    tulips in full bloom ; or the fantastic figures made by the combinations of a kaleidoscope ; or the imagery of a rich painted Gothic window , through which the rays of a western sun are streaming ; or whatever else is most diversified , gay , and gorgeous . A critique on them should only be written in a lady ' s boudoir ; by her own taper and jewelled

    fingers ; with finest crow-quill , the gilt and silver tassels hanging from its top , and quivering at every movement of its jetty plumage ; in a delicate Italian hand ; and on such embossed and perfumed paper as has never , but once , been subjected to the soil of printers' fingers . No , they were never meant nor made for criticism ! Enjoy them , or let them alone 1

    In fact , it is so impossible to refrain from looking at them , and so equally impossible to write solemnly and austerely about them ; they are so completely out of our critical province , the intoxicating productions of an extra-review region , that we should perhaps have adopted the above alternative , both sides of it , only dividing the two between our

    public and ' ouf private capacity ; and been well content in' the one to enjoy them , and in the other ^ to let them alone , had it not been for the circumstance ' whicu we arfe about to mention . Many of oW friends and readers intend to purchase one of these Annuals , for their ovVrt families probably , and perhaps a second for a present , and they feel embarrassed about the selection . It woulii bu a great comfort to them , we are assured , to have our judgment in the matter for Ijhejir guidance ; and it is most convenient to give this iti the Monthly Repository . To make the result as satisfactory as

    publication by which that . taste , will' be most highly or fully gratified . We regret that the later date of their aiipearan ; ce , and the necessity for an early preparation of our present number , obliges us , to exclude the Keepsake , the Anniversary , and the Bijou , from our comparative estimate . They will not fail of notice in

    our next . The first question then is , do you choose by the pictures or the letter-press ? By the former . Very well . Now we must come to sub-divisions , of which we shall take , as the first , a taste for

    simple landscape , either without figures , or in which they are altogether subor * dinate to the scene . There are two very good engravings of this class , the View on the Thames near Windsor , ( by Miller , from a painting by Havell , ) in the Winter ' s Wreath : and the View on tfw

    Ganges , ( by Finden , from Daniell , ) in the Forget Me Not . The latter has the superiority in execution ; but notwithstanding this , and some advantages in the scene itself , such as the river ' s more picturesque banks , those cupola'd and minaretted buildings among the

    trees , and that deeper shade thrown so beautifully upon the water , we turn with pleasure , as many have done before us , from the Ganges to seek the Thames , as

    it is there , so gracefully curving , and gently flowing , and softly shiuing , in that mild light which seems matfe on purposed to be reflected in its waiters , and which indeed was made ( by the artist ) for that very purpose : and very well

    made too . The next degree , in an ascentfmg scale , we take to be romantic landscape , in which Fiiendshin ^ Qft " ering ip marvellously rich , having tl > e toye ^ f Muscat , which lobks very like pumbai'ton .
