TRÜBNER'S American and Oriental Literary Record. 1873, March 25. Suvserif. tion Fund. 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, Australian. 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. As 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. THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.-The January number of this well-known quarterly will not suffer in comparison with its predecessors. In the first article Mr. H. B. Adams gives some interesting facts relating to Captain John Smith, whose True Relation of Virginia is one of the historical classics of America, and whose association with Pocahontas is a world-wide story. Mr. Adams shows pretty conclusively that Captain John Smith was somewhat of a braggart, and that there is every reason to question the truth of his story respecting King Powhatan's daughter. Prof. Whitney writes ably on Languages and Dialects; he objects to the theory of Professor Max Müller, M. Renan, and others, that "there were dialects before there was a language," and lays down certain principles which he considers essential to the successful prosecution of our inquiries into the history and relations of languages. Mr. James Parton has a capital biographical and historical paper on Daniel Webster, in which he sketches his whole character with wonderful power. Allowing for all the good qualities, the eloquence, the fascinating manner, the joyous and affectionate nature of Webster, Mr. Parton yet considers him to have been one of the weakest of men-of admirable genius and deplorable character, seemingly without conscience, without religion, unlesss that could be called religion which "made him go to church, talk piously, puff the clergy, and patronize Providence." Sir S. Baker, Captain Speke, and Mr. C. T. Beke's Works are well summarized by Professor D. C. Gilman in his paper on "The Sources of the Nile." Mr. C. Eliot Norton briefly discusses the wonderful work of the United States Sanitary Commission. Much out-of-the-way knowledge is displayed by Professor E. P. Evans in his communication on The Office and Influence of Clothes; he shows how sadly woman has been misrepresented in being considered alone in her love of finery, and, in an amusing way, points out how man has kept pace with her in the love of show in articles of dress. Governor Winthrop in New England is the subject of a good solid article by Mr. C. C. Smith; and Mr. E. L. Godkin defends the Vox Populi Vox Dei theory in his contribution on The Tyranny of the Majority. Among the "Critical Notices" will be found reviews of Bancroft's History of the United States, vol. 9; Greeley's American Conflict, vol. 2; Partridge on the American Nation and on Democracy; Peto on Taxation; Baker's Albert Nyanza; Holmes on the Authorship of Shakspere; Swinburn's Laus Veneris; Proctor's Life of Charles Lamb, etc., etc. A Dictionary of Books relating to America from its Discovery to the Present Time. By Joseph Sabin. The first part of this important work has just appeared, and promises to be a most comprehensive and valuable addition to our stores of Bibliography. HENRY C. CAREY.-Harper's Weckly Journal of the 5th of January contains a capital Portrait of this well-known Political Economist, with a brief sketch of his life. LITERARY NOTES FROM VENEZUELA.-We have lost in this year four distinguished writers. Fermin Toso, the author of Europa y America, and many other minor publications, died in June. He was a most accomplished classical scholar, a clever man in political affairs, and an active student of the Flora of his country. Juan Vincente Gonzalez died the 8th of October. He was a kind of polyhistor of immense reading, and of a very fluent style. In consequence of this he got the nickname tragalibros, or the book-swallower. With all his literary accomplishments he was utterly bare of character, and his external appearance was more than careless. The 20th of the same month died Esteban Ponte, a young man who had chosen political economy for his pet. His numerous articles in our public papers are distinguished by acuteness of thought and a very pure and correct style. In July died, in New York, Dr. Marco A. Rojas, author of El Reino animal. -General José Felix Blanco intends to publish a large work under the title "Documentos para la historia de la vida pública del Libertador de Colombia, Perú y Bolivia, por su órden Cronolójico y con adiciones y notas que la ilustran." The work has met with the promises of some subvention from the government; it will be printed in the United States, in 25 volumes, LAW BOOKS.-Messrs. Hurd and Houghton, of New York, have nearly ready for publication a volume on "The Law of Common Carriers," by Dr. J. F. Redfield; and another work by the same author on "The Law of Corporations;" also "Principles of the Law of Contracts, with examples of their application," by Theron Metcalf, late Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. THE Universalists of New England, in addition to their ably-conducted Quarterly, issue a weekly paper, The Universalist; a monthly, The Ladies Repository; and a semimonthly for Sunday schools, bearing the title of The Myrtle. At Cincinnati, Ohio, the Universalists also issue a weekly family paper, The Star in the West. JOHN POOLE'S Travestie of Hamlet, with Burlesque Annotations, first published in 1811, has just been reprinted at New York, for private distribution. It forms a royal 8vo. of about 130 pages, and is printed on tinted laid paper. The edition consists of 100 copies only, and the expenses have been paid by four well-known gentlemen in New York.

Third Edition. 12mo. cloth, pp. viii. and 223, Philadelphia, Ennis.-The Origin of the Stars and the Causes A novel of real merit, containing many striking sketches of char acter, and much originality in plot and incident, but marred from beginning to end by a parade of learning, and a stilted style, altogether at variance with the scenes described; here, for instance, is a rhapsody originating in a description of a blacksmith's daughter in search of a cow :-"In the grand, peaceful, solemn woods, through which the wintry wind now sighed in a soothing monotone, the child's spirit reached an exaltation which, had she lived 2000 years earlier, and roamed amid the vales and fastnesses of classic Arcadia, would have vented itself in dithyrambics to the great Lord of the Hyle,' the Greek All the horned and hoofed God Pan. In every age and among all people-from the Parsee devotees and the Gosains of India, to the Pantheism of Bruno, Spinoza, and New England's 'Illuminati' -nature has been apotheosized; and the heart of the blacksmith's untutored darling, stirred with the same emotions of awe and adoration which thrilled the worshippers of Hertha, when the vailed chariot stood in Helgeland, and which made the groves and grottoes of Phrygia sacred to Dindymene," etc. Miss Evans' work needs pruning, and we regret in reading it that the author has not had the advantage of a cynical critic, like St. Elmo, or her heroine's friend Mr. Manning, to read her MS. before sending it to the press.
