We have from Mess rssEll Ticlxnor q
Fields, publishers at Boston, another
specimen of their ability to chsapen,
beautify, illustrate and popularize the
choice literature of our language. We
mentioned fewdays ego the receipt of
their pamphlet compile aaon 81 Alfred

Now we hayeta pamphlet edition OF
lyrics by John G, /, shittie 4Ethe ser +
poet-+whol has so long tuned. his harp
for the right against the wrong; and
who is distinctively Known as the, anti

NtesspsI TfclSnor a. Field have issued
the last literarS Henry sD.l
Thoreau, under the. title of ss'Lettets to
Various Persons" !" In this volume we
have some fifty communications by
Thoreau to friendsa and relatives written
between 1910 and 1862, the year. of his
death. They embrace reflections OH all
topics, and will find all the readers of
this kindly writer quite as interested in
the subjects and matter of them, as
those individuals to whom they were
originally addressed. ,Atthe end of the
book are also, some poems by Thoreau.
From one of the 'Ietters'' we select the
following odd discussion upon a theme
pleasant to most all minds: that of

an ordeal more rigid than any other.

Inlove and friendship the imagination
is as much exercised as the heart: and
