6 HKVIKW NEW IJOOKB. 11 ib VrliKPiT's Tower. Br William Ilep .worth -.Dixon. Published bj Harper & Brothers, Philadelphia Agents: 'Tamer Bro ' there & Go., No. 808 Cheenat street, and Clxton, Remsen h llaflelfioger. The title of any work, bat especially of an fcistorloal work, onght to give some intelligent Ilea of the subject. Mr: Dixon's designation of his work on the Tower of London la certainly set well chosen, and it appears like a pieoe of affectation on the part of the author. The work itself is not what is wanted at this time, e what was to be expeoled from a writer of Mr. Dixon's repmtatioii a detailed and aooa jate history of one of the most anoient and' poetio piles in Europe, the Tower of London. In his brief preface the author says: Twenty years a to I wrote soine chapters on the Tower, enpeclallj on the human interests which clin? around it; and since that time I have noted with cure such pa-saea in eitoer the state papers or printed books. as threw litfht isto the cellx once occupied by the heros and heroines ot English Btor?. This volume ft , book of identiflotttion is the fruit of this long Continued research." Mr. Dixon's work is a series of aneodotes said sketches of the Tower and the people who have inhabited it, strung together in rather a loose and inartistic manner. It is defective and disappointing as a carefully elaborated historical study, such as we had a right to ,expeot;'but the anecdotes and descriptions are graphic, and the book is one of great interest We give a number of extracts, which wil1 enable our readers to form an idea of the char acter of Mr. Dixon's work, and will doubtless prove more acceptable than any extended re marks of our own. THE TILE. Standing on Tower Hill, looking do'f n on the dark line of wall picking out keep and turret, bastion and bnlliuni, chapel and belfry me jewei-nouBe, tue armory, trie mounts, tue rasema'es, the open lend tue Bje warJ Kate, the Belfry, the Bloody tower the whole edidce seems alive with story; the story of a nation's hiehest splendor, its deepest, misery, and its darkest Buame. Ttia soil beneath yojr leet li richer in blood than many a great baUlcUuld; for out upon tills sod has been poured, from Reneratiou to generation, a stream of the noblest lire 111 our land. Should you bavo come to this epot alone, In the early day, when tbe Toer is uoisy with martial doings, you may haply catch, in the hum which rises lroui tbe ditcu and issues troui the wall below jou brcken by roll ol drum, by olast of bugle, by tramp of soldiers some echoes, as it were, oi a far-off tunc; some hiuts of a May-day revel j of a Mate ex"cution; of a ro.val eutry. Yen may catch some nound which recalls the thrum of a queen's virtual, the cry of a victim on the rack, the laughter of a bridttl feast. For all tlieee slants and sounds the dance of love and the dauce of den;h are part of that gay and tragic memory which clings around the Tower. From the reign of Stephen down to that of Henry of Richmond, Oivsar'i tower (the great Norman keep, now called the White tower) was a main part of tbe rojal pulace; and tor that large interval of time, the story of the White tower is iu some sort that of our English society as well as ot our Knglmh kinus. Here were kept the royal wardrobe and the royal jewels: and hither came with their goodly wares the tiremen, the goldsmiths, the chasers and embroiderers, from Flaudcrn, Italy, and Almaigne. Close by were the Hint, the lious' dens, the old archery-grounds, the Court of King's Bench, tbe Court of Comuiou Picas, the Queen's garden', the rojal banqueting hall; so that art and trade, science and manners, li'era ture and law, tpoi t and poliikc, find themselves equally at home. INNBR WARD AND OUTEH WARD. TheTower was divided into two main parts an Inner Ward and au Outer Wird; the first part being bounded by the old wall, crowned by twelve mural towers; the second part beiug , bounded by tbe soil which fnuged the Blopes leading down into the ditch. A man who would read aright the niany curious phages in onr history of which the state Prison is the scene, must bear this tact of the two wards con stantly in his mind. Tbe Inner Ward, planned and partlv built by the Monk of Bee. was the original fortress, of which the defending ditch lay uuJcr the bal lium wall. It contained the keep, the royal galleries and rooms, tbe Mint, the Jewel house, tbe Wardrobe, the Queen's garden, St. Peter's Church, the open green, tbe Constable's tower. V. . i . r i- i . . . me xma lower, in wuicn mo .uasicr or Itie Ordnance Jived, the Great hall, quarters for the archers and bowmeu, and, in later days, the Lieutenant's bouse. This ward was flanked and covered by twelve strong works, built ou tbe wall, and forming part t it; the Beaucharop tower, the Belfry, the Garden tower (now famous as the Bloody tower), the Hall tower, tbe Ltnteru, the Salt tower, the Broud Arrow tower, the Constable tower, the Martin tower, the Brick tower, the Flint tower, tbe liowyer tower, and the Develin tower; all of wlihjh may be considered, more or less, as defensive works; even the Lantern, which had a vault for prieoners on the izro iu I, a reyal bed-chamber on the main floor, a guard room for archers and balisters in the upper story, and a round turret over these fjr the borniitg lights. Only one gateway pierced the . wall; a narrow and embattled outlet neac the Water gate, passing under tho stronn block home, now tbe Bloudy tower. Into Water Lane. The road springs upwards by the main gimrd rise ot one in ten so as to give the men inside a vast advanioge iu a puxh of pikes. This Inner Ward was the royal (luarfer. The Outer Ward, which owed it- wlau and most of it-execution to Henry the Third, lay between tbe bailiuoi ami me outer scarn of the ditch, with a protected passnye into the Thames. It contained tome lanes and streets below the wall, and works which overlooked tho wharf. In this ward'stood the Middle tower, the Bye ward tower, the Water gate, the Cradle tower, the Well tower, the Oalleyman tower, the Iron Gate tower, brass Mount, Legge Mount, and the covered ways. Into it opened the Hall tower, aiterwards called the Record tower, now known as the wel house. Close by the Hall tower stood the Great Hall, the doors of which opened Into this outer court, spanning the ditch, towards the Thames, stood the VJ ater gale, a tine structure, built by Hcury the Builder, which folk called St. Thomas" low.'' aflr our Bxon faint. Under this building sprang the wide arch, through which the tlaes flowed in aua out irom tho river and the ditch; tbe water-way known as Traitor's ..". luurr rvaru was me Km ivs castle, his palace, his garrnon, bis wardrobe, his treasury .

Oa this rqucst being cranted by the king, tbe six meenter would return to their fellows in llaiklng Church, report whan they bad done, and send the citizen KUard to thl'tr posts. Thin would the Commons cloct from their body three men of mature age, moderate opinion, and cautious speech, to ac; as presenters. Tho roles by which they acted were rather sliie.t. The sheriffs and baciles were to he decently clo hed and shod, since It was laid down that no man should come before the king cither in d.ity ragi or without his shoes. Their followers were to be trim aud spruce; their cape. and cloaks laid aside; their coat and overcoats put on. No man was to go with them inlo the pre ence who had sore eyes; no man was to join th-m who had weak legs. Major, alderman, nhcr d', crier, everyone goiug in'o tbe Tower on putdic. duty, was to have his hair cut short and Ins luce newly shave I. The object of these inles was to guard tno ribtof access to the courts of juntice; tbe Court of King's Bench and the Court of Common rieas.

Hence it came to be kno vu as the Record tower.

Tho river is alive with bout; tho air is white with smoke; the sun overhead is b'iruing with troldcu May. Thousands ou thousands of spectators dot tbe banks; lor to-tlay a brHe is coming home to the King, the beauty of whose lace se;s old men's laLcics and young n en's eyes agog. On the wharf, near the Qiioeii's stair, stands a burly bguic; tall beyoud common men; broad iu chest at d strong in lluiu; dressed in a doublet ot gold ami crimou, a cap and plume, shoes with rosetH'B and diamond?, a hancer by his side, a George upon his breast. It is tbe K'l'g, surrounded by dukes and carta, awaiting the anival of a birpe, in the midbt ot blaring trumpets and exploding sakers. A procccsicn sweeps along; stealingup liom Greenwich, with planning oars aud merry strains; fifty great bout, with a host ot wher ries on their tlai.ks; a vessel tiring guns in front, and a long arrear ol trait behind. Fiom the first bnrgo lands the Lord Mayor; from the second tups the bride; Irom the rest stream out the pictureque city companies. Cat nons roar, and Dells fling out a welcome to the Queen; for this is not simply a great day in tbe story of one lovely woman. Out a great day in tbe story ot English life. Now is the morning time of a new cru; forcn this bright May 'The gOBpel 1'eht II tat n am s from BjleL,' eyes." and men go mad with hope of things wh'ch are yet to come. Tbe King catches that fair young bride in his arms, kisses her suit check, and bears her in, through the Bye ward Tower. The r Icturc fades from view, and presently reappears. Js it the same? The Queen the stair the barge the crowd of men all thess are hero. Ytt the picture is not the same. No burls Henry stands by the stair; no guns dis turb the skv; no blast of trumpets greets the royal barge; no tram ot aldermen aud masters waits upon the Queen. The loveW lace looks older by a dozen jeirt; yet scarcely thre have passed since that fair form was clapped in the King's arms, kisc I, aui carried by the bridge. This time she is a prisoner, charged with having done such things as pen cauuot write: things which would be treao.i, not to her lord only, but to her womanhood, and to the King of kince. W hen she alluhu on the Queen's stair she turns to Sir William K ngstou, Constable ot the Tower, and askj, "Must I co into a duugeon?" "No, madam," snys the Constab'e; "you will lie in the same raoi.i which you occupied be fore." hP falls on h-r knees. "It Is too good forme." she ciie; and then weeps for a Ions? time, lying on the old stones, with all the people standiDg by in t;ars. She bsus to have ihe fHcruuient in heroin room, that she may pray with a puie heart, saying the Is free from fin, and that she ta, ami always has been, the King's true wedded wile. "Shall I die without justice?" she I u qui res. "Madam," sajs K.in''s'oii, "the poorest subject wliould bave justice.''' The lady only laughs a feeble laugh. ELIZABETH.

"Are all these iiaiu'-ied men for me 5"' She asked. "N'o, mud.nn," said Sir John. "Tea," she replied, "I kuovv li is eo.' Then she stood up in her boat aiiJ leaped on shore.

A B ok frf Kssay9 by Maty 1'reston. I'abliahed by CUxtoa, Remsen & Uaffelnoger. Bhskespeare has been studied, essayed, aai commented upon so mnoh that it would take a lifetime of diligent reading to get through with all the theories, dissertations, expwl t'ons, and speculations that, have been put forth for the enlightenment of the public. The present neat and unpretending little volume would be likely to receive more atten tion from the reading publio if its predeces sors in the same line were not bo numerous, but perhaps those who have read and studied Bhakespeare the most will derive a new light on some points from it. The author doea not profess to say anything very new, but she Las ideas of her own, and in a matter of this kind originality is something. The essays discuss Macbith, Coriolanus, King Lean Othello, llenry VIII, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Jidiui Casar, Romeo and Juliet, King Richard 111, As You Like It, Midsummer Night's Dream, and Timon of Athens. They are plentifully studded with italics, often on the least ex pressive words, after the manner of female letter-writers, but they show an intelligent study of the dramas and a keen appreciation of their poetic Bpiiit. Thb Maroonhbb' Island, by F. R. Qoulding. Published by ClaxtoB, llemsen, & llaffel- hDger. Desert island stories, from the days of De foe to Charles Reade and Dion Boucicault, have never lacked for readers. There is a particular fascination in these tales whioh appeals in the strongest manner to the juve nile imagination, stirs the young blood, and inspires a desire to imitate the example of the Cotillons heroes and heroines. "The Young Marooners," originally published a good many years ago, is one of the most interesting books of its class, and it was and is deservedly popular. The author, in his prefaoe to the present work, states that he does not approve of sequels, but that so many and so urgent were the requests for a continuation of his former story, that he was allowed no option in the case. The present story, like its prede cessor, ia laid on the coast of Florida, and the author has endeavored to give an accurate description of the scenery and characteristics of the region, and to include in his narrative as much useful information as possible. The boys who have been excited over the adven tures of the "Young Marooners" will be glad to have this work, which ia at once an independ ent story and a Beqnel. From Turner Brothers & Co. and Clax ton, Remsen & Uaffalnnger we have re ceived the first part of Anthony Trollope's new novel, "He Knew He Was Right," pub lished by Uarper & Brothers. Mr. Trollope does not travel out of his usual line in this story, but he gives one of those photographic pictures ol every-day life and modern Eng lish society for which he is famous, and whioh are so fascinating to a large circle of readers. "He Knew He Was Right" is illustrated by a number of excellent designs by Marcus Stone. "Watson's Philadelphia Easiness Direc tory" for 18G9 contains a classified list of merchants, tradesmen, and professions, ar ranged in alphabetical order. Illustration,, and descriptions of the principal publio build ings are given. Published by Rushton & Co., No. 219 Dock street. Messrs. Turner, Brothers & Co. send us The Eclectic Magazine and Every Month, for March. The Eclectic is a judicious compila tion from the European periodicals, and the March number presents an attractive table of contents. A steel portrait of Rossini is given as a frontispiece. Every Month is a new maga zine, which has now reached its third number It is made up of original aud carefully selected matter, and its contents offer a sufficient variety to please all tastes.
