XMY1BW OF NSW M00K8.
From Torter & Coates we have receded
"Lethair," by the Right Honorable B. Dis
raeli. Published by D. Appletoa k Co. Die
yaeli haa ontlired the rather dubious reputa
tion he achieTed in his younger days as the
author of Beyeral third-rate novels which
would hare been forgotten long ago if their
author had not made a distinguished mark
in politics and filled some of the highest
offices under the British Government. The
two most remarkable things about his new
attempt in the field of fiction are that a cool,
cunning, and far-sighted man like Disraeli
should be willing to subject himself to the
austio criticisms that intelligent
readers cannot but bestow tipon such
a performance as "Lothair;" and, secondly,
that the leading journals of England and
America should be able to find anything" in it
worthy of the lavish praises that have been
bestowed upon it on both sides of the At
lantic. It is possible to account for this last
mystery, however, on the supposition that
the professional critics did not take the
trouble to read the book, as indeed they
scarcely could have done, as most of the re
views appeared within a few hours of its pub
lication. If . "Lothair" had been written by
some obscure scribbler, and not by a promi
nent British politician and ex-Premier, it
would have been dismissed with half a dozen
lines by most of the journals that are
now lauding it to the skies, and it would
have been forgotten even by the
patrons of the circulating libraries within six
months.- Being the work of an eminent
public man and an ex-Premier, it is, of
course, entitled to more respectful treatment
than this, and really "Lothair" is worth read
ing, if only to find out what an intolerably
poor and flashy novel a British ex-rremier
can produce. Mr. Disraeli never wrote a
Bovel in his life that was worthy of perusal
on its own account, and "Lothair" is his most
indifferent performance. ,
Ihe plot is designed to expose the machina
tions of the Catholic Church in England, and
is an exposition of the fine old Tory Church
and State doctrine of which Mr. Disraeli is
one of the principal champions on the floor
of the House of Commons. The hero is
supposed, on good grounds, to represent the
young and wealthy Marquis of Bute, whose
conversion to the Roman creed created such
a sensation a few years ago, and the other
principal personages are labelled by the Eng
lish reviewers with the names of prominent
men and women of the day. Mr. Disraeli
describes only high life, the very highest
kind of highest life so high, indeed, that we
have great doubts whether anything like it
exists on this poor, miserable earth of oars
or anywhere else than in the imaginations of
flashy Btory-writers. To be sure, Mr. Dis
raeli has had opportunities for studying the
personal appearance, the habits, and the
habitations of the British aristocracy such as
are accorded to but few story-writers; but
admitting all this, there is such an extra
ordinary bigness about the houses, such a
more than than Oriental gorgeousness about
the furniture, such a bloodedness about the
horses, and such a superfine refinement
about the dukes and duohesses, the earls and
countesses, and all the other high-born peo
ple who figure in "Lothair," that we cannot
resist the impression that Mr. Disraeli never
saw anything of the kind in either England, .
Scotland, Wales, or Ireland, or anywhere else
but in bis own excited imagination. This
sort of thing answers very well for the readers
of the sensation story papers, but Mr. Dis
raeli in his "Lothair" addresses a different
kind of audience, and as he is no novice in
the art of - novel-making, we have a right to
expect something better from him. Even
this super-gorgeousness of description, how
ever, might be excused if there was some
substantial merit behind it,' but, with the ex
ception of occasional brilliant passages, where
the politician and man of the world are shown
rather than the novelist, there is, really
nothing in "Lothair" that will redeem it from
utter condemnation as a work of art.
Very different from the above is "Ham
mer and Anvil," by Friedrich Spielhagen,
published by Leypoldt & Holt, which we have
received from Claxton, Bemsen fc Haffel-
finger. With this' author novel-making is
really a fine art, and his productions will
have a permanent interest that no extraneous
circumstances can ever give to those of the
brilliant British politician. Spielhagen has
a brightness of wit and humor and a vivacity
of style that are somewhat remarkable in
German, combined with , a high moral pur
pose and a predisposition for metaphysical
speculation and refined mental analysis that
are characteristic of the best German style of
writing. In "Hammer and Anvil' the pro
blem of capital and labor is considered, and
although it is not obtruded offensively, the
whole purpose of the book is to indicate a
solution of the great social problem of the
day upon a broad basis of humanity. These
things, however, are subordinated in a great
degree, and the novel is interesting on ao---count
of its characters rather than for its
plot, which is rather vague and shadowy. ' ' ,
- The characters are drawn with that mas
terly skill for which Spielhagen is remarka
ble, and which places him in the front rank
of t the novelists of the day. None but an
artist of genius could have indicated with a
few decided but delicate touches such a char
acter as "Constance vou Zehren," beside
which the "Lady Audleys" and ether beauti
ful demons of the Braddon school of fiction
are mere daubs of pitch. As a novel, "Ham
mer and Anvil" is not equal to "Problematic
Characters," but it is a work of very decided,
merit that will repay more than one perusal.'
The same house sends us "Miss Van Kort
land,"bythe author of "My Daughter ' Eli
nor." Published by Harper & Brothers. This
is a fresh, light, and very entertaining novel
f American life. It has some very palpable
faults of style, and the author sometimes
fails to be brilliant because he strives to be
so, but the story is well told and the char
acters sketched with much skill, while the
descriptions of scenery and incident show the
writer to.be a keen observer who has the
artist faculty of transferring the result of his
observations to his pages and making his
readers see as vividly as he does himself.
' From the American Sunday-School Union
we have received the following religious
stories for children: "Reports, and the Mis
chief They Do;" "On Looking Seedy;" "We
versus I;" "Experiences of a Church Plate,"
and ."Born with a Silver Spoon in His
Mouth."
From Turner A Co. we have received the
June number of Our Young Folki, which
presents an attractive list of reading matter
for young people, nicely illustrated by artists
of ability. .
Messrs. Turner & Co. also send us the
FhrenologicalJournal for June, which con
tains a variety of information on the subject
of bumps.
' The June number of the Riverside
MonVily has a poetical contribution by Hans
Christian Andersen, entitled "A Spring Song,"
and a number of entertaining stories and
sketches by favorite writers, and pictures by
Stephens, Hoppin, and other artists.
Hie Bureau is the title of a publication
which was commenced at Chicago on the 1st
of October, 18C9, as a chronicle of the com
merce and manufactures of Chicago and the
Northwest. The enterprise succeeded far
beyond the anticipations of its projectors,
and it was determined to merge the proprie
torship into that of a company, in order to
extend the field of its influence and useful
ness. Hie Bureau is an advocate of protec
tion as the only sound policy, and it is
devoted to the promotion of all the industrial
interests of the Northwest. The May number,
which is now before us, is filled with interest
ing and valuable articles, original and se
eded, and we commend it to the considera
tion of our business men who wish to be
informed about industrial and commercial
matters not only in Chicago but in all parts
of the United States.
The May number of The Journal of The
Franklin Institute contains several interest
ing papers on scientific subjects.
The Central News Company, No. 50."
Chesnut street, send us the latest numbers of
Punch and Fun.
THE JUNE MAGAZINES.

litt," by H. T. Tuckerman; "In June," by

Court," IH; "The Logic of Marriage and
Murder," by Henry , James; "Reviews and
Literary Notices," by John Fiske, Henry
James, T. W. Higginson, J. J. Piatt, and W.
D. nowells.
From Mr. James Parton's review of "The
Correspondence of Napoleon Bonaparte" we
quote as follows:
At St. Helena, in conversation with the
companions of his exile, Napoleon designated
the moment when he first felt the stirrings of
lawless ambition. it was not uu after ixdi.
he said, "that I was struck with the possibility
of my becoming a decided actor on the
scene of political events. Then was
enkindled tne first spars: of a lofty am
bition." Having a lively recollection of
this sentence, which we read long ago in Mr.
Abbott's entertaining volume upon Napoleon
at St. Helena, we had the curiosity to turn to
the letters written by Ueneral lionaparte at
the time, to see if there was anything in them
to confirm his statement. Yes: just after
Lodi, for the first time he begins to protest
and swear that his only ambition is to serve
France in any capacity which the Directory
may be pleased to assign him. Five days
after his troops had given him, at the bridge
of Ijooi, tnat surprising proet of devotion,
he writes to his patron, Carnot, "Whether
I make war here or elsewhere is indifferent
to me. To serve my country, to deserve
from posterity one ' leaf of our history, to
give the Government proofs of my attach
ment and devotion this is all my ambition.'
It is a touch worthy of Shakespeare. Thus
might the great dramatist have indicated the
birth of an ambition. '
I It was after Lodi, too, that he showed his
eager promptitude to reward those who
served him, and his tact in adapting the re
ward to the nature of the case. The battle
of Lodi was won by the column that rushed
across the bridge in the face of thirty pieces
of cannon and the fire of infantry. The
uenerai caused a printed list of tne names
of the men composing the column to be
posted in every 'district of France where any
one of them resided! Could any reward
have been more thrilling to the men or
more promotive of the next consorip
0k A A. 1-1 a
uonr At a inter aay it became a cus
tom with him to have such lists posted
upon tne paribii churches of the soldiers
wnom ue uetureu to uouor. sui wnen once
a priest presumed to read the list to his
parishioners in the church, the master wrote
from Vienna to the minister of police to for
bid tne repetition 01 me act; because, said
he, in substanoe, - if priests may announce
victories, they may comment upon them, and
if bad news should arrive, they may comment
upon that. "Priests must be used with civi
lity, but not made too much of."
''' i '. "
The correspondence, "reticent as it is con'.
cerninc; whatever tends to exhibit Napoleon
vulnerable, shows plainly enough that it was
Nelson who destroyed him. . Nelson hit him
two blows Nile and Trafalgar. By the battle
of tne Aile he penned mm in
Egypt, killed his Indian projects, and
reduced him to absolute paralysis for a year
and a half. By Trafalgar he again destroyed
the French naval power, made invasion of
England impossible, and compelled Napoleon
to continue his policy of lighting England
upon the territories of her allies. . In other
words, he penned him in the continent of
Europe. This led to that prodigious exten
sion of bis operations, until he had vast
armies in Spain, Italy, Prussia, Russia, and
France, and bad so distended his ""empire"
that ten cold nights in Bussia at the time
when his power seemed greatest caused his
ruin. This was Nelson's work, and well Napo-'
leon knew it; for there is not in all these
volumes one allusion to the battle of Trafal
gar. It is a tell-tale silence. Amid the bulletin!
of Austerlitz few except the master knew what
had happened upon the ocean; and except
himself perhaps no one comprehended its
importance.
The creat question of the reitrn of Napo
leon is: Which was to blame for breaking the
peace of Amiens, the English Government or
the French? This correspondence confirms
the constant assertion of French historians,
that the responsibility is to be laid at Ens-
land's door. Bonaparte wanted peace; that is
plain. Peace was his interest; that is unde
niable. England had agreed to evacuate
Malta, and when the time came refused to
give it up; that also is certain. England
should have frankly accepted Napoleon as
head of the French Government, and
forborne to give a pretext for breaking
the peace to a man so exquisitely skilled
in the use of deadly weapons. On the
other hand, what absurdity more complete
than for France to go to war with Great
Britain for a little distant island in which
neither of them had any rights ? We cannot
dwell npon this point, although there is no
volume of the correspondence in whieh
Napoleon's talents are more brilliantly ex
hibited than in the one which contains his
letters and instructions previous to the decla
ration of war in 1802. He had the advan
tage of being technically in the right; and
Lngland labored under the disadvantage
of putting forward a pretext, instead of
the real grievance. Napoleon's matchless
skill in the use of deadly weapons was the
real grievance. The peace was broken, coa
litions were formed and renewed, because
our crowned persons in Europe felt that they
were not safe while such a man controlled the
resources and commanded the armies of
France.
The proper head of a nation is a sound
average man one whom the average citizen
can recognize as a man and a brother; one
who will keep the brilliant minister or great
general always in mind of the homely mate
rial with which governments have to deal;
one who will embody and represent the vis
inertia of things. Bismark, firmly astride of
Prussia, would ride that great kingdom to the
Devil, aa Bonaparte did France or Hamilton
might the United (states, if average human
nature had not stood in his way, repre
sented in the august person of George
Washington. It is mankind whom the head
of a government should represent. The
exceptionally gifted individual who serves
under him needs his restraining slowness and
caution, as much as the chief needs the light
and help of minds specially endowed.
Uf all this .Napoleon knew nothing.
His poor ambition was to reign, , "For
the Pope," said he, "I am Charlemagne, be
cause I reunite the crown of France to that
of the Lombards;" and he told his brother
Joseph, when he put him up as King of
Naples, that he wished his "blood" to reign
in Naples as long as in France, for "the
kingdom of Naples was necessary to him,"
it is at once ludicrous and affecting to see
such a man so infatuated with the part he
was playing, to read in his letters to kings,
emperors, and popes such expressions as
"my house," "the princes of my house,"
"my capital" (meaning Paris), "my good
city of Lyons," "my armies," "my fleet,'
"my kingdom of Italy;" and to read elabo
rate papers rearranging states and nations in
in which everything . was considered except
the will of the people inhabiting them,
i Nothing will astound the reader of these
volumes more than the bulletins, dictated by
Napoleon on the field, and published in the
Moniteur by his command. It was those
bulletins that kept France in . a state of de
lirium, and drew to distant fields of carnage
the flower of her youth and the annual harvest
of her educated talent. He was accustomed
to send every day or two from the seat of war,
when anything extraordinary had occurred,
chatty, anecdotical bulletins, designed
chiefly to keep up the martial frenzy of
the French; but he inserted also many
Earagraphs intended to sow dissension among
is enemies, knowing well that these docu
ments would be closely scanned at every
court, club, and headquarters in Europe.
Those anecdotes of the devotion of the troops
to the Emperor which figure is so many
biographies . and histories, here they are,
where they originated, in the bulletins dic
tated by Napoleon's mouth, corrected by his
band, and published by his command in the
official newspaper of his empire, and now
given to the world as part of his correspond
ence by the head of his family !
I For military men we must find room for a
curious order addressed to Marshal Berthier
at Boulogne, in 1805,' just as Napoleon was
about to begin that swift, silent march across
Europe which ended at Aunterlitz. It shows
bow little magio there was in his proceedings,
and by what homely, plodding labors the
most brilliant results are produced. . "My
cousin" (lie called all his marshals cousin),
VI desire you to have two portable boxes
made, with compartments one for me and
the other for yourself. The compartments
will be arranged in such a way that, with the
aid of written cards, we can know at a glanoe
the movements of all the Austrian troops,
regiment by regiment, battalion by battalion,
even to detachments of - any considerable
magnitude. You will divide the compart
ments into as many divisions as there are
Austrian armies, - and you will reserve some
pigeon-holes for the troops which the
Emperer of Germany has in Hungary, in
iionenua, and in tne interior of ms states.
Every fifteen days you will send me a state
ment of tne changes that have taken place
during the preceding fifteen days; availing
yourself for this purpose. " not only of the
German and Italian newspapers, but of all
the information which my minister for
foreign affairs may send you; with whom you
will correspond for this object. Employ the
same individual to change the cards and to
draw up the statement of the Austrian armies
every fifteen days. P. a. You must intrust
this business to a man who will have nothing
else to do, whe knows German well, and who
will take all the German and Italian papers,
and make the changes which they indicate.'
