FORGET ME NOT.

Ackerman, London, 1836.
:e generally
r uals, for th,,y_.
make a point of speaking well of
the
at:a
ugh blast are delicate hot-house plants, which
o f criticism would be very apt to blow to
roornins• They are intended only to lie on a drawing-
whit table,. c,r in a lady's boudoir ; to amuse for a brief
Bhorte' "d
'then to be laid aside and forgotten. In
Nal ' the!" are, in the strictest sense of the term, An-
-01. 8' contradistinction to Perennials ; and we treat
11‘._111, accordingly as such pretty, harmless ephemera
be treated. The little volume before us, the
cias.corNe,.
s: me-not" is a very favourable sample of its
viths' full of Pleasing prose and verse, and embellished
divers pleasinfr engravings. These last are more
than
numerous
us iaal, and we do not err when we
as
that the
e y are. also better executed than any we
444, met with in the preceding volumes. Of the prose
thies the most effective is that which is placed first in
4nnual, e4nd is called the " Sorceress. An ex-
Inclodrf Line might be constructed from the mate-
tal 8 fUrnishe,(l by this stirring little nouvellette. The
" Linlithoow Castle" is also well written,
Ive of
a", col isidering its paucity of incident, it is some-
t°° I' 3rig. The " Nice Doctor" is the produc-
livei:! a. gentleman named Dalton, and is told in a
tion/ tited manner. As regards the poetical por-
°f t11(1 " Forget-Me-Not," the two best poems, as
night
ue expected, are from the practised pens of
s;:es ontgomery, author of the " Wanderer of
isserlar 4d," and Miss Landon.
