TITE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAril PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1871. XkXTZ2HATT7ZlI3. BSV1SW OF NEW B 0 O K fi. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have received "Italy," translated from the French ( II. Taine by J. Dnrand, published by Lcy poklt & Holt. This is the third edition of one of the moht charming books of travel and art criticism pnblished cf late years, andit combines in odo volnmo the two that have appeared nnder the titles of "Rome and Naples" and "Florence and Venice." It is scarcely possible for anything new to be written about Italy, and yet those who have perused the best works of. Italian travel will find much excellent entertainment in this work of SI. Taine. It is as an art critic, however, that M. Taine is eppecially worthy of attention, and his description of the great works of ancient and modern art in Italy, with his opinions with regard to them, are in the highest degree interesting and valuable. As an art critic M. Taine certainly has no superior at .the present day, and if his writings lack some of the picturesqne ness and glowing eloquence of those of Mr. Ruskin, he has a cultivated judgment and a catholic taste that renders his views with re gard to the artiBtio value of tho great works of ancient and modern art much more worthy of the consideration of intelligent leaders than those of the British critic. The volume before ns is not merely an unusually enter taining work for present perusal, but it is one that deserves a place in the library of every cultivated gentleman for future refer ence ob subjects connected with Italian art. J. 13. Lippincott &. Co. also send us the seventh volume of the series of "Ancient Classics for English Headers," the subject of which is the writings' of Eschylus, by Regi nald S. Coplcston, B. A. This little hand book gives a critical and explanatory descrip tion of tho works of the greatest of the Greek dramatists, interspersed with selec tions from the best translations. It will give general readers an excellent idea of tho merits of iEschylus, and it will be a valuable aid even to those who have tho time, taste, and inclination to study the famous old Greek plays for themselves, either in tho original or in translations. Porter A Coates send us "The Snow Man," by George Sand. Translated by Vir ginia Vaughan, published by Roberts Bros. Borne of the writings of George Sand are cer tainly open to serious objection, but the novels from her pen that have thus far been issued by Messrs. Roberts Brothers have been free from offense, and they have served to make the American public acquainted with Borne of the most charming performances of a woman who, whatever her faults may be, is one of the greatest fiction writers of the day. The novel before us is a fit companion for those which have preceded it, and as an in tensely interesting narrative, constructed with wonderful art, it is sure to find plenty of appreciative readers. A pamphlet published by J. B. Ford & Co., New York, which has been sent us, con tains two sermons hy Rev. Henry Ward Beecher on "The Heavenly State" and "Fu tnre Punishment," in which the peculiar views of their author are set forth in a forci ble manner. From Morris Franck, No. Walnut street, we have received The TeclovAoght for February, which contains a variety of valua ble articles on scientific and practical sub jects. The Central News Company, No. .If)." Chesnut street, send ns the latest numbers of the Sl. James Magazins, Punch, and Fun. From W. S. Turner we have received Applctoa's Journal and Every taturday. TEE OIUOIKALS OF DRAMATIC AND JiOMANTIG CJtAIiACTEIiS. i'l om Every Saturday. . Since the death of Dickens many curious explorers have been industriously at work to discover the "originals" of his most popular characters. Even the name of the fortunate coachman who sat for the portrait of Tony Welle r has been confided to the public In looking over the long list, with its nnsuggestive array of meaningless names, we have been specially struck by the statement that Talfourd was mount when Dickens delineated Traddles, in the novel of "David Copperlield." It was generally known that some boisterous element in the talk of Walter Savage Landor gave the hint to which we owe Mr. Boy thorn; that some "jaunty" element in the character of Leigh Hunt quickened the imagination of the observing humorist when be drew Harold Skimpole; but none was more eager than Dickens him self to protest against identifying Lan dor with Boythorn, or Leih Hunt with Skimpole. It would indeed have been a cruel injustice to suppose that the author of the "Imaginary Conversations" and "Peri cles and Aspasia," full as they are of most delicate discernment of life and character, and indicating resources of scholarship and criticism of which Dickens had not the re motest idea, was fairly included in the humorous conception of Boythorn, a man who does not suggest Landor at all to any reader of his works; and as for Leigh Hunt, the bland selfishness and "genial" rascality of Skimpole throw no light on the character of the intrepid reformer who, with all his weaknesses, was as willing to inhabit a jail rather than recant his political principles, who fought the Tories of England during the thirty years when the Tories were all powerful, and who cordially appreciated as a critio the genius of the writers of the party by which he was inhumanly persecuted both as an author and as a man. Still, there might be some slight foundation for Boy thorn and Skimpole in Landor and Hunt; what possible basis in the habits and charac ter of Talfourd can be adduced to identify him with Traddles? At the time David Copperlield meets Trad tiles, the latter id a brielless lawyer. No we . know perfectly well what were the occupa tions of Talfourd when he was in that un fortunate condition. He was the keenest interpretative critio of the great English writers of the century especially of Words worth, then contemned as a poet both by Whigs and Tories. There is not the bliutest trace of Traddles in Talfourd, as fdr as we know Talfourd through his early writings. lie may have had the charming disinttriet.tedness which Dickens bo delight fully sets forth; he may have had tho exter nal peculiarities which Dickens no gro tesquely caricatures; but an attempt to identify the auinor 01 tne criti cisms on Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Lamb criticisms whose depth and deli cacy Dickens, with all his genius, was hardly competent to appreciate to iden tify the author of "Ion to identify the ao- complished advocate and judge with the Traddles of "David Copperneld," seems to ns the very insanity of research. There is really nothing but a carelessness about the arrange ment of the hair, and a simplicity in self pacrifice which wan, we trust, a characteristic of Talfourd, which can by any possibility connect the two. ' And this brings us to the heart of the question, How far the hints derived from ex ternal observation and reading really serve the great dramatist or novelist in his vital characterization ? We have shown that Dickens could not have dreamed of copying Landor, Hunt, and Talfourd in Boythorn, Skimpole, and Traddles. He simply used a single peculiarity of their minds, or a single peculiarity of their personal appearance, to build np characters entirely distinct iroru them in every other chtrar.lerUUc. Indeed, if novelists and dramatists wore accustomed to use their friends and acquaint ances as subjects to be introduced into their novels and plays, they would be shunned by all decent people as a pestilence is shunned Nobody but the satirist or the caricaturist pretends to draw from actual models, and even the satirist selects his enemies and not his friends for his caustic reproductions of actual men and women; whilst the curica turist confines himself, in his worst exaggera tions, to persons whose publicity is so noto rious that no inquiry is made as to his per sonal knowledge of his victims. The most complete information we possess regarding the sources from which a master of characterization drew bis materials is found in Scott's prefaces to his own novels. In these prefaces the author of Waverley de scribes the original of almost every promi nent character in his works; but the moment we turn from the description to the repre sentation from Helen Walker to Jeauie Deans, from Andrew Gemmells to Edie Ochiltree we discover that we have learned nothing of those processes of genius by which these originals have been trans formed into vivid characters, more attractive and more alive than the majority of actual persons whom we every day meet. Helen Walker is the original of Jeanie Deans in some such sense as a block of marble is the original of Story's Sybil. The thing really to be considered is the transformation effected by genius, not the source from which the ori ginal suggestion was derived, and of this secret Scott tells ns nothing. Of all novelists of genius Jane Austen is perhaps the closest to actual life and charac ter; but she is still a creator, and not a copy ist or photographer. Her characters have souls, though some of them may have very small ones; and to put a soul into an imagined character is the most difficult of all the tasks of genius. She is famous for her clergymen, and these are generally so commonplace as just to escape being characterless. Her art. indeed, is in delineating character without availing herself of its obtrusive peculiarities. In one case she has departed from her ordi nary method, and produced a humorous mas terpiece. We refer, of course, to the Rev, Mr. Collins, in "Pride and Prejudice." Doubtless some actual clerical sycophant sng gested this delicious fool; but if she had merely attempted to reproduce him literally we should have had only a satirioal result. But the hint derived from the proto type tickled her sense of humor so keenly that she indulged for once in the very in toxication of mirth, and revelled in her vivid and joy-inspiring conception of clerical folly as Ben Jonson revelled in the conception of Captain Bobadil, and as Dickens revelled in the conception of Tony Waller. The prim perfection of her ordinary clergyman dis appears in this masterpiece. Of all her male characters it approaches the nearest to broad caricature; of all her male characters it impresses us the most with a sense of the possibilities of her humorous genius. That it is not a copy, but a crea tion, is proved by the thorough geniality of the delineation. The original of Mr. Collins was nndoubtedly a despised bore; the ideal Mr. Collins is too laughable to be dull, and gives us too much pleasure to be an object of scorn. As the clerical toad necessitates the aristocratic tyrant, the haughty stupidity of Lady Catherine de Bourgh is an artistio result of the sycophantic stupidity of Air. Collins, and we accordingly have, in Pride and Pre judice," two characters overcharged with humorous vitality instead of one. It would be easy to show that every novelist and dramatist who has succeeded in arresting the attention of the world has succeeded by his or her genius, and not by the materials on which the genius was exercised. The attempt to state the "originals" of romantic characters has the fatal defect of overlooking tee essential lact to be considered the origi nanty or tne creators. A PARALLEL. The Present Invmlon of France, nnd French Ivaln ol prsaluln IbOti. From the 1'all Mall Gazette. the There is a remarkable resemblance in soma points between the history of the present campaign of the Prussians in France and that of tne k rencn in l'russiann 1 ). Indeed, tne records of that period might with a change of names be almost taken for stray pages of the war literature of lb 70. After the battle of Auerstadt, which was lost by the Prussians chiefly owing to the mismanagement of their generals, and the surrender of Erfurt and Napoleon s entry of Perlin, occurred the capi tulation of Prince Ilohenlohe and his army, then the retreat of lilucher to Lubeck, the storming of that city, and tho surrender of lilucher with the wreck of the forces under his command. After this the Prussian fortresses fell an easy prey to the French, and then with more reason than now it was said that these for tresses might have held out for some time longer. When Hpandau capitulated on the 21th 01 October, the rencn observed that, well defended, it might have sustained a aiece of two months after the trenches had been opened. Stettin surrendered on the Jtn 01 October, camtnlatincr to the first column of French troops that appeared be fore it, who found to their surprise that it contained a garrison of (MM) fine-looking iruupn, urn pieces 01 cannon, aud abundant luugbzines or all sorts. Oustrin, a plaoe of conbiuerauie mrengin, and 01 irreat imuor. lance on account of its situation on the Odar. surrendered to Marshal lavoiwt on the 1st of November, as noon as it was invested and summoned, thongn its garrison consisted of 4000 men, amply provided with magazine. Magdeburg, the bulwark of the Prussian monarchy on its western frontier, capitulated to Marshal Ney on the (lib. of November, after a few bombs had been tar own into tne city; and Harneln, the chief fortress of the Electo rate of Hanover, hud not even that excuse for its surrender on the S.'0th of the same month. In Magdeburg were found 22,000 troops, in cluding 2000 artillerymen, and in iiamein mere was a l'russian carnson oi ywtj men, with six months' provisions and stores, and ammunition of every kind. The French general to whom the place was given up bad no forces with him except two uutcn regi ments and a single regiment of light infantry. in tne meantime another inferior army as sembled at Wesel, nnder tho command of Lonis Bonaparte, the newly-created King of Holland, overran the Prussian provinces of Westphalia, and penetrated into tne Electo rate of Hanover; and a still smaller corps nnder Oeneral Dandaels took possession or Emden and East Friesland. At Munster and other places valuable magazines fell into the hands of the invaders, and no resistance was anywhere made to them. Harneln, as before stated, was given up to General Savory, and Nieuberg, the last place of the Electorate held by the Prussians, capitulated a few days afterwards (viz., on tho i'.th of November). The surrender of I'lussenberg, a small fortress in tne territory of Hayrentb, com pleted tne con, quest of the Prussian fortresses in Germany to the west of the Oder. Then, as now, there was for a few days some hope of an armistice. After the battle of Auerstadt. Lucchesini was despatched by the Kins of Prussia to tne rrtnen neadquartera to negotiate peace, ana on arriving there on the '2d of October, Duroc was named by the French Emperor to negotiate with him. At first the Prussian Minister was amused with hopes of conclud ing a peace on the terms which he was autho- rized to offer; but as the situation of his sovereign became every day more desperate by the capture of his armies and surrender of his fortified places, the demands of the French rose in proportion, and at length Napoleon explicitly declared teat he would never quit Berlin nor evacuate Poland till Moldavia aad Wallachia were yielded by the Russians in complete sovereignty to the Porte, and till a general psace was concluded on the basis of the restitution of all the Spanish, i rench, and Dutch colonies and possessions taken by Great Britain during the war. With this declaration all hopes of peace vanished; in stead of which an armistice was proposed by the French, and after much fruitless negotia tion concluded byLucchesini on November l'; but the terms were so disadvantageous that the King of Prussia on the 22d refused to ratify it, and the war was prosecnted with unremitted activity. Perhaps Count Bis marck happens to remember this history of the events which occurred in October and November sixty-four years ago, when Count von Moltke was an innocent child of seven years old, and has been in some degree in flu- enced by the precedents afforded by the con duct of the Emperor Napoleon I towards rrussia in lH()f.
