iUvdraide Editions.
Up to the present time, Boston undeniably has
surpassed all other places, < a this side of the At
lantic, in a tasteful and elegant manner of getting
up books. The superiority of English publications
has arisen from three concurring circumstances:
perfect typography, good paper, and composition
so correct that a literal error is very rare indeed.
The readers in a first-class English printing office
are educated men. Olivor Goldsmith occupied such
a position for a time. The reader on the London
Times receives an editorial salary—but has to for
feit one guinea for every typographical error, even
a turned letter, in eaob day’s impression—if he has
marhed the error on the proof, the compositor, who
neglected to correot it, pays the forfeit.
The superior elegance of Boston books has long
been admitted, The leading publishers there (Tick,
nor & Fields; Little, Brown, <fcCo.; Crosby k Nich
ols; John Bartlett; J. E. Tilton; J. Alunroe &
Co.; Walker & Wise; Brown & Taggard, &0.) have
tbo advantage of exoellont printing offices—namely,
the University Press of Welch, Bigelow, A Co.,
and that of 11. 0. Houghton, Riverside, both offices
being located in Cambridge, which, as all tha world
knows, though in a different country, is virtually a
suburb of the Trimontade City of Nations. It would
be difficult to decide whether the University Press
or the Riverside turns out the better work, but
there has been a run, for the last two or three years,
on the Riverside Press. Some of Its books are
truly superb ; we need not go beyond that hand
some illustrated imperial octavo, “ FoHc Songs,”
edited by Dr. Palmer and published by Scribner,
of Nerr York, last year, A butter got-up fancy
book bas never been produced in England. Out
side of Boston, Sheldon and Company, Neff York,
have employed tbe Riverside Press more largely
than any other publishing house. Their catalogue
of Riverside Editions of new and standard works
(for the sale of wbioh George W. Childs, 630 Chest
nut street, is agent here) includes many valuable
publications. For example, Dickens’ work#, il
lusiratril by Amerioan Darley and English Gilbert,
to he completed in fifty volumes, whereof twenty
one bare been published. This is a truly elegant
edition, equally adapted for the lady’s boudoir and
the scholar’s library. It well deserve; to be called
“ tbe Household Edition.” Next is Dean Mil man's
History of Latin Christianity, iu eight volumes,
crown octavo, much handsomer, in all respects,
than tbe English edition. Besides, like all the rest
of Mr. Sheldon's reprints, it is sold at less than half
the foreign price.
Another work, of which only the first volume,
(A—D ) bas yet appeared, is A Dictionary of
English Etymology, by Hensleigb Wedgewood,
M. A., with notes and additions by our own phi
-lolegist, the Hun. George P. Marsh, now United
States minister to Italy. Here the original text is
given entire, with the improvement of transferring
to their proper places in the body of tho work the
articles composing the appendix. Mr. Marsh’s ad
ditions consist of philological notes upon over three
huhdred words in this dictionary, and add much to
the information largely and learnedly given by Mr.
Wedgewood. The first portion, (just issued,) con
tains 217 pages imperial octavo, and two more will
complete the work, forming one volume of mode
rate size, A!! we have room to say of it, hare and
now, is that never .before has the derivation of
English words been so fully and olearly set forth.
Carlyle’s Essays, in four volumes, crown Bvo,
with new portrait and copious Index range, in this
collection, with Macaulay’s Essays, in six volumes, ;
-frith a Dew steel-plate likeness, a full index, and a
critical and biographical sketch of the author, by
E P. Whipple, the eminent Boston critic. This is
more complete than any English edition, foe it eon.
tains all the poetry and prose contributed, while at
college, to Knight's Quarterly. Magazine y all of
bis Edinburgh Review articles (including four not
previously collected), and bis lares of Atwrbury,
Bunyan, Goldsmith, Johnson, and Pitt, from the
new edition of the Encyclopedia. Britannica.
Here, too, complete in ten volumes, with the au
thor’s last reyisioDs and corrections, are the Wri
tings of Henry Hallam—-viz., Middle Ages, Intro*
Auction to the Literary History of Europe, and
Consiitntiotial History of England to the Death of
George 11, and, os a pendant to the last-named
work, which it continues from 1760 to 1860, is May’s
Constitutional History, tracing tbe progress and
development of the British Constitution during an
entire century. Of this the second volume has not
yet been published in England. %
The Rot. T* Starr King’s ornate volume, small
4to, on the legends, landscapes, and poetry of the
White Hills, with illustrations, also has the River
side mark.
Edited by 0. W. Wight-, of Brooklyn, are the
oomplete worts of Montaigne, the famous frendh
Essayist, in four volumes, with Pascal’s Thoughts
and Provincial Letters, new translations, each in
one volume. A dainty book, too. in a single
volume, ia Isaak Walton’s Lives, with illustrated
notes, and some account of the quaint old angler.
The new edition of the Complete Works of Francis
Bacon, in fifteen volumes, edited by Spedding,
Ellis, and Heath, all of Trinity College, Cambridge,
is also os Mr. Sheldon's list. Eight volumes have
appeared, and the monthly issue will now be regu
lar. Wb must not omit Bacon’s great contemporary,
Shakspeare, of whom there is an eight-volume edi
tion, with glossarial and other notes, by Knight,
Dyce, Dorice, Collier, Halliwell, Hunter, and
Kicbardson.
Burton, D’lsraeli, and Lamb may suitably stand
together. Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy, in
Which Ife? CteiCftl quotations are translated,
figures here in three volumes crown 3ro.,but there
is a splendid edition, in royal octavo, of which only
seven y-five copies have been printed, which the
fanciers of large paper cop es will scramble for,
quite sumptuous in size, print, paper, and half
Roxburgh binding. The Curiosities of Literature,
with a Life of old Isaac D’israeli, by his states
man-author son, is in four volumes, and few books
are more readable. Lastly, Charles Lamb, also in
four volumes, concludes and completes this last.
The Essays of Elia, separate, in one volume, or all
bis writings, with his Life, Letters, and Final Me
morials, by Talfourd, the whole in four volumes.
Of Modern Essayists, stuttering Charles Lamb Is
most genial and gifted.
Here closes our catalogue raisonni of the Ri
verside editions. They exhibit, better than any
thing else, the modern improvements in American
hookmaking.
Publications Received.
Messrs. Martien, 606 Chestnut street, have pub
lished A small volume Worthy of having numerous
juvenile readers. It is “ The Boy Friend; or All
Can Help,” by Aunt Friendly. It is a home-tale,
full of incident and character, gently rounded off
with a moral,
The new number of the Princeton Review, edi
ted by tbe Rev. Dr. Hodge, contains two papers of
more than average merit. The first is entitled
‘■Remarks on,the Ethical Philosophy the Chi
nese,” and the other, on “ The History and Theory of
Revolutions, as applied ta the present Southern Re
bellion,” is so well argued and patriotio that it
has been separately printed and should be dis
tributed largely throughout the country. Tt is
well-timed and well-written. It is published by
Messrs. Martien.
Dr. Henry Barnard, of Hartford, who has done
more to advance, improve, and simplify education
then any other living man, has just commenoed a
new series of his quarterly American Journal of
Education. Like tbe former series, it will be en
riched with fino portraits and other engravings, and
also like that, is intended to run through five years.
The new number contains a great deal of informa
tion, and, weshould think, ought to circulate large
ly among teachers. J. B. Lippincott A Co. are
the agents here.
Mr. George d. Becker, writing-master at Girard
College, has published a little Treatise on the
Theory and Praetice of Teaching Penmanship, as
an assistant to teachers as well as pupils. We also
have two numbers of Mr. Becker’s System of Pen
manship. Ho understands his subject. To his sys
tem of shading letters it may he objected that it
cheeks the practice of running-hand, the most use
ful of all Writing
For Military Works there must still be a large
demand, for the sapplies increase. From J. B.
Lippincott and Co., who nearly monopolize the
war-publication line here, we have a “ Summary
of tbe Art of War; written expressly for and da>
dicated to the United States Volunteer Army,” by
Emil Schalk, A. 0.” It is a practical rather than
a preoise treatise on tbe art of war, largely illus
trated with maps, plans, and diagrams. We took
It up to ascertain what manner of book St was, and
did not part with it until we had read it through.
From Messrs. Lippincott we also have, pnblished
by Van Nostrand, New York, tbe following books;
1. 11 Course of Instruct ion In Ordnanoe and Gun

Professor 'Botta’s Discourse on the Life, Cha
racter, and Policy of Count Cavour,” published by
a. p. Pgtppgi, gives what seems to be a fair sum
mary end just estimate of the life and motives of
the great Italian. It has the defect, however, of
being twice as long as a lecture ought to be. Re*
ccived from J. MoFarlan, 33 South Sixth street.
“The Charmings,” Mtb. Henry Wood'a new
novel, is published, this day, by Peterson and
Brothers.
Purino the temporary absence of Vico
President Hamlin, Hon. Solomon Foot, of
Vermont, acts as the presiding officer of the
Senate. His promptitude, fairness, and tho
rough experience in that difficult position,
challenge universal admiration. The follow
ing glorious tribute to this veteran statesman
appears in tho Burlington (Vt.) Daily Times
of the 14th:
Senator Foot’s term expires on tbe 4th of March
next. The choice of his sucocssor is already being
agitated by the State press in a manner which im
plies that some new man may be elected. It is in
timated that Senator Foot will serve no longer. We
do not believe it. It is also intimated that there
are several other gentlemen who would be very
glad to become Senator. We believe this ; the
office of United States Senator docs not go a begging
in any State —very often. There are men in our
State who would make good Senators, but none
who would be so capable, efficient, and influential
as Mr. Foot; therefore, none of them ought to be
elected.
In the choice of Senator the best interests of the
whole country, and of Vermont especially, are only
worthy of consideration. That A, B, or 0, wantß
the Senatorship is not a valid claim; that Mr. Foot
has been Senator for two terms, is not an objec
tion to Lim; but that be has made a good Senator
is tbe best reason for his being kept iuthe position.
It needs little forecast to anticipate the work of
Congress during the next few years. It will be
novel, delicate, and ODerous. New questions, in
volving the well-being of the country, will be
continually coming up* We are in a transition
period now. Grand opportunities are offered to
our statesmen. Graver responsibilities rest on
them than on any men of this generation. Shall
these be committed to tbe hands of new
men, unacquainted with the methods of doing Che .
work, snd not acquainted with their 06-la
laborers ? Would it be thought discreet for a cor
poration, in a most critical and dangerous state, to
change its officers, installing new and untried men
in the place of these who were experienced, able,
and successful ? It is obvious that the interests of
the country will be best promoted by the continu-' -
anee in Congress of all those men who are fit to be
there at all. They have acquired a knowledge of
the business of legislation, which is indispensable,
and which will make even the man of inferior
talent the better candidate for legislator. But, in
this case, the Senator is eminently distinguished for
his capacity for the position, to which now are su
peradded long experience, acquaintance with other
legislators, and the confidence and influence which
tinge qualifications inspire in others.
The special interests of Vermont will be furthered
by the re-election of Mr. Foot. Our State is little
and inland. Its position in Congress must be de
termined more by the character, ability, and in
fluence of its representatives than by anything elss.
Tbe State itself, in comparison with tbe large ones,
can not obtain and wield any great degree of in
fluence ; yet, by the character of Us Senators, it
has at present a sway in the national councils not
surpassed probably by any other State. Shall it be
taken from this proud position by any act of iU
own ? Senator Foot has, we are sure, been a watch
ful and faithful representative of the State He
has been accessible to his constituents and very
willing to serve them to the full extent of his
ability.
But a single reason can be offered for his removal,
that he has been in the Senate two terms. This is
the bm reason for his remaining. The duties of a
legislator can not be assumed and well performed by
an, new man This business bas to be learned like
an, other. He who has served as apprenticeship
and becomes a good workman is better than a green
apprentice when so difficult work is to be done as
we now have reason to anticipate. The rotatory
system is “based on a basele sbasis.” Itiseb-
Doxiuoß in ordinary peaceful times; it should be re
jected now. The claims of any man to office ought
to yield to the paramount claims of the country.
The people of Vermont win agree in this, we be
lieve. For Senator, Solomon Foot.

The Men who Fell in Baltimore.
BY JOHH W. FORHBY.
Our country’s call awoke the land
From mountain height to ocean strand.
The Old Keystone, the Bay State, too,
In all her direst dangers true,
Resolved to answer to her cry,
For her to bleed, for her to die;
And so they marched, their flag before,
For Washington, through Baltimore.
Our men from Berks and Schuylkill came—
Lehigh and Mifflin in their train;
First in the field, they sought the way,
Hearts beating high and spirits gay;
Heard the wild yells of fiendish spite,
Of armed mobs on left and right;
But on they marched, their flag before,
For Washington, through Baltimore.
Hext came the Maasachusetts men,
Gathered from city, glade, and glen:
Ho hate for South, but love for all,
They answered to their country’s call.
The path to them seemed broad and bright.
They sought no foeman and no fight;
As on they marched, their flag before,
Hew England’s braves through Baltimore.
But when they showed their martial pride,
And alds&d their glittering columns wide,
They found their welcome in the fire
Of maddened foes and demons dire,
Who, like the fiends from hell sent forth,
Attacked these heroes of the North:
These heroes bold, with travel sore,
While on their way through Baltimore.
From every stifling den and street,
They rushed the gallant band to meet—
Forgot the cause they eame to save—
Forgot that these they struck were brave—
Forgot the dearest ties of blood
That bound them in one brotherhood—
Forgot the flag that floated o’er
Their countrymen In Baltimore.
An d the great song their son had penned.
To rally freemen to defend
The banner of the stripes and stars,
That makes victorious all our wars,
Was laughed to soorn, as madly then
They greeted all the gallant men
Who came from Massachusetts shore
To Washington* through Baltimore.
And when, with wildest grief, at last,
They saw their comrades falling last,
Full on the hell-hounds in their track,
They wheeled, and drove the coward? back,
Then, with their hearts overwhelmed with woe*
Measured their progress, stern and slow;
Their wounded on their shoulders bore
To Washington, through Baltimore.
Vet, while New England mourns her dead,
The blood by Treason foully shed,
Like that which flowed at Lexington,
When Freedom's earliest fight begun,
Will make the day* the month* the year,
To every patriot’s memory dear.
Bens of great fathers gone before,
They fell for Right at Baltimore!
As over every honored grave,
Where sleeps the “ unreturning brave,”
A mother sofa, a young wife moans,
A father for his lost one groans,
Oh! let the people ne'er forget
Our deep, enduring, lasting debt
To those who left their native shore
And died for us in Baltimore.

The French steamer Gassendi is still at Norfolk,

cure tho safety of the tobacco purchased by the Frensh
Government.
At intervals, last night and this morning, heavy can
nonading could be heard in the direction of Yorktown.
A party ef deserters who came into our lines reported
the arrival of Jeff Davis in tho rebel camp, and that it
was understood that ho would take the command in tbs
approaching battle. They represent the enemy to be iu
great force, and the work of entrenching progressing
throughout the peninsula.
Reinforcements were constantly arriving from Nor
folk, Fredericksburg, and even from North Carolina, and
the rebel generals openly declare the intention to make
this the great battle of the war, and the strongest convic
tion ib expressed of a triumph over the Federal forces,
and driving them from the peninsula.
There is almost constant skirmishing going on by tho
riflemen, and occasionally shot and shell are thrown with
great rapidity.
Just as I close this letter, I learn that there was quite

House, on the James river, tho enemy attempting to turn

On tbe morning Of the 10th, General Gilmore sent a
flag of truce to the fort, demandfgg jfe unconditional
surrender. Colonel OJmstead replied that he was placed
there to defend, not to surrender, the fort; whereupon
our batteries immediately opened fire. A few rounds shot
away tbtir flag, but it was replaced, and the firing was
kept up till gurnet: General Gilmore then placed a bat

Graphic Description of the Preparations
J. B Hawley, formerly editor of tte Hartford Press,
but HOW ft ear.tain in 6KS 6f the Connecticut regiments on
Georgian coast, sends to The Press the following de
scription of the Federal batteries that have forced the
rebels in Fort Pulaski to surrender. The description
was written before the bombardment commenced. Our
troops Vicinity, who erected the batteries, labored
under many disadvantages, and the labor performed was
almost as ontrous as that performed at Island No. 10. A
vivid conception of the opening scene in the grand
tragedy will be obtained from the account:
The Connecticut Seventh will have the most delicate
and responsible work—the charge of the mortars, twelve
13*iuch and four IQ-inch. The eighteen officers who are
to have charge of the six batteries—three at each, re
lieving each other at intervals of eight hours—aud the
forty-eight gunners, and about 375 canuouiers, fillers of
shtU, magazine men, &c., have all been selected, 'the
gUMIbTB illlVl- bfeCfi drilled ftl ft fii6?tAr several days by
Lieutenant Porter* U. 8. A., and he and Gen. Gilman
ex piess great delight at the readiness witu which our
Yankee mtebanics comprehend the whole science of the
great mortars. * # * # *
The work is driving at all possible speed. All our
heavy teams and mul* carls work eight?? B hours a (lay*
Uriviug from half a mile 10 two miles oa a sandy road
with great loads of shoe aud shell. The beach is strewn
with all ihe implements of war; and day aud night,
takiDg all advantages of wind and .ide, boats are tugging
back and forward dumping their shot aud shell into the
water at high tide, and as the wacer recodes the bo> s
Wkd& iii aiiii toll them up iuio carts »nd wagons. Up to
the more distant batteries (nearest Pulaski) parties of
men go before daylight with a day’s food, aud dig or fill
shot, Ac , Quietly behind the low r sandhills—not over ten
feet fehelter— all day, and silently file along down the
earrw strip bvtwsen the beach aud the marsh, after
dark, meeting other parties who go up to work all night.
These 13- inch mortars weigh 17,000 pounds, or 6,000
more than any ever used before, and are different in
several respects.
1 long to have the fight begin, and eud, for the first
gun will be a relief. This strain of anticipation is al
most as painful (more sc, in seme ngpecte) As the con
test itself.
We hope to give, soon, a sketch of the batteries.
They are first, nearest Pulaski, battory Totten, fonr
10-inch mortars, about 1,660 yards from Pulaski, under
charge of Captains Rodman and Gray; then battery
Hallcck, two mortar,, (ftps, find fill the following HO
ia*inch) 2,2t0 yards, CapiainSanford; battery Shsrwin,
three mortars, 2,400 yardß, Captain Francis; battery
Burnside, one mortar, Captain Skiuner; battery Lincoln,
colmubiad, Ac., 3,200 yards, by Third Rhode Island;
battery Grant, three martare, 3,400 yards, Captain
P»lmer; and battery ftrOO IWrtMli Captain
Bacon. These batteries were to be supervised by the
colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major of the Seventh, on
d uty eight hours each. 1
1 he sand on most of the batteries, especially Burnside
and Sherman, cannot be thrown up sufficiently to cover
the lUßgoziDeo trad raise the parapets or epaalmeats* until
the night before the fire opens, That will be a busy
time. As daylight approaches, the mortars will be load
ed, aud carefully pointed. Our men at Goat’s Point will
lUten carefully to the drums of Pulaski’s reveille. The
moment after it stops, when all the men there will pro*
bnbly be drawn up irfthe open area of tho fort, atiegdifig
to roll-call- a gnu from Goat’s Point will lead the way,
and the whole thirty-four pieces, mortars and all, will
fire, and our guns At the Blartello Tower and up the
river on Jones and Bird Islands all will bellow together
—the latter for “ moral effect.” Ob, the grandeur of
that thunder 1
It will ihttfte (1)9 iilwitfs about, as 3.899 pounds or iron
roar, hiss, ana rush through the air for half a minute ou
their merciless errand. Then the rolling, echoing thun
der will be reinforced by the bursting of sixteen mortar
shells. These we hope to burst in the silver the fort.
The columbiads and Parrotts will most of them lire shells
also, and the great tbugder will last two or three mi
nutes. in some conditions of the wind and atmosphere,
the report of a big gun rolls along the shore for halt a
minute or mere. Then the work will be taken up steadily.
The 13-inchors will be fired by the watch, four times an
hour: the 10-inchers six times; the columbiads, James,
and r.rrolli Irom fire to ten timea. bi occaaion may
offer.
Each mortar is in a sort of pit. In front the sand
rises from nine to fifteen feet, the fort being aim id at
by means of stakes. Ditches four to six feet deep, with
tbediit thrown upon either side, run from one mortar
to another* aud to the magazine. The magazine is a
low-roofed cellar, covered by eight or ten feet of stud,
and each now packed full of barrels of powder. The
entiance is crooked, so that bursting shells outside may
notendargtr the powder. In the ante-room stay several
»* fillers,” who scoop out powder from a single barrel at
a putting from twelve to eighteen pounds in a flan
nel hag foi the cartridge, and taking eight pounds to
pour into A shell outside. The slitl! is then firmly
stopped by a plrg with a pith of composition that burns

Speaking of the barbette guns of Fort Pulaski, it is con
fidently believed that they will be rilfneed very soon. In
the first place, solid shot will be pitched at them from
Goat’s Point; secondly, the columbiads and ten-inch mot
tare will try to explode their shells in the air above them;
and, thirdly, onr thirteen-inch shells will constantly be
bursting all about them. If we aim well, no bravery on
earth can work those guns an hour in the open air on the
top of high walls" '

him for the purpose of aiding 11 & society established
for the relief of our sick, wounded, and discharged
crippled soldiers,” who have been mustered out of
service on account of sickness, Ac., Ac. With this
view he designs sslehuting the 7th of May at th©
Academy of Music, by distributing “ crosses of
honor and medals of merit” to the most deserving
of the first battalion of Philadelphia Cadets.
This is a most praiseworthy object, hut as there
are so many benevolent enterprise on fret DOW for
similar purposes we would suggest that the Profes
sor advise the public what proportion of the re
ceipts are to be appropriated to this object.
In thiß connection, it might not be amiss for him
to ssy wbat may constitute merit and profioienoy
in the cadets, as it is not always the sons of thoso
ift li position” who are entitled 4# wear gold Jaoe.
