The plates in this work are double the size of those in the largest of the Annuals, and have been carefully engraved by the first artists, under the direction of William and Edward Finden. As it is splendidly bound in morocco, richly and appropriately embellished after a design by Corbould, it forms decidedly the most magnificent and attractive annual ever published.

"An Annual of the same class to which the 'Flowers of Loveliness' and 'Gems of Beauty' belong, and it is superior to both in its plan and execution."—Spectator.

"Every one of the engravings is worth the notice of the collector, and the whole form a charming portfolio: the binding is so rich and tasteful as to merit a distinct notice."—Atlas.

"This addition to the list of Annuals, is a pearl richer than all its tribe."—Court Journal.

"Nor do we doubt of the present work, from the great interest belonging to its subjects, from the ability with which these are treated, and the splendid manner in which it is got up, becoming one of the most popular; for assuredly it will be among the most permanently useful Annuals yet published."—Monthly Review.
