THE COLUMBIAN LADY’S AND GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE for March. Israel Post, 3 Astor Howe.

The pictorial illustrations of this number of the Columbian are a mezzotint by Sadd, from Hilton's picture of the Raising of Lazarus, and a line engraving by Jewett and Rolph, from a design by J. L. Morton of General Putnam's Escape at Horse Neck. There is a plate of ladies’ fashions for March, neatly colored, which we suppose is not considered an illustration, it being chiefly valuable for the information it contains, and not for any novel ideas on the æsthetics of dress. One of the best papers in the Magazine is by Mr. Tuckerman, forming No. 5 of a series called “Thoughts on the Poets.” The subject of the present paper is Gray, for whom Mr. Tuckerman evinces a strong fellow-feeling, and a very thorough appreciation of his character and genius.
