LITERATURE.
nEviiaw of Niflw books.
Tbirk ahd Act. A series of artioles pertain
ing to men and women, work aod wsges.
By Virginia Pnny. Published by Claxton,
Remsen & IlatTelflBger.
This volume is the work of a woman who is
earnestly interested in the most important
feature of the'woman question a feature, by
the way, that 'some of the most ardent advo
cates of women's rights apparently oonsider
as of secondary importanoe to some others; as
the right of suffrage, for instanoe. Some time
ago we notioed in these columns a nsefal work
by Miss Tenny entitled "The Employment
of Women." which was designed to
show women who complain tha t there are no
fields of labor open for them, what had been
done and what oonld be done by their sex.
The work now before us has the same object
in view, and it enters into a dlsouesion of the
whole subject of women's work and wages in
a clear, practioal, and oommon-sense manner.
The subject is one that is foroing Itself upon
the attention of the pnblio more and more
every day, and upon a satisfactory solution of
the social problem involved in it depends in a
great measure the cause of virtue, religion,
and morality. Miss' Penny quotes freely from
all authors who have said anything bearing
npon the matter under consideration, and her
evident desire has been to set forth her sub
ject in the most foroible and impressive man
ner, rather than to win laurels for herself aa
an author.
The book is ene that those who are Inte
rested in the welfare of the working women
of the country a large and constantly increas
ing class should read; and although all
may not agree npon every point with the an
thor, her views' and opinions are in every
way worthy of respectful consideration.
From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we ' have re
ceived "The Gain of a Loss," a novel by the
anthor of "The Last of the Cavaliers." Pab
lished by Leypoldt & Holt. This is a well
written and very interesting story of English
life, whioh the admirers of good notion will
appreciate. A decidedly religions feeling per
vades the work, the characters are drawn
with mnoh skill, the plot is well developed,
and the moral is good.
The same house sends us "The Life of
William Ewart Gladstone," one of Cassell's
representative biographies. Published by
Felt & Dillingham, New York. This work
contains some particulars about the English
premier which have never been published
before, and in the space of 128 pages it gives
all the leading events of his oareer as a
scholar and statesman. Price, fifty cents.
From Claxton, RemBen & Haffolfinger we
YlflVA VAnotva1 nianllAtp ap Ttfa In RnAlUnil "
by Helen Hazlett.
This story is somewhat crude, but it shows
derided ability and promises well for what the
author will do in the future. Portions of it
are very well written, but at times a desire to
be forcible and an inclination for fine writing
have tempted the author into exaggerations
whioh mar the symmetry of the work.
Messrs. Claxton, Remsen & HarTelfiuger
also send us "Out of the Streets," a story of
New York life, by Charles Gayler; published
by Robert M. De Witt, New York. This story
originally appeared in Frank Leslie's Chimney
Corner, when it was so successful that the
author was induced to publish it in book
foim. "Oat of the Streets" Is addressed to a
populous audience, and it will doubtless fiad
a multitude of appreciative and not too critical
readers.
Turner Brothers & Co. send na "The
Triumph of Criticism," by M. B. Craven;
"Griffith Gaunt," by Charles Reade; nd Oar
Boys and Girls, Oliver Optlo's magazine for
Saturday, Maroh 20, 1867.
"The Triumph of Critloism" is a "critical
and paradox work on the Bible and our
theologioal idea of the Deity." Mr. Craven
disputes the received dootrine of the Divine
origin of the Scriptures, and he goes over the
same ground, and in maoh the same manner,
as other writers who have treated the sabjeot
from tbe same standpoint. He is particularly
severe upon Moses, whose teachings and reli
gions system he considers entirely
obsolete and nnadapted to modern
civilization. Jesus Christ he admires
as a reformer who overturned the Mosalo
law, but whose teaohings are, on the whole,
not adapted to the requirements of this ad
vanced age. Mr. Craven does not write as
foroibly or as learnedly as some other authors
who have preceded him in the same field, and
it is doubtful whether his "unceremonious
attack on our highly cherished and time
honored religions theories" will have the
effect of utterly demolishing them and effect
ing a moral and religious revolution, as he
seems to expeot that it will. ' Unable to fiad
a publisher who was willing to undertake the
responsibility of his entire work, the author
has conoluded to hazard himself the publica
tion of the "Prolegomena," or prefatory part
of the work, as a sample of the whole.
"Griffith Gaunt," published by Harper &
Brothers, Is embellished with all the original
illustrations, ia nicely printed in clear, reada
ble type, and is sold for the low prloe of
twenty-five cents.
Oliver Optic's magazine, Our Boys and
GirU, Is an attractive weekly, filled wi.h en.
tertalning stories, sketches, and poetry. Sab
sorlption prloe, 2 60 per annum. Published
by Lee & Shepard, Boston.
D. Ashmeai sends us the first volume of
tbe cheap edition of Sir Walter Scott's Poeti
cal Works, published by W. W. Swayne, New
Yoik. The entire work will be oompleted ia
live monthly volumes at 25 centa eaoh. The
first volume contains "The Lay of the Last
Minstrel" and "Marmion," with the author's
introd notion and notes. ' ',
"The House of Cards," reoelved from the
same house, la an Interesting novel by Mrs.
Cashel Iloey, whioh was first issued in America
ia LiatU'i Living Agt, when it attracted
much attention. Published by Little & uay,
Boston. Frioe 76 cents.
From John E. Potter ft Co. we have re-
oeivtd "John Smith's Fuuny Adventures on
a Cmtoh," by A. F. Hill. Mr. Hill has written
several popular works, and he bow travels
somtwbat oat of the usual line, and looks at
the misfortunes of a gallant defender of his
country from a oomlo rather than from a sen
timental point of viuw. "John Smith" loses
his 1 g at Antietam, but instead of repining
he langhs at fate, and looks at life from a
humorous point of view. Some of the adven
tures are ludicrous in the extreme, and they
will doubtless serve to add to the already ex
tended fame of the redoubtable hero, "John
Smith."
Ihe University is the title of a new
literary monthly devoted to the interests of
the University of Pennsylvania. The editors
are Henry Badd, Jr., aud Charles F. Zlogler,
and the magszlne starts with an attraotive
series of articles, which are superior in merit
to the majority of oollege literature. Profes
sor Little contributes "A Memoir of Rev.
William Smith, I. D., " the first Provost of
the College of Philadelphia, the original
name of the present University; "Antiquities
of Bloomeriam" is a learned and entertaining
paper by Professor Morton; J. G. R. MoHlroy,
A. M , inquires "What is Philology V "In
War Time" is a poem by G. P. A ; Henry
Budd, Jr., B. A., discourses about "Types of
the Devil;" and Professor Oswald Seidn
sticker contributes a sketch of Dr. Augustas
Schleioher, the eminent German philologist.
The other artioles are of interest, and the
editors announce for the numbers that are to
follow several papers by distinguished gentle
men. The object of the magazine is to pro
mote the interests of the University, and we
hope that it will be a peounlary as well as a
liter wy success.
