is a Norwe¬ 
gian about twenty-two years old, now a pro¬ 
fessor in a Swedenborgiau college, Urbana, 
Ohio. Ilis poem in the February Atlantic 
is original, and was written by him, in 
English. 
II \rper's, for February, opened with an 
interesting art icle on Walter Scott, followed 
by one on "Holland and the Hollanders,” 
which was very readable. An article with 
quaint illustrations, was called “ Old Books 
in New York.” A large number of short 
romances, and the usual departments, tilled 
the remaining pages. 
The London Athenaeum noticing Ameri¬ 
can books, for 1871, speaks highly of the fol¬ 
lowing, as the most notable:—Taylor's 
translation of "Faust,” Bryant’s “Homer,” 
Lowell’s "Among my Books,” Whipple's 
“Success and its Conditions,” John Hay's 
“Castilian Days,” Tligginson's “Atlantic 
Essays,” Mrs. Phelps’ “Silent Partner,” 
and the poems by Stoddard, Hartt and Win.

Moore's Rural New-Yorker of November 18, 
1871, says; 
" Having used one of their Instruments In our 
family for twenty years, wn can confidently commend 
them to our readers as being (list-class in every re¬ 
spect. Botli professional und amateur players on the 
piano pronounce our Dunham very superior in tone. 
An instrument that has retained its brilliancy and 
sweetness of tone for a score of years needs no fur¬ 
ther commendation.”
