Another Juvenile Annual, to be called the _Zoological Keepsake_, is announced, with a host of cuts to enliven the "birds, beasts, and fishes" of the smaller growth. The _Gem_ will re-appear as the _Annual Gem_, with thirteen embellishments, superintended by A. Cooper, R. A. The _Bijou_ promises well. The embellishments are of the first order, from pictures by Sir Thomas Lawrence, Stothard, Wilkie, and the lamented Bonington. Among the gems are a splendid portrait of _the King_, from the president's picture, in the possession of Sir William Knighton, Bart.; and a portrait of the beautiful Mrs. Arbuthnot. The _Winter's Wreath _will bloom with more than its accustomed beauty. Among the contributors we notice, for the first time, the author of "Rank and Talent." _Religious Annuals_ are on the increase. One of the novelties of this class is "_Emmanuel_," to be edited by the author of "Clouds and Sunshine," of the excellence of which we have many grateful recollections. The _Iris_, to be edited by the Rev. Thomas Dale, is another novelty in this way. The _Musical Bijou_ has among its composers, Rossini, Bishop, Kalk-brenner, Rodwell, J. Barnet, and others. The lyrists and prose writers are Sir Walter Scott, T.H. Bayley, the Ettrick Shepherd, Messrs. Planche, Richard Ryan, &c. One of the most splendid designs of the season is a "_Landscape Annual, or the Tourist in Italy and Switzerland_," from drawings by Prout; the literary department by T. Roscoe, Esq. and to contain the most attractive views which occur to the traveller on his route from Geneva to Rome. Some of the plates are described as extremely brilliant. Two _Transatlantic Annuals_, the _Atlantic Souvenir_, published at Philadelphia, and the _Token_, published at Boston--may be expected in London. The foregoing are all the announcements we have been able to collect. We miss two or three established favourites; but we hope to make their promises the subject of a future paragraph. * * * * * THE GOOSE. In England the goose is sacred to St. Michael; in Scotland, where dainties were not going every day, "'Twas Christmas sent its savoury goose."
