Letters from New York. By L. M. CHILD.
WE should have expressed our thanks for this volume in the last number of the Dial, had the few days, which intervened between its reception and the first of October, permitted leisure even to read it. Now the press and the public have both been beforehand with us in awarding the due need of praise and favor. We will not, however, refrain, though late, from expressing a pleasure in its merits. It is, really, a contribution to American literature, recording in a generous spirit, and with lively truth, the pulsations in one great centre of the national existence. It is equally valuable to us and to those on the other side of the world. There is a fine humanity in the sketches of character, among which we would mention with especial pleasure, those of Julia, and Macdonald Clarke. The writer never loses sight of the hopes and needs of all men, while she faithfully winnows grain for herself from the chaff of every day, and grows in love and trust, in proportion with her growth in knowledge.
The Present. Nos. 1-6. Edited by W. H. CHANNING.
MR. CHANNING’S Present is a valiant and vivacious journal, and has no superior in the purity and elevation of its tone, and in the courage of its criticism. It has not yet expressed itself with much distinctness as to the methods by which socialism is to heal the old wounds of the public and private heart; but it breathes the air of heaven, and we wish it a million readers.
President Hopkins’s Address before the Society of Alumni of Williams College, August, 1843.
WE have read with great pleasure this earnest and manly discourse, which has more heart in it than any literary oration we remember. No person will begin the address, without reading it through, and none will read it, without conceiving an affectionate interest in Williams College.
Deutsche Schnellpost.
THIS paper, published in the German language twiee a week in New York, we have read for several months with great advantage, and can warmly recommend it to our readers. It contains, besides its lively feuillttons, a good correspondence from Paris, and, mainly, very well selected paragraphs from all the German newspapers, communicating important news not found in any other American paper, from the interior of the continent of Europe. It is edited with great judgment by Eichthal and Bernhard; and E. P. Peabody, 13 West street, is their agent in Boston.
