| Note: This review was appended to the ads in the back of the 1826 Literary Souvenir with the note that the 1825 volume was still available. No citations were included; and, of course, the reviews are favorable. |
| In point of literary merit, the palm must be conceded to the Literary Souvenir. Mr. Watts appears to have taken great pains to render his little work deserving of public favour. The embellishments surpass those we have ever seen in any similar work, designed by artists of talent, and engraved in a style of great beauty. We have here a display of genuine taste,---an elegant compendium of our passing literary novelties, which no gentleman need be ashamed to place in the hands of a lady on a new year's day. |
