LITERARY NOTICES. NEW B00XS. Thk Amkkicast CONFi.ict. ' Bv Horace Oreeley Vol. 2d Hartford: t. D. Case 4 co. ,..-:'-,.' ,- It seems a little out of place to look for a historian among the editors of daily, newspapers, especially a historian of our late. war. The passions and prejudices engendered by the struggle ntaurally warp the judg

ment and influence the. feelings . . 7, -. there is a greatdeal of human nature in editors, however , the fact may be doubted by some who regard them as without 1'eeliug and indifferent to public sentiment. A successful partisan editor and Mr. .Greeley has always been regarded as one is, of necessity, a man whose mind is quickened by the intensity of his feelings, and, it musf be acknowledged, very often by, Uia, prejudices. The very elements of character that impel him to . achieve success as editor, are calculated to j retard and, disqualify him for the great and impartial duties of the historian.; It was a difficult i tssk for ihe man. ,.1ia r-nln'mm nP i , ' -, . , whote naner Cftioed every dav the crv , n a i i'.

It .is hard for him ;to discover the unfaywrHbleneM of the.curroundings for such a movement at the time it was urged.;. It is far more easy to j see 'tne peculiarities andt. weaknesses tne, commanders " ,)liaving( it in charfe, , wlucli, promised lailure and helped to achieve it. Consequjently a historian so ci nstitut.d,is more likely to devote , his special attention . to the failing commapders than to the circumstances which contributed to their ill success','anrdver which, perhaps, they had no"control.ja f ;.'! ' In View of, these facls," we take up the second voliime'of the1" American Conflict,"1 prepared to' make some allowance for. errors of judgment on the partof its author. Mr..Greeley, as an editor, has neyer been proven guilty, we believe of knowingly and wilfully " misstating' facta. ' ,' While, therefore, ho perversion of truth was to be looked for in his history, we were prepared to see the ligh'ta and shadows so adjusted as to materially affect the grouping of his facts, and influence the minds of his ' readers with regard to the estimate they set upon different officers of ' the( army and members of the Government. A careful perusal of the book, however, has convinced us that it is as impartial as iC Was possible; for a 'man in Mr. Greeley's position to make it. We go further. 1 We believe it is more impartial than 1 any' other 'man in the eoun try----whb !ias; bete n ' i n ti m a tely connected ''with 'its politic for the : last J "thirty ' 'years could have ' made' it.'1 TWs0 is' av meed of praise fairly earned! and' 'cheerfully aWardeil.- -The' iiri partiality of :a histor5 is essential t'ienable it tso gain Confidence,' and having -satisfied ourselves in this rfartienlan -.fre ' turn to the btbelr pecul?at'ities'of the work. - -WeadmTre' Mr. "Greeley's plan of 'grouping his facts: ' Taking up partiealar milit'-ry department, ' be narrates the priDCipal events that' occurred in thera in a terse yet'eomprehensive manner," and to a Considerable extent, . Entirely driconhedted from events transpirng aHhe same time in other departments. In .this i particular his Tiistbry;Jaa 'collection of small er .histories, each .onemplete in itself, , of ; the various departments and military expeditions, ;, i This plan has he: advantage jof ..norejty, and, we thiqkK gives increased ..vigor . and interest to the , narration,; ( W are confident, students wjll, find it more easy to remembe the facts of , the war as narrated by Mr,. Greeley, than if he had adhered to the old plan of arranging events chronologically, and mingled the incidents of each day and month as they', were transpiring all over the country in one heterogeneous mass.- ,, t, .;...' . ..Mr. Greeley's style is peculiarly his own. , .We find in. the history not a few of those , aphoristic , sentences which have given the New York Tribune much of its reputation. His humor also crops, out occasionally very pleasantly, and gives a piquancy to the narration that incites and stimulates the reader. ; , ; , ; 7; , The, "American Conflict f' should be in every American's library, and doubtless will be in most of them.
