nating appreciation of its beauties, and a wonderful knowledge of natural history. With a mind imbued with such pure sympathies and longings, we wonder whence comes that bitterness which the author now and then displays. "Society, "he says, "is always diseased, and the best is the most so." His fellow men meet with no charitable judgment at his hand. But what shall we say of Mr. Emerson's Life of the Author? If he sought to induce the reader to love or honour him, we are sure he has failed; if he wished to depict him as a model man, a character worth admiring, he has been most unsuccessful; for we have seldom read a biography which has given us less regard for its subject. The picture Mr. Emerson has drawn represents a rugged, self-opinioned man, with a powerful intellect, but neither disposed to exercise it for his own good or the good of others. The lives of men were useless indeed, if Thoreau's life, as here depicted, be a fair sample. No kindly sympathy had he for his fellows; no ambition to leave the world better than he found it; no wish to leave his mark in the world's history, but simply a desire to seek his own pleasure in the contemplation of nature, turning on all occasions the rugged side of his character only to his fellow men. And yet we feel that Mr. Emerson's is a life-like picture, and it may be read and studied to advantage.

By J. WILSON, A.M., author of Errors of Grammar and Nature of Language. With Portrait. 8vo. pp. viii, and 384. Albany, 1864. 16s. The task which the author has undertaken in this volume is to present a view of the present state of Philological Science. He claims credit for the general plan and conception of the work as entirely new, and states that he does not know a single general or comprehensive work in the English language similar to his own. He either is not aware of or ignores the able work of his countryman, Dwight, entitled "Modern Philology," in 2 vols., the first of which has already passed through three editions. The work commences with brief sketches of the English and Latin languages. Next comes a critical examination of the nature of nouns, adjectives, cases, numbers, genders, comparisons, also the nature of pronouns, prepositions, adverbs, and conjunctions, showing what they are, and the forms they have in other languages. The most interesting part of the whole work is the comparative view of the history and idioms of the principal languages of the world. Here the selections are very copious, and as far as we have been able to test them, correct, and the English translations close. But the subject of etymology is treated in a manner which can hardly be termed scientific, and which betrays a sad want of knowledge of Sanskrit Grammar, so indispensable to the linguist. Phonology, vocalism, and consonantism, are hardly touched upon, and there is no trace in the book of the author being acquainted with the law of the transmutation of consonants, a law which pervades all the Germanic languages.

ORIENTAL LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. THE PUNJAB EDUCATIONAL MAGAZINE AND EDUCATION IN THE PUNJAB.-We have received from Lahore the first (January) number, 32 pp. 8vo. of the Punjab Educational Magazine, a monthly periodical, edited by the Director of Public Instruction, Captain A. B. Fuller. This Magazine will contain original articles on education, a summary of the educational literature and intelligence of the month, and reports of lectures and literary meetings. The first number contains, in addition to other matter, model answers to the examination papers of the Calcutta University; the introduction to a Philosophical Grammar of Arabic, by Dr. G. W. Leitner, Principal of the Government College at Lahore; and an abstract of lectures on the science of language, delivered by the same gentleman.-The Punjab now possesses two Government Colleges and twenty-three Anglo-vernacular Schools of the superior grade. In all, Urdu, Persian, and Arabic form the staple of Oriental Instruction. The same languages are also chiefly studied in the colleges and high schools of the North-western provinces; in all northward of Benares, and in some of the educational institutions of Bengal, especially in the Behar division. A HINDU SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL REFORM has been formed at Agra. Its founders recognise, in principle, the divine origin of the Vedas, and take as the rule of their conduct the precepts contained in these books. Their main object is to induce their co-religionists to return to the purity of the faith, to the simplicity of the usages and customs of ancient times. The journal which serves as their organ is entitled Bahrat Khand Amrit (Ambrosia for India). Another Hindu Society, decidedly Christian in its character, has been established at Madras. It calls itself Sathia Veda Samayam (Society of the true Vedas). Its object is the development of religious, moral, and social progress among the Hindus by means of public lectures, discussions, and religious tracts. THE MAHOMEDANS OF INDIA are endeavouring to unite Mussulmen and Hindus in a literary and scientific brotherhood by the formation of a scientific society. Passages quoted by M. Garcin de Tassy from their programme, written in Hindustani by Said Ahmed Khan, manifest a very enlightened and tolerant spirit. The Society has its seat at Calcutta, and calls itself "The Society for the scientific improvement of Muhammadans." EDUCATION IN INDIA AND ITS PROMOTERS.-Several new educational institutions have been established and others are in process of formation. At Lucknow in Oude the Taluktars have founded the Canning College and the British Indian Association.-The Burhampur Government College will be considerably enlarged. Fourteen lecture rooms and a library are to be added.-On the 8th October, 1864, Sir Bartle Frere laid the foundation stone of the great College, to be called "The College of the Deccan."-For the construction of a College at Surat, Sorabji Jamsetji Jijibhoy has liberally contributed the sum of 65,000 rupees.-A rich Parsee has given the sum of 50,000 rupees to furnish to five natives of India the means of studying for English University degrees.—A distinguished Hindu, Prem Chand Rao Chand, has contributed the large sum of two lacs of rupees towards the establishment of a library for the university of Bombay.-A Mahomedan, recently deceased, Muhammed Habib Bhay, has left two and a half lacs of rupees for the establishment of a school at Bombay. MR. KEMPSON, the Director of Public Instruction in the North-Western Provinces, has written anonymously a novel in Hindustanee, entitled "Dastan-i-Jamila Khatun" (History of the Princess Jamila). According to M. Garcin de Tassy, the work is written in so perfect an Indo-Mussulman style, is so rich in genuine oriental metaphors, and in Hindustanee, Arabic, and Persian quotations, that without a knowledge of its authorship it would never have been attributed to a European pen. A Gujerati translation of ELPHINSTONE'S HISTORY OF INDIA has appeared at Bombay, in two volumes. The well-known Tamil scholar, Dr. Graul, has left in a finished state an edition of the Tamil Epos, the Kural, which will shortly be published by F. A. Brockhaus, of Leipzig, with a Latin Translation, English Notes, and an EnglishTamil Glossary. From St. Petersburgh Academicians we may ere long expect important contributions to the department of Philology. Dr. Bochtlingk is engaged upon the third volume of his Indische Sprüche. A. Schiefner has in the press papers on Tibetan Grammar and on several Caucasian languages (Tchetchenz, Avare, Ossetic). Wiedemann's Grammar of the Ersa Dialect of the Morduin Language is being printed; and at the end of this year the printing of William Radloff's Materials collected in the Siberian Tartar districts will be commenced. The latter, it is said, promises a rich harvest for the students of language and mythology. THE ROYAL UNIVERSITY OF TÜBINGEN has projected a catalogue of the manuscripts in its library; and the first fasciculus has just issued from the press. With the exception of a few works in Bengali and Malayalim, the manuscripts described in this fasciculus are Sanskrit. They are far from numerous, and their availability for ordinary use is diminished by the circumstance of their being in the Bengali character. This collection formerly belonged to the late Dr. John Haeberlin, an agent of the Church Missionary Society at Calcutta and elsewhere. Though containing no novelties of special value, it embraces a fair representation of the literature of the Tantra, Purâņa, and Upanishad classes. The scheme of the catalogue does not admit of detailed accounts of the contents of the manuscripts noticed in it; and yet such particulars as are given will be very acceptable to Oriental scholars. This catalogue, which is prepared in a most scholarlike manner, is the work of Dr. Rudolph Roth, the celebrated Indianist. The forthcoming number of the JOURNAL OF THE ASIATIC SOCIETY (New Series, Vol. I. Part II.) has the following attractive table of contents:-1. Translations of Three Copperplate Inscriptions of the Fourth Century, A.D., and Notices of the Chalukya and Gurjjara Dynasties. By Prof. J. Dowson.2. Yama and the doctrine of a Future Life, according to the Rig-, Yajur-, and Atharva-vedas. By J. Muir, Esq.3. On the Jyotisha Observation of the Place of the Colures and the date derivable from it.

On the Age and Authenticity of the Writings of Aryabhata, Bhatta Utpala, Varâhamihira, and Bhâsharâchârya. By Dr. Bhâu Dâjî.-6. Outlines of a Grammar of the Malagasy Language. Part I. By H. N. Van der Tuuk.-7. On Xandrames and his Identification with Kanandi. By Edw. Thomas. An important work has recently been completed at Calcutta, viz. A Collection of Treaties, Engagements, and Sunnuds, relating to India and neighbouring countries; compiled by C. U. Aitchison, B.C.S., Under-Secretary to the Government of India, in the Foreign Department. 7 vols. 1862 to 1865. Such a compilation has always been a desideratum, and the partial attempts previously made to meet the want have been, though valuable, isolated, and inadequate. A late critic of the work in the Calcutta Review complimentsand no doubt deservedly so-the competition civilians, on this the first fruit of their literary labours, as redounding to the credit of the whole body. But we cannot admit with him that the old class of civilians closed their literary labours with Mr. W. Muir's valuable work on the life of Mahomed, when there are still such eminent men of the. Haileybury order of civilians as Mr. James Muir and Mr. Edward Thomas, late Judge of Benares, devoting their powers, one to the investigation of the Vedas, and the. other to the Archæology and Numismatics of Ancient India. The new part of the CALCUTTA REVIEW (No. 85, 1865,) just arrived in Europe, shows the following interesting table of contents:-1. Benares, Past and Present. 2. Tea Cultivation in India. 3. Phases of Hinduism. 4. Indian Treaties. 5. Indian Accounts. 6. Sailor Life in Calcutta. 7. Education and Morality. ENGLISH BOOKS PUBLISHED IN INDIA AND CHINA.* (Continued from our last Number.)
