6 LITERATURE. IlKVIKW OF NKW HOOKS. AlTCXANOKK II. STKPIIKN8 IN PUBLIC AND I'kivatk. J5y Henry Cleveland. Ameri can PubhHhing House, No. D07Alinor8trect. Our country has produced few more re markable men than Alexander Hamilton Mtephens. A pigmy In stature, weighing only ninety pounds, wilh a voico that would make n admirable falsetto, and an appearance boyish In the extreme, he possesses an Intel lect second to none, with an oratorical power not surpassed by any of our living public men, and has a personal popularity not easily accounted for. This remarkable man, after a lifelong devotion to the cause of the Union, acted in a manner so utterly inconsistent, that we can And no palliation unless we accept the absurd theory of a tottering in tellect, or the doctrine ol a lifelong deception. His career and character, therefore, are well worth a disinterested examination. But this they do not receive at the hand of Mr. Clcaveland. The author of the work before us is blindly prejudiced in lavor ot Mr. Stephens. He has placed that statesman on a pinnacle, and expects all to fall down and worship him. He positively carries the lecling of "JenkiniHh" interest so far as to describe the pantry of Mr. Stephens' house, the statues in therrooms, and the engravings on the walls. He carries this spirit to such an excess as to make that part ol the work which relates to the life of the Vice-President of the Confederacy actually nauseating. The rest of the book is a careful compilation. It is a complete edition of all Mr. Steven' speeches, and an admirably arranged exposi tion of his public life. The resume of a work is no place to pais judgment on the political career of a states man. We purpose only to speak of the exe cution of the work. As far as it pretends to originality, we cannot commend iu But that portion which is selected is a valua ble contribution to the political history of the past quarter of a century. We can, however, recommend the work because of its excellent typographj and capital illustrations and fac simile autograph letters. It is neatly bound, and will probably have an extended sale in the Southern States. Elfments of Akt Criticism. By E. V. Samson. D.D. Philadelphia: J.B. Lip pincott & Co. It is necessary, in order that the taste of our public be cultivated to a proper apprecia tion of the line arts, that standard works ot instruction be laid before them. A few days since we had occasion to commend l'al grave's "Essays on Art," and to regret that a large portion of their point was lost becnuse American readers were not familiar with the references. The work before us pos sesses all the advantages of Palgrave's production, with a thousand improvements, as well as the additional force which is imparted by a familiarity with the schools of which the writer speaks. The work before us is a thorough treatise on the entire subject of art criticism. It commences with the funda mental principles of a correct appreciation of art, and gradually leads the reader from rudiments to the higher departments. The book, taken all together, is the most accept able of any which has issued from the presses of any American publisher for many months. In the chapter devoted to the narration of the leading woiks of art, wo lind the lollowin.sr admirable description of the dome of bt. Petei's: "The patron Saint of Routt; was Peter, who from the nine of Hie Implant of tbe ti rut Human convert to Christianity, A.. 1). 4:1, to his deal u, A. U.

Tuoueh brother arusts wrote to him, -Fiy lroui the unjrraielul Bti'ivlon which is unahle to hpprociiite your ten us.' M. Anirelo was not the man to yield to tkieud or toe. He enlarge ! ilra uiante's nluii, especially lor the dome, addiui; jrieuter length to the traivept, and plvma; adtlei strength to the piers which were to support tho dome, uttering tbe memorable declaration. -I will bane the Puntheon in the air.' Witu yet irreuter intiependence he chanaretl the groiiuit idot from the Roman cross which successive Popes had naturally required for the form of the ;reek cross, whose lroui projection would allow the entire dome to be seen lroui below. AI. Anpclo pusued his work uu his own plan lor seventeen years, until his death at the ane of eighty-nine, A. i). 1503, at which time the drum wu6 ready lor the dome. Succeeding architects for more than sixty years followed Michel Arifjelo's plans, except in the extension of tao nave co as to make the form that of the Koman crohs. It was in A. I). lU2(i, about one humlred and epveniy-dve years utter the tir.st desiirn, that the structure was so tar completed as to be dedicated: while the circular colonnade was aiided about forty years still later. "The length of 'ibis Immense editiee 1s 013V feet throueu the nave and cnolr; Us breadth tbrc.ueh the transepts is 44'J.V leet, an i the beipht of tbe ceiling in the n'ave is 152j feet.

" Dr. Samson has done a good work towards elevating the taste of our people by his valu able contribution. While the chapters de voted to specialties are valuable to artists, the general reader will find the historical and critical portion of the work amply rich enough in lore and common sense to repay a careful study. It is neatly got up by Messrs. Lippincott, Idalia. By OuhUu Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. This authoress ( for it is certain that it is a woman's pen that has contributed so much frivolity to our recent literature) Is notico ulile only for her prolixity, and in this last work for her want of originality. ".Strath more" was a good book in Its execution. ''Chandos" was too much like "Strafhmorc" to be possessed of great merit, but "Idalia'" is too much like "Chandos" to claim any merit at all. It is a mild sort ot tale of fashionable life, treating ol all sorts of impossible charac ters, and persons of no at traction, except the quality of the kaleidoscope, the ever-shii'tiug scenes it presents. The heroine is an absur dity, the hero ditto, and all the subordinate characters as unlike nature as could be con ceived in the wild fantasies ot the female brain. IiOItHRT Sckkkxk. A Xovcl. By W. A. Hammond. I'hiladel phia : J. B. Lippincott & Co. A pleasantly written fiction, rather above the ordinary average, yet not noted for any particular brilliancy. The conversations in troduced ore natural, which is a great recom mendation, but the story itself is hardly suf ficiently elaborated to warrant much recom mendation. The author will probably, in some future eflort, attain a high position as a writer, but the present volume lacks that symmetry which onlv practice can give. Antonivs: A Dramatic I'oem. Bv J. C. Haywood. Xew York : Ilurd & Houghton. The merit first exhibited in '"Ilerodias" is still further developed iu "Antonius." While the force of certain passages in the latter fall far beneath that of the former, yet, taking it all together, we think the literary execution of the latter superior to that of the former. Both are old-lime tragedies of feudal or obso lete customs. The plot is laid in the days of Gallic warfare; its heroes are of tue Koman republic: its Druidical priests, its Germanic savages, and expired customs, all lend a pow erful interest to the real strength ot the tale . It is handsomely issued by Ilurd & Hough ton, and is a pleasant resting place iu the sea of fiction and ephemeral production? of the iny. 'Leoxoka." Air. Charles J. Lukens, of this city, has undertaken the task of com piling and arranging lor publication, in one volume, all the various translations of Berger's 'Leonor:." that have appeared in different languages, with tiates, names of transl.itois. etc. Aside from the intrinsic beauty ot the ballad, thus rendered in vari ous tongues, this work is a literary curiosity, as showing the wonderful variety of ex pression which may hi gtvca to l.ao s.iui ; thought. The House of E. B. Treat & (Jo. an nounce '-Farragut and Our Naval Com manders," by J. T. neadley. From the first chapter, wc judge that the work will pos sess considerable merit. It is clearly printed, handsomely i:lustrated, and wiitten in that plain narrative style which characterizes all the productions of Mr. Ilcadley's pen. As it undertakes to cover a field not yet occupied, it will be an agreeable adJition to our litera ture of the war. Tue Open Pol a it Ska. The long pro mised work of Dr. Hayes;, narrating his ad ventures iu the Polar Sea, i3 at last about to be published. The expedition ol which this is the record sailed from the United States, under the command of Dr. Hayes, in the spring of 1S00, with the object of reaching and exploring the open Polar Sea. This important geographical question Dr. Hayes has definitely settled. "I have shown," says he, "that the open sea exists." Having reached the shores of the Polar Sea, Dr. Hayes continued his explorations beyond those of his distinguished predecessor, the late Dr. Kane, and he suc ceeded in planting the American flag upon land,discovered by himsell, nearer to the Morth Pole than any other known land on the plobe pushing his observations as far north as latitude 82 degrees 45 minutes, or within seven and a quarter degrees of tho pole. This most northern point of known land was named Capo Union. The voyage of Dr. Hayes wai attended with dangers and embarrassments unusual even lor that region of perilous exploration. The vessel of the Expedition (a small Bchooner of only 1;J3 tons burden) was several times caught in the closing ice-fields, and seriously injured, and was finally bo badly crushed as to be little better than a wreck ; yet, in spite of these drawbacks, Dr. Hayes ultimately succeeded in his main purpose with sledges. The Expedition returned to the United States in October, 1801. It will account tor the dtiay in publishing this liis- is ii ms voyage, mat jjr. naves was actively engaged in the Medical Depart ment of the army from the period of his return boms until some time after tho close of the war. Since that period he lias been occupied with the preparation of this work, and tho elaborat ion and discus sion of his discoveries. The work contains, besides a discussion ot the important question of the open Tolar Sea, a eiaphlcand complete description of the Greenland ice, Including the formation and discharge of those vast floating bodies ol ice called icebergs, upon which subject Dr. Hayes has enjoyed greater facilities for investigation than any other ex plorer hU journeys Into tho interior of Greenland with that object forming a marked feature in this volume, being of a character previously unknown in Arctic explorations. Indeed, no traveller besides Dr. nayes has ever succeeded in penetrating Into the interior of Greenland over the m( r de glace. From the proof-sheets we select the follow ing paragraph relative to the ferocity of the Esquimaux dogs: "Nothing could exceed their ravenous hunger. The teroeity with which they tour into their food exceed anything that I nave ever hee, and nothing escapes their sharp fane-- Tnev eat up their harness if not closely watched, and we are obliped to brine everytuiu ma le ot akin inside the hut. Several ol the traces have dis appeared down their rapueious throats. To add to our emrjiiirassmeuts, Jensen loreot ono miiht to cover over his sledc- ( Kjioir's makes the roof ot our hut), and wheu we went out iu the mnrniiiB, the Bledee was torn to pieces, the lashimts were ad eaten, bikI the pieces ot the sledge were scattered over the snow all around tte camp. The brutes trie 1 to tear open our tin meat -cans with their woltish langs, and t.tc up our extra boots, the last scrap ot Hkin line that was left, some fur sto'jkiues, and made nn end of Knurr's seal-skin covered meerschaum pipe, which he had lniprudentiy hung upon the upstander. Hemp lines now make the sledee lashir.es and traces, and, as a consequence, the 'ledtics are continually tum bline to pieces, and tho traces are constantly breaking. Another doe tore open a seal-skin tobacco-pouch, shook out its content", and ate Jt; and nnotuer bolted our only piece of soap. This looks bad for our future cleanliness, but thirty-two days, at these low temperature'1. have worn olf the sham edge ot fastidiousness. At first we had always a morning wash with a lmndliil of snow; but latterly we are not mi particular, and we shall not Brieve over the soup ns much as we inieht have done foine weeks tieo. The wolfish brutes till the air with the most hideous cries. The spectral pack ol the wdd JIartz huntsman never sp.it the ear of belated tra veller with more awiul "ounds than thoe whicti come from the throats of my will beasts at this pre-eut moment. The wretches would eat us up if we gave them the least chance. Knorr stumbled among the pack yesteidav, while feeding them, and had not McDonald -pounced upon them on the instant, I believe they would have made a meal o: him before he could rise."
