The May-Flower, for 1846. Edited by Robert Hamilton. Boston: Saxton & Kelt. For sale in New York by Saxton & Huntingdon, at the Boston Book-Store, 295 Broadway.

The first published Annual, we believe, of the season, and one which will not be readily excelled; — the editor, Mr. Robert Hamilton, is entitled to great credit for the taste and tact displayed in its whole getting up. The plates are seven mezzotints by Sartain, from paintings by Deveria, Billings, Topham, Van Holst, Crowley, Winterwaller, and Wilkie. All of these are good and some admirable. “Cup-Tossing” will be universally admired. The contributions are, generally, from the most noted names in American letters. Mr. Hamilton himself contributes several fine poems. We shall speak of the book more in detail next week. It is beautifully printed, and bound in embossed morocco.
