CURRENT LITERATURE.

GIFT-BOOKS.

Messrs. Marcus Ward and Co. send us their very pretty Pocket- Books, Diaries, Calendars, &c., which are models of neat workman- ship and convenient shape. The calf pocket-book, the lizard-skin pocket-book, and the calf diaries are all most elegant and con- venient; and Messrs. Marcus Ward's quarterly diaries, which replace each other as the quarter comes to an ond, afford much more room for business purposes than those of the other publishers. The block calendars are also very useful.
