N.B.-All the Books named in this and previous Numbers are described from actual examination, and every work is either in the possession or has passed through the hands of MESSRS. TRÜBNER & Co.

An article in the January number of the Cornhill Magazine gives an interesting account of two volumes of poems by the present distinguished ruler of Sweden and Norway, Charles XV., a king who, to borrow the words of the Reviewer, "ranks among the most accomplished of living European sovereigns." The first of these volumes is entitled En Samling Dikter, the second Smärre Dikter. This we believe is the first time that any serious attention has been called, in this country, to the literary claims of this royal author, though for many years they have been fully recognized in France and Germany, as will appear from the Translations mentioned in the above list. Literary talent appears to be hereditary in the family of this monarch. His grandfather, King Charles John, the celebrated Bernadotte, one of the heroes of the first Napoleonic era, not only won distinction as a soldier and a king, but also gave evidence of striking literary ability; as appears from his Letters, Proclamations, and Speeches, a collection of which was published by his sanction during his lifetime. Oscar I., the next of the line, was the author of some important works, one of which, 4 Treatise on Punishments and Prisons, excited great attention in its day, and had a wide circulation. His two sons, the reigning monarch and his brother, Prince Oscar, have both appeared in the character of poets, and the latter, as early as the year 1858, took the public by surprise by proving to be the writer of a remarkable poem to which the Swedish Academy had just adjudged its prize. The elder brother is the author of the

volumes to which attention is here directed. The first and most important of these contains, among several shorter pieces, two longer poems, Heidi and En Vikingasaga, both founded on the ancient Sagas and Myths of Scandinavia, and adopting their metres and poetic machinery. They are, in fact, in many respects, as archaic in form and spirit as the Eddas themselves, Opinions may differ as to the utility of thus resuscitating the remote past in so formal and sustained a manner, but this mode of recalling the power and daring of ancient days has become a point of patriotism with many eminent northern writers, and the reigning dynasty of Sweden, from its founder downwards, has thoroughly identified itself with the national aspirations. The present king especially is an ardent patriot, and is anxious to arouse the slumbering energies of the Scandinavian races by appealing to the record of their past glories and valour. These poems, therefore, have an importance and significance apart from their literary merits, but even in this latter aspect they possess great interest, and are acknowledged to display, not only the correct judgment, feeling, and graces of diction which might naturally be expected from the high personal qualities and culture of their author, but much also of the fire and enthusiasm of the genuine bard. They also show that the warrior spirit of the grandfather still survives in his descendant, as may also be inferred from his publications on military matters. We should have been glad to have presented our readers with some specimens of these poems, both in the original and in a German and English translation, but our space, at the moment, is too limited to allow of our doing so to any adequate extent. We, however, give two extracts from the second volume, a small collection of songs and other short pieces published two years after the former. It is almost needless to remark that, however faithful a translation may be, it can never do full justice to the original, for it is impossible to transfer from one language to another the more delicate shades of sentiment or style; bat even under this serious disadvantage the following extracts will not be without interest. The first is entitled A Confession of Faith. Our second extract is an address to Beckaskog, a favourite country residence of the royal bard. The English translations are borrowed from the Cornhill Magazine, the German ones from Bömers' translation.

Confession of Faith.

I in a God believe, who tenderly beholds

us,

Who in his loving arms through all the years enfolds us,

A God who has been aye, who is, and who shall be,

When Time's dominion falls, and earth's vain splendours flee.

The sun that smiles serene, arrayed in golden lustre,

The moon that nightly shows her silver face,

The flowers that on the meadow richly cluster,

All these are bounties of His grace.

I in a Love believe, which from high
heaven's palace

In life's primeval dawn came down to
earth's low valleys,
Which round the maiden's locks the
myrtle taught to twine.

And in the anguished soul drops peace-
fulness divine.
O'er throbbing human hearts it ever
reigns victorious,

Mid Polar snows, or deserts' arid sand,
And, triumphing, weaves garlands green
and glorious,

Even beside death's silent land.

And in a Beauty I believe, a Beauty God descended,

By which all forms of life in harmony
are blended,

From cloud and sea and shore, from
heaven and from earth,
Its ever-youthful shape aye gleams and
glances forth.

And when it meets the poet's visionary
longing

Thought's mantle it assumes and feeling's voice,

And in the strains that from his harp are thronging,

It bids each listener's soul rejoice.

And I believe that Death the spirit's
life can slay not,
The darkness of the grave its course
divine will stay not;
But when the day-gleam breaks on our
sepulchral night,

We reach our final goal, the father's
Land of Light.
When sets the sun of earth, when end
its strife and sorrow,
Then dawns for us a higher heavenly
day,

And in the blaze of God's transcendent

morrow

To ransomed souls we wing our way!

Hon strålar stilla fram i evigt ung gestalt.

Och när till skalden huldt hon träder i
hans drömmar,

Hon tager tankens drägt och känslans
röst,

Och i den sång, som snart från lyran
strömmar,

Hon smyger sig i hvarje bröst.

Jag tror att dödens makt ej själens lif
kan släcka,

Att grafvens mörker ej i evighet kan
räcka;

Ur stoftets tysta natt vi väcktes opp till
ljus,

Så gå ur döden vi till Fadrens helga hus.

När jordens sol gått ned, dess sorg och
strider hvila,

Då gryr för oss en högre, himmelsk dag,

Och i Guds eget anlets sken vi ila

Till frälsta andars syskonlag.

Here once more I stand! At last in-
haling

Free the fragrance of my groves again;
And I feel the future now is veiling
Peaceful hours that still for me remain.

All I see recalls the period perishedBillows blue, and pathway through the dale.

While the flowers, like faithful comrade cherished,

Friendship old renew, and bid me hail.

As before, the green hill-side is bending

O'er the meadow its flower-crested brow;
From the wood the beech tree is extending,
Glad to welcome me, its verdant bough.
Peace, where'er I look, my spirit blesses,

Calmly beats my heart at her command,
All in lovely pictures, me addresses,
And that speech how well I understand!

Beckaskog.

Ater är jag här! Jag fritt får andas

Mina gröna lunders luft igen;
För min länge närda längtan randas
Stunder utaf ostörd lycka än.

Hvart jag ser-hur allt jag återkänner!
Böljans bla och ängens gömda stig,
Blommorna, som trogna, gamla vänner,
Blicka så bekant och helsa mig.
Liksom förr, den gröna kullen sträcker
Ofver dalen här sin blomsterbarm;
Uti skogens gömma mot mig räcker
Boken gladt sin bladbekrönta arm.
Hvart jag går i dessa fridens salar,
Lugnadt ock mitt eget hjerta slår.
Allt i ljufva bilder till mig talar,
Och så väl jag detta sprak förstår!

EUROPEAN, COLONIAL, AND AMERICAN LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

THE ANTIQUITY OF PAPER IN ENGLAND.-I have made a little discovery, which I think will be considered curious in the history of paper. I believe that the first traces of the use of paper in Western Europe are found towards the end of the twelfth century, and we have no reason to suppose that it was in use in England until the thirteenth, or even the beginning of the fourteenth. It is understood to have been brought westward from Italy, where it was in use earlier; and I believe that our word paper,-a corruption, of course, of papyrus,-is considered to have been borrowed, with the article itself, from the French. I saw years ago in Paris-I believe they belonged to the royal collection (it was in the time of Louis Philippe)-a few of the earliest documents on paper known belonging to Western Europe in the period since the Romans, which interested me much. They consisted of receipts, or rather bonds, for money borrowed from the Jews in the time of our Coeur-de-Lion, given by chiefs who were starting for his Crusade; and, if I remember well, the paper resembled much that of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, except that it was of a rather coarser texture. It would seem as if, in the West, its use at this early period was known principally among the Jews. Now, I am just passing through the press an edition of a Glossary of Latin and English-or, as we are accustomed to call it, Anglo-Saxon-Words, of, I think, not later than the middle of the tenth century. We may safely look upon it as the English of the days of Athelstan; and in the part of which I have just received the proof I find "Papirus, paper." The word paper does not occur in Dr. Bosworth's, or any other, Anglo-Saxon Dictionary; but we have here evidence that it was in use in our language at a very early period, and there cannot be a doubt that we derive it from the Anglo-Saxons, and have not taken it from the French of the Middle Ages. But this fact leads us to another, -namely, that our AngloSaxon forefathers, to have the word in an Anglo-Saxon form in their own language, must have been pretty well acquainted with paper itself, and, no doubt, they found the Roman paper in use in the island when they came. It is a fact, indeed, which opens to us several others, equally new, in the social history of our Anglo-Saxon forefathers. I need hardly add, that paper probably never went entirely out of use in Western Europe after the Roman times, and a little research might still throw some curious light upon its history during the earlier Middle Ages. It certainly was not supposed before that it might be in use among the Anglo-Saxons.THOMAS WRIGHT.—Athenæum.

AMERICAN POLITICS.-A complete history of the United States Legislature and its doings, from April, 1865, to July, 1869, will be found in "McPherson's Political Manual,' four volumes. Editors and gentlemen connected with the press will find this a valuable work for reference, and every public library ought to possess a set.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.--On looking at the "American Lloyds Register of American and Foreign Shipping," one would never think that the marine carrying trade of the United States is on the decline, or that the last ship owned in Portland was sold but a few weeks since: it may be that the "foreign" portion helps to swell the volume to its present size, as it contans 3000 more vessels than the "Veritas," 900 more than the "Record," and 2,800 more than the "American Universal Register."

THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.-Professor S. S. Haldeman has recently been elected to the newly established chair of Comparative Philology. Professor Haldeman enjoys a high reputation as an investigator in organic sciences, as well as for his philological treatises and his lectures on ancient and modern languages.

LIBRARIES AND LIBRARY MATTERS.-The Lennox Library, about to be donated to the city of New York by its collector, Mr. James Lennox, is probably the most valuable in the United States; it is particularly rich in Bibles and "Americana." A Bill has already been introduced in the Senate to incorporate it, and Mr. Lennox proposes to give three hundred thousand dollars to erect a suitable building for his collection on a site near the Central Park.-The Philadelphia Mercantile Library now contains over 5,000 volumes, 4,254 were added to it last year; the annual returns give the average daily issue to be 481 vols.-Lady Librarians.-Cambridge, Gloucester, Lawrence, Taunton, and Waltham, all in Massachusetts, besides Alleghany, Pa., Bridgeport, Conn., Brooklyn, L.I., Dubuque, Iowa, Leavenworth, Ks., Pawtucke, R.I., Portland, Me., St. Joseph's, Mo., and Utica, N.Y., fourteen towns in all, are said to have ladies in charge of their libraries.-The American Bank Note Company have presented the library of the British Museum with a set of specimens of the art of Bank Note Engraving in the United States, dating back as far as 1756. In the collection are three notes printed by Benjamin Franklin for the State of Pennsylvania.

COLLEGES, INSTITUTIONS, SOCIETIES, ETC.-The California University is about spending fifteen thousand dollars in the ornamentation of its grounds.-The Iowa Agricultural College is partially self-supporting, the students earning half their board by their labour.-The University of Notre Dame, Indiana, has established a professorship of the Irish language. -General Lee's College has now twenty-nine professors and forty-six cadets.-San Francisco Academy of Sciences.-At a recent meeting of this academy, Professor Bolander reported that since the earthquake of 1868 the water in Lake Mono had risen considerably, was much fresher, and the dense clouds of flies that used to deposit their larvæ on the shores of the lake had totally disappeared. Professor Whitney stated at the same meeting that there is existing evidence that the water of Lake Mono has been 600 feet higher than

it is at present; he also stated that the Great Salt Lake and Pyramid Lake have risen considerably within the last year or two.-Columbia College.-Daniel Pratt lately delivered an address to the law students of this institution, and was unanimously nominated for its next president, with George Francis Train for vice. Mr. Pratt, however, declined the questionable honour of any connection with Mr. Train, or, as the report says, run on a ticket with any such man."-College Graduates. It is reported there are between seventy and eighty college graduates in the United States at present. It is said that twenty-five out of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence were college graduates.
