It would be absurd for me to refer
to a solitary idea in his great address
of Thursday, inasmuch as every in
telligent man in the land, will read and
digest every word for himself; but
this very interest in the all-absorbing
feature of the occasion, may very pos
siblv induce a neglect for accessories
•well worthy of attention.
Net the least item in this agreeable
back ground is the brilliant speeeh of
the llev. Mr. Chapin, In following up
a proposition that all the physical
movements of the age, no less than
the moral principles recognised and
advanced the doctrine they were then
advocating, he eloquently exclaims—
“Natureis republican—for, Sir, what
are these new forces, steam and electri
cit v, that have changed the whole face
of the world, and jerked the nineteenth
century further ahead than whole ages
before—what are these but powers that
are living, and forcing the world on to
a noble destiny 1 W hat are these but
efficacious principles, hut the janitors
of classes, and the servants of com
mon men who have become powerful?
Does not the poor man to-day ride up
on cars such as never waited upon
Ivinas, or drove the wheels of trium
phal chariots —dues ha oot yoke the
lightning and touch the magnetic nerves
of the world ? The steam-engine is a
democrat. It is the popular heart that
throbs in its iron pulses, while the elec
tric telegraph writes upon the walls of
despotism, Mi ne, ntene, tekel upharsin.
There is a process going on in the
moral and political world, like that in
the physical world. The old Saurian
forms ot past ages are crumbling and
breaking up old landmarks. And, Sir.
tlit v will turn over the Metterniches
and Nicholasses of Europe, and con
vert the Josephs into fossils !”
The llev. Mr. Bellows, in respond
ing to the compliment to the clergy,
said the topic of the evening was a re
ligious question, the religious form of
discussing it, involving a consideration
of the relations of patriotism to phi
lanthropy.
“God has not,” said he, “thrown
us down in a little region, hemmed in
with mountains and inaccessible steeps;
1 but he has thrown us down in a hem
isphere broad cast; as much as to say,
‘There shall be no mountains or rivers
to shut you out from the world, or the
world from you, and your patriotism
is to consist in being the home of op
pressed nations, and the right arm of
liberty whenever liberty is in danger.
How is it that we have happened to
place the stars of heaven upon our flag,
if not to say that the principles under
which we gather are as broad as the
earth over which these stars shine
down ! Here we have among us the
man whom God has raised up, bring
ing him from Asia, where our race ori
ginated, from Asia through England,
whence our liberties were brought to
this country, through England, gather
ing up all her past, and finally coming
to stand up here in America, with the
voices of all the hopes, and all the re
ligions, and all the liberties of Europe.
Ami lie is to go tiaek from nerc cnarg
ed with our sympathies and our hopes
for liberty, through England again, and
again to the hordes of Asia, thus
throwing across the globe that electric
cord which is about to bind the whole
world in one great bond of religious
and political freedom. This is the
providential man to accomplish these
things; and in another respect he is
the providential naan. Though he comes
from an Oriental home he speaks the
English tongue, the only tongue which
plainly articulates constitutional liber
ty, and he speaks, too, as no other man
has power to speak to the nations of
j the earth, and kindles with his elo
quence an enthusiasm that shall finally
set the world on tire.”
The only discordant note during this
interesting evening, was the persistence
of General Webb, of the Courier <£•
i Enquirer, to speak in most ill timed
and uncourteous opposition to the sen
timents of the distinguished guest. But
the forbearance of the audience was
exhausted long before he had said his
say, and he was very sensibly advised
by someone in the crowd to “put all
that stuff in the Courier /”
To night Kossuth and his friends are
expected to visit the Opera. Bellini’s
magnificent work, the Puritani, will
be represented, of course, and the stir
ring hymn to liberty, u Suoni la trom
ba, will be the great point of the eve
ning. 1 heard this superb duo a few
nights since, from Marini and Badiali,
[under the folds of the blended flags of
America and Hungary, when it was
greeted with a temptest of encore; how
then will it be executed, and how re
ceived, in the presence and hearing of
the great apostle and personification of
liberty—Kossuth himself?
Now that I have mentioned the
drama, permit me to add another item
or two. The play-going world is curi
ously awaiting the expected debut of
Mrs. Edwin Forrest, wife of the trage
dian ; and tho first appearance of the
notorious Lola Montes. Mrs. Forrest,
It is said, will make her first effort at
Brougham's, on Monday next, in the
character of Queen Katharine. The
Lountess of Landsfeldt will, probably,
maintain her retirement for a while
longer.
Next week Mr. Brooks, an English
tragedian of repute, is to entertain us
at the Broadway. This establishment
has recently given us a modern rigma
role of tho Brougham genus, full of
doubtful quips and quirks at men and
manners. The Hungarian Governor
was hinted at on the evening of his ar
rival here, in the following awful style :
tlur pa-s will dine Kossuth we understand,
Cause, sooth ho cometh from a hungry land !”
It is very probable, my dear editors,
that a little errand out of town, may
compel a brief interval in our corres
pondence, in respect, at least, to themes
ot city gossip; in which event, I am
Jour’s, sine die. Fur.

(Tlwrlrstoii, I. £.:
SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 20. 1851.
KOSSUTH.
We have written this magic name upon the
blank sheet before us, under an impulse scarce
ly to be resisted—for although we are a thou
sand miles distant from the scene of his splen
did enthronement, in the heart of a vast me
tropolis, the echoes of the triumphal music are
sounding in our ears, the glitter of the pagean
try is reflected to our eyes, the enthusiasm ot
the multitude has reached our heart as by some
mesmeric power—and we are compelled to
think, and feel, and write in the same strain as
those who have listened to the machless clo
quonce of his voice, or seen the resistless smile
of his face. We are content, for the moment
at least, to forget every apprehension that we
have entertained, of the want of true sympathy
between the Magyar leader and the American
people. We have feared, and our judgment
has not yielded to our feeling—that the repub
licanism of Kossuth is vastly more radical and
impulsive than that which is sheltered beneath
tho wings of the American Eagle. A wild
torrent of superficial emotion may sweep over
all the land before the name and preseuce of
the noble Kossuth—beneath which, however,
there may be found a calmec deeper and mon.
philosophical sentiment, greatly removed from
the revolutionary spirit of the Magyar. This
may be, we say, and we think it will be, for
we cannot be quite ignorant of the character of
European republicanism, and of its proclivity
towards misrule.
We are glad to welcome Kossuth to our
shores—glad to let him see how the universal
heart of this great continent beats in unison
with the sentiment of Liberty, and unyielding
resistance to Tyranny—glad to afford him the
magnificent spectacle of twenty millions of
people self-governed, and yet prosperous and
happy—glad to show him how those millions
estimate self-sacrificing patriotism, and love the
exiled patriot.
The power which this great man exerts over
the people is wonderful, and almost miracu
lous. Some find the secret of it in his elo
quence of speech—and this must be indeed
almost incomparable, for it enabled him to
overbear in England the tremendous opposition
of “the Thunderer”—and to assert his sway
over the hearts of the British people—he an
enemy to thrones—they cherishing, as their
faith, the doctrine of “ the divine right of
Kings.”
But we have not room to pursue this theme.
We are writing with the jubilant shouts of
multitudes in our ears—shouts which mock at
present deliberation, and demand only accord
ant responses. The future must bring the re
flection—the philosophical inquiry—the calm,
dispassionate judgment. All these are imprac
ticable or vain, while the air is filled with the
incense of enthusiasm, and the loud utterances
of popular fervour. We have sympathy with
the Hungarian Chief—profound and cordial
enough to desire that he may soon see his be
loved country freed from Austrian tyranny,
and that he may go back from our land with
all his noble impulses and purposes confirmed
and strengthened, by his personal observation
and experience of American Liberty.
JUVENILE BOOKS.
Second Pater.
We propose in this article to continue our
linaty review of sudi recent Juvenile books as
have come under our notice—and it is, doubt
less, well for us and our readers, that scarcely
a tithe of what has been published have found
their way to our table.
The publications of the Protestant Episcopal
Sunday School Union, claim our approval
both for the beauty of their appearance, and
the general excellence of their contents. With
some exceptions, they are Catholic enough in
their spirit to suit all Protestant readers, and
their occasional devotion to the inculcation of
the peculiar doctrines of the Episcopal Church,
will certainly be no dt merit in the estimation
of churchmen. With this phase of their char
acter we have nothing to do. It is to be ex
pected that every Church will use all legitimate
means to advance its interests, and we could
not, therefore, quarrel, if we would, with an !
Episcopal Society, for publishing Episcopal i
books. Os recent issues ironi their press, we i
have before us eight or ten volumes, all alike
beautiful in their mechanical execution. Most of
these arc reprints from Londou books, hut there
are two which are original. These are entitled
“ Timid Lucy” and “ What do 1 want most ?”
The former is a delightful story, by Mrs. Tut
hill, a lady who has written several excellent
books for children. We recommend the story
of “Timid Lucy” to all those little girls whose
fearfulness subjects them to suffering and ridi
cule, hoping that they, like Lucy, will success
fully struggle with the weakness which besets
them.
The latter purports to be “a story for the
children of the Church.” It inculcates les
sons of true piety, and with the exception that
it teaches the doctrine of baptismal regenera
tion, would be orthodox in any Christian family.
Os the reprints, we notice first “ The Ifo/i
day Week and other Sketches and “ Norton
Hargrave and other Sketches
These beautiful volumes contain each a score
of different stories—every one of them convey
ing, in a charming manner, some moral lesson
to the young mind. The dainty wood cuts
which embellish their pages make the sketches
“twice-told tales.” They are called, respec
tively, the first and second series of “Shades
of Character,” and are from the pen of a fa
vourite English writer. They are reprinted
from the editions of “The Society lor promo
ting Christian Knowledge.” Another reprint
of the same Society, is “ The way through the
Desnt , or the Caravan by the Rev. R. Mii
man, M. A. This is a beautiful parable or al
legory, intended to illustrate and enforce the !
necessity ot a spiritual regeneration, in opposi- ,
tion to the too common and fatal belief that an ■
outward decency and correctness of life, will
of itself suffice to secure God’s eternal favour.
The style of the work is graceful and pleasing.
“The Primroses, or the Elder Sisters “Phebe,
or the Hospital ;” “The Prize, or the Precious
ness of a meek and quiet spirit,” “The Friends”
and “Maurice Favell, or the Singing Lesson,’*
are all neat little volumes Yvell worthy of being
reprinted, and of being extensively read by the
young. They are all by one writer, who evi
dently has the moral improvement of his little
readers at heart.
Mr. Willis P. Hazard, of Philadelphia, pub
lishes a large number of excellent juvenile
books, of which we shall mention only a few.
The Child's Fancy, is the title of a collec
tion of stoties made by “Cousin Alice,” some
of them from her own pen, aud others from
various popular contributors to the juvenile
magazines of the day.
Smiles and Frowns, is a volume of stories,
in rhyme, intended “for good aud bad child
ren,” by a lady who has written many popular
books. Both these little volumes have nume
rous coloured pictures for childhood’s eager
eye.
SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE.
Stories of Animals , is the title of a third
volume, full of pleasing little sketches of natu
ral history, illustrated by pictures.
The Treasury of Pleasure Books, is a com
pilation from a London work of the same name,
in two volumes, which we pronounced, some
months ago, very charming indeed. Without
all tho beauty of that edition, the volume before
us has still much attraction in its familiar nur
sery rhymes and stories, illustrated by artists of
great reputation.
C. G. Henderson & Cos., of Philadelphia,
send us some clever w'orks for little people-
Among them we may mention with approba
tion—
Kriss Kringle’s Book, for all good boys
and girls. Perhaps we should have reserved
this to be noticed with the holiday books, to
which class it properly belongs—the very name
of Kriss Kringle being suggestive of Christinas.
It is a very nice book, as every intelligent little
boy or girl will say into w’hose hands it may
chance to fall on next Christmas Eve.
Nut Cracker and Sugar Dolly, is a German
Fairy Tale, very lively and entertaining, and
less uonsenical and exceptionable than the vast
majority of fairy stories.
Carlo Francom, is the pretty history of a
Little Italian Boy, which, with other stories,
forms a handsome little volume, embellished
with coloured pictures.
The Costumes of Europe, contains simple
and intelligible descriptions of the manuers,
ctistoaM and dress of tho European nations,
with twenty-four good illustrations.
Maja's Alphabet is the handsomest primer
w r t have yet seen, each letter having an appro
priate picture, (tho work of a real artist,) and
instructive rhymes to suit it.
Little Charlie’s books, under the titles of
the Country Walk, Christmas Amusements,
Rhymes and Jingles, Games and Sports, are
all unexceptionable in their contents, as design
ed for the youngest readers.
We have yet enough books before us to oc
cupy a third notice, especially as some of them
are Christmas and New Year Annuals—and
to all of these we will give attention next week.
(Pur tlpossip Cnltunn.
Franklin’s Birth-Day.
We are indebted to Messrs. McDevitt, Jayne
and others, the Committee of invitation ap
pointed by the New-York Typographical So
ciety, for a very polite invitation to be present
at their proposed festival in commemoration of
the 146th Anniversary of the Birth of Benja
min Franklin. The festival will be held at
Niblo’s elegant and spacious rooms, on Friday
evening, the 16th of January, 1852, and the
programme is full of interest. The dinner
will be a magnificent affair, and we have no
doubt that the toasts, sentiments and speeches,
will sparkle w'ith wit and humour—for in the
language of the programme, “Invitations have
been extended to distinguished members of the
profession throughout the country, many of
whom with prominent members of the press in
this city, will be present as the guests of the
Society.”
This imposing demonstration on the part of
the typographical profession is designed to aid
the funds of the Printer’s Free Library, an
institution of recent origin, but of no doubtful
utility or success.
We should count it a pleasure of no ordinary
degree, to be present at this festival, but the ab
sorbing and imperative duties of our editorial
post will not allow us to accept the invitation
of the Typographical Society. May the occa
sion be one of unmixed delight and profit.
The Flit Letter.
We nesd scarcely direct the attention of our
readers to the letter of our New-York corres
pondent in this number, for we well know that
his communications are never overlooked. We
allude to it simply to express our gratification
with the graphic and comprehensive sketch it
affords of the arrival, reception and position of
the great Hungarian Exile upon the soil of
freedom. Our correspondent has painted, with
a few free touches, a vivid and life-like picture,
that affords us some compensation for the loss
of the scene itself. We may say here, in refe
rence to the last paragraph of his letter, that
we hone to prevail with him to continue his
letters—whethersoever and how long soever
his “errand” may take him from the metropo-
I lis. Is not “Flit” his name, and shall he not
i be true to it ?
An Original Christmas Story.
W“ shall publish in our next number (the
last of the present series of the Gazette,) a very
interesting Christmas Story, entitled “ The
Bachelor Uncle, from the pen of our fair and
already popular correspondent “Sem South
land,” a nomme de plume, which we are not at
liberty to interpret to our readers. There is no
reason, however, why we should not say that
she is i daughter of Georgia, and of an hon
oured name. To make room for her season
able offering, we crowd the concluding chap
ters of The Sjwndthrift into this number, in
stead of extending the story as we proposed at
first to the next. It contracts our other depart
ments a little, but our readers will, doubtless,
excuse this.
A Word to our Friends.
Wc esteem every reader of the Gazette a
friend, but we have within that large circle
which embraces its supporters, quite a number
of tried aud cherished friends, in the stronger
and higher sense of the term—friends who
would do us a favour at a personal cost. To
them we appeal for assistance, in extending our
subscription list, and we earnestly hope that by
their efforts we shall make large additions to it
for the new series.
Schoolfellow rremlums.
We copy the following offers from the cover
of the December Schoolfellow, hoping that
many of the young readers of our paper will
be induced to contend for the prizes, and thus
increase the circulation of that popular and
beautiful little magazine, which has confessedly
! no equal in the country.
A BEAUTIFUL PREMIUM!
We will give to any subscriber to the School
-1 fellow, who will send qs, in addition to his or
her own subscription for the year 1852, two dol
lars for two new subscriptions, a copy of Mrs.
Neal’s new and charming book,
“NO SUCH WORD AS FAIL,”
just published by 1). Appleton & Cos., of New-
York, and beautifully bound in cloth of blue
and silver. The book will be delivered to the
order of each person entitled to it, at our office
in Charleston, or if desired to be sent by mail,
the amount of pre-postage, which is ten cents,
may be enclosed in the letter, and it will be
sent carefully enveloped.
ANOTHER LARGER PREMIUM.
THE TIIREE VOLUMES OF
THE SCHOOLFELLOW, FOR 1849,1850
AND 1851,
handsomely bound in gilt cloth, will be given
as a Premium to any subscriber to the work,
who will send with his or her subscription for
1852, nine other new- subscriptions, or orders
for back volumes, so as to make the remittance
Ten Dollars. The volumes will bo delivered
at tho office in Charleston, to the order of any
one entitled to them.
O* Subscribers in the country, desiring to
receive the Premium volumes through the mail,
should enclose with their order the amount of
pre-postage, which, within 500 miles of Charles
ton, will be fifty cents, and over 500 miles one
dollar, for three volumes.
Mercantile Library Association.
The Constitution of this excellent association
has been laid upon our table. It is printed in
connection with the able Report of the Charles
ton Chamber of Commerce, which recommen
ded its establishment. There are about 165
regular members and 10 honorary members of
this body. Mr. W. B. Heriot is the President,
Mr. Jno. B. DeSaussure Vice President, and
Messrs. Edwin Hcnot and E, 11. Frost, Secre
taries. The Library—we arc glad to learn
is in a flourishing cond tion.
A Snow Storm.
We had,on Wednesday last, a bonafide snow
storm, an occurrence so rare in our city, that we
think it deserving of rec ord. It fell all day, and
fast enough to cover the ground, and the roofs
of the houses, and many an urchin managed to
scrape enough together to indulge iu the fa
mous Northern sport of snow-balling.
Extraordinary Phenomena.
We hear rumours of extraordinary feats
performed at Hibernian Hall, by a professor of
Animal Magnetism, christened of late, how
ever, by sundry other Dames — such as Elegtro-
Biology and the like. The most astonishing
of these modern miracles is the suspension of
the memory. We know’ not how true it is,
but we have been informed that quite a number
of individuals have forgotten to return small
sum* of money lUejr- hold uwcd-^vi.
even forgot to pay his note in bank ; another
lorgot to pay his rent on quarter day, and a
third actually forgot to— return a borrowed
umbrella ! We will not vouch for tho truth o<
these rumours, or attempt to explain the myste
rious .agency by which these phenomena are
produced. “Facts nre stubborn things,” and it
is of little use to resist them. We are fearful
ly apprehensive that this modern magician may
operate upon some of our subscribers and make
them forget to— pay their subscriptions !

SCRIBNER’S HOLIDAY BOOKS.
In our advertising columns there appeared
last week, and appears again this week, the
announcement of Mr. Charles Scribner, of
New-York, of several elegantly illustrated
books, designed for the holidays. We have
examined several of them very critically, and
can assure our readers that they are entitled to
the appellation of “choice books.” In the first
place, there is Ike Marvel’s popular book—
The Reveries of a Bachelor. “That is not
new,” the reader may say, and we shall yield
the point, insisting, however, that this edition
of it is so beautiful as to make quite a different
book of it. It is printed on the finest paper, with
generous margins, and, above all, it is enriched
by the genius and skil. of Darley, in a series
of exquisite illustrations, which, as wood cuts,
exhibit a remarkable approximation to the best
specimens of that art, from either London or Pa
ris. Our readers know how charming Mr.Mitch
eH’B book of “Reveries” is, and we need not
say much of it. It is just the book to be read
aloud by a pleasant voice to a fireside group.
The illustrated edition before us will make it
more popular than ever.
J\Jrs. Kirkland's Evening Book, which is
entitled also “Fireside Talk on Morals and
Manners,” is eminently a book for the season.
Its themes are all of the home-circle, and more
charming and agreeable essays are not to be
met with in any other volume. There i9 a
freshness and a geniality about all the produc
tions of Mrs. Kirkland’s pen, which are not to
be res/sted by the most impassive iJeader. He
must warm to her enthusiasm. A distinguishing
feature of these fireside sketches is their fidelity
to truth. They are social daguerreotypes, un
rivalled in the clement of the picturesque.
They exhibit no artificial tints, and no straining
after effect. Reflecting home-feelings, they
cannot fail of pleasing all who cherish home
virtues. Numerous fine engravings lend addi
tional beauty to tho work.
Wo have recently no'iced two of the other
works in the list—“ Watching Spirits” and
Boyd’s Edition of “ Young's Night Thoughts .”
Uniform with the latter, is a beautiful copy of
Milton’s immortal Epic, accompanied with vo
luminous notes by tho editor—the only
tion we have to which, is that they leave the
reader nothing to imagine, and renr.ud us of
Anthon’s Edition of Horace, iu which the
notes exceed in quantity the Latin text. As
“Paradise Lost” is a scaled book, however, to
thousands of readers, P lessor Boyd has done
an acceptable service by his numerous and mi
nute annotations. This edition is illustrated by
Martin’s magnificent dcsigus.
Philosophy ok the Mechanics or Nature, and the
Source and Mines of Action of Natural Motive Power.
By L. Alle,. New-York : D. Appleton & Cos.
Messr. Appleton are certainly laying the
mechanics of this country under vast obliga
tions by their successive publications of impor
tant treatises and manuals connected with
Mechanism and Powt r. To their invalua
ble Cyclopaedia of Machines, their admirable
monthly magazine for Mechanics, their Trea
tise and Catechism on the Steam Engine, they
have now added this imposing volume upon
the philosophy of Natural Mechanics.
In tracing out tho source of natural motive
power, the author of this volume arrives at
conclusions diametrically opposite to the theo
ries of our College text books. He teaches
the doctrine of “the propagation of mechanical
action through the medium of electric matter.”
The whole range of Natural Philosophy has
been contemplated by our author in the prepa
ration of his work, and t is enriched by the re
sults of tht most modem investigations. The
mdruntry and louriupg displayed in the work,
gave it an indisputable title to rank among the
ablest contributions to Scientific Literature.
Sir Roger dk CoverlY. By the Spectator. Boston:
Ticknor & Cos.
No reader of “good old English” is igno
rant of the worthy Sir Roger—the glory of the
Spectator. The excellt nt Baronet of Worces
ter deserves the distinction of a separate vo
lume, in which his find, genial humour, and
hearty English nature, may stand out in proper
relief from the butterfly beings which flutter
around him in his orig nal associations. We
cordially thank the publishers for this hand
some volume, so gracefully renewing the past.
Screnne’s French Pronouncing Dictionary'. N.
York: D. Appleton fit Cos. [For oale by all the Booksel
lers.J
We have made use of this dictionary for
some years, and prefer it vastly to ny other
manual at our command. It is both compact
and comprehensive. Its definitions are clesr
and simple, and its method for pronunciation
unequalled. The work is in two parts; the
first embracing French words and their equiva
lents in English, and the second English words
and their equivalents i 1 French. Among the
secondary, hut vastly important items compre
hended in the work, is the terminology of
I Science and Art, Geog aphical and Historical
names, all modem terms, and critical remarks
on pronunciation.
We have no hesitation in saying that Su
renne's Dictionary is the best that can be ob
tained for any thing like its price, and alto
gether a sufficient manual for our higher
schools. It is beautifully printed, neatly bound,
and sold for one dollar and fifty cents.
The Fifteen Decisive Battles or the World,
from Marathon to Waterloo. By E. 6. Creasy, M. A.
New- York : Harper & Brothers.
This is an attractive book, well written, and
not without its share of well digested thought
Wa cannot bring ourselves to agree with Mr.
Creasy’s estimate of the fifteen battles he has
chosen as the hinges of the world’s destiny.
Some of them arc certainly indisputable—per
haps more than the five conceded by the West
minster Review. We should call the bat
tles of Marathon, Metaurus, Arbela, Chalons,
Tours, Hastings, Vahny, and Waterloo, deci
sive battles —while of these the W estminster
crific rejects the first two and the last. The
reader will find much to interest him in the
graphic and sometimes powerful sketches of
our author.
Stoddard’s Complete Ready Reckoner. New-
York : Cornish, Lamport ft Cos.
We cannot do better than to let this little
manual tell its own story. It claims to be
adapted to the wants of many classes, and
coutains “a produce and merchandize reckon
er, a monthly and a weekly table for farmers,
merchants, mechanics, &e.; board by the week;
board measure, timber reduced to inch-board
measure; log, plank, timber, bark and wood
measures ; value of wood and bark per cord ;
ytjijp ‘ aitirles sold by the oound aud ouuce.
. . at 6*and iTjftn wtirr*
vfrily, this pocket manual containeth “mm/-
tum in parvo .”
Musicac €>ems for School and Home. By Wm. B.
Brail burr, New-York: M. It. Newman & Cos.
This is a rich and full collection of music
for the young, embracing many original pieces,
besides popular selections from the best sources.
The names of the editor and publishers are
sure pledges of the excellence of the book.
Fern ley Manor, or Edith the Inconstant. By Mrs.
McKenzie Daniel. New-York: Long and Brother.
[Charleston: Courtenay and Wienges.
A readable and pleasant story, with plot
and characters of which the author has not
made all that she might havo made. The mo
rale of the book is good.
The Amaranth, for 1851 Boston: Phillips, Sampson
Sc Cos.
A pretty and pleasing collection of sketches
and tales, with seven w’ell executed engravings,
constitute the attractions of this well established
Souvenir.
Muttering* and Muhinos of an Invalid. New-
York : John S. Taylor.
We suppose we must deal tenderly with “an
invalid,” and, therefore, wo will only say of
this book that it is chiefly a rigmarole of twat
tle and nonsense, and its very best points are
marred by its ridiculous affectations of quaint
ness.
Florence, the Parish Orphan, and a Sketch of tle Vil
lage in the last century. By Eliza Buckminster Lee.
Boston: Ticknor, Reed It Fields. [Charleston: John
Russell.
Two very charming sketches, which will
find their way to the heart of tho reader by
virtue of their naturalness and grace, both of
sentiment and style.

Appleton's Mechanics Magazine. [New-
York ; D. Appleton So Co.] This work has
just completed its first year, and attained, in that
briel period, the reputation of being the most
valuable, as it certainly is the cheapest work of
its kind in the world. It is published at the
exceedingly low price of $3 a year, and yet
each number contains pages, and the ar
-1 pvorusely illustrated with hue engra
vings of machinery, diagrams, 4,c. The typo
graphical execution of the work is as beautiful
as possible, and tho variety, comprehensiveness
aud practical character of its reading matter are
worthy of the warmest approbation. It should
be in the hands ot every intelligent artisan in
this vast country. Its value is infinitely beyond
its nominal price, and we have no doubt that
every mechanic who would read its pages regu
larly would confirm our opinion. We recom
mend those of our readers who arc at all in
terested in the mechanic arts, to subscribe for
this work for the coming year, and if they or
dered the volume for 1851, they would be
wiser still.
Little's Lining Age, Dec. 20th. [Boston:
E. Little &. Co.] The conductor of this ex
cellent journal abates not a whit of his good
taste in filling its columns with the wheat of
English periodical literature, while he vory
sedulously avoids the chaffi. We must continue
to regard it as the best oi all the Eclectic mag
azines, and wonderfully cheap at its price. The
publishers make the following announcement:
“To all subscribers within 1500 miles, who
remit in advance, directly to the office of pub
lication at Boston , the sum of Six Dollars,
we will continue the work beyond the year, as
long as it shall be an equivalent to the cost of
postage : —thus virtually carrying out the plan
of sending every man’s copy to him pontage
free; placing our distant subscribers on the
same footing as those nearer to us, and making
the whole country our neighbourhood.”
Southern Literary Messenger, for Decem
ber. [Supplied by Courtenay So Wienges.]
Thc .cventecuth annual volume of this work
is completed with the number before us; aud
it is pleasing to think that in spite of all the
discouragements in the way of Southern Lite
rary Enterprise, this excellent work maintains
its vitality, and flourishes with continually re
newed vigour. It has obtained a strong hold
upon the public sympathy, and is such a de
serving lavourite, that we trust never to see its
popularity decline. W’e cordially bid it good
speed in the coming year. Subscription, $5 in
advanee.
Gfdey's Lady's Book, for January, 1852.
[l'!\j.: L. A. Godey.] “Ahead of all his con
temporaries,” says an exchange paper of the
magazine-prince, and it is literally as well as
figuratively true. Our New Year’s number of
the Lady’s Book is already pretty well de
spoiled of its external beauty by reason of pas
sin( through scores of hands for ten days past.
It is a dainty looking issue, with a steel en
graving painted in colours upon its white cover,
an! inside, a whole treasure house of pictures
aul choice reading. To quote its table of con
texts, there are “100 pages, 41 contributors,
and 28 engravings.” We shall believe that
this can be surpassed when we see it. As
we have said before, say we yet again—so
tong aa the ladies desire a magazine of their
own, so long will they give Godey’s the un
hesitating preference, because, let his rivals do
•vhat they will to approach him, he always
manages to be several bounds alidad of them.

the cheapest work of its kind with which we

SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE.
A NEW SERIES FOR 1852,
WITH ENTIRELY XEW FEATURES.
The Publishers oI this popular .anti well established
Journal, beg leave to announce, that in compliance with
the wishes of hundreds of their subscribers, they will
commence, on the 3d of January, 1852, anew series of
this paper, in a form adapted to preservation iu volumes.
It will lie printed upon an imperial sheet, in a quarto
form of sixteen pages, tilled with the choicest variety of
original and selected matter. It will be conducted as
heretofore, by Mr. Wm. C. Rim arms, aided by an ex
tensive and efficient corps of contributors.
To meet the growing demand for space, by the awak
ening talent of the South, the publishers have determined
to publish semi-monthly supplements corresponding in
size with the weekly numbers, thus increasing the former
amount of reading matter one half during the whole year.
These supplements will be devoted to the publication
of original novels, dramas, and other important serial
contributions, which would occupy too much space m
.m> nv'.kly biwnlicrn. The first supplement will appear
with the first weekly number, and regularly thereafter,
twice a month. The publishers are happy to announce
as their first great serial,
A SOUTHERN NOVEL, by WM. GILMORE
SIMMS, LL. l>.,
entitled “ The Sword and the Distaff.” Other brilliant
original works by Southern authors will follow in quick
succession, and this feature of the work can scarcely fail
to find general favour.
To meet the increase of expense occasioned by these
changes; and to warrant the coiitinual improvement of
the journal, the subscription price will be raised to Three
Dollars a year, in advance, for which trifling sum. each
subscriber will receive 76 numbers of the Gazette, making
au aggregate of over
TWELVE HUNDRED IMPERIAL
QUARTO PACES;
more matter than is furnished by any other literary paper
in the world, for the same price.
The Publishers will spare r.o pains or expense to make
the new series of the Gazette surpass its former series, iu
variety, quality, and brilliance of material, and they
confidently appeal to the people of the whole South to
sustain them in their purpose and endeavors.
The Clubbing system will be abolished, as both incon
venient and unsatisfactory to all parties. Any person,
however, who may interest himself to procure subscribers,
will be entitled to retain from his collections, one-fifth of
any sum under fifteen dollars, and oue-fourth of any sum
over that amount. Five dollars will be received in ad
vance payment for two years.
A ve'-y large edition of the new series will be published
and back numbers will be supplied to all orders while they
last, unless special directions are given to the contrary.
Orders must be accompanied by the cash, and ad.
dressed, post-paid, to
