THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1871. LITERATURE. SSYIEW OF HEW BOOKS. From Farter fc Coates we bare received 'Crown Jewels; or, the Dream of an Empire," fey Emmt L. Moffett. Fablished by Carleton. When we state that thie ia aa historical ro mance, with Maximilian, the bogus Emperor of Mexioo, for its hero, and that its author is not only a woman bnt a Southern woman, Columbus, Georgia, being her dwelling-place, we have given a tolerable hint with regard to vthat may be expeoted by those who propose to peruse it. The chief characteristic of the feminine novelists of the sunny South is gush, but the exuberant sentimentalism of lliss Evans, the authoress of "Valerie Ayl xner," and other ladies who head the by no means extensive list of Southern novel writers, is tameness beside the "fine frenzy" of the writer of "Crown Jewels." The opening lines of this remarkable performance will give our readers an idea of its quality: "The sun Is westering slowly towards IU setting?. The low, murky clouds that nave hung as a pall over tne earth, are glided and brightened by the lengthening rays, and are sailing away away over the horizon, to be In It at the close of the dar. 'The flashing and foaming waves have left the sea, and all her Isles In cairn at last,' and In the silent heart of the ocean are murmuring their night Bong, a sole serenade, to the 'CJenll of the deep' dreaming in the coral caves. The golden beams glance tremblingly athwart each tree and tower, and anon on the breeze comes the soft cooing of the cash at, echoing farther and farther, and still more faintly, till at last the gentle notes float Into nothingness In the deep of the forest. The grey-winged eagle is fleeing over the golden hlll-topa to the mountain eyry, where the young birds wait, eager for the mother's coming; and low In the valleys, the wild flowers lift their pala, snowy faces upward, watch ing for the return kiss of the dew-drop that had fled with the morning brightness. "Sunsst in Brussels!'' The reader may well exclaim at the very beginning of the story, "More matter and less art," especially as four pages farther on there is another "Sunset in Brussels," and on the next page to that an equally elaborate "Sunset at the field of Waterloo." On page 16 we are told how "The protean face of day has shown Its last change; the slow-walking twilight has In her dusky robes passed through the city ; and, as the misty shadow of her veil Is lifted from the blue ether, the stars creep out In the high dome above, until the vaulted roof of heaven Is thick Inlaid with 'patines of bright gold,' and In their midst the full-orbed moon 'proclaims the silent reign of night' " all of which is so far satisfactory as it assured jna of the fact that the sun actually has set in Brussels. Chapter second describes the natal morn of the unfortunate Maximilian in this style: "The morning sun of July 6, 1832, that sent Its beams over the towers and steeples of Vienna, bathing In golden light the green sward about the beautiful palace of Schonorunn, tipping with Us brightness the gigantic elms, through whose branches the summer breezes played lightly to and fro, heralding the natal day of Ferdinand Maximi lian Joseph, Archduke of Austria, second son of Francis Charles (brother to the then reigning Em peror Ferdinand), and likewise grandson, but two degrees removed from the famous Maria Theresa, once Empress of Austria, whose renown tills so large a part of the history of the past century." Having fairly introduced her hero and heroine on the scene, the writer traces their history, with descriptive digressions like those quoted above occurring at every few pages of the narrative, from their marriage to the sad tragedy of Queretaro. She evi dently sympathized strongly with the attempt to establish an empire in Mexico, and her imagination fairly runs riot when she under takes to describe the scenes of royal state amid which Maximilian and his wife are sup., posed to have moved. In this respect she fairly out-Disraelis Disraeli, for the efflo rescence of "Lothair" cannot be put in com parison with the gushingness of "Crown Jewels," which, with the above hints with regard to its quality, we commend to the notice of those who admire the style of writing affected by its authoress. Porter & Coates also send us the lost pub lished volume of the uniform edition of Hans Christian Andersen's works now being issued by Ilurd & Houghton. This is the comple ment of the "Wonder Stories told to Chil dren," which has already been published, and it contains the balance of Mr. Andersen's short stories and sketches, such as "The Pic ture Book without Pictures," one of the most delightful series of short sketohesever written, "The Ioe Maiden," "The Little Matoh Girl," 'A Story from the Sand Hills," "Little Tuk," and a great number of others. Many of these Stories and sketches are very slight, but they are all characterized by the graoef ul fancy, the genial humor, and the poetioal spirit which give the least of Andersen's perform ances a positive value, and the volume before lis is a perfect treasury of wholesome sweots for both old and young, for those who can enjoy Hans Christian Andersen's writings at all never lose their taste for them at any age. From Claxton, llemsen & Haffeltinger we have received "Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Acta of the Apostles," by Eev. Albert Barnes. Published by Harper & Brothers. This work is so well known that it needs no special recommendation. It fills a place occupied by no other commentary, and far Sunday-schools and Bible classes, as W6il as for the edification of individual stu dents of the Gospel, it fully deserves its great popularity. From Claxton, llemsen & Haffelfinger we have also reoeived "The Conversion of St. Paul," by Rev. George Jarvis Geer, D. D. Published by Samuel It. "Wells. This volume consists of three discourses, tha objeot of which is to prove that the conversion of St. Paul was a conclusive evidence in itself of the truth of the Christian religion. The argu ment of Dr. Geer ia logical, and the work is one which may be read with profit by be lievers as well as doubters. Henry Carey Baird, No. 406 Walnut street, fiends us "A Complete Guide for Coach Painters," translated from the French of M. Allot by A. A. Fesquet. This work contains a great amount of valuable practical informa tion with regard to all the details of the art of coach-painting. An appendix gives informa tion respecting the materials and the practice of coach-painting and varnishing in the United States and Great Britain. Prioe $ 1 "J . Mr. Baird also sends us "An Inaugural Ad dress" delivered before the Sheffield Soientifio gchoolofYale College, October 5, 1870, by William P. Trowbridge, Professor of Dy suuio Engineering, which contains many valuable ideas and suggestions. This address will be sent free by mail on application. "The Lover's Library" is the title of a collection of tales of sentiment and passion published by J. S. Bedfield. The volume before us contains "The Devil's Pool," by George Sand; "The Story of Leonard and Margaret," from Southey's "Doctor;" "The Maid of Malines," by Bulwer; and "Patty's Revenge," by an anonymous writer. These stories are all excellent, and if the succeeding volumes of the series are up to the same standard, the "Lover's Library" will deserve t an extensive popularity. Received from J. B. Lippincott & Co. T. B. Peterson & Brothers send ns a cheap edition of "Charles O'Malley, by Charles Lever. This is one of the most en tertaining novels ever written, and its rich humor and lively, dashing style make it as much a favorite to-day as it was twenty years ago. From T. B. Peterson fe Brothers we have also received "Mad Monkton" and other short stories by Wilkie Collins, and "The Black Tulip," a product of the novel-manufactur ing establishment of Alexander Dumas. No. 13 of "A History of the State of Delaware," by Francis Vincent, which we have received from John Campbell, No. 740 . Sansom street, brings the work down to the events of 10G4. The Central News Company, No. 505 Chesnut street, send us the February num bers of Temple Bar and London Society, and also the latest numbers of Puncli and Fun. From W. S. Turner we have received the March number of Our Boys and Oirls, which contains a variety of interesting reading mat ter for young people. The Little Corporal for March contains several clever illustrations and a number "of entertaining stories and sketches. ; - The Phrenological Journal, which we have received from J. L. Capen, contains several biographies of distinguished men and a variety of articles on "bumpology" and kindred subjects. T. Lllwooa Zell sends us No. 5G of "Zell's Popular Encyclopedia," which brings the work down to the title "Tymochte." A NE W POEM J3 Y CIIA TTER TON. A correspondent of the London Athenmurk thinks that he has discovered a poem by Chatterton which has not hitherto been in cluded in his collected works. He writes as follows: In the Universal Magazine for November, 17C9, I find a poem which has every claim to be by Chatterton, though not included in any edition or nis works. J. He external and in ternal evidences all point that way. The external evidences are (1) the date of its ap pearance; (2) the mention of Bristol and the Severn; (Z) the signature "C,"used by him on other occasions, in preference to T. C, which were also the initials of Thomas Gary; and (4) the address to Miss L , who may have been the same as the person of whom he afterwards wrote "If Miss Love has no objection to having a crambo song on her name published, it snail be done. it is even possible that the poem here printed, be ginning, be it observed, with the word Love, is the very "crambo song" referred to; for it was a common practice with Chatterton to alter a poem very slightly, and to produce it a second time. The internal evidences are supplied by comparison with other poems. For example, he writes to Miss Hoyland, in the same metre, as follows: O ! haste to give my passion ease And bid the perturbation etase That barrows up my soul I The joy such happiness to find Would make the functions of my mind In peace and love to rlL Again, tbe "noxious vapors" and the snakes occur also in his "Burlesque Jiaegy on Lady Betty's Cat:" Ye noxious vapors, fall upon my head, Ye writhing adders, round my feet eniwlne; . Ye toads, your venom In my foot-pat!, spread ; whilst the spellings of Scverne and ecclio occur in the Rowley Poems. I subjoin tbe poem itself, aa originally printed. Walter W. Skeat. THS COMPLAINT. Addressed to Miss P L ; of Bristol. Love, lawless tyrant of my breast, When will my passions be at rest, And In soft murmurs roll When will tbe dove-ey'd goddess, Peace, Bid black despair and torment cease, And wake to joy my soul? Adieu 1 ye flow'r-bespangled hills ; Adieu! ye softly-purling rills, That through the meadows play; Adieu 1 the cool refreshing shade, By hoary oaks and woodbines made. Where on with joy 1 lay. No more beneath your boughs I bear. With pleasure unallay'd by fear, The distant Severne roar Adieu 1 the forest's mossy side Deck'd out In Flora's richest pride: Ye van delight no more. Oft at the solitary hour When Melancholy's silent pow'r Is gliding through the shade; With raging Madness by her side, Whose hands, in blood and murder dy'd, Display the reeking blade, I catch the eccho of their feet, And follow to tbelr drear retreat Of deadliest nightshade wove : There, stretch 'd upon the dewy ground, Whilst noxious vapors rise around, I sigh my tale of love. Oft has the solemn bird of night, When rising to his gloomy flight. Unseen agitnst me fled 1 Whilst suakea in curling orbs nproll'd, Bedrop'd with azure, flame, and gold, liurl'd poison at my head. O say 1 thou best of womankind, Thou miracle, in whom we And Wit, charms, and sense unite, Can plagues like these be always borne f jno; if i sun must meet your scorn, I'll seek the realms of night.
