We learn from _The Athenæum_ that Mr. George Stephens, the translator of Tegner's beautiful epic _Frithiof's Saga_, and whose intimate acquaintance with the early literature of Sweden has been shown by the collection of legends of that country which he has edited in conjunction with Hylten-Cavallius, and by the various works superintended by him for the _Svenska Fornskrift-Sällskapet_, a sort of Stockholm Camden Society, has removed to Copenhagen in consequence of his having been appointed Professor of the English Language and Literature in the University there. The subject of his first course of lectures--to be delivered in the present month--is, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. After this we shall be quite prepared to hear of a Danish translation of this masterpiece of the Father of English Poetry, as a companion to the recently published Swedish translations of Shakspeare. BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Rhymed Chronicle of Edward Manlove concerning the Liberties and Customs of the Lead Mines within the Wapentake of Wirksworth, Derbyshire_, &c., edited by Thomas Tapping, Esq. This little tract (which with its valuable Glossary, List of Cases, &c., occupies but forty pages) is an extremely curious book; and the manner in which it has been edited reflects great credit upon Mr. Tapping.--_Neander's General History of the Christian Religion and Church_, vol. vi., forms the new volume of Bohn's _Standard Library_. The same indefatigable publisher has issued, as the new volume of his Classical Library, _The Odes of Pindar, literally translated into English Prose_, by Dawson W. Turner, M.A.; and, as if this was not sufficient, he has added the _Metrical Version by the late Abraham Moore_--a translation which he pronounces, and with great justice, to be distinguished for "poetry, scholarship, and taste."
