THE EDITOR'S LATEST MOMENTS. 



THE ANNUALS. It affords us infinite pleasure to have it in our power 

 to devote an entire page of the Old Monthly Magazine to the examina- 

 tion of these interesting strangers. In our last number we noticed 

 Messrs. Fisher's 



I. Drawing-Room Scrap Book for 1836. By L. E. L. Splendidly 

 illustrated. 



II. The Christian Keepsake, and Missionary for Annual, 1836. Edited 

 by the REV. WLLLIAM ELLIS. 



III. The Historical Keepsake for 1836. Edited by JOHN WATSON 

 DALBY, with Engravings from original designs and from celebrated 

 pictures. Thomas Hurst, St. Paul's Church- Yard. 



IV. Affection's Keepsake for 1836. By T. A. Simpkin, Marshall, 

 and Co. 



The Comic Almanac for 1836 ; with Twelve Illustrations of the Months, 

 by George Cruikshank. C. Tilt, Fleet Street. 



A hasty sight of the Comic Almanac enables us to remark that the illustrations are 

 worthy of the etching-needle of that mirth-making son of Momus, George Cruik- 

 shank. Of the literary portion we have read one or two verses which seem some- 

 what jejune. 



The Engineer' s and Mechanic's Encyclopedia, &c. By LUKE HERBERT. 

 Kelly & Co. Paternoster Row. 



This promises to be a most useful publication. We shall give it our attenti ve 

 consideration next month- 



A new publication has just been started called the " Literary Times," nearly as 

 large as the largest morning paper, price only two-pence ! We beg to suggest to 

 the proprietors an undertaking which would doubtless command a most exten- 

 sive circulation a journal to be given away, entitled the Gratis Gazette! We 

 fear its conductors would become no richer than their Literary Times promises to 

 make them. How their extreme liberality can be possibly profitable puzzles our 

 arithmetic amazingly !
