Mr. LESLIE'S " Bride," (as it is called) which was

one of the most attractive embellishments of the Annuals for this year, has been very delicately stippled by Mr. THOMPSON on a larger scale, and forms a pleasing print. The face is pretty, but its beauty is of an insipid cha- racter, and it does not possess that kind of expression which one expects to give interest to the countenance of a bride. The costume and effect are graceful and agreeable, and the engraving, though somewhat defi- cient in force, is soft and pure ; the eyes, however, are not in correct drawing, and the fingers have no bone in them.
