The Literary Record is full; among the books

new translations of the Eneid, and De Ami

with lively and amusing anecdotes. In fact
the hardest thing that can with any justice be

The Western is magazine published BIZ
monthly by Messrs. G. 1. Jones & Co., of st.
Louis, and edited by Mr.. III. I'll. Morgan. The
number for September October contains an
historical sketch of Frederick Hohenstauffen
the Second, written by Mr. A. E. Kreger. In
course of this article is curious description OF
the manners of the Minnesingers, with speci-
mems of their poetry-the translations of verses
not very smooth in meter or fortunate in word
ing As a whole, the article has merit and
historic interest. Snow Mist is poem with
good atmosphere" little Impractical in
style. The Artist and his Purpose, by Mr..
Cyrus Cobb, is written with honesty and good
sense. Mr.. G Bloode writes a Linguistic
Revere, and is right in admiring the harmo-
MES of English speech; while he appears to be
very poorly acqu ainted with the Italian Ian
guage which he dogmatically disparages. His
processes of criticism are decidedly fanciful.
The Bachelor-Poet and the Peasant Girl is a
reminiscence of Halleck. Mr.. w. w. Bryant
writes paper setting forth the views of Hegel
upon Esthetics. Book Reviews and Current
Notes conclude the magazine.
