This is decidedly the best annual for 1870 that
has been published so far. It's contents. edited
by MISS Susan Fenmore Cooper, are far above the
ordinary run OF almanac literature. For each month
there is an appropriate article Bros and Mowers,
woods and fields, rain and sunshine, snow and ice
are discussed and talked about IN very agreeable
ana entertaining stylc. But whas Will especially
be noticed are the Illustrations, which are really
splendid Both covers are illuminated, the designs
beng very tasteful aud the WORK admirably exc

all deserving OF praise, as much for their happy
delineatlon OF the subjects they are intended TO
represent Tor the artistic ability displayed In their
execution.

1870 Is very neat and Trustworthy publication full
OF interesting reading and embeliished by numerous
engrayings, some OF which are good while others
