AMERICAN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE. GAIL HAMILTON, whose terse, vigorous writing and maseuline way of thinking led a reviewer in the Athenæum not long since to speak of her with a masculine prefix is really a Miss Abigail Dodge, a resident in the quiet town of Hamilton, Massachusetts-quite a heroine in her neighbourhood, and we have no doubt an earnest, sincere, and devoted woman. She has made for herself quite a name in American Periodical Literature, as nearly half a dozen books testify. Her latest contribution appears in the last number of the Atlantic Monthly, under the title of "A Prose Henriade," really a paper, written with remarkable freshness and vigour, upon Hens. Why do ladies persist in adopting fanciful titles? "A Paper on Hens or Chickens" would have been an infinitely more attractive prefix, and would really have told its own tale, whilst that given may be turned by wicked wits, with very little alteration, into one by no means flattering to the author. It is astonishing how anxious many authors are to mystify the public as to their writings, by the adoption of far-fetched combinations which really give no idea as to the meaning of their effusions. A title, to our thinking, should be a plain, straightforward explanation of the subject of the volume. Of course there may be instances where prudence requires some slight modification. We remember when the London Review was in embryo, difficulties arose in consequence of there being a Quarterly Review bearing the same name. The projectors were advised to call the new bantling the London Weekly Review; but one of our most distinguished travellers, who was associated in the undertaking, quietly suggested that there was a capability of a bad pun in the word Weekly which might be used to damage the forthcoming journal, and hence this title was tabooed. Gail Hamilton's latest book, Skirmishes and Sketches, consists of a collection of papers on various subjects. Here is one under the title, "Pictor Ignotus," a warm-hearted, thoroughly appreciative essay on Poor Blake, the artist. "When William Blake," she writes, "flashed across the path of English polite society, society was confounded; it had never had to do with such an apparition before, and was at its wits' end. But some Daniel was found wise enough to come to judgment and pronounce the poet-painter mad; whereupon society at once composed itself and went on its way rejoicing." Another essay, bearing the name "The New School of Biography," is a very smart criticism on the mushroom biographical literature of the war. "We are thrilled to-day," she says, "with the telegram announcing the brilliant and successful charge made by General Smith's command, and according to that inevitable law of succession by which the sun his daily round of duty runs we shall be thrilled to-morrow with the startling announcement that General Smith was born in -" etc. etc. With a keenly satirical pen she dissects the whole of this biographising brood. Her work entitled A New Atmosphere is the least agreeable of all her books. She fancies she has found a grievance, and she nurses it with a vengeance. The status of woman she considers most unsatisfactory, the marriage system which prevails equally so, and she forthwith denounces both one and the other. We agree with her that there is, and always has been, a great deficiency in the education of woman with regard to marriage. It is a serious question for society to consider, in how many marriages the wives are fitted to perform the duties of the married state. It becomes a subject worth enquiring into, whether there ought not to be some systematic training with marriage as the end in view; but to denounce marriage because so many are unfit to fulfil its duties is alike illogical and unwise. Her other works are entitled Stumbling Blocks, Gala Days, and Country Living and Country Thinking. PRESIDENT LINCOLN.-In addition to the numerous Lives, Sketches, Poems, etc., which have been issued to meet the demand for information as to President Lincoln which his untimely death has created, we are glad to observe that there is a promise of something more substantial and more worthy of the man and of the country he governed. It is with pleasure we note that Mr. Robert Dale Owen, author of that well-written and able book, Footfalls on the Boundary of another World, and more recently of a book not yet sufficiently appreciated, The Wrongs of Slavery, is engaged upon a Life of the late President, which it is expected will form two 12mo. volumes of about 500 pages each, and be issued within two years by one of the largest publishers in Philadelphia. In addition to this, Mr. S. G. Holland, better known as "Timothy Titcomb," is also at work upon a smaller "Life," while the Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, of Illinois, is preparing a History of Mr. Lincoln's Administration. In England we have had numerous newspaper articles upon the late President, sermons and addresses on his death, and a biography by Mr. Bacon. This last, however, has been too hastily prepared to be of permanent value, but still it is one which will for a time satisfy the public demand. In France we notice a publication by Achille Arnaud, Abraham Lincoln, sa naissance, sa vie, sa mort: avec une recit de la guerre; the first part of a Biography, by Alexander D'Englehem; and also a Life by Lesperut. In Germany, as yet, we have no formal biography, but the national admiration for Mr. Lincoln is sure to be met very shortly by a full and suitable biography. RALPH WALDO EMERSON is, we believe, engaged in editing a volume of Henry D. Thoreau's Letters, which cannot fail to be well worth reading. The American Monthly for June has a brief paper upon Emerson, which certainly exceeds in Americanism anything we have ever read, Here is a specimen:-"Ralph Waldo is death and an entire stud of pale horses on flowery expressions and japonica-downish flubdubs. He has a penchant as strong as cheap boarding-house butter for mystification," etc., etc. We thought this style of thing was obsolete, DENTAL LITERATURE.-Professor Harris' Dictionary of Dental Surgery, which has for some time been out of print, will very shortly be issued, thoroughly revised and brought up to the present time. An Eighth Edition of his Principles and Practice of Dental Surgery is now ready. In Dental Literature, America has produced some first-rate works. Among others we may name:- -Taft on Operative Dentistry, Richardson's Mechanical Dentistry, Fox and Harris on the Human Teeth, Pigott's Dental Chemistry and Metallurgy, Bond on Dental Medicine, Robertson on Extracting Teeth, etc., etc. MRS. E. T. PORTER BEACH, author of Pelayo an Epic Poem of the Olden Moorish Time, is said to have received from the Queen of Spain a gift of a massive gold bracelet, adorned with a crown of diamonds, a large pearl, and a superb oriental topaz, bearing the cipher of the Queen. It was accompanied by a letter acknowledging Her Majesty's pleasure at the receipt of the poem. THE NEW YORK MEDICAL JOURNAL is a new venture in literature, and promises to be a decided success. It will be published monthly. In the long list of collaborators we recognise the names of the most distinguished physicians and surgeons in the States. Drs. Bowditch, Bumstead, Da Costa, Dalton, Draper, Flint, Gross Hamilton, Hammond, Harris, Weir Mitchell, Morehouse, Storer, Thomas, Van Buren, and a host of others. We refer our readers to our synopsis of the contents of American Periodicals for the programme of the first two numbers, which will show that the projectors aim to make it a first class medical periodical, which will be of service to practitioners in both the new and the old world. ORPHEUS C. KERR, whose "Papers" are among the wittiest and cleverest productions the war has brought forth, has a third series in the press. "OUR NEIGHBOUR" is the title of a new "Critical and Refined National Weekly Newspaper," announced for speedy publication in New York. The projectors state that their single and controlling aim" will be to "purify and dignify American Life and Letters." In appearance it will resemble the London Spectator, and it is anticipated that its success will be such as to completely refute the taunt of the Saturday Review that "America cannot support one first-class weekly." PROFESSOR BYFORD, of the Chicago Medical College, author of a valuable work on the Uterus, has now in the press a work on the Medical and Surgical Treatment of the Diseases of Females, with illustrations. It will form an 8vo. of about 600 pages. THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, for the Farm, Garden, and Household, is the title of one of the most useful and practical agricultural papers we have ever seen. It is published at New York, and has now a monthly circulation of over one hundred thousand copies. It consists of brief but well-condensed articles on subjects connected with farming, gardening, household economy, etc., and is just the periodical which we can fancy farmers will anxiously look for every month and treasure when they have it. THE AMERICAN BIBLE UNION in their latest report thus summarize the result of their labours since the formation of their Society-I. A Spanish version of the New Testament, unequalled in purity and elegance.-II. An Italian version, faithful and idiomatic.-III. A MS. revision of a large part of the German Testament.-IV. Similar and more extended preparations for the French New Testament.-V. A part of the English Old Testament revised and far more in forwardness, and the accumulated work of the ripest and best Biblical translator of the age upon every other part.-VI. The whole English New Testament revised and re-revised. Just published. This revision, however, is not to be understood as permanently finished, but is still open to correction. GEOLOGY OF ILLINOIS.--The Legislature of the State of Illinois has recently voted 20,000 dollars for the publication of 3,000 copies of the Geological Report of Illinois, made by Mr. A. H. Worthen. This report promises to be a very valuable contribution to science. The State of Illinois is rich in fossil shells, fishes, and crustaceans of the carboniferous age, and Mr. Worthen and his colleagues, Messrs. F. B. Meek and L. Lesquereux, are fully competent to do justice to the subject. PROFESSOR SILLIMAN'S LIFE will shortly be published. We look for this biography with much interest. Professor Silliman's career is so identified with the History of Science in the United States that a biography of him cannot fail to contribute largely to our knowledge of the progress and development of science and the arts. We may also anticipate many pleasing personal reminiscences. The Professor was thrown in contact with all the leading scientific men of his day-his nature was genial, his disposition friendly, and he counted among his intimate friends all the literati of his time. COMPANION POETS FOR THE PEOPLE.-Under this title Messrs. Ticknor and Fields are issuing a very choice series of illustrated works, at 2s. 6d. per volume. It will contain popular selections from the leading American and English Poets. Each volume will consist of about 100 pages, with from twelve to twenty illustrations, printed on tinted paper. Two volumes are issued-the first contains "Household Poems," by H. W. Longfellow, with illustrations by John Gilbert, Birket Foster, and John Absolon. The second is entitled "Songs for all Seasons," by Alfred Tennyson, with illustrations by Maclise, Creswick, Eytinge, C. A. Barry, and others. These are to be followed by National Lyrics," by John G. Whittier, "Lyrics of Life," by Robert Browning, and "Humorous Poems," by Oliver Wendell Holmes. 46 AMERICAN ARCHEOLOGY.-We are informed by M. Malte Brun that the Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, whom the French government had sent to Yucatan, has been prevented pursuing his labours in that State in consequence of difficulties thrown in his way by the authorities; and that in consequence he repaired to Guatemala, where it is supposed he is at this moment.-The publication has been commenced at Madrid of a periodical work entitled "Coleccion de Documentos ineditos sobre el descubrimiento, conquista y Colonizacion de las Posesiones Españolas de Ultramar, sacados Del Real Archivo de Indias." The editor is Don Luis Torres de Mendoza, and it is proposed to issue two volumes annually. The announced collection of documents was by Royal order, of the 4th December, 1862, declared to be of public utility (utilitad publica).-F. Javier de Salar, a lieutenant in the Royal Spanish Navy, commenced the publication of a History of the Spanish Marine in the Middle Ages, under the title of "Marina Española de la Edad Media." Bosqueso historico de jus principales sucesos en relacion con la historia de las Coronas de Aragon y de Castilla. The complete work will consist of two volumes, 8vo. THE SECRET SERVICE, THE FIELD, THE DUNGEON, AND THE ESCAPE. Under this sensation title Mr. Albert D. Richardson, correspondent of the New York Tribune, proposes to publish a narrative of his four years' experience of the war. At the outbreak he seems to have travelled through the South in the secret service of the Tribune. After two years with the army, he had twenty months' imprisonment in seven different rebel prisons, from the last of which he made his escape, aided by Negroes and Union men in North Carolina and Tennessee. The volume, it is said, will be full of romantic incidents. THE HON. J. T. HEADLEY has in the press a History of the Civil War in the United States, which will be splendidly illustrated with steel engravings. It will form two royal 8vo. volumes of from 500 to 700 pages each. HISTORY OF MUSIC OF NORTH AMERICA.-M. Jul. Schubert, of New York, proposes to write the History of the Music of North America, and seeks the co-operation of singing associations, conservatories, boarding schools, etc., of the United States; from whom he requires a statement of their history, members, founders, etc.; the names of the principal of every school in the United States where music is taught, together with the names of the teachers of music in its different branches. We confess we cannot augur much from such a combination. A really good history of music in the United States seems to us a desideratum, but it must be compiled without reference to schools and colleges, and have in view solely the general progress of the art, not its particular development in special schools, else it will lapse into a huge puff of existing musical establishments. New Books in the Press. Thoughts that will Live; being memorable Sentences from the Addresses, Speeches, and other Writings of Abraham Lincoln. The Life of Horace Mann, with Extracts from his Journals The Verdict of Reason on the Question of the Future Punishment of the Impenitent. By Rev. Henry M. Dexter. Cyclopædia of the Rebellion from its commencement to its close. Grant and his Campaigns. By Prof. Coppée. Sherman and his Campaigns. By Col. Bowman. IN MEMORIAM. PLINY MILES, the indefatigable advocate of cheap postage, died recently at Malta. He was born in New York, was for some time a schoolmaster, contributed largely to American Newspapers and Magazines, and ultimately became more widely known as a traveller. In 1854 he published an interesting volume of "Rambles in Iceland." GEORGE H. EMERSON, a young chemist of great promise, author of a memoir "On Crystals and Precipitates in Blowpipe Beads," died recently at Greenfield, Mass., after a long illness, at the early age of 27. His researches promised to contribute much to the progress of the science of Blowpipe Analysis, but he was compelled to discontinue them by his failing health. AMERICAN PERIODICALS.
