&raps. By Henry Jenkins, Esq. (James Blackwood.) — Simply a thick book

of extracts, very thick, and not pretending to any order or arrangement. Mr. Jenkins has probably kept a common-place book for a good many years, and has now given it to the public. If it was to be of any use to the public, it ought to have been accompanied by a careful index, either alphabetical or classified, and the names of the authors of the various pieces ought to have been accurately given. Mr. Jenline culls two poems from Moore without any name at all, and assigns Horace Smith's lines on an Egyptian mummy to the New Monthly Magazine.
