New Books from Boston.
Want of Spade compels us to make mere mention
of several ae#'099.140 which we would fain notice at
length.
Ticknor 4 Fields hare brought out a beautiful
edition, square 12mo, on tinted paper, of "In
Memoriam)! the fem....hal:tie aeries of poems in
which Tennyson , poured out his laments over the
untimely death 'if his friend Arthur Henry Hat
hull son of She Weritilt, portraits of the poet and
his friend are Oren, and a memoir of the latter.
In another volimii of theirs, " Spare Hours," by
Dr. John Brown, of Edinburgh, author of that
wonderfully llniqkotch l! Rab sad his Frientle, l !
we find a longer notice of young Hallam, and of his

Charles Dickens.
Charles Dickens, whose publishers pride them
selves on having brought out three different edi

has been astonished; ere this, we r 132111114, ky
the information that T. B. Peterson dr, Brothers, of
this city, have brought out twenty-nine. This is
the fact, and while it illustrates the popularity er
" Bee," no less shows the enterprise of Peterson.
Truly is it declared that no library can be consi
dered complete Without a set of Dickens. His works
are as essential to the mind, fur pleasure and in•
sanction, as the Waverley Novels themselves,
and, we suspect, are much more generally read.
The &lest edition, no doubt, is the People's 12m0.,
now complete in thirty volumes, with all the oel6l
- illustrations. There also are octavo editions,
and the price of Dickens, complete, ranges from
eight dollars to twentrfive dollars. This variation
arises partly from difference of else and from the
number of engravings, and partly from difference
of binding. Peterson puts up acts in various
styles, from neat black cloth to full calf antique, or
with gilt edges, at ninety dollars. But, where
money is an object, we recommend the library Bvo.
edition, published in seven different styles, at from
ten &Manz and M x coats to twenty-one dollars for
the whole of Dickens. Over fifty thousand dollars,
at the least, has been expended by Messrs. Peter

tion, stereosyping, and engraving. This is wholly
irrespective of the outlay for paper,,printing, bind

say, they have turned over about slso,eua on as-

back to them in their sales. They supply any edi
