The English LITERARY INTELLIGENCE of the month is summed up in the Household Narrative, from which mainly we copy. It remarks that the class of books which has received the largest additions, is that of biography. Mr. Edmund Phipps has published extracts from the diaries and literary remains of the author of _Tremaine_, with biographical and critical comment, under the title of "_Memoirs of the Political and Literary Life of Robert Plumer Ward_;" and the book has been made more interesting than the subject would have seemed to promise, by the fact of Mr. Ward's intimate connection, both in private and public life, with the leading tory statesmen of the administrations of Addington, Perceval, and Liverpool. The political and administrative characteristics of the Duke of Wellington have probably never had such vivid illustration.--Mr. Leigh Hunt has published his "_Autobiography, with Reminiscences of Friends and Contemporaries_," of which very copious extracts were given in the July number of this Magazine. It will be issued in a few days from the press of the Harpers. Some of it is the republication of a former work, but the greater part is original, or at least so changed by interpolations, recantations, or additions, as to produce the effect of novelty.--The Reverend Mr. Field, an enthusiast for the separate and silent system of imprisonment, has published a new _Life of Howard_, dedicated to Prince Albert, of which the design appears to be to counteract the evil tendency of a recent memoir of the philanthropist, remarkable for what the reverend enthusiast calls "the advocacy of democratic principles, and the aspersion of a godly prince."--Each in a goodly-sized volume, we have had a sort of general biographical notice of _Celebrated Etonians_, and of _Speakers of the House of Commons_, the first by an able man, quite competent to the subject.--Miss Pardoe has edited the first volume of a series of _Memoirs of the Queens of Spain_, of which the author is a Spanish lady, resident in America. An ingenious northern antiquary has published memorials of one of the old border mansions, called Dilston Hall, which amounts in effect to an interesting _Memoir of the Earl of Derwentwater_, who suffered in the Jacobite rebellion. And, finally, Mr. Andrew Bisset has done good service to both history and biography by a very careful publication of the _Memoirs and Papers of Sir Andrew Mitchell,_ Lord Chatham's embassador at the court of Frederic the Great, and one of the very ablest of English diplomatists.
