This last of the numerous productions from
the pen of tLiu most proliflo authoress is not
equal to its predecessors, although it partakes
of the general characteristics of all its fellows. It
is a historical novel, the plot of which is laid
in Russia, and is based in the most infinitesi
mal degree on what actually transpired. But
the connection between fact and fiction in this,
as in all Miss Muhlbach's novels, ia so ex
tremely remote, that it really teaches nothing.
It is rather more overdrawn than any other of
licr productions, and deals entirely too much
in sentiment for anything hut a school-girl's
fancy. Of course, it is composed of well-delineated
characters, and the transla tion is ex
cellent. The style, however, palls upon tie
reader when more than three or four tales
are read; and a3 this is about the eighth within
a year, we think we are justified in confess
ing a surfeit.
Tjir Montakos. A Novel. J. B. Llpplncott fc
Co., Philadelphia.
A very pleasant little narrative of the war,
and one in which that exhausted thome is
treated in a style which renders it really new,
because of the refreshing disregard of all pro
bability. It is not properly a war novel; it is
a llove tale, very well told. The fate of the
South is drawn in as an incident, and the
writer is eminently loyal. The characters are
all of that dignified race of the upper-ten
which are never found anywhere in life.
They are all strikingly handsome, and all, to
our mind, act in a ridiculous manner, which
no sane set of characters possibly would do.
But it is very happily told. It is a sort of
cross-love, like we find in "Quits" and "At
Odds;" and the dt'notiement, although anything
but probable, is not absolutely silly. Its
merit is as much as any novel of its class which
Las been recently issued.
Enoikf.ep.9' and Mechanics' Pocket Book.
By Charles IJ. llaswell. New York: Harper
A Brothers. Philadelphia Agents: J. B. Lip.
plucott & Co.
We have seldom seen a work more tho
roughly useful and more thoroughly welcome
than the little one before us. Bound in a
Shape to be carried in the pocket without in
convenience, it really contains an amount of
needful information which is positively ama
zing. It is an evidence of the immense supply
of data which can be accumulated by the in
dustrious men who understand the task. All
the information so often needed by engineers
and mechanics, and also by men of leisure, is
contained in this work. It is a perfect epitome
of valuable knowledge, and is compiled with
Buoh care, and so properly indexed, that we
can have no trouble in turning to exactly
what we want to find. It contains nearly
seven hundred pages, yet is bound in a com
pass easily carried, and printed with singular
clearness. It is the twenty-first edition of the
work.
Manual of Physical Exkrciuks. 1!y Wll
llum Wood. Harper A lirolliers. Philadel
phia AcentB: J. B. Llpplncoit & Co.
Mr. Wood has given us a valuable manual of
' directions on the subject of physical exercise,
and some sensible advice in regard to the rules
essential to the preservation of health. His
work covers thoroughly the ground it intends
to, and is full of well-executed illustrations of
the various attitudes proper in gymnastics. It
gives useful directions and wholesome ad
vice. At the 'end are appended seventeen rules
of health, which we can cordially commend to
the attention of every one. His work not only
contains the requisite information on the sub
ject of gymnastio exercises, but also a care
fully prepared digest of the rules of all our
athletic sports. It is reliable as a daily moni
tor, and is written by one evidently well
acquainted with the subjects of which he treats.
It will become a standard work for the preser
yation of health. - .
Thk Kingdoms of Liom and Darkness. By
Lioreuzo D. Blackson. NlohohK Philadelphia
The work before us is the product of years
of preparation of a colored man, formerly a
slave. It is curious in many respects, but
does not exactly please us. We deprecate all
of those works which attempt to pierce the
mysteries of the latter days, and amplify what
is told to us in, the Eastern metaphor of the
Bible. The prosent volume is an extended
account of the last war between "King Alpha
and Abaddon," and is told somewhat in the
style of Bunyan. It is not a sacrilegious
work intentionally, yet, with all his laudable
desire, we fear the author has rather tended to
bring the great mysteries treated of down to
the level of the earth. It is well written, and
is a proof of what can be accomplished by self
education. To it are appended some poems,
simple in metre, and by no means inferior. It
is cheaply published, and may do good, al
though we have our doubts.
Harper k Brothers, through Lippinoott,
send us a copy of Miss M. E. Braddon's
"Birds of Prey." It is like all of that
authoress' productions, and over its stilted
style and entangled plot we do not intend to
waste time or ppace.
J. B. Lippincott k Co. send us another
of the beautiful series of Bulwer's novels
"The Last Days of Pompeii." It is bound in
rich green cloth, exquisitely printed, and
forms a most admirable edition of that stan
dard novelist.
Harper k Brothers give to the public a
work by a Mrs. (iiloart, entitled "The Curate's
Pisclple." It is a pleasant novel, well writ
ten, although rather tame In some parts
' The story drags too much, which is Us chief
fault, although "it will repay reading, M u5
characters are all well delineated, and the
plot ia clear.
Apparently the rail Mull Gazelle keeps a
literary deteotive, whose knowledge of worth
less novels is most extensive. Within a little
while he has run down four or five literary
thieves and venders of stolen goods, but never
any one of them with more skill or with
greater zest than he has shown in his recent
capture and conviction of Miss M. E. Braddon.
He seems to have worked up the case with
enthusiasm, and taken a real delight in his
success. First he showed very conclusively
that a novel lately published in Belgravia,
under the title of "Circe,"' was stolen bodily
from Octave Feuillet, whose drama of DallJa
had been almost literally translated by the
"Mr. Babington White" who, Bclgraria
said, wrote "Circe." This exposure was made
on the 10th of September. He pursues the
subject on the 17th, setting a trap into which,
on the 20th, Miss Braddon unsuspectingly
falls that is to say, after the theft is exposed
on the 10th, the detective writes a letter pur
porting to come from Mis3 Braddon, in which
that lady is made to offer to return to her
subscribers the money paid for those numbers
of Belgravia in which "Circe" had appeared.
The letter is amusingly like what a person of
Miss Braddon's sort might write when re
solved on doing a magnanimous thing regard
less of attendant expenses. It called out a
note really written by her, and- which reads as
follows:
"Miss Bratldon presents her compllmnnts to
the editor of the l'all Hall Gazette, and hogs to
Inform him that the letter purporting to be
written by her, which appears lu hU paper of
the 17ih Instant, la a forgery."
Which was all the forger wanted, for in an
editorial comment on the lady's note she gets
a stroke from a rod which evidently had been
two or three days in pickle for her:
"The forged letter was one In which Miss
Braddon was made to express an honorable
regret that the readers of Helgravla should
have been Imposed upon by a novel stolen from
the French."
Miss Braddon, it is to be observed, says no
thing in this note of Mr. "Babington White,"
whom Mr. "Chesterton Smith" (our detective
again) guesses in another letter to the editor
to be a mythical character non-existent, like
Mrs. Gamp's Mrs. Harris. It is to be con
eluded, as is said by the Gazelle correspon
dent, ".T. T.," whom we suppose to be our
detective in still another disguise, that Mr.
Babington White is no other than Miss M. E.
Braddon, who, as "T. T." points out, has
already stolen M. Feydeau's "Madame Bovary"
and passed it off as her own under the name
of "The Doctor's Wife." Unfortunately,
Miss Braddon's audience is such that she is
hardly injured by a conviction for larceny.
But her fate may warn others. If it does not,
our novelists will get to be as bad as our dra
matists have long been, who no longer think
it in the least disgraceful to steal French plays.
And we hope, doubtingly, that this exposure
may possibly damage the fortunes of Miss Brad
don's Belgravia. It is as much the fashion now
adays for a celebrated or notorious novelist to
set up a magazine as for a successful pugilist
to set up a sporting house, where he gathers
around him a profitable cirole of the friends
whom his arduous professional labors have
pleased. So we have magazines which are
mainly filled with trash from unknown
writers, because they contain as the taking
part of their contents some chapters of a novel
by some favorite story-teller, or, as we feel in
clined to say, because they contain some trash
by too well-known authors. It is a comfort
to think that against this rage for magazine
reading there must soon be a reaction. We
have really almost a plague of magazines. But
there are people who will not read books.
