10 LITERATURE. ‘tax Yraxs or My Livs. By Princess Felix Salm- Salm, New York: R. Worthington. In pressing into one medium sized volume an ac- eount of the adventures, irendships and bereave- ments of ten years of an eventful life the Princess Saim-Saim has dove herself and ladies generally @ Rreat injustice, We naturally cxpect @ book written by « woman, especially a clever woman, to be chatty and tal! of siail information, Now, it ts the habit of some philoxophers to despise small information; but philosophers can be fools like other people, only per- haps a little more learnedly, aud certainly those who contemu the small and minute information which Photographs the daily life of a people are not wise, For a woman who passed through so many tmportant events and saw so many strange scenes the Princess has remarkably little to say. ‘This is perhaps to the credit of her neart, though it takes from hor literary merit, ‘The truth is the Princess, according to her own showing, was very much in love with her husband, and she seems to think that every one ts a® Much interested as herself in her hero, her gentle bat pugnacious Felix. According to her own showing he ‘was a man of very little ability, but seems to have had ma courageous and joyal heart. THe was always spoiling fora dght, and like most peopie of that turn of mind ended by getting wiped out of existence whilo yet @ comparatively young man. All that Soucerns Folix arouses the enthusiasin and the eloquence of the write but even in Matters which concern him most nearly there 18 a want of that minateness of detail and thoroughness of juformation which are the chief attractions of bio- grapbical works, ‘The authoress does not take us enough into her confidence; we do not see enough of the mo- Uves of the actions or events which are reported to us. ‘There ts little evidence of any powers of observation of the hab nd customs of the strange peoples among whom the authoress was thrown tn her wandering, eventful life. An Indian cabin or a Freach hotel are recorded as though they were mero arbitrary signs, the mere mentioning of which conveyed to the reader’s mind a clear und ample idea of the thing written about. Now, nogreater mistake than this could ve made, and though there is some truth ip what the Princess says about the uselessness of trying to convey adequate ideas of scenery by mere verbat description we cannot go the length of agreeing that is Js impossible to convey pretty clear notions of the gen- tral appearance of a country by means of verbal de- scriptions. A writer cannot paint a landscape, but by a few broad well defined touches he may suggest one. The Princess also has tho great fault of seeing events through colored spectacles, Whoever is her friend is full of virtue, and her enemies, though generally treated with charity, are still very bad people, But in spite of many drawbacks the book is full of interest and possesses, many fine and striking passages. ‘This was unavoidable, for the current of the story runs through the three great dramas of this century—the struggle for the Union, the fall of the Mexican Empire and execution of Maximihan, and the Franco-Prussian war, ‘Yhough the Princess occupied a position during alt threo events which gave ber unusual facilities tor the Acquirement of interesting iniormation, itis to her share in the Mexican druma that she owes moat of her popularity aud fame, The efforts she made to save the life of Maximilian were creditable to her heart and head, She was a partisan of the Emperor, and as is her wont can see nothing but novility in his charac- ter and in his execution only an unworthy vengeance, This, no doubt, is womanly reasoning; but when we remember the hundreds of Mexican citizens wbo were torn from thoir families and their friends and shot to death on the ireedom of their country tothe wellare of a usurper we cannot shure either her sympathy or her sorrow. The idea that the blood of an emperor is of more im- portance than that of any other man is an exploded ane, The really valuable feature of the book is tho simple and unpretending manner in which all events j that came under Princess Salm-Salm's notice are re- corded. There 1s besides much unique information about men who have played the principal rdles in this century’s drama with which intelligent readers will bo glad to acquaint themsel Tux Heritace or LAXGDALE. New York: Heary Holt & Uo. ‘This voluine is a recent addition to the “Leisure Hour Series,” and is by the author of that charming story, “The Wooing O’t,” but is no more like that Btory than chalk is like cheese, ‘The Heritage of Langdale” is « “shape” story, (o borrow frum stage parlance, That is, the scene is laid in the early part of the eighteenth century, and the characters conse. quently dress in the costumes of those days, when a man’s legs were more a subjoct of care and thougat than his face, Like all stories told of those stirring times this abounds in abductions, mysterious mar- riages, pirates and ‘modish’? ladies with court plaster patehen The characters are cleverly drawn and the diulogue good, Maud Langley, the heroine, eventually gets her heritage, but it is alter great triais and tribulations, There are capital descrip~ tious of old china and old furniture in the book that Make one envious as be reads. Lady Helmstord, Muud’s gay and worldly aunt, {sa very complete char, ‘acter, and the subordinates, Miss Sparrow and Dora- shy, are amusing. Horace Walpole 1s introduced in a side glance os one ol the characters of the day. A litle error on the part of the author is the statement that Mrs, Langley performed Beethoven's sonatas on the harpsichord, a difficult task, as they were not written until some fiity years later than the date of this story, While many will prosounce this Mra. Al- exander’s most exciting story, few will find im it the charm and originality of “The Wooing O't.”” By Mrs, Alexander, Grsta RomaNORUM; Of, ENTERTAINING MORAL Stories, ‘Trangsiated trom the Latin, by Rey, Charles Swan. Revised and corrected by Wyunard Hooper, B. A. London: George Bell & Sons, Messrs, Scribner, Welford & Armstrong have just imported a new edition of that delighttul book “Gesta Romanorum,” which, as every one knows, 13 a collec- tion of the stories told by the monks of the Midule Ages as they sat wround their comfortable monastery firesides, Some of the most celebrated of ancient and modern writers huve gained their plots trom these stories, Which are as striking apd original as they are quaint avd curious, A collection of tho ““Gesta”’ was printed in 1473 to the Litio tongue, bueno English trauslation Was made autil Mr, Swan’s, printed in 1824. Tt nas been proved vy the research of Herr Hermann Vest who translated the work into German, that the manuscript of these stories still exists, Mr. Swan's translation having been tound faulty in some Fespects Mr. Hooper has revised und improved it, and ag the volume siauds now it seems quite complete; Dut no doubt that in another hall century this one will be fuund wanting and somo Icarned protessor will set himeelt to work to make a new translation or to re- vise this one with the be!p of new Jucts. We are in the meantime, however, couteat to accept the Swan- Hooper version, which gives us such a dishfu! of buts to eat. One can hardly say to crack, for the kernel Is taken whole from the sheli and served two us ly, The stories are short, and each bas its jou, & recommendation which cannot ve to all anecdotes Some of the stories are are always highly moral.

Jewots, a book of sketches, whieh, taken to- gether, make up a very fine study of a New England town, Novody in the Eastern States ever lived to be tweuty years old without vowing to exterminate some- body for printing slandera about his native land; but occasionally an artist appears and paints a portroit that is reasonably exact, and then the whole six East- ern States purr with excitement. One of these few truthful delineators is Miss Jowett, who has published alow stories in the Atlantic Monthly, about a coast town, which she calls “‘Deephaven,’’ and which fairly Tepresents more than one of the fishing ports on our coast, whence cammerce has departed, loaving only the faint traditions of former glories, The trade ol Deop- baven was ruined by the embargo of 1807, und for years @sandbar has been slowly filling in the mouth of its harbor, Those of the imbabitants who have any occu- pation are fisuermen, and if anybody prefers a moro active life he must go elsewhere in search ot it, and is spoken of afterward with kind pity. “Even the com- monest fishermen,” says Miss Jewett, *felta satisfaction ‘and seemed to realize their privilege in being residents of Deopheven; vut among the nobility and gentry there lingered a fierce pride in their family and town tecords and a hardly concealed contempt and pity for people who were obliged to live in other parts of the world,”” Said’ the Widow Moses of a misguided nephe: "I never could sec what could ’a sot him Out to leave somany privileges and go way off to Lynn, with all them children, too. Why, they lived here no ‘more than a cable’s length from the meotin’ house!” ‘Tho Deophaven people have faces which seem to be- long to the old colonial times, and use qualnt words and expressions such as one finds only in books, Thus far the description applies tolerably well to ‘Marblehead, but it is provable that some other one of the Essex towns is meant, as the diulect is different from that of Marbiebead, and is at the same time so perfectly soif-consistent that it seems as if it must be accurately reproduced. “That's Miss Seth Tanner,’ says the lighthouse keep- er’s wil ‘and there isn’t a woman in Deepbaven nor East Parish to be numed the same day with her for lazi- ness, 1’m glad she didn’t catch sight of me; she have talked about nothing for a fortnight,” Anotber woman is descrived as ‘Willin’ woman; al- ways been respected; got an uncommon facility o’ | speech. I never saw such a hand to talk, but then she has something to say, which ain’t the caso with every- body, Gvod neighbor; does acccording to her means always, and she is saidto have a dreadful tough time of ttwith her husband; shif’less and drunk all his time. Noticed that dent in the side of her forehead, I s’poso? That’s where he liked to have killed her; siung a stone bottle at her.” The captains furm a class. by themselves in Deop- haven, and may be found, apy ploazant morning sun- niog themselves on one of tho wharves and talking over old sea adventures, One needs to reud the book and note the many dell- | cate touches by which the author secures an effect. It has no plot, for it isa study and not a romance, but it is interesting, as an old wile’s tale whispered over the fire is often more fascinating than an elaborate poem, Mr. Thomas W. Higginson, the colonel who looks it he nev wa sword, and the clergyman who looks as if he never stood in a pulpit, has completed his “Book of American Explorers,” announced some time ago, and it will be published in a week ortwo. It con- tains the histories of the voyages of the discoverers of America, and tho romantic stories of the eariy ; settlers in Virginia, Massachusetts and New York, told in the precise words used by the hardy captains and adventurous pioneers. Mr, Higgimson says he bas been led to make a series of extracts from tho narratives of these early discoverers and explorers, because they seemed to bita us interesting as Robin- won Crusoe, and, indeed, very much like it, and adds | that what he hopes is tbat those who acquire a tasto for these old stories from reading his book may turn to the chronicles from which tho extracts are taken and follow up the study tor themselves, The tales which are most likely to excite this curiosity are “The Strango Voyage of Cabeza de Vaca’ and “The Lost Colonies ot Virginia”? Tho boy does not live who would not be moved by tho stern, brave Spaniard’s story of his wanderings, or whose love of romance would not be stirred by the tale of the littie company of p!anters Ieft at Roanoke aud vanishing thencefortn from human | sight. The tale of Hudson’s death is told in the words of one of the brutal crew that set him afloat, and Captain Smith’s adventures, including the Vocahontas episode, are related in his own words, although the story of the Indian princosa is spoiled by a discrediting foot note. ‘Ihe spelling is the only thing that has been altered in these transcripts from such | old chronicles as were written in English. Those transiations have been used which most clearly gave the spirit of the original. The book is dedicated to “George Barrell Emerson, without whose counsel and whose efficieat kindness this historical series would nover have been undertaken.”? Lockwood, Brooks & Co, will soon publish ‘What ts Art?” by & G. W. Benjamin, a lecture which has been given before the Essex Institute, the Massachusetts Normal Art School, Bowdoin College and other institu. tions. Mr, Benjamin defines artas a spontaneous form of expressing yearoings after the good, the true and the beautiful, and says that highest province ta to | quicken the imagination, t@ touch the sccret spring which moves the emotions, and thus to please, to in- fluence, to educate and to elevate, He gocs on to defiue form, light and shade, perspective tone valucs and composition, and having thus disposed of the theory of art turns to its practice and gives much technical information interesting to an art student. Last of all he considers the rejation which the art public bears toward art und artists and the real character of art in its bearing upon society as a civilizing element. Mr. Benyamtn’s stylo 18 very good, and he can bo eloquent on occasion. His book may not be needed in New York, but it certainly is in Massaghusette, for our legislators and talkers have im- proved every possible chance during tho last seven years to talk about art, and with almost perfect unanimity have talked with supreme foolishness, Mr. W. E. Norton, Boston’s favorite, if not Boston’s only native marine painter, 1, a8 has been announced for some time, about to leave hor forever, and all his finished pictures and studies will be offered for sale | next Thursday and Friday. 1t is to be hoped that they will bring better prices than those other native pic- turcs which huve been sold here this winter, for thoy put very little money in tho paimters’ purses. Norton will go to London first and study there for a time, but has not definitely planned his course atter- ward. If be returns to America at ail ho will settiein New York. A private view ol the picturos was given to-day, and, although nearly all of them were marine views, there was no lack of variety in the collection, tor Norton never seems to paint the sea in the same mood twice. “Gathering Kelp’? will probably be called the finest | Picturo of the collection on account of the masterly | $y way in which a brilliant effect is produced without the | use of any bright pigments, The fog above is as gray aud dun ag the sand bencath the feet of the patient Drown and black coats of the beasts aut turning the moist sand into a mirror. “‘Crogsing the Grand Banks” | 48 very good, and ‘Among the Fishermen, Georges? | Bauks,’” is masterly, Mr. Norton may or may not | beable to paint a ghost, bat he can paint a spectral | ship admirably, and inake her phantom sails and spars | loom through tho fog in a way that gives susceptible | Boston maidens the “shivers”? and makes the eyes of | the "loagshoreman to glisten, Tho Ro gansott Beact’” and “Portland Beach,” England, are good studies of waves, In the Jatter the foam creeps and glides, cruel, erawhng and haugry, up tue sands, and drops sutienly back unappeased, In the other the white-crested waves lash and toar themselves, and | one hollow green breaker rears itself aloft threaten- iugly.
