7HE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM". PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 18G6. h I T EKATU R E Garden Veof.taiii.eh, aud How to Chltivatb Thim. l!.v Fcurlna Burr, Jr. J. E. TiPoii A Co., Boston. The want of gome ntnndnrrl haDCl-book on the art of gardening ban long been felt by amateurs. A long as the rotation ot crops und the seasons of planting were consideicd mysteries of the pro fession, it was simply imi'o-slble to rid oneself ot tbe tyranny of the all-wise pardeaer. The woik belore us Is a step in the direction of fatnl liaiizing the cottager and small land-owner with all the technicalities of cultivation. It coui pi ipca amona the plants treated of every form of garden vegetable. We have searched the index, aud can find every cla. Ulthlully provided for. By adopting the clarification of Linnrru", the whole is reduced to so admirable a system that any desired production can bo at .onca discovered. The directions given for each plant are concise, yet full and explicit. In (act, In its way the book is a model for all who desir to jiopsess a garden unencumbered with an arro gant "horticulturist." There yet remains for ns the pleaaant task of speaking of the typographical execution of the work. It is pnnted with a beauty and clearness which must cominrnd it to all. It is tilled with explanatory illustrations, every page contain ing two or three, while it is bound with a taste, and in so enduring a form, as to recommend Messrs. Tilton as adepts in tho art ot publica tion. We cannot but do this house the jus tice to eay that their works are all not only standard in their literary character, but are uniformly issued with a beauty not surpassed by any of the other great publishers of either England or America. Culture op ths Gkape. By W. C. Strong;. Boston. J. . Tilton Co. As the work of gardening is of a nature to be popular among all classes, especially the smaller landholders, the book ol Mr. Strong is eminently fitted to be a welcome addition to the library ot the wealthiest of our laud. Tho work treats of the grape in all its arled forms, both as au exotic aud an indigenous production of the soil. A graphic and interesting history of its cultiva tion precedes the work, and in each successive stage ot the book the idea of giving a lull and comprehensive description is fully carried out. When we remember the vast number of our citizens who have recently turned their attention to this form ot cultiva" tion, and the immense increase of the capita invested in grape-growing within the last decade, we cannot but drein the work ot Mr. Strong most opportune. The field ha never been covered belore with anything like an exhaustive treatise, aud as it is now so ably sup plied, we need have no other until the science of grape cultivation advances many steps. We can, therefore, heartily recommend it as a most valu. able and extremely readable work. We are very pioud ot its execution. Its title page is a miracle of taste and line engraving, while all ol its illustrations are executed with a delicacy which we have never teen excelled. The typography aud binding are all that the most critical connoisseur could desire. Pertect in appearance and excellent in contents, we desire nothing moie. A Brief Biographical Dictionary. By Rev. Charles Hole, B. A. (Trinity College). With Additions and Corrections. By William A. Wheeler, M. A. New York: Hurd & Hough ton. Agents: J. B. Lippinoott & Co. The task of preparing a universal biographical dictionary is one of the most difficult which a literary man can undertake. I f he elaborates the details of the lives of each noted person, he may spread his work to such a size as to conceal the defect of omission, but when !) merely decides to give the years of the birth and of the daih of all well known persons of all ages, the danger of every idler being able to recall some name which has been found unnoticed is great. There is nothing more euij in such a case than to find fault, and nothiLg more difficult than to make even an approximately complete work. As a general rule only a particular division of historl cat characters are undertaken, but Mr. Hols went to work to fulfil the taik of covering the whole pround, and he has sueceeded far beyond the most sanguine expectations. He built up a vast compendium of general knowledge, cover ing some four hundred closely printed pages and comprising over twenty thousand names. Such was the work as it came from the British author. It is a disagreeable task for an American re viewer to decide in favor of a foreigner and in opposition to his countryman. Yet we must confess that a more unjust introduction than was signed by Mr. W. A. Wheeler cannot be conceived. While in general terms he talks about the "great industry, research, and general accuracy" of the original author, yet he at once plunges into my improvements, corrections, aud additions. He states that he added oae hun dred Am-'rlean names, and mentions a dozen in alphabetical order. He states that he added some European names, "omitted" and gives us ten, all of w hich could have been omitted and not missed. "In not a lew instances I have been able to supply missiug dates; while of dates erroneously given, or marked as doubtful, I have correcved or v-rifled a still larger number." It will thus be sen that Mr. Wheeler calls the reader's atten tion to the defects, slights all th merit, and takes as much honor to himself as possible. When it is remembered that Mr. Hole compiled twenty thoiaud names, into what insignificance does Mr. Wheeler's hundred additional sink 1 Of all the dutes tilloJ up and CDrrected, we have no testimony except Mr. Wheeler's own words, as he gives us uo means ot distinguishing the original from the revised. Under tho circum stances, we cannot but accuse the American editor of arrogating to himself undue credit, and detraetirg unjustly from the hard-carued honor ol Mr. Hole. To the latter eentleir.an belongs by far the greater part, if not all the credit ot the work. We will not s und Mr. Wheeler's praises; he has done so too freely himself. We must give to Mr. Hole the praise for fur nishing us with as valuable a work a has fallen under our notice, when we rememVu-r its iter. A small volume, almost what may be termed pocket-size, it is a pertect epitome of learning. It should be eonHantly on hand, as it will be ever useful, and may be needed at any moment. It is plainly and ubstantially bound by Hurd A Houghton, and for sale by J. B. Lippineott & Co., of our city. Peyminstbk. A Novel. New York: Cut leton. A pleasantly told tale, ol no particular merit, o.'reept that it does not partake of the sensational order into which Mr. Carleton's publications have lately drifted. It is a story laid in Eng land, and ends happily. The interest frequently flags In the course of the story, jet, as a novel, it will repay the attention of the reader. Ash mead A Evans have it for sale. , m t Gilbert Rvooi (Harper A Brothers), Is the best of the paper-bound novels which have lately come from that house.

Pitcher, No. HOG Chesnnt street, sonds us a copy of " Love's Conflict," by the daughter ol Martin F. Tapper. It is a domestic tale, and seems to abound In a series of conflicts, extremely rigorous, if not so bloody as thoe of Xerxes. After a scries of heroic exertions, the heroine reaches poace at Iat. J. P. Skelly A Co., 732 Chesnut street, have issued two delightful little children's works, Tan Bolton's Cottage" and "The Little Door keeper." They are just the kind to be useful and eutortaln'ng to tho little folks. Messrs.

Peterson A Brothers, have laid before u "Mad Monk ten and other Tales," which, liko everything Mr. Wllkie Collins writes, will well repay peru-al. It is a delightfully Interesting work. Mr. Bayard Taylor is complimented by the Spectator on his "Story of Kennett." Dr. W. A. Hammond hus returned from his foreign tour. tieneral Jubal Early is understood to be writing a history cf his campaigns. Mias Elizabeth Warner, the writer of "The Wide, Wide World," has lately written a uve nile story, which will appear in Harper's Weekly. Its title is "The Three Little Spades." Messrs. Roberts Brothers announce tho third edition of "Eece Homo," which, by tho way, is in its seventh edition in England. M. Kenan is about to publish a new edition of his "Vie de Jesus," with considerable altera tions and an appendix, in which he stales In detail bis reasons for regarding the Gospel ot John as genuine and authentic, contrary to the opinions ot most rationalists. Prol'essjr Tischeudorf, the biblical critic and discoverer of the "Codex Sinaiticus," has received from the Emperor of Austria ihe cross of the order of Francis Joseph. Mr. Dion Boucicault is calling on the Eng lish Covernmeut to make alterations in thij copyright convention with France, so as to protect French dramatic writers against the piracy of their works in England, a proceeding very much like the cry of "stop thief!'' from th light lingered gentry themselves Dr. J. 0. Holland has sold his Interest in the Springfield Republican to Mr. William M. Pone, roy, one ol its editors, and proposes to travel in Europe at some future period. Mr. Ponieroy graduated at Amherst in 1861, aud is an able and accomplished journalist. Mr. Theodore Tilton ha been guilty of mo. desty. Head the following note, uddressed by him to the editor of the Phrenological Journal, and judge: "Mr. S. R. Wells. My Dear Sir: In J answer to your leanest for my bionraphy, I Lave only to say that 1 was born in New Ko'rk city, Octo ber 2, 1m35; that I have as yet done nothing worth mentioning; and that I cannot tell when 1 shall die. This is the whole story. "Yours, truly, Theodore Tilton." Our Historians. A New York literary journal endeavors to give u an idea of what the historical writers ot our country are doing. It ccitalnly lays before us a long list.from which we select the few who have attained reputation: Mr. Baucroit is diligently engaired on the niuih volume ot his "History of the United Statess" but there is very little prospect of its early publication. The important events which crowded the period extending trom the Declara tion of Independence unttl the French treaty, form the sutjects of the volume. Mr. Pierre M. Irving, the respectednephew ol the biographer of Washington, is engaged in preparina lor the press a co'lection of the in edited works of his distinguished uncle, in cluding his pieces in "TneAnalectic Magazine," ot which, for a time, be was the editor. The collection will probably extend to two or three octavo volumes. Mr. Benson J. Lossincr. of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is mivcrsing the Southern State-) tor the pur pose of collecting materials. pLtorlal and lite rary, for ins loilhcomiug "Field-Book ot tho lir hellion." the tirst volume of which is passing tbioiifcb the press of Mr. Alvord.of New York. We have heard nothing lately of his "Field-Book ot the War of 1812," which, it was understood, was completed more than a year since lor Messrs. Hiimer & lirotlier. Mr. Frank Wotc, of Ne w York, scpius to be i as actively nyaticd as ot old ou hi "Rnoellion Record'' tbat ponderous repository of docu- UiPiits relatine to toe line war ol secession, lie in also enlaced, we believe, in tbe preparution lor tlie presH of noine other volumes ou t-beeame Bubieci. but of a more popular character, for one of the creat publi-liiiiK bouses in Hartford. Hon. Richard FroUunghum, of Cbarles ton, Jlass., is said to be entraed on his lonr siispciided hitdory ol thur town. We suspect, however, that lie is preparing lor the ples thut hciics ot lectures on the nationality of the United States which he recently delivered before the Lowell Insiiune, of bo;ton. He is said also, to be tirranaincr for the i-sue of a laio-papir edition ol his "Life and Tirne- of General War ren. "' a well as one of his "Sieue of Roston." 5Ir. Ilcrace Gteelev is sparlnar a much time as no-sible Ir m the tribune for .he completion of his work on the late war. lln workiun-rootu is in tne untie iionse, isew iorK, in me miani ot the great libraries, and he appears to bo (ievotinK several hours daily to this undertaking. Professor Gi'orce W. Greene, of East Green wich, R. 1., ii employed on u bWrapny ot his grandfather, (ieneral Jiaihuniel Greeue, of tin army ot the Revolution. It will probably occupy two volumes octavo. Mr. Will'am Swinton, of Brooklyn, New York, the historian ol "i'he Ainiy ot the Potj inac," is about to commence a work on ''The Twelve Principal liattles of the War," and we have a rif-ht to expect a volume of great merit. i Mr. Henry T. Tuckerman, of New York, havinar succeeded iu tindiuit tvo enterprising publisher for his last two volumes, has been encourtieed to renew his labors on the lite rary remains of the late Doctor John W. Francis. Hon. Churles W. Uohatn, of Salem, Massa chusetts, continues hig labors on a most elabo rate and complete history of witchcralt, with particular reference to tbe well-known excite ment at Kalem. Mr. Henry D. Dawson, of MorrisaLia, N. Y., since his withdrawal Ironi the Gazette, has been cripatri d, as ar as his coutinued poor health has permuted. In drawing to a close several small works which had lingered in the press, and in preparing for tbe Immediate rcissuo of hi '"Bat tles ot the United States," in tbe most sumptuous Btylo of modern typography. Tbe venerable 8aniuel G. Drake, of Roston, has 1 not coinploied new editions ot Calef's aud Mather's works on the Sulciu witch deliiMon, tor Dr. W. E. Woodward's series: and he is now en gaged on "The Old Indian Chronicle," probably lor the same gentleman. Mr. Drake l.as beeii so long and so favorably known to students of American history, that wejeeed say nothing on the probable merits ol these works. 1 Hon. William B. "Reed, of this city, has not been heard from ai b histoiteal writer for seve ral years; but we have tho beBt reasoa foi be lieving that belore many months shall have passed he will have r.'occupled his former field ot labor, and that one, at least, of the writer ot "history," so called, it nut one of tho most distinguished of the lew who are truly ranked as historians, will feel the weight of his sledge hammer blows. The venerable Thomas Ewbank is suffering somewhat from the infirmities of advancing years. He occasionally relieves themonoumy of his lite by writing a short article for the American Artisan, and he row and then lavois ihe Ethnological and Historical sodieties with a more elaborate production. The corref pondent of the New York Bound Table, writing from London, says: "On Wednesday evening last I had the plea sure of attending the seventy-seventh anniver sary dinner ol the Literary Fund.

It seemed to him, he said, that th profession of letters was essen tially a thiCB which belonged to a peculiar stve of society, to that condition of society in which literature wat nascent, and iu which the literary man was naturally looked up to an soinutomg pe culiar, lie o iid that he preferred to regard the profcslon of liternrv men as leading to a time when literatiue would come wiih'n the classi fication of no particular pretession, but would be distributed as Ireely and widely as conversa tion, lie made some important allusions to the literary activity of England to-day, and tho con tinual outpouring of articles any one of which might have produced a sensation, and som ot them a reputation, tilty years ago. Lord Hough ton, w ho perbapB is more venerated among us in America as Kicbard MoucKton Milncs, is a good, straightforward speaker, and has the merit of never talking nonseusc." SPECIAL NOTICES.
