SIR FRANCIS BOND HEAD, so well known in this country as one of the former
governors of Canada, and as an author of remarkable versatility and
cleverness, has published an agreeable but superficial book on Paris--the
Paris of January, 1852--under the quaint title of _A Bundle of French
Sticks_; and Mr. Putnam has reprinted it in his new library.
A remarkable book published in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1847, by J. D.
NOURSE, under the title of _Remarks on the Past, and its Legacies to
American Society_, has just been reprinted in London, with an introduction
by D. T. COULTON.
The following works, all of which have promising titles, will soon be
published by J. S. REDFIELD: _Men of the Times in 1852_, comprising
biographical sketches of all the celebrated men of the present day;
_Characters in the Gospels_, by Rev. E. H. Chapin; _Tales and Traditions
of Hungary_, by Theresa Pulzky; _The Comedy of Love_, and the _History of
the Eighteenth Century_, by Arsene Houssaye; Aytoun's _Lays of the
Scottish Cavaliers_; _The Cavaliers of England_, and _The Knights of the
Olden Time, or the Chivalry of England, France and Spain_, by Henry W.
Herbert; _Lectures and Miscellanies_, by Henry James; and _Isa: a
Pilgrimage_, by Caroline Chesebro.
_The Westminster Review_ says of ALICE CAREY, whose _Clovernook_ we
noticed favorably in the last _International_, that "no American woman can
be compared to her for genius;" the Paris _Debats_ refers to her as a poet
of the rank of Mrs. ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING in England; the literary
critic of _The Tribune_ (the learned and accomplished RIPLEY whose
judgment in such a matter is beyond appeal) prefers her _Clovernook_ to
Miss MITFORD'S _Our Village_, or Professor WILSON'S _Lights and Shadows of
Scottish Life_.
MR. DANIEL S. CURTISS has availed himself well of large opportunities for
personal observation, in his volume just published under the title of
_Western Portraiture, and Emigrant's Guide_, a description of Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Iowa, with remarks on Minnesota and other territories. It is
the most judicious and valuable book of the kind we have seen.
