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:

master in iiesien, uu independence upou'wln-u
no Pope even could dure to trespass, he was
entrusted not only with ihe plans ot his pr. de
ccsoif, but with power to modify them at
will. 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

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."
