'
No two-faced Falstaff proffers double suit;
No Desdemona mourns Iago's art;
And every Romeo finds his Juliet.'
Trust us, fair and gifted Miss Doten, the spirit who sang this into your
soul was not Shakspeare, nor, unless we are much mistaken, even one of
his acquaintances.
FAITH AND FANCY. By JOHN SAVAGE, Author of 'Sibyl, a
Tragedy.' New York: James B. Kirker, 599 Broadway. Washington, D. C.:
Philip & Solomon.
We are glad to welcome this little volume of poems, some of which were
published anonymously, and received general praise from critics and
readers. They are vigorous, patriotic, rhythmical, and many of them are
marked with imaginative power. The 'Muster of the North' is a bold and
striking poem.
LIFE OF EDWARD LIVINGSTON. By CHARLES HAVENS HUNT.
With an Introduction by GEORGE BANCROFT. New York: D. Appleton
& Co., 443 and 445 Broadway.
Mr. Hunt has had great advantages in the preparation of this interesting
life, the only surviving members of Mr. Livingston's immediate family
having placed in his hands the whole mass of papers left by him at his
death. The work has a double interest. As a man, Mr. Livingston claims
our sympathies from his domestic virtues, his unvarying sweetness of
demeanor, his high ability and culture; as jurist and statesman, he is
closely related to the great epochs of our country.
