The Liverpool Policeman, No. 1. London : Dolman and
Co. ; Liverpool: Booker and Co.

We had prepared for our columns this day a few extracts,
as a specimen of the style and material of this publication,
from the pen, we understand, of a Liverpool author. A sud-
den pressure upon our space, however, compels us to with-
draw them until our next publication. We have been highly
pleased with the illustrations which are to accompany it,
some of which have been shewn to us, which are executed in
the first style of art, and of themselves worth double the
price charged for the publication. With respect to the mat-
ter we can scarcely judge from a first number, which hardly
allows space for an author to get warm in his seat ; but shall
reserve our opinion until we see a few more numbers. We
may observe, however, generally that some of the characters
y painted ; but that a little pruning, and, above
all, a little better correction of the press would have been
very desirable. The author, if we may judge from the copy
before us, which, however, is " a proof," and may not be as
it is issued to the public, has some reason to complain ; and
we are afraid that the consequence may be detrimental if
such errors as disfigure this be not amended in succeeding
