New Books.

a History of the Character and Achiece-
ments Of The So.called Christopher Coluns.
Jus. BY AARON GOODRICH. New York:
D. APPLETON d. Co.
This is the book which undertakes to dis
solve all the charms and dscredit all the his
tory that make COLUMBUS hero and great
discoverer. The author styles the long-be.
lieved.in great man ""the so-caHed CHRIS.
TOPPER COLUMBUS" There is suficiency
in the work to satisfy US that GOODRICH
made it special job to write down the so.
long famed discoverer. Such men as this
author have frequently appeared. Men have
eudeavored to show that HOMER never was,
that julius CESAR was myth, that
SHAKESPEARE never wrote his plays, and
that BoNAPARTE never fought his bat
ties. GoopRIoH undertakes to prove to the
world that COLUMBUS was nobody, and
the histories about him, so long believed, are
frauds. Well, we suppose GOODRICH is to be
belle we'd because he lives SO long after Co
LUMsus! PETER FARLEY was great ro-
mancer and great bigot, and we suspect that
GooDalcH is of the family of PETER. We
conjecture he will write in vain against the
faith of the world in the existence and deeds
of CoLuaBUs. Even il that belief is un-
founded, it is too pleasant and too long en-
tertained to be surrendered to the reasoning
of A. GoorRIcH. This AARON has imagined
1t easier to pull down fame than to win it.
Probably either undertaking would be fruit
less with him.
