REVIEW OF NEW B 0 0 K B.
Clnxton, Rcmecu & IlAfrelnngcr tend ui
the following of tbetr recent publication!:
"The Memoir ot the Life of the Right Reverend
Ocorge Burgcei, D. D.," li n compilation edited
Mtd arranged by Rev. Alexander Burgess, D. D.,
tbe bod of the bishop. Bishop Burgess was a
man of mark in the Episcopal CUnrch, and after
Lis death there was a very general desire for a
complete and comprchenHive memoir. The
editor informs is that the task of ' preparing
this wns undertaken by several persons, but it
was relinquished for a variety of rcaBons, and
that the volume before us is therefore the pro
duct of a number of pens; the different contribu
tion being linked together by Dr. Burgess, who
las supplied various reminiscences of his father,
with a large amount of interesting matter in
the shape 'of extracts from eplstolatory cor
respondence, sermons, journal or diary. Some
of the most prominent clergymen of the Episco
pal Church have. contributed lo the work, which
is at once an interesting review cf the character
And labors of Bishop Burgess, and a testimo
nial of the esteem In which he was held by his
brethren.
"Wcstbrook Parsonage," by Harriet B.
WcKcever, is a ecmi-rellgiotis story, which is de
signed to counteract the ritualistic tendencies of
a certain portion of the Episcopal Church at tbe
present day. Miss McKcever is very much in
earnest, and her story is arranged to set forth ,
lier views in a very positive manner. It will
doubtless be read with interest by those who are
excited on the subject of ritualism, and the pro
babilities are that in a few months we will have
half a score of novels in reply to it, and exhibit
ing the bounties of the other side of the matter
in controversy.
"Twice Tried; or, The Three Influences," by
Mrs. E. L. Courtney, is a religious Christmas
ktory for young people.
Messrs. Claxtcn, Kcrnsen & HalTelflngor also
eend us "The Odes and Epodes of Horace,"
translated by Lord Lytton. Published by Har
per & Brothers. This version of Horace is one
of the literary sensations of tuo ecnson in Eng
land. It gives the original and the translation
on opposite pages, with ample notes and illustra
tions. An introductory essay discusses the
causes of Horace's popularity, and each ode is
introduced with such explanatory remarks as
will give the reader a proper understanding of
its application. The translations are made in
unrhyined metre, as nearly analogous to those
of the original as the difference of the languages
will permit. This work will undoubtedly give
ordinary readers a better Idea of the peculiarities
of Horace than any translation hitherto pub
lished, and for students it will be a most valua
ble auxiliary. The notes and illustrations show
mature scholarship and nice critical discrimina
tion; and in the management of his unrhymed
metres Lord Lytton has displayed all the skill
that raailo his "Lost Tales of Miletus" so
popular.
From the same house wo have received "Old
Ilorse Gray and the Parish of Grumbleton," by
Edward Hooper. Published by Hurd & Hough
ton. This horte epic is dedicated to the "mer
ciful philozoist, Henry Bergh," and although
the subject is horsey, the moral is humanitarian.
The verses are written in a pleasant vein of
humor, and we find them more agreeable read
ing than many others of greater pretensions.
From Porter fc Coates we have received the
following works .just Issued from their press:
Fairy Tales for Little Folks" is a transla
tion of the popular and very attractive stories
of Madame la Comtcsse de Scgur. The book
contains "Blondiue, Boune-Biche, and Beuu
Minon," "Good Little Henry," "Princess
Rosette," "The Little " Grey Mouse," and
"Ourson." These stories are illustrated with
designs by Griset, and unless the belief in fairies
has begun to die out In the nursery, they will
undoubtedly be appreciated by the important
class of readers for whom they are particularly
intended.
"Under the Holly" is a Christmas book for
girls. It is a pleasantly written narrative of the
6ayings and doings of a party of young people,
the object of which Is to introduce a number of
clever stories and verses on Christmas subjects.
These are "The Trials of an Heiress:" "The
Unknown Heroine, or the Martyr of Roche
beaucour;" "The Christmas Visit;" "Charlie
Gray;" "The Fate of the Leaves;" "Esther Rad
nor, or the Indian Captive;" "The Child of the
Camp;" and '-The Sisters; or, Mr. Mortimer's
"Wards."
"Little Rosie in the Country," by Margaret
Hosmer, is the second volume of the "Little
Rosie" scries of religious stories for children, in
course of publication by Porter & Coates.
"Puck" is the title of a new novel by
"Ouida," just published by J. B. Llppincott &
Co. "Puck" is not a fairy, but a dog, whose
autobiography is here given in the peculiar vein
that makes the writings of "Ouida" so attrac
tive to some people and 60 unpleasant to others.
"Puck" passes through a variety of adventures
that give him unusual facilities for Investigating
the high and low of London life. The story is
Interesting, but it is occasionally painfull' over
wrought, and the grim sort of humor that the
writer affects at times is very far indeed from
having anything of a comical effect. "Ouida"
undoubtedly has power, but she has never yet
been able to produce a work that was not dis
figured by the most glaring absurdities of style.
There is a certain class of readers, however,
that like this, ad "Puck" will bo found just to
thcir.taste.
J. B. Llppincott it Co. also send us "Beuny,"
a Christmas ballad, by Annie Chambers
Ketchum. Published by S. R. Welle. This Is a
little poem that appeared originally in the Phre
nological Journal, where it achieved such
popularity as to induce its separate publication
in holiday style. We sincerely think that "Benny"
is a very poor specimen of a poein; but we do
not care to interfere with the enjoyment of its
admirers, so we merely state that it is printed
on good paper and neatly bound as a holiday
book.
From T. B. Peterson it Brothers we have
received "The Family Doom: or, The Sin of a
Countess," an exciting new novel by Mrs. E. I).
E. N. Southworth; and "New Receipts for Cook
ing," by Miss Leslie, i new edition of a work
ever popular with good housewives.
From the American Sunday School Union
we have received "Swept and Garnered" and
"Kilty's Christmas Tree," a couple of religious
stories suitable for Sunday School libraries.
From the Historical Society of Pennsylva
nia we have received a copy of the eloquent
culogium on the Life and Character of lion.

The New York Stock Exchange.
All reverence is not dead yet in New York.
Sometimes I think it is. Occasionally I come to
the conclusion that the love of lucre has blotted
out all respect for everything which the simple-minded
and ingenuous hold sacred. . Trade
is so rushing and conscienceless that it elbows
reliquaries out of tho way, and don't leave re
ligion even standing room. Churches have their
domes and steeples decapitated, and ore trans
formed into theatres; ancient meeting-houses
are razed and supplanted by "palatial" stores;
and rold quotations are posted where the Word
of God was once dispensed. But there
arc some exceptions to this rule. It
was feared that the New York Stock Exchango
was burning to occupy the ground at present
held by old St. Paul's; but the New York Stock
Exchange has come right side up with care in
the matter, and St. Paul's will not yet "turn up
its toes." Mr. Burke, a real estate broker, took
it upon himself, a day or two ago, to inquire
ostensibly on account of the Stock Exchange
upon what terms tho corporation of Trinity
Church would lease or sell the ground now occu
pied by St. Paul's. This was a piece of gratui
tous impertinence, inasmuch as the Stock Ex
change had never given him authority to make
such inquiries. The site is an enviable one, but
as Mr. William 11. Nelson, President of tho
Stock Exchange, remarks, that association has
no intention of bargaining for the possession of
n locality endeared by so many hallowed histori
cal associations. Perhaps it is well to have so
close such n silent' yet perpetual monitor as a
graveyard in the very focus of the city's babblo,
sending forth a spiritual breathing over the busy
bustle of Vauity Fair.

Mr. Fechter, who some months ago was so ela
borately pre-puffed by his friend, Mr. Dickens,
in the columns of a New England magazine,
will glvo his first performance in this country
on the evening of Monday, January 10, 1870, at
Niblo's Garden. I have never seen Mr. Fechter
as yet, but I have seen his American prototype,
Dan Symons, of the Olympic Theatre. People
who have heard both Mr. Fechter and Mr. Sy
mons' imitation of him swear that one is as good
aB the other, and that, at any rate, the original
is just as fine as the copy ! Mr. Symons gives a
very strong Teutonic accent, and this Is said to
bo a perfect reproduction of the German actor's
principal deficiency. Mr. Fechter is going to
be a fashionable success. His "Hamlet," at
Niblo's, will anticipate by a few days, perhaps,
that of Mr. Booth, great preparations for which
have been making for some months past.
( lirlntmu Novcliicn.
Among the Christmas gifts exposed for sale
are no novelties with the exception of games.
Even the toy kingdom is dull, invention having
made scarcely a single stride in advance of
those of last season. Among games, however,
several new varieties have been introduced.
Some of these are made subservient to useful
purposes, on Victor Hugo's principle, I presume,
that the beautiful is as useful as the useful.
Geology, natural history, aud chronology are
summarized therein, and the young idea is
taught how to bring down something every
time it shoots in sport. Among the newest,
and those which, without being new, arc in
vested with a new application, are brisque, silver
cherries, ijnillc a Vanncau, and tho Ingleside
games. Brisque is played with dice upon a
board, upon which are described three dozen
circles; men are places, and places are thrown
for, and a spirited contest is supposed to ensue.
Silver cbiracshaaatiugcof romance in it, and can
be played either in-doors or out. It Is played on
an octagon-shaped board, with tho enclosed
spaces checked off by targets furnished with
silver bells. The implements witn which
it is conducted are counters, mallets, and balls,
and the alternate position of the players deter
mines the winners. Quille a Vanwau is the
French title of a game which promises to come
into vogue, aud which consists of a square
board, covered with felt, aud stuck with nine
fixed pins. Over these tho contestants, standing
at a distance, eudeavor to threw metallic rings
covered with india-rubber. The games known
as the Ingleside games likewise promise to bo
very popular. One of them is called tho Crown
game, aud the contestants using a morocco
board, on which forty-nine squares are appor
tioned off, endeavor to enthrone their respective
rivals to the title of majesty. Lotie, another of
the games, is played upon the same board, but
the central idea is different, and tho winning
stroke consists cither In capturing your adver
sary or In hemming him inescapably in. Pijx,
the newest of all tho Inglesides, and tho one
requiring the greatest intellectual strain, is
played with dice, aud will be intensely affected
by the few rather than popular with the many.
Perhaps these few hint will be of some use
to your readers who intend making Christinas
gifts.
The I.iiNt of i In- Fut Men.
Very little of the lat men bus been seen since
Meuduy night. The daucing and tho subsequent
refreshments that were rendered ucccssary had
a very wearing effect upon them. Their next
public entertainment will be a elam-bako simi
lar to that held last August in Connecticut.
From this all reporters will bo rigorously ex
cluded, as it is the object of these squabby Syba
rites to enjoy themselves in a quiet way, and
not to bo thrust upon tho public. Individually,
the members of the club are fat; but collectively,
tho subscription list is as yet thin, not number
ing more than between one and two hundred.

Tho New York Clipper states that Miss Laura

this drama. It is important that the real facts of
