BEECHER's MAGAZINE is also TO hand
with very choice table Of contents.
The ECLECTIC MAGAZINE for August is
! to hand. It is cmbelIished by fine por>
trait of Louis XIV, which is intended as rhe
first Of a series TO illustrate what the French
French Monarchy. Louis is to be followed by
Molcre, and the series will include Cornelllc
and Racine, these three being the greatest
dramatists that France has produced. 1t s
thought by the Publisher that such a series
cannot but be more interesting, as it IS GER
tainly more permanently valuable, than pOr>
traits OF men rho at the moment may be
the "cynosute of all eyes," but who will
hare gone out of the worlds memory almost
before the volume which contains them can
be- bound
Louis XIV. was really great man, as the
| world judges of greatness, and he is doubt
less one OF the most imperial figures that
ever strutted and fretted his brief hour upon
! the stage of human history. 1t is peculiarly
appropriate, TOO, that he should be associated
with the great litterateurs Of his period; for,
long after the world has ceased to care for
his battles and his conquests, it will recollect
that in an age when literary men did not
stand at the front as they do now, he be-
friendcd Moliere and pensoncd La Fontaine
The Contents Of the Magazine this month
presents the solid and the entertaining in
about equal proportions, and there ought to
be something for the most varied tastes.
