Excerpt from The Boston Miscellany of Literature and Fashion, Vol. 2: July to December, 1842 I knew that Lady was not very well, and would be found at home by the messenger, (my post-boy, ) and there time enough between soup and coffee to go to London and back, even without the spur in his pocket.

Not illustrated. 1842 edition. Excerpt: ...life, the translator thus speaks: "All that he writes is pervaded by a strong and earnest humanity, which shows itself alike in vindication of the essential rights of man, and in sympathy with the various sentiments of the human heart. He strives to find what is good in every doctrine, institution, and character, and tenderly avoids disparaging any usage which piety has consecrated or affection endeared. His taste and his imagination throw open to his mind the fair domain of poetry and art, and make him a fit advocate and interpreter of the graces that should adorn life. His hearty love for freedom appears in the earnestness with which he denounces all manner of oppression, and advocates a political liberty sustained by justice. His faith is so broad and catholic as to comprehend every human interest, and to hallow every duty. Not confined to a few dogmas and rights--not writing 'common and unclean' upon any gift of God, --his religion is as expansive as human life, and owns a moral meaning in all the blessings of Providence." Songs And Ballads. From the German. By C. T. Brooks. (Vol. XIV. Ripley's Foreign Library.) This volume, published in the same series as those last above noticed, coutains a series of translations of German songs, ballads, odes, elegies, and other short poems, which will be a very valuable gift to those who cannot enjoy these works in the original language. We thus particularize, from the full belief that the songs of a nation arc the last portion of its literature to be well translated. These versions are correct and in many instances elegant. The principal part of them are by Mr. Brooks himself, but several are distinguished by the initials of N. L. Frothingham, H. W. Longfellow, J. S. Dwight, Sarah H....

Not illustrated. 1842 edition. Excerpt: ...little soil to root themselves in, and in this narrow patch of our clay they sprang most quickly and sturdily. Gladly they grew, and from them all time has been sown with whatever gives a higher hope to the soul or makes life nobler and more godlike, while, from the overarching sky of poesy, sweet dew forever falls to nourish and keep them green and fresh from the world's dust. The old English Dramatists! with what a glorious mingling of pride and reverence do we write these four words. Entering the enchanted realm which they " rule as their demesne," we feel like the awe-stricken Goth when his eyes drooped beneath the reverend aspects of the Roman Senate and he thought them an assembly of gods; or more like him who, in searching the windings of a cavern, came suddenly on King Arthur and his knights sealed, as of yore, about the renowned round-table. Silent and severe they sit, those men of the old, fearless time, and gaze with stern eyes upon the womanly newcomer whose back had never been galled by the weary harness, and whose soft arm had never held the lance in rest. We feel, when we come among them, that their joys and sorrows were on a more Titanic scale than those of our day. It seems as if we had never suffered and never acted, and yet we feel a noble spur and willingness to suiTer and to act. They show us the nobleness and strength of the soul, and, after reading them, the men we see in the streets seem nobler and grander, and we find more sympathy and brotherhood in their faces. Their works stand among those of the moderns, like the temples and altars of the ancient inhabitants of this continent among the rude hovels patched together by a race of descendants ignorant of their use and origin. Let us muse awhile in this...
