EYES. To

By J M. LACEY, 'Tis in vain to deny it, the eye that I love' Is the eye where bright lustre is giv'n; Whose sparkling enchantments to mor tals may prove,

How seraphs look smiling in heav'n.

CONTENTS.

Publishers, Authors, Artists, and Musical Composers, are requested to transmit announcements of works which they may have in hand, and we shall cheerfully insert them, as we have hitherto done, free of expense. New musical publications also, if a copy be addressed to the publisher, shall be duly noticed in our Review; and extracts from new books, of a moderate length and of an interesting nature, suitable for our Selections, will be acceptable.

The articles obligingly sent by Antiquarius and D. W―r are unavoidably postponed until next Number.

We thank Nobody for his entertaining communication: we hope to hear from him again.

Priscilla Rainbow will perhaps be aware, that the afflicting event we have this month to record, and which has of course led to a general mourning, precludes the possibility of compliance with her request, were there no other obstacle. As, however, the account of the dress to which she refers was sent by our Parisian correspondent, and not the dress itself, we could not procure a correct drawing to be made merely from description.

We should feel pleasure in inserting the Rebus and Solution of Mrs. M. E. S. F. were it not considerably too long: the application of the Rebus and the explanation are very ingenious.

The subject to which the Letter of Mr. G. W. Hill of Chester refers, is very important, and if possible we will take notice of it in our next Number.

For the satisfaction of " two or three constant Subscribers," who wish to see Childe Paddie in London reviewed in the Repository, we have to state, that the book is altogether beneath notice. We regret that the delay of the letter requiring our opinion, prevented us from earlier giving it.

Persons who reside abroad, and who wish to be supplied with this Work every Month as published, may have it sent to them, free of Postage, to New-York, Halifax, Quebec, and to any part of the West Indies, at £4 12s. per Annum, by Mr. THORNHILL, of the General Post-Office, at No. 21, Sherborne-Lane; to Hamburgh, Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malta, or any Part of the Mediterranean, at £4 128. per Aunum, by Mr. SERJEANT, of the General Post-Office, at No. 22, Sherborne-lane; and to the Cape of Good Hope, or any part of the East Indies, by Mr. GUY, at the East-India House. The money to be paid at the time of subscribing, for either 3, 6, 9, or 12 months.
