ANNE.

By W. HARRISON AINSWORTFI, Esq.
Book I. Illustrated by GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.

With contributions from Leigh Hunt, Mrs. S. C. Hall, John
Oxenford, Charles Oilier, Camilla Toulmin, R. B. Pitman,
Miss Skelton, W. F. Ainsworth, Catherine Hutton, Leman
Blanchard, the late Dr. Maginn ;Reviews of Charles Dickens, &c.
" Mr. Ainsworth opens his new tale of ' St. James's, or the
Court of Queen Anne,' with much animation and directness of
purpose, bringing us at once, and without ceremony, jut° the
company of some of his leading personages. Mr. Ainsworth
has been singularly fortunate in his choice of subject ; and his
dexterous introduction of the wily adventurer Guiscard will
give him an opportunity, in due course, of exhibiting his admi-
rable descriptive powers to advantage. The dialogue between
Marlborough and his wife, where Abigail is the theme of their
discourse and the object of their suspicion, is in the author's
most natural and forcible manner, being a correct index to elm..
racter—the greatest recommendation that dialogue can possess.
Charles Other's Benighted Traveller' is told so pleasantly,
that it is impossible to read it without interest. Daphne of
Antioch' describes with much minuteness of detail that enchant-
ing and voluptuous spot. In the • present chapters of John
Manesty,' the plot begins to clear up a little. • Jemmy Scrap'
is a sprightly tale. • Long Hours,' by Mrs. S. C. Hall, is
conceived in a kindly spirit. By the way of wind-up to our
notice, we may state that a charming likeness of the Editor,
from the pencil of Maelise, who has presented him in most pic-
turesque and exalted mood, seated in a high-backed Elizabethan
arm-chair, adds greatly to the value ana attractions of the num-
ber."—Sun. _ _

ber of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of

" The various positions of lover, husband, and parent, the
inherent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and-pre-
vented through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions.
To such, among others, this essay addresses itself; and by its
perusal many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that ad-
mit of no appeal even to the most confidential friend."—Stafford

The Proprietors have the satisfaction to find, as is very
generally acknowledged, that during the past year no efforts
have been spared to give additional interest and importance
to a publication which has ranked as a favourite with
the higher as well as the middle classes fur more than
twenty years. The promises made by popular Writers and
eminent Professors who had engaged to enrich its pages with
their communications have been made good, and no Ma-
gazine of the day has been able to lay before its readers
wore varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely-
extending connexions enable the Proprietors to furnish the
earliest and most correct announcements of all discoveries in
Art, Science, and Nature, that are interesting to the friends of
Literature.

has produced, tales not composed of maudlin sensibilities, but

The Reviews which have appeared have been free and im-
partial, not merely authors' prefaces and booksellers' puffs,
which indolence and meanness have often been content to
adopt as such.
Engravings of the Heraldic honours of Noble Houses have
been introduced one in each week. In the accompanying
node's no party spirit has been allowed to enter, and some
memorable scenes have been recalled, which in ordinary Peer-
ages would be sought. for in vain. The valuable assistance of
a Gentleman most intimately acquainted with everything that
relates to Heraldry, and with the history of all the most illus-
trious names of England, will in (atumenahl7 ple-COnductora
