NEW PERIODICALS.-Messrs. Little, Brown, and Co., of Boston, have issued the first number of their American Law Review, a quarterly publication, which aims to be for American what our Law Magazine is for English legal literature. Of medical periodical literary ventures in the United States there seems to be no end Dr. Robert Stone, of Newhaven, Connecticut, proposes to publish a useful journal, consisting entirely of selections and translations from English and Continental medical periodicals, to be called The European Medical News, and Dr. J. Keller announces a new monthly from Kansas, to be called The Kansas City Medical and Surgical Pioneer.-The Rev. Moses D. Hoge and Mr. W. Brown propose to issue The Richmond Eclectic Magazine, monthly, the contents to be religious and literary.-Mr. Albert Pike is to be the editor of The Southern Mason, to be published by Mr. Giles M. Hillyer, of Natchez, Missouri.The Literary interests of the Mississippi Valley" are to be cared for by The Weekly Hesperian, a new literary journal hailing from St. Louis, Missouri.—Literature and music are to form the staple of The Fireside, a projected fortnightly paper, to be published by Captain C. C. De Nordendorf of Lynchburg, Virginia.-Boston is to be favoured with a firstclass weekly magazine, to be issued also, like our All The Year Round and others, in monthly parts. It is to be edited

by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and Mr. J. R. Gilmore, better known as Edmund Kirke. Its title smacks somewhat of conceit-Northern Lights.-The American Tract Society announce their new monthly as the Sabbath at Home. hope its matter will be more original than its title -The Dramatic Monthly, as its title implies, appeals to a select class its first number has appeared.-Stimulated by the marked success of Our Young Folks, publishers and authors seem to have believed the demand for juvenile periodicals illimitable. Foremost among the new ventures in this field stands Messrs. Hurd and Houghton's Riverside Magazine for Young People: an illustrated monthly; numbering among its contributors Mr. Goulding, the author of "The Young Marooners," who is to write a serial story called "Frank Gordon;" Mr. Jacob Abbott, who has prepared for the first number a genial paper called "White Mice at Home;" and other well-known writers. Next, the veteran author, Mr. T. S. Arthur, is to edit The Children's Hour, intended for a younger class of readers than Our Young Folks.-Mr. W. T. Adams, better known as "Oliver Optic," and already editor of The Student and the Schoolmate, a monthly illustrated, announces a weekly magazine, to be called Our Boys and Girls.-Demorest's Young America is another illustrated monthly.-And Miss F. P. Seaverns, we believe, seeks to fill in America the position so charmingly occupied here by our Infant's Magazine, with her new venture, The Nursery.Frank Leslie who publishes weekly a family newspaper, The Chimney Corner; illustrated weekly newspapers in English, German, and Spanish; a monthly lady's magazine; a monthly family magazine, called Pleasant Hours; a monthly comic paper, called The Budget of Fun-sighing, like Alexander, for more worlds to conquer, announces a Boys' and Girls' Weekly Newspaper.-The Collegian, a fortnightly journal, has just been commenced by the Students of the College of New York.

NEW POETRY.-Ralph Waldo Emerson's new volume, May Day and other pieces, is nearly ready for publication. -Walt Whitman, whose poems, Leaves of Grass, and Drum Taps, have been so eulogistically noticed in recent numbers of the Fortnightly Review and The Galaxy, has a new volume nearly ready, to be called Poems before Parting, which, rumour says, he is to publish himself, no American publisher being willing to venture money or name in the publication. -Mr. A. B. Street's poems have been collected in two volumes and issued at New York.-Robert Kelley Weeks, a contributor of some beautiful short poems to the periodical press, is about to collect them in one volume.-Mr. W. Gilmore Simms' collection of The War Poetry of the South forms a volume of 480 pages, and consists of about 200 specimens of poetry, including many poems which will not soon be forgotten.-Miss Emily V. Mason has made a similar collection from newspapers and other sources, which she calls The Southern Poems of the War. It has just been published by Messrs. Murphy, of Baltimore. The worthy editor proposes to apply all the profits of the publication to the education of the daughters of Southern soldiers who fell in the

war,

and of those who have been left destitute by the results of the war.

CHARLES READE AND HIS AMERICAN CRITIC.-The New York Round Table is the best literary paper published in the United States. It is independent, out-spoken, free from anything like favouritism, and we believe totally inaccessible to corrupt influence; its warm advocacy of International Copyright, and its denunciations of really indecent literature deserve special acknowledgment; setting its face, however, against what is sensational in novel writing it has recently obtained a reputation for sensational criticism, and in two instances during the last few months has done much, we fear, to lessen its influence as a literary critic, and as a social reformer. One of its most startling recent articles had reference to Drunkenness among American Women, in which, with a certain show of authority, the writer asserted that hundreds of women, in the best society, were in the daily habit of ordering and drinking whiskey and brandy in public saloons; so broad a statement met with immediate contradiction, and the writer subsequently, we believe, admitted this and other charges to be somewhat exaggerated. In June last, one of its reviewers took occasion to denounce Mr. Charles Reade's "Griffith Gaunt" as an indecent and grossly impure publication; and to class Mr. Reade with George Sand, Eugene Sue, the writer of "Don Juan," and other pernicious authors. Fair criticism authors must submit to-but denunciation, without a single line of proof, exceeds the bounds of decency. Mr. Reade, naturally indignant at this treatment, replied in that terse, vigorous style, of which he is so thorough a master, and dealt some crushing blows upon his antagonist. At a time when a man's reputation and position in society are at stake, he must not stop to choose his words, but in the strongest language at his command he ought to vindicate his character; such was Mr. Reade's reply-it was not a politic, but it was a manly and natural reply. When a man calls you “rascal" to your face, if you have a grain of manhood in you, your reply will be neither legal nor parliamentary, but in strict accordance with natural instinct. In prize fights we are told that when one of the combatants is sent reeling to the ground by a well-directed blow, his supporters find a brief rest and a plentiful application of vinegar necessary to bring him up to the mark again. Mr. Reade's rough blow was planted on the 13th of October-rest and a plentiful application of mental vinegar has brought up his antagonist again, and in the Round Table of December 1st-with all possible acidity of language-he charges Mr. Reade with plagiarism, drags to light a brief story by Wilkie Collins, published in 1859, and a story which appeared in Household Words in 1856, having some remote resemblance to Mr. Reade's work, and with an unaccountable narrowness of vision seeks to brand Mr. Reade as a plagiarist-the very fact of there being two tales bearing a resemblance to "Griffith Gaunt" ought to have suggested a doubt; but, blinded by passion, the writer flings his arms round wildly in the hope that a chance blow may do some mischief. To those who know Mr. Reade such a charge is simply ludicrous-to those who do not know him we only say, read all three stories and judge for yourselves. The charge is a proof of the writer's incompetency to criticise; and we are surprised that a respectable English literary paper like the Reader should give it currency by reprinting the article without any sign of disapproval. A GRAND UNDERTAKING. - The Rev. Dr. J. Isidor Mombert, Rector of St. James's Church, Lancaster, Pensylvania, is engaged as editor upon a work which is much needed. His design is to issue in eighteen large volumes, at the rate of two volumes per annum, a Theological and Ecclesiastical Encyclopedia, which will cover the whole field of theology in all its branches, divisions, and sub-divisions, with its auxiliary sciences. "It will be Christian as opposed to infidelity and Rationalism; Protestant as opposed to the corruptions and innovations of the Latin Church; Catholic as opposed to all sectarian tendencies. . . . Every Christian communion will be heard [in its pages], and if possible by her own sons." He has secured the co-operation of all the most eminent theologians of every orthodox denomination in America; of many prominent English theological scholars; and of such men as Professor Tischendorf, Dr. Hagenbach, Dr. Van Oosterzee, and other well-known continental divines. Such a publication, carried out as designed by the editor,

will reflect credit upon the age that produces it, and we wish it every success. Of the publication of the first volume we shall give due notice.

The Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER will in future contribute a sermon every fortnight to the New York Methodist. Messrs. Trübner & Co., 60, Paternoster Row, London, will receive English subscribers' names for that paper.

Not

HYMNOLOGY AND SACRED POETRY. - Miss Harriet McEwen Kimball's Hymns are to be issued in one volume. Miss Kimball is a member of the Episcopal Church. the least recommendation of this volume will be, the imprimatur of John Greenleaf Whittier.-Mr. Anson D. F. Randolph has written some very beautiful little hymns and poems, which we presume are to be collected in the volume, Hopefully Waiting, and other poems, announced for publication by Messrs. Scribner and Co.-Though scarce a col lection of hymns can be named which does not contain many of the productions of Charles Wesley-his merits as a hymn writer are hardly appreciated beyond the religious societies founded by his brother John; yet in the combination of correct diction, musical rhythm, vivid imagination, religious fervour and earnestness, he excels any religious hymn writer we know of-true it is that his writings are not all of equal merit; indeed, he wrote too much-his published and unpublished poetry would fill, we believe, twelve closelyprinted octavo volumes; yet out of this immense bulk a wellselected volume might be prepared which would be treasured by all lovers of sacred minstrelsy-Mr. Frederick M. Bird, of New York, announces such a volume as we speak of, under the title of Charles Wesley in his finer and less familiar Poems. While on the subject of hymnology, we direct our readers attention to two articles on Psalms and Hymns for Public Worship, by Mr. C. K. Whipple, which appear in the September and October Number of The Radical-not because of our concurrence in the views there enunciated, but as a specimen of utilitarian criticism. Poor Dr. Watts' grammar, logic, religious sentiment, and poetical imagery are dealt with in trenchant style.-The Nation of August last also contains some hymnological articles on Tinkering Hymns -a subject fairly open to criticism.

ENGLISH CRITICISM.-Mr. George Washington Moon having achieved some little success in his brochure on the English of Dean Alford, has constituted himself custodian of the Queen's English, and in that capacity has recently been delivering himself, in The Round Table, of a series of criticisms on the style of the well-known philologist, the Hon. G. P. Marsh; we will not deny that trivial criticisms have their use in philology; the mouse in the fable served the lion when in distress; but it is not our fault if Mr. Moon's proceedings remind us of the less complimentary fable of the Frog and the Ox.

AUDUBON.-The Rev. C. C. Adams, rector of St. Mary's Church, Manhattanville, is preparing a journal of the Life and labours of this great ornithologist. Audubon left a MS. journal from 1812 to 1840, consisting of 12 large folio volumes and it is upon these autobiographical records that Mr. Adams' work will be based. The first volume, we believe, is nearly ready.

CANADIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY.-A much-needed work is announced for publication-"A Manual of British American Bibliography," by Mr. Henry J. Morgan, of Montreal. It will contain titles of all works or pamphlets relating to the history and affairs of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Prince Rupert's Land, Vancouver's Island, and British Columbia, published since the time of their discovery and first settlement up to the present. It will also include biographies of British-American

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF IOWA. From the American Journal of Science and Art we learn that the Geological Survey of Iowa, which was suspended during the War, has again been taken up by the State, and that thirteen thousand dollars have been appropriated for the expenses during the next two years. Dr. C. A. White is in charge of the survey, and he and his assistants are by the terms of the appointment expected to give "the people of the State the greatest amount of practical information in relation to its resources," he is also required to publish popular articles in the State newspapers, and to deposit in the State University all type specimens, and in the Agricultural College all specimens illustrating Economic Geology.

THE CHICAGO ACADEMY OF SCIENCES is about to commence the publication of its "Proceedings," and the "Memoirs" read before it; the former in 8vo. the latter in 4to.

PROFESSOR AGASSIZ has recently been describing his discoveries in Brazil to the National Academy of Sciences, under the presidency of Professor Henry, at Northampton. His volume on this subject is anxiously looked for. Notwithstanding the princely munificence of Mr. Thayer and the assistance Professor Agassiz received from the Emperor of Brazil, and, indeed, from all with whom he came in contact, his personal expenditure has been very considerable, but we have no doubt the sale of his book will be such as to amply cover several times over all his outlay. RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF SLAVERY.-A Mr. David Quinn, of Chicago, Illinois, a northern man, has recently issued a pamphlet containing a petition and memorial asking for the re-establishment of Negro Slavery in the United States.

SOUTHERN LITERATURE.-Mr. J. Esten Cooke, the biographer of Stonewall Jackson, is preparing a volume in which the heroism, the services, sacrifices, and charities of the women of the South during the late war will be recounted.-General Early has nearly ready for publication a Narrative of his Operations during the Last Year of the War, including his services with Lee from the Rapidan to the James, his raid into Maryland, etc.-General Wheeler is writing a History of the Operations of the Cavalry Force under his command during the war.-Mr. J. W. Jones has in progress "The Religious History of the Army of Northern Virginia."—Mr. Basil Duke is writing the " Life of John Morgan." — Mr. Esten Cooke also has a collection of sketches of Stuart, Hampton, Ashby, Mosby, and other Confederate leaders, nearly ready for publication, under the title of "The Wearing of the Gray."-A very interesting and historically valuable series of articles entitled, "The Last Ninety Days of the War in North Carolina," appeared in the New York Watchman, and we are glad to learn are to be published separately, with additions by the author Mrs. Cornelia Phillips Spencer, daughter of Professor Phillips, of the University of Carolina. Mrs. Phillips writes with authority, having had access to the official documents of Governor Vance.-Works narrating the treatment of Southern soldiers in Northern prisons, promise to be very plentiful. "In Vinculis," by Mr. Keiley, recently published, is attracting some attention from its painful disclosures.-Rev. Dr. G. C. M. Roberts is about to publish a History of the Rise and Progress of Methodism in Maryland."- Mr. John Scott, of Fauquier, Virginia, proposes to publish shortly, Partisan Life in the South or Three Years with Mosby and his men." It will form a volume of 400 pages, and be well illustrated.
