0 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGitAHI. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1807. LITERATURE. KLVIKW OF NJSW BOOKS. Kt. Elmo. By Augusta J. Evans. Hew York: Carloton. Miss Evans lift! a tJ perceptible penchant for raffed Httlo Sir,s who arc picked up In the street, adopted by wealthy, childless ladles, and win the hearts of all the gentle men with whom they come In contact. Since "Ueulah" was to ted a success we have had a accession of "Beulahs," and now when another appears, under the title of Edna Earl, we think wc arc Justified In our loss of patience. The authoress of "Kutledgc" pave us three minor prototypes of that hero In her late novels. Charlotte Bronte was not con tent with one "Jane Eyre," but, like the scrip ture of old, she madi) Jane a type of a class. And now Miss Evan?, after having plagarlzed "Beulah" from "Jane Eyre," repeats herself, under the euphonious, but rather too pretty to be natural, name of Edna Earl. Let us, however, sketch the plot. Edna Earl, an orphan, and grandchild of a blacksmith, starts on an expedition to make her living, at the mature age of twelve. She Is peaceably going along in a railroad car, When the customary whist le, flash, crash occur, and all Is darkness. When she comes to, she finds herself at Le Bocage, a stately country-seat, whose mistress has conveyed her mysteriously from the scene of the acci dent fehe is adopted into the family, which consists only of Mrs. Murray and her son St. Elmo, the hero of the novel, who might pass for a fair photograph of "Robert le Diable" or "Mephistopheles." He is about thirty years of age, utterly disgusted with life a cynic, a skeptic, a brute, a gentleman who tyrannizes over woman and servants, and Tents his ill-humor on dogs and cattle, but who, we are assured, is grandly great, oi ex tensive learning, with a weakness for Coptic literature, Eastern fables, and Grecian myths. Tears come into his eyes at the beauties of Ovid, but he de clines to waste them on a doting and distressed mother. Such is the picture of the oectu ideal of Southern gentlemanly excel lence. He being thirty and Edna thirteen, it is only natural that he should fall in love with her. After showing his affection by cursing her and uttering dreadful maledic tions, and exposing her to temptations, he suddenly leaves home, and is gone for four years, to the intense relief of every one. He returns unexpectedly, and exhibits his affec tion by breaking nearly every bone in Edna's body by bis fierce embrace. Meanwhile she has aspired to literary fame, has contributed articles to magazines on such pleasing and feminine subjects as ''Coptic Literature," "Who Smote the Athenian Gods?" and an essay on Druids. She has also conquered the hearts of several gen tlemen, and several fortunes have been laid at her feet and refused. When she sees St. Elmo return, she feels bhe is in love with Mm, and wbeuha offers to marry her, she, with out any definite reason, declines his hand, and goes to New York as a governess. Here the editor of the magazine is caught in her toils, but shares the fate of his predecessor, also a travelling nobleman result ditto. In fact, every eligible man is a suitor. Her way of refusing offers is neat and unique. She re quests her lover to turn the conversation, and dilates for two solid pages on the mysteries Of nature, or the fate of Alcibiades, or, if in a, cheerful mood, on the flora of the post tertiary period. Id fact, she is a confirmed pedant and blue-stocking. She retires, how ever, near Le Bocage to see a dying friend. St. Elmo tells her the story of his past life. lie has killed a false friend ; he has deceived half-a-dozen innocent girls; two have had haemorrhages, and died from his unkindness ; one has sought refuge in a nunnery, while he sardonically smiled at her when u she took the veil ; and with a few more blandishments and natural inci dents of a gentleman's lile, seeks to win Edna's heart. Again he is refused. She then has the heart disease, and he, with strange per sistency, again renews his offer, and is ac cepted. As it is evident to every medical , reader that she is in the last stage of peri- carditis, and could not, if the symptoms be true as described, last many weeks, we do not think that the future prospect of the married couple dazzles us with its bril liancy or promise ot happiness. St. Elmo and Edna are surrounded with a multitude of characters, who are introduced to epiead the story out, but are withdrawn every few chapters to make way for new ar rivals. This continued changing of dramatis jpersona is a grave fault, and shows want of confidence in the delineative powers of the writer, nd certainly dlagusta the reader. The opening chapter makes us believe that the duellist to whom we are introduced is to he a leading personage, until experience teaches us that he is of no account whatever. There Is no proper arrangement of charac ters, and h isdifflcult for us to tell, from his Introduction, whether an Individual is to play the part of a star actor or is merely a wpernumerary. Again, it is strange that St. Elmo is every where where he should not be. Edna never eeema to open a book but he is behind a cur tain or lying 'beside a mummy watching her. Speaking of mummies reminds us that Miss Ivans' ideas of a luxurious study are about the best things in the book. One more re mark. -It certainly does not add to the at traction of woman to see her take a lively Interest la philology and Coptic literature; and to hav gome hundred pages of the novel devoted wilh. didactic discussion, offers a premium to wat the boys call "skipping" a doien pages at time. ' To wan up ou judgment, "St. Elmo" is JtJt fceueatb "Beulah- in literary ability . It is the old conventional novel of .Sir Eoberto de Travcaux style oi hero, In which the cen tral figure makes his crimes and his principles fascinating. The conversion of St. Elmo, and his acceptpnee of saccnlotal roles, is simply an absurdity, after his character Is delineated as it is. In fact, "St. Elmo," though possessing , considerable interest, is turgid, not elegant In style, pedantic and far-retched, and if the authoress would take the.advice of Mr. Waring, as given to Edna, to herself, sho would learn how to make a much better novel than the best type o1' "St, Elmo" could ever hope to be , Amebican Leaves: Notes of Thought and Lifk. By Samuel Osgood. New York: Harper & Brothers. Philadelphia Agents: J. B. Lippincott & Co. We confess a partiality for the essay. Under the form of a treatise can be imparted more real information, in a more pleasant style and with greater effect, than can be attempted either In the historical or romantic style of composition. A good essayist brings himself down as it were into a familiar friend ship with his reader, which does away with all attempts at superiority, and opens the mind to receive what he has to say, without keep ing up its fortifications of self-esteem against pedantry. One ot the most pleasant of Ameri can lesaylsts is Mr. Tuckerman. But Mr. Osgood also claims favorable noiice. The work before us consists of a series of rambling thoughts too loosely scat tered around, and touching on such every-day topics as "Our Old Pew," "School Influences," "American Boys," "For tunes," "Learning Statesmanship," "Off-Hand Speaking," and the like. The longest of these essays Is on "OA-Hand Speaking,' and It is probably the best contribution in the book. It impresses on the young reader the neces sity of being a fluent extempore Jorator, but while giving sound advice as to its import ance, deals in glittering generalities in regard to the means. The article on "Boys," a topic fraught with latent power, which should evoke the best abilities of the essayist, is not handled as we would have desired. The author forgets all about boys after the first few pages, and devotes himself to married life, small homes, and the danger to which the retail trade is subjected. Alt he says is very true, but has no immediate connection with the subject. I "The Flag at Home" is also a good essay, while we must place "School Influence" among the lowest in the scale of merit. The work, however, taking it altogether, is well worth perusal. It is pleasant, familiar, and inculcates nothing but recognized truth. We would like to see it in the hands of our young men. Those who have a false estimate of life, and look obliquely at the social distinc tions cieatedby a self-constituted caste, would do well to become familiar with the homo truths of Mr. Osgood's teachings, and have some of their glass idols shattered by com mon sense. Most of the articles in "Ameri can Leaves" have appeared, within the last three years, in Harpers Monthly Magazine. Gum Sekikb. The Sapphire. Edited by Epes Sargeant. Boston: Shorey. Phila delphia Agents : J. B. Lippincott & Co. Notwithstanding the maUapropos title given to the little work before us, it is possessed of considerable merit. It recommends itself solely because of the taste displayed iu its compilation, for it makes no pretension to originality. A number of fugitive pieces, tales, poems, and the like, are thrown together, and made decidedly interesting reading. It is one of a series named from the ''Onyx," the "Emerald," and all the pre cious stones. Why the one before us is called the "Sapphire," is one of the mysteries into which we are not admitted. Jessie Reed, and other Poems. Br Miss A. I. Ambler. Blue and gold edition. Philadelphia: S. D. Burlock, 1867. This little volume Is very suitable for pre sentation, and we are glad to recognize in several of the waifs signs of true poetic feel ing. Miss Ambler is a very young lady, but she is not very precocious, and therefore deserves the more credit for her efforts. The poems "Richmond," "Blind Bertha," "Cha rity," and several others, exhibit a delicate taste and aptness for versification. "Jessie Reed" Is simply the little story ot a nice little girl's heart, done up in neat little stanzas that will be read with pleasure by all the young Americans who may see it. The book is beautifully printed, and the publisher has put it before the public in a very attractive style of binding, and as the work of a young Philadelphia poetess, at least, the book should have a large sale. IIistoetIof Phil ade lphi a. Mr .Thomp son Westcott, editor of the Sunday Dispatch, has commenced the publication of a "History of Philadelphia" in that journal. Mr. West cott Is eminently fitted for undertaking 6uch a task. In addition to a familiarity, which few possess, with ail the details of early Philadelphia history, he has a thorough plan of systematizing his work, which "will greatly increase its value. His style is clear and graphic, and the' subject to be treated one which has not been properly handled by any historian, Watson's desultory "Annals" being the only work on the same topic which can be called standard. An important international meeting of the booknellers and publishers of the three north ern kingdoms Sweden, Norway.aud Denmark was recently held at Stockholm. The asoetnbly numbered H5 members, and comprised, in audi tion to booksellers proper, printers and paper makers, a few men of letters, and amonjr them Professor Arrhenius, of Stockholm, and Profes sor Daa, of Christiana. One of the oddest re sult of the meeting was that, though each speaker spoke his own language Swedish or Danish, as the case might be they were ..a n f . . .. 1 1 ! .. : 1. 1 . . n. . . .1 , i i Imutuuuy uiM-iugiuit:, - me uuuitsihiui euca othf when we epk, uid JVofeseor Om, "li u t tt is not the W' nt.rt, write; fand the. ronton it tbat wh?r wo wiite we nro jit(iaitit.''

Professor Maurice, the newly elected Pro fessor of Casuistry, Moral Philosophy, aud Moral Theo'ogy, delivered his inaugural lecture in the Senate House, Cambridqe. The Trofcssor divided his subject into three heads, represent Ing the several departments of his professor ship, and tracing the history and functions of each one of them. In discussing Casuistry he took occasion to vindicate tho term from cer tain misapplications of it, as he conceived them to be, and stated that Socrates and all who tried to solve the questions which arose in the mind on matters of conscience and opinion, were really and lightly casuists. Aribtotle be con sidered to be rather a moral philosopher than a casuist. He gave an Interesting sketch also of the opinions of the Mciliteval schoolmen and of the Jesuits. Another new poet, named A. Gordon Mid dleton, has appeared. We quote at second-hand a specimen taker, we believe, from "The Pil grim Poet:" 'In day's rolden stream the crckatoo's scream licounds through tho wooded glade, The bright parroquet, and the crow, black Jet, For coToit wing far to the shade. "Kangaroos, Dprtght, azo, as with affright, lo see a wanderer there, The loreste-a all bear the alarum call, And hie them to neat cr lair." "Mr. Middleton," says the Alhenceum, benevo lently, "can write better lines than these." Mr. Hatley Frere, the venerable expositor of prophecy, died on the 8th of December, at the vicarage of Shiilington, Bedfordshire. It was about 1812 that Mr. Frere first commenced the study of prophecy, and although the death of the First and Second Napoleons seemed at the time to have exploded bis Napoleonic theory of interpretation, he adhered to it through all adverse appearances, and continued even to the last to look on the present Emperor of the Fiench as destined to fulfil his explanations as to the downfall of the temoornl pnwor of tho papacy and the brief reiu of anti-Christ, as preparatory to the restitution of all things. A book Is about to be published by Didler, of Paris, which cannot fail to attract the atten tion of the political and literary worlds, It is tb "Political Correspondence of the former President of the Council at Turin, who, after Novaro, saved at the same time the nattonal independence and the constitutional liberty of his country, and who, with Count Cavour. wai the chief author of the emancipation of Italy the Marquis Massimo d'Azeglio. His corres pondence, written in French, embraces the important period ot Italian regeneration, from 1847 to 1865. Widdleton has nearly ready, to appear In January, "Philip II," by Charles Gayarre, of which Mr. Bancroft says in an introductory note to the book, "that it is a work written with cure and vivacity, with a mind superior to the influences of superstition, and comprehen sive in its study of the causes and consequences of events." Mr.J Gayarre, Senator from Loui siana, is well known as the author of the his tory oi that State a new volume of which, em bracing the American Domination to 1801, is to appear at the same time as "Philip II." Dr. Rheuihold Pauli, recently expelled from the chair of History at the University of Tu bingen on account of his pro-Pruesian sym pathies, is engaged in bringing- out a book to be called "Simon det Montfort, Earl of Leicester; the Founder ol tbe House of Commons." Dr. Leitner, orthe Lahore College, In India, has collected, in the central reidons of Thibet, vocabularies of the hitherto unknown dialects of Kurdiiitan. He proposes to read next year, before the Geographical Society, an account of his travels. W. Carew Hazlitt is preparing for the prc-s two volumes of the Old English Ballads, about one hundred and thirty in number. Now that Evans, and the older three-volume collection that preceded aud no doubt bugsested "Percy's Reliquee," are out of the market. Mr. Haz lltt's new edition will be welcome. He will not include m it any of the ballads in Bishop Percy's folio; manuscript, now being printed undor the superintendence of Mr. Hales, Professor Childs, and Mr. Furmval. Just row there are sold in Paris and else where small packets of cards purporting to be "tickets for Heaven;" "billets d'entree pour leclel." They are. published by authority, to wlV-by C. Lataille, Editeur Pontificate, tRue Garanciere, Paris, and consist of sixteen em bossed cards, on each of which is an engraviug depicting the particular mode of reaching Heaven for which that ticket is good. M. do Lamartine has been appealing again to tho public, asking them to subscribe to the first four volumes of bis "Memoirs," which are finished and ready for press. In the event of his not living to complete the entire work, these will form, he states, a separate series. M. de Montalembert, it is announced, is convalescent, after his long and painful illneas Tbe third velume of his "History of the Monks of the West" is just out.

Emanuel Swodenborir i His Life and Writinns," by William White, will be published in January. Mr. E. J. Ejre, lato Governor of Jamaica, Is busy on a "History of the Jamaica Insurrec tion." Cardinal Voussct, Archbtihopofllhtlini, The French papers announce the death of this distinguished divine, in the Archlcpiscopal Talace at Uhelms, France, on the 22d ol Decem ber, 18G6. Cardinal Gousct was born in 1702, and, his father being a farmer, ho labored at the plough before entering college to obtain a cleilcal education. Soon after being ordained as a priest he became known as a man of ex tensive Icaiuine anl consistent piety, n 1835 Le became Bishop of PeriuRcux,and on the death of Mou8eineur de I.attl, in 1840, was promoted to the Archbishopric of Rheims. In lu&O he was created a Cardinal. As a prelate of the Catholic Church in France he won a wide spread reputation, and his death is regarded as little short ot a calamity. George III and the Barclays. The origin of Messrs. Barclay k Co., whose founders were linen-drapers In Chcapstde, la rife with interest. It Is related that on Lord Mayor's day, 1760, Gcoigc HI made a state visit to the city. There was, irom political causes, some irritation among the people, aud much tumult in the great thoroughiarc between St. Paul's and tho Bauk, so that one of tbe horses In the royal car riago became restive, aud the King and Queen were in apparent danger. In this emergency, David Barclay (a Quaker) rushed to the rescue, and addressing the King, said: "Wilt thee alight, George, and thy wife Charlotte, and come into my house and fee the Lord Mayor's show?" The King, with many of his family, like Nicholas, the late Emperor ot all the Russlas, bad a profound respect for the Society of Friends; he accepted the Invitation of tbe draper, - and went to the first floor. The cavalcade havlDg passed, the Quaker went thiough the ceremony of introduction, which, although opposed to the formalities in general, David Barclay on the occasion minutely performed King George of England, Priscilla Barclay my wife Priscilla my wife, George King ot England, etc. On taking his leave the King most courteously invited the Quaker to visit him at the Palace of St. James. At the next levee, David Barclay went lo court with his son John. When the King saw them he threw aside the restraint of etiquette, and gave David a hearty shake of tbe hand. One of the King's inquiries to David was, "What do you intend to do with your son John? Let him come here, and I will find him a good and pro fitable employment." This offer was, however, civilly, and perhaps wisely, declined. The descendants ot David Barclay subsequently became great brewers as well as bankers, and founded the world-renowned firm of Barclay & Perkins. The two great banking and brewing firms are at the present time composed almost entirely ot the descendants of the linen-draper's of Cbeapside, who entertained George III. Fearn'a Money Market.
