AND

General Record of British and Foreign Literature ;

CONTAINING A COMPLETE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF

ALL NEW WORKS PUBLISHED IN GREAT BRITAIN,

THE Catalogue of all the works published in Great Britain during the past year, numbering upwards of four thousand New Books and New Editions, and one thousand Pamphlets, with the publishers' names, month of publication, and price, was published on the 12th inst.

It is important to publishers and authors that authority be given to register the title of every new book in Paris, and that a copy of each be deposited at the National Library within three months of its publication in England, otherwise all benefit of copyright in France, in such works as it may eventually be found desirable to reprint, will be lost. This may be done through the "Publishers' Circular Office, where all information may be obtained respecting the present state of the law. The clauses of the late convention relative to translations do not come into force until the "Copyright Amendment Bill," now before Parliament, becomes law. It is the general opinion that this subject will be re-introduced very early.

BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.-The Fifteenth Report of the Board of Directors was laid before the members at the general meeting, held at the Albion Tavern, on Thursday evening last, the President, James Nisbet, Esq. in the chair. It requires nothing from us to recommend this valuable institution to the members of the trade,-the facts detailed in the Report speak best for themselves; but we cannot refrain from expressing our astonishment that so comparatively few of the trade should avail themselves of the benefits of so valuable an institution, which has only been established some fifteen years, and has already attained the full amount of invested capital originally contemplated by the founders. This sum (£20,000) will form the permanent fund, and while all the Society's monies which may be received will be available for the various purposes of the institution, Rule 25 declares that "the permanent fund shall under no circumstances be reduced below the sum of £20,000." During the past year, the Directors have expended in relief £542 among twenty members and fifteen widows of members, and, with three exceptions, the same persons have received in previous years £1,600. The total sum expended in relief since October 1840 amounts to upwards of £3,000, among sixty-seven members and twenty-two widows of members. Four members and one widow of a member are now receiving permanent relief, and enjoying the benefits of a comfortable home at the Booksellers' Provident Retreat. It is contemplated to celebrate the accomplishment of the desired objects here reported by a general meeting on the grounds of the "Retreat" some time in June or July next.

M. Guizot avails himself of the International arrangement to secure the copyright in England of the memoir of "Corneille and his Times;"-and under the protection of Lord Campbell's judgment respecting American copyright, Messrs. Knight and Son have purchased the completion of Dr. Barnes' Commentary on the New Testament, comprehending the Book of Revelation: this will be published on the 20th instant, a full month in advance of its appearance in the United States; conferring an undoubted good title as the law now stands. The publication in this country of three editions all but simultaneously of the recent and popularly recorded travels of MM. Huc and Gabet, the French missionaries, is a striking evidence of the mutual benefit to be expected from the restric

tive effect of the translation clauses of the literary convention with France. The translators of the three editions referred to are Mr. Prinsep, Mrs. P. Sinnett, and Mr. Hazlitt-names affording c current testimouy to the value of the book: indeed, it may be doubted whether a work of travel has appeared during the present century of more original and genuine character. The travellers wer necessarily men of intelligence, and their journeyings extend over a continuous extent of explored ground in Central Asia during a period of nearly seven years. The first portion of a trans lation of Michaud's admirable History of the Crusades has been just published: it will be complete. in three volumes.

Lord John Russell is engaged in the preparation of a Life of Charles James Fox. "The materias collected by Lord Holland and Mr. Allen have been long since placed at his Lordship's disposal; an the work might have been ready but for the public duties which occupy so much of his time a attention." Literary Gazette.-We learn by the same journal that Mr. Dickens's "Bleak Houses producing an amazing sensation in Germany, publishers having been preparing for the republication thereof for some weeks, and are not to be deterred by the difficulties in the way of translating the details of the Chancery Court, &c. The first part will appear on the 20th instant in at least half dozen different translations.-One of the most graphic and at the same time effective sketches from the pen of this talented author may be read in the last number of "Household Words," in the first article, entitled "A Sleep to startle us."

The "Life and Correspondence of the late Lord Langdale" is in progress, and will be published by Mr. Bentley, who announces likewise two series of biographies that promise ample material of interest both in Church and State-1. Lives of the Archbishops of Canterbury; 2. Lives of the Prime Ministers of England. The third volume of Mr. Gladstone's translation of Farini's "History of the Roman State" will be published next week.

Mr. Moxon has called in the "Shelley Papers," in two volumes, published in January last, it having been discovered that the whole work was a collection of ingenious forgeries, deceiving alike publisher, editor, and public. The first suspicion raised of their genuineness was by a correspor dent of the Literary Gazette drawing attention to the singular identity of whole paragraphs of some of the letters, with an article in the Quarterly on "Fine Arts in Florence" in 1840, and cor teinporaneously, Mr. Palgrave discovered the embodiment of a whole article of his father's contributed to the Edinburgh Review. This led to further examination and strict inquiry, and ther appears at the present time but little reason to doubt that the letters which were purchased a auctions for high prices can be traced to the "George Gordon Byron, Esq.," whose projected pubication in this country some years since of some alleged secret unpublished papers of Lord Byron was prohibited.

The second volume of Mr. Vizetelly's "Readable Books" will be a translation of a popular French series of dramas of art and passion, entitled "Philosophers and Actresses."-Messrs. Appleton, of New York, announce the commencement of a new series of good editions of good authors, corres ponding in character and style to Mr. Murray's "Reading for the Rail," and starting with the same first volume-" Essays from the Times." The daughter of the late J. F. Cooper, Esq. is about to publish a novel, under the title of "The Shield."-Messrs. Smith, Elder, and Co. have three new novels on the eve of publication.-A Testimonial has lately been presented to Mrs. Cowden Clarke from the admirers of her "wonderful industry and accuracy displayed in her Concordance to Shakspeare,'" in the United States: it consists of an elegant rosewood chair, carved with emblematic devices, and was forwarded through Mr. Lawrence, the American minister.

The "Life of Cardinal Wolsey," by George Cavendish, reprinted from the fourth edition of Dr. Wordsworth's "Ecclesiastical Biographies," has just been republished by Messrs. Rivington, in a type and style suitable to the book: this edition restores the original text as it existed previous to the first printing in 1614.-A pamphlet has recently appeared, revealing the character and working of Miss Sellon's establishment at Plymouth: it has had a most extraordinary circulation, already reaching its eighth thousand.-Messrs. Seeley have nearly ready, a little volume upon "Nuus and Nunneries," compiled entirely from Romish Antiquities.-The late excellent and scriptural Charge of the Bishop M'Ilvaine to the Clergy of the Diocese of Ohio," has been published in this country: its admonitions are no less applicable to the English Church and Clergy than to his brethren of the United States.-A third series of Dr. Cumming's addresses will be published under the title of "Voices of the Dead."-The forthcoming number of Dr. Kitto's "Journal of Sacred Literature" will contain an able article on "Romanism."

Mr. Heneage Jesse has in the press, "Memoirs of the Court of England under the Reign of George III." embellished with Portraits.-Mr. Sterling, author of "The Artists of Spain," is engaged upon the "Cloister Life of the Emperor Charles V."-Mr. Kay, who has only recently produced a valuable "History of the Affghan War," has in the press a work in close connection with the same WWSPAbject "A History of the Administration of the East India Company," the publication of which

could not be better timed. The appearance of a work of considerable literary interest may be expected at no distant period, from the fact of the late Mr. Thomas Moore having kept a Journal" from very early life to the date of his last illness: the MS forms three closely-written volumes, evidently intended for publication; these will doubtless be edited at some future time combined with other remains,

The new Library Edition of the "Waverley Novels" will form 25 vols.-not 250, as printed our last number.
