Cheap . publication has reached its climax . This must be its ae jjIus ultra . Reckoning nothing for letter-press , here are three specimens of ; irt * a& beautiful as the graver can produce , at four-pence a piece I It appears that the exquisite plates of the 'Keepsake , ' 'Book of Beauty , ' the * Picturesque Annual , ' and * Turner ' s Annual Tour , ' have been copied for continental circulation , at a low price . Mr . Heath is determined to
grapple with the pirates , and undersell them by good impressions from the original plates , many of which cost from one hundred to one hundred and eighty guineas each , independently of the copy-right of the painting ? . lie , therefore , offers a series of shilling numbers , once a fortnight , containing each , usually , a portrait or fancy head , an historical subject , and a landscape * ' In this first number we have * The ; Bride , ' by Leslie , 4 Dieppe , ' by Stan 6 field , and the Rival Waiting Women / by Smirke Each of these engravings has already made itself a reputation by its excellence .

A new comer amongst the Quarterlies ; and one which , already , would he less properly termed a work of good promise than of good performance . The prospectus has been before our readers , and the first number can scarcely disappoint any expectations excited by it . A sound political and moral philosophy pervades the number , and both the
responsibility of the writers and the interest of the reader will probably be promoted by the plan of affixing a signature to each article , which signature is uniformly to be appended to contributions from the same hand .
In several instances these marks will identify writers with whom our own readers are not unfamiliar . Of course , a greater latitude is allowed by this plan for the expression of individual opinion , than is customary iu reviews ; ft circumstance which , to those who are at all addicted to the exerci&e of thought , will commend itself as an advantage . It supersedes also the occasion for qualifying a general agreement in the spirit and tendency of the publication with that expression of dissent from a
few , and but a very few , particular opinions , which else we might have thought important enough to notice as exception ? . Such as the strong assertion of the sacredness of crown pensions ( p . 21 ;) the worth , as a specimen of logical analysis , ascribed to the Latin or Greek Grammar ( p . 104 ;) and the theory of dramatic poetry ( p . 83 . ) The crown of the number , and this , considering the high talent of several of the articles , is no common praise , is that on the State of Philosophy in England , ' ( signed A . ) A composition so characterised by distinctness , acuteness , vigour , and comprehensiveness , so uniting the powers of the controver sialist and the philosopher , is , indeed , rarely to be met with .
