Ar a recent sale of autographs in London, the following treasures were disposed of: The original MS. of Johnson's Life of Pope, inlaid in folio aud illustrated with portraits, &c.; original MSS. of Evelyn's Life of Mrs. Godolphin and Odes of Horace; Byron's original MS. of Lines to Thyrza and others of the Occasional Poems; a collection of autograph letters by, and connected with, Lord Nelson, illustrated with portraits and plates, in 1 vol. folio, morocco extra; letters and MSS. of Burns, illustrated and bound in like manner; letters and MS. music of Tom Moore, illustrated with Maclise's original Drawings to the Irish Melodies, in 1 vol. folio, morocco extra, and MS. music of Moore's National

AT a recent sale of antographs in London, five lines written by Michael Angelo brought $75; a letter from John Calvin, $55; Charles I. to the Marquis of Ormond, $400; Oliver Cromwell to his son Richard, $200; John Dryden to Sir Robert Long, $130; Charles Edward Stuart, the Pretender, to Lady Webb, $63; Martin Luther, in German, $130; Francis Rabelais, in Greek and Latin, $250; Sir Walter Raleigh, from the Tower, $450; Dean Swift to Ambrose Phillips, $155; John Wesley to Mr. Collins, $85.

THE rage for illustrating popular works continues unabated. There were lately sold by auction, in

Melodies, in 1 vol. oblong 4to. Also, a collection London, an edition of Byron's Works with the Life comprising royal letters from the date of Henry by Moore, expanded to twenty-six volumes quarto Vill. to the present time, including those of Henry by nearly 5000 engravings; the "Hours of IdleVill., Queen Elizabeth, James I. and Anne of Den-ness" and "English Bards," in three volumes folio; mark, Prince Henry, Frederick and Elizabeth of Butler's "Hudibras" and Remains, extended to seven Bohemia, Charles I., Oliver Cromwell, James II., William and Mary, and Queen Anne; with contemporary statesmen, Sir Walter Raleigh, Earl of Essex, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Lord Bacon, Strafford, &c. ; celebrated reformers, Luther, Calvin, Melanethon, Erasmus, &c. ; French royal and noble personages from the time of Henry IV.; and Sir Walter Raleigh's Poems, with an autograph letter, and Pope's Essay on Man, with his autograph corrections.

MR. R. BELGRAVE HOPPNER, who was consulgeneral at Venice during Lord Byron's residence in that Ocean-Rome, has published a letter in the "Athenæum" in reply to Madame Guiccioli's recent book in which he denies that he was acquainted with her, though he saw her; declares his belief that Byron most probably went to Greece in 1823 to get rid of the lady; and states that the mother of little Allegra Byron was "a young English girl, a kind of connection of Mrs. Shelley, whom he met at Geneva." It would appear from Mr. Hoppner's tone that he was out of temper when he wrote this letter.

YET another volume upon Shakspeare! Mr. B. B. Orridge is said to be preparing for publication, "The City Friends of Shakspeare; with some Account of John adler and Richard Quiney, Druggists and Grocers, of Bucklersbury, and their De

THERE has been printed, for private distribution only, Castelvines y Moutesse: Tragi-Comedia," by Lope de Vega, the Spanish dramatist, who was W. Cozens, an English gentleman. It is founded contemporary with Shakspeare, translated by F. on the same Italian story which was used in the In the construction of our "Romeo and Juliet." Spanish play, Roselo, the hero, marries Julia, the heroine, and all ends happily.

MR. PETER CUNNINGHAM, son of Allan Cunningham, the poet, who was the "managing man" of Sir Francis Chantrey, the sculptor, for many years, is among the recently deceased. He was fifty-four years old; had edited the works of Oliver Goldsmith and Horace Walpole, but was best known by his excellent "Hand-Book of London," which is very well executed, and has had a large sale.

"STERN NECESSITY," by Frederick W. Robertson, author of "Mattie, a Stray," is to commence, as a serial novel, in "Belgravia" for July..

In Halliwell's "Life of William Shakspeare" are letters from Richard Quiney, who resided "at the Belie in Carter Layne," London, about borrowing money, and in 1598 the poet actually lent him thirty pounds, which is equivalent to £120 at the present time.

Is "Colburn's New Monthly Magazine" for June -the oldest but one of the English monthlies, and successively edited by Thomas Campbell, Theodore Hook, Thomas Hood, and W. H. Ainsworth-is a second paper on Lord Byron, entitled "Some Recollections connected with his Name." The first article took part with the great poet, as one more sinned against than sinning. In "Temple Bar" is a paper entitled "Lord Byron's Married Life."

"CHRISTIAN OSBORNE'S FRIENDS," by Mrs. Harriet Davidson (daughter of Hugh Miller, the geologist), is a story Lighly commended by some of the English critics. The "Athenæum" says: "Modestly and easily written, abounding in pleasant touches of feeling and description, it takes hold of us from the first, and keeps us to the end."

NEW editions of the writings of Charles Lamb and William Hazlitt appear to have been very successful in London.

THE profits of Queen Victoria's "Early Years of His Royal Highness the Prince Consort," amounting to $12,500, have been applied to the establishment of school and college bursaries for the benefit of well-deserving scholars, in the district around Balmoral, her Scottish residence.

THE "Athenæum," which lately stated that "The Spacious Firmament on High" was written, not by Joseph Addison, but Andrew Marvel, repeats the assertion, and proves its truth. Addison did but quote the then unpublished but now popular hymn.

MR. E. DEUTSCH, of the British Museum, author of that article on "The Talmud" in the " Quarterly Review" which attracted great attention last year, was sent to examine the explorations in Jerusalem, and, the "Athenæum" says, "has returned to London from his Eastern journey, not only richer, generally, in knowledge of Semitic countries, but with curious additions to the special knowledge of scholars in Semitic antiquities. Mr. Deutsch has deciphered the inscriptions on the great stones' of the Temple platform, and finds them to be Phonician masons' marks. Thus, we have an end of all doubts as to the original builders of that side of the Temple wall. They were of the ae of Solomon, and probably the craftsmen of Hiram, King of Tyre. Mr Deutsch has also recovered the lost letters of the Maccabean Hebrew alphabet. Two such finds' rarely fall to the lot of a single traveller. It is understood that Mr. Deutsch will report on his discoveries to the Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund.”

OBITUARY.-LORD BROUGHTON, better known in literature as Sir John Cam Hobhouse, died on the 3d of June in his eighty-third year. He was one of Lord Byron's earliest college friends, his companion in his first journey to the East, wrote the notes to and Historical Illustrations of the last canto of "Childe Harold," and was appointed one of his executors under the noble poet's last will and testament. In this capacity, he obtained an injunction from the Court of Chancery to prohibit the publication, in England, of his letters to Mrs. Byron (his mother) and to Mr. Dallas, and is believed to have prevented the publication of Byron's autobiography, the property of Thomas Moore. If, as is generally believed, there is a copy of that much-talked of and hastily suppressed work, perhaps it may yet appear, unless Lord Wentworth, Byron's grandson, should have the power and will to prevent it.

LAW.

BOOK NOTICES.

A Treatise on the Laws of Shipping and the Law and Practice of Admiralty. By Theophilus Parsons, 2 vols., pp. lxv., 647; xii., 931. Little, In this voluminous treatise two subjects, distinct yet mutually related, are fully treated by the author. The whole work is divided into two books, the first of which, extending through the first volume and one hundred and fifty pages of the second, treats of the Laws of Shipping, while the second book, extending through the remainder of the second volume, is devoted to the Law and Jurisdiction of Admiralty. The present volumes are really an expansion of the author's former treatise on Maritime Law. The writer says, in his preface, "I have Dot called this work a second edition of the former, as it is not only much enl rged, but its most important topics re-written, and it seemed to me more accurate to publish it as a new work." The substantial features and much of the matter of the

former work are accordingly retained, and the recent important decisions on the subject are incorporated. In its present shape the treatise is almost indispensable to a practitioner dealing with the matters either of doctrine or of practice to which it is devoted. We are not aware of any American publication which contains so large a body of recent and reliable law relating to the important topics here discussed.

The Statutes at Large of the United States of America Passed at the Third Session of the Fortieth Congress, 1868-69, and Treaties. Boston: Little,

Brown & Co.

This is the well-known authorized and official edition of the acts of Congress, and is, we believe, the only edition quoted or referred to by the Supreme Court of the United States. The acts are carefully collated and compared with the original rolls and the publication possesses all the accuracy which can characterize a work of this sort.

Concern.

The object of this small volume is to treat of the subject of Christian Perfection. The author claims that its doctrines are not only scriptural but Wesleyan, and that its mode of presenting and illustrating the subject is somewhat novel.

To
rows," "The Risen One," and "The King."
these is appended an address on "The Teaching of
Jesus Christ," delivered at the opening of the Salle
de la Réformation, at Geneva, in September, 1857.
There is a fervid and elevated piety in these dis-
courses which will render them irresistibly attractive
to the devout reader. The loving and tender nature
of Christ is unfolded with a charm and sweetness
which we have rarely seen. If, to adopt the quota-
tion of the translator, Jane Sturze, in her brief and
terse preface, “the secret of oratory lies not in say-
ing new things, but in saying things with a certain
power that moves the hearers," assuredly the author
occupies no mean rank as an eloquent teacher, so
well calcul ted is his work to kindle and keep alive
an enthusiastic and reverent admiration for the
character of the founder of our religion.

BIOGRAPHY AND HISTORY.

History of the American Revolution, with a Prelimi-
nary View of the Character and Principles of the
Colonists. By Samuel F. Wilson. pp. vi., 372.
Baltimore: Kelly, Piet & Co.

Mr. Wilson has evidently prepared his history after a large examination of the leading works in this department, but has not been satisfied with a mere mechanical compilation from these sources. His work is framed upon a plan somewhat original. Instead of narrating mere military transactions he has sought to present the civil, social, and political events and principles preceding and accompanying the Revolution, and of which it was the logical result. In this respect the work possesses a decided superiority over most of those of the same class, with which we are acquainted. It is, in merit, far above the large number of meagre and jejune school histories in current use, and it embodies many of the results contained in the more advanced and philosophical inquiries into the origin and development of American institutions.

The Villa on the Rhine. By Berthold Auerbach. pp. vii. 990. New York: Leypoldt & Holt.

The present volume completes this long story. It closes by transferring the scene to the new transAtlantic world, which will not make any abatement from its general interest for American readers, although the introduction of American politics is certainly out of place in a German domestic novel. We have that sort of thing ad nauseam in our own productions, and it is no relief to have it also imported from abroad. The publishers have issued the work in various styles adapted to the taste of buyers.

Mr. T. Adolphus Trollope seems to have made a special study of Italian fiction. Competent critics have pronounced his portraiture of life and manners to be accurate and faithful. Messrs. Peterson

the publishers. Immediately upon opening them

We have here two additional volumes of the recent 'Household Edition" of Thackeray's novels issued by Fields, Osgood & Co., Boston. In form and general appearance the edition resembles that of Charles Reade's novels by the same publishers. The pages are double columned, and the type though compact is quite legible. It is altogether a convenient and inexpensive form of these popular works, and will doubtless be highly acceptable to general readers.

Those who can read a book written in rather a dry, heavy style, upon a subject which many people think scarcely worth such elaborate treatment, may perhaps enjoy these lucubrations. The opponen's of the writer's arguments will, perchance, seek to draw from his preface some matter for observation on the score of inconsis ency.
