THE AIL'S EVENING TELEGRAPH TRIPLE SHEET PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY DECEMBER 17, 1870. 12 X.ITDIULTUILD. MMT1MW Or 2iJW BOOKS. From J. B. Lippincott &. Co. w.bav received tha following Dew publications: "Tbe Destroyer of the Second Republic, being Napoleon the Little," ii the title under which Sheldon t Co. have issued a transla tes of Vietor Hugo s famous tirade Against the "nephew of his node." This book is in Tietor Hugo's best and worst style, audit has particular interest now in view of the astounding events of the past six months. "Napoleon the Little" is not merely an indig nant protest against a great crime, but it is a swathing satire ou the criminal, and its author exhausts his vocabulary of inveotives in en deavoring to express his contempt and hatred fox the individual who ended his career by. the humiliating surrender of Sedan. The work was first published in 185 2, and for eighteen years it has been a standing protest Against the "crime of December 2d;" and f ead to-day, in the light of events that have eourred subsequent to that date, its bitter imsi has increased in intensity by age rather than diminished. 'Napoleon the Little" is cm of the notable books of the age, and it a one of the most important contributions that has yet been made to the literature of the second empire. "The Shadow of Molooh Mountain" is the taking title of a new novel from the pen of Mrs. Jane Q. Austin,' published by Sheldon Jb Co. It is a powerfully written story, irongly marked by the defects no less than he merits of Mrs. Austin's style. The in terest is admirably maintained, and the book is one that few readers will be willing to lay iown before finishing it. "Nature's Aristocracy," by Miss Jennie Collins, published by Lee & Shepard, is an Joqnent plea for not exactly "woman s rights in the usual acceptation of the term, fcvt for the removal of some of the disabilities under which women labor, and for better opportunities for them to work at remunera tive wages. Miss Collins writes earnestly, sad the book is one that those who are in terested in the woman question will find it profitable to read with attention. "Every Day," by the author of "Katharine Morris," published by Noyes, Holmes & Co., M an unpretentious but interesting story that Will find many appreciative readers. Of their own publications J. B. Lippincott & Co. send us the following: "In the Rapids," by Gerald Hart, is a novel of much merit, but surely the author must fee sadly deficient in invention, when he is obliged to fall back upon such a stale and himsy device as the representation that he obtained it from a manuscript found in a fault at the foot of a secret stairway in the demolition of an old family mansion. So far M the story itself is conoerned it is tolerably well told, and some of the incidents are de scribed with much power. "Cross Purposes," by T. C. De Leru, with illustrations by W. B. Myers, is a lively and attractive little Christmas story that will well repay a perusal. "The Merman and the Figure-head," by Clara F. Guernsey, is a Christmas story that is distinguished by much fine humor and quaint fancy. It is illustrated by a number of clever designs of the Messrs. Bensell. From Porter & Coates we have received the following new publications: "Mother Goose for Grown Folks," by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, published by Loring, is a ew and enlarged edition of a boos: that was deservedly popular last season. Mrs. Whit Bey draws a number of morals from "Mother Koose," and her verses will be enjoyed by grown folks as much as the nursery rhymes wre by the youngsters. One of the most successful holiday books f last season was "Midsummer Night's Dream," with illustrations in silhouette by Pal Konewha, ' and Roberts Brothers have Accordingly issued for the present holiday eason a very beautiful volume containing a series of subjects from Goethe's "Faust" by the same artist. Some of these are admira ble, but they do not equal the "Midsummer Might's Dream" designs, for the very suffi cient reason that "Faust" does not furnish the same opportunities for the quaint, tumorous, and graceful display of the artist's fancy that Shakespeare's fairy comedy does, The designs are accompanied by extracts from Mr. Bayard Taylor's new translation of "Fam-t," which will shortly be iwnaed by Fields, Osgood & Co. 4tSink or Swim; or, Ilarry Raymond's Re olve'by Horatio Alger, Jr., publinhed by Loring, is the seoond volume of the "Luck and Pluck" series, and like its predecessor is d signed to illustrate the truth that a manly spirit is better than the gifts of fortune. From T. B. Peterson & Brothers we have teeeived "Garstang Grange," a novel of Eng lish society, by T. Adolphus Trollop, in which he abandons Italy and commences to encroach upon the preserves of his brother; and "Comstock's Elocution," a new edition ef a standard work that has for many years enjoyed a high reputation both with teachers and scholars. The fiftieth number of "Zell's Popular .Encyclopedia" brings us down to the title "Banguinaria." This number, according to the original announcement, would complete the "Encyclopedia," but the improvement introduced since its commencement necessi tate several additional numbers, which wil be furnished to subscribers free of expense, "ZelTa Popular Encyclopedia" is remarkably complete, and considering the extent and value of its contents, it is one of the cheapest books ever published. A more appropriate ift for the holidays could scarcely be sug gested, as it will be a valuable addition to any library and will be appreciated by both old and young. From Turner A Co. we have received J? try Saturday, Apj)letou' Jvuriuil, and Oar l-oyt and Oitlt. From the Central News Company we have received the latent numbers of AU the Year t Jiuumlt pud I'uii, THE MAGAZINES. SCRIBNKirs MONTHLY." The contents of the January number of Scribner's JtontMy are as follows: "Fairmount Tark," illustrated, by Newton Crane; "Kings of the Air," illustrated, by Burt G.

G. Holl and, musio by George J. Huss. The leadingpaper, on "Fairmount Park," by Newton Crane, will especially interest Philadel phia readers. It is a very satisfactory and accurate account of the Park and its history, and it is made additionally attraotive by the numerous illustrations by one of our best Philadelphia landscape artists, Mr. Thomas Moran. The demands of the holiday season have been especially kept in mind in the pre paration of this number of Scribner'e, and its Christmas stories, poems, and illustrations will appeal very forcibly to the popular taste in such matters. The promises held out in the first number of this magazine have been fully kept, atid the issue for January presents a sufficient variety to suit all classes of readers, and it combines in an eminent degree good enter tainment with nsef ul information. Scribner't scarcely cornea into competition with the other magazines of the day, but fills a plaoe of its own, and the success that it has already achieved is a proof that its publishers and editors are upon the right path. "IHB bALAXVi" The contents of the January number of The Galaxy are as follows: "Lady Judith, a Tale of Two Continents,". by Justin McCarthy, chapters xi and xii; "What May Be," by Nora Perry; "David, King of Israel," part ii, by A. H. Guernsey; "Borne Uecollections of an Old Woman," by E. De M.; "Love-Song," by M. F. G.; "Over land," chapters xxii, xxiii, and xxiv, by J. W.

The article in this number of 77k! Galaxy that will probably attract most attention is Mr. Gideon Welles' narrative of "Facta in Relation to the Reinforcement of Fort Pickens in the spring of 18C1." This paper is a continuation of the one by Mr. Welles that exoited so much comment a month or two ago, and it is at the same time a reply to some of the criticisms and explanations called forth by the first article. Mr. Welles in these articles proves that he is now, and that he has been, wider awake than some persons imagined, and whatever opinions may exist as to the justice or in justice of his inferences, he has undoubtedly made a valuable contribution to the inside history of the early days of Mr. Lincoln's administration. The other articles present sufficient variety in style and subject, and 2 he Galaxy commences a new volume and a new year with brilliant prospects of being even more attractive in the future than it has been in the past. The January number of Van NoitranVt EtLtttie Engineerivy Magazine presents a variety of valuable articles culled from the best foreign engineering publications. -The Hurtery for January is nioely illus trated, and is filled with pleasant stories and verses adapted to the tastes of the youngest readers.
