NEW PUBLICATION&
Shakespeare's Midiummer ' Night's Dream.
Illustrated with
. twenty-four silhouettes 'by P.
Roinswka. Boston : Roberta Bros':—This
v4l
- which the publishers just Managed sto
iqueeze from the press in time : to nick the
Christmas season, with but a few' poor' hours
,tro spare, will certainly disappoint, their visions
if it prove nothing more than .a "holiday
book;" a costly sacrifice, that ,is to say, to a
tertian conventional sense of anniversary duty,
obliged to be ;Very, worthless and expensive,, to
hard a Cerittin glided; baaet4silbi, dbn't-toueh
me bloom upon it, to:be feared and respected
brit neverused,.tn be ,uncomfortably and un
teleaningly'spientlid while it lasts, and to fade
from the centre-table to the closet before next
Christmas. ,If :this is to: ihe the place of the
present edition, then it was horn . too late to
Davy had any proper reason for existence. But
wi'tiwitik,.aia• beautiful and clear imprint of
Shakespeare's principal effort of fancy, com
mended to the eye by all that is generous in
pafer and print, and embroidered throughout
wip a strange tracery of unfamiliar designs,
the Book . nay prove something better than - a
holiday trifle, and may secure a place among
the Shakespeare hiver's friends as a suggestive
and valued reading companion. A good deal
hasiteen printed about the strange manner of
these drawings,the labor of a German artist hith
erto 'unknown among its, and bearing the queer
manic of Konewka. They are simple silhon
ettesras if cut out of black paper and attached
to the leaf. It is true that the, designer has
shown great , skill in giving variety to the poses
and groupings 'of these little figures ; . but it is
an injustice to art to celebrate the oddities be
fore ns as if there were any great merit in re
stricting the pencil so. The fact is, the sil
houette is
~ a.convenient veil, under which a
thousand imperfections may be concealed.
There is nothing in the book to prove that Mr.,
Paul Konewka , has any serise.of chiaroscuro
or ofair,'of foreshortening, of indicating the
round. Designs on the principle of these be
fore us' have been the favorite . recreation of
many artists, usually of ` the dash-away species,
who, holding a large brash_ heavily charged:
with black pigment, could throw off' an ex
pressive attitude almost in
,a moment. The
sketches before us attempt something higher,
and seem to recall rather the black designs on
Etruscan pottery than the slashes of carica
turists. We have already, in some preliminary
remarks about this work, expressed regret that
the publishers did not ally the adopted style of
art in people's minds at once with the classics,
and put to flight all associations with low
iomic work, by supplying a mat tint of the
fawn or orange color usual :in old vases, on
which the black designs would imprint them
selves with, less of raw contrast, and more of
richness 'and tone. A red border having al
ready been prepared for 'each page, the mat
could have been printed with one trouble. In
the twenty-four pictures thus presented,
there is great choice, Mr. Konewka
commanding his hand with sure
success , when he • is at work
on little children or 'clowns, and showing far
less distinction in his touch when treating
young heroes and ladies. We think we per
ceive a staginess, an old-young look, a want of
elevation, and breeding, and race, in every
one :,of the figures representing the mortal
lovers in the play. The fairies, on the con
trary, are rarely exquisite ; the four elves who
sport around the beheaded figure of BottOm,
topped by little Cobweb, who scatters films
over his brain, are full of tricksy life and grace.
()heron, in the shape of Corin, ‘; versing love
to amorous I'hilida," is very elegant. Herinia
and Helena quarreling in childhood, though
rather Germanesque than Shakespearian, are
full of spirit. yttek, meeting the fairy, bursts
with saucy life. li i many cases the slight, de
partures allowable from strict silhouette, as in
giving gauziness to drapery or wings, and
reticulation to the locks of hair, are used with
great gain of effect.' The figures are supported
'upon, instead of ugly blocks of ground, fan
tastic scrolls always appropriate to the scene,
whether the thorubush of Moonshine, the
wali-of-Troy" pattern of Wall, the thistle of
Bottom, or the flowery entanglements of the
woodland scenes. The drawing, although we
contradict the united press in saying it, is not
of that exquisite refinement which is universally
attributed to it. Many of the faces are , coarse
and bloated, with a peculiar German pulpy
mouth which is the trade-mark of the.
artist'; and many of the limbs are im
perfect in outline. But in expressive
ness, in the power of telling the story,
not a figure has missed ; and in saying that we
say a good deal. The publishers • have pre
pared for the title-page a steel-plate vignette of
a head, a fancy portrait - of Helena. They wish
us to contradict the report, circulated in a con
siderable-porton of the press, that this is a like
ness of a particular New England beauty.
They claim that it is strictly ideal. But they
cannot force this claim. The head is a tell
tale,-of strictly American type,having the very
look of a photograph, and such as airy artist
would decide to be studied from a model.
Everything considered, we think this
volume deserves a much higher place than the
ephemeral holiday book. It is not only an or
namental quarto to decorate a marble slab,but it
is a book that helps the fancy in making friends
with the lfiflumnier Right'., Dream. We
only hope that the consideration it has met with
will not prove a w ill-of-the-w isp to our artists—
as the celebrity of Retzsch's outlines did some
years ago—and lead them to fancy that fame
will follow them if they enter these easy and
stylish limitations of art, and then begin 'to turn
out thousands of silhouette illustrations at once
very peculiar and very . i‘ horrid."
The Primeval World of Hebrew 'Tradition.
By Frederic Henry Hedge. Boston : Roberts
Bros., 1810.—This is another of those efforts,
so distinctly model n in their scheme, to treat the
Bible realistically, and harmonize it properly
with modern philosophies of history and disco
veries in science. The reader will find Mr. Hedge
always, ready :with a theory; and, apart from
the general shock due to his wide departures
from the old "evangelical" style of commentary,
' will be a good deal troubled by his extreme and
often flippant readiness to set up a theory of his
own, of course quite conjecttiral, in the place of a
literal interpretation of - the old history. We
can best justify our criticism by a rather long
extract, giving the new reading applied by Mr.
73edge to the plain story of Cain and Abel :
CAIN, OR, PROPERTY ANL STRIPE AB AGENTS
IN CIVILIZATION
"Property is theft," was the saying of the
French socialist. Property is violence, says
the testimony of Hebrew tradition. This first
said necessary step' in civilization, Involving a
conflict ofivills and rights, was not to be taken
without, opposition and deadly strife. The
fiery of Cam represents tbat first step, repre_
bents the beginning of civil society, as the story
of Adam, in Eden represents a state antecedent
to civil life.. ' . •
What the facts precisely were.that gave riae
to this stay it; is inniossible to say. — These
dark traditions of a prehistoric age are not'to
be received as exact. report, but es mythicalin
vestinent of historic fact. , In the absence
written chronicles, when pase'litiente live oily
in the memory, - and are handed dOWnv by
verbal transmission from generation to genera
tion, it is only the more salient points
and the prominent names that tradi
tion retains. An imaginary Case ,May
illustrate this law. Suppose there
were no written history of our late civil War,
"and no contemporary documents from which
to compile one. Suppose the art of writing
were unknown and the whole transaction com
mitted to the keeping of tradition, that is, to
the memory of successive generations. What.
aspect would the factste to assume in
seine distant aee,.say, after a lapse of a thou
sand years ? Most probably that of a personal
contest between Abraham Lincoln and Jeffer
son Davis, resulting in the death of the former.
The causes of the contest, the rights 'of the
case, would be variously conceived and repre.
sented by descendants of the different parties,
or rather by the different streams of tradition
originating with, thern, and embodying differ
ent views of the question. One wonktrepre
sent it as an act of aggression perpetrated
by Lincoln , with a view to deprive .Davis
of his slaves ; another would describe
it as a movement on the part of
Davis to overrun the territory of Lincoln, and
to occupy it with an alien race. Such, we
may imagine, would . be the fragmentary and
contradictory notes that might survive of a
great historic event, in the absence of written
testimony. And such • I suppose to be the
character and historic import of this ancient
fragment of Hebrew tradition. I suppose it to
be the sediment and mythical deposit of some
historic event, some great conVulaitni 'of the
early world, of which the names of Cain and
Abel have survived as prominent acters,—a
fatal encounter between two parties. repre
sented by these names.
This critical event which forms an epoch in
human history is here presented in the form of
an apologise. Two brothers, the first of woman
born, dtvell side by side in a region bordering'
on the land of Eden, a region still glowing
with the beauty of primal nature, and re
joicing in the presence of the Lord. Inclina
tion leads them 'different ways; they apply
themselves each to his chosen pursuit. One
pastures his flocks and leads the roving life of,
a shepherd; the other, more progressive, tills
the ground and seeks in the sweat of his face
a more varied subsistence than unfilled nature
even then could supply. Tlie Lori, it is said,
favored Abel rather than Cain; the shepherd
obtains some advantage over'the planter. Im
mediately the world becomes toe narrow for
the brothers. Violence. ensues; the elder lifts
his hand against the younger, and slays him.
For this he is drivenfromhis native land, and
finally takes ap his abode in Eastern Asia,where
he builds a city, and where be and his de- .
scendants introduce the arts of civilized life.
Such is the form in which tradition has em
bodied some of the facts connected with the
first division of the human family. The facts
appear to have come to us through a colored
medium,—a medium colored in the interest of
the shepherd race. We have here one side of
the story;` there is another version of it, pre
served by some tribe of the Semite stock, in
which Abel appears as the aggressor and Cain
as the victim.
What is clearly historical is the fact of a rup
ture between two classes or tribes, -a nomadic
and an agricultural people, and the consequent
migration of the latter in an eastward direction
from the land of their nativity. The story sup
poses some advance in the arts of life. It is no
rude," state of nature," so called, no infant so
ciety that is broUght to view. Between
the period represented by Adam and that
represented by Cain and Abel, a long tract
of time must be supposed to have in
tervened. The condition of primitive nature
is outgrown:
,artificial life has begun. We
find man in possession of domestic animals,
which be has learned to train and make profit
able; We find him tilling the ground, conse
quently in possession of agricultural imple
ments, Which, however rude. presupposes skilled
labor ter their invention. All this implies pro
gress, and progress implies time. Two distinct
callings—two at least—have developed them
selves,—the shepherd's and the husbandman's.
Hence, conflicting interests and occasional col
lisions,—the herdstaan claiming unlimited
right of pasturage, the planters seeking to re
serve and inclose a portion of the land for
agricultural use. It is likely that both parties
had cause of complaint. On the one hand, the
sequestration of what had hitherto been com
mon would seem an invasion of his natural
rights to the herdsman; and, on the other, the
damage done to his plantations by the,
grazing herds must have been an intol
erable nuisance to the, planter. Both are
represented as addicted to the worship
of Jehovah. Cain brought of the fruit of
the ground an offering unto the Lord, and
Abel, be also brought of the firstlings of his
flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord
had respect unto Abel and his offering, but un
to -Cain and his offering he'had not respect."
Here we • have evidently the speculation .of
some narrator who has colored the tradition
with hiS own conceit. To suppoSe that God is
better pleased with the offering of slaughtered
lambs than of; fresh fruits is a monstrous mis
conception of the Godhead. It was some re
flected idea. of atoning blood, as constituting
the value of sacrifice, which gave this color to
the story.
The novelty of giving this wide political view
to a narrative which, in the Original, moves
with the large simplicity and limited personae
of an epic, is perhaps palatable; however disre-
Spectful ; we only claim that if We go to bowl
ing, down the original history, which is
unsupported evidence of an entirely self-re- .
liant kind, we then have a I.abilla rasa for
every man to construet his them) on, and that
Mr. Hedge has no individual right to present
his own as at all authoritative. In the same
spirit, and with a calm which we cannot but
admire, Mr,. Hedge denies the report that
Methuselah lived 060 years, simply because so
long a life would have been a bore. He pat
ronizes MOses's aceinint of the flood, - lartd his
Christianity is shocked at the theory of ; it as a
punishment for the crimes of mankind. In
his notion, the old Fourierites of the day
having made an awkward failure in their at
tempt to hive the human family, a cataclysm
of Fome sort followed, and was called'a:

of .Nizurod's,..tower,- and the- • confusion- of
tongues, becoMe with him typeS of the
slow rise and fall of a great: empire, with 80,
gradual dispersion and misunderstandings of its
subjects.
When Mr. Fledge is less tickled with a
theory, the originality which is natural to him
produces some very fine effects. Ills analysis
of human nature is subtle, and only errs in
sometimes taking, as fundamental expressions
of character those sparse speecheS or deeds
which may have been accidental or the birth
of circumstance. We like the following study
of the contemplative patriarch whO came be

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY. 6,1870,
prefigured the fortunes the race
endnres. The ancestral three have each
beentathed to their progeny one distin
guished trait. From Abraham the race de
dived the•idea of, one God, the : original Impulse
oftheirAMonotheism. Father Jacob gyre them
the acquisitiveness, the calculating spirit of
trade, and the long-suffering ) which still distin
guish them among all the peoples of the earth.
The legacy of Isaac was : the ;silent, brooding
mind, the tendency to inwardneils, less gener
ally diffused, less frequentlY"deVeloped, less na ,
tionally prominent, but Still on the whole, as
'it seems to me, a Characteristic trait.'
That little piece of character-drawing would
have been enough, a few years ago, when Gil-
Allan was writing, to build up a reputation
and even now, when close study of history has
extended from profane story to the Bible
chronicles, and become a common luxury, it
proves Mr. Iledge's originality, and discrimina
tion. Another of his well-expressed theorems,
fixes, as we think, with dearness and beauty,
the plactkof the Bible in relation to science :
Much ingenuity has been expended in vain
attempts to reconcile the Bible account of crea
tion with the commonly-received conchisions
of science. As if the.interests of religion and
man's WellLbeink depended on the
scientific accuracy of the Book of Gene Sis,
nay, on the literal interpretation of that Book.
what perverseness of unbelief• can exceed the
perverseness of religious bigotry which would
make religion accountable for the views enter
tained by remote antiquity on subjects which
the latest science has scarcely yet explored,—
the, bigotry which fancies the credit of the Bi
ble or the value-of its spiritual revelations im
paired by the fact that the writers thereof . en
tertained the opinions common to their age on
matters of scientific import.. -
Mr..lleflge's little work will undoubtedly set
ideas to , springing, and its error of dogmatism
is so obvious as to correct itself. It will do no
harm to those who have come in contact with
the stronger personalities and wider science of
Strauss and Renal'. The book is put in neat
shape by Roberts Bros.,' and will be found in
the stock of Messrs. Porter & Cates.
Mrs. Stowe's book, " Lady Byron Vindi
cated," was published yesterday by Fields, Oa
good ! Sc. Co.,' in a l 2mo of nearly 500 pages,
antique type. We have been compelled as
•common news-caterers to take so much notice
of the work that there is no necessity : for doing
more in this column than announcing its ap
pearance and repeating-that the book, in our
opinion, unlike most of the publications. to
which Messrs. Fields, Osgood k Co. lend their
names, is not one for family reading.
, Froth • John Penington & Son, 127 South
Seventh street, we receive a little work in
French on the Sun, Le Soleil, containing those
clear statements of the present theory of light,
and of the machinery of the solar system,which
we should expect from the author, Amedee
Guillemin---a writer having a quite singular
faculty in the composition of works of popular
instruction. Fifty-eight illustrations improve
the expressiveness of the treatise. Teachers
who read French will find this work exceed
ingly helpful in,expanding their ideas on the
subjects *flight, optics, gravitation, &c.
Messrs. Penington & Son likewise import, as
one of the latest literary sensations, • Lai Arts
au Moyen Aye, by Paul Lacroix. This is a
splendid quarto, remarkable for its minute and
exact copies of Works of art. Four hundred
cif these illustrations arc fine wood-cuts. Nine
teen others are chromo-lithographs, devoted to
the representation of masterpieces of color, and
vindicating the true place among the industrial
arts of this modern nse of tinted printing-ink.

INriteE; LW* NEN
"In - 1844 1' was neutenant on board the
'United States ship St. Lonis, in the China seas,
Commanded by Captain Isaac McKeever, who
oue day informed me in the course of familiar
conversation that he was on board the Consti
tution, and officer of the deck and watch,when
Lord Byron visited the Constitution in 1822.
Me said Lord Byron was very much embar
i.assed by his reception, all the officers pssem-.
bled on deck in full uniform and the inarines
drawn up under arms to receive him. Count
Gambra, the father of the too celebrated
Countess Guiccioli, accompanied him. An ele
gantly bound volume of an
,Amerlean edition
of. his pOeMs was lying on the cabin table,
which be examined, with the remark that it
was the handsomest compliment ever paid him.
" At that time the pronunciation of his name
was disputed in the United States and Com
modore Jacob Jones, who commanded the
Mediterranean squadron, of which the Consti
tution was the flagship—a man of great sim
plicity of character—put the direct question to
Lim : Pray, my Lord, which is the more cor
rect pronunciation of your name—Be-ron or
Byron ?' Lord Byron's reply, though not a
direct one, settles the question as to which he
favored. He .hesltaisql a.m ionient, said Captain.
McKeever, and then said : My graMlfitther
called um By-ron ; my mother called me By
ron ; my yuerdinn, Be-you:'—intoning his
voice, and speaking of his grandfather with
pride s of his mother with affection, but of his
guardian with contempt. Yet: notwithstan&
ing this declaration, I have seen his name writ

of the Bridge of Sighs or on a column of the
Temple of Theseus at Atheirs,l forget which—

SUEZ CANAL.
Letter from M. de Limey,.
The journal L'lWitne de Suez of the Ihth of
December publishes the following with respect
to the canal:
The subjoined letter has been communicated
to us. 'lt was written by M. de Lesseps to a
body of shareholders, in reply to an address
forwarded to him by them aiking him to pro
cure from the Khedive a temporary guarantee
for the payment of interest:
Gcnt/einen : The directors have transmitted
to me the letter bearing your signatures rela
tive to the Suez Canal. In consequence of the
sinister reports that have been circulated re
garding it you propose to ask of the Khedve a
temporal) , miarantee for •the payment of in
terest. What has occurred to justify with a
request, the evident result of wiC.cli would be
to give rise to the supposition that the share
holders, after having had faith iu their enter
prise and sustained it through ditliculties are
discouraged now that the work has heen
clowned with fatal striking success? de
mand for a guarantee, which I abstained from
making.at the beginning, as containing a prin
ciple contrary to my convictions, could not now
be adopted by your president.. Nor is there
any necessity fot such a guarantee. It ,Tests,
with the shareholders to keep up the valite of
the shares by the attittetk they assume in •' , .the
face of the calumnious 'reperts that have been
propagated coneerning*lnterprise, evidently
for the purpose of lowering the 'price of the
securities and thereby causing you to dispose
of them in order that they themselves may buy
them at a discount—a proceeding which proves
that they estimate the worth of the shares
more highly than you yourselves do. A stran
ger to all kinds of Bourse speculations, I learned
with the greatest astonishment that on tire day
succeeding the Inauguration of the canal, ac
complished with unhoped-for stuxess there
was a great fall in the price of the shares. • I
am quite aware that the majority of the share
holders lave been unaffected by these
rumors, rightly attributing them to the
manoeuvres of stook jobbers; but I do not
the less deplore. the alarm that has seized the
minds of some of the most steady • and oldest
of my co-operators. Why is it that past expe
rience has not warned them. against the. un
blushing falsehoods which a body .of jobbers
have set afloat on the Paris Bourse ? I have
but one reply to make to, reassure those of the
shareholders whose alarin has been awakened.
Between the 17th and 24th of November 130
large vessels passed from one sea to the other,
representing a gross tonnage of 80,000 tons.
Since that time the navigation has not been in
terrupted a single day ; every vessel arrived at
either port has and can pass through the canal
without the Slightest difficulty. Our position is,
therefore, excellent, and to-cut short the scan
dalous proCeedings of the clique aboVe-men-
Coned, I have requested the Council of Admin.-
istration to convoke a-general assembly at an
early period. Consequently, I shall soon be
among you and will lay before you, with the
same frankness as heretofore, the exact condi
tion of our flue and fruitful undertaking. I
may,add that we have no hind of loan to sub
wit to you.

France. Contentment with .their lot Seems to
be very general ; and, if it is a feature of the
French character to be amused with what we
should perhaps call trifles, this custom has at
least the advantage of occupying time harm
lessly. It is impossible, of course, to be the
guest of a French family,where there are daugh
ters, without being struck by the great contrast
between their life and that of English girls.
This contrast appeared to me now to be
more striking than ever, and this is the
case ; for, while the French girl has been, so to
speak, standing still,- her life before marriage
running in the same narrow domestic groove,
our English girls have been accorded, more
liberty, of which they bave not been slow to
take advantage, with what result, -in many
cases, is well known. Thus encouraged to
indulge in amusements Of the most exciting
nature, a orriet home becomes a bore, and their
young life is spent In frivolities which aresorry
preparations for the Years when they hope to
be matrons. There is, doubtless, much to be
said against the French system of marrying
girls to men whose characters they have little
or no opportunity of studying; but, although
continental marriages are not, as a rule, the
result of innival love, it is certain that in France
a maidenhood of glittering but unreal splendor
is rarely, if ever, succeeded by a wifebtxxl
of,disappointment and unhappiness."
