As we have already drawn somewhat freely on the present volume, we may adduce that as the best proof of the high opinion we entertain of its merits. The editor has only two or three pieces; but the excellent taste and judgment displayed in the editorship of the "Forget-me-not" entitle it to a foremost place among the "Annuals for 1829." * * * * * The Literary Souvenir, _Edited by Alaric A. Watts, Esq_. If the present were the first volume of the Literary Souvenir, the name of the editor would be a passport to popularity; but as this is the fifth year of its publication, any recommendation of ours would be supererogatory. But the Souvenir for 1829, realizes that delightful union of painting, engraving, and literature, (at whose beneficial influence we have glanced in our accompanying number) even more fully than its predecessors. Ten out of the twelve embellishments are from celebrated pictures, and the whole are by first-rate engravers. Of their cost we spoke cursorily in a recent number; so that we shall only particularize a few of the most striking. The engravings are of larger size than heretofore, and, for the most part, more brilliant in design and execution than any previous year. We can only notice _the Sisters_, (frontispiece) full of graceful and pleasing effect, by J.H. Robinson, after Stephanoff; _Cleopatra, on the Cydnus_, a splendid aquatic pageant, by E. Goodall, after Danby; the _Proposal_, consisting of two of the most striking figures in Leslie's exquisite painting of May Day in Queen Elizabeth's time; a _Portrait of Sir Walter Scott_, from Leslie's painting, and considered the best likeness; this is from the burin of an American artist of high promise. We must not, however, forget _Ehrenbreitstein, on the Rhine_, by John Pye, from a drawing by J.M.W. Turner, which is one of the most delightful prints in the whole series.
