Graham's Magazine,

For September, opens with decidedly the finest steel engraving ever published in this country — at least in a Magazine. It is the work of Smillie and Hinshelwood — subject, a lake and forest scene. There is also a really praiseworthy plate of fashions — well designed, well drawn, well colored, and we dare say as authentic as need be. It is French. The literary contents are nearly all good — although we are surprised to find a very indifferent poem by Mr. Longfellow. Mrs. Annan has here also the best tale of the number, “The New Neighbourhood.” Fanny Forrester, Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Stephens, and Park Benjamin, are among the contributors. The Foreign Correspondence (literary) is very interesting — one of the best features of the Magazine.
