Mr. Redfield has just issued a fourth volume of The Works of the late Edgar Allan Poe. This volume contains the nautical story of “Arthur Gordon Pym,” besides nineteen of his shorter sketches, contributed to the various magazines with which he held connection. We have here some of the most remarkable productions of a gifted, but unhappy genius. Arthur Gordon Pym is a story of great power, while some of the smaller pieces rank amongst the best contributions to the humorous literature of our times.
