Mr.. Julian Hawthorne replies tartly to
he defenders Of Margaret Fuller. The
author of the Scarlet Letter, he says in
The Boston Transcript" has been gener-
ally conceded the possession Of deep and
peculiar insight into human uature.. But
when. in 4 speculative moment he happens
10 turn this penetrating glance upon a Ger
tain rolubIe and self righteous New-England
FINALE, a chorus sTises OF 'blundering,
clumsy malicious, narrow, false, and
he is no longer allowed the possession OF
even ordinary eve sight. The members OF
the chorus, on the other hand, who were
never suspected Of insight till now, sudden
Nv svoueh their vast superiority in that re

thorne begins to regret that he printed the
offending paragraph;-it would have saved

DR.. Holiness Emerson has been re
eeiyed with enthusiasm in England. The
Iondon Telegraph says that 1T is certain
that Mr.. John Morley and the able contriOu
tors whom he has enlisted to write the lives
of English Men Of Letters, will have to be-
stir themselves if many such books should
snnear upon the other side Of the Atlantic
As for Emerson himself, The Telegraph
adds: The character, disposition, and
genius Of Emerson are as yet but little IN
derstood and appreciated by the vast mass
of ENGLISH readers to whom the peculiarly
appeal His soul was ike a star, and dwell
apart so many years will probably eiaPse
before this country can be in q position to
guage the weight and extent Of its lnde6t-
edness to one OF the purest ana lotuest
thinkers that the present century has pro-
duced.
An early and hitherto unknown Arabic
work has lately been added to the British
Museum Library. Ii is entitled "hltah-at
Mohabbir," and contains various historical
notices and traditions relsting to the ancient
Arabs and to the time Of Mohammed and his
immediate successors. The author Abu Said
al Hasan aLSukkeri, lived in the third cen
turv of1he Hirah. and is well known as one
Of the earliest editors and commentators Of
the old poets, but the present work appears
somehow 10 nave escaped notice; II IS mel
Their mentioned in the Fihrist, nor BY lbn
Khalikan or SoSud. The two last named
authors state that ALSukkar died \. Il.
275; but according to Ibu Kani (Leyden
Catalogue volume H., page 81 he lived on
10 A. II. 290. The present work would show
that the former date is decidedly wrong, tor
II contains a brief sketch Of the AbbaSides,
brought down By AlSukkarl himself to the
Accession of ALNo'tadid / e, A. H.. 279.
