~" LEAFLETs OF MEMORY" for 1852,
edited by Reynell Coates, NJ. d. THIS favorite lu-
minated Annual has reached its eighth volume, and
is issued in style not inferior to any Of its prede-
cessors. The embellishments are mostly of pleas
ing, domestic character, and the literary coRtribu

execution, this volume is entitled to great common
dation but the binding though more substantial than
usual in works Of this kind is not in the esttasie
and lacks the high finish Of English workmanship
