theory--which recognizes no Gods, and, consequently, no miracles in the sphere of politics--according to my theory, of which you know and understand nothing, though you assume to pass judgment on me instead of studying me, if TIME and SPACE are the fundamental conditions of all being and existence, of all thought and action, of all prosperity and success. Not that believers in God were wanting to the parliament, as some one humorously asserted in the Bavarian State council-chamber--the majority, at least, were believers, and the good Lord always sides with the majority--but because it had no comprehension of place or time, on which account it came to such a disgraceful and resultless end." This, certainly, will appear to most readers to be, despite its bitterness, a lame and weak apology for neutrality, though we imagine that but little good could result from the intensest activity, when directed by such principles. Taillandier has also, in his own unassuming way, done, for so young a man, a full share of work "in the great revolution, whose true effects and results will be first developed in the course of centuries." * * * * * AUGUST KOPISCH, well known as the collector and translator of _Agrumi_--a choice selection of Italian Popular Songs--has recently published by Ernest and Korn of Berlin, a _Description and Explanation of the Monument to Frederic the Second_. A far more elegant work on the same subject, with no less than twenty excellent views of the monument, taken from as many points, appears from Decker, to which we may add another by Kohlheim, illustrated with a selection of ancient and modern poems relative to the memory of "Old Fritz." * * * * * We observe from a prospectus recently sent forth by the publisher, J. G. Muller, in Gotha, that the _Janus_, a well known and ably edited quarterly, devoted to medical literature, history, biographies, and statistics, the publication of which was suspended in 1848, on account of the political difficulties which then agitated Germany, is again to make its appearance, under the editorial charge of Doctors Bretschneider, Henschel, Hensinger, and Thierfelder, who will be aided in their efforts by many learned correspondents and contributors in different countries. Like most revived publications, it will be published in a style superior to its original, and to judge from the type and paper of the prospectus, which is given as a specimen of that with which the work is to be issued, its appearance will be truly exquisite. * * * * *
