0 Tffli DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, APRIL . 4, 1871. LITERATURE. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. "ThoJMilier of Angibault," translated by Miss Mary E. Dewey, it the fifth volume of the edition of George Sand's novels in coarse of publication by Roberts Brothers. It is most amusingly Frencfcy in its whole tone, and it giyes an excellent idea of the totally impractical theories of the class of reformers to which the writer belongs. The object of the story is to show the superiority of poverty over riohes, when true love is substi tuted for hard cash, and the reader is enter tained with tbe persistent efforts of a hand some young aristrocratio widow to get rid of her fortune in order that she may be able to many a workinguian who has engaged her affections. She happily succeeds in her en deavors, and her lover does his part towards bringing about Jthe desired result by making no efforts whatever to earn his living or to raise himself to a sooial equality with his lady love. The story has some capital character Bketches, and it gives a most interesting description of French country life about thirty years ago. For sale by Claxton, Ecrufen & Ilaffelflnger. "The Silent Partner," by Elizabeth Stuart Fhelps, published bv James R. Osgood & Co., is a vigorous attack upon the evils of the New England factory system, which can scarcely fail to attract attention to them in such a manner that efforts will be made to effect a reform. Miss Fhelps in this work, as in her "Gates Ajar" and "Hedged In," goes Straight to the heart of her subject, and "The Silent Partner" is a bold and striking picture of great wrongs which cannot be denied or argued away. The outline of th work is fictitious, but substantially it is solid fact, and it pens up to public attention a subject that certainly needs to be looked into. For sale by Claxton, Remsen & Ilaif elfinger. "Gutenberg and the Art of Printing," by Emily C. Pearson, published by Noyes, Ilolmes & Co., is an account of the invention of the art of printing and the struggles of the inventor, with a sketch of the progress of the art and the perfection to which it has been brought in our day. .The story of Gutenberg's life is related in a semi-fictitious style, all the substantial facts being drawn from authentio sources, while the filling-in is the writer's own. This method of treatment has many advantages, and it is not only more attractive to a great number of readers , but it affords the author an opportunity to give perhaps a more graphic description of Gutenberg and his surroundings than she would be able to do by a recital of the known facts of his history. The work is gotten up in elegant style, and it contains a number of handsome specimens of early printing and other appropriate illus trations. For sale by J. B. L'ppincott it Co. A new and elegant edition of the Poems of Lncretia Maria Davidson, illustrated by F. O. C. Darley, and edited by M. Oliver David son, has just been issued by Ilurd & Hough ton. The author of these poems, whose sweet, refined, and thoughtful face is one of the greatest attractions of the beautiful volume before us, died before she had completed her seventeenth year, and her writings are to be judged rather by what they promise than by what they are. The poems are frequently scarcely more than echoes of Tom Moore, L. E. L., and Byron, and young-ladyisms with out number appear on every p9ge. In spite of their unavoidable deficiencies, they are very remarkable performances for a girl of sixteen, and they give abundant evidenoea of poetical genius of a high order, and are well worthy of preservation for their own sake. The elegant volume before ns contains an appropriate introduction by Barry Gray, and Miss Eedg wick's life of the young poet as an appendix. Steel-plate portraits of Miss David son and her brother, Lieutenant L. P. David son, U. S. A., and several spirited designs by Mr. Darley, are also given, and the book is, altogether, gotten np in very handsome style, and we are obtain, that it will receive B cordial welcome from the publio, and will aid in perpetuating the fame of an American poet of real although undeveloped genias. For sale by J. B. Lippincott t Co. "Reginald Archer" is the title of a new novel by Mrs. Anne M. Crane Seemuller, author of "Emily Chester" and "Opporta nity,"which has just been published by James R. Osgood & Co. "Emily Chester" was a work of great promise, and both in "Oppor tunity" and in the story before ns Mrs. See muller has fulfilled the expectations excited by her first performance. ' Reginald Archer" is sensational in the sense that it has some strongly marked characters and some highly wrought situations, but it is something more than an effort to stir tbe blood of the reader, and it has a disti net moral aim, which will commend it to the regards of those who esteem the moral of a story to be of as muoh importance as the story itself. For sale by Claxton, Remsen & Ilaffelflnger. "Bred in the Bone," by the author of 4 'A Beggar on Horseback," is a well-written novel of English life from the pen of a popu lar writer. Published by narper &, Brothers. Tbe same publishers also issue the report of Messrs. David A. Wells, Edwin Dodge, and George W. Cuyler, the commissioners appointed by the Governor of New York, under the authority of the Legislature, to re vise the laws for the assessment and collec tion of State and local taxes. The subject treated of in this report is one of very great importance, and the conclusions and argu ments of the New York commissioners should reoeive the attention of all who wish to be informed upon it. Both of the above publi cations are for sale in this city by Claxton, Remsen & Ilaffelflnger. Le fvre Ilourt, edited and published by J. Trainor King, No. SOI Cheanut street, con tains portraits t nd sketches of Messrs. Win. B. Mann and Wilaisr Worthington, with other interesting matter. The renn Monthly for April contains a variety of well-written articles on subjects of interest. Published by Porter & Coates. T. B. Teterson A Brothers have just issued a cheap edition of "The Three Guardsmen," one of the most entertaining and most popular of the numerous works of Alexandre Dumas. From the Central News Company, No. f05 Chesnut street, we have received the March number of the St. Jameii1 Magazine. l'oreign Items The following acoonnt of the gradual rieo of the new Imperial House of Germany is abbreviated from the Berlin Stuats-Amei-ger as regards its facts, which may be con sidered, therefore, as officially authenticated. The first of the Hohenzollern family honors are traced originally to the attachment of a certain Count Frederick von Zollern to the Emperor Frederick I. He was rewarded with tbe hand of the daughter and heiress of the Burggrave (Count of the City) of Nurem burg iullSO, and in 1192 was publicly in stalled into the Burggravate, an important imperial dignity, which continued in his family for six succeeding generations. The Burggraves did constant good service to tbe Emperors, and were usually in their confidence; and the Emperor Sigismund took into his especial trust a Burcrgrave Frederick of his time, making him his chief associate in his magnifi cent plans for restoring the full power of the Roman Empire and the dignity of its head. Part of this design was to be carried out by the elevation of his friend to the kingship of Rome. This was never carried out, but by way of preparing the way for such a dignity the Emperor made the Burggrave the Mar qulsate of Brandenburg, with the rank of Elector, in 1415, and Frederiok I, the first Elector, was solemnly invested with the digni ties of his office in May, 1417. The House of Zollern, or Hohenzollern as it now came to be called, was thus transplanted from South to North Germany solely by Imperial favor, and became the chief guardian of the empire against Sclavonic aggression. This charge waa abundantly justified, as all readers of modern history know. True, the part played by the Hohen zollerns in the Thirty Years' War was not very brilliant or honorable. But by paoifio means or warlike exertions they maintained their border land constantly intact, and fre quently enlarged the marquisate, until. 2(il years after the exaltation of his family to the Electorate, Frederick III plased the royal crown on his own head in the palace at Ko nigsberg, and declared himself King of Prus sia on the 18th of January, 1701. We nead not repeat here how the kingdom has grown into the empire, for to do so thoroughly would be to write the whole his tory of Europe for the last 170 years. Of course all this growth has been under the law of self-defense. The Prussians are a very moderate race, given chiefly to culture, and may be trusted never to go to war unless wantonly provoked. And we live, as every one can see plainly, in a very paoifio age. Still, this steady, unstayed absorbing growth suggests some unpleasant reflections for the neighbors of the new Empire, when they remember that it may by-and-by prove to be the legal heir, with all the legal claims, of the old Empire of Germany, to whose chiefs the ancestors of the llohenzollerns owed their first steps of greatness. Really, fact is stranger than fiction. It is a reasonable opinion held by many that the Second Empire in France owed its existence to the legend of the First Napoleon, as it was told in the skilful pages of M. Thiers. The First Napoleon exhausted Franoe, and brought kis conqnerors to take possession of Paris. But that is not all. During the most brilliant period of the First Emperor, France was in ternally in great distress without commerce and exhausted by the destruction of men and the want of money. Had the tale been told not by such a one-sided rhetorician as Thiers, and decorated by such a poet as Beranger, but truthfully by such an historian aa M. Lanfrey, Louis Napoleon would never have dreamed bis dream, his empire would never have oome into existence, lie did, however, dream his dream, bis empire came into existence, and endured for nearly twenty years, and daring its continuance Franoe enjoyed an amount of material prosperity and a growth of com merce, manufactures, and wealth to which her past history had furnished no parallel. Not many months have passed sinoe the Em peror made an appeal to the Frenoh people in effect requiring an answer to the question whether they were so far satisfied with his government as to desire that he should not be controlled without an appeal to them. Between Beven and eight million Frenchmen by their votes in effect approved his rale, we negative rotes being comparatively few. badowa was fought, Prussia grew great, and Germany was consolidating into a mighty power. M. Thiers said France ought not to nave permuted another people to grow great. France was great, ana ongnc to oe great, ana mat the greatness of a neighbor was a detraction from her greatness, and therefore ought not to have been permitted, and ought not to be endured. This view, maintained and propa gated by M. Thiers, was indirectly a cause perhaps the cause of the war which has created the German Empire, and has proved so disastrous to France. With the exception, possibly, of the destruction brought upon the Confederate States of America by the seces sion war, modern history records no oasa of such a collapse of power, of such calamities as this war has brought upon Franoe. The blame, the whole blame, of this collapse, of these calamities, is laid npon the late Empe ror. No man in France dire whisper a word in his favor. And the man to whom all France with equal unanimity resorts to govern the country, to obtain peace, and to restore the prosperity of Franoe, is M. Thiers. It is not proposed to. censuro or even to com ment on these facts; but surely they are strange, very strange! The question whether Prussia ii to be absorbed into Germany or Germany is to ba merely an aggrandized Prussia is no the subject of warm discussion in the Prmsi&a press. The Neue Preu&dtche Zeitunj, whioh represents the conservative party, or tbiik-and-thin supporters of the Government, adopts the latter view. "The imperial crown," it says, "has been conquered by tho sword of Prussia. We do not undervalue the participation of our allies; but it is a mitter of history that thU participation is a otne quence of the Prussian victories of 18oi a truth which need not be concealed from our then adversaries, and which thsy tbemselvep, much to their credit, ac knowledged. Now, if a State is to be maintained by the scue power which bps created it, we couoluJe that it is Prussia's power which supports and mlutatus the German empire. It is therefore all-iuiportaut that Prussia shouM not be absorbed into Germany and that its powers sh'juli be fully kept up. TLia is not narrow 1'russiauUua: it is German, because Prussian, patriotism." And, in answer to those writer who aivoojte the adupl'on and extei.Mou of Liberal princi plea in order to complete the work of Gormaa unity, the same paper adds: "It is just the principles of 178!) against whioh we are now fighting so bard on the battle field, and whioh we must continue to resist in the most deter mined manner in all directions in Church and State, in our homes, and in society." With the abolition of the purchase system in the army, says aa English paper, we may look for the abolition before long of the purchase system in the Churoh. Tne trafllo in the "next presentation" to livings may be legitimate, but it offends weaker brethren; and considering how many of our brethren are beooming weaker every day, the sooner the praotioe of advertising the infirmities of aged inoumbenta who tarry too long in their comfortable berths or, to speak more cor rectly, their "spheres of usefulness" is pat an end to the better. Now that nnder the new scheme of army reform no man will be allowed to superintend the killing of his fellow-creatures officially merely because he has money in his purse, we can hardly con tinue to allow Dives to purchase the privilege of superintending the spiritual welfare of Lazarus. In fact, the slaughter of bodies and the salvation of souls must be placed on the same footing. A parish full of sinners is no doubt a great luxury, but is far too sacred a subject for the auctioneer's hammer, and a new lock must be devised for the pulpit which cannot be picked by a golden key. Whatever may be the ultimate fate of Turkey, there can be no doubt that she is struggling hard not only to preserve her ex istence but also to become a great nation. We learn from the Ivrguie that a committee had been formed for the translation into Turkish of the literary and scientific works of the most eminent writers of all nations. If this new scheme is carried out in real earnest the youth of Turkey, it is hoped, will be ini tiated into those intellectual masterpieces which are the charm of the whole world. SPECIAL.
