Walt Whitinan has fssued a new and con- Pieto edition of his poems, with the samme title as that glyen to his first volume, published in 1850, and relssned at Camden, N. J. soma twenty yoars Inter. In this volume all the objectionable passages which were the cause of so nuch complnint at the time of their first Appearance ave given entire without asword changed or omitted. It was snid of Mr. Mallock by an English reviewer, that In his Inst. novel ho had introduced “the beastly into literature.’ Constdering some of the unexpurgated Hnes in this volume Mr. Whit- man Ig entitled to the honornble position of the. apostle: of tho beastly in poetry, Nothing that © Swinburne—a kindred. unclean spirit, of greater Intellectual power, however—over wrote compares with the foulness of somo of the’ “goud gray poet's verso, The Ines might be appto- priate over the portals of a bawdy house, but notin a voluine of poetry from a ra- spectable publishing firni, intended for gen- eral elreulation, Mr. Whitman has been so long silent that the lending facts In his career are, generally torgotten, Hels now In his 63d year, hay ing been born In 1819 nt West Hill, on Long Island.: His father was an Englishmanand as mother from Ilolland. During his life ho has worked as printer, carpenter, school- teacher, editor, army-nurse, and clerk In the office of the Attorney-General, He has travdled quite oxtenslvely, apd has suffered of late years from partial paralysis. For a proper appreclation of bis poctry a pecullarly cultured taste ig required. Claiming to be a writer for and of the people, those to whom Whitman appeals have shown the lenst sympathy with him and the ereatest ignorance of the Inspirations of his inuse, © Possibly we do not comprelend Whitman. | Certainly we fall to enjoy what he is pleased to cull his poetry. ‘Lo any of Carlyle’s heavily-capitulized pages the sume title might be applied Switioqual force, ‘Tho diMculty le-to understand why It would not bo equally effective und striking if ontitied “prose”? ‘Take ns an instance tha pogin en titled “ Our Ohl Feuilluge’?s Always our old foullingo! Always Florida’s green peninsula—nlways tho ricoless delta of Loulsiann—atways tho cot- n-fvids of Alabainy and Sexes, Always Catifornin's golden hilis,and hollows, and tho silver mountains of Now Mextco—always soft-breath'd Cuba, Always the vast slopo drain’d by tho Southorn Sen, inseparable with tho slopes dratn'd by the Eastern and Western Scns, ‘Thowurca the cighty-third yeur of theso States, tho three and a half millions of square mites Tho eighteen thousand inflea of sea-const and ‘bay-coust on the muln, the thirty thousand nilles of river navigation, ‘The seven millions ot distinct familica and tho same number of dwellingy—niwnys thesa, and more, brauching forth into numbericss branches, Always the froo range and divoraity—nlways the continent of Democracy; Alwnys the prairies, pasturos, forcate, vast cities, travelers, Kanudit tho snows: Always these compnet tanda‘tled ut tho hips with the bolt atringing tho hugo oval inkes— Thus, in. the same strain, this so-called poutry runs on for four pages without 1 sln- acy perloals Itis true that Walt Whitman has becn praised by such high authorities in Hterature as Emerson, Tennyson, aud Rusk- in. ‘Thelr eulogies, however, wore rather on the thoughts and sentiments of thy author than praise of his versification, Mis power ig rugged and his controlling lmpulse, apart from his exotism, Is to say whatever occurs to hin at the moment, whethor relevant or irrelevant. He lacks both rhyme and rhythm, His is imaginative, but not metrical, com- position; the fruit of un excited imagination, bat without measured form, If ween! him a great poet, and-judge him by his writings, whore shall we’ assign our Longfellow or Whittier, tried on the saine kind of avideneu? Macaulay had as broad and Iberala_ defini. tion of ara poctica as any one. “ By poetry,” he says, “we mean theart of Eniplay! ig words in such a ananner as to produce an illusion on the imagination; the art of doing by means of words Whut tho painter doca by means of colors.” Now, If wo take ono or two of Walt Whitman's best efforts, how docs ha fulfill these requircments?

The lotters ho wrote to that journal having been revised and added to are now published in book form, Much that Mr. Rag has to say In regard to the American Northwest is affected by his evident desire to make of tho Canadian Northwest a second. edition of the Garden of Eden. Whether a desire to turn the tide of emigration from the United Kingdom toward tho Northern Imits of the Dominion of Canada. iu- stead of into the territory owned by the United States is the matnspring of tho rather contemptuous allusions to Minnesota and Dakota or not iy immaterial. No one is likely to depend upon the correspondents of the London les for information about our agricultural regions, when so many more reliable sources are at thelr command.

We. Blies rerely hope that the next volume will fuls full tho expectation awakened by the title of the present one, although this one $s by no means wilnteresting or uninstrnctive, “ Man’s Origin and Destiny” Is a volume which was published several yenrs azo. It has tow reached second edition, ‘The au- thor is J, 1, ‘Lestoy. George Il. Ellis, of Boston, is the publisher, ‘The price is $2. ‘The volume contains sixteen lectures, which were originally delivered before the Lowell Institute In 1805, Mr, Lesley is an evolu tlonist of the skeptical achool. He. regards the Old and New ‘Testaments as of no aus therity, He seems to have a great spite ut * the Jewish theology.” And the religion of “orthodox Christians,” such as Hengsten- herg, he pronounces Fetichism. Of course he traces nan to an prigin vastly further fenesis, and by a prophetle forecast he sees the human race at au future day politically disenthralled by the proper recoualtion of woman's rights, and re- leved by sclence from the incubus of relig- Jous superstition, ‘The idea of individual im- mortality, he thinks, sprang from the sitper- stitlous worship of nncestors, which, how- «ver, itself implied a belief in Immortality. As un interpreter of Scripture he would not slind the test of an examination for a Biblical profegsorship in a theological sem- inary. Many later works in the fame line with this of Mr, Lestey will now be deemed more worthy of careful reading and study. —— EXPLORERS OF THE NINETEENTH “CENTURY, | Jules Verne has been writing a serles ‘of volumes under the general title of “The Ex- ploration of the World.” The volume before usis the third in the series, nnd deals with the exploration and colonization of Africn; the Oriental, scientific, and American discov- erles; voyages round the world, and Polar expeditions. The book contains some fitty original drawings, and fifty-seven fac-simYes from carly manuscripts and maps. Mr. Verne has the happy faculty of writing en- tertalningly. He skins along the surface of historical research, and then displays his gathored riches with a sort of runaing com- inentary so pleasantly worded that he almost deludes into the bellef ‘that ho is reallya profound scholarand investigator. By this means he manages to impart a great deal of useful information. ‘The only difi-, culty 1s to separate Verne from. his nuthori- tles, and thus draw the line between fact and fiction, ‘The books in this series are mere coinpendiums of the works of others, and ara intended to interest young renders in the great explorers of the century, and to briefly reeapitulate the resdlts attalned by their Jnbors and researches. For such no task Mr. Verno Is pecullurly well qualitied, and these volumes will be found both entertaining and useful reading. ‘They are handsomely bound and clearly printed, and well adapted to.use as gift-books for boys which shall have per- manent value. 4 Published In New York by Charles Scrib- nor’s Sons. - MYTHOLOGY AND FOLK-LORE, This volume, by the Rev.
