THE PRIME MINISTER; OR THE SINGULAR FORTUNES OF A PEASANT AND A PEER. By Heinrich Zschokke, author of, “Horteusia, or the Transfigurations,” etc. Translated from the German. New York. E. Winchester.

Zchokke's works have been very popular, and have in them all the elements of the best popularity. “The Prime Minister” is strongly marked with its author's manner, and is very entertaining. The pamphlet is finely printed, and tasteful altogether.
