BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE, N 0.124, APRIL

•
11827.—" Blackwood is the best Magazine-caterer extant ;
he is always certain to give us something good." So said
a friend of our's t'other day, as we were talking of things
in general, and " Blackwood's Magazine" in particular.--
For our parts, however, we thought the compliment,
well meant though it was something of the flattest. Black-
wood's excellence is not relative, it is absolute ; comparison
there is none between his journal and the miserable riff-
raffish stuff voided under the name of Magazines ; " he
bears the palm alone." Not that he is without his faults ;
far from it ; he is oftentimes unjust to his friends, anti sel-
dom generous to his enemies. Knowing the strength of
his bow, the certainty of his aim, and the keen point of
his arrow, he sometimes selects a victim merely to prove
the skill with which he can transfix him. But, to say
the truth, he seldom leaves him to writhe long in
torture on the shaft. He is, upon the whole, a hu-
mane and gentlemanly sportsman, who loves, indeed,
to drop his game the ,•.,tant he comes within the pro-
per distance, but who 1-. s no relish for inflicting unneces-
sary pain, or gloating over the dying agonies of his quarry.
Then there are so many redeeming points about him ! His
wit, his eloquence, his poetry, are all original and peculiar ;
even his ridicule and invective are stamped with the same
character ; every thing is his own, nothing is borrowed.
Of imitators (sercum perus !) he has thousands upon
thousands ; scarce an unfledged witling but must try his
hand in the Blackwood style; in Magazines, polyonomous
and " multifaced," you find him laid under contribution—
his best things spoiled, his worst copied with dull fidelity,
his wit evaporated in the vain attempt to transfuse it, and
his genius bedizened with the tawdry frippery and fantasti-
cal falsetto of Grub-street. In short, he has stamped his
image upon " the literature of the age," as it is called,
and become the Great Exemplar upon which the diables
roturiers of the periodical press fashion their lucubrations.
But something too much of this. His present number is
varied and excellent; it contains food for almost every
palate.-- Caledonian Mercury.

ELEGANT FURNITURE,
GLASSES, SzC.—
H. L. Cooper, 95, Bisliopsgate-street_Within, respectfully
apprises the Nobility and Gentry, that he continues to
supply every description of Upholstery and Cabinet Work,
with Glasses of the most extreme size as well as moderate
dimensions, and every other article connected with the fur-
nishing of Houses in the most splendid as well as the
neatest style, combining elegance and simplicity with true
taste, thus obtaining, at a very moderate expence, such a
superior general effect, which the most laboured and costly
furniture when not well arranged, ever fails to produce.
Fenton's New Hotel, St. James's-street, Which is considered
one of the first in Europe for elegance and convenience,
was entirely fitted up from this Establishment, and pre-
sents a handsome specimen of the style adopted by 1-1. L.
C. to attain the desired effect. IL L. C. considers beam
compete for excellence of workmanship and quality of ma-
terials with any other house in London, and at such rea-
sonable Prises as will ensure him the patronage and sup-
port he has so long enjoyed of some of the most &din-
pushed families in the Kingdom.
