TEE CAMPASER thai and other writings. From
the German Of Jean Paul Friedrich Richter,
Boston: Teknor 4 Fields. 1854.
Albeit sometimes a little indefinite and
vague, this translation of Richter's great and
final work renders very faithfully the spirit
Of the author. His delightful simplicity,
whenever be chooses to assume it, his origi-
nality, his strong humanity, his delicate love
for all nature,-all these qualities of the be-
loved Jean Paul are trsnsparently evident
in this collection The " Campaner Thai 1"
itself was Richter's last contribution to lit
eraturs. he died while engaged, in recent
and almost total blindness, in enlarging and
remOdelling it, and the unfinished manu-
script was borne upon his coffin to the burial
vault. Besides this work the volume before
Us contains the " Life of QGintus Fixlein,"
" schruslzls's journey to FIatz," and a
number Of anaIsets and miscellaneous pieces,
among which is found that beautiful essay
on the " Happy Life Of Parish Priest in
Sweden" The readers Of 4" Titan and
"Lsvana will not fail to add this work to
their collection Of Richter's writings. It is
issued in style uniform with the works above
mentioned.

We have already spoken of the general
character of this popular Encyclopedias, now
bsing published in parts selling for twsn.y
cents each, by Chambers in Great Britain,
and J. B. Lippincott & Company, in this
country. For popular work, it is the best
Of its class we have ever examined. KnowI-
sdge is never stationary, and an encyclope-
1ia twenty, ten, or even FIVE wears old is ne
,essarily more or less defective in its scien-
tifc, historical, biographical, typographical,
and literary information. The present work
has the advantage over sll others Of being
he most recent and the most completely cup
70 the times" of any yet Published. The
parts before rs give information on all sub
scts between "LOretto" aud 'Msrbls," in
alphabetical order.

.ED-TAPE AND PIGEoN- HOLE GENERALS: As seen
from the ranks, during campaign in the Army
Of the Potomac. By Citizen-Soldier. New /
York; Carleton Publisher. 1854.
A very readable and entertaining book,
bis, half-fact, half fiction, if we may Judge
'Om its contents,-giving graphic and live
? sketches of life in the Army of the Poto-
lac and the scenes, characters, events and
onVsrsstions incident to it,-and caricatur-
lg with deserved satire the rsd-tape and
igeOn-hOle prOpensitiss of too many of the
igher officers in that army-of the Fitz
ohm Porter and Mcclellan school. The
ritter is evidently what he claims to be-a
tizen- soldier-With strong love for his
,untry and freedom, and strong hatred of
ibsls, ceppsrhesds and haIf-loyaI regular
Hcsrs.

These "lyrics," from the pen of the young
ID talented Henry Howard BroWneIl, are
: no means faultless. In fact they are full
faults. They would hardly be newspaper
'etry" If they were not. But they have
e great and redeeming quality of being
