The Visionary . Adapted from the Seventh Book of Crabbe ' s . * Tafen of the Hall . Being No . I . of Prose Tales . Adapted from the Poets of the Nineteenth Century , by Stephen and Horatio Hunt . We can bear to see Crabbe cooked up in thvs way : but on reacjipg further we find the names of Coleridge , Wordsworth , Charles LamtL Shelley , Keats and Tennyson , among various others who are destined to . undergo the same process . We also find that the editors confidently ekl
pect such success as to induce them to prose the narrative poems of the last century \ * and possibly to speculate in a third series , * which shall include the whole of British poetical narrative from the earliest period . ' This success they expect to obtain , by taking fc from the tales they publish * the great cause of objection to them—their poetry . ' They
expect that prose will be read where poetry is looked upon as an abqfnination . Such they conceive to be the state of the public taste . Bii ^ es another generation is coming , who may think differently , we recommend them , when they have achieved their present undertaking , to turn all the prose narratives of the language into verse , as a companion work . It will be a much less exceptionable transformation .

The Forget-me-not . This first of the Annuals , and which has always been amongst the best , professes , on the present occasion , only to aim at sustaining the character it had already acquired . To do that is much , considering * the beauty of former numbers , but the attempt is certainly successful .
Amongst the literary contributions , those of Marv Howitt , L . E * L ., and H . F . Chorley will most attract notice ; the * f ) ying Sister / by the first-named writer , is quite in her own delicate and pathetic manner * an 4 is beautifully accompanied by the engraving in the pictorial embeUUb inents , of which the ' Young Enchanter , ' the 4 Playing Cupid / aud tlw * Peasants' Dance / also merit laudatory mention .

A Collection of Moral and Religious Poetry for t ? ie Use of Families and Schools . Whittaker , London ; Willnier and Smith , Liverpool . The Hymns of Dr . Watts and Mrs . Steele , the * Saturday Magazine / Sacred Offering , * and the devotional poems of Mrs . Hem an s and Bishop Heber , are the chief sources from which this compilation ha * been made . Much taste and pious feeling are displayed in the choice ; and , perhaps , considering for whom it is intended , the familiarity or some of the compositions , and the ( acknowledged ) editorial alterations occasionally made , are not so objectionable as they might otherwf * have been .
