The French historian MICHELET, deprived of his professorship in the
College of France, is devoting himself more than ever to literature. His
last work, of which an authorized translation has just appeared in London,
is _The Martyrs of Russia_.

MICHEL NICOLAS, one of the ablest among the French theologico-ethical
writers, has published a translation of the _Considerations on the Nature
and Historical Developments of Christian Philosophy_, by Dr. RITTER, of
the University of Gottingen.

M. SCHONENBERGER, a music-publisher at Paris, has purchased from the heirs
of Paganini the copyright of his works, and is now publishing them, under
the editorial supervision of M. ACHILLE PAGANINI, the son of the great
violinist. The edition will comprise every thing that he left behind in
writing. Hector Berlioz speaks with enthusiasm in the _Journal des Debats_
of the two grand concertos which have just appeared, one of them
containing the marvellous rondo of the _campanella_. Berlioz speaks in
high praise of Paganini's genius as a composer. A volume would be
required, he says, to indicate the new effects, the ingenious methods, the
grand and noble forms which he discovered, and even the orchestral
combinations, which before him were not suspected. In spite of the rapid
progress which, thanks to Paganini, the violin is making at the present
day in respect of mechanical execution, his compositions are yet beyond
the skill of most violinists, and in reading them it is hardly possible to
conceive how their author was able to execute them. Unfortunately he was
not able to transmit to his successors the vital spark which animated and
rendered _human_ those astonishing prodigies of mechanism.
