NEW PUBLICATIONS Jrvsxir.s LITERATITRIC. — The Boston house of Lee & Shepard have acquired an enviable reputation for their taste in selecting, and are in purifying, the literature of the young. •'The General; or, Twelve Nights in the Hun ter's Camp," is a truly excellent book for boys, in which the best and healthiest lessons of outdoor-life are pointed, throughout a nar rative which has the merit of being scrupu lously true. The volume was planned by the writer, Mr. William Barrows, on the shores of Swan Lake, near the confluence of the lowa with the Mississippi. His hero, alluded to as The General, is a real personage (Willard Barrows, d. 1868), graphically por trayed; and the only dramatic liberty taxen with the facts is the introduction of a suppositious story, told in character by the pioneer, on each of the twelve evenings of the camp's existence.— The same firm, led on by the success of Mrs. Madeline Leslie's Home Life ,Series, have published a fourth tale by this lady, which will probably have the success accorded to her previous efforts; it is called "Juliette, or Now and Forever."—"Charlie Bell" is one of the Elm Island Stories by Rev. Elijah Kel logg, a name that has become a favorite with the readers of Our Young Folks. It is an exciting and bracing narrative, delineating the career of an English orphan, whose fate throws him upon Elm Island into the rough mire of the gigantic sailor Ben, under whose practical tuition, like Achilles under Chiron, he learns to be brave, noble and hardy. The above works are for sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. McGilchrist's popular biographies of Eng lish celebrities are everyway desirable and felicitous. We have previously noticed those of John Bright and W. E. Gladstone, and now acknowledge another brace, the as tute Disraeli and the respectable but expensive Victoria. These cheap, but not mean pamphlets are just the books for every one to lay up as handy works of reference. Claxton, Remsen Haffelfinger sell them, the publishers be ing Felt & Dilliueham, IN. Y. AnkitsA(ll. The American success of Auerbach's novels is a decided fact, and is demonstrated, amongst other things, by a little skirmishing amongst the publiahers,with which the public at large have nothing to do but to accept the benefit pecuniary. Lying before us are three of the last editions, by different publishers, to wit : [Author's Edition. j 'The Villa on the Rhine," published by Leypoldt & bolt in a form similar to one of Tauchnitz's pamphlets. This is accompanied by a pleasing memoir of Auerbach by Bayard Taylor, and is prefaced by a portrait of the novelist; the latter reveals guileless German bullet-head, with frank, staring eyes, and iron-gray hairs describing radii centrifugally from the forehead. Part I . Bold by Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger. "Villa Eden: the Country-House on the Rhine." Thiti'is the same novel as the above, rendered by another translator (Mr. Charles C.Bhackford), well executed, but we think in a somewhat lessiforcible style. Of this trans - lation likewise we only receive Part 1, but a whole Book of fourteen chapters,embraced in the issue of Leypoldt & Holt, is here omitted. There is no portrait nor biography. It is neatly printed in octavo,pamphlet,by Roberts Brothers, and sold by Duffield Ashmead and Turner Bros. "Edelweiss." This is presented by Roberts Brothers as one of their "handy-volumes." The translation le by Ellen Frothingham, and ia an admirably graceful one. Bayard Tay lor, -an excellent judge of German pastoral literature, calls this work an accepted classic. The volume is sold by Turner Bros. •• Auerbach has been a prolific author since 7836. 818 writings form a special vein, which our American miners have not mush more than begun to work. air. Charles Goepp, however; of Philadelphia, five or six years ago prepared excellent translations;of Auerbach% first hit, the Dorfgeschichten or age §torles. The public, however. was not ready for theip, and they fell dead; it is now time for the publisher to bring them forward prominently once more. From Idle Martinean'a Biographical Bketches.) THOMAS Di QIIINCEY. We have already extracted for our readers the concluding part of Miss Martineau's sketch of the Opium Eater; this is not complete, however, without its complementary portion, in which the life of De Quincey is conducted up to that quiet consummation at Lasswade. Here, then, are the first part and body of the article, in which Miss Martineau shows her self characteristically keen, appreciative and severe: Thomas De Quincey was the son of a mer chant engaged in foreign commerce, and was born at Manchester in 1786. He was one of eight children, of whom no more than six were ever living at once, and several of whom died in infancy. The survivors were reared in a country home, the incidents of which, when of a kind to excite emotion, impressed themselves on this singular child's memory from a very early age. We have known only two instances, in a rather wide experience of life, of persons distinctly remembering so far bask as a year and a half old. This was DJ Quincy's age when three deaths happened in the family, which he remembered, not by tradition, but by his own contempory emo tions. A sister of three and a half died; and he was perplexed by her disappearance, and terrified by the household whisper that she had been ill-used, just before her death, by a servant. A grandmother died about the same time, leaving little impression, because she bad been little seen. The other death was of a beloved kingfisher, by a doleful accident. When the boy was Jive he lost his playfellow, and, as he says, intellectual guide —his sister Elizabeth, eight years old, dying of by drocephalus, after manifesting an intel - lectual power which the forlorn brother re called with admiration and wonder for life. The impression was undoubtedly genuine; but it is impossible to read the "Autobi ographical Sketch" in which the death and funeral of the child are described without perceiving that the writer referred back to the period he was describing with emotions and reflex sensations which arose in him, and fell from the pen, at the moment. His father, meantime,was residing abroad, year after year, as a condition of his living at all, and he died of pulmonary consumption before Thomas was seven years old. The elder brother, then twelve, was obviously too eccentric for home management, if not for all control; and, looking no further than these constitutional cases, we are warranted in concluding that the Opium Eater entered life under peculiar and unfavorable conditions. He passed through a succession of schools, and was distinguished by his eminent know ledge of Greek. At fifteen he was pointed out by his master (himself-a ripe scholar) to a stranger in the remarkable words, "That boy could harangue an Athenian mob better than you or I could address an English one." And it was not only the Greek, we imagine, but the eloquence too that was included in this praise. In this, as in the subtlety of the analytical power (so strangely mistaken for entire intellectual supremacy in our day), De Quincey must have strongly resembled Cole ridge. Both were fine Grecians, charming discoursers, eminent opium -takers, magnifi cent dreamers and seers, large in their pro mises, and helpless in their failure of per - formance. De Quincey set his heart upon going to College earlier than hie guardians thought proper; and, on his being disap pointed in this matter, he ran away from his tutor's house, and was lost for several months - first in Wales, and afterward in London. He Was then sixteen. His whole life presents no more remarkable evidence of his constant absorption in introspection than the fact that while tortured with hunger in the streets of London for many weeks, and sleeping (or rather lying awake with cold and hunger) on the floor of an empty house, it never once oc curred to him to earn money. As a classical corrector of the press, and in other ways, he might no doubt have obtained employment; but it was not till after ward asked why he did not that the idea ever entered his mind. How he starved—how he would have died but for a glass of spiced wine in the middle of the night on some steps on Soho-square, the Opium Eater told all the world above thirty years since; and also of his entering college; of the love of wine gene rated by the comfort it had yielded in his days of starvation; and again, of the disorder of the functions of the stomach which naturally followed, and the resort to opium as a refuge from the pain. It is to be feared that the description given in those ex traordinary "Confessions" has acted more strongly in tempting young people to seek the eight years' pleasures he derived from laudanum than that of his subsequent tor mentsdn deterring them. There was no one to present to them the consideration that the peculiar organization of De Quincey, and his bitter sufferings, might well make a recourse to opium a different thing to him than to anybody else. The quality of his mind, and the exhausted state of his body, enhanced to him the enjoyments which he called "divine;" whereas there is no doubt of the miserable pain by which men of all consti tutions have to expiate an habitual indulgence in opium. Others than De Quincey may or may not proeure the pleasures he experi enced; but it is certain that every one must expiate his offence against the laws of the human frame. And let it be remembered that De Quincey's excuse is as singular as his excess. Of the many who have emulated his enjoyment, there can hardly have been one whose stomach had been well-nigh destroyed by months of incessant, cruel hunger. This event of his life—his resort to opium —absorbed all the rest. There is little more to tell in the way of incident. His existence was thenceforth a series of dreams, undergone in differCnt places—now at College, and now at Westmoreland Cottage, with a gentle suf fering wife by his side, striving to minister to a need which was beyond the reach of nurs ing. He could amuse his predominant fac ulties by reading metaphysical philosophy, and analytical reasoning on any subject; and by elaborating endless analyses and reason trigs of his own, which he had not energy to embody. Occasionally the torpor en croached even on his predominant faculties; and then he roused himself to over- • come the habit—underwent fearful Buffering in the weaning—began to enjoy the vital hap piness of temperance and health; and then —fell back again. The influence upon the moral energies of his nature was, as might be supposed, fatal. Such energy he once had, as his earlier efforts at endurance amply tes tify. But As years passed on, he not only be came a more helpless victim to his prominent vice, but manifested an increasing insensi bility to the most ordinary requisitions of honor and courtesy,to say nothing of gratitude and sincerity. In his hungry days in London he would not beg or borrow. Five years later he wrote to Wordsworth, in admiration and sympathy; received an invitation to his Westmoreland valley; went, more than once, within a few miles; and withdrew and re turned to Oxford,unable to conquer his pain ful shyness;—returned at last to live there, in THE DAILY EVEN IN G .131111LETIN--P . IIILA the very cottage which *ad been WOrds worth's; received for himself, his wife', and a groviing family of childreb, , an.unintermitting series of friendly and neighborly offices; was necessarily admitted ,to 'muck house hold confidence, and ,Xavored with substantial aid, which, :was certainly not given through any strong liking for his manners, eonversation, or character. `How did be recompense all this exertion and endurance on his behalf ? In after years, when living (we believe) at Edinburgh, and pressed by debt, he did not, once exert him self to write; and .what he wrote was an ex posure, in a disadvantageous light, of every thing about the Wordsworths which he knew merely by their kindness. He wrote papers which vvere - eagerly - retaVaud - of course - duly paid for, in which WortisWOrth's personal foibles were malignantly exhibited with ingenious aggravatiOnd. The infir mities of one member of the family, the personal blemish of another, and the human weaknesses of all, were displayed; and all for the purpose of deepening the dis like against Wordsworth himself, which the receiver of his money,the eater of his dinners, and the dreary provoker of his patience strove to excite. Moreover, he perpetrated an act of treachery scarcely paralleled, we hope, in the history of Literature. In the confidence of their most familiar days Wordsworth had communicated portions of his posthumous poem to his guest, who was perfectly well aware that the work NV RA to rest in darkness and silence till after the Poet's death.ln these magazine articles De Quincey—using for this atrocious purpose his fine gift of memory— published a passage which. he informed us was of far higher merit than anything else we had to expect. And what was Words worth's conduct under this unequalled expe rience of bad faith and bad feeling ? While so many anecdotes were going of the Poet's fireside, the following ought to be added : An old friend was talking with him by that fireside, and mentioned De Quincey's maga zine articles. Wordsworth begged to be spared any account of them, saying that the man had long passed away from the family life and mind; and he did not wish to ruffle himself in a useless way about a misbehavior which could not be remedied. The friend ac quiesced, saying, "Well, I will tell you only one thing that he says, and then we will talk of other things. He says your wife is too good for you." The old Poet's dim eyes lighted up instantly, and he started from his seat, and flung himself against the mantle piece, with his back to the fire, as he cried with loud enthusiasm—" And that's true.' There he is right!" and his disgust and con tempt for the traitor were visibly moderated. M. M. Conway's Success in London. Our good Virginian Radical, Noricum I) Conway, was last week elected a Fellow ot the Anthropological Society of London. I know not how many years Mr. Conway has been a resident in England, but it must tn six or seven, at least, and his history is a re markable one. He has achieved a kind of success difficult to an Englishman, and ' doubly difficult to an American in England There is no place where competition in literary work is so keen, where the supply is so much greater than the demand, as London; arid where one man succeeds in a pure literary career, there are scores who fail. Mr. Conway, without any other aid than his own energy and genius,has made his way into the front rank of writers in the periodical press. There are three daily journals in London so superior to the rest as to constitute a class by themselves, and to two of these Mr. Conway is a regular contributor of leading articles. His work is equally sought for in such re views and magazines as the Frazer,the Fort nightly and the Westminster. In the midht of all this labor, he has found time for independent scientific pur suits, and for regular discourses on Sun day in South Place Chapel, to which he at tracts a large body of thoughtful hearers. .He has a wide acquaintance among scientific and literary men—with Huxley and Tyndall, Carlyle, Fronde, Browning and many another name well known in America—with whom, as well BB in general society, he is a great favorite. Secure in his position, he bas settled himself comfortably in a house in Notting Hill Square, with all the air of a man to whom London has become a permanent home, but who is thoroughly American spite of his long exile, and who does good service to America in many ways; not least by the example of a successful career due to that kind of culture and ability in which Ameri cans are supposed to be most deficient.— London correspondence N.
