than its gratification has hitherto cost." If this be not an inducement to 

 purchase, we confess we shall despair of any eloquence of our own being able 

 to carry persuasion with it. Yet eloquent we might well be upon this exquisite 

 set of gems — a collection which will rival any thing of the kind that may be 

 produced, whether under the head of " Landscape," " Picturesque," or other 

 appellation. The whole of these thirteen engravings are from drawings by 

 Prout, who, if we are to allow him his full share in the merit of this set of 

 designs, never did any thing lovelier. We wish our space would permit us to 

 do justice to them separately : we could devote a page to pointing out the 

 beauties of such plates as the Church of St. Pierre, by Carter ; Rouen Cathedral, 

 by Wallis ; the City and Bridge of Prague, Le Keux ; the Porte Nigra, 

 Roberts ; the exquisite tide page, by Fisher; and others, the finish and feeling 

 of which will recommend them to every lover of engravings. Mr. W. Kennedy 

 is announced as the editor of this beautiful addition to the Annuals. 



Illustrations of tJie Literary Souvenir. — If not equal to any previous set, these 

 illustrations are by no means destitute of beaut}'. In the frontispiece, Allegra, 

 Ensom has given a complete fac-simile eflect to the drawing of Chalon. It is a 

 charming piece of aiFectation. The Supper by the Fountain, Engleheart, is not 

 equal to the Stothard of last year ; nor is the Marchioness of Salisbury, Ensom, 

 comparable to one or two of the Lawrences to be found in the present year's 

 Annuals. Overwesel on the Rhine, Roberts and Goodall, is among the most 

 attractive of the set ; though even this is surpassed by the Tower of London, 

 which Turner has robed with poetry. Northcote's Lady Jane Grey we do not 

 altogether admire ; and the Tarantella should have been excluded. Vespers 

 presents a sweet bit of moonlight effect, by Boxall ; and the Deveria Family 

 forms a fascinating group. Two subjects, by Johannot, are also skilfully 

 treated.
