THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1858
Publishers and Books.
The Publishing Trade, as it is called, is evidently
recovering from the depression under which it has
greatly suffered for more than two years. An erro
neous idea has prevailed, that this branob of Intel
leotual production was in a flourishing condition,
until the commercial revulsion of last autumn
dragged it into that vortex which swallowed up
so many and such wealthy argosies of enterprise.
But the worm was in the bud from the early part
of 1855, as publishers are fully aware. The first
blow was given by the Presidential election of that
year, and the Panic of 1857 only gave it what,
but for groat natural vitality, would have been a
coup do grace. It is well known that during
great political excitement, in all countries, the
publishing trade suffers. So it is with us during
the all-engrossing fever of a Presidential election;
so it was in France during her various revolutions.
So in the Netherlands, in Germany, in Italy, in
Spain, and so, in a remarkable manner, in 1831
and 1832, during the Reform Bill excitement in
England. Seemly any new books of importance
were published in the United States during the
year 1850, but, contrary to expectation, this busi
ness did not revive when the political tetra had
subsided. The panic of last autumn only com
pleted tho decline which had commenced sums
eighteen months before.
That a brigbter day has dawned, is obvious, pot
only from'the activity of purchases displayed! at
the recent Trade Sale in New York, and that
which, even while we write, is now proceeding in
this city. Moreover, our leading publishers hive
lately been " up and stirring" far some time pact,
as our readers are aware, from announcements
which we have recently made of forthcoming
books—many of them of great interest and value
—and from our notices of books lately issued. The
Harpers and the Appletons, of Now York, have
thus been busy, and so with the leading Boston
houses, Little, Brown, !it Co., Phillips, Sampson, ,1c
Co., and Ticknor lc Fields. When the vast ex
penditure on publishing is considered—the amounts
paid to paper-makers, binders, typefounders, emu-
positors, atereotypers, and authors—the impor
tance of publishing, even as a branch of manu
factures, cannot be too highly estimated. We
take it for granted thtit our readers, quick and
intelligent, do not need any hint as to the lever
tones, socially and ir,telleotu ,Ily, of. the increase
cf good books. And it is gratifying to note that,
I with few exceptions, the character of books re
cently published or announced, is very good. The
yellow-covered class of literary impurity, whether
original or translated, has gone to the wall—it is
to be hoped forever.
These, remarks will not be considered out of
place, we hope, as prefatory to a running notice
of new books, chiefly by American authors, which
have accumulated on our table during the last
ten days. The most convenient way, perhaps, is
to take the publishers in alphabetical order; it
saves any difficulty on the ground of precedence.
Appleton & Company, of New York. have sent
us " Legends and Lyrics, a Book of Verses,"
by Adelaide Anne Procter, daughter of the lyric
poet long known by his nom de plume of Barry
Cornwall. These poems show more reflective
power than imegination, with a depth of thought
each as young female writers rarely exhibit. They
show, too, full mastery over the mechanical diffi
culties of the art, for wo have not detected any
defective rhymes or halting rythm. Without be.
Mg religious poems, these are imbued with reli
gious feeling. There is great promise in this
little volume, by a poet's daughter—. Electron ;
or the Pranks of the Modern Puck," by William
C. Richards, Is delivered as a telegraphic epic for
the times. It is written in the Spencerian stanza,
suggested by the Ocean Cable, and shows consider.
abio research as well as great skill in putting his
torical and scientific data in a fanciful setting ,of
sweet-voiced poetry. Mr. Richards has produced
ono of the very few lyrical tributes at all worthy
of the high subject be undertook to illustrate.
But, apropos of Song, hero is "The Household
- Boots of Poetry," collected end edited by Cimino
A. Dana. It is in royal octavo, tastily printed,
with the clearest of type on the brightest of paper.
The deeign, which is admirably executed, is to
give, in a single volume, whatever le truly beau
tiful and admirable among the minor poems of
the English language, and this includes the pro
ductions of American genius. Tho arrangement
is original and satisfactory. Instead of making a
melange of the contents, or of putting them alpha
betionlly or" ohrenologleally, they are given
under distinctive beetle, as Poems of Nature, of
Childhood, of Friendship, of Love, of Ambition,
of Comedy. of Trcgedy,of Sorrow, of the Ima
gination. of Sentiment and Reflection, and of Re
ligion. Upwards of ono thousand lyrics are here
collected, contributed by three hundred and
twelve named authors, and one hundred anony
mous writers. Mr. Dana has brought a matured
and cultivated judgment to his delicate task of
selection. We miss a few names (Mre. Sigourney's
and Mary Ann Browne'e among them), which, we
think, might have been niched here, but we have
not met with one of doubtful merit. Moreover,
Mr. Dana has drawn largely from that "well of
English undefiled" so largely supplied by the
early poets, and so little known. In one
word, this Household Book of Poetry is the
very best collection of lyrics in the language,
and will supersede the volumes of a like character
edited by Southey, Hazlitt, Griswold, and others.
Of Mr. Minturn's now book of travels, " From
Now York to Delhi," by way of Rio de Janeiro,
Australia, and China, we recently delivered a very
favorable opinion. The account of India is admi
rably graphic, and gives the author's tour from
Calcutta to Bombay, through Bonares, Cawnpare,
Luoknow, Delhi, and the Mabarattas. The con
eluding chapters, on the resources, wealth, govern. ,
ment, army, climate, and troubles of India, are
cyclopwdic in their varied information.
The octavo, by Mr. John Mullaly, on " The Lay
ing of the Telegraphic Cable," is a satisfactory
work, as regards satisfying public curiosity upon a
very engrossing subject. The author accompanied
caoh of the expeditions for laying the Cable, and
his hook is therefore very reliable. It is a little
diffuse, at times, and not a little desultory, (ez gr.,
the account of Queen Victoria and the Orleans
family,l but it tells a groat deal that was not
known before, and it collects much that was.
Of two other publications of Messrs. Appleton
we can barely acknowledge the receipt here, net
understanding their subjects. One is " national
Cosmology ; or the Eternal Principles, and the Ne
cessary Laws of the Universe," by Laurens P.
Hickok, D D., Union College; the other is " Ves
tiges of the Spirit-History of Man," a most erudite
work, by S. F Dunlap, Member of the American
Oriental Society, New Haven.
H. Dayton, New York, sends us " Now England's
Chattels; or Life in the Northern Poor• House."
This is a story, the subject of which is indiented by
the sub-title. The enormities of the New England
poor-houses deserved exposure, and here receive
it, in the popular form of fiction.
From Little, Brown, k Co., of Boston, we have
"Visitation and Search," by William Bench Law
rence, editor of Wheaton's Elements of Interna
tional Law. This volume contains a history of the
British claim to exercise a maritime police over
the vessels of all nations, in peace as well ns in
war, and discuses the expediency of terminating
the Bth article of tho Ashburton treaty. We con
sider this a truly valuable and well-timed book,
supplying full and aocurato information on a most
important subject, which had nearly precipitated
America and England into hostilities a few months
ago,and whioh has yet to be discussed, and finally
disposed of, In the Congress of one nation and the
Parliament of the other.
"The Druggist's Directory," published by
Michels and Elder, New York, is a singular work,
on which an immense amount of labor must have
been expended. It contains the names, with their
places of business, of the wholesale and retail
druggists of the United States, and British North
America, and of the wholesale houses in all other
parts of the civilized world, from Russia to Ans.
trona, from Sierra Leone to Calcutta. It is Inter
leaved with numerous advertisements and business
cards from this country and England. Certainly,
a curious volume.
W. B. ?debar extends to us the new number of
the London Art . Journal, containing, amid mush
artistic literature, a Memoir and vignette head of
Dr. Alexander Anderson, the pioneer engraver of
America, who still, at the age of 84, exercises the
beautiful art to whose advancement his own labors
have much contributed. The steel•illustratione
here, from the Queen's eolleotions, show Van
Dyck's marriage of Bt. Catherine, Rubella' Farm
at Luken, and MaoDowell's statue of Lord Fits
gibbon.
Peterson & l3rother4 ;we just included Miss
Pardon's " Rival Beauties," in their library of
Standard Novels. The story, which is essentially
English, is ono of the best of its elms, and exhi
bits character as well as interest. Messrs Peter
son have also brought out, in a handsome and
portly octavo, the whole of Miss Pardon's works
of fiction, well printed and substantially bound.
This volume contains Tho Confessions of a Pretty
Woman, The Jealous Wife, The Wife's Trials,
The Romance of the Harem, and The Rival Beau
ties. This oollootion is a valuable addition to the
Latelleetual enjoyment of the publie, and the
TWO CENTS.
healthy tone of Julia ,Pardon's writings ' par
ticularly reoommends them as family reading.
Phillips, Sampson, .k Company, of Boston, have
published a new book by the anther of "Ida
May." It is a novei,' entitled "Agnes," the
time of action being the Revolutionary period,
which has already supplied our authors with eub
joote and inoidents for works of fiction. The au
thor has bore produced a book far superior to
"Ida May," and, fortunately for its general ac
ceptability, upon a more neutral subject. That
part of the story which carries us among the
Indians in the northern part of this State, shows
remarkable familiarity with their manners, cus
toms, and dialect. The story ends vary mourn
fully, but is admirably related.
Sheldon, Blakeman, 3c Company, of New York,
have just issued a volunie of Sermons to the
Churches, by the Rev. Dr. Pranois Wayland, of
Providence, R. I. These Discourses, addressed to
all disciples of Christianity, were produced with.
the view of impressing individual Christiana with
the iropriety of using personal efforts for the con
version of men, and a more consistent and uncom
promising profession of religion. We have been
so mush impressed with the force of Dr. Way
land's reasoning, and the earnestness of his argu
ments, that wo strongly recommend the book.

tachment, and a treatise on Foreign Attachment
in the Lord Mayor's Court of London. by Joix
Loom 1 vol., Aro. pp 767: Boston: Litilt, Brown,
41' Co., 1858
Attachment, as a means of collecting debts, is
one of the moat efficient remedies known Mille
law, and ie peculiarly a branch of American juris
prudence. It is unknown to the c'emnion . law of
Eastland, which is the basis of the legal system of
every State in the Union, excepting Louisiana.
By custom a practice has prevailed in the city of
London from time immemorial, to proceed against
a non-resident debtor by a writ called a foreign at
tachment, granted by the Lord Mayor's Court, but
no other part of the United Kingdom possesses the
same remedy. In England, the bankrupt law,
which gives process against the debtor, both in
persona= and in tens, has, in a great degree, sup
plied the remedy by attachment, but in this coun-
try, where imprisonment for debt has been gene
rally abolished, and where no bankrupt law,
properly speaking, exists, attachment, by original,
memo, or final process against the goods and chat
tels of delinquent or absent debtors, has grown to
ben most important part of the remedial branch of
our jurisprudence. The laws of the several States,
although marked by many peculiar and individual
features, nevertheless form a body of jurispru
dence much mote homogeneous and systematic
than the ordinary reader and practitioner is apt
to suppose ; and one great merit of the book under
review consists in the effort of the author (in,
which he has boon quite successful) to treat the
attachment laws of the different States as forming
a general system, and one of the utmost import
ance to the study and practice of the Bar of the
United States. The questions arising in our
courts under the process of attachment, as be
tween the original parties to the action, and also as
botween them and third persona, who claim either
adversely to the attachment, or under some equity
created by that remedy, are sometimes of a most
difficult and intricate character. But springing,
as they all do, out of this form of proceeding, they
vary but little in the different courts in which
they perpetually recur, and are in nowise depend
ant on the peculiarities of the statutory provisions
exising in the several States. Hence the work be
fore us is highly valuable from the careful study
which the author has evidently given to all the
general questions arising under the law of attach
ment in the abstract, and from the manneria
which ho has treated every part of the imbjebt.
His design bee been so to write his book than it
may not be limited in its usefulness to any one
State in particular, but to all alike. There are
difficulties in each an attempt, which any one who
has essayed to treat of a legal topic, diveralled
by the different systems of the different States.
will fully appreciate; and the ; congratulation's
which we offer to Mr. Drake are based on a pro
found conviction of the success of his effort.
Judge Sergeant, one of the most learned and
upright judges that ever eat on any bench,' pub
lished his treatise on the law of foreign attach
ment in 1811. II was the first attempt in this
country (and there had been none before that pe
riod in England) to write an elementary work on
this subject. But the task was performed with all
the care, assiduity, precision, and ability, which
have ever characterized the writings of that pro
found jurist, and his work still retains its proper
plane in the library of the Pennsylvania lawyer.
When Judge Sergeant's treatise first appeared, be
had to regret the paucity of our own decisions on
the subject. Dow mach the subject has grown in
the United States since then, may be judged from
the Not that of 1,185 cases cited in the
book before us, only eleven are English, the re.
mainder being derived from the Reports of our
Federal Courts, and those of twenty-eight out of
the thirty-one States of the Confederacy.
Cushing's treatise on the Trustee Process of
Massachusetts and Maine, and Locke on Foreign
Attachment, published in London in 1853 (the
latter being the first work that ever appeared
in England on the subject), are the only other
books in relation to this matter with which we
are acquainted. But they are all of a limited
scope in comparison with Mr. Drake's Treatise,
now before us, and the distinctive feature of his
production over those we have named consists in
the fact that he treats, not of attachment in
any one of its forms, but in all Its phases and
divlsions—Foreign and Domestic, Original, Menne,
and Final; not of the remedy, as it exists in
any one Estate in particular, but as it prevails
in all the States of the Union.
To the Bar of Pennsylvania this book will prove
of great practical value. Throughout the text the
author constantly cites the decisions in the miners
of Pennsylvania on the subject of attachments,
and we have counted in bis foot-notes upwards of
seventy oases from our own reports, the latest of
which being Yelverton v. Burton 2 Casey 351, to
the elect that property exempted by law from
levy and sale is, nevertheless, liable to a foreign
attachment In this connection the author shows
that Knabb v. Drake, 11 Harris 499, whloh de
oides that if a debtor sells property exempted by
law, the money may be afterwards attached, is
sustained by Scott v. Brigham, 27 Vermont Re
ports 561.
It is a familiar principle in equity that a oredi
tor before judgment has no status in court; but in
discussing " the effect of an attachment" our au
thor considers the question bow far an attaching
creditor, in virtue of his lien, is entitled to file a
bitt in equity to set aside a fraudulent conveyance
or ineumbrance of the attached property; and
after examining the general doctrine, as laid down
by Chancellor Kent, in 2 Johns. Ch. R. 144, be
shows that such a bill was sustained in Kentucky,
in Scott v. McMillan, 1 Littell, 302, and in New
Jersey, in Hunt v. Field, 1 Stockton, 36, over
ruling Melville v. Brown, 1 Harrison, 363, al
though denied by the Supreme Court of Missouri,
in Martin v Miohnel,l3 Missouri Rep. 00.
The view taken by Mr. Drake is, that if the
broad and undistinguishing doctrine stated by
Chancellor Kent is to undergo any modification,
It should be in favor of attaching creditors.
As our object is not to review this treatise, but
merely to take a cursory view of its character, we
have barely space left to say that our author's
treatment of " Simultaneous, Successive, Conflict
ing, and Fraudulent Attachments," in chapter
XIX ; of Garnishment, in chapter XVIII, and of
the several kindred topics treated in the Imme
diately succeeding chapters, as well as the book
generally, exhibits a power of analysis, compari
son, and reasoning, besides much painstaking in.
dustry and research, essential to every successful
attempt to write an elementary work on a subject
so diversified as this And when we add that the
book before us is no mere piece of task-work, un
dertaken for pecuniary profit to author and pub
lisher, without being demanded by the wants of
the profession, we think that we pay the work a
compliment which many Isw books of the present
day, both here and in England, cannot justly
claim.

When the Red River trains left Selkirk, about the
15th of June, the whole country was filled with

and supposition was, that another snob devasta

was once elected to the State Senate' from Walton
county, but has generally been, a tenor- to his
neighbors. He called himself the " hyena " of
West Florida. and boasted that he could whip any
man In that State. On more than one occasion he
has been seen by different persons-opening the
mail, and when he came to what be supposed a
money letter, to break it open, take its contents
and throat it in his pocket, and exclaim, "that's
mine" with an oath, and it is said he has carded
on this business for years.
