TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Out of forty-four nominations for the Nursery
Stakes, nineteen have accepted, and about a dozen may
be expected to start.
Blaze, who figures at the head of the list, having 9st
21b to carry, of course completely disposes of his chance;
Ribaldry, Bst 51b, Cupid, Bst 51b, Paladin, Bst 31b, and
Cracow, Bst 11b, have not the ghost of a chance. Dis-
taffina, Bst, being a very fine mare, in capital condition,
will be certain to run forward. The filly by Don John,
darn by Colwiek, Bst, Whipper Snapper, ibt 121 b, and
Sir Oliver, 7st 1 Ilb, will, in all probability, not start ;
should they do so, cannot win.
Reflection, ist 1 11b, must not be lost sight of ; her
winning is not a forlorn hope.
Hecuba, 7st 91b, Duplicity, 7st 51b, Egremont, ist 41b,
Vanessa, anessa, Tat 41b, Impertinence colt, ist 31b, and Second
layer, Gst 91b, will help to form the ruck.
Now, after hastily running through the list, I am of
opinionffin that the front rank will be composed of Dis-

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
Newmarket, Wednesday morning.

THE " COAL HOLE" TAVERN. —From an advertise-
ment, which appears in another part
perceive that the proprietor of this lon
far-famed, house—and certainly one of the areable
reunions in London, wherein to pass hour or
two of an evening—has opened his spacious away an
for the winter season. The vocal and singing
-room
music have always been a source of great attraction to
the lovers of melody ; and some new engagements
having been made by the spirited proprietor, as well as
the recent arrangement of the room itself, a rh treat
may be looked forward to every evening during the
suing season.
DEATH of A NOTHER CATCHEENNY.—has become
er
threepenny newspaper, the Tenby Chronicle,
defunct, after an existence of a tew months only at that
price, although it was in being some time previously.
This is the second low-priced or gratuitous paper that
has expired within no very long time.—Sherborne
Journal.
It is intended, we learn, to supersede all the sail-
ing tenders by the appointment of stearaers.—Porteee
Advertiser.

LITERATURE.
PAULINE SF. WAI?D. A Tale of Real Life
2 Vols. Ey John D. Bryant. -
An American story and a religious novel is
" Paulit e Seward." It is of that class of fictitious
compositions of which " Father Clement " and
" Geraldine" are such brilliant specimens—" Father
Clement" as a Protestant enunciation, " Geraldine
as an enunciation of the Roman Catholics. Without
here considering the suitableness of theological dis-
quisitions as adornments of romance, we may observe,
that a novelist who renders his imagination the vchicic
of his religious opinions relieves himself from a very
serious responsibility by advancing his arguments
without either ostentation or partiality, and pro-
pitiates the favour of all readers by avoiding every ap-
pearance of acerbity. In these respects Mr. Bryant
is in no manner culpable. While he evinces a very
large proportion of earnestness, be remains passion-
less before the seductions of fanaticism. his heart is
warm ; his intellect is apparently convinced ; his
fancy is vivid; his hope is unbounded; his faith is
supreme; and his charity is universal. Those who
are sated with the delineations of English scenery and
manners will turn with an indescribable relish to the
pages of" Pauline Seward," in which a new and
almost untrodden field is explored • for those pages
are replete with portraitures of American life,
American characters, and American society. The
greatest novelist among the citizens of the United
States, and one who has a higher title to our consi-
deration as the historian of the American navy—
Fenimore Cooper—has left a considerable track to
the future writers of fiction, seeing that his
attention has been principally confined to
the description of the habits and disposition
of his countrymen on seaboard. In this department
of Transatlantic literature, a new competitor for popu-
larity has recently appeared in the person of Herman
Melville. But hitherto the depictors of the social
condition of the inhabitants of the North American
continent have chiefly restricted themselves to that
style of caricature and exaggeration which has been
rendered agreeable to Europeans by the wit and
shrewdness of Judge Haliburton. Mr. Bryant
has altogether avoided the facetious slang of
Sam Slick and his copyists. He has evidently
ambitioned to write in the graceful and facile
manner of Oliver Goldsmith, or of him whom
Charles Dickens once happily termed " the half-
brother of the author of the Vicar of Wakefield,"
Washington Irving. For this, as well as for the
avoidance of anything like sectarian bigotry, Mr.
Bryant demands our especial commendation. " Pau •
line Seward" may be designated, therefore, with
perfect accuracy, a simple story of real life, by
an intelligent and generous-minded American.
The fortunes of Pauline Seward the heroine,
of Calvin Seward her father, of the orphan
Marie, of Eugene Neville, of Mr. Evelard, of Father
Casali, of Clara Stephens, and the other persons who
take part in the plot, and the dialogues will afford
much entertainment to all who may be merely de-
sirous to wile away a wearisome evening. To those
who are curious upon ethical themes, the purpose of
the book will present a loftier attraction. The
style in which the work is written is easy
and unaffected, with occasionally a display of
forcefulness in language which will appear excel-
lent even under the scrutiny of a fastidious rhetorician.
Without injuring the narrative by giving a cold
synopsis of its plan and construction, we may premise
that the arrangement and purpose of the work is
somewhat similar to that of Thomas Moore's cele-
brated " Travels of an Irish Gentleman in Search of a
Religion." No prose writer of America has yet, to
our knowledge, penned a more graceful or more
unaffected tale than this of " Pauline Seward."

BOHN'S STANDARD LlBRARY.—Lamartine's
History of the Girondists. Vols. I. and IL Trans-
lated by H. T. .Ryde.—Machiavelli's History of Flo-
rence, Prince, and other Works. One Volume.—
Schlegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Life and
the Philosophy of Language. One Volume. Translated
by A. J. W. Morrison.
This admirable and most commendable series is
continued, not merely without any diminution, but
with a perceptible increase both in value and im-
portance. The works selected for republication are
of a more recherchie character than hereto-
fore, and the compactness of the volumes, the
clearness and beauty of the type, and the
remarkable cheapness of the price, are
in consequence the more to be appreciated. Of the
magnificent history, by Alphonse de Lamartine—
" The History of the Girondists"—a work of superb
eloquence, of perpetual beauty, and of impassioned
declamation, we shall say nothing until the present
translation is brought to a close. Our opinion as to
its merits must be reserved for separate consideration
on its completion, for this extraordinary work—one
of the most striking productions of the century—a
work which will attest to posterity that its author was
at once a Great Poet and a Great Historian—
requires more than a merely casual reference ; the
genius of its illustrious writer demands more than
a hurried and superficial criticism. We must here
observe, however, that the English version by Mr.
H. T. Ryde—saving an occasional looseness of dic-
tion, such as the extent of the undertaking renders
excusable—is throughout as faithful as it is condensed
and vigorous. The translation will be completed by
another (the third) volume ; the first being embel-
lished by a portrait of the Destroyer of the
Girondist-, Robespierre, and the second by one of
Madame Roland, the Inspiration of those im-
mortal republicans. For the cheap and popular
reprint of the writings of kNiceolo Machia-
velli the public must esteem itself indebted to the enter-
prise of the publisher. The volume, illustrated
by a likeness of this remakable theorist, com-
prises his luminous narrative of the history
of Florence, and his ever-memorable and ever-
to-be-abhorred treatise " The Prince," accompanied
by several passages from his political correspondence
under the form of an appendix. Celebrated as the
treatise Principe has become, through the odium ex-
cited against it by its accursed arguments, there are
very many among the intelligent and educated por-
tions of the population who have hitherto been
prevented from judging of its atrocity them-
selves in consequence of the scarcity of its
copies. Its publication in the present
serial will, therefore, be considered as a boon, and
will enable the million to estimate the correctness of
that judgment which has heretofore designated the
production as a flagrant embodiment of the most
ruthless and fiend-like depravity. Of the philosophi-
cal lectures of the great Schlegel upon the mysteries
of life and the eccentricities of language, it were
superfluous to say more than that they are here
printed with singular neatness, and at a cost which
renders them accessible to the multitude. By per-
sisting in this sagacity of selection, Mr. Bohn will
render his new adventure, as a publisher, both pro-
sperous and honourable.

SUMMER EXCURSIONS IN THE COUNTY

OF KENT.
Almost every one knows the value of an agreeable
and intelligent companion in a long journey or a
rambling excursion, and almost every one who has
wandered through a museum or a picture gallery can
appreciate the services of a catalogue. The little
volume now before us comprises some of the advan-
tages both of the companion and the catalogue.
Like the latter, it gives us a full and parti-
cular account of every important object that
we may meet with in our wanderings ; and like the
former, it renders those wanderings agreeable by a
constant accompaniment of entertaining remarks and
appropriate anecdotes.
The county of Kent, " from regal-towered
Tharne to Medway smooth," is the scene of the "excur-
sions" in this volume, the beginning of a series
of " Excursions round London," which, judging
from this - first number, is likely to be a
useful and interesting work. Among the places here
described are Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend,
Chatham, Rochester, and others, and they are not
merely glanced over or cursorily described, but every
object of note is pointed out, and much useful infor-
mation introduced ; for example, in the account of
Greenwich Hospital, most of the paintings in the hall
are particularised, and the numbers given so as almost
to obviate the necessity of any other catalogue. Again,
in speaking of the dockyard of Chatham, the process
of ship-building is described—and illustrated by a
diagram. Innumerable anecdotes, poetical, historical,
and miscellaneous, are scattered through the volume,
and constitute its not least amusing feature.
These anecdotes and episodes, although many
may be already well known, have a twofold
advantage in being thus, as it were, related on the
spot, or at least introduced in the description of the
localities to which they refer, as they are thus ren-
dered more comprehensible and interesting for the
time and by the force of the association, they
become better impressed upon the memory. Poetical
quotations of various lengths are to be met with on
almost every other page. The author, anxious to add
to the attraction of his book, has seized every available
opportunity of introducing all interesting matters
having reference to his theme. For instance, in
speaking of the Temple Garden, he interpolates a scene
from " Henry V 1.," in which Shakspere makes
that garden the spot where the rival emblems of
York and Lancaster—the red and white roses—
were first adopted as such. The iron works
at Woolwich and Chatham also give occasion
for the introduction of Dibdin's song of " The An-
chor. smiths," and Bulwer's translation of Schiller's
" Forging of the Anchor." Among the hundred
and forty wood envravings which illustrate this
volume, and some of which are very beautiful ones,
are a panoramic view of the river from 'London-
bridge to Greenwich, Rochester-bridge and Castle,
Wool w ich Dockyard, Gravesend Pier, Ingress
Abbey, and almost every place of historical im-
portance or picturesque effect that a traveller
might meet with in his excursion. One
of the most interesting is a Tin' from Greenwich
