THE NEW YORK WHOLE NO. 6910. a Sa ant nanan SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1855. ‘The Literary World. ‘The book trade languisbed ia the early part of the season. No branch of business suffers more quickly ‘or severcly @ dep-ession in Wall atrest. The gloomy prespecta of the spriog cansed advance sbeets from London to r'main unopened, and the Tasnuscripte of netive wri'ers to be declined unread. The improved condition of the country, however, Las lateiy revived the astivity of all clasees of book- makers,and Novem%er and Dacember will furnish pearly an avorage supply of new works snd new editions. Tae difficulties betwexn the Booksellecs Association andthe Messrs. Bangs heve aleo boon Brravgei, and there is & p-obability that the semi- ancual trade gala, in September, wit! ba one of the Moot extevsive and heavy ever held in the United States, Of costly illustrated books for the holidays there wil be few. Amavg tuoae to bs ready ia October, bowevec, exzpassing eva'ything hitherto axtempt>4 by our publishers, is “The Holy G pels, illustrated with forty quarto engravings, in the higheat style of ocatemp rary art, from origtoal pictares by Ovar- be.k.” This magnificent volume has been edited ia the moat excellent msnzer by the Rev. Saver OF Goop, D D.,and will be hardly leas attractive av.a |, ; | publication of the year will be “The History of literary ttan as a pictorial souve2tr. known that there are easier, if not bigier, places than a Chief Justiceship. A well known literary gentleman, devotediy attached to the Judge, is en gaged upon bis “ Memoirs,” which are to be a look- ing glsas for ycung Franklias, with all ths elements ofan Uncie Tom success, In this department there are also looked for the “ Life and Writings of Joel Barlow,” ®& which we shall bave the red republicanism of 1790 to 1810; the ‘Life of Rufus King,’ by Charles King; tho “ Memoirs of John C. Calhoun," avd the fifth volam> of bia “ Worka;’” t:e “Corzespondence of Daniel Webster,” edited by his literary executors; the “ Letter of Henry Clay,” ediied by the Rev. Dr Coton; and, perbsps, the “ Memoira of the Life and wee of Martio Van Buren,” of w ich the M3S is understood to have been completed during tho emirent author's recent residenca abroad. In history, we shall have during tue fall two work of the highest interest, Mr. Prescorr’s “ History of Philip the Second,” of which two volureés are sheady atercotyped, and two additicnal yo umes ot Mr. Macautay's “ History of Bogland,” besides a translation fr.m the French, of De Witt’s profound ard brilliant ‘ Life of Washington.” In American local history, the most important The learned librarians of Harvard Coliege and” | Texse, from its first Settlement to the Annexation,” Usion College are preparing extevaive works, tilus tratizg the biographical history of those veverab's instituiions—Iike Wood’s famous ‘Athena Oxont er sis,” bat somewhat more minute and comprehen: sive. Executed with proper attention to falnoas erd accaracy of facts, the prop:sed volumes will ba extreme/y udeful. Yale, Nassau Hall, William and Mary, and Columbia Culls sbould follaw the ex- swple, Mr. Sibley, of Cambridge, or Mr. Parsong, Gt Schenectady, will doubtless readily commanicate ‘the m:ara which they have adopted for collectiag the neceseary information. The hobit of printing family histories ia increaa- ing. De. Borp, an ingenious ad painstaking an‘iquerr, of Philadelphia, has devoted a largo portion of his tim», asd a great deal of his monay, ‘for twenty years, to the preparation of a geneolo- gical accoust cf the famiiies ot his native town, niar Beaton, His work, which will be published n xt tall, will. be as large os a Bible, and will undoubtedly surpats enything ever ceen tn its de- partmect, in exac'nces, clearness and particularity. More ixteresting than aay sach coltectisn of ‘memes, cates and other statistics, are family memo- ria’s which embrace histori:al and literary’corres- wondence, auecdstes and personal characteriz ations. A work of this description has lately been privately printed by THomas Baron, Eaq., of P riladelphia, which we hope some time to see given to the public, It isentitled “Lettsra and Papers Relating Chiefly to the Provincial History of Pennsylvania, with Some Notices of the Writers;” and Mr. Balch’s wocatioa is unmistakably indicated by the rt ‘bic maazer in whica bethas performed his editorial duties. The manuscripts cf which he has made tha Jarpeet we are those of Chief Justice Shippen; but Dearly ail the leading Philadelphia families of the Taster bell of the las! cemtu:y are represented in his vcurfowr, ertertainirng and luminous volume. A‘ a fa‘ure day Mr. Baich promises to print from the M583. ia bis posseesion a election relating to public af ivs, which will aff in supplying gaps in tha provinoial histcry of Pennsylvania. Taat selection wili probably be offered to the booksellers. Tne first volome cf the “Lives and Times of th: ‘Chief Justices of the Supremes Court of the United Statee,” by Haney FLanvees, is enable and very in- tereaticg performance, and has been praised very ‘warm'y by the best jadicial and his‘o.ical critica It con‘sins only two. biographies: tiose of Jay ani Rotledge, but these are ja marked coatrast, from geogra hical situation, pers,asl character and po- Vitiosl principles. If Mr. Flanders does as well with his other volumes, the work will be ons of great importance, and of inevitable popalarity. Mr. A. W. Youna has ready for pudlication, in a very large volume, “‘Amorican Statesmen: a Politi, cal History.” Of the msuner in which hs has exe? eu‘ei his task we have no means of forming aa opinioy, but all the recent books on parties and warty ‘saders in the United States have been fai!- oT pte most noticeable conteibutions ¢o political his- tory ard biography durirg the present season will be the concluding volumes of the ‘Life and Works of Jcha Adame,” by CHaries Francis ApAus, and of the “Life of Alexander Hamilton,” by Joun ‘© Hawritox. There sre no more sagscious and care'w) students of American history then these representatives of the great rival statesnian of the fedeial party. Mr. Adams bas already published aight vo'omes of the works of his grandfather, and has nearly ready the first and tenth, which will om brace the biography and remaining letiers and ecsvys, and indexes. No other Revolutionary cha: racter has been presented by edito:s and printers with az much accuracy and elegance es John Adums. Mr, Hamilton’s edition of the works of hie tater is also an exesilent specimen of pkilful ‘and cazeful preparation, bat it is incomplete’ in not vombracing the “Federalist.” Of the “Life of Alex: ander Hantiton,” but two of the four or fivo vo\umed have yet appeared. The remsiniog volumes are oraily finished, and none wh) read those pub- ished a few years ago will need to be assured that nothizg more lawyerlike, more exhaustive and con- clasive, respecting the career of this illustrious statesman, is likely ever to be written. The Federaliat,” as we have observed, was not Yncind. 4 in the edition of Hamilton’s writings, pub- ished uuder the patronage Of Congress, Mr. John ©. Homilton will, however, Urlog out an impression ‘of that famous prodnction withia é fe midgasts, ina atyle of typography uviform with that of the other works of bis father, sad with an “Jutrodaction” ‘wh‘ch will produce a greater sensation among the vee‘iges of old parties than anything that has been wwrit'en for some years. The personal and political ‘fame of Mr. Madison is eli to have suffered very materially fromthe sta'ements and discus rious su the second volame of Hamilton's Life; and ip the new “Tntrocuction” to the “Federallat,” ia which an attempt will be made to settle conclusive ly ail tbe disputed matters connected with the su'horship of those essays, the sage of Montpelier is in darger of s:ili greater sad more irremediable injuries, unless we bave crroaeous information on ‘the subject. Another forthcoming work which cannot fail, in ‘the prevent condition of pariles, t> be extremely Anteresting to politiciansis the “Memoirs, Speecnes, O ations, Addresses, Sermons and Pastorals, with o’ her Letters, official and private, of the Rt. Rev. Jobn Hughes, Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York.” None of the easential materials for this voluminous compilation being protected by copy rights, the publication is beyond the Archbishop's restraining influence ; and the reputed industry and ability of the pe:sons who have it in charge leave no doubt that all tha wapone ever fabrica- ted by his Grace, which can now be made use of ‘egainst bim, wil! be collected and set ia order for the convenience of every Kaow Nothing, Protest- ant, or dissffected sou of Mother Charch, who is disposed to study or take advantage of his Grace's weak pointe. . A cheracter vot unlikely to be prominent in ‘national politics one of these days is Chiet Justice Ex118 Lawis, of Pennsylvania, « man of immense resources of learning and tact, and a degree of po ju. larity among the middls classes to which few bave ever attained. His Honor, we believe, professes to care nothing about political distinotione; bat i! is in two octavo volnmes, by Col. H. Yoakum, formerly cf the United S'ates Army. Texas history, “ all which he saw, acd part ot whih he was,” is pre- tented in thid'work by Col. Yoakum with the most laborious exactness, and fulness of detail avd re- markable perapicuity. In ficticy, the remarkable fact of the season isa rovel by Cuartes Dickens. No announcement in the literary world could create a greater or more pleasiog aepeation. Mr, Thackeray's “Nowcomes”’ is generally voted a failure. The readers of this ccontry will never erjoy his unamiable and vu'gar exhibitions of London swell life, nor belisve that they arein any just sense islustrations of human nature. The Americans have alla love of ‘good society,” and Mr. Thackeray, who never painted a character whom a gentlemen would invite to dinzer, connot intreduce them to it. With Dickens itis éif- ferenf. The expectation of a new ucvei from him ig equivalent to assurances of an introdastion into a Celighifal circle of fiends. Tens of thousands throughout all this country, will count upon Dickens’ new story as oxe of the fairest promises of happi. tess during the goming winter. This hold which “Boz” retains upon the popular heart 1s evinced by the extraordinary sales of his earlier works, which have a far greater popularity than those of James, Bulwer, or even Scott. Any new production of Dickens ia aure of a sale of at least 150,000, in ove shape or anoiber, in the Uxited States. ‘The most prowising sathor we have now in the Southern States is Jomn Esten Cook, of Richmond. His “Virgizia Comedians,” “Youth of Jefferson,” and “Leather Stocking and Silk,’’ are all intended es daguerreotypes of arcial lite in the Old Dominion, and are executed with great naturalness and spirit, and Gramatic and pictu-esque power. A new work from his hand, equal to the bist of bia previous per- formances, entitled ‘Eilie, or the Human Comedy,” bas just been issued. Arce Cangy has nearly printed “ Married, not Mated,” a vew novel of Western life; and Marion Haxxanp, author of “Aloze,” has another work descriptive of Soutaero manners, called the “ Hid- deo Patb.” The author of ‘‘ Which? the Le‘t or the Right?” bas made an excelléut begioatng ia iiterature. His sincere and powerfal prcductioa, betraying on every page that it was written for a nobie purpose, and wih all the energy of a nature thoroughly slive to its importance,.bas made a market for any new novel be may bring forward. Avoong tre other re- cent anonymous adventures in this departmen’ “ Blancte Diarword” deserves honorable maution. Twenty years ago it would have ma!e its author a celebrity. ’ Mr. Feepearce Bev., of Philadelphia, has just pied an enlarged and otherwise much in- proved edition of Bishop Percy's ‘ Reliques of Axcient Exglish Poetry,’ making it in many re spects the most desirable edision ever published of this celebrated work, Tannyson’s new volume, “Maud, and other Poems,” is nearly all in the hands of his Boston publichers, who have also received a portion of the ceyy cf Mr. and Mrs. Browntno’s iong promistd volome. Barngy, the author of ‘Festua,” is on his way to this country, with the intention of lecturing here. He comestoo late. The ‘ Festus” fever is over. He would have made a fortune, perhaps, half a dozen years ago. Few except thoee engaged in the business are aware of the immerse markot sffo:ded by this coun- try for works in the German lapguage. [a Phila- Celphia twotival publishers are getting out editions of the great wit Henry Heine, and voluminous as bis writings sre, it is anticipated that they will have asale of rot ies than twenty thousand copies. Werk’s edition, isaned under tne care of one of Heine’s old friends, will be the most complete ever printed. It will contain besides, ail the acknowl- edged works of the author, those wicked per formances of his earlier years, which even German sud French publishers care not to reprodace under their own imprints, and which Heine himself is un- derstood now to repudiate. They are not at all too free for the German market in America. Of Heine's inimitabio “‘Reisebilder, or Pictures of T.avel,” an admirable trausiation hea been made by Colonel Chatles G. Leland, of Philadelphia. Competent critics pronounce it the beat reproduction of the very life of s German classic ever effected by an Ameri- gan echoler, Oae part oaly is yet issucd—it is to te compigyed in five. » The Rev. N-L. Froruimonam, of Boston, has on the eve of publication ‘‘Metrical Pieces,” original and translated, in which we shail bave, besides the eminent author’s exquisite original pieces, some of the fines} gems of German song, a8 weil clothed in English aa they were in their native ia: guage. Cheaply 28 books are macufactured in thie coun- try, and active as our pubishera are in every field of competition, the “Libraries” of Boha are im- ported and sold {a ex'raordicary quantities, and at prices for which no American books as well mana- factured can be afforded. The Istest volumes of these beautiful seiies are Smythe’s ‘‘Lectares on Modern History,” the “Memoirs of Philip de Comines,” the “Exempiary Novels of Cervantes,” the first volume of “Strabo,” and the third volame of the ‘Complete Works of Edmund Bu:ke.” Naval Intelligence.
