New Publications.
New MIscELLANIEs, by Charles Kingsley
have been published by Ticknor & Fields
They fill a handsomely printed duodecimo vol
ume of 375 pages, and consist of papers from
Fraser's Magazine and the North British Re
view, with several addresses and lectures
There is one paper on Bunyans Pilgrim
Progress, and another on that old novel, "The
Fool of Quality" Some of these papers are
in Kingsey's best vein. The first, entitled
GA Mad World, My Masters" is on sanitary
reform and the difficulties that interfere to OBJ
struct it. 1t is particularly good, and should
be circulated, not only in London and the
larger English towns and cities, but also in
every other place where sanitary reform is
needed. Among the other articles, there is
one on alexander Smith and Alexander
Pope" which appeared in Fraser's Magazine,
in October, 1858. 1t is a review of Smiths
poems, and their reception by the critics, and
is one of the best things in the book.
"ToM BROWN AT OXFORD" a sequel to
"School Days at Rugby" by Thomas Hughes
is republished in this country by Ticknor &
Fields in parts. Parts l. and ii. have been
issued
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for February has
been issued, as is for sale, as usual, by S.
Thompson & Co The first article, Counting
and Measuring" would be admirable as an
accompaniment to a work on arithmetic, and
therefore will be useful here. Some of the
writer's views may not find general accept
ance, for he is a little Visionary" and
especially so in his belief that there will be a
"My Last Love" is very well written, but it
teaches one very unwholesome lesson, namely,
that it is honorable" to falsity and desecrate
the most important institution of society, in
order to keep bad promise, which was made
inconsiderately, "under outside pressure"
The keeping of such promise is immortality
and sacrilege "Roba d Roma, "The Am
Der Gods" and THE Professors Story" are
continued. There is in this number very
excellent article on 'tThe Maroons of Jamaica, .
which nobody who opens the magazine should
fail to read. We believe it was written by
Rev. T. w. Higgiuson. And there is a sketch
entitled "Some Account OF a Visionary"
which is good. There are two good poems in
this number, ''The Shetland. Shawl" and "The
Truce of Piscataqua" which shows very
plainly who wrote it and there is also kind
of Emersonian cattle piece in two stanzas.
| The Atlantic was never before so worthy of a
wide circulation, and, in the hands of Messrs.
Ticknor & Fields, its prosperity seems to be
assured

teenth Century" &c. Edited by her brother
Arthur b. Fuller. Boston: Brown, Taggard
6 Chase, publishers. The name of Margare
Fuller is likely to be remembered in our litera

much as what she might and would have done
with that fuller development and that inspir
ing serenity of SOUL TO which she was ap
preaching at the time of her death by ship
wreck. Therefore she herself is more to u

are among the most suggestive and magneti
