GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR APRIL has been sent us by Messrs. Burgess, Stringer & Co. It is, as usual handsomely embellished, but we are hardly qualified to speak particularly of its contents, having had time to read but one article — a very discriminating critique on the poetical works of Bryant, from the pen of Mr. Poe. We are sorry to find recorded in the present number, the death of Mr. Godey's estimable mother. Mrs. Hale says —
“The numerous readers of the Lady's Book who may have regretted its delay for several months past, will now understand the painful nature of those duties which engrossed the proprietor, and their kind hears will sympathize with the filial sorrow of an only son. It is the least we can say in this brief notice, that all who knew this excellent and intelligent lady, honored and loved her — and that he was such a mother as, to use the language of the celebrated Richter, will cause her children to venerate all mothers.”
