THE ECLECTIC.

The Eclectic Review has commenced a new series-
and is somewhat enlarged and improved. Among
the most interesting literary articles are those on
" Wuthering Heights," " Lord Carlisle and Alex-
ander Pope," and " Popular .Rhymes and Nursery
Tales."

851 : or, The Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Sand-
boys. Part I. By Henry Mayhew and George
Cruikshank.

What with a subject like the year of the Great
Exhibition, a fantastic writer like Henry Mayhew,
and an illustrator like our glorious George Cruik-
shank, we may expect some fun in the progress of
this comic periodical. The story opens merrily
enough. As to the frontispiece to the future volume,
it is what Cruikshank alone could have pencilled.
" All the World going to see the Great Exhibition of
1851." It reminds us somewhat of an etching pro-
duced by the same hand some few years ago in
Cruikshank's Omnibus, under the literary editorship
of poor Laman Blanchard. " Looking for Lodgings"
is a right humorous morceau, and the cover of the
monthly part is commendable, with its ludicrous
conceit of the world blowing its own trumpet.

LOUDON'S ENCYCLOPaDIA OF GAR-
DENING. Ten Parts. Longnians and Company.
With the tenth instalment just issued from the
press the present (the last and the beat) edition of Mr.
Loudon's celebrated Encyclopmdia of Gardening has
been terminated. From the high reputation enjoyed
by the encyclopaedist, and from the well•knewn me-
rits of the work itself, we feel that further comment
is unnecessary than that the reprint has been through-
out most carefully corrected and improved by Airs.
Loudon, that lady having employed her
powers with a hand at once bold and judicious.
