LITERARY NOTICES. 



Mr. Bulwer has just committed to the press the work to which he 

 alluded in his last publication, " The Student," and on which he has 

 been so long engaged ; it is, we believe, entitled " Athens, its Rise 

 and Fall, with Views of the Arts and Sciences, the Literature and 

 Commerce, of the Athenian People." 



Miss Landon has, we hear, nearly completed the printing of her 

 new Poem, " The Vow of the Peacock," illustrating, it will be re- 

 collected, the beautiful picture by M'Lisc in the exhibition of the 

 Royal Academy. 



Dr. Hogg's interesting Travels in the East, entitled, " A Visit to 

 Alexandria, Damascus," &c., will appear early in the present month. 



Mr. Chorley, whose lively Sketches of a Sea-port Town have 

 been so much admired, has in the press a series of Tales, the scene 

 of which is, we believe, chiefly laid in Italy. 



Mr. Grimshawe's beautiful edition of Cowper is drawing near its 

 conclusion : the eighth volume, which is now ready, contains a 

 beautiful portrait of the late Rev. Dr. Johnson, Cowper's kinsman, 

 and a beautiful view of the Rustic Bridge at Weston. 



The author of " Pictures of Private Life," Miss Stickney, will 

 shortly present to the public a work of an original character, enti- 

 tled " The Poetry of Life." 



A second edition of Mr. Bulwer's new work, " The Student," will 

 appear in a few days. 



A third edition of that elegant little work, " The Language of 

 Flowers," much improved, and revised by the editor of the " Forget- 

 Me-Not," has just appeared. 



The Rev. Robert Montgomery has nearly ready for publication a 

 fourth edition, revised, of his powerfully conceived work, entitled, 

 " Satan," a Poem. 



Mrs. Jameson has just committed to the press a new edition, 

 being the third, of her much-admired work, " The Characteristics 

 of Women." 



The second and concluding volume of M. de Tocquevelle's inte- 

 resting work, " Democracy in America," translated by his friend, 

 Mr. Reeve, with a map of the United States, is now ready. 



Among the novelties of the forthcoming season we have to an- 

 nounce a new work to be called the ENGLISH ANNUAL, two volumes, 

 of which have already appeared, but the whole of the editions have 

 been exported to America and the continent. The volume, in con- 

 sequence of certain facilities which the Proprietor exclusively enjoys, 

 will be offered in a form considerably larger and cheaper than similar 

 publications, and in all respects equal to them in its graphic and 

 literary contents. The Oriental Annual for 1836, by Rev. H. 

 Gaunter, B. D., will exceed either of its predecessors in the variety 

 and beauty of the Illustrations from the pencil of W. Daniell, Esq., 

 R. A., as the great success of the last two years has encouraged the 

 Proprietor to spare no expense to render it still more worthy of 

 public patronage.
