LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

next Rev. L. r. TYLER is to be the principal
business Editor and is to have the aid of Rev
Drs. HAwgs and BUSHNELL Of Hartford, Rev L.
Bacon OF New-H Haven, and Prof. LARNGD of Yale
College. The design would seem, as nearly as
we can Judge, to make it a miscellaneous maya
zine. since it is neither theological, scientific nor
confined to any one SUBJECT Each number will
contain $50 pages octave, and the price Of the
work will be Three Dollars per annum.
We learn from an article in the Democratic Re
view that RICHARD kEEsE, Esq. of this city has
in preparation, and nearly ready FOR the prces,
work under the title Of Memoirs of Printers and
Booksellers who have become eminent Publishers
Such work, enlivened by the copious anecdotes
and sketches which would abundantly crowd the
compiler's path, and marked by the elegance of
Mr. Keeses style, would be a worthy addition to
lighter American Literature. We understand that
the author has already devoted to the work much
time and careful attention He is well known to
the public as the Editor OF the two fine volumes of
the Poets Of America, which, with their graceful
Illustrations, among the most elegant works
produced by the American press.
ID. r.,
ESQ., of Albany, has committed to press volume
of his Collected Poems. Few poets of any age
have written pleasing sketches of nature than
Mr.. Street Landscape painting is his forte and,
although not of the highest order of poetic excel
lence, his productions uniformly possess great
merit Few American poems have enjoyed or
deserved wider admiration than his poem on
the Grey Forest Eagle, published originally in the
Knickerbocker. His volume is in the press of
Mr. Hooker, in Philadelphia
We are anxiously awaiting the announcement
that the great Church History Of the German Ne
AMBER, translated by Professor ToRREY of the
University of Vermont, has been committed to the
press Of some of our leading publishers; for it is
work of the highest value and, in the elegant
dress which the classic pen of Professor Torey
has given it, would prove one of the most popular
works of its class ever published in this country.
Ii would of course find its way Immediately to the
Library of every theological student and general
scholar We know not what arrangements for its
publication have been made; but we trust it will
not be brought out in inferior style
The Gift Books for the coming holydays will
soon be in the market. The GIFT, for 1343, in

Sigourney and Mrs. Seba Smith, are among the
literary contributors, and the engravngs from
pictures by Mabone, Huntingdon, Inman, Sully,
Cheney and Chapman. The TOKEN, after an ex-
stence of fourteen years, is finally discontinued.
The only ANNALS published in Boston for the en-
suing year are the RELIGIOUS SOUVENIR, edited
BY Mr. Shepherd, and The ROSE OF SHARON, the
YEARLY remcmbrancer of the Universalists, which
we have before noticed. Several beautiful vol

The Langleys of this city have in press and will

3 NORMAN, Of New Orleans, who has just returned
IRON, that land of deep and mysterious interest,"
The work of Stephens excited in tkis country
vide sensation by its startling Developments, and
I has, we DOUBT not, prompted many persons, per-
haps better fitted for the strict investigation OF the
subject, 10 undertake its examination. We are
not acquainted with the peculiar qualifications OF
