LITERATURE.
BEVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
From Smith, English & Co. we have re--oeived
"Villa Eden; The Country House on
the Rhine," Tart I, and "Edelweiss," by
Berthold Auerbach. Published by Roberts
Brothers, Boston. The first-named work is
published in pamphlet form, and the latter is
one of Messrs. Roberts Brothers' very tastefal
"Handy Volume" series. These are stories
that we 'can heartily commend, and which
every lover of good literature will heartily
enjoy. . Anerbach's style is a charm of itself,
and the reader is fascinated from the com
mence to the end of one of his idylllo
pieces. "Edelweiss" is graceful and enter
taining at the opening, and it is not until the
story has advanced some distance before the
real purport of the anthor begins to be un
folded, and the profound dramatio interest of
the little homely tragedy slows how much
there is below the surface. "Villa Elen" is
translated by Charles O. Shackford, and it
will be published in four parts. The other
story, named from the Alpine plant,' "Kdel
weiss," which signifies "noble purity," is
translated by Ellen Frothingham.
Turner Brothers & Co. send us "The
Brawnville Papers." Edited by Moses Coit
Tyler. Published by Fields, Osgood & Co.
The editor, or rather the author, of this work
is an enthusiast on the subject of physical
culture, and this book is made up of a series
of papers originally contributed to The Herald
of Health. The subject is thrown into the
form of an entertaining series of sketches, which
have the merit of being amusing as well as
instructive. In a playful sort of way the
author has made the exploits and conversa
tion of an imaginary gronp of characters the
means of illustrating his ideas about a sound
mind in a sound body.
The same house sends us "My Ten Rod
Farm, or How I Became a Florist," by Mrs
Maria Gilmore. Published by Loring. This
is one of Loring's useful series, and it may be
described as a sequel to that very popular
work, which excited the rural enthusiasm of so
many city-bound readers, " Ten Acres
Enough." The author tells how a great deal
may be done with very small means by those
who have patience, skill, and industry, and
we hope the pamphlet will have a large circu
lation. From Sch refer & Koradi we have reoeived
a specimen part of a new edition of Callot's
French-English and English-French Dic
tionary. This is a standard work, and its
value is well known to all who have occasion
to use a French and English dictionary. A
number of important improvements have
been introduced into this edition, which will
add greatly to its value. The dictionary will
be issued in twenty-four weekly numbers, at
fifteen cents a number.
Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger send us
the April number of the Architectural Re
view, edited by 8amuel Sloan, Esq. This
valuable publication is, as usual, attractive
in appearance, and its table of contents pre
sents a series of articles that are interesting
to the amateur, as well as useful to the
professional architect and builder. A number
of designB for buildings, with full plans and
specifications, are given.
Turner Brothers & Co. send us Captain
Mayne Reid's magazine, Onward, for April.
The sketches, stories, and verses are of the
usnal spirit-stirring character. The gallant
Captain informs us that hitherto he has writ,
ten each number of the magazine himself, and
he could easily continue to perform the task.
He is somewhat doubtful, however, whether
the quality is equal to the quantity; conse
quently he will hereafter secure a sufficient
variety in style and substance, by alternating
his owtr contributions by artioles from other
writers.
The Riverside Magazine for April, whloh
we have reoeived from Turner Brothers & Co.,
opens with one of Hans Christian Anderssen's
delightful sketches, entitled "Luck may lie in
a pin." The other artioles are up to the
usual standard of excellence, and the illustra
tions are numerous and good. Published by
Hnrd & Honghton.
Our Schoolday Visitor for April, published
by Daughaday & Becher, has an attractive
variety of stories, sketches, and verses, illus
trated by some spirited designs by Schell.
This magazine is increasing in favor with the
juveniles, and the publishers and editors are
exerting themselves to make each number
better than the last. .
Peterson's Ladies National Magazine has
for a frontispiece a steel engraving entitled
"Grandfather's Pipe." A double-page,
highly -colored steel fashion plate is also
given, together with patterns of all kinds of
needle-work, the latest fashions, eto. The
stories, sketohes, and poetry are interesting,
and the items of useful information about
household matters will ba appreciated by
many of the readers of the magazine. Re
ceived from Turner Brothers & Co.
From the same house we have received
Our Boys and Girls for April 3 and April 27, !
edited by Oliver Optic The number for
April 27 is embellished by steel portraits of
Grant and Colfax.
The Little Corporal for April, published i
by Alfred L. Shewell & Co., Chicago, has an
attractive variety of articles suited to the
taBtes of young readers.
Harper's Magazine for April opens with
somewhat melo-dramatio but interesting arti.
ole, by .Taoob Abbott, entitled "The Freaks of
Lightning." Either Mr. Abbott has not done
the fair thing) by the publishers, or the pub
lishers have not acted ingenuously with their
readers. The article in question, with all its
illustrations, la taken bodily from a work
published a year ago by Messrs. Sampson
Low, Bon & Marston, London. It is trans
lated from the Frenoh of W. De Fonvlelle by,
T. L. Phipson, and Mr. Abbott is only enti
tled to the credit of having strung together a
series of extracts from it. The proper credit
to the real authors ought to have been given
as la the usnal custom when artioles of this
description appoar in a magazine.
Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers send
us "Woodstook" and "The Betrothed," two
volumes of their cheap edition of the Waver
ley novels. Prioe 20 cents eaoh.
A CnrioMty or I.lteratnrfl."
To the Editor of The IXtning Telegraph.
In a recent book review you reprinted from
Tttinam's for April "A Curiosity of Literature,"
the tenor of which was to the effect that Wolfe's
ode on the burlBl of Sir John Moore was not uu
original production. In support of this allearcd
"fa t," evidence is given in the form of a French
poem, said to have been written in commemora
tion of a Bretou ofliccr who was shot in 1749, at
the siege of Pondicherry, and this poem, it is
said. Is to be found in the Memoirs of Lally
Tollendal." Still further evidence is presented
in the shape of a German poen dating "from
the second half of the seventeenth century,''
and written in honor of a Swedish hero "who
fell at the siege of Dantsic."
These three odes being, as stated, "almost
literal trainlations of each other," it la evident
that all three cannot be equally original. ' To
the German poem is given the palm, by Seni
ority, and it is surmised that Wole stole his
inspiration, almost word for word, at second
hand from tho French poem. No three poems,
in three idioms so distinct, could by chance so
precisely coincide; but Wolfe, had he sufficient
genius to make so inspiring a translation,
would doubtless have had wit enough to have
made greater deviation Irom the so called
"original." The exactness of the triple like
ness, therefore, would seem a strong presump
tive evidence of a "hoax." In fact, numerous
poems have, at various times, been put forward
as the origlnsls of Wolfe's inspired ode; but
they have been proven to be impostors.
Bearing upon this point, I beg to give you an
item , (originally from Notes and Queries
first series, running from 184a to 1855) which I
have before me in a book published by Appleton
in 1857, comprising selections from the above-
named London weekly. Tue article is not un
interesting, particularly at this juncture:
THE BURIAL OF BIB JOHN MOOBE.
The undoubted author of the monody on the
burial of Sir John Moore Is the late Rev. Charles
Wolte, a young Irishman, curate of Donougu.
more, Diocese of Armagh, who died in 1823, in
the 32d year ot his age. His "Life and Re
mains" were edited by the Archdeacon of
Clogher; and a fifth edition of the volume,
8vo, was published in 1832, by Hamilton,
Adams & Co., Paternoster Row. At the
twenty-fifth page of the memoir there is the
narration oi an Interesting " discus
sion between Lord Byron, Shelley, and others.
as to the most perfect ode that had ever Deeu
produced. Shelley contended for Coleridge's
on "Switzerland;" others named Campbell's
"Hohenlinden" and Lord Byron's Invocation
in "Manlred." .But Lord Byrou left the dinner
table before the cloth was removed, and
returned with a magazine, from which he read
this monody, which just then appeared anony
mously. After he had read it he repeated the
third stanza, and pronounced it perfect, and
especially the lines:
But be lay like a warrior taking his rest,
With tils martial cloan around aim.
"I should have taken the whole," said Shelley,
"for a rough sketch of Campbell's."
"No," replied Lord Byron, "Campbell would
have claimed it had it been his."
The memoir contains tho fullest details ou the
subject of the authorship, r. Wolfe's claims
to which was also fully established by the Rev.
Dr. Miller, late Fellow of Trinity, Dublin.
It was stated in an English paper, published
in France some years back, that Wolfe had
taken the lines from a poem at the end of the
"Memoirs oi Lally Tollendal," the French gov
ernor of Pondichcrry, in 175G, and subsequently
executed In 1766.
In this paper tho French poem was given,
professing to be a monody on Lally Tollendal
and to be found in the appendix to his memoirs.
It was only a clever hoax from the ready pen of
"Father Prout," and first appeared in Rentley's
iliscet'any. No greater proof of the lncouve.
Lltnce of facetias of this peculiar nature cau be
required than the circumstauce that the fiction,
after a time, gets mistaken for a fact. There
shortly afterwards appeared the following letter
in the Courier, Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1824:
ODE ON THE BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE.
To the Editor of the Courier: Bib. Permit me,
through tlie medium of your highly respectable
Journal (which I have cnosun a the channel of
tills communication Irom my having been a
subscriber to it lor the last fifteen years), to ob
serve tbat the statement lately publisned In
tbe Morning Chronicle, the writer of which
ascribes the lines on the bnrlai of fcjir John
Moore to Wolfe, Is lalse, and as barefaced a
fabrication aa ever foisted on ihe public The
lints in question were not writttn by Wolfe, nor
by Bailey, nor 1b Deacoll the author, but
they were composed by me. I published them
originally, some years ago, In the Durbam
County Advertiser, a Journal lu whloh I have
at Ulll'eient times inserted several poetical
tr'fles, aa the "Prisoner's Prayer to Bleep,"
"Linta on tbe Lamented Death of Benjamin
Ualley, Ksq.," and some other little effusions.
I should not, sir, have thought the lines on Sir
John Moore's funeral worth ownlngs had not
the false statement of the Chronicle met my
eye. I can prove, by the most incontestable
evidence, tbe truth of what X have asserted.
Tbe first copy of ray lines was gl veu by me to
my friend and relation Captain Bell, and it is
In his possession at present. It agrees perfectly
with the vopy now lu circulation, with ttils ex
ception It does not contain tbe stanzas ooiu
raenulng with "Few and short," which 1 added
afterwards tit the suggestion of the Hev, Dr.
Aidereonof Butlerby. i am. air. voura. tn.
H. Mahhuall, M.. D.
South street, Durham, Novemoer 1, lSii.
This letter was a mere hoax, and was so
shown to be two or three days a'ter its publi
cation, by an authenticated statement that "Dr.
Marshall, of South street, Durham," was ahorse
doctor of dissipated lafher than literary habits,
and not even a graduate of the Veterinary Col
lege. He had, of course, nothing to do with the
letter. Benjamin Galley, who is termed esquire
iu the letter, was a poor Durbam idiot; aud by
the Bev. Dr. Alderton, of Butlerby, was meant
Hutchinson Aldersou, the bellman of Durham.
The paragraph in the Morning Chronicle, to
which Dr. Marshall's letter refers, had been
inserted by John SUuey Taylor, a bosom friend
of Wolfe, the author of the monody. Mr.
Taylor replied to tbe Doctor's letter In Hn angry
philippic, and evidently thought he was dealing
with the genuine letter of a real M. D although
he insinuates that be was a quack, and advises
him, instead of claiming verses which do not
belong to him, to oontent himself with writlnj?
verses on the tombstones of his patients.
It will be seen by the Doctor's lettsr that he
not only claimed the authorship of this "mon
ody," but also of "The Prisoner's Prayer to
Bleep." Professor Wilson, of Edinburgh, there
upon avowed himself the author of the latter
poem, and was probably as much deceived by
the Doctor's letter as Mr. Taylor Had been.
The article from Holes and Queries gives
otber gossipy information, besides quite an
interesting descriptive letter from ths clergy
man who officiated at the burial.
It seems not Improbable that the writer In
Pfnam'hafallenupon "Father ProutV'hoax-
ing French translation of Wolfe's monody and
some German triplicate. At all events, Dr.
Marshall's letter is an apt illustration of the
value that may sometimes attach to "internal
evidence," apparently minute aud authentic.
