LITERATURE.

HEATH'S BOOK OF BEAUTY.
Longman, _London, 1838. of
A most splendid Annual, perhaps the most splendi"dv
the season. The Editor—or rather Editress—is
Blessington, who has shown her usual skill and taste in
'4)
selection of the literary articles. The. Plates, twelvi.co.ol
number, are all of flint!) portraits engraved, chiefly
original paintings by Chalon, Ross, and Landseer, by
of the ablest artists of the day. The best and tenst !riet
rited of these portraits—which, we should observe, af)(..
,
our female aristocracy—is decidedly Edwin Landseer'slifor
ness of the Viscountess Fitzharris, which is remarkable,id
the beantiful contour of the head, and the cbast,e;,l, i 0
graceful elegance of the attire. The frontispiece, vg°' It
a portrait of the Duchess of Sutherland, is by Chalon' oEt
is in his most characteristic, but certainly not in bisll'Aro
successful, manner, being far too artificial. The beA"„tess
bust are the best portions of the picture. Visenu'il of
Powerscourt is a well painted sketch from the Pelle:n-01'
Ross. The face wears pleasing expression of mixed ''tia
ligence and good nature. The portrait of Mrs. rl° ~larl7
Martin, which is almost a full length, is that of a sing:rice.
handsome woman. The attitude is full of ease an°,re‘cr
The literary department of the " Book of Beata frP)'
tains some clever articles, among the best of which I:fehave
enumerate Lord Abinger's " Fable," which, thoughpit„.ic
a doubtful political tendency, is clever in point n,2,
Trelawncy's " Master of the Sword ;" and Lady Pie'.
