Suite’s Sable. BOOK CRITICISMS. A correspondent in the Northwest, who wields a sharp pen, has sent us a commu nication on “ Newspaper Reviews,” which we insert verbatim et literatim in another part of the paper. Like all writers in the slashing style, our correspondent somewhat overdoes his sub ject, while saying forcibly and well some true and needed things. We think there are few weekly religious or secular papers who would think of calling the brief notices of books, which they generally publish un der the head of “Editor’s Table,” Reviews. They are smply notices, aimed at little else than announcing the book, with the most general idea of. its drift and character. Readers wish to know, as much as pub lishers wish to till them, promptly, what new works are out; and the newspaper editor or publisher feels it part of his multi farious duties to inform them, so far as it is in his power. This is as much and as im portant a part of the news department as battles and. murders. It is quite as inte resting to readers of religious papers to know that a minister has written a book, as that he has received an honorary title, gone to Europe,'labored in the battle-field the camp or the hospitals under the Chris tian Commission, received a call or enjoyed a revival iii his charge. A book is as great a fact often in the religious world as the erection of a new church edifice or the meeting of a Presbytery. Hence we cannot wait until publishers choose to advertise. If by sending us .promptly a copy of each of their new issues they put it in our power to give our readers the desired information, we should wrong them (the readers) if we refused to do so. And they equally wrong us if they expect elaborate reviews, or anything more than hints, in the use of which they must still depend on their own judgment in mak ing a final decision. We should be sorry, indeed, if any reader supposed for a moment that we wished or expected him to regard the brief criticisms found in our columns as finalities; while we wish it just as fully understood that they are written with conscientious care, and that so far as they go, they represent our real opinion as to the character of the books themselves. How fully they correspond to the facts of the case we leave it to the reader to decide. THE GREAT PRINTERS STEPHENS. We conclude our extracts from the arti cle on this topic in the last London Quar terly. The writer dwells upon a point of interest ,to all, though few give it any thought, which was especially important at the era of which he is writing. oararN of the form of our printed LETTER. The earliest printed books differs in no thing from the MSS. of the same date, ex cept in the fact that in the latter the letters are formed with a pen; in the former they are impressed from a stamp. The outline of the letter employed by the first generation of printers is therefore a fac-simile of those employed by the contemporary generation of scribes. Just so, the earliest wood en graving closely copies the style of illumnina tion which was then fashionable. The printer took up and continued the business of the transcriber. The press in each coun try—Holland or Germany-—reproduced ex actly the script-hand of each country, Hol land or Germany. A striking instance is afforded by the earliest Italian press. The “ Lactantius,” of 1465, the first (or second) book printed in Italy, was printed by two of Fust’s German workmen. Accordingly its types, though distinctly not German, exhibit more or less the German or Gothic forms. Within a very few years, however, the correct and classic eye of the Italian discarded the barbarous flourishes of the Gothic letter. As early as 1470 Jenson, engraved at Venice a letter which, with trifling modifications, is that to this day in general use by the printing presses of West ern Europe, and known as Homan.' It has been said, and often repeated, that this Homan letter was an eclectio letter, invented by the Venetian designers, after a compari son of many alphabets We are satisfied that this is an error. The Homan type of Jenson was simply an engraved copy of the Italian script-hand of the period. It was not in the power of the early printer to in ttoduoe a new letter. The printer was a competitor in the market with the tran scriber. He was under a necessity of pro ducing the same article as the rival whom he was seeking to undersell. The commis sion he gave his engraver was therefore to furnish him with a type closely conformed to the hand in established use by the oopy ist. Otherwise the public could not have read his books with sufficient ease. The Italian transcriber of the fifteenth century has thus had the unexpected honor of fix ing the letter-forms of France, Spain, Hol land, England, and through them of a large part of the world. THE GREEK LETTER. Angelo Vergecio was the last of the pro fessional calligraphs.* The Press, which was yearly perfecting itself as a mechanical art, made, under the superintendence of Bobert Estienne, an attempt to reproduce the graces of the pen. Vergecio designed, and Garamond, the first French engraver of the day,- executed, the sets in various sizes known ever afterwards as the “ Royal Greeks.” With these types were produced the Greek books of Robert 1., of his son Henri 11., and of other of the Estienne, be ginning with the Eusebius of 1544. They were liberally communicated to other pub lishers, and were used not only at Paris by Morell and Turnebus, but also at Heidel berg and Basle. Even those printers who did not obtain founts directly from these * Transcribers of Greek books before print- famous moulds, gradually conformed the design of their letters to their model. 'lt requires a very experienced eye to pro nounce if a book has been printed with these types, or with a new type designed from them. Thus Vergecio and Robert Stephens had the honor of fixing the forms which the Greek Press all over Europe fol lowed for two centuries. It is only within the last hundred years, that, as beauty has gradually given place to mechan ical perfection, a new type has been intro duced into our Greek presses, which is as remote from the Hellenic form of letters as our barbarous enunciation is from the true sound of the language. The Genevan Printing Establishment fell into the hands of Henri, eldest son of Robert, known as Henri 11., to distinguish him from his grandfather of the same name. His brother, named Robert, had forsaken his father and his father’s faith, and. re turning to Paris, set up his press in the old house. Little is said of this Robert by the reviewer. Having submitted to the Papal yoke, there was little chance for him to maintain or add to the lustre of the family name, in an art whose vital breath is liberty. Henri 11. was initiated into the work of his life at seventeen, having assisted in correcting the Dionysius of Halicarnassus which Robert brought out in 1547, an ED. prinoeps, and a splendid volume. From that moment he devoted himself as a labor of love, not of profit, to the reproduction of the works of the ancients, —a task to which he remained constant to the last, a period of fifty years. From the first, there was in his eharac ter an element of restlessness which: de veloped finally almost into lawlessness. At first his long journeys were scholar’s pil- bearing directly on his art and profession. For nearly twenty years he toiled with all the herculean energy and profuse results which marked the career of his father. A mere enumeration of the publications which issued from his press conveys no measure of the amount of this work. He was not a publisher in our sense, but him self supplied the greater part of the matefial for his own press. - If he printed a Greek author, he corrected the text himself; edited it himself; revised when he did not make the Latin version, and often added notes and appendixes. His series of editions was accompanied by a bye-play of brochures, grammatical or critical, written in the in tervals of press-labor. The year 1566 is pointed to by M. Renouard as the most prolific in Henri’s career. M. Renouard, himself a practical printer, knew what a compositor’s room could do. In the two years, 1566-7 taken together, Estienne put out,—l. A Greek Anthology, in seven books* 550 small folio pages oi Greek type. 2. A Corpus of sixteen Greek poets who wrote in heroic hexameters; 1300 pages of Greek, in large folio. 3. A second edition of his Pindar, with revised Latin translation, 570 pages of small 16mo. Greek. •4, Herodotus; with Valla's trans lation, revised by H. S.; 750 folio, pages. 5. A new edition of the Greek Testament, with the Vulgate, and Beza’s version in parallel columns. 6. The medical writers, Hippocrates and Galen excepted, in Latin versions; 3500 folio pages. 7. The works of the Greek Sophists; 88 4to. pages. 81' Eight selected tragedies of Sophocles, iEschylus, and Euripides. 9. A Sophocles, though it does notappear in M. Renouard’s list, and we have never seen it. (See App. to Anth. Grcee.). In all these he not only corrected the press, but corrected the text: the reader will please to observe the distinc tion between-these two functions. His textual labors may not have a high critical value; but the attention demanded by this revision of some 4000 pages of Greek text is a drain upon the energies to which few men are equal. Yet during this very time he was writing his “ Defence of Herodo tus,” a volume of 600 closely printed pages; not, indeed, a labored production, but cer tainly original, and full of matter. : At this time, his . fortunes having been ruined by expensive publications, for there was no adequate demand, he commenced another and far different career, One of seemingly aimless vagrancy among the courts of Europe, in which we need not follow him. He died in 1598. at Lyons. We will close with a single extract illustra ting ROYAL MUNIFICENCE IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. Estienne had not been long in Paris when he was sent for by the King. The conversation turned upon the French larguage. Next to Greek, this was Estienne’s favorite theme. Fresh from the publication of his “ Dialogues” on the corruption of French by Italian modes, he harangued fluently on this abuse, and maintained the superiority of French to every modern tonuge. The King re quested him to write down his thoughts at more length. Estienne would have excused himself on the ground of not having his notes, or any books, at hand. “ Trust to your excellent memory,” was the royal an swer. He sate down to the task, and the. “ Precellence du Langage Franqois,” thrown off in little more than a fortnight, was the result. It was beautifully printed by Ma mert Patisson, who had married the widow of Robert 11., and succeeded to his business. It was presented by the author, in proper form, to the King, who expressed his satis faction. For some months liberal promises were made, but they remained promises; yet Henri 111. was “liberal au-dela tousles rois.” At last, August 12, when Estienne was on the point of leaving France in de spair, came actually a patent conferring a life-pension of three hundred livres annually upon Estienne, “in consideration of services rendered by himself and ancestors to the Crown of France.” Nor was this all. The pension was only to be the retaining fee: the “ Precellence” was to be separately paid by a douceur of a thousand crowns. Muni ficence truly royal! and fully bearing, out d’Aubigne’s character of the monarch. A thousand pounds was a sum which Estienne THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY JULY 520, 1865. had probably not handled for many a year. He hastened to the Exchequer to cash his draft. The cashier offered him six hundred down on receiving his receipt in fuH Henri indignantly refused. “ Very well,” was the contempetuous reply; “ vous reviendrez 4 l’offre et ne la retrouverez pas.” He did think better of it, and the cashier was as good as his word. By the advice of those who understood better than himself what royal finance was, Henri offered to take the six hundred, and got—nothing! M. Re nouard suggests that the cashier found means, notwithstanding, to make the whole sum figure in his accounts. Considering the profound corruption of the French ad ministration before Sully, we cannot say that the suggestion i 3 an improbable one; and Pierre Mullen—that was his name— even in that time, was noted as “ grand larron.” We do not know that the pension had a similar fate. But we may infer it with probability from a letter of Melissus, of some years latter date. Melissus, writ ing in 1580, to Estienne, then at Geoeva, to congratulate him on his resolution he had taken to set his presses to regular work again, expresses the wish, “ that his better genius had guided him back to Geneva sooner, instead of leaving him to be de luded by the empty promises of the Court of France.” (“ Inani Aulse Gallic* pol licitatione deceptum.”) Such language would hardly have been addressed to him had he been in receipt of a pension from Henri 111. ■ ANNOUNCEMENTS OF ENGLISH PUB- Mr. Murray’s quarterly list of works in the press embraces: “A Narrative of an Expedition to the Zambezi and its Tributa ries, and of the Discovery of Lakes Shirwa and Nyassa, 1858-1864,” by David and Charles Livingstone.—“ The Correspond ence of King George 111. -with Lord North, 1769 to 1782,'during the American War;” edited, with notes and introduction, by W.

NEWSPAPER REVIEWS. We have a general and well grounded distrust of quack medicines, German in twelve lessons, twenty dollar gold watches, and newspaper reviews. We wish to impress our the same dislikes, to such an extent as to in-, duce them with one voice to demand, that editors of newspapers shall confine them selves to their own vocation; leave the publishers to do the puffing in the appro priate column, and the reviewers to do the reviewing according to their respec tive creeds. Notwithstanding Sydney Smith’s cele brated refusal to read a book he was about to review, lest he should contract a prejudice against it, mortals of duller wit will find that plan of procedure greatly inconvenient and inconsistent. An editor receives a dozen volumes from a pub lisher, about the first of December, each .of which would deijjand a month to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest, in such wise as to give opinion of its contents, and of their meaning. ' The publisher, however, cannot wait a twelve month. He wants to sell his books during the holidays, and to have them puffed by the editors previously; and his advertising business adds weight to his wishes. But the editor who has the affairs of the nation to review; the care of all the churches upon his shoulders; editorials to write upon negro suffrage, reconstruction, new school heresy, or old school bigotry, with a review of the markets, and a painful weekly examina tion besides of the lists of delinquent subscribers, not to speak of two hours’ calls from country clergy, and letters from strong-minded sisters to reply to, has-riot got the patent reading-machine into which books may be poured by the bushel, and the sense extracted into a phial in two hours. What then is he to do ? He may proceed on faith in the intel ligence and integrity of publishers; and taking it for granted that they have sense enough to imitate the example of the Carters, (who have made a fortune by publishing no books which they have hot read,) receive every book the pub lishers send him as good in its way, and ( dip into it here and there to find some sparkling passages for extracts. Some publishers, knowing the pressure on his time, mark these gems in pencil, and turn down the leaf. Then he goes to work with a tolerable supply of adjec tives and phrases—enterprize, typo graphy, obligations of the public to the publisher, for. this valuable work, original, brilliant, learned, suggestive, with a saving clause of not endorsing everything it contains, and scribbles off a quarter column of commendation. It is very difficult however to produce a dozen such reviews sufficiently varied, and the stereotyped phrases soon become ridiculously familiar, and then stupid. . Then it is a preposterous position for a grave Presbyterian to be found endor sing some abominable Socinianism, a Re formed Dutchman introducing Gail Ham liton’s marriage system, or an orthodox Baptist commending an Episcopal hymn book; and a pious Methodist lauding Herbert Spencer’s infidel philosophy. The honest men meant no such thing. They simply had not time to read the books carefully, or know what the writers were driving at. We submit that this absurdity has now become so ridiculous that editor# should refuse any longer the prospect of the pillory. Besides, there is no regular tariff for these editorials—often an editor makes a fool of himself for nothing. He might read a withering exposure of his com mendation of nonsense in the columns of his rival, without injury to his eye sight, were it shaded by a suitable green back ; but publishers don’t pay for re views, they pay only for their advertise ments. We suggest then a meeting of the trade to resolve that henceforth publishers write their own newspaper reviews, insert them in the advertising columns, and pay for them, and that editors give up the business of reviewing books to men whojiave time to read them.
