The Career of Puffer Hopkins. By CORNELIUS MATTHEWS. New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1842.
A BOOK of the school of Dickens, and “designed by the author to be national in its features.” As we are obliged to keep our novels uncut against the rainy days, we have not yet looked far enough into these stories to have an opinion to offer.
THE thinnest of all Mr. Longfellow’s thin books; spirited and polished, like its forerunners; but the topic would warrant a deeper tone.
WE are happy to learn that our modest and far-famed contemporary has a large and increasing subscription.
WE are indebted to English correspondents for some valuable gifts, whose safe arrival is all that we can now acknowledge, though some of them will yet hove from us a considered record, as significant facts in literary and spiritual history. From J. A. Heraud, Esq. we have received three volumes of the Monthly Magazine for 1839, 1840, and 1841. From Hugh Doherty, Esq. the London Phalanx, Volume I. 1041-2, folio. Introduction to English Grammar, on Universal Principles. By Hugh Doherty. Life of Charles Fourier. By Hugh Doherty. Le Nouveau Monde Industriel, 2 vols. 12mo. Bruxelles, 1840. From Charles Bray, Esq. The Philosophy of Necessity. By Charles Bray. 2 vols. 8vo. London, 1841. The second volume of this work contains a valuable appendix, exhibiting the history of the successive social experiments of St. Simon, Fourier, Owen, and others, in Europe and America. From other friends we have received An Inquiry Concerning the Origin of Christianity. By Charles C. Hennell. Second Edition. London, 1841. Christian Theism. By C. C. Hennell. 1 vol. 8vo. Theology of the Old Testament, translated from the German of George Lorenz Bauer.
