* * * * * THE IMPERIAL LIBRARY AT VIENNA has been enriched by a very old Greek manuscript on the Advent of Christ, composed by a bishop of the second century, named Clement. This manuscript was discovered a short time since by M. Waldeck, the philologist, at Constantinople. * * * * * MR. KEIGHTLEY's "History of Greece" has been translated into modern Greek and published at Athens. * * * * * GUIZOT's book on Democracy, has been prohibited in Austria, through General Haynau's influence. * * * * * WORDSWORTH'S POSTHUMOUS POEM, "The Prelude," is in the press of the Appletons, by whose courtesy we are enabled to present the readers of _The International_ with the fourth canto of it, before its publication in England. The poem is a sort of autobiography in blank verse, marked by all the characteristics of the poet--his original vein of thought; his majestic, but sometimes diffuse, style of speculation; his large sympathies with humanity, from its proudest to its humblest forms. It will be read with great avidity by his admirers--and there are few at this day who do not belong to that class--as affording them a deeper insight into the mind of Wordsworth |
