LITERARYNOTES
THIS BRITISH PERIODICALS.
The British Quarterlies— the Issues we mean,
for midsummer, hare been somewhat delayed
In their journey to our sanctum, but though
behindhand in time, most of them maintain to
the lull their ancient literary prestige. The
North British Review, for July, completes its
100th number, at a time when the principle in
which it originated has won a signal victory.
Founded, as our readers may recollect, in con
nection with a movement which will always be
memorable in the history of religious llberty.it
has gradually extended its scope over the do
main of general politics and secular learning.
It now stands in the foremost rank as the ac
knowledged organ of a wise conservatism in
religion, ethics, and national polity. The pres
ent number is especially varied and able. The
“ leader ” on Dr. Hanna’s “ Life of Christ,”
analyses the argument of a very remarkable
work—remarkable for its learning, Insight,
cuudor, nud judicious temperance ; its stern
avoidauce'of recrimination, and the odium theo
logicum, eveu when the temptation to indulge
in both wfluid seem to have been all but over
powering. Without being a special reply to the
famous book by M. Rbnan, it examines with
closest logic the reasonings of that author, which,
if not disproved, are at all events strongly and
fairly met. The religious scholar would do
well to procure and study this article. It
abounds with clearly digested information and
suggestive thought. *
In the department of Literature proper, the
Review contains three papers of rare interest.
These are an examination oI the late “ Henry
Cuabb Robinson’s Diary,” with copious ex
tracts, an essay on “ Danish Literature,” aud a
review ol the life aud writings oi “ Walter
Savage paper refers to a
man of whom it has been said, tfeat he was one
of the best known, aud yet, least! disUntoished
individuals of his day.
Mr. Robinson, a London lawyer of strong
literary proclivities, and for the major part of*
a long life (he died in his 92d year), a man of
wealth, appears to have miugled ou a famil
iar footiug with all the British aud many of the
continental celebrities of his age. His “ Diary
and Correspondence,” which filled from forty
to fifty manuscript volumes, is both the “ re
cord of liis life and his monument.” It entitles
him, doubtless, to an enviable share of pos
thumous lame, for therein he carefully provided
for tbe instruction of his successors, transmit
ting to posterity information at once rare and
valuable—rare, because within the compass of
few to acquire, and valuable on account of its
enduring, iutriusie worth. His experience
reaches back to the last decade of the 18th
century. “ I recall,” ho says, “ the great illu
mination to celebrate the acquittal of, Admiral
iCepple, aud more vividly still the publication
of “John Gilpin.” from the fact of having re
ceived sixpence for getting the ballad by heart!”
Mr. Robinson’s pictures ol the great men he
encountered are natural, graphic and truthful.
Goethe, whom he first met at Wieuiar, in his
54th year, evidently overpowered him by his
cold dignity and his air of haughty reserve.
*» He was,” Mr. R. tells us, “ the most oppress
ively handsome man I ever saw 1 The conver
sation was restrained aud commonplace; when
we got into the open air, after having been
dismissed, I felt as it a weight were removed
from my breast, aud exclaimed fervently,
“ Gott, sle dark !” Before long I saw him un
der more favorable auspices.”
it was iu Germany that Mr. Robinson form
ed the acquaintance of that “ tornSdo iu petti
coats,” Mad. De Stake. He greatly admired
her, a lact which she was quick to perceive.—
They became intimate. During a conversation
in which he failed utterly to convince her of
the genius of Giethe (who more lliau once bad
mortified her self-love), Mr. Robinson observ
ed, “ vou will never uuderstnud that great
poet.” De Stake’s eye flashed fire. She
stretched her nobly rounded arm, exclaiming,
“ Monsieur, je compends tout ce qui merits etre
compris ;ce gut Je ne covnprenda n'tsC rien .’* As
suredly, an admirable specimen of French
“ audacity, tempered by French wit.”
Among the first persons to whom he was in
troduced upon his return home, were Chas.
Lamb aud a lady ouce dear to the juveuile
world, Mrs. Barbaulte Soon the circle ol his
literary acquaintance euibiaced Coleridge aud
Wordsworth. The latter lie describes as
rather, disagreeable in conversation and per
son il beariug. The critics, despite bis alleged
contempt of them, had succeeded in irritating
him. He was dogmatic, impatient of opposi
tion, nnd bubbling over, as it were, with hot
self-esteem.
To the glamour of Coleridge, Mr. Robin
son succumbed, like everybody else brought
within the magic circle of his genius. The
memoranda he gives us of Coleridge’s con
versations are particularly full and instructive.
On one occasion, when Shakspearr was un
der discussion, somebody rather triumphantly
instanced Home as a depredator of the great
dramatist’s works. “Hume,” exclaimed Cole
ridge, “Hume! he comprehended as much of
3uakspeare as an apothecary's vial would,
placed under the Falls of Niagara !"
Milton, in opposition to Johnson’s crude
views, he regarded as a “ most determined
aristocrat, an enemy to popular elections, and
he would have been decidedly hostile to the
Jacobins of the present day. In fine, he was
of opinion that all governments belonged to the
wise ; he thought the people fools!"
We have not the space to quote further
from this charming essay. Nor can we do
more than say, that in addition to the articles
mentioned, the Review contaius five other pa
pers of importance. Among them are “ A
Memoir of Sir Wm. Hamilton," and a critique
upon Mr. Lecky’s “ History of European
Morals.”
The venerable Edinburgh comes to ns with
much of the freshness and vim of yore. It
presents its readers with ten articles, sufficient
ly varied, and of a high standard of lability..
The lover of Italian literature will tie pleased
with an elaborate and apparently iHscriminn
ting revieW~uf"tfce “■Unpublished Works of
Gojcoiardine.” Mrs. Somerville, on “ Mole
cular Science,” discusses a recherche topic for
the benefit of the savants; while “Victor
Jacquemont’s Letters,” “Sbaksperean Glossa
ries,” “ Lecky’s History of European Morals,”
“The Ring and the Book,” and “Foster’s
Landor,” make up, altogether, an intellectual
bill of fare singularly iuviting. The article on
Landok is in marked contrast with the criti
cism on the same subject iu the North British.
The latter regards Mr. Foster’s biography as
unfair and partinl, because the drawing is out
of proportion, the lights are all thrown on the
faults, not the virtues, of the poet, whilst the
former (to our mind the more satisfactory
critique of the two) praises the “ Life ” as a
discriminating, well balanced estimate of char
acter, which strikes successfully “ the golden
mean ’’ between flattery on the one hand and
a carping severity on the other. What this
critic says of the poetry of Landor is particu
larly just. He pronounces it to be at once ar
tistic and passionate, often strictly Greek in
form, but with the nobler spirit of a later and
more enlightened era breathing through and
elevating it.
Asa specimen of Landok’s exquisite grace
and feeling, we quote the following vernes:
“ Ab, what avails the sceptered race,
Ah, what the form divine I
What every virtue, every grace I
Rose Aylmer, aU were thine I
Rose Aylmer, when these wakeful eves
May weep, but never see,
A night of memories ood of sighs
I consecrate to thee.
“ Mild Is the parting year, an 1 sweet .
The odor of the falling spray—
Life passes on more rudely fleet,
And calmless is its closing day ;
1 wait Its close, I court its gloom,
Rut mourn that never must thero fell
Upon my breast, or on my tomb,
The tears that would have soothed tt all l u
It is hard to believe that the man who could
write thus was (rcqueuMy violent, unreasoning,
and almost insanely brutal! Like Marlowe,
Savage and Kdoar I’oe, he possessed two dis
riuct natures, one keenly susceptible to every
delicate and enuobliug. Influence, the other
coarse, debauched, and essentially of “the earth
earthy.” Au utter lack of self-coutrol went far
at limes toward nullifying his magnificent en
dowments. Truly, he was oue of those un
manageable creatures
Who want as much again to manage it I’’
A spirit of dulluess has of late fastened upon
the usually iuleresliug Westminster. Its arti
cles are of the heaviest kind, instructive, ol
course, aud valuable iu their way, but demand
ing iu the"reader au amount of previous know
ledge, and a steady closeness of perusal, which
but lew eau afford to give. The mere uames of
the papers in the present issue are calculated
to dauut the ordinary student—“ Indian Rail
way Reform,” “Laborand Capital,” “ Pateuls
aud Patentees,” “ Mill’s Analysis ol the Mind,”
Ac., &c., deal doubtless with important themes,
but themes, as Hamlet says, “ caviare to the
general."
The Editorial Department is, however, as
brilliant, varied and profound as ever. It
shows as iu a mental microcosm, the present
aspects of Theology, Philosophy, Politics,
Science, History, Belles Letters and Art, both in
Great Britain aud ou the Continent, constitu
ting per se, as we have often remarked before,
such au olla prodnda of compact information
on the subjects designated, as ought to secure
lor this Review an envied pre-eminence among
contemporary Quarterlies, even although the
body of the work should wax duller aud
heavier than it is eveu likely to do.
The current uuuibers ol the London Quar
terly aud Blackwood , are fully up to their respec
tive averages of merit. “ Keble’s Biography ”
aud Wallace’s “ Malay Archipelago,” are the
most readable papers iu ihe former; aud Black
toood, besides giving us two interesting serial
tales, contains No. 1” of those “ Historical
Sketches of the Reign ol George II,” which have
deservedly attracted so much attention, espe
cially iu England. This essay is entitled “ The
Painter,” aud is devoted to the genius and
career of Hogarth. We thiuk it would have
charmed Lamb, who alter his sincere, whole
souled fashion adored Hogarth, and deemed
ifeim peerless iu his line. “No man,” says the
jtam§Muf-eritie, ” belore, or alter, has painted
a story like or set forth a
parable with such authentic foreeaud boldness.
Without any absolute horror of tfflSqd*
its course with a hand that never flinched from
auy detail, or hesitated at any catastrophe,
making it so plain to an age which needed
teaching, that lie who ran might read."
AMERICAN PERIODICALS.
Wheu Dickens was last in this country, he
visited the Mammoth Publishing House of the
Harpers in Franklin Square, New York, the
arrangement ol which deeply interested the
great novelist. After a careful survey of the
entire establishment, he emphatically pro
nouueed it, at ouce the largest and most com
plete he had ever seen. We can readily un
derstand how true this is, wheu wo consider
that besides an almost unparalleled multiplica
tion of ucw books in every conceivable depart
ment of science, literature, art, aud even agri
culture, Ibis colossal firm have for years issued
with uuilevialiug regularity no less than three
periodical works, viz: Harpeds Monthly Ma
gazine, Harper's Bazar and Harper's Weekly. —
-The character of each of these.is well knowu to
the public. Whenever they lreuch upon politics,
we utterly eschew them, but their merit iu a
literary point of view, it would be sheer pre
judice to overlook or deny. The Monthly a 8 a
vehicle of popular instruction aud amusetneut,
has probably no rival in English speaking coun
tries, nor lor aught we can learn anywhere else.
Its latest issues exhibit no decrease of vigor.
In addition to tbe usual illustrated papers upou
topics of national importance, we hayc con
tinuations of two serial novels, both of which
are works of notable ability. “ A Brave Lady”
by the author of “ John Halifax,” like all of
Mrs. Craik’s later performances, interests
chiefly though a very delicate perception aud
deliueation of individual character, apart from
any marked dramatic iucident or elaboration ol
plot. “My Enemy’s Daughter,” by a compara
tively new writer, Mr. JU9TIN McCarthy is a
subtly philosophic tale, dealing with several per
sonages of an exceptional, it not wholly eccen
tric type, and profoundly interestineas iutbede
velopment of their respective fates. Chribtiua,
the heroiue, and her husband,-the Italiau re
fugee, are finely conceived in their different
lines, while tbe contrast between the Lyndon
brothers is a constant source of amusement, the
poorer and more reckless of them, being, we
should suppose a faithful portrait of nn extra
ordinary and thoroughly impracticable origiual.
Mr. McCarthy’s art-instincts are keen and
genuine, and bis love of nature often approxi
mates to (he genuine euthusiasin of the Foot.
And yet, the impression left upon ns by bi 6
story, thus far, is a somewhat disagreeable aud
beyond question, a very mournful one. The
inconstancy of human love, the variety of
human aspirations, the melancholy incomplete
ness of most of our lives, such are the truths
which not by epigram and- moral, but by pro
cess of natural characterization, we are made
painfully to feel and recognize.
Nevertheless, “ My Enemy’s Daughter,” be
yond the large majority of novels now being
published in serial form, deserves the attention
of thoughtful and cultured readers. There is
in it strong meat for the virile intellect, uot
milk for babes.
The miscellaneous contents of the Galaxy,
for September, are overshadowed to a certain
■ extent by the growing interest of the “ Put
Yourself in Hi& Place,” by Charles Reade,
and the “Susan Fielding,” of Mrs. Edwards.
1 The first mentioned story is eminently charac
teristic. • It is varied, vivid, dramatic, haraor
ons, crammed lull of all sorts of nndiiijMw iMirt
eccentricities of portraiture, wjltL-ihU pervad
ing atmosphere of high animal spirits which is
not the leastagjaarm of the author’s ablest per
formances. Os Mrs. Edwards’ story, it is
enojljfh to say that it promises to be a not uu
-#bflhy companion of her “Stephen Lawrence,
Yeoman,” the heroine of which, the beautiful
t and spirited “ Katharine,” is among the love
liest creatures of recent English fictions.
The Atlantic, for September, will be mem
orable in the history of periodical literature as
having been made the vebiele of Mrs. Beecher
Stowe’s monstrous charges against Lord By
ron. Elsewhere and previously we have com
mented upon them, staling frankly our con
viction of their otter falsity ; hut since our ar
ticle appeared tolerably decisive proof, as our
readers may have remarked, has been furnished
in another quarter, snstaiuiug our own and the
general opinion on the subject, and blowing up
Mr?. S.’s elaborate structure of libels, in a
manner that must have aunoyed that blessed
woman considerably.
The Count Johannes’ statements in a New
York journal, although not distinguished by
Mrs. Stowe’s elegance of language, have dis
posed effectually enough of bei—what shall we
call them ?—prevarications.
Decidedly the ablest paper iu the September
Atlantic is the one devoted to a discussion of
the genius of Gustave Dorb. ' Composed by
au expert, and judiciously analytical, it will
.richly repay perusal. “
Appleton's Weekly Journal, started but a few
months ago, has won a deservedly high place
lu the estimation of impartial readers every
where. It is that strange anomaly in Northern
periodical literature, a journal that really
knows “no North, no Sonth, no East, no
West,” bat rests its claim to patronage upon
intrinsic merit and a generous recognition of
talent, whereyer it may bo found. Among its
regular contributors occur the names of more
than one Southern writer, and we learn npon
the best authority that contributors are always
treated with the promptest courtesy and the
most equitable good will.
The famous story of Victor Hugo, «The
Man Who Laughs,” admirably translated by
John . R. Thompson, has just been concluded
in this journal. Its miscellany is always .of a
a select character, and besides the regular il
lustrations, a fine cartoon L each month pre
sented to subscribers gratuitously. Nothing of
a / otitical complexion is ever allowed to defile
the pure literature of a periodical which wc
heartily advise all readers of taste to procure,
if they-have the.means to do so.

“Bill Arp” on the Press Excursion.
Mr. Henry IF. Grady :
My Dear Young Friend : You ask me
what I think of the Press Excursion. As
an old man, full of years ami full ol'houora
(sich as they are), I will say that, taking
the whole concern into consideration, from
Bullock and Bans Wright down, and up to
Hulbert and Fitch, 1 will say that I have
been seriously consideriu whether the Ex
cursiou were a suckcess or not. Some of
the editors say they were sucked in. I
suppose there were some suckers along, and
some sucking done, hut I do not think that
kept it from being a suckcess.
Now, Mr. Grady, I like editors—they are
a respectable family of people, aud I sup
pose can’t he bought—for a less price than
other folks—everybody has his price, aud
so has editors, I suppose. I don’t know
what is the price of editors, but I do know
that t hey are frequently bought. I noticed
that soon after they liad visited our high
mouutains there was some tradiu done.
Some organs sell purty high, aud some less,
accord in to music, and it is amusing to see
em change their bass. Now, I’m in for all
the fun that can be enjoyed, and after a
poor editor has wore out liis brains and his
body a lyin ou one side, I think its good for
his constitution to turn over and lie on the
other.
But this is all furren to the subject. The
questiou is were the Excursion a suckcess V
I was thinkiu that editors had tilings most
tu much their own way, but 1 don’t sec
really how it can lie helped. They are their
own Judges aud juries, and nobody else can
say a word agin em. Nobody else has got
a paper, and if anybody else wauted to crit
icise or abuse em, it would be a little too
late to get it in. I’ve got nothin special
agin editors only this : They all stand up
to oue another, and can abuse everybody,
and nobody has a chance to fight back.—
There aint but oue thing that makes em
mad with one another, and that is for one
feller to git more pap, or daddy, than the
rest git. Then the fur flies, aud hides are
put on a pole. The whole unfortunate con
cern gits mad, and they remind oue of a pig
running off with a year of corn, and all the
litter squeal in after him. Editors say its
high principle actuatin em, but a close ob
server says, they are mail because the for
tunate individual sold out for a less price
Wnffiey liad been askin.
But, to go Dgcktolhe main point—were
the Excursiouwf' success? If that istke
question, what constitutes
to carry one pint. Well, 1 might say sar
kastically, that the excursion done that aud
a half pint over. But seriously, if having
a good time at other people’s expenses is a
success, then they hail it, and they enjoyed
it, and we all enjoyed it, and have been
feelin good about it ever since. We look
back at it as a greeu Oasis, and have nothin
to regret about it, only that they didn’t
stay longer. I like editors, and have only
made the foregoing caustic remarks out of
deference to the public, who like slander.
You needn’t talk to me about the Atlanta
Slander Mill. I’ve watched human natur
for several years, and my opinion is that
every man has got a smail slander mill iu
his own bosom. Slander is as necessary to
good moral health as turnip greens in tlie
spring of the year. Its right hard to live
without it, and my opinion is that it does
more good than harm. I always feel kinder
toward a man after I have abused him. It
sorter restores the equi 1 ibriurn.
But the question is, was the Excursion a
suckcess ? Fitch says it was, and Fitch
ought to know, for what lie didn’t see, and
hear, and partake,* did n’t belong to the con
cern. Fitch developed as he went along.
He drew his pints from history aud Gali
leo, aud St. Paul, and Gaskill, and et
ceteres. lie says he wasen’t demoralized or
contaminated by Bullock, or Hulbert, or
Glascock, or Ilaucoclc, or any other—
rooster. Filch is an honest editor—l don’t
know what, his price is, but I’ll bet lie don’t
ask as little as some folks who put on more
pretensions. Several of ’em don’t seem to
know how to write about it. After gittin
all the good of it, t.hf y say well, we—had a
—very —good—time—and—but—and Bul
lock and Hulbert—they—will, etc., aud so
did Fitch, and they talk out of school.
Fitch says there aint but two honest edi
tors in Georgia—oue of whom he is which,
and modestly forbids to name the other.
There is a heap of competition for that
other—and I don’t know who’ll git it, but I
rather supposed it would tie between Whit
aker’s front and Dr. Bard’s rear.
But, the question is, were the Excursion
asuckceas? One thing is certain, I’m in
favor of bavin eni once a year, just for the
fun of the thing. It was a glorious occa
sion, and done the editors good. The
trouble with editors is that they can see
other people’s faults, but they can’t see their
own. Nobody ever writes about era—
every one prises the other’s papers. They
even say they are gratified that you, Mr.
Henry, have tied your time and talents to
such an able sheet as Mr. Dwinnell’s!
Great spoons! Goodsakes! as Col. Akin
would say. But I shan’t make any inunen
does. I’ll refer the matter to Pitch. Edi
tors can write as fool things as anybody,
but nobody dare tell em of it. Tiie reason
is nobody have got a paper to light back in.
Iv’e thought I would buy a paper, but then
if I did I suppose I would jine the fraterni
ty and stand up to my crowd. •
But the question is, was the Excursion a
suckcess? Hulbert says it was, and Hul
bert is a man of parts. I might say he
was a whale, and that the press was Jonah
—but I won’t make such painful allusions
—nevertheless, Hulbert was a suckcess—
that’s certain. He got the editors in the
cautious state. They whispered. “ cat in
the meal tub,” and be hollored in a great
big, double bass voice, “IRON.” They
said, there’s politicks in all this, and he
shouted. “ coal—anthracite—hematite—
marble—gold,” and they hushed, and WMjrf
along as gentle as a frove of folTenn
a leaky corn wagon. T~lell yon Hulbert
had a devilof a time of it, for there were a
bnrnwfs along who were hard to tole,
but he tolled em. He did certain, and they
eat his corn, aud it was good, sound coni,
aud it fattened em, and they ouglitent to
be ashamed of it. 1 don’t think there lias
been any damage done to these editors.
They’ve got a good, jolly time, and it will
make em live longer. If thereto anything
wrong about it, it is owing to the fact that
editors are so poor generally that when
anything is offered to em gratis , they go in,
whether incomes from St. Paul or the
Devil. Most of them are iu the coudition
of my friend Underwood, who said he was
ready to die iu the name of the Lord—for
he Was even with the world—that is, he
owed about as many as he didn’t owe, aud
had nothing to pay with it.
But the main question is, were the Ex
cursion a suckcess ?
Yours truly, Bill Arp.
