Carriage dress. Pelisse of merino, colour brun d'aveline, corded with gros de Naples of the same colour. The corsage is plain, and very close to the shape, and over it is an elegant pelerine. It is pointed at the waist, before and behind, and is cut into three straps, on each side of the back, wide at the upper part, and becoming smaller towards the waist, where they meet in a sharp angle under the ceinture. The epaulette, or jockey, is very large, and divided into two points, joined halfway down by lanquettes left on each side, and festooned together by corded knots. The skirt is made quite plain, and very full, especially at the back part. Sleeve large at the top, and of the usual size at the wrist, which is ornamented by a superb gold bracelet. Hat white moiré, with soft ostrich feathers, or marabouts, and brides of satin ribbon. Collerette and mentonnières of quilled tulle. Gloves and shoes of brun d'aveline.

PLATE 2, FIG. 1.

Evening dress of blonde, worn over a slip of white satin. This splendid dress

has a deep flounce round the skirt, surmounted by a broad band of lace, and a scalloped heading. The corsage is made uni, and rather en cœur, and has over it a a very rich stomacher of blonde, which is continued over the shoulders, forming deep epaulettes, and from thence to the bottom of the waist behind, to match the front, This part of the dress is edged with scalloped blonde, with loops of gauze ribbon in front, and on each shoulder. The sleeve is short, finished by a fall of blonde, set in naves on a plaited band of ribbon. Ceinture of gauze ribbon.

FIG. 2.

Walking dress. Pelisse of crimson terry velvet. The body is made close to the figure. An ornament, forming at once a lappel and an epaulette, crosses the bust, ending at the waist in front and back. The collar, of ermine, is large and square, and covers the shoulder to a considerable depth. This is cut à la imbécille, and has a deep manchette of ermine. A beautiful trimming of progressive scrolls over a plaited band of satin, distinguish this elegant pelisse. The garniture is set on a little en tablier, and is carried quite to the bottom of the shirt, having the appearance of covering a part of the deep flounce of ermine which finishes the pelisse.

THE EDITOR'S ROOM.

Divines of the Church of England, Nos. 'xv. xvi. xvii.-Family Classical Library, Nos. xx. xxi. xxii.

THE volumes of the Divines of the Church of England, now before us, complete so much of Jeremy Taylor's works as it is intended to give. The last volume (xvii.) contains the whole of his "Holy Living and Dying." We have already expressed our opinion upon the subject of thus mutilating the productions of one of the greatest men England has produced, and we have only to repeat our regret that the mutilation has been deemed expedient. We have, however, five volumes of this distinguished writer, and they possess an intrinsic value; but the possessor of them is not released from the necessity of seeking to procure the remainder of his works; a necessity that cannot fail to diminish the separate sale of this portion of the series. With this exception, we are prepared to reiterate our unqualified approbation of the design and execution of this very valuable undertaking.

The three volumes of the Family Classical Library, above enumerated, contain Dr. Smith's elegant and faithful translation of Thucydides. The two next numbers of the Divines of the Church of England are to comprise Bishop Hall's "Contemplations:" and the ensuing ones of the Family Classical Library "Plutarch's Lives." We suppose it will not be considered as entering within the legitimate scope of the former, to give us also the "Three Centuries of Meditations and Vows, Divine and Moral," or the two books of the "Characters of Virtue and Vice," of the British Seneca.

THE ANNUALS.

We have at length arrived at the period when the splendid tribe of literary and musical offerings, called annuals, demand all our attention, and vie with each other in their claims to priority of notice, and pre-eminence of station. Already we have received, though some of them at a later period of the month than will enable us to do justice to their merits, the two "Forget me nots" of Mr. Ackermann, the elder of which has adopted crimson sik clothing, instead of its paper case; "The Amulet," The Juvenile Forget me not" of Mrs. Hall, Friendship's Offering," " The Winter's Wreath," "The Bouquet," Mr. Harrison's "Humourist," ," "The Comic Offering" of Miss Sheridan, and, for we know not a more appropriate present among the whole tribe, and must class it with the annuals, Mrs. Alexander Kerr's splendid volume of Songs, illustrated with engravings, by Finden and other celebrated artists. The embellishments of Mr. Prout's "Continental Annual "also reached us almost at the eleventh hour, and promise that the work itself will be second to none of the annuals. The literary claims of the Annuals are varied but slender; indeed the system of providing light reading is pretty general, and favouritism produces a large majority of what can at best be termed pretty poetry and amusing tales. "The Amulet," as a whole, takes the lead in literature; it is the furthest removed from frivolity, and combines, with a sprinking of light, spirited articles, more of solid worth than its rivals aim at. The "Forget me not of Mr. Ackermann, "Friendship's Offering," and the "Winter's Wreath," have several striking papers, and are equal to any of their predecessors. The "Juvenile Forget me nots," are pretty and appropriate; Mrs. Hall, however, is a formidable rival to Ackermann. Miss Sheridan's "Comic Offering" is decidedly better than her former volume, there are many irresistible drolleries which give a light and humorous turn to almost every paper, and Mr. Harrison is more happy in his laborious undertaking than he was in last year's "Humourist." "The Bouquet" appears to contain about half original articles, and half selections, among which are some of the most splendid papers that have appeared for the last twenty years in the periodicals of the day, while the original articles, if not equal to their companions, seem to have been written for the embellishments, and to this may be attributed whatever disparagement they may suffer by comparison.

We have given specimens from those which arrived in time, and shall complete the whole in our next number. Leaving, therefore, the selections to speak for their respec tive works, we dismiss for the present the literary claims of these splendid periodicals.

EMBELLISHMENTS OF THE ANNUALS.

We are unable to give any thing like a critical notice of the numerous works of art which grace the Annuals, and preferring the absence of all remark to a hurried review, we content ourselves with generally observing that there is an evident improvement throughout the whole, and enumerating the plates of all that we received in time to look over.
