I am proud and delighted to have him for a neighbor." The chum and wife were most cordial in their greeting; they evidently were delighted to receive so distinguished a man; they had long admired him with enthusiasm. Breakfast was served. The most célèbre sauteur, feeling quite out of his element, said little. Everybody paid him, nevertheless, the most marked attention, and after the cloth was removed, the mistress of the house said to him, with her most gracious smile: "Will you not deign to give us some taste of your talents?" He answered: "It has been a long time, ma'am, since I was in practice; but if you wish it, I am at your orders." He rose. There was a dead silence. He gave a bound, and the next instant he had hold of the iron rod to which the table-lamp was suspended from the ceiling, and was turning summersaults between the ceiling and the table, to the stupefaction of everybody but his friend. The chum ran up to his friend, and asked in a whisper: "Why, whom in the deuce have you brought us?" "Whom? Why, Auriol, the clown of the circus. Did you not recognize him?" "Good gracious, no! You said the most célèbre auteur of France, and we all made sure 'twas Lamartine." G. S.

NOTES ON BOOKS AND BOOKSELLERS. MR. J. WHITAKER, editor and proprietor of the "London Bookseller," is now on a visit to this country, partly on business and partly for pleasure. Mr. Whitaker is a gentleman of intelligence and energy, and is well known to the trade throughout the States as the publisher of the "Bookseller," a journal of influence and great usefulness to all who read or handle books. We trust his visit may prove profitable and pleasant.

M. DOOLADY, New York, has issued a prospectus of Simson's History of the Gypsies, with Specimens of their Language.

Mr. John Russell Bartlett's new bibliographical work on the literature of the rebellion makes no acknowledgments to any of the gentlemen who furnished him with materials. One of these, S. Hastings Grant, Esq., at that time Librarian of the New York Mercantile Library, contributed several hundred titles.

R. W. EMERSON.-The entire works of Mr. Emerson, complete in two volumes, are the next to appear in Bohn's Standard Library.

BAYARD TAYLOR.-Reviewing "The Story of Kennett," the "London Athenæum" says, "Mr. Bayard Taylor has written a story that will please his fellow-countrymen by its associations, and strangers by its intrinsic merit."

AMERICAN SUBJECTS.-In an English literary jour nal we see advertised, "The Naturalist in British Columbia and Vancouver's Island, by John Keast Lord, F. Z. S., late Naturalist to the British North American Boundary Commission," in two volumes, richly illustrated, followed by " After the Storm; or, Brother Jonathan and his Neighbors in 1865-266, by J. E. H. Skinner, Barrister-at-Law, author of "The Tale of Danish Heroism,'" also in two volumes.

Life of BeethoVEN.-Mr. Thayer, who is now U. S. Consul at Trieste, writes from that place: "I have had the first part of my manuscript Life of Beethoven translated into German, and it is in the hands of the printer. I have already had good reason to be pleased at having adopted this course, since my translator, who resides in Bonn, has been able to follow up my researches there, and discov ered some valuable additions to my own materials, which my removal to this place, and confinement here by official duties, would have prevented me On the 1st of July the firm of Scribner & Co. will from doing myself.

The same house will also publish the Code of Practice in the Civil Cases for the State of Louisiana, with statutory amendments during the same period, as mentioned above, and also containing references to the decisions of the Supreme Court of the State, edited and compiled by the same gentleman. These works will be most valuable additions to the libraries

PEACOCK, THE NOVELIST.-The late Thomas Love Peacock, who died not long ago, held a lucrative office in the India House, London, for many years, and there made the acquaintance of Charles Lamb, with whom a great friendship eventually sprang up. Mr. Peacock wrote several peculiar novels ("Headlong Hall," "Crotchet Castle," &c.) full of startling paradoxes, saucy satire, and sensible

There were also sold many letters written to him by P. B. Shelley, the poet, many of which have never been printed.

LITERARY PROPERTY.-During the last few weeks there have been curious and considerable sales of valuable literary and artistical property in London. Among these was a collection of Shakspearian literature, including Shakspeare's Works, the rare First Folio 1623, also the Second Edition-most of the Standard Modern Editions-" Rape of Lucrece," 1624-very numerous interesting Articles in Shakspearian Criticism and Illustration-Rare Plays of

the 16th and 17th Centuries-W. H. Ireland's own

Collections relative to the Shakspeare Forgeries, with the "Confessions" in his own handwriting also the autograph letters, manuscripts, &c. formed, many years ago, by Sir John Fenn, editor of "The Paston Letters," comprising Deeds and Charters, Royal, Noble, and Conventual, from a period slightly subsequent to the Conquest to the Fifteenth Century, one of which is signed (formá crucis) by King Stephen, Matilda his Queen, and Eustachius his Sou (A. D. 1137)-fine Armorial and other Seals-very numerous and highlyimportant Rolls and other Records, consisting of Domestic Accounts, Inventories, Terriers, Rentals, Court Rolls, &c., from an early date, and particularly illustrative of the Counties of Suffolk and Norfolk. The Autograph Letters and Historical Documents comprise numerous Important Papers from Henry the Eighth to the last Century, and present examples of the Autograph of Royal, Noble, and Illustrious Persons-Eighteen highly-important Proclamations, Diplomatic Instructions, Letters, and other Documents, all bearing the SignManual of Queen Elizabeth, &c. Lastly, a fine collection of engravings from the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, wanting, it is believed, but eleven to complete the entire number, chiefly in the finest proof states. It includes 'Mrs. Pelham Feeding Chickens," "Mrs. Siddons in the Tragic Muse," "Oliver Goldsmith," &c. &c., and a unique series of the only six proofs ever taken from the plate of Miss Kemble, by Jones, which was accidentally destroyed.

THE success achieved by the author of "Ecce Homo," says an English journal, is still further attested by the announcement of the eighth edition of that extraordinary work. The public curiosity concerning the writer has by no means subsided, but there is no apparent probability that it will be gratified.

SHERIDAN KNOWLES.-There was lately produced at the Strand Theatre, London, a posthumous play, by the author of "The Hunchback," bearing the title of "Alexina, or True to Death." The play was successful, but Mr. R. Brinsley Knowles, son of the dramatist, has published a letter in "The Times," stating "it is simply the dialogue of a ballad opera which my father wrote many years ago for Messrs. Cramer, Addison, and Beale, with the songs omitted.” He adds that it is thus not at all to be judged by the same standard as the dramatic works by which Sheridan Knowles won his reputation, nor is its success to be regarded by modern playgoers as a sample of his power to awaken the sympathies of an audience. It is claimed that it is uphill work for a company and management "to render interesting & work which was put upon the stage with only half the attractions designed by its author." "The Times," taking the Knowles side of the question, says: "Alexina,' which shows how a Russian noble, forgetting all distinctions of rank, marries, out of gratitude, a female serf, who, waiting at a secluded inn kept by cut-throats, saves his life by warning him against the machinations of the landlord, and when he is pursued by the marauder to a friend's house, makes a still more desperate but successful attempt to preserve him by taking his place on a couch, is evidently made up of two or three of those old-fashioned robber dramas which have long passed out of date, but which Mr. Knowles clearly thought were good enough to furnish material for libretti. The blank verse in which the dialogue is written, and the quasi-Elizabethan tone which is infused into the phraseology, give a certain elevation to very commonplace incidents and characters, and there are many passages, especially on the subject of love and its transcendent power, which are strongly marked with the stamp of Knowles. Still, the vestiges of what may be called the old Coburg quality are not to be effaced from the body of the piece, which, as it stands, has not even the practical merit of giving one effective character to a single member of the company." To this Cramer & Co. have replied: "Perhaps Mr. R.

B. Knowles never saw the original manuscript of the drama in question. If he had, he would have been aware that the few scattered songs introduced by the author had nothing whatever to do with the play as a play, and in point of fact, as we can show from Mr. Sheridan Knowles' own letters, they were added after the drama was written. So little lyrical, indeed, was 'Alexina,' that the late Vincent Wallace, to whom we proposed it for operatic purposes, strongly urged its being kept as a play, properly so called; for, although he admired the writing excessively, he felt and said that it was not lyrical in shape at all. It was in consequence of this opinion that we have kept back the drama until now, nor would we have authorized its production at all had we not been assured that it possessed merit sufficient to be classed with. many of its author's other dramatic works."

THE ROMANS IN IRELAND.-It has long been asserted by Irish historians, and eagerly accepted by the Irish people, that the Romans never obtained any foothold in the "Emerald Isle." At a recent meeting of the Ethnological Society of London, Mr. Wright, the well-known archæologist and antiquarian, read a paper "On the Intercourse of the Romans with Ireland." He considered it could be hardly doubted that the Romans did invade, and, in their view of the case, subdue Ireland; and that The play has been published, and appears to there must have been a close intercourse between be a poor performance on the hackneyed subject of Britain and Ireland he argued from the direction the peril of a traveller from an innkeeper and his and importance of the Watling Street, which ran wife, in league with banditti, and his rescue by the from Richborough, through the heart of the island, intervention of a devoted woman. It is printed on across North Wales to a Roman town, Segontium, tinted paper, with a portrait of Knowles, from a on the shores of the Menai Straits. Two other photograph taken a few days before his death, and roads also led to Segontium. At Holyhead the is rather dear at half a crown.

FIRST PUBLICATION OF ROBINSON CRUSOE.-In con- that time prided himself upon never permitting an nection with the article on Robinson Crusoe, pub- indifferent impression to leave his premises, 184 lished some time since in the Gazette, the following Tottenham-Court Road, London. He has retired is extracted from H. G. Bohu's new edition of from business, and it has been announced that his "Lowndes' Bibliographer's Manual," Part III., 1858, unique collection of artist's proofs, comprising the p. 613. "Lowndes [first edition] says Robinson rarest and best works of great painters during a Crusoe first appeared in a periodical publication, period of over fifty years, will be brought to the entitled 'The Original London Post, or Heathcote's hammer. Among them will be found a unique Intelligence,' from No. 125 to No. 289, inclusively; the latter dated 7th October, 1719. But this is an error, copied from Dibdin's Library Companion,' p. 607, and repeated since by the compilers of the 'Grenville Catalogue' and other bibliographers. The following is the correct statement: The FIRST VOLUME of Robinson Crusoe was published in 8vo., 1719, &c." See what follows in Bohn's Lowndes, ut supra.

THOMAS MOORE'S LYRICS.-For over twenty years Thomas Moore, the poet, received five hundred pounds a year-say fifty thousand dollars in allfrom James Power, an Irish music-publisher whose place of business was a very small shop in the Strand, London. The consideration was that Moore should give Power certain lyrics, which are now known as "Irish Melodies," "Sacred Sougs," "Harmonized Airs,"" National Melodies," &c. In many instances the music was harmonized by Moore himself, who had some taste as an arranger, but difficult music was transferred to Sir John Stevenson, an Irish composer, and finally to Sir Henry R. Bishop. "The Last Rose of Summer," which forms the prevailing melody in the German opera of "Martha," by Flotow, is an example of Moore's ingenuity. It is simply the old air of "The Groves of Blarney," slightly altered, and with an adagio instead of an allegretto movement. We notice that, among the auction sales lately advertised in London, was the whole stock of Moore's musical works, and the stereotype of the whole. As yet, it has been impossible for us to ascertain and report what sum was realized by this transfer of literary property.

THE LATE JOHN LEECH.-A further portion of the original sketches by the great comic illustrator of "Punch" have been auctioned off in London, and had previously been exhibited at the residence of his sisters, the Misses Leech, comprising many of the most celebrated Political Cartoons, Mr. Briggs, and other Designs for Punch-Pictures of Life and

Character-Punch's Almanac and Pocket Book-
Social Miseries-Brookgreen Volunteer-Children
of the Mobility-the Rising Generation-Handley
Cross; and other publications.

NATURE AND ART.-This is the name of a shilling magazine, the first number of which has just appeared in London. It is beautifully illustrated in colors after designs by eminent artists.

SIGNBOARDS.-Mr. J. C. Hotten, of London, publisher of many, and author of some curious books, announces as nearly ready, "The History of Signboards," which, he says, has grown to nearly 600 pages of curious anecdotes, with 100 pictures of Old Signs.

VENICE, BY AN AMERICAN.-The "London Athenæum" speaks highly of "Venetian Life," by William D. Howells, U. S. Consul at the "City of the Sea," but doubts his ability to estimate matters of Art, and does not rank his work nearly as high as Mr. Story's "Roba di Roma," one of the best studies of an Italian city ever made.

set of Turner's England and Wales, consisting of etchings and finished states of each plate-also perfect sets of Turner's Rivers of France, including the celebrated plate of Calais Heights-complete set of Turner's Liber Studiorum-also Turner's Scotland and Turner's Yorkshire-a selection of Turner's Rivers of France-and several hundred choice proofs of various plates after Turner-as well as choice and unique proofs of his principal large plates, Caligula's Bridge, Mercury and Argus, Mercury and Herse, Tivoli, Temple of Jupiter, Heidelberg, Ehrenbreitstein, Cologne, Ancient and Modern Italy, The Shipwreck, Approach to Venice, &c. &c.; also the works of Rosa Bonheur, Corbould, Creswick, Constable, Chalon, Callcott, Cattermole, Collins, Cooke, De Wint, Etty, Eastlake, Faed, Fielding, Goodall, Hogarth, Landseer, Lawrence, Leslie, Lewis, Martin, Maclise, Millais, Nasmyth, Newton, Paton, Prout, Roberts, Reynolds, Richmond, Ross (Sir W.), Smirke, Stothard, Stanfield, Turner, Westall, Wilkie, Ward, Warren, and others. The principal engravers of these works are Brandard, Bacon, Burnet, Cousen, Cousins, S., Doo, Engleheart, Finden, Golding, Goodall, Holl, Heath, Le Keux, Lewis, Pye, Raimbach, Robinson, J. H., Ryall, Stewart, Smith, Stocks, Turner, C., Warren, Watt, J. H., Willmore, Ward, &c. At the recent high prices for engravings, this collection will realize several thousand pounds.

CHARLES COLLINS.-This writer, brother of Wilkie Collins, and Charles Dickens's son-in-law, is about producing a new novel, called "At the Bar."

He is a younger son of the late William Collins, R. A., whose picture, the "Sale of the Pet Lamb," is known and has been multiplied everywhere by engravers.
