TUB LEIPSII BOOK FAIR.

The hook catalogue of the new works printei in
G. runny has recently been issued, in which we find •
huge number of tomes es the German Involutions both
of the pa,t year and the present, as like wise on the
constitutions and logieketioes that have theses ensued.
Besides a number of works exeltuively devoted to some
one individual essatry of the federal state, such es
Saxony sad Bides, there are *then that embrace
the whole of the tread revoistioeary drama, es again soma
old,
eats sad ...au, such as these that ISSN off at
Vlease aad Chemist's, one year sad two rests
old, swans taus pages. The " Revelations" about Austria
sre so rumens, that they °moot kelp haw regarded as
apocryphal; the "Straggles for Freedom" us so pion.
Wed, that we Involuntarily think of Ireland's
hits and " Bettie of the Books," or
Stradain's " Libraries"atties Fishes." " Revoluuons "
and

abound. Then there are
the " Mpeeneles ef the Braila damooraey," sad "Pictures
of Idght" hum with sll the sober hue of German paper (the
very rums d Messy) side by side with the " Genesis of the
Revolution in Austria " and the " Organisation of the peo-
ple's pang in Belli, by Streckfuse." Rug. has his
" Females Ma dsmearasy in Germany." Indeed nearly
all the home of the late national parliament figure over

The novel writers sad romance contributors have got their
fingers too is the histories' pie of the last two year*, for here
are Sternberg's "New Proem Periodicals" in two volumes,
the Bret tome being romaatimlly devoted no doubt to the
" Royalists." There is also Below's pathetic, "So it
Wu;" "Glances at Rhenish Bavaria, and Werw
phalli;" and no end to "Transitions," to " Letters,"
to descriptions and " °facial as well as non-olikdal accounts,"
end the like. Brogues's work on the " Constitutions of
North America, England, sad Switstrland, compared with
the Constitution of the German Empire," is not a new work,
but a production of last year. Lastly, there are quantities
of Fluted patter on the ' Social Question," " The Rights of
Labour," Free Trade," " Property." Then a catholic
priest, • certain 1t,,. Mr. Netteler, has written on " The
Sxial Question of the Present," being sermons delivered at
Nuance. whose archbishop is as unpopular in Germany
as the Bishop of Exeter in Bagleod.
The German University Gazette has just been started in
Lake.; to advocate the principles of rational reform, by the
abolition of real evils and abuses. The first nimbus, it is
mid, display considerable talent, especially when diseutsing
the reforms necessary in the universities of Preemie; the
very. title of the Journal proves that the abuses of ether gni-
Vereltiel will not escape sad enetigaties.
