De Mouy: Don Carlos et Philippe II. 12mo. M. de Mouy approaches the vexed question of the death of Don Carlos with the determination to unravel the mystery, and, with this object, has spared no trouble in the examination of MSS. of the period. Of his conclusion the reader must judge. It must be conceded, however, that his zeal in his subject has induced him to make such a profuse use of his materials as to render his production obnoxious to the reproach of tediousness. Sainte-Beuve: Noveaux Lundis.

18mo.

Those readers who retain a recollection of this author's "Causeries du Lundi" will welcome a continuation, with a slight variation of title, of that piquant and instructive publication. Some six or seven volumes are promised. They are reproductions in book form of a series of weekly feuilletons from the Constitutionnel, as also were the "Causeries du Lundi." A quaint jumble of the turns of expression of the 16th and of the 19th centuries, characteristic of Sainte-Beuve's style, presents the form of a new language, which Balzac pleasantly named "the Sainte-Beuve." His literary judgments are to be received with caution, when his laudation of Fanny and of Madame Bovary are called to mind. Does the praise of such material result from a tendency to paradox, or from an amiable disposition? Blanchère: Répertoire encyclopédique de Photographie, comprenant par ordre alphabétique tout ce qui a paru en France et à l'étranger depuis le découverte, &c. 2 vols. 8vo.

Both the professor and the amateur of this popular art are under great obligations to M. Blanchère, who certainly has exhausted his subject. The matters treated of are arranged alphabetically, which facilitates reference. The work, however, is perhaps liable to the censure of being too bulky.

Monaghan: Etudes critiques sur l'Angleterre. 12mo. Ten years' residence, with official position, in England, gave the author opportunities, of which he has thoroughly availed himself, of making an interesting book, particularly of that portion of it relating to Ireland.

Mezières: Prédécesseurs et Contemporains de Shakspeare. 8vo.

The Shaksperian mine seems to be as inexhaustible as the Homeric. At one time the monopoly of the Shakspeare "diggings" was in the hands of the English and Germans; but of late the French have set to work with great energy, and if they go on as they have begun, their critical labors will soon rival those of their predecessors. This is M. Mezières's second publication upon the subject, and, though it presents nothing novel to those previously familiar with the rich body of German and English Shakspearian literature, will be read with interest. 8vo. Vacquerie: Miettes de l'Histoire.

This is a happy pendant to the author's "Profils et Grimaces," signalizing the humorous points of history, as the "Profils" did those of criticism. His hits at his contemporaries are sharp and amusing. A very pleasant episode occurs in the volume in the form of a visit to the island of Jersey, the home of Victor Hugo, the coryphæus of the romantic school, of which Vacquerie was an early disciple.

Glaive des Couronnes: Roman traduit de l'Arabe par le Docteur Perron. 12mo.

The scene of this romance is laid in the East, at the period of the terrible wars which resulted in the triumph of Mohammedanism, and may be safely taken as a correct picture of the state of society at that stirring epoch. The reader will remark traits of resemblance in the feats of arms here vividly described and those of the contemporary Western

chivalry, in which, however, the couleur locale of the Oriental scenes is retained. Estradève (le Docteur): Massage; son Historique, ses Manipulations, ses Effets physiologiques et thérapeutiques. Roy. 8vo.

As the word "massage" occurs in but few Frenchand-English dictionaries, its meaning-shampooing may as well be given. Much curious research upon the history in ancient and in modern times, upon the subject of his monograph, is displayed by the author. Many valuable hints are given as to the cases when the process should and when it should not be applied.

GERMAN LITERATURE.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.

"BIBLIOGRAPHY is to the literary student what the light-house is to the mariner," says TRÜBNER, in his excellent Bibliographical Guide to American Literature, a book which is so full of valuable information that it should be the favorite companion of every American bookseller. Germany is busily building such "light-houses" wherever they can be in the slightest degree useful. Indeed, we have the promise of a "light-house of light-houses." Dr. J. PETZHOLDT, a veteran in the bibliographical field, having been for many years the editor of the Anzeiger für Bibliographie u. Bibliothekwissenschaft, announces a new work, under the title Bibliotheca bibliographica,-a bibliography of bibliography.

This bibliography will be distinguished from other mere records of titles by the addition of analytical notes and critical remarks. No work could be more welcome to the librarian and to the bookseller. As some time may yet pass, however, before this important work will leave the hands of its careful editor, it will perhaps be well to give an enumeration of the most prominent bibliographical guides lately published, and forthcoming, in Germany. Pointing out principally such as have proved to be reliable and useful, we may dispense, in some instances, with special criticism, and recommend them in general.

A most useful and time-saving work, which unites in one the classified indexes contained in the popular semi-annual catalogues published by Hinrichs in Leipsic, dividing, however, the 35 departments of Hinrichs's catalogues into 437 distinct classes, and adding an alphabetical index of subjects, giving, besides, nearly 4000 titles from collective works which are not specified in Hinrichs.

GRAEFE, CARL. Die Hippologische Literatur von 1848 bis einschliesslich 1857. 8. Brockhaus, Leipzig. (In press.)

A list of all works in relation to the horse, published from 1848 to 1857, with biographical notices of the authors.

The last number, being the 22d of this laborious publication, includes the names Marco-Meneses. The work will form a worthy companion or supplement to BRUNET and LOWNDES. Whilst BRUNET is the most complete guide to the treasures of French, Italian, and Spanish literature, and LOWNDES Confines itself exclusively to books printed in or relating to Great Britain and Ireland, GRAESSE excels in the information he gives respecting Northern, Slavonic, and Oriental, and especially the Teutonic literature.

HAGEN, DR. H. A. Bibliotheca entomologica. Bd. L. Gr. 8. XII. and 566 pp. Leipzig, 1862. Engelmann. 3 thlr. 10 ngr.

Like the Bibliotheca Zoologica, published but a year ago by the same enterprising firm, this is a masterwork of bibliography. None but a scholar who with the greatest bibliographical skill and industry combines a thorough knowledge of his special science, could produce so correct and reliable a work, which comprises the complete literature of Entomology. The first volume contains, in alphabetical order, the authors from A to M, with the addition of short biographical notices. A classified

Volumes I.-XII. embrace the long period between 1700 and 1856; Volume XIII., which will probably be finished in the course of this year, brings it down to 1861. No other catalogue has been compiled, in any country, with more exactitude and minuteness than the present, especially in its latter parts. It gives the full title, place and date of publication, name of the publisher, size, number of pages, price, &c., of every book, down to the smallof this forthcoming volume is ROBERT HEUMANN. est pamphlet, published in Germany. The editor WILHELM HEINSIUS, under whose name the work has been continued, started it in the year 1793. He

died in 1817.

KLUEPFEL, K. Literarischer Wegweiser für gebildete Laien. 5. Nachtrag. Leipzig, 1862. XXXII. and 77 pp. 20 ngr.

This is the fifth supplement to SCHWAB u. KLÜPFEL's Wegweiser durch die Literatur der Deutschen,— "A Guide to the Literature of Germany,"-which entered its third edition in 1861. This work has been received so favorably that Klüpfel was induced, since 1853, to publish a supplement every two years They are very valuable guides for the general reader. The carefully selected books recorded therein are accompanied by short but characteristic notices. A condensed and clear general review of the recent German literature precedes the supple

ments.

PETZHOLDT, J. Kritische Uebersicht der naturwissenschaftlichen Bibliographie. 8. 45 pp. Dresden, 1862. Schönfeld. 10 ngr.

A critical review of the bibliography of the Natural Sciences. We apparently have here a fine specimen of the material the author is collecting for his larger work above mentioned. The wellknown accuracy of the author insures the merit of this little pamphlet.

POTTHAST, AUGUST. Bibliotheca historica medii ævi. Wegweiser durch die Geschichtswerke des Europäischen Mittelalters von 375-1500, etc. 8. 1011 pp. Berlin. Kastner & Co. 6 thlr.

This work is undoubtedly as important to the historian as to the bibliographer. It is superior to any thing we have ever had in historic bibliography. Particularly valuable is that portion of the work under the title Vita, which embraces a complete index of the Acta Sanctorum, the need of which has been much felt. The second part of the work contains, as appendix, all the sources of the history of Europe during the Middle Ages.

REUMONT, A. Bibliografia dei lavori pubblicati in

A bookseller who wants a library for practical use in his profession could not find a better guide than this judiciously compiled catalogue. It gives only works of merit, and is particularly rich in the historic literature of the book-trade and typographic art. This catalogue is a separate reprint of the last part of ROTTNER's Lehrbuch der Contor
