When we arose from the table, grace was repeated, and the English traveller took his leave, after entering his name in the visiter's book, and expressing in feeling and appropriate terms, his acknowledgements for the hospitality he had received.

I turned over its leaves with considerable interest, from the number of my distinguished countrymen, who had there recorded their names, and their gratitude.

The greater number of these travellers visited the Hospice in the months of July and August; and, consequently, beheld the scene under a far different and more cheerful aspect than myself. A few, however, appeared to have encountered all the hardships of the most inclement weather, and the horrors of the tempest.'

Of the embellishments, we shall only now say generally, that the selection does credit to Mr. Watts's taste, and that they form altogether the most splendid series of engravings we have seen in any volume of the kind. We shall probably take some other opportunity of entering into more minute criticism, and of examining at the same time the opinions expressed touching the arts and artists.

Turner's Annual Tour contains twenty splendid Turneresque views on the Seine, illustrated by a lively series of travelling sketches and historical notices from the ready and graphic pen of Mr. Leitch Ritchie. It is altogether a delightful volume; but, having named the subject, the artist, and the writer, we do not know that we need add a word of recommendation.
