admirers. From the publication of his pleasant little books, previous to his arrival, people were prepared to find his lectures full of fun and mimicry, more especially as he contributed several clever papers to Punch and other serials; they were equally surprised, therefore, when they discovered in Artemus Ward an entertainer at once original and irresistibly humorous. His last published contribution to our comic literature appeared in the "Savage Club Papers;" and it was by the members of the Savage Club that the arrangements for his funeral, which took place at Kensal Green Cemetery on the 9th inst., were carried out.

Gula Abbatum Monasterii Saniti Albani. A THOMA

LSINGHAM, compilata. Edited by C. H. T. BIL, MA. Vol. 1-A.D. 793-1290. Published by direction of the Master of the Rolls.-A better des of the manners, customs, and mode of thought hich characterized our medieval ancestors is to be obtained from the Chronicles left us by one of the great religious houses than from the narra tive of the most pieturesque modern historian. It is impossible for the latter to reproduce the age about which he is writing with that precision which amounts to verisimilitude. He can paint a landscape and dot it with figures; but the aerial perspective of the landscape is defective, and the figures produced are too often distorted. He cannot give the right tone to his pictures. On the contrary, upon opening one of the Chronicles, we at once feel ourselves amongst real men, living and moving in a real seene. It is one of the characteristics of the noble series of works issued in this series that, with very few exceptions, each of the Chronicles is edited by the man who, from his previous labours in the field of medieval literature, is presumed to be most com petent for the particular task assigned to him. The editor of Liber Albus," "Liber Custumarum," and other documents preserved in the archives of the Guildhall, has long since proved his ability to deal with such a Chronicle as that now before us, and the manner in which he has performed his present labour will undoubtedly confirm the reputation he has acquired by former works. The "Gesta Abbatum" commences with the foundation of the Abbey of St. Alban's by Offa, King of Mercia, and the nomination of Willegod to be first abbot, and ends with the closing years of Abbot Thomas de la Mare, who died A.D. 1396. Between these events we have a complete record of the doings of the inmates of the famous monastery. We hear of the frugal management of one abbot, of the squandering propensities of another; we are admitted into fellowship with the brethren, and hear their disputes; we are present at their petty conspiracies, and are spectators of the success or failure of their schemes. The contests for supremacy over other houses; the various diplomatic schemes employed by the partisans of rival claimants for the abbacy; the labours and amusements of the monks, and their disposition and behaviour under the circumstances incident to their position, are all minutely recorded, and sometimes with a particularity which makes the volume quite pleasant reading.

[ocr errors]

The "Gesta" is divided by Mr. Riley into three sections. The first (compiled by Matthew Paris) embraces the period from the foundation of the Abbey to 1255; the second, by an anonymous hand, ends with the death of the twenty-sixth abbot, in March,

and the third, compiled, Mr. Riley thinks, by Walsingham, brings us to the end of the work. The present volume, however, contains only the first two section; the third, and most valuable portion being retained for the concluding volume. For this, also, Mr. Edey reserves his detailed review of the period over which the Chronicle extends. What we have be fores is quite enough to command our respect for the re-taking pains bestowed by the editor upon the

work.

The Apocryphal Gospels, and other documents relating to the History of Christ. Translated from the originals Greek, Latin, Syriac, &c., with Notes, Scriptural References, and Prolegomena. By B. HARRIS COWPEK, Editor of the "Journal of Sacred Literature." 12mo. Pp. 456. (Williams and Norgate.)-A long-admitted want" is supplied, and well supplied, in this impor tant volume. It is not necessary to inform our readers that what are called the "Apocryphal Gospels Consist of spurious accounts of the youth and career of Christ, that they pretend to supplement or develope the vntings of the New Testament, and that they are all of more recent date than any of the canonical books. The materials are drawn trom the Scriptures, from various mystical and legendary stories, and from the imaginations of their authors. They possess no fort of historical or doctrinal authority; and as Bishop Ellicott observes in the "Cambridge Essays" for 1856, their real demerits, their coarseness, the bar. barities of their style, and the inconsequences of their

con

narratives, have never been excused or condoned." But in a literary point of view they are not without importance, as they reveal the origin of many mediæval superstitions, show us the sources whence have been derived several of the "histories" tained in the "service books" of the Romish Church, and point to the legends adopted by the old paintersas, for instance, the worship of the infant Jesus in his cradle in the manger, by the ox and the ass, an inci. dent nowhere mentioned in the New Testament. "I hardly think," observes Mr. Cowper," that any of the false gospels can be ascribed to the simple intention to weave into one consecutive narrative the traditions which were actually known to the writers.... The Jews have a form of literature called Agada, or Hagadah, which are defined as historical pieces like those which poets sometimes feign and frame. arrived at the conclusion that the Christian Apocrypha are often simply Christian Hagadoth. Hagadah is written for instruction, and not amusement merely, and so the Christian compositions generally have a didactic element underlying the narrative, or intercolated with it."

The

The history, tendency, and uses of the Apocryphal Gospels have from time to time engaged the attention of the learned. The French have two works of authority on the subject-Les Evangiles Apocryphes, with notes by Gustave Brunet (1863), and Etudes sur Evangiles Apocryphes, a portly volume, by Michel Nicolas; the Germans have several works on the same topic, the last of which, De Evangeliorum Apocryphorum Origine et Usu, by Dr. Tischendorf, forms, indeed, the basis of Mr. Cowper's work. Hone's "Apocrpyhal New Testament," is the work by which these writings are best known in England, but it is a work of a very unsatisfactory character, it is a worthless compilation, entitled the "Apocryphal New Testament: being all the Gospels, Epistles, and other pieces now extant, attributed in the first four centuries to Jesus Christ, His Apostles, and their Companions, and not included in the New Testament by its Compilers." It was published in 1820, and has been many times reprinted with all its errors and absurdities. "Hone," says Mr. Cowper, "much regretted publishing this book when he came to a better mind, but it was beyond his power to recall it, or it would have been suppressed. What he did in preparing it was to select some of the translations of Jones, and attach to them the version of the Apostolical Fathers, by Wake: all these he cut up into chapters and verses, prefixing headings to the chapters, to make them look like ordinary editions of the New Testament. His introductions and notes are borrowed (without acknowledgement, in great part) from the same sources as his text, and hashed up to suit his purpose. It is a standing reproach to our literature that this heterogeneous jumble should have remained alone, and no effort made to give the people the means of correcting its misrepresentations. Only think of the Apostolical Fathers figuring as an Apocryphal New Testament!". Another and more mischievous publication arose cut of Hone's book. It is a reprint, with additions and omissions, from Hone, and is called the "Suppressed Gospels;" but it is a thorough imposture, produced for the worst of purposes. These miserable compilations are now, however, superseded by the volume before us, which contains the so-called Gospels of James, PseudoMatthew, Nicodemus, the "History of Joseph the Carpenter," the "Nativity of Mary," the "Acts of Pilate," and other smaller pieces, produced during the third, fourth, and succeeding centuries. Now, for the first time, the English reader is provided with a work which can honestly pretend to be anything like a complete collection of the false gospels. Prefaced to the writings themselves is an elaborate and very satisfactory introduction, giving the history of the several books, and detailing the real or assumed theory of their productions; while to each gospel or chapter is added an account of as much as is known of its writer, and the sources whence his particular narrative was derived. Mr. Cowper has given to the English reader a most interesting and valuable book.
