The Rose, or Affection's Gift for 1846. Edited by EMILY MARSHALL. Illustrated with Ten highly finished Steel Engravings. New-York: D. Appleton & Co.

A 16 mo of 252 pages — beautiful paper, type and binding — upon the whole one of the most meritorious gift-books of the season. The literary contributors (authors’ names not affixed) are all replete with interest, and there is not one of the ten engravings which is not a bijou. The Frontispiece and Title-page are exquisite, and the finest taste is displayed throughout.
