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.
