Literary Notices, &c.
Friendship's Offering and Winter Wreath, for 1838.
SMITH, ELDER, and Co. Cornhill, London.
For elegance, combined with neatness in the getting up of this very interesting annual, for the variety of articles it contains and the ability they exhibit, and for the beauty of the engravings, it is at least equal to any of the numerous works which are presented to the notice of the public at this season of the year. To enumerate the list of writers for the work remarkable for the elegance of their composition would be to furnish the names of nearly all the best authors of the day. Of the portraits, viz. those of the Hon. Misses Beauclerk, by F. Bacon, and Miss Louisa H. Sheridan, by H. Cook. The latter is an exceedingly graceful performance. "Winning with gloves" is a pleasing and rich engraving, by R. Staines. Indeed, with respect to the articles and the embellishments, of which latter there are eleven, we cannot say more than that the "Friendship's Offering" is highly deserving the notice of the public.
Tait's Edinburgh Magazine for January.
SIMPKIN, MARSHALL �� and Co., London.
TAIT opens this month with an admirable article on Lord Broughton's Education Bill, which is deserving attention, because the plan of that Noble and Learned Lord is not so generally known at present as it should be. The subject is one of the very first importance, and Tait has taken great pains wherein to show the nature of it, and in what respects it is objectionable. The discussion of the bill certainly should be approached with a due consideration of its paramount importance, and of its probable effects on society at large. "The London Peripatetic; or Sketches about Town" we conceive to be a rather laboured article, notwithstanding that the subject is one into which much liveliness and humour might be thrown. It is well written, however, but it wants the two qualities we have named, and which are very essential ones to light reading articles. The rest of the papers in this number are in Tait's general style - excellent. Among the poetic pieces we give the following, entitled -
THE DEVIL IN ERNEST.
In his cabinet chair, King Ernest sat,
Doing the statesman, and all that,
O'er Ernest's shoulder, with earnest gaze,
Peered his old Mephistopheles;
By his "hoof and horn," you might see full quick
Twas only Schule's mask disguised Old Nick;
And glancing from face to face you'd swear
That h--l never mated a likelier pair !
"Ho, ho" quoth Satan, "and so it appears
"You'll summon the States, just once in three years.
"But only for three months at time."
"Ho, ho;" quoth Satan, "a law sublime !"
"And with the three months I'll soon dispense."
"Ha ! ha !" quoth Satan, "that's d--d good sense !"
"And to show," rejoined Ernest, "I mean to be civil
I'll blow the whole beggarly crew to the devil !"
Amazement erected Lucifer's horn;>BR?
His eyes of their light for a space were shorn;
And the goose-quill blazed in Ernest's hand,
As though 'twere a genuine hell-fire brand !
O'er "CONSTITUTION," one stroke he drew,
And cried " 'Tis extinct !
Then, with his sublime excitement pale,
He nodded; and t'other fiend wagged his tail !
"Extinct !" roared Lucifer; now, by this hoof ! -
And that is a curse would rend h--l's roof -
Mock modesty's not your fault, I see;
For this bangs Bannagher; that bangs me !
My heart warms towards you; so does h--l
I'm clearly in ERNEST now - farewell !"
Then paw upon shoulder, and tounge in cheek,
He muttered, "Old cock, you'll be mine next week !"
