y made by E.J. Millington, published in London by Bohn, and in New-York by Bangs. SIR FRANCIS BOND HEAD, so well known in this country as one of the former governors of Canada, and as an author of remarkable versatility and cleverness, has published an agreeable but superficial book on Paris--the Paris of January, 1852--under the quaint title of _A Bundle of French Sticks_; and Mr. Putnam has reprinted it in his new library. A remarkable book published in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1847, by J. D. NOURSE, under the title of _Remarks on the Past, and its Legacies to American Society_, has just been reprinted in London, with an introduction by D. T. COULTON. The following works, all of which have promising titles, will soon be published by J. S. REDFIELD: _Men of the Times in 1852_, comprising biographical sketches of all the celebrated men of the present day; _Characters in the Gospels_, by Rev. E. H. Chapin; _Tales and Traditions of Hungary_, by Theresa Pulzky; _The Comedy of Love_, and the _History of the Eighteenth Century_, by Arsene Houssaye; Aytoun's _Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers_; _The Cavaliers of England_, and _The Knights of the Olden Time, or the Chivalry of England, France and Spain_, by Henry W. Herbert; _Lectures and Miscellanies_, by Henry James; and _Isa: a Pilgrimage_, by Caroline Chesebro. _The Westminster Review_ says of ALICE CAREY, whose _Clovernook_ we noticed favorably in the last _International_, that "no American woman can be compared to her for genius;" the Paris _Debats_ refers to her as a poet of the rank of Mrs. ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING in England; the literary critic of _The Tribune_ (the learned and accomplished RIPLEY whose judgment in such a matter is beyond appeal) prefers her _Clovernook_ to Miss MITFORD'S _Our Village_, or Professor WILSON'S _Lights and Shadows of Scottish Life_. MR. DANIEL S. CURTISS has availed himself well of large opportunities for personal observation, in his volume just published under the title of _Western Portraiture, and Emigrant's Guide_, a description of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, with remarks on Minnesota and other territories. It is the most judicious and valuable book of the kind we have seen. HERR FREUND, the Philologist, is in London, engaged in constructing a German-English and English-German dictionary upon his new system; and Professor SMITH, the learned editor of the Dictionary of Greek
