The _Juvenile Keepsake_, edited by Mr. T. Roscoe, is said to be completed. Another Juvenile Annual, to be called the _Zoological Keepsake_, is announced, with a host of cuts to enliven the "birds, beasts, and fishes" of the smaller growth. The _Gem_ will re-appear as the _Annual Gem_, with thirteen embellishments, superintended by A. Cooper, R. A. The _Bijou_ promises well. The embellishments are of the first order, from pictures by Sir Thomas Lawrence, Stothard, Wilkie, and the lamented Bonington. Among the gems are a splendid portrait of _the King_, from the president's picture, in the possession of Sir William Knighton, Bart.; and a portrait of the beautiful Mrs. Arbuthnot. The _Winter's Wreath _will bloom with more than its accustomed beauty. Among the contributors we notice, for the first time, the author of "Rank and Talent." _Religious Annuals_ are on the increase. One of the novelties of this class is "_Emmanuel_," to be edited by the author of "Clouds and Sunshine," of the excellence of which we have many grateful recollections. The _Iris_, to be edited by the Rev. Thomas Dale, is another novelty in this way. The _Musical Bijou_ has among its composers, Rossini, Bishop, Kalk-brenner, Rodwell, J. Barnet, and others. The lyrists and prose writers are Sir Walter Scott, T.H. Bayley, the Ettrick Shepherd, Messrs. Planche, Richard Ryan, &c. |
