Our oldest artist is Sir Richard Westmacott, the sculptor, the Father of the Royal Academy. Our oldest actor (now that Charles Kemble has gone) is Mr. T. P.

The literary remains of the church historian, Dr. Gieseler, lately deceased at Gottingen, are preparing for speedy publication. The fifth volume of his Church History, from 1814 to the present time, is now in press, edited by Prof. Redepenning, a colleague of Gieseler. It was prepared as an independent work. The third volume of Gieseler, in the German edition, reached to 1648; the period from 1648 to 1814 he had assigned for the fourth volume, and his preparations for it were so far advanced that it will be ready for the press, under the same editorial supervision, during the next year. In addition to the above, he has also left, ready for publication, a "History of Doctrines to the Time of the Reformation," which will be separately issued next year. The doctrinal history since the Reformation is interwoven with this other work. These valuable works will complete his history of the Christian Church to the present

time.

Wilson, of that city, "has spent much of his time for the last four or five years in investigating the Ancient History of the Mexican Republic, and of the people who inhabited Mexico at the time of the Spanish conquest. In his researches he has been specially favored by the high officials of the Mexican government-every facility that he has desired having been cheerfully granted without any restriction whatever. He has accordingly gleaned a mass of authentic and highly interesting information, from sources now for the first time so freely opened to the foreign book-maker, which he has digested and fitted for the press."

OBITUARY.

[It is with extreme regret that we observe the following announcement in the Boston Transcript. Mr. Brown has been so long and favorably known to the Book Trade, that his loss will be deeply felt and universally deplored.]

DEATH OF MR. JAMES BROWN. - We are called upon to report the death of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr. James Brown, of the well-known publishing firm of Little, Brown & Co. The deceased had been indisposed about a week, but his illness was not regarded as dangerous until a short time before his death. Mr. Brown was a gentleman of fine business talents,-generous, affable, and intelligent; he was very popular with all classes. Few publishers in our country have evinced so much culture, taste, and discrimination in their business as the deceased. His house was the abode of refinement and hospitality, and many a distinguished visitor to our State has received the most favorable impressions of society here from the attentions bestowed upon him by Mr. Brown. He will be greatly missed in many circles, on account of his liberality and public spirit. By his death Boston loses an upright, honorable, and enterprising merchant; the neighborhood where he resided will lament one who was ever foremost in every good wordand work; and the religious society to which he was attached will sustain a sad bereavement, and its youthful pastor has lost a near and valued friend. But this sudden death will carry its deepest and most lasting pang into the immediate family of which the deceased was the head. Here the anguish will indeed be great. Those afflicted and sorrowing ones will have the warmest sympathies of a wide circle of friends, who will ever fondly cherish the memory and respect the virtues of the deceased. Mr. Brown was 55 years of age.
