| TEE FEDERALIsT. A commentary on the Consti-
tuition of the United States. A collection Of
| Essays by Alexander Hamilton, Jay and Madi-
son. Also The Continentalst and other pa
| pers, by Hamil on. Edited by John O. Ham
ilton, Philadelphia. J. B. Lippincott b Co.
1854.
It would he praanmptnous, as well as m E
ssasonable, for us to attempt at the present
time review of that remarkable collection
of essays on our Constitution, known as the
Fsderalist. That work has already been
done thousand times. CommendatiOn and
criticism, praise and censure, have been be-
slowed upon it over and over again. As a
political work it has occupied mere attention,
been recognised as of more importance, and
exercised more influence in the decision
Of Constitutional questions and the formation
of pol tical parties, than any other book ever
given to our American public. Men of sll
parties and all views agree that thorough
and thoughtful reading of it is essential to

can Statesman.
1t is le!tonly to US, without attempting to
| discuss the mighty problems which form ths
subject of the Federalist, to remark upon the
excellent manner in which this edi-
ton of it is given to the public. Be-
side the original numbers of the Fed
eralist, which are all reproduced in full, the
volume contains an accurate, extensive and
exceedingly valuable historical review of the
| formation Of the government, and the cir
cumstancss under which the essays were
] --iI4-- -T-----~V,'rIvsTHS Uuer's " Philo
Publius," the Continentalist, and many other
documents of the period. The Articles Of
Confederation, HamiltOn's first draft of a
plan Of government, and the Federal Con-
stitutiOn, as finally adopted, are placed side
by side, for comparison. An index of sub
jects and a collation. of the different texts of
the work add greatly to its value. The
whole is issued in beautiful style. by J. B.
LippinoOtt & Company, making handsome
and substantial volume. Paper and type
are both exquisite.

The first volume of this valuable legal
work lies on our table. 1t is very complete

elected topic. Its arrangement is excellent,
its style clear butnot diffuse, and its citations
of authority ample. No law library is COM

GENERAL BUTLER IN New ORLEANS. By James |
Barton. New York: Mason Brothers. 1854
We have already noticed this invaluable !
contribution to cOtsmpOrsneous history,
from the pen of that most graphic and read
able of biOgraphers, James Parton. The
present edition is one for " the people," be-
ing issued in a very neat and elegant form,
with paper covers, selling for IS cents. For
a "cheap book " it is one of the neatest
specimens of typography which We have ever
examined.
TIE oUTcAsTs; or, the Brand Of Society,"
BY Miss NJ. E. Brsddon. New York: Dick &
Fitzgerald. 1854.
We have no doubt that this, the latest pro-
duction of the most prolific of Fiction writer's,
will be read with fascination and delight by
a very large class of novel dsvOursrs. This
by no means implies that it is work of last
ing and permanent vaIus-nor is it. The
book is hastily written, and, though crowded
full of startling incident, and possessed of
an intricate plot, is SO full of faults as to be
repellant to a cultivated taste. It may afford
the reader excitement, it may interest him
for the hour, but it leaves no lasting impres-
sion. Miss BraddOn is a young and careless
writer. Her faults are glaring, but she pos
iesses extraordinary ability, and will by pa
tience and experience become most excel
ent writer. The present work is issued BY
Dick & Fitzgerald.
NOTES OF HOSPITAL LIFE, from November 1851,
to August 1868 Philadelphia, ]. B. Lippincott
Co., 1854.
If this little book is not hailed as sub
Itantial accession to our literature, and does
lot become widely popular, We are gravsly
mistaken. The " Notes" were jostIed down
rom day to day as private journal, and are
printed only at the instance of friends. But
hey are most interesting and graphic, draw
ngyou close to hospital life, and showing
7ou its varied incidents as plainly as though
Iou really saw them. Proofs of large and
legant culture, of quick discernment, of
.sen sympathy with suffering and hsroism,
nd of true perception of the issues involv-
d in our conflict abound throughout it
ages.
