A Pictorial edition of the Book of Common Prayer, to

corre• spond with the Pictorial Bible. has been commenced by Mr. KNIGHT, in monthly parts. The type is large and clear, and the pages are adorned profusely with the most beautiful wood- engravings—far more highly-finished specimens of the art than those in the Pictorial Bible. Besides head and tail-pieces, con- sisting of interior and exterior views of cathedrals set in Gothic framework, beautiful designs from the great masters are inter- spersed ; and each prayer is commenced with an initial letter of curious and elegant device, enclosing some graceful figure or group. In short, it is a Protestant Missal, with wood-engravings instead of illuminated paintings. The notes, explanatory and de- votional, are by the Reverend HENRY STEBBING.
