MRS. sIGoURNEY's AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

LETTERS OF LIFE. BY Mrs. l.. II. sieouRsrr. limo
Up. "a ID. Appleton Co.
The place of Mrs. Sigonrney in American li,crs-
turo is decided by tho number and the variety Of
her productions, rather than by any tokens OF re-
markabo vieor or originality. She was certainly
one of the most fertile OF our native writers both
in prose and verse. She began her literary career
in early youth and continued ii to extreme old age.
Her pcn was scarcely ever idle. She had a natural
instinct for composition which rarely permitted her
to rest. She was never at loss for subject, nor
lacked materials for it's illustration. Her style in.
dicstcs an almost incredible facility in writing.
The number Of her published works amounts 10
more than fifty, beside several thousand articles
contributed 70 various magazines. The highest
prase that can be given TO her productions is their
singulxly pure and elevated moral tone, their deep
sympathy with everything noble, generous, and re-
fined. and their chasteness and frequent beauty OF
exoressiop. This is a tribute 90 her character,
which with her modest estimate of herself and the
sensitive decacy of her conscience, We are sure
would have been more grateful to her own feelings,
than any cxtravagant eulogy Of her genius, which
abe would have eagerly dischimed. Her long life
was devoted to higher objects than the pursuit OF
f,me. She aimed at usefulness rather than at bril-
liancy. The performance of duty was of more in
teres TO her than the gifts Of intellect or tho love
Of distinction Yet the record Of her life as given
in this srtless narrative by her own hand has very
Iconsiderablo attractions. Indeed, We apprehend,
that it will be found to possess greater charm in
the eyes Of the public than most OF her writings
which were issued during her life. IL has been ju-
diciousy edited by ono Of her daughters and shows
none Of the defects which often attach TO postum
nous works. In addition to merely personal de-
tails, It abounds in picturesque sketches Of social
lfo in Connecticut, which are valuable for the H.
deity and o1pressivenes' Of their local colorins as
well as for their pleasant illustrations of her own
character. Here il touch OF rural experience ID

JAMES LOFTS PETlGRU. BioGRAPHrcAL sKETon
By WILLIAM J. ORAYsoy. l2mo. Up. lao. Harper
Bro'Lsri.
The eminent man Of whose life a fragmentary
ou,l lie is presented in this posthumous narrative.
will long be remembered for the graces and charms
of his private character no less than for his devoted
loyalty TO the cause Of the Union at the very hight
of Southern excitement and infatuation. Dis
inguished for his legal acumen, his literary accom-
plshmcnts, and his admirable personal qualities, he
commanded O wide influence in his native State,
and was courted and beloved as one of the most
brilliant ornaments of society in Charleston. From
the first, he was decided opponent of the revolu-
tionary doctrines of Mr.. Calhoun. He always
maintained firm resistanceto the South Carolinian
schemes Of notification and secession. Upon the
breaking out of the Rebellion, he notly adhered to
his principles. Among the prominent men IN
Charleston he stood alone as tho advocate Of the
Union. Yet he possessed so much personal attrac-
ton and influence, that no hand was raised against
him. The weight of his character dlsarned the
malignity Of the reign of terror. His death took
place in the Spring of 1863, and the present memoir
was drawn up soon after hy one of his oldest and
most intimate friends, who followed him to the
grave before its publication. 1t is now issued I'M
der the editorial superintendent of gentleman in
this city and forms interesting, although mper-
feet tribute to the memory Of the departed
striking portrait of Mr. Pctigru forms an appro-
priate frontispecc 10 the volume.

Mrs. Sigouney, it will be seen, writes out of the
,fullDcss of good heart. She has no haughteur,
little reserve and is free from the skillful nenesses
which a less natural person would have used in
speaking of ones SELF She pours out her feelings
as if trusting in the sympathy of friendly circle,
with 10 fear of dainty and scornful critics before
her eyes. Her childlke confidence Of feeling, and
odd union Of the naive and the artificial in her
style, stamp the volume as peculiar, almost
unique, production. She had vein Of spOrtiycness,
not quite amounting to humor, in her composition,
which frequently jets out in these pages, but in
rather too elaborate form, to have uniformly
pleasing effect. The account Of the last days of
Mrs. Sigouney by the editor presents beautiful
and touching 1t is written with greatfeeliDg
and simplicity without the exaggeraton SO COM
mon in memorials of the dead. The tendency of
the whole volume is to place the character of her
revered relative in most favorable light and it will
perhaps form more impressive monument to her
womanly excellence, than any of the other produc-
tons of her pen.
