GUIZOT is about to publish the _Histoire des Origines du Gouvernement Représentatif_. This is a new work, being the revised issue of his lectures from 1820 to 1822, which have never yet been printed, except in the imperfect _comptes rendus_ of the _Journal des Cours Public_. * * * * * _Le Drame de '93_, by ALEXANDRE DUMAS, turns out to be a narrative of the Revolution, in his rapid dramatic style. * * * * * M. PIERRE DUFOUR is publishing a work of great value entitled the _History of Prostitution among all Nations and at all Times_. * * * * * A cheap edition of the chief writings on affairs, by EMILIE DE GIRARDIN, is published in eleven volumes. * * * * * _Mademoiselle de Belle Isle_, written by Dumas for Mademoiselle Mars--a sprightly, dissolute comedy, full of the life which animates the _Mémoires_ of the time, and complicated in its construction with the skill of a Lope de Vega--was translated in New-York a year or two ago by Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, and brought out at the Astor Place Opera House. Our theatre-going people, however, declined a piece so broadly licentious, and it was soon withdrawn. We see that another version of it has been made in London, and that it has been played there very successfully. * * * * * The London editors lack something of the honesty of the Americans: they never give credit for an article, but if making up an entire number of a periodical from American sources, would permit their readers to suppose it all original. _Sharpe's Magazine_ is particularly addicted to this infirmity, and the July issue of it contains our excellent friend the Rev. F. W. Shelton's paper on _Boswell, the Biographer_, which appeared originally in _The Knickerbocker_. * * * * * The REV. CHARLES KINGSLEY, Jr., rector of Eversley, best known to American readers as the author of the Chartist novel of _Alton Locke_, and _Yeast, a Problem_, has been an industrious writer. He is now about fifty years of age, and besides the above works and a vast number of papers in _Fraser's Magazine_, he has published _The Christian Socialist(!)_, _Politics for the People_, _Village Sermons_, and _The Saint's Tragedy_--in point of art the best of his performances. We see by the English papers that he preached a sermon lately in Fitzroy Square, London, on the "Gospel Message to the Poor." It was so full of "socialistic" thoughts, and so severe on the richer classes, that the rector of the church, when he had finished, arose in his pew, and protested vehemently against its doctrines. The congregation dispersed in great disorder.
