The Pilgrim's Progress. By John Bunyan. (Cassell, Potter, and Galpin.)—This

edition, in royal octavo in profusely gilded boards, copiously illustrated by Messrs. Salons and Paulo Priolo, and still more copiously annotated by the Rev. Robert Maguire, must, we think, stand or fall by its illustrations; and we cannot say that the woodcuts are, in our judgment, entitled to any very high praise. Of the two artists employed we prefer the work of the loss known, some of whose designs of the allegorical characters, such as Mr. Worldly Wiseman, are very striking. Mr. Maguire seems to us to have done absolutely nothing for the edition but increase its bulk.
