LITERATURE AND LITEEAEY PEOGEESS IN 1871. 



hold " editions (Osgood & Co.'s) of Boston. 

 Mr. Forster's " Life of Dickens " is republished 

 in Philadelphia. There are rival editions of 

 Tennyson's and Mrs. Browning's poems, of the 

 novels of B. J. Farjeon (" Joshua Marvel " and 

 "Grif"), and George Macdonald bids fair to 

 be as much contended for, though, as a con- 

 tributor to Scribner^s Monthly, his latest 

 novel, "Wilfred Cumbermere," has the im- 

 print of that house, which also issues regu- 

 larly whatever comes from the pen of Mr. 

 Froude and Prof. Max Mtiller. The novels of 

 Miss Mulock (Harpers) and those of Miss 

 Yonge and Mr. Disraeli (Appletons), com- 

 plete, in uniform editions, give evidence of a 

 firm hold on popular interest. Boston and 

 Philadelphia compete in the sale of Thackeray's 

 works. Charles Eeade's latest work proved 

 " A Terrible Temptation " to three publishing- 

 houses, but one which a good many people 

 wished had been resisted. The handsome 

 library edition (Hurd & Houghton) of Hans 

 Christian Andersen's Works has been com- 

 pleted, in part now first translated. Transla- 

 tions of George Sand's later works (Lee & 

 Shepard) have been well received. The fol- 

 lowing works also in poetry and fiction, among 

 others, have been republished :

 ing-Gould.

In the department of science, the sympathy 

 which is felt here with the strong movement 

 of the European mind causes the speedy re- 

 production and wide circulation of every im- 

 portant work that appears, not to speak of the 

 less valuable that swim in their wake. One 

 house (Appletons) has republished Darwin's 

 'Descent of Man," and "Voyage of a Natu- 

 ralist," Mr. Mwart's "Genesis of Species," 



Sir John Lubbock's anthropological works, 

 Herbert Spencer's "Psychology" and "Dis- 

 cussions," Tyndall's "Fragments of Science," 

 and " Hours of Exercise Among the Alps," 

 Proctor's " Light Science," Mandsley's " Body 

 and Mind," Dr. Stroud's theplogico-scientific 

 (and very interesting) inquiry into " The Phys- 

 ical Cause of the Death of Christ," Galton's 

 " Hereditary Genius," and the speculative 

 treatise of Mr. Walker entitled " Cyclical Del- 

 uges." The "Wonder" Library (Scribner's) 

 includes a large number of popular expositions 

 of science, with descriptive and pictorial ac- 

 cessories. Lyell's "Student's Elements of 

 Geology" (Harpers), and other treatises. 



In Theology, and Philosophy, such works 

 as "Jowett's Dialogues of Plato," the "Speak- 

 er's Commentary," Augustine's " City of God," 

 Hanna's "Life of Christ," appear almost si- 

 multaneously in England and in this country. 

 In History, Curtius's "History of Greece," 

 Philip Smith's "Ancient History of the East," 

 Eawlinson's "Manual of Ancient History," 

 Dr. Wm. Smith's edition of Hallam's "Middle 

 Ages," the "Life and Times of Lord Brougham," 

 Freeman's " Historical Essays," and Prof. 

 Seeley's " Eoman Imperialism, and other Lec- 

 tures and Essays." Translations, if brought 

 under one head, would be seen to constitute 

 an increasing part of the mental aliment of 

 scholars and readers. To those already named 

 should be added the works of M. Taine, on 

 "Art," "Intelligence," and "English Litera- 

 ture," and TJeberweg's "History of Philoso- 

 phy," of which one volume has appeared, under 

 the editorial care of Drs. Philip Schaff and H. 

 B. Smith, as the beginning of a theological and 

 philosophical library. The fine series of " An- 

 cient Classics for English Eeaders" is in prog- 

 ress of republication.
