The custom of publishing books exprealy pre- pared for Christmas and New Yeae’s prevents, com- menced about thirty years since, but was, we be eve, practiced for some years in London before it was introduced into the United States. One of the earlios’ efforta in this country at pmblishing this deaoription of annuals, was made by 8. G@ Good. riot, of Boston, sow United States consul at Paris. It was called *“‘TSe Token,” and oxisted for Afteca years, boing discoutinued in 1812. “The Magnolia” was commenced ia New York, by Monson Banoroft, during this term, but had a short lived existence. “The Gift” was pablithed sucresfully for several years, by Carey & Hart, and discottinued ia 1849. The ‘Leadata of Memory,” an elegant volume, was izeued four or five years, and'disoontinaed the present year. A variety of thoae costly works, pulNished prin- cipally in Now York, Bosten, and Philadelphia, followed cach other in rapid: aueceagion after these wo have named, azd tho booksellers looked to the holiday season as the harvest of their retail cash trade. The annuals im this oountey have over equailed those of’ tho Lon- don press, in the literary character of their arti- cies and the artistic style of their engravings, al- though sometimes exociling them im the gorgeous ness of their bindings. The golden ‘mys of the an- nuals may perhaps be sald to have been from 1898 to 1846, since when they have declined in popularity a3 publications; but a few of them have preserved. their position, and been liberally patronized, “The London Keopsako,” was always a very po- pular work. It was commenced ‘abovt the same time with the ‘Boston Token,” roferrad to above. In 1828 it was edited by I’. M Roynolds;.after which it was euecessively edited by Mrs. Noston, Lady Emeline Stuars Wortley, (author of a “Book of Travols in Ameriva,”) and the Countess of Blesviag- ton. After the death of Lady Blessington, the Keepeake wes continued by Miss Powors. In 1838@ novel experiment was made by tho proprictors of ©The Keepsuke.” In that yous the on artioles written for tho work appeared without the names of the contributors. This plan, we believe, did not prove acceptable iehecaily , aad the original systeus of 'gteing the names of the contributors was re- btore “The Opal” was commenced by J. O. Bikor, (now Scou by AS EE one of the Hkeaup buildings) as publisher, in 1443. Tho literary contents ani the embellishments were strictly American. This-plaa was observed during six annual issues of the work, when it was departed from, so far as toadmit o selection of foreign artiol: Tt was edited by Mr. William Thorve, and its name changed to “The Keepsake.” Tho volume was oularged and far- ther illustrated, and it is acknowledged this yoar to be the most beautiful work of this class of publioa- tions. As “Opel” and “Keepsake,” this volume has been published nine years, » remarkably long timo in this country, where fashion changes ge ra- id}y and the book market is so much influenced y the importations of forcign illustrated works. We do not of course pretend to give a list of alll the annuals which have becn commenced and dis- continued in the United States, Their name is Legion, and the public taste has ch 80 often that the bookcellors Lave foucd it. dificult to meet the wishes and whims of thoir customers.

A vest amount of the highest ordor of ¢ulent has often been employed on the annuals.
