The spirit of competition amongst these rival publications ensures so much excellence in their execution, that we know not which to prefer. "Friendship's Offering" has only recently come into the hands of its
present Editor, Mr. T.K. Hervey, author of "Australasia," and he has entirely changed its character and plan, both evidently for the better, as he has been enabled to admit a greater variety of articles from
writers of no mean fame. The Editor has himself furnished him nine poems; others have been contributed by Mr. Bowles, Mr. Jerdan, L.E.L., Bernard Barton, Washington Irving, Horatio Smith, etc. Four new Poems by the
author of "the Seasons," are inserted from the originals in the possession of the Earl of Buchan. |
