Scotland ; one has a previous expectation in turning over the leaves of the sort of scene that will be presented , and we are not more than satisfied unless there be some novel and extraordinary combination . Some such combinations , however , are produced here ; and very many beautifully executed transcripts of beautiful pictures . Dr . Beattie ' s portion of the work is much more interesting than the reader has any right to expect from the title of a " Tourist ' s Guide . " It is better written than his account of Scotland ; and the simplicity of his style in the
description of objects that seem in themselves to approximate to the extravagant , does credit to his taste . Eacn number contains four engravings and not less than twelve quarto pages of letter-press . Certainly the publisher is not to blame if the enjoyment of artistic talent , employed upon the grandeur of nature , does not become general and popular . He has placed that enjoyment within the reach of multitudes . ' The English Bijou Almanac fur 1836 , with six portraits poetically illustrated by L . E . JL . London , A . Schloss .

Rut never yet a form more fair Amid the poet ' s visions moved , Than Thekla , thy sweet fancy ' s child , The German maid who < 4 lived and loved . "
For her sad sake shall woman ' tears Bedew tliy low sepulchral cell , And say , thrice blessed be the sleep Of him who knew our hearts so well . The other portraits , graphic and poetical , are those of Mrs . Henians , Lord Byron , Ketzsch , Raffaelle , and Martin .
