    Christmas Annuals &C. Several Works Appr...

    CHRISTMAS ANNUALS & c . Several works appropriately coining under

    this heading were crowded out of our Christmas number ; others have arrived since . These

    we have pleasure in noticing in our present issue .

    Beeton ' a Christmas Annual ( Ward , Lock & Co . ) contains an interesting and varied

    collection of literary matter . The" principal contribution is a story of much sensational merit , entitled ' Worth His Weight in Gold' b

    Annie Ashmore , , and the remaining contents , y consist of two new and original drawing-room

    plays , 'To be Let burnished , * and 'A Dash for a Dowry , ' written by C . J . Hamilton and

    Sir G . Campbell respectively , and ' Leaves from Lady Dorothy ' s Diary . ' The illustrations ,

    by D . H . Friston and R . Andre ' , are scarcely up to the usual excellence of these well-known

    artists . Messrs . Ward , sLock & Co . have also

    fprwarded us their Sixpenny Christmas Annual . In this the principal story is contributed by ¦ ¦ ¦ Sir Gilbert w \^ Camp ~ m ^ bellBart b . ( ' On - ^^ - a «^ ar Winter fc 's

    Ni rv _^ ¦^^ m * ght ~* -n - » ' ) , and ^^ ^ r ' other ¦ » m ^ *** ^ r seasonable * m ^ m , v «> v ^ r ^^^ m ^ r v » . fare ^ r ^» is supp » **^ ^^ lied - ^^ ^¦*» by M . Carpenter and the unknown author of

    ' A Trip to Dublin : a Drawing-room Play or Acting Charade . ' In addition we have the

    surprising experiences of Dr . Ronald Hedhew Neal , as related by himself ( ' Into the Middle of Next Weekand Further' ) and a variety of

    illustrations by , A . C Corbould , , the whole making up an attractive and seasonable issue .

    The writers in the Christmas number of Household Words ( Charles Dickens & Evans )

    are principally unknown to fame , but their work speaks for itselfand speaks in 110

    unmeasured tones . The , contents are for the niO 3 t part of excellent kind , and should

    compare in the very other favourabl magazin y with e special the mat numbers ter supp while lied

    in point of quantity this periodical should , undoubtedly excel the majority of them . We

    can promise our readers a very pleasant winter ni p ^ H ht ' s entertainment ¦ 1 i over the pages b of this
