The Chameleon is a species of Annual. It is at

any rate a vo- lmne of prose and verse, which will probably be repeated from year to year. It differs from the Annuals in this respect, that it is written by one hand ; and as it was said of Dr. JOHNSON'S Dictionary, that he had beaten forty Frenchmen and could beat forty more, we say of the author, that the mass of his solitary pro- ductions is superior to the mass in any one of the highly-adorned Annuals which rejoice in the names of precious stones or never- to-be-forgotten symbols of friendship, and are the composition of some thirty or forty veterans of literature.
