THE DA1L5T EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, F.UDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1870 AT msvijsw or nevt book b. From Porter A Coates we have reoaivel "Lay Bermens, Addresses, and Reviews," by Thomas Henry Huxley, LL. D., F. It S. Fnblished by D. Appleton fc Co. This bo A is a collection of the various addresses that have been delivered by Professor Huxley be fere both soientiflo and popular audiences in England daring the last sixteen yearn, and the papers he has contributed ty various magazines and reviews during the same period. The subjects treated of are: "On the Advisableness of Improving Natural Know ledge," 'Emancipation Blaok and White," "A Liberal Education, and where to find it," "Scientific Education," "On the 'Edu cational Value of the Natural His tory Sciences," "On the Study of Zoology," 4 'On the Physical Basis of Life," "The Scientific Aspect of Fositivism," "On a Pieoe of Chalk," "Geological Con temporaneity and Persistent Types of Life," "Geological Reform," "The Origin of Species," "Criticisms of 'The Origin of Spe cies,' " "On Descartes' 'Discourse Touching the Method of Using One's Reason Rightly and of Speaking Scientific) Truth,' " and 'Spontaneous Generation." Frofessor Hux ley is one of the most advanced scientific thinkers and investigators of the day, and the book before ns, which presents his theories in a compact and popular form, should be read by all who wish to obtain a proper idea of the position in which such men as Huxley, Darwin, aad other seekers after truth stand, especially in relation to the moral and religious ideas of the age. Frofessor Ilux'ey's peouliar theories have been savagely attacked, especially by theo logians; but any candid reader of the work before ns must admit that much of the antagonism manifested toward him is due to the fact that his oppo nents cannot or will not take an un prejudiced view of his side of the case, and that an apparent antagonism toward the reli gious ideas of the day upon his part has been developed more by the over-zeal of his oppo nents than by anything that he has really said or done. But whether the reader will agree with Frofessor Huxley or not in some of his peculiar views, the book before us is one that ought to engage the attention of thinking men, and, apart from its scientific themes, there will be found in it much hard common sense, especially about education, that will commend itself to those who think that culture should consist in something else than a familiarity with the Greek and Latin lassies. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived "Opium and the Opium Appetite," by Alonzo Calkin, M. D. This very interesting work is a complete history of opium-eating in all ages and countries, with a scientific analysis of all the phases of the opium appe tite, and much valuable information with regard to the manufacture of the drug and the commerce in it. The subject has never been treated before with anything like the same thoroughness, and Dr. Calkin has pro duced a book that will be a physiological study for the medical man and a psychological study for the philanthropist. Incidentally, notices of other narcotics and stimulants are made, such as alcoholic beverages, cannabis indica, tobacco, and cocoa, tea, and cof fee, in their hygienio aspects and pathologi cal relations. Dr. Calkin's literary style is very involved, and on that account his book is not aB easy or as pleasant reading as it mioht be, but it contains a great amount of very interesting and valuable information, and it will well repay a perusal from those who read only for amusement. "Who was She?" published by Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, is a story of very de cided merit, but which bears upon its pages the evidences of being a first effort. The plot Is well digested, ana tnere are some admirable sketches of charaoter and some fine bits of description. There are numerous crudities of style, but the excel lences of the Ktory are more than enough to counterbalance them, and give reasonable expectation of something better from the same pen in future. From D. Ashmead we have received "Our Sister Republic." by Colonel Albert S. Evans. Published by the Columbian Book Company. This is an animated description of a trip through Mexico during 180!) and 1870, and it abounds in picturesque descrip tions of the country and people. The author undertakes to defend the Mexicans from many of trie aspersions tnat are cast upon their national as well as their p ersonal char acter, bnt It appears to ns tnat be takes a rather more favorable view of the oondition of things in general in Mexico than the facts warrant. The journey of which this beok is record was taken in company with Mr. Seward upon his recent trip to Mexico, and the author had excellent opportunities to see the best side of everything, and his book, if not very profound, is written in a readable and entertaining style that will commend it to the masr of readers. J. B. Lippincott fc Co. send us "Piano and Musical Matter," by G. de la Motte. Published by Lee & Sbepard. The issue of a fourth edition of this work within a very few months of its first appearance is the best evidenoe that could be adduced to show the apprecia tion in which it is held by musicians. It contains within a small compass a great variety of valuable Information on musical subjects, and it should be in the hand of every student of music who wishes to knor something of the science of the art. "The jEneid in Modern American" U ttia title of a brochure published from tho Win stead Herald office, Winstead, Conneottaut, the author of which has bad the grace t keep his name from the title-page. It consist of the first and fourth books of the "aeid," rendered into flowing verse and rather slangy language. The first book is in the hexameters of the original, or what are near caough to hexameters for all practical pur- pon s. The fourth book, for variety sake we presume, is rendered in a somewhat livelier measure. The translator calls this transla tion an earnest effort to give the grand old poet a Jif, in view of the fact that classical learning seems to be falling into disrepute, and we cordially aid bim in his effort by praising it as about as elever a bit of fun as we have met with for some time. In spite of the free and easy "modern American" into which the lines of Virgil have been turned, the translation is often curiously close to the original ' The pamphlet is illustrated by a number of clever conaio cuts, which exhibit .Eneas and his comrades from a strictly modern American point of view. rart No. 48 of "Zell s Popular Encyclo pedia" reaches the title "Reconnaissance. This valuable work is now fast approaching completion, and those who contemplate sub scribing should do so at once, for it will ouly be on sale at the subscription price for a limited period. It is undoubtedly the mist complete work of the kind that has ever been issued at anything like the same price; and although its articles are neoessarily brief, it is, in the variety of its subjects and the late date to which it is brought down, the most complete encyclopedia before the public. As a work of ready reference it will be invalu able, and it should find a place upon the shelves of every library. From Turner & Co. we have re3eived Eury Saturday, Appleton'1! Journal, and Our Boys and Girls. The Central News Company sends us the latest numbers of Punch and Fun. Peterson's Counterfeit Detector tot No vember 15 contains descriptions of several new and dangerous counterfeits, and other important information. DISRAELI'S CHAPTER GUAPUY. OF AUTO BIO- The English papers publish Mr. Disraeli's preface to the collected edition of his works a sort of Jiwgrapnia L Mltruria. We make the following interesting extracts: An American gentleman, with more than courtesy, has forwarded to me a vast number of notices of "Lot b air" which have auoeared in the leading journals of his country. He tells me that, irrespective of literarv -organs, mere are in tne union 5000 news paperv, aim 11. is uut lmpossiDie tnit Rome notice of ".Liotbair might appear iu each of these. However various may be the ooiniou of those which I thus possess, they appear to me generally to oe sincere, and in point of literary ability, taste, style, and critical acu men, l trunk tuey need not fear competition wnn tne similar productions of our owa laud. My HiUglish publishers have also made coiiecnou oi me notices oi tuis work iu our own country, and, though we have not yet five thousand newspapers, the aggregate of ii .i ii . . , . articles is in amount perhaps unprecedented l nave not hid g to complain of in their ro marks. One could hardly expect at home the judicial impartiality of a forewn land. Per Bona! Influences inevitably mingle in some degree wim sncn productions. There are critics who abstractly do not approve of successful books, particularly if they have failed in the same style ; social acquaintances also of a lettered taste, and especially contemporaries wnose puoiic nie nag not exactly realized the vain dreams of their fussy existence, would seize the accustomed opportunity of welcom ing with affected discrimination about nothing, and elaborate controversy about trifles, the production of a f noud; and there is always, both iu politics and literature, the race oi the Dennises, the Oldmixons, and (Juris, wno natter themselves that by syste niaucuiiy liDeriing some eminent personage of their times they have a chance of de ecenoing to posterity; dui, so lar as l am concerned, they have always been disap pointed. A distinguisned individual Has suggested that, in a preface to the edition of my col lected works, I might give my own views of the purpose of "Lot hair. It strikes me, with all deference, that it would be not i little presumptuous for an author thus to be theself-cntioof volumes which appeared only a few months ago. Their purport to the writer seems clear enough, and as they have been more extensively read both by the people of the United Kingdom and the United States than any work that has appeared for the last half century, I will even venture to assume that on this point they are of the same opin ion asm; self. But, on some other works, the youngest of which were written a quarter of a century go, it would perhaps he in me not imperti nent now to make a few remarks. "Uo ningsby," "Sjbil," and "Tancred"' form a real Trilogy that is to say, they treat of the same subject, and endeavor to complete that treatment. The origin and character of our political parties, their influence on the condi tion of the people of this country, some pic ture of the moral and pbysioal oondition of that people, and some intimation of the means by which it might be elevated and improved, weie themes which had long en gaged my meditation. Born in a library, and trained from early cLildhood by learned men who did not shara the passions and the prejudices of our politi cal and social lift), I had imbibed on some subjects conclusious differ cut from those which generally prevail, and especially with reference to the history of our own country. How an oligarchy had been substituted for a kingdom, and a narrow-minded and bigotod fanaticism flourished in the name of religious liberty were problems long to lie insoluble, but which early interested me. Bat what most attracted my musing, even as a boy, were the elements of our political parties, and the straige uiystitiaatiou by which that which was national in its constitution had become odious, and that which was exolusivo wue presented as popular. To change back the oligarchy into a gene rous aristocracy round a real throne; to in fuse life and vigor into the Church as the trttiner of the na'ion, by the revival of con vocation, then damb, on a wide bsis, and uot, as has been since done, in the shape of a priestly section; to establish a commercial code ou the principles successfully negotiated by Lord Blii!gtrokt at Utrecht, and whioa, though ballled at tbe time by a Whig Parlia ment, were subsequently and triuuuphanfly vindicated by his political pupil and heir, Mr. Pit; to govt-rn Ireland according to the po licy of Ciiurlta I and not of t liver Cromwell; to emancipate the political constituency of 1 from ita sectarian bondage and contrasted fcympathiee; to elevate the physio tl as well as tie moral condition cf tbo p'jo.jle, by oata Llibhicg that labor required regulation as ranch ns property, and all this rather by the use ;t ancient forms and tbe restoration or the st than by political revolutions founded on i t M tract ideas, appeared to be tbe course wl.i. h the circumstances of this country re-qn-ied, and which, practically speaking, could oLly, with all their faults and baokslidings, be undertaken and aooomplished by a recon structed TDry party. The derivation and charaoter of political parties, the oondition of the people which bad been the consequence of them, the duties of the Church as a main remedial agency in our present state, were the three principal topics which I intended to treat, but I found they were too vast for the space I had allotted to myself. These were all launched in "Uontngsby; but the origin and condition of political par ties the first portion of the theme was the only one completely handled in that work. I had been in Parliament seven years when the trilogy was published, and during that period 1 had not written anything; but in 1837, the year I entered the House of Com mons, I had published two works, "Henrietta Temple" and "Venetia." These are not po litical works, but they would commemorate feelings more enduring than public passions, and they were written with care and some de light. They were inscribed to two friends, the best I ever had, and not the least gifted. One was the inimitable D Orsay, the most accomplished and the most engaging charac ter that has figured in this century, who, with the form and universal genius of an Alcibiades, combined a brilliaut wit and a heart of quick affection, and who, placed in a pnblio position, would have dis played a courage, a judgment, and scorn- mending intelligence which would have ranked him with the leaders of mankind. The other was one who bad enjoyed that public opportunity which had been denied to Count 1) Orsay. The world has recognized the political courage, the versatile ability, and the masculine eloquence of Lord Lynd- burst; but his intimates only were acquainted with the tenderness of his disposition, the sweetness of his temper, his ripe scholar ship, and tbe plaj fulness of his bright and airy spirit. There was yet a barren interval of five years of my life, so far as literature was con cerned, between the publication of "Hen rietta Temple" and "Venetia," and my earlier works. In 1WJ 1 had published "(Jontarina Fleniino" and "Alroy." I had then returned from two years' travel in the Mediterranean regions, and I published "Contarina Fleming" anonymously, and in the midst of revolution. It was almost stillborn, and having written it with dceu thought and teeling, l was naturally discouraged from further effort. like me, be inclined to despair, may learn also from my example not to be precipitate in his resolves. Gradually, "Contarina Fleming" found sympathizing readers; Goethe and Beckford were impelled to com municate their unsolicited opinions of this work to its anonymous author, and I have seen a criticism on it by Heine, of which any writer may be justly proud. Yet all this does not prevent me from being conscious that it would have been better if a subject so essen tially psychological had been treated at a more mature period of life. I had comuienoed "Alroy" the ye:r after my first publication, and had thrown the manu script aside. Beicg at Jerusalem in the year 18SJ1, and visiting the traditionary tombs of the kings, my thoughts recurred to the mar vellous career which had attracted my boy hood, and I shortly after finished a work wLich I began the year after I wrote "Vivian Gray. What my opinion was of that my first work, written in lfc'O, was shown by my publishing my secorid anonymously. Books written by boys which pretend to give a picture of manners and to deal in knowledge of human nature must be affected. They can be, at the best, but tbe results of imagination acting on knowledge not acquired by experience. Of such circumstances exaggeration is a necessary connequenee, and false taste accompanies ex aggeration. Nor is it necessary to remark that a total want of art must be observed in such pages, for tbat is a failing incident to all first efforts. "Vivian Grey" is essentially a puerile work, but it has baffled even the efforts of its creator to suppress it. Its fate has been strange; and not tho least remarka ble thiug is, that forty-four years after its publication I must ask the indulgence of the reader for its continued and inevitable reap pearance. EXTRA VA GANCE. Articles of French production have natu rally increased in price. Champagne wine bae ftlt the effects of the desolation of the whole region in which it is produced, and tbe wine merobants nave put up tne price in proportion to tbe cost of their future sup plies. Kid gloves have likewise felt in ad vance tho expected effects of a short supply from a beleaguered city. Fortunately, these are articles tbat ve can well dispense with. The less champagne that is brought into the country the better; it is not only an un healtbful extravagance. Nowhere in the world, except, perhaps, in some of the hpaniBli American countries, do men drink wine at an ordinary dinner at a second- class restaurant, and pay five dollars a bottle for it. frenchmen buv it for a dollar, and drink but little of it at that cost. It we must drink wine, which is bad, but not near so bad as drinking whisky, let a taste be cultivated for the American wines, which are generally pnrer than the imported, and are equally palatable, and will do a man less harm. Tne matter of gloves belongs to the ladies. We confess to a weakness toward gloves, and always thought that extravagance in gloves and slippers was more than innocent, tnat it rose to the dignity of a female virtue, it is but juftt to the sex to sav that they have never failed in their duty in this regard, and whatever faults maybe charged to them, they nave not noen wanting lu this excellence. But gloves do not come from Paris alone, nor from r ranee alone. Xbe 1 renoh are tbe best and much the dearest. Very good gloves can be broucnt at retail for tweutv-nve cents in Italy and in some other parts of Europe, and the English gloves are very good. There is no sense in giving $:) for a pair of gloves that a body win wear only once or twice. Let the cheaper articles be introduced among those wbo set the fashions and fix the mea sure of extravagance.
