The Perennial, and A Voice from the Dormitory, are also

of rather a serious kind, each containing a selection of poems on moral and religious subjects. There is this difference, however, between them—the Perennial has chiefly selected its gems from modern writers ; the Voice has drawn upon our elder bards. Hence the poems in the first have more of elegance and harmony; in the second, more of matter and quaint force. The Voice is neatly got up; the Perennial beautifully—its small size, green silk binding, and gilt leaves, qualify it for the most elegant closet of the proudest female despiser of pomps and vanities.
