Smith's Weekly Volume. Conducted by the original Editor of “Waldie's Library.” No. 1 to 23. Vol. 1.

This is altogether the handsomest publication of the kind that has been undertaken. The selections are made with good taste, and the amount of matter given very liberal. The external appearance of the “Volume” is very beautiful; we only object to the Vignette, which is copied from Knight's “weekly volume.” The number before us contains in full the eventful life of a Soldier.
