The May flower for 1846. Edited by ROBERT HAMILTON. — Boston: Saxton & Kelt. For sale in New-York by Saxton & Miles and Saxton & Huntingdon.

We have twice before noticed “The May-flower “but, while we are on the subject of Annuals, cannot refrain from once again calling attention to its merits.

It opens with a very beautiful frontispiece — a mezzotint by Sartain from a painting by Winterhalter. The engravings throughout are by Sartain, and all are excellent — particularly so — in the way of small mezzotints we have never seen anything better. One of them, “Cup-Tossing,” from Crowley, is truly exquisite.

The contributions are, in general, from the most noted pens in America.
