please and delight the reader , particularly several of our Quaker poet ' s , Bernard Barton , and of the Rev . T . Dale ' s . On the whole , we think , there is too large a proportion of melancholy subjects ; yet melancholy as is their tone , who would willingly part with such verses as the following ? " My Father ' s Grave is here . By the Rev . W . Lisle Bowles . * Mv Father ' s Grave , ' I heard her say , And marked a stealing tear ;—' Oh , no ! I would not go away—¦ My Father ' s Grave' is here .
* A thousand thronging sympathies , The lonely spot endear ; And every eve remembrance sighs , My Father ' s Grave is here ! * Some human tears unbidden star £ As Spring ' s gay birds I hear , For all things whisper to my heart , My Father ' s Grave is here ! ' Young hope may blend each colour gaf , And fairer views appear ;
But no ! I would not go away—My Father ' s Grave is here . ' " This , like several of the other €€ annuals , " has an " Ornamented Case , " which the Editor reckons , together with the Vignette , of which one side or page of the case is but a re-impression .
amongst the plates , which , exclusive of these , are ten . The engravings have no very high claim as works of art—yet we must point out two very pretty landscapes ; one , " Arthur ' s Seat , " from Nasmyth , by Lacey , —the other , * * Brougham Castle , " from Copley Fielding , by the younger W . Cooke .
We may probably take notice hereafter of the remaining " annuals . " Our object in the present article has been to review them impartially , and to put the reader in possession of their merits , for merits they all have , though not in equal proportions . The proprietors , without any exception , are entitled to our
commendation for the fair prices at which their elegant volumes are offered to the public ; and this , united with other and higher claims to the patronage of the literary world , will cause them , we doubt not , to be presented to many a young glistening eye and tender hand on the approaching merry days of Christmas and the New Year .

Art . XII . —A Sermon , preached in the Chapel in Hanover Square , Newcastle , previous to a Collection , in Aid of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association , October 29 , 1826 . 12 mo . pp . 12 . Newcastle , printed by John Marshall . 1827-The Unitarian Association could not receive the sanction of a more influential name than that of the venerable author
of this sermon , —the Rev . William Turner . The sermon is the easy , familiar address of a pastor , who has been long considered as a Father by his affectionate flock . The preacher states some of the leading doctrines of Unitarianism ; gives a few sketches of the history of English
Unitarians ; and relates some of their efforts for the promotion of their opinions , terminating in the establishment of the Unitarian Association , which he strongly recommends to the support of his own denomination . For the spirit of this short address , we could wish it a more extensive circulation than the
author seems to meditate for it , by printing it as one of the Tracts of the " Newcastle Unitarian Tract Society . "
