LITERATURE.
REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
The writings of a man who has both the
artistic and the critical faoulties highly do
Yelope 1 oennot fail to be of the highest inte
rcut, not only to artists, but to all who have
any love for art. A cordial welcome will,
therefore, nndonbtedly be extended to the
new and revised edition of "Thoughts aont
Art," Ij Thilip Gilbert Ilamerton, which has
jnst been issued by Roberta Brothers. This
work was originally published in connection
with the author'B 'Tainter'a Camp in the
Highland?," one of the most delightful books
of its kind ever written, but as th "Thoughts
about Art" have a distinct and positive value
of their own, a genuine service has been done
the art publio by their careful revision and
separate publication. Mr. Ilamerton has
very decided pinions, the value of
which depends npon the im
portant fact that they are based npon
close and scientific study, but his catholic
sympathies prevent him from being dog
matic, and his suggestions about practical
art-work are such as cannot fail to com
mand the respectful attention of artists, even
if they refuse to avail themselves of them,
lie advocates a system of study which is at
once analytic and synthetic, and which, if
conscientiously followed, must give the eye and
the hand of the artist the highest possible
training. The chapters on 'Tainting from
Nature," "Painting from Memoranda," "The
Relation between Photography and Paint
ing," "Analysis and Synthesis in Painting,"
and the "Reaction from Fre-Raphaelitism"
we especially commend to the attention of
art-workers, for the close and accurate sys
tem of study advocated by Mr. Ilamerton is
very far removed from the general
practices of our American painters, who
especially need to have its importance
impressed npon them. Several of the
other chapters deal with the philosophical
aspects of art, and in these Mr. Ilamerton
proves that his habits of close observation
have not in anyway interfered with his ability
to accurately survey the whole field of art,
and they are as interesting in style as they
are instructive in substance. The chapters
on "Picture Buying" and "The Housing of
National Art Treasures" will prove particu
larly edifying to would-be connoisseurs and
art patrons, and the latter especially we com
mend to the thoughtful consideration of
those who are interested in the establishment
of an art institution in this city.
It is full of the most valuable prastical
suggestions, which we refrain from quoting,
however, as an art critic has expressed an in
tention to make use of them as texts for
various discourses on the proposed art mu
seum in the Park and the proposed new Aca
demy of Fine Arts. While this work is of espe
cial interest to professional artists, it should
nevertheless receive the attention of non-pro
fessional readers who wish to be informed
upon arts subjects, the avoidance as far as
possible of technicalities rendering it parti
cularly suitable for a popular art hand-book.
For sale by Claxton, Remsen & Haffelnnger.
"A Visit to My Discontented Cousin,"
.which has been issued by Roberts Bro
thers as the eighth number of their
"Handy Volume" series, is a series of
dissertations and light gossip about nearly
every subject 7 ader the sun, with a number
of brief but well-told stories interspersed, and
the whole bound together by the thread of a
story which gives it a certain completeness.
It is a genial and pleasant book, not very
profound, but likely to afford good entertain
ment for an hour or two to a cultivated reader
whose literary appetite does not demand
strong food. For sale by Claxton, Remsen &
Haffelnnger.
"Daisy Chain," two volumes, published
by D. Appleton & Co., is the third of the uni
form series of the novels of Miss Yonge, now
being issued. It is an attractive domeatio
story that has enjoyed much popularity for
several years, and that will repay more than
one perusal. For sale by Porter & Coates.
"Musings over 'the Christian Year' and
'Lyra Innocentium,' " by Charlotte Mary
Tonge, published by D. Appleton & Co., are
a series of meditative essays inspired by the
poems which the High Church proclivities of
Eeble have not prevented from being apppreci-
a ted by persons of all shades of religions belief.
These Musings will be enjoyed by the ad
mirers of Keble, and many of them are espe
cially interesting on account of giving the
ciroumstances under which particular poems
were composed, as well as reflections npon
the poems themselves. The Musings are
prefaced by "Gleanings from Thirty Years'
Intercourse with the late Rev.' John Keble,"
"Recollections of Hunloy Parsonage," by
Frances M. Wilbraham, and other reminis
cences of the author of "The Christian Year."
For sale by Porter & Coates.
"Poems," by Llewellyn G. Thomas, pub
lished by G. V. Carleton & Co., prove the
writer to be a reader of poetry rather than a
poet. None of the verses in the volume have
any particular value, but some of them are
barefaced imitations that are barely not pla
giarism because of their worthlessness. For
getful that there are readers of poetry who
cannot forget Shelley's "Invocation to Night,"
Mr. Thomas perpetrates an "Invocation to
Night" which is an echo, but a very far-off
one, of Shelley, as will be seen by the opening
stanza:
'Come unto the lone earth, Night !
Haute over the Eastern wavtt!
Hitherward wiug thy wished tligbt,
For fairer far than the gaudy lig&t
Of the garish Day art thou, in my sight.
Spread thy pall o'er the grave
Of the dead Sun, and with thy bright
Btar-in wrought mantle, clothe eariu, Night!"
Poe wrote a fantastio jingle entitled
"Annabel Lee," and Mr. Tuoiuas could nut
avoid perpetrating the following:
"Annabel! Annabel!
Him whom I loved to well!
) ! can I bear to tell
How you from Heaven fell
Lurei uown by iiie !
AuunU-ll Annabel!
Annabel Le"
and some half dozen stanzas more, which it
was no particular harm for Mr. Thomas to
write, but which it was particularly impudent
for him to publish. For sale by Porter &
Coates.
A new cheap edition of "Valentine Vox,
the Ventriloquist," by Henry Cockton, ha?
just been published by T. B. Peterson &,
Brothers. This is a very extravagant but
very funny story that has been laughed over
by thousands of readers.
Oood Word for the Young, for April,
published by J. B. Llppincott it Co., contains
a variety of entertaining 6tones, sketches,
and poems for young readers, and is finely
illustrated by eminent artists.
The April number of The Journal of the
Franklin Inxtitvte is filled with valuable
practical and scientific pnpers.
From the Central News Company, No.

Messrs. JameB R. Osgood & Co. announce
that they have completed an arrangement
which has been for some time in contempla
tion, for the prosecution of a subscription
book trnde as a new department of their busi
ness. A valuable religious work is in prepa
ration for this trade, but while it is being
completed a commencement will be made
with two popular books, Parton's "Life and
Times of Benjamin Franklin" and Carleton's
"New Way Round the World." Ladies and
gentlemen are invited to act as goneral or
local agents. They will receive liberal com
pensation in commissions or salaries and part
commissions after trial. The management of
the subscription branch of the business will
be in the hands of H. A. Brown & Co., No.

TEE SCOTT CENTENNIAL.
Sir Walter Scott wa born at Edinburgh,
August lo; 1 71, and the centennial anniver
sary of his birth, therefore, is near at hand.
It is proposed to celebrate it throughout the
civilized world, as the centennial birth-days
of Burns and of Schiller were celebrated,
more or less extensively, twelve years ago.
The occasion is certainly one fit to be com.
memorated. Scott was not only one of the
greatest, but one of the purest of authors.
There is n5 stain or blot upon his name or
fame. His poems and his novels are sources
of unmixed delight to millions, and contain
nothing to soil or to barm the most innocent
or most sensitive mind. As a poet, though
he is just now underrated, or rather neg
lected, we are comment tuat tlie nnal verdict
of critioism will place him among the great
masters of song with Homer, Dante, Shake
speare, and Milton. The fashion of the day
runs after the subtler and seemingly more
poetical poets after those who affect to bo
profound and philosophical and leaves the
manly, vigorous, and picturesque verse of
Scott, with its fiery narrative, its dramatic
force, its graphic descriptions, and its
multitudinous touches of natural beauty,
to the hearty enjoyment of school
boys. But the time assuredly wfll come when
the great merits of the mighty minstrel
will be recognized and enjoyed by tho3e who
can fully appreciate them, and who have the
sense to see that poetry can be of the highest
order, even though it be not dull nor diffi
cult to understand, and even though it pre
sent ltenjr to us in tne lor m or a cuarming
story related with a rapid fluency ami a care-
less grace which seem so easy and so natural
that we are almost inclined to despise what
apparently cost so little labor, though the
really critical eye can see everywhere abun
dant evidences of the exertion of the highest
genius and most consnmmato literary skill.
The neglect into which the poems of Scott have
fallen has been shared, to some extent, by his
novels, which, it is said, are pronounced rather
"slow" by the young ladies who have guanoed
their minds with the rottenness of ''Ouida"
and the other "fast" novelists of the
day. They are deficient, doubtless, in some of
the elements of interest of the sensational
school, which ransacks earth and heaven for
its materials, and they are also lacking in that
minute and morbid analysis of character
which distinguishes the psychological novels
now so popular; but in the greater and
broader qualities of romance, in tne portrait
ure of types of character, in depicting gen
tlemen and ladiea, soldiers and statesmen,
villains, vagabonds, and humorists, in scenes
of dramatic power and historic interest, Soott
is yet without a rival, notwithstanding the
vast amount of talent expended among all
civilized nations, during the last half-century,
1 n the vain en ort to imitate his no vels.
