Editorial Miscellany.

——

THE HARPERS will immediately resume the publication of Humbolt's “Cosmos” of which they have as yet issued only the fist Part. In London, the work is now being published in monthly numbers. The Appletons will soon have ready the works of Dante with Biography, Notes, etc., etc., in one large volume, and embellished with Flaxman's designs. Great preparations are making in the way of Annuals and other Gift Books. Mr. Saunders has nearly ready his “Missionary Memorial” — Mr. Robert Hamilton his “May-Flower” — Mr. John Keese “The Opal” — Mr. T. S. Arthur “The Snow-Flake” — and there are one or two others on the tapis. The two next months will bring forth a great variety of new books in every department.

The “Chambersburg Times” does us the honor to make up the whole of its first page from a single number of “The Broadway Journal. This would be all very well, had it not forgotten to give us credit for our articles, contributed and editorial — and had it not forgotten not to make certain improvements in our compositions to suit its own fancy. Copying, for example, a little poem of our own called “Lenore”, the Chambersburg editor alters “the damned earth” into “the cursed earth.” Now, we prefer it damned, and will have it so.

——

GRAND ORATORIO OF THE SEVEN SLEEPERS. — The performance of this Oratorio, under the direction of Mr. George Loder, will take place at the Tabernacle on Thursday next, Sept. l8th. Those who read our remarks upon this fine work by Carl Loewe, in our last number, will need no further inducement to urge them to attend its performance.

AT THE approaching Anniversary Soireé of the Manchester Athenæum, Thomas Noon Talfourd will preside, and Chas. Dickens, Eugène Sue and many other literary celebrities, will be present.
