Mr. Cooper’s new romance, “Wing and Wing, or Le Feu Follet,” will be
published about the fifteenth of this month, by Lea & Blanchard, and we
are pleased to learn that it is to be sold at one third the price of his
former novels—that is, for fifty cents per copy. We are confident the
publishers will find in nearly all cases—international copyright or no
copyright—that the greatest profits accrue from small prices and
consequent large circulation.
“The Life and Adventures of John Eugene Leitensdorfer, formerly a
Colonel in the Austrian Service, and Adjutant and Inspector-General in
the United States’ Army under General Eaton, in the Tripolitan War,” is
the title of a work soon to appear in St. Louis, where the veteran hero
and biographer resides. Few persons in any period have passed through
more romantic scenes than Colonel Leitensdorfer, and his memoirs cannot
fail to be deeply interesting.
A new prose romance, entitled “Idomen, or the Vale of Yumuri,” by Mrs.
Brooks, better known by her poetical name, _Maria del Occidente_, will
soon be published by Colman, of New York. We have had the pleasure of
reading the work in manuscript. It will sustain the reputation of the
authoress as the “most passionate and most imaginative of all
poetesses.”
