The Mysteries of the People, by Eugene Sue, is announced to be completed immediately. The sale of this eccentric novel, to say no more, has been prodigious. Eugene Sue is in Switzerland.
Dr. euman, Professor of History in the University of Munich, has completed his long-promised History of the English Empire in Asia. It is on the eve of publication.
Herr Hartleben, the publisher at Pesth and Vienna, whose meritorious efforts to familiarize his countrymen with the best works of English literature, has just published a translation of Mr. Dickens's Child's History of England. A German edition of Mr. Warburton's Darien is preparing for publication.
The German letter addressed to the Countess Hahn-Hahn on her two works—From Babylon to Jerusalem, and In Jerusalem—in Germany generally ascribed to Dr. itzsch, of Berlin, has been translated and published by Mr. Parker. It is very clever, and will probably amuse and interest the readers of that lady's former novels. The restless longing after new sensations, and the logicless action of a vain and ambitious mind, have seldom been analyzed so well or satirized so keenly as in Babylon and Jerusalem. A sharp preface from the translator also adds to the reader's zest.
