A History ' or the Byron oontroversy, from its bet. pinning in ISIS to the present ttme..SY Harriet Beecher Stowe. PahUntied by Fields, Oagood a ON, Plttshltrih• So mach has been written upon the Byron controyersy, and so divan the criticisms, that it is hardly worth while to previa the salient points of the di.. mission. Startling u the charges were at the tine Mrs. Stowe's first article up. peered, criticsgenerally raised points as to the propriety and motives of this dia. tingaished author, without attempting to prove they were false. Byron moot well be defended by even his greatest ad• mixers, and few will oondemn the course of Lady Byron in leaving him. The evil that has been done by his poetry renders him unworthy of defense. The simple fact that Hrs. Stowe, an a woman, has uncovered the guilt of Byron for reasons which she thought to be sufficient, her fair name sad reputation is ipreationed, which is certainly not la keeping with the advanced pristine' accorded to the sex.

The tertile_pen of this lady author is so well known, and her worts have been so widely read, that but little need be said in commendation of this work.

These essays are designed to elucidate the science of Political Economy, while serving to explain and defend the policy of Protection to Home Industry, ea a MUM of National co-operation for the elevation of labor. The style of Mr. Greeley is simple, lucid and strong. His writings hear the impress of honesty of purpose and sindeuity of heart, and homely and grail& as they may appear In comparison with the artistic—philosophi• cal style of some writers, iet hispractical common sense views of things comsat be questioned, and make him a favorite. The questions are treated In an able man ner, and challenge the dissent of those holding opposite opinions. 'These essays were warmly 'commended when they first appeared In separate papers, and widely read, too, and in the present form will be more wmciated.' htna. Grassn'a Ina& A Novel.

"Beast, Bird and Fish," and "The Andes and the Amazon," both profusely illustrated articles, treat of sub ject, absorbing and instructive. Ths latter gives the reader a capital idea of the work. just issued by the Harpers. The next paper "Sauntering. in England," is I well prepared and quite readable. The briefer articles "The Consequence," "Mirabeth," "Along the Wires," "A Promise as Promise," will repay read ing. "Paraguay and Her Enemies" will attrs'tt notice, and the lovers of literature will enjoy "Mary Russell Mitford." The serial "A Brave Lady" is as absorbing as ever, We call special attention to the new department "Scientific Record," a valuable addition. Lirrincorr contains several substan tial papas, that will be highly relished by some classes. There is however vari ety enough to suit all 'tutu. The install menu of "The Vicar of Bullhampton" are rendered additionally attractive by the illustrations. The paper on "The Penn Friends" should command interest, as a historical contribution of a national character. The paper on Wells' Report will provoke diverse opinions, notwith standing its careful preparation and bold utterances. The tribute to litaaton Is not over drawn, indeed, hardly does him jos. I tree, as we are wont to regard him. The short articles "Match-making," "Under False Colors" "High Life," and poems are quite readable. "Our Monthly Gos sip" is gossippy. 77is Atlantis Monthly first presents. an installment of "Joseph and his Friend," then follows, "The Pressure upon Con- great," an article of snap, scalpel-like, which lays open some evils that beset the capital. 'Quaff" is spicy, while "The Value of an Accident" and "Father Me : del's Bell," are of a taking character, short and pithy. "The Street-cries of New York," loses Its common place char acter in the information It codeine Like all the papers of the author of "Life in the Brick Moon," this is sparkling. The eulogy on Edwin. H. Stanton is worthy of the great war minister, and not too highly colored. The literary notices, as nasal, are able and discriminating. Hours at Hoes always has something high toned and of a moral type. The first article "The Literature of Sunday Schools" is of this class. Installments of the "Hero," and "Campton Friars," possess the usual attractions. Froude's "Mary Queen of Scotts," and "Queen Elizabeth." is worth reading, and many will enjoy "Yale College One Hundred Years ago." Just now the commercial world is directed to the "Darien•Canal," which renders this article opportune. The poetry, "The Ministry of Beauty," and "Praying Always." is beautiful. The editorial department sustains the ex cellencies of previous numbers. The Galaxy, devoted nearly twenty pages to "Put Yourself in his Place." Reed's readable article. A short article, "Exprasions," is m:ceded by a rich and racy account of "Brigham Young," Rose Terry gives us a real juicy paper, entitled "Polly Miner, Tailoress " "Ten years In Rome" cannot fall to be l'ead with lutenist by these Rome Ecuminical time. Few thal like a stirring article will pass "The . Oyer soul of Manse Rosebrirgli." For solid Instruction read "Ventilation and. Warning." By all means read "Letters 'from Hanna," and "An Editor's Tales," Departments, as usual, are good aid readable. Putnam for this. month, like Its pre vious numbers, is brim full of good things. The first article, "A Woman Rights," will find plenty readers, while the thottghfalwill =fully read"Vlrgiala, Old and New." Brief as "Ben, and "Father Hyacinthe, predecessers" they are worth reading, and the mine may be add of. "Charlotte." The papers on "American Railway traveling, " contains thoughts and suggestions timely and worthy of at tention. The remaining articles.ere short and striking. Much might be said in praise of the edited departments.' Golden, Hour., published In Cincinnati, during its brief existence, hex acquired quite a reputation for the excellency of its articles and elegant illurtrattons. It is a magilitine for boys and girls, and contains nothing tkat will offend goad morals. The articles are well adapted for young people, and while they interest they also are &source of instruction. This West ern enterprise deserves to be encouraged, u it will be. Our Young Folks, as usual, Is full of taking articles, and many of them are of the most practical sort, though woven in story form. With such • writers es Col.

Tho North -American Nevin" for Jan. airy, 1870, published by Fields, Osgood & Co., commences a new volume. The papers, four in number, are ot a enpertor literary character, and, contain matter worthy of its well earned fame. "An Ancient Creed," or "The Ecclesiastical Crisis In England," are worth reading, and throw a flood of life from these top ics. The paper 'Sanwa) , Problem in 1889," contains food for the monied and commercial portion of our readira. This paper as the "Treasury Reports," ought to command attention tor the points rib. ed.
