view. It will be remembered that Sir John Bowring
suffered the lore Of his papers, cOect ,ns, &c. by the

The new Government Of Tuscany is Signalling
its existence by ordering the publication of complete
edition Of the works of MscchiavelE to be edited
by two distinguished scholars CCanettrina and Poll
dr), under the direction of the Home Minister, and
brought out at the public expense. This is called
lone re suit of the re-awskening of italian Liberty"
but the choice of the Apostle of Dsspotism" seems
curious one if anything more than general literary
sympathy with him, national classic, is to be I'M
derstood.
The success Of cheap literature is not confined to
one country. The Boomers" are cosmopolitan, as
late instance shows in England where Mr. George
Bigg, proprietor Of The Family Herald, has lstely
died leaving fortune of $35O,OOO, made by that
publication the greater part Of which is bequsathed
to Pnters Aims Houses, and other charitable founda-
TONS Tie Family Herald has always been noted for
its extensive Answers to Correspondents and the
ael ton paid to that department is the main cause Of
it's enormous circulation among the middle classes,
with whom it's authority is unbounded on the deli
cate dlemmas that occur in questions of courship
and marriage and affairs Of the heart So different
are social habits in England and America, that Mr..

Matthews, the father of the eminent comedian, con-

"A beautiful application of Photography, is shown
in an elegant volume published by George Leavitt
& Co., w.York, The Book Of Rdphoefs Madon~ds.
IL is illustrated with fourteen exquisite Photographic
impressions executed by uffuagel Of the most cele-
baed pictures of Raphael as they have been rendered
by the chief epgravers Of the world As they are all
reduced to one cabinet size, the engravngs seem to
gain in brilliancy by dimnution, and really novel
and beautiful effect is produced. MIR. Geo. p Putnam
Was the first to apply to book illustration the pro-
ceases of the Photographic art in the Homes Of Amer
ican Statesmen. 1t was then in its infancy but the
success of the present undertaking shows to what
valuable uses it may be put.
The happy few who have thousands to spare for
photographed rarites, at Boston and elsewhere,
are Indignant at the withdrawal from auction sale Of
the Crowninshied Library, advertised for public
competition on Nov. and three following days. 1t
has been sold in one lot to Mr. Henry Stevens OF Lon
don for s. 900. The collection 10 small in extent, the
catalogue embracing less than 200 lots, but unsur'
passed for the rarity and beautiful condition OF the
books. Most of them relate to the early history Of
New England and Amsrics, and among them are
many volumes of the highest interest, almost or quito
unique Mr.. Stevens was the principal agent Of Mr.
Crownnshied in his purchases so that he is well &C.
ausinted with the value of the books, and most Of
them will ultimately find their way into the possession
of collectors with wellstorsd pockets in this country
II is question whether faith is not broken with the
public when so special an announcement is nullhsd,
and in the general opinion of connossieurs much
much larger sum would have been realized had the
sale taken place as proposed.
Sir Buwer Lytton is receiving the honor usually
deferred to posthumous occasion, in the appearance
Of Uniform Library Edition OF his Novels, in the
same style as the well-known editions of Scott 1t is
now in preparation by Messrs Blackwood OF Edin-
burgh, each novel to be comprised in volumes, the
whole set 10 extend TO i3 volumes issued at monthly
intervals The literary fecundity Of the Hon. Baronet
is remarkable. As originally issued these novels must
have filled nearly IS volumes, and his miscellaneous
writings, poems reviews and magazine articles would,
if collected certainly extend the number to 10 vol
ulnes; and these from man who has filed no incon-
siderable position in the social and political world and
who is STILL people count in England far from the
sere and yellow leaf ard fully capable Of great intel
lectual activity.
