The _Republique_, a new book just published By Paris, by M. LEFRANC, a member of the Assembly, treats of the events which have filled up the time since the revolution of 1848. M. Lefranc is an ardent republican, and his exhibition of this momentous period is not favorable to the party which hitherto, at least, has managed to gain the victory, if not to assure itself the possession of its traits. His style is singularly animated and impassioned, and it is not without justice that a prominent Parisian critic (Eugene Pelletan) calls him the most direct inheritor of that light-armed yet potent style of polemical writing, of which the famous Camille Desmoulins was so great a master. * * * * * The popularity of SCOTT, in France, is shown by the appearance of the _twentieth_ edition of Defauconpret's translation of his novels; and the announcement of an entirely new translation of them by another hand. If Defauconpret had been the only translator, _twenty_ editions would have been an immense success; but there are besides, at the very least, _twenty_ different translations of the complete works (many of which have had two, three, or four editions), and innumerable translations of particular novels, especially of _Quentin Durward_. * * * * * M. BLANQUART EVRARD, has commenced at Paris what he calls _D'Album Photographique de l'Artiste et de l'Amateur_. It is a pictorial work, containing reproductions by photography on paper of well-known works of art by ancient and modern masters. We have not seen it, but hear it spoken of as successful. * * * * * M. GUIZOT has now published under the title of _Meditations et Etudes Morales_, a collection of essays that had previously appeared on the immortality of the soul, and kindred topics. To them he has added a new preface, in which he discusses the question of liberty and authority in religion. * * * * * On the night of the 13th of November, FRANCOIS ARAGO, the great astronomer, was brought from his sick bed to the French Assembly, and walked up the chamber, supported by the arms of two of his colleagues, to give his vote in favor of Universal Suffrage. * * * * * M. OTT has just published at Paris a _Traite d'Economie Sociale_, which has the merit of giving a careful statement of the doctrines of the various schools of Economists and Socialists. It makes a good-sized octavo volume. * * * * * LOUIS FASQEULLE, professor of modern languages in the University of Michigan, has published (Mark H. Newman) a _New Method of Learning the French Language_, embracing the analytic and synthetic modes of instruction, on the plan of Woodbury's method with the German. * * * * *
