attractiveness of their engravings, and the 
celebrity of their contributors. In addi- 
tion to all those of last year, there will be 
several new ones this—each putting forth 
abnost the same pretensions to superiority : 
the contributors and engravers to each, 
are, with few exceptions, nearly alike in all 
of them. Those of last year were the 
Forget Me Not, The Friendship’s Offering, 
The Bijou, The Amulet, The Winter’s 
Wreath, The Pledge of Friendship, The 
Keepsake, and The Literary Souvenir.—In 
addition this year we are threatened with 
The Anniversary, The Juvenile Forget Me 
Not, The Juvenile Keepsake, Edited by 
Mr. Roscoe, The New Year’s Gift, making 
altogether 12 in number. When it is con- 
sidered that these elegant publications re- 
quire a large sale, perhaps 5000 or 6000, 
to repay the heavy expense of getting them 
up, it is to be feared that some of their 
proprietors will have reason to regret their 
speculation.
