CHEAP PUBLICATIONS.

These are the days of cheap books ; they are also becoming those of cheap prints. There are several series of Views in England, Paris, &c. published- in quarto size; at one shilling per number, each containing four plates, two on a page ; and accompanied with descriptive letterpress. The execution of these works is very good ; and they are worthy of a place in a library. The engravings are not, as may be supposed, of the very first order, but they, are neat and respectable, and do fair justice to the original drawings. These last are, in many instances, very excellent.
