tic animals in their highest perfection in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and

The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers of GA pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for

BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory)
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents devoted to political SUBJ
iects 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedIy far above all other journals oftheir class.

CHRISTOPHER North, maintains its ancient celebrity,

Medal, "t'The Green Hand" and other serials,
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
