Messrs. Hildesheimer and Co. (Silk Street) send us specimens of

their Christmas and New Year's Cards, containing some very large ones, and some cut out into the shape of human figures, representing Christmas and Christmas benefactors bestowing their benefactions on those who need them. There are a good many illustrated texts, some blank cards to be filled up by pencilled -drawings from the hand of the sender, who is provided with pencils for the purpose, and a good many coloured landscapes.
