rRost THE PEOPLES FRIEND.

TIE American Republic of Letters is
shortly to be enriched with book from the
pen oi a native genius, which is now in the
press of Messrs. Conrad & Co. of Philadel-
phia. 1t purports to be translation from
the original Greek of an Athenian author,
and is TO be entitled MEMOIRS OF ANA
CREoN. Somewhat about them, or some
parts of them, have, III we are not greatly
mistaken, been published in that admirable
work, the " PoRT-FOLIo." We rcmem-
Der to have been much struck with them,
land to have thought them elegant and fan
'ciful, and evidently the production of mind
fraught with classical taste and erudition.
i he author, if we err not, is the same who,
sometime in the last year, favored the pub
lie and the Port Folio with the publication
of a happy English version of att elegant
Greek ODE Of MoouE's, under the sigma
ture Of SEDLEY. If our conjecture on these
points be correct, we think VIC run no hd-
zard in promising the lovers OF literature
much pleasure from the perusal of these
