The new book of the month which is making the
most noise is the very elegant volume entitled Ioy-
age 6aIs les Msrs du Nord, ETC., by NJ holeskl or,
as he better likes to sign himself Charles Edmond.
In all the noise about the work, there lie some sense.
NJ. EdnOnds description OF the voyage into the
Northern seas, on which the Emperor sent the
Prir ce Napoleon, is quite interesting as ordinary
books of travel in the mere matter OF description.
Beside that the writer Ia led 10 treat ut cOnsdera-
bio length and with consider able Learning and inge-
Duity, the past and present OF Scandinavian nation,
ality. Nothing il more natural than that an exiled
Pole and adopted Frencbman houd present g Sean
dinayianism" in the most favorable light; but II is
only Justice to M Edmond to say that If the light be
colOred by prejudice it shines originally from Well
trimmed historical lamp. The solid value OF the
work is augmented by several appendices contrib
uted by scientific members OF the expedition, by
chart of the voyage, by geological chart OF Ice
land, and BY a number of illustrative engrsvings
after spirited designs taken on the spot BY the
artists in Prince NapOleon's train. 1t will be
seen. from what has Just been said of this
book that as Louis the Fourteenth was great
monarch by virtue Of living cOtempOraneously with
Colbert and I.ouyOs, with FeDelOn and Molere, With
Bossuet and Lafentaine, 90 Prince Napoleon becomes
a DOted traveller and observer In Scotland Norway,
Iceland, Greenland and the Northern Seas, by viz

The Historic dc PEmPereur Nicholas History Of
Emperor Nicholss), by Alpbonse BslIeydier, lie an
extravsgsntly Mandatory account Of tbs late Czsr
of oil the Russiss and bis thirty years reign. As
for Any "phlosopby Of history" these two octave
volumes are worse than worthless; but they abound
in entertaining anecdotes and furnish enough facts
and documents to enable the ju1icious reader to
correct the constant error into which his deyout
spirit of hero-worsbp draws the author.
I pass by several noteworthy recent issues of the
French press, to notice very magnificent edition of
