"Every line of the letter-press is Parisian in-its piquancy: and thanks to the elegant and lively designs of M. Lami, the work is truly Parisian in its illustrations. It is difficult to do justice to the beauty, grace, and variety of its pages. It is not the mere temporary annual, but a real lasting view of men, manners, and circumstances, which may be referred to with pleasure in after times. The subjects are of permanent value, and the satirical dash in the style which brightens them, gives a tone to the whole, and adds to the relish." -Athenæum.

"This superbly decorated volume is unexcelled for exquisitely rich and curious illustrations of antique art. Old Christmas Carols are the very themes to justify lavish embellishment, and here they are carried to perfection. The title page alone is a gem of the kind. The broad gold margin is filled with floral elegance and delightful animal life. The graceful deer, the resplendent peacock, the solemn owl, the smaller tribe of birds down to the very sacred wren, the fly, the butterfly, are all disposed with charming taste, and natural, though done in the gayest colours; whilst fruits of many sorts, and blossoms of every hue, charm the eye, and afford material for long examination. The four miniatures are in the same style of excellence, absolutely wonderful in their effects, and held up in every light form an extraordinary study. The binding, too, is of the richest, and altogether the volume is most honourable to the arts employed in its production."-Literary Gazette.

Mrs. Jameson's diligence of research-her charms of style the acuteness, force, and justice of her remarks -her characteristic touches-the racy and piquant manner with which she relates an anecdote, are too well-known to require eulogy from us."--Court Journal. "An exquisite volume. It is the first time these lovely portraits have been produced in a style worthy of the beauty and interest of the subjects, and it supplies a desideratum in the Fine Arts. The accompanying Memoirs are so many specimens of exquisite composition of rare excellence and high value."-New Monthly. JAMESON'S (MRS.)

IN

1844

"This is not merely a Companion to Private Galleries, but a Collection of Thoughts and Pictures, going far to make the Private Galleries of Art,' every one's private galleries. Mrs. Jameson knows her subject thoroughly, and is so skilful a mistress of language, that few who care about painting will lay down the volume when once taken up; no matter whether at Grosvenor-House, or Stafford-House, at Penzance, or Berwick-upon-Tweed."-Athenæum.
