    The Annuals . Wk cannot imagine why the Annuals should all be coming out together , just now . Why should they not accommodate one another , and each have a month an < l a character of its own . It is shameful that the crabbed ancients of the year , —the hoary , gloomy , foggy , dying months , —should have such a harem of beauties , while all the young people who will soon be coming forward , —the sparkling January , the tearful

    February , the bold March , the changeful April , the merry May , and the bounteous June , —all come into the world like so many Adams , with never an Eve created for them , and only succeed to the relicts of their progenitors . There should be a new Annual every month , for the month itself is only an Annual . Pleasant almanacks would they be : a book for every month , and a picture for every week , and a song for every dav .

    We should date by them soon ; and the appointment would be made for the first leaf of the * Forget me not / and the bill to be paid on the last of the * Keepsake / But this sort of accommodation is un-English ; a fatal objection to all good things not transmitted hy our ancestors . There is no hope of our Annuals coming in an orderly manner , as the French go into a theatre : if there be but a dozen of them , they must make a crowd about the door , and half kill one another for the

    impossibility of all going in at once , when each might walk in quietly by himself . Books and people , it is all the $ ame ; they will rush in all at once ; and so the people knock one another down , and the books knock one another up . They come by dozens when one has no time for them , and none at all when one could deal or dally with them . So we shall give a priced list of them , and e ' en leave our readers to use their own discretion .

    The Errors of the Social System . By W . Hawkes Smith . The author of this pamphlet is distinguished for mental activity and warm p hilanthropy . He usually shows his impatience of human errors and evils by bis schemes for their correction and redress . In the present instance , however , be prefers a negative recommendation of the remedies which approve themselves to his own mind , by exhibiting to the minds of

    others the difficulties of the case and the inefficiency of the plans usually proposed for bettering the condition of the many . If we cannot always agree in his conclusions , we never fail to sympathize in his spirit and object . Most just is the remark in his preface , that * the question with those who , in any degree , command or controul the destinies of the imny . ought wot to ( m—with how 4 tttla the hulk of mankind may l > e

    kept alive and prevented from committing acts of rebcdHmi , or how the numbers may be reduced when the few no longer need their seiwe * . but how much of improvement , raoral , in tellectual , * pd physical , —bo ^ much of happiness , —may "be realized for all . *
