FISHER'S

DRAWING ROOM SCRAP-BOOK
FOR 1836;

WITH POETICAL ILLUSTRATIONS

By L. E. L.

Or this favourite Annual it is gratifying to the proprietors to state, that from its commencement, each season has brought a large addition of patrons and friends; (in America alone, the quantity ordered for 1836 quadruples the number required two years ago,) that, unlike many of its Christmas companions, it has never been offered at a reduced price within a few months after its first publication; and that, up to the present moment, the last four volumes continue to command a regular steady sale, the two first having been reprinted twice, and now nearly out of print again.

To maintain its established character has throughout been the anxious and unceasing study of the proprietors.

Critical opinions of last year's volume.

"This is perhaps the most splendid Annual that has yet appeared; how it can be executed for the money is the only wonder."-British Mag.

"This is certainly the most brilliant season of this beautiful and valuable volume."-New Monthly Magazine.

"This Drawing Room Scrap-Book is well calculated to adorn every sort of room, and to afford much pleasure to every class of circles they contain."-Lit. Gaz.

"We think this Annual improves every year."-Frazer's Mag.

"This work scarcely comes within the province of a religious journal, yet as containing 36 most exquisite engravings, we have no hesitation in bearing testimony to its excellence. As a work of art, it is quite a gem."-United Secess.Mag.

"The present volume is quite as splendid as its predecessors. We should think the man miserably destitute of all capability of mental enjoyment, who would not find an hour, occasionally, pleasantly spent amidst its engravings, its music, and its poetry.” —Edinburgh Christian Instructor.

"In the present season-beyond all comparison in poetical beauty, elegance, and permanent value as a book of art-shines 'Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap-Book.""-Tait's Edinburgh Mag. "The Drawing Room Scrap-Book-the Queen of the Annuals. Her Majesty, unlike the majority of beauties, becomes more and more attractive by the lapse of years, and-what is a more difficult test-improves upon acquaintance. Like 'Egypt's graceful Queen,'

'Time cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety.""

Liverpool Chronicle.

"Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap-Book surely is 'ordered to lie on the table' of every house where beautiful pictures, and poetry, and ornamental binding are admired."-Spectator.

"The Drawing Room Scrap-Book is certainly one of the most elegant and attractive of the Annuals."-Eclectic Review.

"We can scarcely imagine a more acceptable present than this elegant and richly-stored quarto."-Bath Gazette.

"This work impresses us with the notion that we have never before seen any thing so cheap-cheap, we mean, in the inviting sense of the term, and without reference to mere price, except as compared with intrinsic value. We recommend the work to the attention of our readers, as one which it is almost a duty to patronise."-The Court Journal,

"It is just that description of work which is calculated by its extreme cheapness to circulate most extensively, and, by the excellence of its pictures, to diffuse an improved taste for works of art among the community at large."-Spectator.
