PROPOSED ALTERATION IN THE AMERICAN TARIFF.The House of Representatives recently passed a Bill having for its object the increase and alteration of duties on Goods imported into the United States. One section has special interest to all interested in the progress of literature. present, as our readers are probably aware, all English and Foreign books imported into the States are subject to a duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem, payable in Gold; notwithstanding this heavy tax there has been, for many months past, a very considerable and increasing demand for English Printed Books, indeed, we know of one instance in which 2000 copies of a recently-published expensive English work were purchased for the American market alone, and this is only one of numerous instances of English books purchased in large quantities. If duties be levied, as we are told, solely for the purpose of revenue, we should have fancied that a growing trade of this kind should be encouraged, seeing that it has been adding largely to the finances of the government, and promised to be still more productive. Such, however, is not the opinion of the majority of the House of Representatives, who considered it desirable to pass a measure which must be actually prohibitory to the importation of books, if ever carried into effect. The clause to which we refer is as follows: "SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, that, in lieu of the duties imposed by law on the importation of the articles hereinafter mentioned, there shall be levied, collected, and paid the following duties and rates of duty, that is to say: On books and engravings, being editions printed not less than 30 years

prior to the date of importation, and on books wholly in foreign languages printed not less than 15 years prior to the date of importation, 20 per centum ad valorem. On all books reprinted from books first printed in the United States, 30 cents per pound, and in addition 25 per centum ad valorem; on all other books not herein provided for, and on pamphlets, magazines, illustrated papers, periodicals, and printed paper, bound or unbound, 20 cents per pound, and in addition thereto 25 per centum ad valorem, provided that nothing herein shall be held to include newspapers or other printed matter lawfully transmitted by mail; on maps and charts, not otherwise herein provided for, 35 per centum ad valorem; on paper hangings and paper screens and fire boards, four cents per pound, and in addition thereto 35 per centum ad valorem; on paper, fancy colored, colored for labels and wrappers, marbled, stained, glazed, or enamelled, and card paper, 6 cents per pound, and in addition thereto 35 per centum ad valorem.". -As may be readily conceived this clause is aimed mainly at cheap literature, for the cheaper the book the heavier the weight and consequently the higher the rate of duty. For instance: a shilling novel weighs about three quarters of a pound, supposing it to be invoiced to the purchaser at one shilling, the 25 per cent. duty would add 3d. and 20 cents per pound would add 74d. to its cost; but even supposing for the purposes of importation the book were invoiced at half price this would diminish the 25 per cent. duty to 1d. while the other duty would remain at 7 d.; thus, a novel published at one shilling, charged at the lowest

possible rate by the English publisher here, would cost the American bookseller who imported it as follows: 6d. + 14d. +74d. + expenses of importation and difference in exchange equivalent to about 4d., the actual cost therefore would be about 18. 7d., and it would be next to impossible for it to be supplied to the American public for less than 2s. 6d. or 3s. We are much mistaken in the American character if such a glaring case as this be allowed to become part of the law of the United States. The Senate has postponed the consideration of this bill, and we trust this is equivalent to rejection.

LEGAL LITERATURE.-Messrs. Little, Brown, and Co., of Boston, will commence in the autumn the publication of a new Law Magazine. This firm has now probably the largest law publishing connexion in the United States, and is yearly adding to its valuable collection of law books. It announces new editions of Wheaton's Elements of International Law, edited by R. H. Dana; of Hilliard's Law of Torts; of Greenleaf on the Law of Evidence, edited by J. F. Redfield; of Angell on the Common Law relating to Watercourses, edited by J. C. Perkins; of Curtis on the Law of Patents; and other important works.-Messrs. Baker, Voorhis, and Co., are also publishers of some of the most valuable American legal text books: they announce, as in preparation, a treatise on the Law of Negligence, a subject which we believe has not before been separately handled. A Patentee's Manual, with the law, decisions, and directions on this subject. An account of the prize cases decided dur ing the rebellion by Justice Nelson and Judge Betts. A work on Slander and Libel by Mr. Townsend; and a fourth edition of Sedgwick on the Measure of Damages.-Messrs. Hurd & Houghton have the following law-books in the press : Redfield on the Law of Common Carriers; Redfield on the Law of Corporations; and Metcalf on the Law of Contracts.

SOUTHERN EDUCATION.-Messrs. Richardson & Co. of New York, announces for early publication a series of Educational works especially intended for Southern Schools and Universities, which will be distinguished as the Southern University Series. Dr. G. F. Holmes, Professor of History and General Literature in the University of Virginia, has edited a series of five Readers, an Elementary Spelling Book, and a School Speaker, in all of which Southern interests, Employment, Literature, and History are distinctly recognised and represented; all of which will appear this month, illustrated by Southern artists, and well printed. Dr. Holmes has also prepared for the same series-An Elementary English Grammar and a Chronological History of the United States of North America. Professor Schele de Vere, of the same University, has also ready a French Grammar, and two French Readers-one for beginners, the other for advanced students. Dr. B. L. Gildersleeve, Professor of Ancient Languages, will contribute to the Series a Latin Grammar and Latin Reader; and Professor C. S. Venable will supply four Arithmetical and three Mathematical Text Books. Southern Literature has not hitherto been well represented, and we are therefore glad to see these signs of Southern intellectual and literary activity.

ANTI-SLAVERY LITERATURE.-Among the earliest and most active opponents of Slavery was Dr. Bailey, a native of New Jersey. Educated as a physician, he served for a time as a common sailor, then practised at his profession, and finally settled down as an editor. As early as 1835 he was joint editor, and a year later, sole editor and proprietor of the Cincinnati Philanthropist. For twelve years he was most energetic in his denunciations of Slavery, and thrice during that period his presses were destroyed, and he was subjected to great violence by hostile mobs. In 1847 he became editor in chief of the National Era, published at Washington, having the Rev. Amos A. Phelps and John G. Whittier as corresponding editors. It was in this paper that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" first appeared. Dr. Bailey, being in correspondence with Mrs. Stowe, sent her in the early part of 1851 one hundred dollars, telling her for that sum she was to write as much as she pleased, what she pleased, and when she pleased. She proposed to write a story about "How a Man became a Thing." and ultimately changed the title of her contribution to Uncle Tom's Cabin;" the work appeared from week to week, and was completed in 1852, each issue being eagerly looked for by the subscribers. Dr. Bailey

generously presented Mrs. Stowe with a further sum of money in recognition of her services, though his paper had not received much pecuniary benefit from the publication. Mrs. Southworth, the novelist, was another of Dr. Bailey's literary protégés. Through misrepresentation and violence he continued to advocate the anti-Slavery cause with energy and ability. He did not, however, live to see the result of his advocacy, but died at sea on his way to Europe in 1859. We are glad to learn that a memoir of his life is in course of preparation.

THE HOME MONTHLY.-This is the title of a new maga zine which has just appeared at Nashville, Tenn., under the Editorship of Professor Stark and Rev. F. R. Hill. The first number contains an account of Miss Augusta J. Evans, the well known Southern Novelist.-An interesting article on the Salt and Petroleum of Louisiana, etc.

THE SILK-PRODUCING SPIDERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.Dr. B. G. Wilder discourses in a most interesting manner on the discovery, habits, and uses of these insects in the new (August) number of the Atlantic Monthly. His paper is entitled "How my new acquaintances spin,'

MR. D. G. ELLIOT, whose splendid work on the Tetraoninæ was only recently completed, has just ready the first part of a work on the Birds of North America, intended to comprise all the unfigured species, and thus form a supplement to Audubon's grand work. Each part will contain 5 plates, and only 200 copies are to be printed.

WORKS ON PRACTICAL GARDENING.- Messrs. Orange Judd & Co., of New York, the publishers of that best of all agricultural papers, the "American Agriculturist," announce the following useful works as in preparation :-Practical and Scientific Gardening. By W. N. White, of Athens, Ga., Editor of the "Southern Cultivator," etc.-The Small Fruit Culturist. By Andrew S. Fuller, Author of the "Grape Culturist," and the " Strawberry Culturist."-Market and Family Gardening. By a Practical Gardener of New Jersey. -A Book on Apples. By Dr. John A. Warder.

MR. HOLE'S useful little Biographical Dictionary bas just been republished in New York, with additions and corrections by William A. Wheeler, the compiler of that curious but valuable book, "Dictionary of the Noted Names of Fiction."

AUBREY DE VERE." May Carols." A volume of Poems by this well-known Catholic poet has been republished in New York. De Vere is less known as a poet than his merit deserves, and this arises probably from his chaste and classic style, which can only be popular with the most educated. Landor had a very high opinion of his merits.

MR. JAMES MARTINEAU'S contributions to periodical literature have been collected and published at Boston under the title of "Essays, Philosophical and Theological." The contents of the volume are as follows:-I. Comte's Life and

Philosophy.-II. John Stuart Mill.-III. Nature and God. —IV. Science, Nescience, and Faith.-V. Mansel's Limits of Religious Thought.- VI. Cerebral Psychology.— VII. Revelation-what it is not and what it is.-VIII. Personal Influences on our Present Theology. Newman, Coleridge, Carlyle. IX. Theology in its Relation to Progressive Knowledge.

THE UNITED STATES SERVICE MAGAZINE closes its issue with the June number, after a vigorous existence of two years and a half. The publisher considers that the close of the war ends the mission of the Magazine.

THE LOST TRIBES.-If we remember rightly more than one work has been written endeavouring to identify the Indians of North America with the lost tribes. Here is a fact which may or may not support the theory. At Newark, Licking County, Ohio, are certain Indian mounds, out of which some stones, bearing figures and Hebrew inscriptions, have recently been taken-the smallest has the figure of a human head cut off from the body so close that no portion of the neck is visible, with five Hebrew letters cut in the forehead; another bears figures of the human face and of animals in curious conjunction with an inscription also in Hebrew; a third is a wedge-shaped stone with four sides, each bearing an

inscription. The four incriptions have been thus translated: The King of the Earth, the Law of the Lord, the Word of the Lord, and the Holy of Holies. A fourth stone has a figure of Moses and the Ten Commandments engraved upon it. This remarkable stone was found enclosed in a stone box buried in a stratum of fire-clay. Some interesting details in reference to these remarkable discoveries will be found in the Occident for May and June, 1866.

PROFESSOR AGASSIZ and Mrs. Agassiz left Rio on the 2nd of July for New York. The Professor has received from the Emperor of Brazil the dignity of Knight of the Imperial Order of the Cross.

PRINTERS DEVILS have now it seems admirable allies in the shape of condensing reporters. Here are two sad cases in which the spirit of Puck seems to have entered both one and the other, to the disgust of many parties concerned. The death of Mr. James Humphrey, a Congress man, was recently "improved" by his colleague Mr. Darling, who concluded the narrative portion of his oration thus: 'Shortly after midnight he raised himself upon his pillow repeating the words I faint! I faint!' and, without a struggle or a groan, the gentle, manly spirit of James Humphrey was wafted into the presence of his Maker." Puck here extracted the comma, combined the two words "gentle" and "manly," and read gentlemanly spirit-rousing the laughter of critics and the anger of the original speaker.-The next case is somewat worse: A Clergyman at Boston is represented as thus extolling the virtues and actions of a deceased medical gentleman: "With him it was Christ and his kingdom first. believed in vegetable diet and lived thirty years without tasting meat. He believed in calomel and used it through life. And now he has gone to be at rest in the Lord."

He

CAPTAIN BURTON, who is now in Brazil, has made important discoveries, the effect of which will be so beneficial to the empire that we doubt not his name will be hereafter associated with its greatest benefactors. When crossing the country from St. Paul's to Rio his attention was directed to some pizarro or hard clay, in which he at once recognised the bituminous shale which overlays the true coal measures, and in which petroleum exists. Further search resulted in the discovery of limestone and ironstone, all lying within a spice of 8 miles. It would be impossible to overestimate the result of these discoveries, they augur a future of vast importance for Brazil. Captain Burton has also been delivering lectures before distinguished audiences-one on El Medinah, which he delivered in French at the Collegio de D. Pedro Segundo, is given in English in the Anglo-Brazilian Times on the 9th July last.

MEXICAN HISTORY.-We are informed by a friend at Mexico that, in conformity with an order of His Majesty the Emperor, the Diario del Imperio will publish an edition of the instructions which the Viceroys of Spain left to their successors. The announcement of this important publication has given great satisfaction to the students of Mexican History, who have hitherto only been able to obtain with great difficulty MS. copies of a few of the instructions. The Diario proposes to publish the instructions of the Viceroys which exist in the general archives, including some which the said Viceroys received from the Court. If we are correctly informed, only the following are preserved in the archives: Instruccion del Sr. conde de Revillagigedo (el primero) al Sr. marques de las Amarillas.- El conde de Revillagigedo al marques de las Amarillas, sobre el establecimiento del real de minas de Bolaños.-Instruccion al corregidor de dicho real.-Instruccion militar al mismo.-El conde de Revillagigedo al marques de las Amarillas. Ocurrencias del Nuevo Santander, y su pacificacion.-El mismo al mismo, sobre el Real de minas de Bolaños. - El mismo al mismo, sobre establecimiento del juzgado de bebidas prohibidas.-El mismo al mismo, sobre secularizacion de curatos.

-Instruccion general que trajo de la corte el marques de las Amarillas.-Instruccion particular del consejo al Sr. marques de las Amarillas.-Instruccion reservada del rey al marques de las Amarillas.-Noticias instructivas que por muerte de Sr. marques de las Amarillas, dió su secretario D. Jacinto Marfil al Sr. Cagigal de la Vega.-Instruccion del Sr. Cagigal al Sr. Cruillas.-Instruccion del Sr. Flores al Sr. conde de Revillagigedo (el segundo).—Instruccion del Sr. Branciforte al Sr. Azanza.-Documentos relativos à la misma. - Instruccion del Sr Marquina al Sr Iturrigaray.—Instruccion muy reservada, del mismo al mismo."-This last is one of the most interesting. There seems to be no doubt that copious and interesting as is this collection, it might be largely augmented, and we find that the well-known Mexican scholar, Sr. Don Joaquim Garcia Icazbalceta, has already addressed a letter to the editors, in which he points out the existence of two or three other pieces of a similar kind, which might with advantage be attached to the collection about to be published. The papers quoted by Sr. Icazbalceta are "Instruccion del Duque de Linares al marqués de Valero," which the Mexican historian, Alaman, has already made use of in one of his works-Instruccion del marqués de Mancera al Duque de Veraguas. This paper is printed in the 21st vol. of the "Collection de Documentos, inéditos para la Historia de España," pág 438, á 552. Instruccion del primer Virey D. Antonio de Mendoza à D. Luis de Velasco, published in the 26th volume of the Colleccion de Documentos inéditos. Instruccion del Segundo conde de Revillagigedo al marqués de Branciforte (of this a separate edition was printed in 1831). Besides the instructions, properly so called, there are some other papers which might figure among them. Señor Icazbalceta records the following as belonging to this class:-"Estado del reino de la Nueva España, à tiempo de entregar el baston al duque de la Conquista, dirigido al rey por el Illmo. Sr. Vizarron; printed at Mexico in 1740, in folio. Cited by Beristain.-Advertimientos sobre algunos puntos del gobierno de la Nueva-España, que el marques de Montes Claros envió á S. M. cuando dejó de ser virey de aquel reino; made at Acapulco, on the 2nd of August, 1607, and inserted in the 26th volume of the Coleccion de Documentos inéditos."

YUCATECAN IDEOGRAPHY.-We have several times had the pleasure to notice in the Record the extensive labours and publications of that distinguished traveller, the Abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg, and for whose forthcoming work on Mexico and Central America we are anxiously awaiting. We have now to notify to our readers that the Abbé has been enabled to procure from the French Government the Photographs of the 22 pages of the Maya MS., known as the MS. No. 2 de la Bib. Impl." for presentation to the British Museum. Thus the students of American Archaeology will now have the opportunity of examining this MS., as well as the excellent fac-simile of the Maya "Dresden Codex," by the Maya Hieroglyphic Alphabet discovered by the Abbé in Spain. We may mention that Mr. Bollaert has a paper on the Maya Alphabet (with drawings of same) in vol. ii. of Memoirs of the Anthropological Society; also that he sends two papers to the British Association this year, one, "Examination of Central American Hieroglyphs,"-those of Yucatan, including the Dresden Codex in the "Guatémalien" (No. 2 of the Bib. Impl.), the hieroglyphs of Palenqué, Copan, Nicaragua, Veraguas, and New Granada, by the Maya Alphabet; the other, "On Ancient Peruvian Records, including the recently-discovered Peruvian figurative writing "

DANISH LITERATURE.-We have received from Copen hagen the first number of a periodical devoted to Bibliography and Literary History under the title of: Aarsberetninger og Meddeldser fra Det Store Kongelige Bibliothek (Annual Report of the Royal Library). The editor is Christian Bruun, the Royal Librarian. The first part contains: The financial report, and the first portion of an interesting article on the Danish Literature from the introduction of the art of printing into Denmark until the year 1550. Mr. F. Hegel (Gyldendalske Boghandel) is the enterprising publisher of the above journal and also of another periodical: Danske Samlinger for Historie, Topographi, Personal- og Literaturhistories, the first part of which contains, among others, a first paper by the learned Chr. Bruun on Danish Bibliography.
