TABLES OF FOREIGN LITERATURE. HUMBLE in itself as is the labour of drawing up Chronological Charts of the different literatures of Europe, we believe that a series of such tables will be found exceedingly serviceable. We know the value of such assistance to literary study and history, having experienced the inconvenience of being without any similar map of the entire route before us, showing the whole of it at a glance. Such brief chronologies or outlines of the history of a particular literature greatly assist the memory, and help to exactness without fatiguing attention by a number of insulated dates. They may be referred to immediately; and they show who were the contemporaries of the respective writers, which cannot be ascertained from a biographical dictionary; besides which, they serve as specific indexes to works of the last-mentioned kind. The Table may at any time be filled up, as it were, by merely reading the articles in such a dic. tionary, seriatim, according to chronological order. It is for the above reasons-should it be thought necessary for us to assign any— that we now introduce a new and somewhat unusual feature in the Foreign Quarterly, and commence a series of historical Tables. In some instances, a single Table will suffice for the whole of a literature, but in the case of France, Germany, Italy, &c., the literary map must be subdivided into convenient portions. And as we do not profess to publish these individual parts in any strict order, we begin with a Table of Italian Writers who have died since the commencement of the last century, bringing it down, as nearly as our materials for it will enable us to do, to the present time; and including in it a few names which, although not strictly literary ones, are those of individuals eminent in art, or otherwise distinguished.
