M. ALFRED VILLEFORT has published at Paris a treatise on literary and
artistic property in an international point of view. It not only
discusses the question as a matter of principle, but gives the history
of the negotiations and treaties which France has made in that respect
with the nations.

Among the pleasant books recently published in France is ARSENE
HOUSSAYE'S volume of stories, _Les Filles d'Eve_, very piquant and
French in its treatment. A translation is announced in this city by
Redfield.

The literary event of the month at Paris is the publication of the third
volume of LOUIS BLANC'S _History of the French Revolution_. Of all the
works written upon that memorable epoch, none is more marked by
originality of thought and power of treatment than this, and we can only
hope that the present volume, which we have not yet seen, may prove
equal to its predecessors. Its table of contents is as follows: Attitude
of Property toward the Revolution, Attitude of the Gospel toward the
Revolution, Tableau of the Constituent Assembly, First Labors of the
Constituent Assembly, Administration of Necker, People Starving,
Treasury Empty, A New Power, Journalism, Faction of the Count de
Provence, The Fifteen Complots, The Women of Versailles, The King
brought to Paris, The Court at the Tuileries, Municipal and Military
Organization of the Bourgeoisie, The Wealth of the Clergy Denounced, War
of the Bourgeoisie on the Clergy, The Authority of the Parliaments
Discussed, War of the Bourgeoisie on the Parliaments, The Ambition of
Mirabeau, Complots of the Luxembourg, New Organization of the Kingdom.
The _Leader_ mentions that Mr. Blanc undertakes to _prove_ that Egalité
was not at the bottom of those conspiracies with which his name has been
associated, but that the real culprit was the Comte de Provence,
afterwards Louis XVIII.

M. EDMOND TEXIER, one of the most fresh and agreeable of that race of
literary butterflies, the _feuilletonists_ of Paris, is publishing a
large work upon that great capital, which promises to be as readable as
its exterior is splendid. It is to be ornamented with some two thousand
engravings on wood, representing all the prominent and famous public
edifices and places which not only figure so largely in history, but are
so splendid in themselves. The title of M. Texier's work is the _Tableau
de Paris_. It appears in parts.
