"In every revolution, good or bad, there are blind fanatics and selfish intriguers ready to take part, and loafers and vagabonds (_Bummler und Gamins_) willing to raise their voices." This is the remark of a German medical critic on a recent hydropathically insane composition, entitled _The Sin-register of the Medical Art of Healing_. In this work the _servum pecus_ of allopathic physicians are richly abused, partly with biblical quotations and partly with original anathemas. Another on the same subject and in the same curious style, is entitled, _Gustav Schwab, the noble bard of Suabia_, by GOTTLOB WASSERMAN (or Praise-God Water-man). In this work the anti-Sangrado author proves to his own satisfaction, that the _noble bard_ came to his death in consequence of having been imprudently bled, on one occasion, some six months previous to his death. * * * * * At the end of June an eighth edition of OSCAR VON REDUITZ'S _Amaranth_, was announced, and it has already been succeeded by a ninth. Many of the poems in this collection are in Uhland's romantic vein, and abound in the artistic spirit. To this we may add a _Mahrchen_ in verse, (or Child's Tale,) a beautiful fantasie of birds, brooks, leaves, and sunshine, reminding us at times of _The Story without an End_, at others of Sara Coleridge's _Phantasmion_. But as it is one of those gilded fascinations which invariably charm on a first perusal, we leave to some more accurate reader the task of judging more critically as to its literary merit. * * * * * A translation of Shakspeare's Plays into the Swedish language by HAGBERG, Professor of Greek in the University of Lund, is now in course of publication. Of this twelve volumes have appeared; and although the first edition consisted of no less than two thousand copies, the whole have been sold off, and a second edition is in preparation. * * * * * The lectures of NEANDER, _On Church History_, etc., are soon to appear, in fifteen volumes, edited by Professor JULIUS MULLER, of Halle. The Interpretation of the Gospel of St. John, will form the first part of the work. * * * * * German books and pamphlets on the Crystal Palace and the Great Exhibition, are already in the market, or have indeed been extant for some time. _Der Krystall Palast im Hyde Park_, is among the last in this line. * * * * * M. POUSSIN, recently the minister of France to this country, has in preparation a volume for popular circulation on the comparative merits of the French and American constitutions. * * * * * The Prussian minister VON RADOWITZ has published a second series of his _Dialogues on Church and State_, of which the first series appeared in 1846. * * * * *
