Literary Notices.
The Keepsake . Edited by the Countess of Blessington . Bogue . The critic becomes divided in his allegiance when reviewing this splendid annual . As a work of art it proudly rivals its compeers ; all that taste and artistical execution could effect is here pourtrayed ; and the literary department , at the head of which is to be ranked " the Countess , " displays a series of interesting papers , in prose and verse . The portrait of Jenny Lind is too beautiful—simply , because that
admirable woman is so interesting , that it is difficult to give art the extreme power of nature—and this is wanting . The sketch of the Countess of Essex is faultless . The engravings of the Chamber of Peers in the Luxembourg palace , and La Baurse , are well done , and reflect great credit on the artists . Added to her own papers , the Keepsake is embellished b y contributions from Mrs . Abdy , Miss Grace D'Aquilar , Mrs . S . C . Hall , Sir Bulwer Lytton , Barry Cornwall , Lord John Manners , and others .
A Voice from Windsor . By Veritas . Strange . The author is among those whose loyalty would dispose him very naturally to resist any encroachment on the privacy of his sovereign , yet would urge him equally to resist the encroachments of attaches to state apartments on the credulity of the public—and Veritas is right . The prosperity of the town is implicated in the result of ' ¦ the Voice from Windsor . "
Letters addressed to the Right Honourables Lord Granville Somerset , Frankland Lewis , Earl of Ripott , and Henry Goulburn . By James Sedgwick , Esq . Ridgway . The dissolution of the late Board of Stamps , the proceedings of which were sudden , and continue unexplained to this day , during which ; Mr . ' Sedgwick , the chairman , was summarily dismissed , without compensationuntil recently a very small annuity has been grantedwill probabl
, , y give rise to parliamentary enquiry ; the present pamphlet will become an interesting record of transactions of a most unheard-of persecution ^ . If Mr . Sedgwick is unsuccessful in his appeal , he will have the satisfaction , to know that in his " address to the public , " he has at least sustained the character of an English gentleman .
The Position of the Jews . By M . P . Haynes . Effingham Wilson . This brochure has been issued in consequence of the return to parliament of Baron Lionel de Rothschild ; among other points adduced in reference to the Jews , is the step lately taken by the members of the Masonic Craft in England in regard to the Grand Lodge of Prussia , whereby justice was in a measure rendered to Brethren of the Jewish faith . There are , of course , many other points worthy of attention . '"'
Two Lectures on the Life and Writings of Maimonides . By D . A . Benisch . Wertbeim . / These Lectures were delivered at the Jews' and general Literary and Scientific Institution ; they embrace very copious annals of the times and character of Moses , son of Maimon , hence the name of Maimonides , and are , no doubt , highly interesting to the Jewish , and , indeed , to all who desire to acquire a knowledge of many facts not generally pub ,-lished , and consequently but little known . :, ,,
