Mr. David Alasson, Professor of English Litorr turo on tho University of London, and author of “Tho Lifo and Times of John Milton,” lately issued a highly interesting contribution to Bello Xjottres, in tho form of a book upon “British Novelists and their Styles : being a critical sketch of tho History of British Proso Fiction.” It has just been republished by Gould A Lincoln, of Boston, who also placed the first volume (all yet completed) of his Lifo of Milton bofore tho Ameri can public. The subjeot of this work upon British Novelists is bo comprehensive that one would not bo surprised at its consideration occrpying a largo volumo. Professor Masson, turnover, in conse quence of being fully master of the subject—for deep Knowledge is concentrating, whilo Superficial Knowledge is diffusely wordy—has brought his well-arranged and thoroughly-digested materials into tho small compass of 312 pages 12mo. Originally delivered in.the form of Lec tures, tho work has been revised and adapted for appoarnneo, as a wholo, in its prosont shapo. It is divided into four parts, which sufficiently divides tho work. First, wo have “On tho Novel os a form of Lltoraturo, and on Early British Proso Fiotion.” This brings us down to Aphra Behn, and the novelottos of tho Restoration, and includes an account of tho origin and history of early British fiction. _ Next, “The British Novelists of the Eighteenth Contury,” starting with Swift and Defoe; treating of Richardson, Fielding, Smol lett, and Sterne; passing on to Johnson, Gold smith, and Walpole, and concluding with the minor noveliits of tho latter part of tho last century. To this succeeds, what woconsidor tho best portion of tho work, a chapter upon “ Soott and his In fluence.” Mr. Masson suggcstivoly begs his readers to remember speoially that it was pre pared for an Edinburgh audience—an apology for its being so Scotch, However, it is more gonoral and loss national than might have boon expected undor these oircumstanoes. For it con tains not only a review of Scott’s wondrous library of fiction, but & notice of the progress of British prose fiction in the quarter of a century preceding the publioation of Waverley.

Lastly, there is a most inte resting chapter upon tho “British Novelists siuco Bcott,” inoluding these now living. It is difficult for a critic and historian to deal satisfactorily be tween the public, whom ho ndjics-ca, and the con temporaries about whom ho may havo to writo. Mr. Masson, wo think, lias eucccedod in conquer ing this difficulty, and publio and authors ought fool indebted to his good taste, no loss tftan his impaitialify. No novelist of any note, con temporary with, or subsequent to, Sir Walter Scott baa been overlooked hero, but tbo com mauding genius of a few merits, and has obtain ed, some particular and distinctive notice. Mr. Masson calculates, from data taken from the catalogues of tho British Museum, that tho an nual yield of British novels has been quadrupled since tho time of Scott’s doath, as compared with what it had been when ho was in the middle of his Waverley series—and that tho same overage, of 100 now novels a year, has been kept up since Scott’s doath. About 3,000 novols, counting about 7,000 soparato volumes, havo boon produced in Great Brituin and Ireland ainco tho publication of “Wv verloy,” in 1814. Tho novelty* tqtho coju»id«a tion of whoso pmriti or peculiarities Mr. Masson gives most space, aro John Wilson, Miss Mitford, Theodore Hook, Sirßuhyor Jgtfqn, Charlotte Brontp, Dinaji Maria Mis* Oaskoll, Chas. Jvingsloy, Afr* Disraeli, Mrs. Trollope, Airs. Gore, M. H. Ainsworth, Mr. Alorior, Air. Alaxwell, Captain Alarryat, James Hnnnay, Charles Lover, Airs. Shelley, G. I*. R. James, J. G. Lockhart, Wilkie Collins, Thoinna Hope, John Oa\t, Charley Dickens, Douglas Jerrold 4 and \V. M* A considerable portion of last chapter is d<}. voted to nn examination of the comparative merits of and Dickens, Cvnclusiun being that “ Tlmckuray pj a novelist of what is called Ihp Real School;” while “ Dickens Is a novelist of tho Ideal, or Romantic School.*’ It seems to us that this is only partially correct. There is scarce ly any romnneo in Thackeray's characters or inci dents. He is cynical, and strips the gentler illusions of life. Dickon*, on other hand, is as much IfoalUt as an Idealist. Tbo charm of his stories is that ho brings before us real fioah-and blood men and wumfqp aud real re main, whatever they may say and do. There fore, &% taking a <\oub,lo li,ne, Reckons is t\ better poyeilat tßan Thackeray, with his etoynal spooring at every thing and evory body, and his oppnront belief that society is altogether oomposed of rooks and pigeons, knaves and fools, with a sprinklingof womon, who arc either Jo\vn right bad at heart or not la intellect, in tho raro cases g°°<l for any AJr. AJtuson has some remarks upon religion In novels, which wo commend to the serious attention of tho writers of tho* and remarkable description prose-flctleu. Tho work, taken as r, contribution to literary criticism is valuable, and will probably havo a groat salo ip this country. All who read proso-fictiqp, and how fow aro not in this class, will Le as well as instructed, by perusing it. Wo may add that Afr. Masson coufinos himself to British prosotfiotlon. Will not some well-qualified writer among our selves do as much, with Oqual knowledge and Im partiality, for American novels and novelists? Exocutcd with even modorato ability and in a just spirit, it would bo sure of extended popu larity. Tbo Roy. Q. If. Spurgeon, tho English Baptist preuebor, who has suddenly acquired a popularity rivalling thnt of Wesley and Whitefiold, Irving and Chalmers, has made a very acceptable volume of sentences, illustrations, nnd quaint sayings, from tho works of that renowned Puritan, Thomas Brook'S* Ho oalls it “ Smooth Stones taken from Ancleut Brooks.” It has just boon republishod by Sholdon A Co., of Now York, who alono aro re cognised by Air. Spurgeon as his publishers in this country. AH- Brooks, upon whoso gospol writings Mr. Spurgeon has thus drawn, was a preacher in Rondon during the roigna of Oliver Cromwell aud Charles 11. Ho was ejeotod from the pulpit, soon after tho Restoration, because tbo purity of bis lifo and teaching found no favor in tho godless time of Charles Stuurt, Jfo wrote many religious books, ono cj which, “Precious Romodios for Satan’s Devices,” ran through about si2(ty oditloni, AlHbono Informs us.

Thero can bo little doubt that Geographical Knowledge is largely indobtod to Missionary enter prise. Tho only reliable account of Madagascar is that lately written by tho Rov. William Ellis, an English missionary, nnd the best description of the Fiji Islands and their inhabitants, is to bo found in “Fiji and tho Fijians,” written by Thomas Williams and James Calvert, Into missionaries in Fiji. It has boou published by Appleton A Co., of Now York, in a largo Bvo. volumo, with iftaps, colored plates, and engravings op wood- Air. Wil liams resided in Fiji for thirteen years, as Mothodlst missionary. Air. Calvert wa' a laboror in tho same field for seventeen years. Mr* Williams wroto tho first portion of tho look, treat ing of tho islands aud Btolr inhabitants. Mr. Calvert supplied tho second and larger portion giving tho Mission History of tho islands. The Mission commenced in 1834, and the success is spoken of as very great. To the public at largo, Mr. Williams’ account of Fiji nnd its people will be tho most interesting part of tho work. *lt U written in a very plain, straightforward maunor, but every pngo conveys information. We learn that in Fiji there are now moro than 700 church members, wilb 2,000 on trial for membership, and 00,000 stated hearers. Among these thero arc only ng/it missionaries. It is added, to show how little has boon accomplished among thoso savages, that, in ISOB, there was in Figi “ ns horriblo conibalism as ever; tho infirm aro still buried alive; widows aro still strangled ; infanticide is still a recognised institution; and tho treacheries and cruelties of war still polluto and scourgo many parts of the group.” Tho Rov. Dr. Haven, Professor in Chicago Theo logical Seminary, lately Piofessor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy in Amherst College, has just given a now work to tho world, entitled “Moral Philosophy, including Theoretical and Practical Ethics.” Gould «t Lincoln, of Boaton, aro tho pub lisher. This is to bo taken ns a sequel toProfcesor Haven’s treatise on Montal Philosophy, and was originally prepared as ft course of lectures to tho senior cluss in Amherst Collogo. It simply is, what teachors and studonts hnvo long called for, a text-book of tho sciouce of Moral Philosophy. Tho principles of Political Ethics, so necessary for TWO CENTS. the citizens of a free State to master, aro iully and plainly laid down in this able work. The fourth series of “Dow’s Patent Sermons” has been published by Peterson & Brothers. The subjects and tho allusions aro chiefly Californian, so that It may be supposed that “Dow Junior” tra velled into that aureate land. There is much shrewdneaa and terseness in these mock-discourses, and tho inaehinc-poctry intermingled with them i 3 amusing. Quaint as are these parodies upon the style of tho iate Lorenzo Dow, they really are less extravagant than might be supposed at first. “Tho Dictionary of Love,” published by Dick A Fitzgerald, New York, is the production of a well-read man who hangs gems, judiciously nulled from many writers, upon a thread of his own ob servations, and lias produced a pleasant volumo, over which a desultory reader may not unprofita bly pass an hour. “ The Book of 1,000 Comical Stories,” from the same publishers, is essentially vulgar in all its features. The selection is made without taste, and the wood-cuts, which were not good in their prime, appear to be worn out in various service. A poor thing, worn out altogether—worn-out stories to match worn-out cuts. NEWS OF LITERATURE. , Weldon A Co., New York, publishers, have now m the press a new work, from the Rev.

Moro than quoe, the comparison between tho -Aem 4 fub/et and other Catholic journals has b.oen forced upon us, by the superiority of its col lodion, collation, and arrangement of news, as woll as tho marked ability and’high tone of its original articles—political, literary, and social.
