47 LUDGATE HILL: December 1, 1859.

HE Season has a Literature peculiarly its own, and to this par excellence ILLUSTRATED LITERATURE we must give place in our usual summary of new books. It may interfere somewhat with our usual system, but when the special features of the present Circular are considered, and the immediate aim of its readers is taken into account, there can be no question that the course we adopt will be the more acceptable. We cover our table therefore with a dozen or more volumes splendent in their bright holiday costume, suggestive of pleasant giftgiving associations, and all timing their arrival in honour of Christmas and the New Year. Let us look at these volumes de luxe, as our neighbours call them, one by one :

First comes the Laureate. "The Princess" is too well established a favourite to need our praise, and we can only talk of the illustrations. They are all-and there are twenty-six of them by Maclise. Some of the drawings were shown to us two years ago by the late Mr. Moxon, and we then thought them the most charming little production of the great R. A. Mr. William Thomas, Messrs. Dalziel, and Mr. Green have engraved them upon the wood, and have done their parts thoroughly well, and we must compliment the new firm -E. Moxon and Co, on having published their first book with complete success.

The two goodly volumes issued by Messrs. Longman and Co. have especial claims on our
