SECOND EDITION.

In this edition many of the former numbers have been corrected and enlarged, and nine new ones have been added.' An index also of those authors and artists upon whose productions any comment or criticism has been passed, is annexed to the second volume, and will, the author hopes, prove useful as an aid to reference.
