L rTER,ITURE.

Too Years in Switzerland and Italy. By Frederika
Bremer, translated by Mary Howitt. 2 vols.
Hurst and Blaekett.

The writings of this delightful authoress are
always welcome objects, and in the translation of
Mary Howitt, they cannot lose much, since this
book before us tis replete with vigour and vivacity,
fresh, free, and natural in its style To wander over
lands in company with one of earth's grand spirits
who looks on sublimity with a kindred soul and
worships beauty at nature's altar with rapt enthu-
siasm and kindling zeal, is always a great privilege.
In these volumes there is much to attract the atten-
tion from the varied themes descanted upon. The
first one treats of Switzerland, and the latter relates
to Italy. Notwithstanding the universal import-
ance that lately accrues to all pertaining to Italy,
there is something more genial and grateful to
the mind in the accounts given of Switzer-
land. The gifted authoress thus commences
her subject —" There is a small country
situated in the heart of Europe. . Its cir-
cumference is insignificant, and insignificant is
its population compared with the powerful States
which surround it—France, Germany, and Italy ;
but its mountains are the highest in Europe, and
there the mightiest European rivers have their head
waters. The people—a pastoral people—have stood
foremost in the battle for what constitutes the most
valuable treasures of all people—political freedom
and freedom of conscience." The language is every-
where clear and explicit, and occasionally the
reader meets with passages of great eloquence as
some scene in particular strikes the fancy or arrests
the gaze. It is a most desirable study to dwell
on the scenes that these pages contain. Often as
the Helvetian soil has served us as a theme for tra-
dition, legend, tale, or song, there seems something
ever new,in its contemplation by a:superior mind and
cultivated intellect; something lofty as its Alpine
heights pervades its being—something fresh as its
everlasting snows animates its attributes. It is
difficult among so many gems of thought to choose
any one particular piece for notice, but these pas-
sages are among the most artistically arranged
and vividly described.
