The British Magazine gives a pretty view of some picturesque
old church in every number. We know of no class of objects of humble beauty, that possess so much interest and awake so many pleasing asso- ciations as a village church, mossed with age, "whose silent spire points to heaven." The venerable age of most of them renders them curious in the eyes of the antiquary for their architecture ; and as they are generally placed amid scenes of rural quiet and beauty, for the lover of the picturesque they possess still greater attractions. The last two or three views have been very nicely lithographed by ALLOM ; and among these are Hodnet (Bishop Heber's) and Poynings. St. Budeaux, Devon, lithographed by PICKEN junior, adorns this number ; which has in addition slight etchings of two of the Van Diemen's Land Com- pany's establishments.
