THE EARLY KINGS OF NoRwAr; and an
Essay ON the Portraits of John Knox.
BY Thomas Carlyle. Published BY Har-
per & Brothers. New York. For sale BY
Georgb Ellis & Brother, NJ. 81 Camp
street, New Orleans.
The subject and the distinguished author
guarantees the value Of this work. His
account of the Kings OF Norway com.
mences with the year 800. and the reign of
Harald Haartagr. 1t il short and tells
much that is new Of the wild days of Nor
way. and Norsemen, with their tragedies.
crimes and heroisms. The essay on the
portraits of Knox makes the great Scottish
preacher appear almost myth. Copies OF
the pictures extant are gwen in the volume
and each ons of the half dozen shown
seems to have been painted from different
face. All traces OF artists who could have
painted such pictures have been lost, and
Carlyle is unable 70 fix within many years
the date OF the preachers probable birth.
which leaves the history OF Knox almost
tradition.
