LITERATURE.
I.EVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
Lavs Vmfmih, and Otokr roast" akd IUllam.
Ft Algernon Charles Swinburne. Carlson:
Mow York.
Pome jear or to ago, we had occasion to give
tir estimate of Mr. Swinburne's talent as a poet,
In our review of his tragedy of Chatttlard, ' At
tfcat time, after a careful examination of him
genius as evinced by his book, we formed so low
n estimate of his ability as to deem him an
ttcrlyover-eftlmated jourtman.. The book be-
fore w, wiyie it has lowered him in our opinion,
in one rcepect has caused ns to retract our Judir
aatnt of his power; and we are now frank to
acknowledge that whatever we may see to con
demn in the work, we give its author full credit
lot ability. Many of the poems are full of
re, and, with but three or four exceptions
woriDy of particular notice, rich in thought
and diction. Why the collection should be en
titled "Laus Veneris" is to us unknown. The
verses from which It derives its title are not so
prominent, either for theme or length, as to war
rant tuch a distinction in their lavor. Homo
comprehensive name which would have
revealed at once the tone of the productions
would have been much more appropriate, as, tor
instance, 'Twsion Bclvidere," or some such in
dicative title. As Mr. Swinburne had achieved
a wide-spread reputation in England for the pos
nesnion ot poetic talents of the highest order, we
ball devote considerable space to the examina
tion of his latest work.
As guide for us in the formation of our
judgment, Mr. Carleton has kindly enclosed in
his copy sent us an extract from the London
Examiner, which assures us that "there Is a
music of strength in these poems, outspoken
honesty, n sturdy love of ireedom, earnestness,
pottle insight ,Hruth, and beauty of expression
bejond anything attained to by other of the
young poets of the dny. In some ot
the poeins are the passions of youth fearlessly
xpressco, and stirring dopths that have been
stirred hitherto by no poet in his youth.
He is a young poet with sterling qualities, and
the outcry that has been made over his volume
U not very creditable to his crltico. It
in the ferment of good wine, and we must think
they are no skilled judges of the wine of thought
who shake their beads over it."
Even at the liitk of being deemed "no skilled
(uriges of the wine of thought," we must be
found among those who "shake their he a .is
tiver it." But a week slne we were called upon
to pronounce our severest censure on an Im
moral novel, "UriflUh Gaunt." We deemed it
not fitted for any household. We deprecated
the increasing number of works ot fiction of the
elass lo which it belougs, aod hoped that we
would not soon again have occasion to express
as much disgust at a so-called standard work.
Our wish bas not been realized. If "Gritlit u
Gaunt'' was immoral 1n the comparative degree,
"Laus Veneris" is so in the superlative. We.have
seldom come across, even in the works tabooed
in all decent society, any one in which the fig
leat of decency was more reck lessly cast aside,
and lu3t, lu all its nudity, exposed and gloried
over. Again and again, in the perusal of the
book, have we had occasion to close its pages,
and pause In perfect surprise over the glaring
tOiinoiality displayed. The London Examiner
may call the style "a fearless expression of the
passions of youth," and talk about "stirring the
depths," and all such journalistic metaphors.
We give it a good Saxon criticism, and say
plainly that the tone of the great majority of the
poems is lewd and utterly disgusting. It is time
that such works should cease to be palmed oil on
the public under the names of authors of good re
pute, and with the imprint of respectable
publishers on their title-pages. We sometimes
ieel the need of a censorship when we see the
Ireedoin of the press prostituted in pandering to
the worst passions, and the debauching of purity
under the disguise of ''stirring hidden depths.'
Mr. Swinburne has written poems whlci no
pore-minded man could write; and a to Mr.
Carleton, we will speak of him anon.
With the exception of some four pieces on
Miscellaneous subjects, the contents of '-Laus
Veneris" divide themselves into poems in which
the seasons are depicted as in love with each
other, and jKM-ms in which laments are utt?red
ever dead lovers. Throusrh all of the work a
spirit of courtesan Immorality abounds, and the
imposition to pure conjugal affection pervades
the entire book. We are again and again
assured that there "is one 6in worth simla;;'
and all are advised to attack innocence, and
innocence urged to yield to the importunities of
vice. Some works depict deeds of sin; and by
making their authors end wretched lives, eeak
to excuse the work on the plea of its aoril.
But no such palliation is attempted by Mr.
Swinburne. We arc urged to tin because it is
pleasant, and assured that "when we kiss it,
ein ceases to be sin." Tnis may be very well
It.r the nature of French morality, where a
manage de convenance is no bond at all in the
ee of either contrasting party, but it does not
unit our puritanical notions. Hence, while
"Laus Veneris" may be popular in "sunny
France," it will excite only disgust in moral
America.
We will let our readers iutlge of the book for
tnr anelves. We will take at random any piece
which first falls under our eye. We open the
"took at page 109, and thee are the three verses
we find on that page:
"Ah, one thing worth bediming.
One thread in life worth spinning,
An sweet, one sin worth sinning ,
With all the whole soul's will;
To lull you till one stilled you.
To kiss you till one killed you.
To feed you till one tilled you,
Sweet lipB, if love could nil;
"To hunt sweet Love and lose him
lietween white arms and bosom,
between the bud aud blossom,
between your throat aud chin;
To say of fhume what is it r
Of virtue we can miss i;
Of sin we can but kiss it,
And it's no longer sin:
"To feel the strone soul, tfrickt-n
Throueb fleshly pulses quicken
Beneath swift slgbs that thicken
Soft hand j and lips that smite;
Lips that no love enn tire,
With hands that sting like Ore,
Weaving the weh Desire
To snare the bird Delight."
W-e ask our readers, Is such a work, of which
this is but a nther mild extract, fit to enter the
Iioates of onr pople, lie on their tables, and be
ia by their daughters 7
Mr. Swinburne ui'int "have a very tender

ir.g such fair damsels, who, as he expresses it,
never knew "all the stings and all the sums or
love's delight. "iAUis whole book teems with
his pity. He acts on the poetic idea, "It Is
better to have l&vod and lost than never to have
toved at all," and the kind of love he is continu
ally depicting as most desirable Ib an illicit,
dishonorable affection, which ends only in ruin.
In fuct, he distinctly declares that with mar
riage all the joy of love disappears, and that,
par consequence, the only kind which ! to be
fostered is that which docs not ena .
altar. In ' Dolores" on pane 178, we find the
following atrocious utterance:
"For the crown of our life as u ciosts
Is darkness, the fruit tnereoi uusi.
No thorns gd as deep as a rose s.
And love is more cruel than lust.
Time turns the old days to derision,
Our loves into corpses or tews;
And tnairiage and deatli and division
Make barren our lives."
If these be the doctrines entertained by lr.
Swinburne, wo think that on the waters of the
"Great Salt Lake" he had "better paddle his
light canoe," and find with the Latter-day SainU
a realization -of his desire; for there free-love
reiens, ana marriage need not reauce your
yielding love to eltherja corpse or a wife. How
ever, as one-seventh of all the children born in
Great Britain have a difficulty In tracing who
were their fathers, possibly the poet peed not
leave perflde Albion to enjoy his theory.
Mr. Swinburne has a great weakness for
goldcu hair," especially when it has ttaa "scent
of the South" in it. We do not know very defi
nitely how that extract smplls; but if it is
generally found in the daughters of the South,
we should think it Is seldom met with in golden
hair. Although in the book we are told about
the beauties of golden hair and blood-red lips,
lie gustibus won dispxdandum ; and we, for one,
don't admire the combination.
The author's fancy for red is really
astounding. In one verse he goes into an
ecstacy, and thus describes his Inamorata:
"Your feet In the full-grown grasses
Moved sott as a weak wind blows;
You pass me as April passes,
Witt) face made out of a rose."
We cannot imagine a face made out of a rose,
but if we felt an interest in physiognomy, we
would like to know whether it was a bud or
full-blown, and whether It was a red or a yellow
rose which was used in the manufacture. But,
laying all jesting aside, we must condemn the
"Laus Veneris" as utterly unfitted tor the
jierusal of any respectable society.
Of late Mr. Carleton, of Sew York, has been
nublishinir a class of works which has done
him much harm, and places him uuder a fear
fill responsibility. The position of a publisher
is always a delicate one, but when he so grossly
violates good taste and decency as he has done
in the present' work, he deserves the severest
reprobation. Unless that gentleman changes
his style of publications, he will find himself in
decided disrepute; and a character once lost is
hard thing to regain. We give htm fair warn.
irnr that be will lose eood patronage if a "Laus
Veneris" comes from his press in the future.
In regard to those poems which do not fall
under the denomination of sickly sentimental,
we find them of more than average ability,
His tribute to Walter Savage Lnndor is worthy
of a place amid a better collection. Its best
verses ruu:
'Back to the flower-town, side by side.
The bright months brine,
New-born, the bridceroom and the bride,
Freedom and spring.
"In many a tender wheet-n plot
Floweis that were dead
Live, and old suns revive; bat not
That holier bead.
"I came as one whose thoughts half liuj.fr,
Half run before;
The youngest to the oldest sitger
That England bore.
"ltound him whom I shall, not rind
Till all prief end.
In holiest ace our niig'utiest mind,
Father and iriend.
"Move thee no more; but love at If n-i
And reverent hart
May move thee, royal and released,
j-oui, as tuou an.
"And thou, his Florence, to thy trust
Receive and keep,
Keep sate his dedicated dot,
His sacred sleep.
";io shall thy lovers, come from far,
M'X with thy name.
As morning-star with evening-star,
His taintless lame."
"Song in Times of Revolution," dated 18C0,
does not appear to have much sense, although
it runs smoothly, while a fulsome poem to
Victor Hugo Is noticeable only for its length.
We think the best effort in the book is
"Dolores," which contains much force, with a
good style, high Older of metaphor and low
order of moralo. As a typographical effort, the
poems are very beautiful, and are decidedly the
best of all the works that ha"e issued from the
pjess of Mr. Cavlcro n.

The work before ns covers pretty thoroughly
the ground indicated by its title, and is a care
fully prepared digest, as well as a tolerably full
explanation, of all the technicalities of book
keeping. The author has been for a number of
years head of the Quaker City liusiness College,
and is qualified by experience to write under
standing. The house of Sower, Barnes & Potts,
publishers of standard school-bo )ks, and its
name on the title-page, is the bent recommenda
tion that the work can have.

not see anything so wonderful in the little work
before ns. It is an attempt to be funny, and
would probably make a child of ten jf are old
smilo feebly. If a gentleman of Mr. Carleton's
supposed culture, on a visit to Peru, saw nothing
better to sketch than the little comedies which
he elves us, the conclusion is Irresistible that
either Tern is not worth a visit, or Mr. Carleton
is not an observant traveller. The wood
cuts are almost equal those which we
weekly give our -readers in our Saturday
Supper-Table Series. We treat of the same style
of subject, and were it not that we might be
accused of partiality, we would rather prefer
our sketches as works of art, to the "perfec
tion" given us by the New York publisher.
Bulbs. By Edward Sprague Rand, Jr. Doston:
J. E. Tilton & Co.
A more beautifully printed and really useful
work has seldom fallen under our notice. The
work is another of a series of garden guides
which the house of Mr. Tilton is in the course
of publishing. It is a pleasantly written and
valuable adviser on all questions in relation to
bulb and roots, from which spring such fami
liar plaats as the hyacinth, tulip, lily, and the
like. It Is evidently compiled by one who
knows whereof he writes, and is so handsomely
got up that it will be an ornament to any centre
table. To all our citizens, and especially the
ladles, who desire to embellish their parlors
with flower", we recommend the book of Mr.
Rand.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from London, U lls us ot a tierman view
of Ralph Waldo Kmerson. He say?:
"Herman firimm's 'New; Kssays uber Knnst
una Literature, are becinniug to attract some
attcution from scholar?, although nobody has
offered to translate tbcm tor the British public.
The most eutertainine articles are those on
Kmerson, Humboldt, and Goethe in Italy. That
on Mnersou is nrsi m quality, as it is in us
position lu the volume, aud is attracting con
siderable atieution in Herman? on which ac
count, as well as because tne many among your
readers who are also likely to be readers of
Kmerson. will be clad to know how the tsase
marches on In the old World, I send you a lew
original translations lrom it. It opens thus:

"The writer then goes into a long metaphysi
