We doubt whether any living Englishman is capable of surpassing Sir Bulwer Lytton's version of the Ballads of Schiller, but Mr. EDGAR ALFRED BOWRING, a son of the well-known Dr. Bowring who has published translations from so many languages, has just published a volume entitled _The Poems of Schiller complete, including all his early Suppressed Pieces, attempted in English_. The word "complete" expresses its difference from the many Schillers in English that have previously appeared. An _Anthology_ edited by Schiller in 1782, when he had just commenced his career, contains several poems which the critics recognize as his. This remained unknown, however, except as a literary curiosity, till a few months ago; and several of the poems had been omitted in all the collections of Schiller's works. But the republication of the _Anthology_ has brought to light the suppressed poems (in number twenty-eight, comprising nearly twelve hundred verses), and those are translated for the first time by Mr. Bowring, whose versions are much commended. * * * * * Among the new books of English verse, some of the most noticeable are _The Fair Island, in Six Cantos_, by EDMUND PEEL: in the Spenserian measure, with passages of fair description; _Ballad Romances_, by R. H. HORNE, author of "Orion," &c.--a book containing genuine poetry; _The Reign of Avarice_, an allegorical satire, in four cantos; _Philosophy in the Fens_, in the style of Peter Pindar; and _Marican_, a Chilian tale, by HENRY INGLIS. * * * * * WARREN, the author of "Ten Thousand a Year," has just published a new novel under the title of _The Lily and the Bee, a Romance of the Crystal Palace_. The name savors of the huckster, and we shall look for a more melancholy failure than his last previous performance. * * * * * MR. LEVI WOODBURY'S _Miscellaneous Writings, Addresses, and Judicial Opinions_, will be published in four octavo volumes, by Little & Brown, of Boston. * * * * *
