The American Review, for November, commences with an able paper on “Human Rights” — a review of Hurlbut's Essay — continued from last number. We note, also, an excellent article on “The French Moralists — Labruyerc, Montaigne and Nicole,” also, a continuation of the spicy “Adventures on the Frontiers of Texas and Mexico.” There are several other excellent contributions in prose — including a fair criticism on Mr. Mathews’ book.

There are two remarkably fine poems in the number — “The True Death,” by Wm. Wallace, and “Elfland,” anonymous.

The “Critical Notices” are written with point and discrimination.
