Every lover of books has some author whom he follows “ through thick .and thin”; .whose every whim is precious; whose faults are charming, and whoso defects are points to de light in.-JNo matter how dull, or bizarre,to the world of- common readers, some poem, essay, novel or treatise of this favorite author may be s the victim of his allurements and fascinations eagerly seizes upon anything which bears the beloved imprint, and fairly gloats over its im perfections or absurdities, as the case may be. • The American lovers of Robert Browning now have an opportunity to take to their hearts a * volume of the character which. lovers worship, and which others regard with cold neglect. "We mean the one just published by Ticknor & Fields, Boston, and sent to us through Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers. It contains “Sor dello,” « Strafford,” and “ Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day,” three of Browning’s most char acteristic productions. “ Sordello ’’ was first published in Europe in 1840; its subject is drawn from the life of a Provengal poet men tioned in Dante’s “Pnrgatorio,?? and it con tains every possible fault of its author, .in the way of obscurity, mystical inversions and tan ■getical “flaws and starts.” Under date of June 3, 1803, Browning newly dedicates “ Sordello” to Mr, J. Niisandj-of Dijon, in the following bv Tonrr.amp lE -!'irf : = L ot did my Dest.then and since; lor I •latel’/S?*l and pains to turn my work into what 7 might—instead ot what the tew alter-0.11,1 imagined-another tbing at first.' therefore leave as I find it. The, historical deco ration was purposely of no more : importance th.au a background requires; and my stress lay on the incidents in the development of a soul: little else is worth, study. I, at least, always thought so, yon, with many known and nuknown to.me, think so,—others may one day think so : and whether my attempt remain for them or not, I trust, though away and past it, to continue over yours, JR. B. ” “Strafford” is a tragedy, based on the career of the earl of that name who was; beheaded at Tower Hill during the'reign of Charles I. It was played in London .in 1837, Mr. Macready •enacting the hero, hut its success 1 with the public .was only moderate. “Christmas Eve and-Easter Day ” was first published in England in 1850. It represents the spiritual aspects of ihe age; - the ,customary, Browning-, esqne haze, and with a tinge of Browning’s personal opinions on religious faith. ‘ A very handsome steel portrait of the author faces the title-page of the volume,' which is executed in a style uniform with Messrs. . Ticknor & Fields’s editions of the other woiks of the Brownings. Aperies of essays called ‘"‘Caxtoniana”’ has been published in Blackwood’s Magazine, at tracting much a’tention. Of course, every- one klifc 'v, from tbeir title and their style, that they [ were from (he pen of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. These essays have now been collected bj th.eir author in a volume, which has boen published by Messrs. Harper & Brothers. A copy has been sent, to. rs by Messrs. T.B. Peterson & Brothers. Nothing that Bulwer bas Written shows pjore mature and original thought than -this collodion of es.says. In a not e at the end ho says that the -subjects of mostof' them suggested themselves while he' was writing the Caxton novels. | Most of them havejreference to customs peculiarly English. But they can be read with advantage and plea sure outside of England. One of the longest of them, called “Motive Power,” is a fiction, in which romance and philosophy are happily united. The subjects are varied; but they and the manner of their treatment are calculated to please best people of literary taste and cul ture. To all such we commend the volume. Among the most valuable and attractive of Mr. F Leypoldt’s excellent publications, we rank the “Letters to a Lady,” by "Wilhelm Yon Humboldt, just, issued,with a brief biographical' introduction by Charles Godfrey Loiand. Wil helm Yon Humboldt was an older brother of the great naturalist, and was "himself eminent as a diplomatist, statesman, and philosopher. When he was a youth of twenty he casually met a young lady, for a few days, and did not again hear of her till twenty-six years later. She had had a life of.sorrow and suffering, and wrote to herformeracqnaiatance. Hereplied, and the correspondence was kept hp for many years. His letters are models of pure thought, good counsel and wise philosophy! They have been admirably translated into English, and in the present attractive style of publication, they deserve to be extensively read. 1 I In a few days Mrs. Ann S. Stephens's new romance, called “The Wife’s'Secret,” will be published by T. B. Peterson-&. Brothers. We I have looked over the advance sheets, and can promise the-admirers pf'Mfs. Stephens a char acteristic treat.; The story is one of domestic life, the scene being laid mainly in the vicinity of New York. The various persons who bear their part in the narrative are strongly pre sented, particularly the different members of" the Bentley and Hart families. " The character of Michael Hurst is .also described with almost painful force. We -will n’ot weaken the-interest of any reader by- sketching: the plof. hnt -wiii simply state that no lover of the. exciting in ro mance can fail to he eager to unravel its intri cacies after reading the first few pages. One of the cleverest humorous books that the war has given rise to is the volume' lately published by Carleton, called “The Life and Adventures, Songs, Services and, Speeches of. Private Miles O’Reilly.” Published in the columns.of a daily, journal of .New. York, some of the letters and songs of the volume afforded much amusement. ‘ In their collected form, with some good funny 1 illnstrations, they will be still more mirth-provoking. ,The songs are. particularly good. Some of them are rather irreverext towards .certain high functionaries; hut their wit and good humor, and their per fectly Harmless character, make them excusable. The book is for sale by T. B. Peterson & Brothers. - A curious old book of religious reveries and meditations has been revived and published by Ticknor & Fields. It is called “Sixteen Revela tions of Divine Love, made to a devout ser vant of Our Lord, called Mother Juliana, an Anchorite of Norwich: "Who lived in the days of King Edward the Third.” , Its quaintly de vout spirit will interest many readers, and it has an.historical value .as a relic of the -four teenth century. , The old-fashioned words and phrases _ .of ' ihe original me preserved in this edition, and a glossary at the end acquaints the modern reader with their signification; Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co. have issued Parts 71 and 72 of “Chambers's Encyclopaedia,” which is now carried pretty well on into the letter M. They,have also published Parte 19, 20; 21 and 22 of*“The Book of Days.’’ This delightful and instructive publication is also approaching completion. No work that we know of contains.so much curious and interest ing reading. • THE FLORIDA DISASTER. The following extract is lrom a letter from ah officer of the atth Massachusetts volunteers : Jacksonville, Feb. S 3, 1601. * 9 * * We have had a light, alieking, and afoot-race. We maichedllO miles in 108 hours, and in that time had atbree-hours’ fight. Our regiment lost one man in everyfive,—going in five hundred strong, and losing one hundred in killed, wounded and missing. When we returned to Jacksonville we were all crippled from severe marching. Befoie going into battle the-5-lth was double qulcked for a mile, and as they went in, General Seymour said to Col. Hallow.ell, “The day is lost; youmustgo in and savethc corps.” Hedid Coin and did sa : :eit, che:l:ed the enemy, hits the field, and vjas the very last to leave—and covered the retreat. The enemy were in strong force—strong enough to have demolished the whole lot of us. **’ * AMDBEMEHTB. „„ Tub Pak obxma of thb Bible.—This beautiful 01 the Sacred Scriptures, the produc tinn tv ll ,' J ‘ lnsco 'Williams, is still on exhibi n§ariv ,„ e ‘ ec P lre room of Concert Hall.

The strength of the entire command we do not deem it judicious to publish at the present time. O n Saturday night the command proper en camped at Old Yerdiersvill e, on the Fredericks-, burg and Orange Court Bouse plank road, eight miles south of the Rapidaa. On Sunday morning :the force demonstrated In front of the enemy’s works upon Mine run, deployed as infantry, in order to cause the enemy to mass in that loealitV-to resist attack.. In this capacity they acted all day, and at night rested in a retired and.safe position betweeniv erdtersville and Robinson’s Tavern. At three o’clock*%n Monday morning General Kilpatrick took np his line ot march southward; towards the junction of the Virginia Central and the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroads, arriving at Spottsyl vania Court House fit about dark. ‘ ■ From this point" Colonel Dahlgren, with a selected detachment from the cavalry, was de spatched to .Fiederickshall, midway between the junction of the above named roads and Gordons ville, where had been parked the whole.of the rebel reserve artillery.

On Tuesday the rain fell la torrents all day, and the streams in that rough, mountainous country were ritnigrapidly. At dart, snow fell in large flakes sufficient to whiten the whole country, making the roads almost Impassable for horses at any pace beyond aval. We rode twenty miles into Culpeper, where we arrived at midnight, wet, tired, hungry and sleepy. This is considered one ot the boldest and most successful cavalry raids or the war. General Custer's ccmmnnd was made up of detachments of troops who were nearly all strut.gerr to him, and yet he declared that men never behaved more gallant.y in the world.
