IMRESI, _die Ungarischen Flüchtlinge in d. Türkei_, (Imresi, or the
Hungarian Refugees in Turkey), being a collection of data relative to
the history of the emigration of 1849, from the journal of an exile,
returned from Turkey, translated from the Hungarian, with additions by
VASFI, has just appeared at Leipzig. "The _data_ alluded to in this
article," remarks a German review, "principally concern the personal
history of the Hungarian exiles in Turkey. In point of time it reaches
to their departure from Widdin to Shumla. Many articles are added
drawn from newspapers and private sources, relative to their
adventures, to the fortune of those who have emigrated to America, and
to the influence of England in these matters. A certain chapter on
Turkish manners and customs, containing nothing which has not been
already better described by other writers, might as well have been
omitted."

THORWALDSEN'S _Jugend_ (or The Youth of Thorwaldsen) is the title of a
work composed from the correspondence, manuscripts and notes of the
illustrious artist, written originally in Danish by Hans Wachenhufen,
and translated by J. M. Thiele, (if we mistake not, the eminent
theologian). "The style and execution is somewhat stiff and dry, which
may, however, be partly the fault of the translator, who appears to
have deemed it his duty to condense as much as possible; and has in
consequence apparently detracted in a degree from the easy,
confidential tone with which it is inspired. Nor is the translation
entirely free from errors and provincial expressions."
