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, Mexician, Brazilian, 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. A MAGNETIC Though somewhat out of our province we readily oblige an old friend by the insertion of the following suggestion of a very formidable weapon of naval warfare : During the last few years all the Great Powers of the earth have been building, and are now constructing, at enormous expense, iron-built and iron-plated men-of-war, considered invulnerable. and ostensibly and professedly for the purposes of civilization, ie., for the stronger powers to dominate over and subjugate the weaker. A good illustration, of this has recently been seen in the assaults upon the unprotected towns on the Chilian and Peruvian coasts; and, as sea-port towns of the globe stand equally exposed to these invulnerable engines of war in diferent parts, the reading world will deem it but an act of justifiable philanthrophy in any one who will suggest an efficient mode of resisting such invasion, even with the extreme of cruelty and fatality. For this purpose, from the early days of my friend Col. Colt, torpedos of various constructions, and sufficiently destructive, have been made, but like the bell for the cat, they have failed in their mode of application. Now, as the means of helping the torpedo builders over this difficulty, I would suggest a magnetic torpedo-a torpedo carrying a magnet of sufficient power to attract it against the bottom of an iron vessel, and to be exploded by the concussion, forcing a needle into a detonating battery. The simplest experiments with a floating iron tea-kettle and a pocket magnet in a tub or cistern of water, will show the surprising distance at which a floating magnet is moved in the water, and the maximum of its increased speed and force at its contact. The magnet, for a surface or horizon. tal trans t, should be placed on a float sufficient to support it; and for an ascendant motion, to the same float should be attached a slight weight, just sufficient to overcome its TORPEDO. buoyancy and hold it at the bottom, or in equilibrium at the point where it is required to be stationed. Torpedos constructed upon the above plan might be conveyed under a fleet at sea, within reach of attraction; and in front of harbours (no matter what depth of water), or in ship channels leading into harbours, they could easily be adjusted with a slight weight resting on the bottom (somewhat in the manner of harbour buoys) suspending them in a floating, upright position, at the proper depth for vessels to pass over them; and the weight attached not being heavy enough to interfere with the attraction, they would be sure of rising and striking a vessel and exploding, in the most effectual place, for the rays of magnetic attraction converge to a centre. The external form of the torpedo should be such as to incur the least resistance possible from the water in its as cendant motion; and the experimentor will be astonished at the force of its central and unerring blow when coming in contact. What effect these torpedos might be made to produce exploded against the side of a vessel at the water-line, others may understand better than myself; but any number of them floating on the surface could be sent into a bombarding fleet at a mile or two distance, and within the reach of attraction, in a surface current formed by a succession of ricocheting shots fired over them. Any seaport town, at a trifling coast, may hold in readiness enough of these magnetic torpedos for its protection; already charged; their weights and length of line attached to each, fitted for the place it is to occupy. Their keeping would cost nothing, and at twelve hours notice they could be submerged on the ground where a bombarding fleet must necessarily take its position; and from their effects the world would soon learn that the shot and [Issued October 15, 1866. shell of the mailed monsters of the ocean are no longer to be thrown upon the land-that iron men-of-war carrying the element of their own destruction must depreciate that no iron bottoms will be safe in venturing over these attractive NOTES ON THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF CARACAS.-There are three public libraries in Caracas: La Biblioteca Pública y Nacional, La Biblioteca de la Universidad, and La Biblioteca del Seminario. The first contains nearly 5,000 volumes, and occupies a lofty room in the old convent of the Franciscan monks. The books, very few of them being of bibliographical interest, are placed without any system, just as in the shops of some common traders in second-hand books; and the alphabetical catalogue is made without any knowledge whatever, the actual librarian knowing no other language than his native Spanish tongue. He has done, nevertheless, much for the library, which he found in the utmost state of neglect, covered with dust, and partly destroyed by insects. The poor fellow has a monthly appointment of nearly £10, which, however, for two years has not been paid to him. former times many books have been sold by the very librarians, a fact which I know from my own experience. The directors of the establishment never got their salary, and of course did everything to make amends for it! There are In a great many useful books on Venezuela, but none of Humboldt's writings, with the exception of the octavo edition of his work on Mexico. The old Spanish authors on the American discovery and conquest are represented only by a bad copy of Garrolasods la Vega (Comentarios reales and La Florida), and a defective Herrera (the so-called Derades). There are no funds whatever. The best things in the establishment are the nice bookcases of cedar-wood. The Biblioteca de la Universidad was formed by the celebrated Dr. José Vargas, a truly important man. He bequeathed it at his death, together with his collection of plants and minerals, to the University, whose real founder he may be called. The collection numbers from 4000 to 4500 volumes, principally on natural history and medical science. There is no catalogue. and I am afraid this certainly valuable library will by and by suffer serious damages. The Biblioteca del Seminario is a collection of theological and periodical machines, and that eternity will be close at hand for those who attempt it. The above suggestions, without protection, are at the service of the whole world. GEO. CATLIN, un-Civil Engineer. works, all of the 16th, 17th, and 18th century, some being of bibliographical interest. The library has a most inconvenient place in one large dusty room of the so-called Paladio Argobispal; it has no librarian, and no catalogue. I began the redaction of a catalogue, but for want of time and any assistance in clearing away the heaps of dust, I was obliged to leave this task undone. This library is not open to the public, but foreigners or literary men find easy admission. From none of the three libraries books are allowed to be taken to other places. Caracas has no right to boast of a scientific or advanced literary life. There is nevertheless something to be said on these matters, but I must leave this for another opportunity.-A. E. THE REV. JOHN S. C. ABBOTT, author of a "Life of Napoleon," and other well-known books, has nearly ready for publication a volume containing The Lives of the Presidents of the United States, from Washington to the present time."

PHOTOGRAPHY.-Professor Towler has nearly ready for the press a primary work on Photography, entitled "The Negative and the Print; or the Photographer's Guide in the Gallery and in the Field, being a Text Book for the Operator and Amateur."
