DR. HAGBERG, a professor at the University of Upsal, has just published at Stockholm a version of the complete works of Shakspeare, the first ever made in the Swedish language. It is in twelve thick octavo volumes. The Shaksperian Society of London having received a presentation copy of this translation, has returned a vote of thanks to Dr. Hagberg, accompanied by forty volumes of the Society’s publications, all relating to the great dramatist and the state of dramatic art in his time. DUNLOP’S _History of Fiction_ has been translated into German by Professor Liebrecht of Liege, and enlarged so as to be much more complete than the original. The version bears the title of _Geschichte der Prosadichtung oder, Geschichte der Romane, Novellen und Mährchen_ (History of Prose Poetry, or History of Romances, Novels and Traditional Tales). It gives a complete account of the most prominent fictions from the Greek romances down to the present day, and is quite as valuable for those who like to take their novels condensed, as for those who make a historical study of literature. HOLTEI, the German poet, has published a four-volume novel, called _Die Vagabunden_ (The Vagabonds). It is a curious and successful book. It treats of the various classes that get their living by amusing others, not merely of theatrical and musical artists, but of circus-riders, ventriloquists, jugglers, rope-dancers, puppet-showmen, &c. Indeed, actors and musicians are only introduced casually, while the lower classes, if we may so call them, of wandering artists, make up the book; and they make it up not in the form of caricatures or exaggerations, but as genuine living characters, with the faults and virtues that really belong to men of their respective professions The story is a good one, and is varied with all sorts of strange adventures. In poetry we observe the attractive title of _The Æolian Harp of the World’s Poetry_, a collection of poems of all countries and ages, "dedicated to German ladies and maidens," by FERD. SCHMIDT. Also by the same collector, a Household Treasury of the most beautiful Ballads, Romances, and Poetic Legends of all Times and Nations; by BRUNO LINDNER, _Four Tales_, and from the Countess AGNES SCHWERIN, a new edition of _What I heard from the bird_. Were we confident that the Countess were intimately familiar with English poetry, we should feel half inclined to accuse her of having taken this title from "High diddle ding, I heard a bird sing." G. PUSLITZ has "thrown forth," as Bacchus threw the wreath of Ariadne, a "garland of Stories," entitled _What the Forest Tells_. Whether, like the wreath alluded to, it will reach the stars, we must leave our readers or his to decide.
