We have nearly ready an elegant portrait of the Hon. John Fairfield, U. S. Senator, Maine, which was designed for the February number; but rather than delay its publication even a few days longer, or endanger the beauty of the print by too great haste, we shall place it in the March Number. We have made such arrangements as hereafter to cause no delay on account of of our portraits, as was the case this and the preceding month. Henceforth from this and no other cause, shall we permit the prompt issue of the Review to be interrupted. (See notice of our Portraits at the end of this Number.) NOTICE TO THE BINDER. The title page to the 17th Volume, the insertion of which was accidentally omitted in the December, will be found at the end of this number. The Index to the same volume was given in the January number. artist has recently offered $300 for it. It is the property, we believe, of the widow of the late Luman Reed, Esq., and is now in the possession of J. Sturgis, Esq., of this city. The long protracted and minute labor of finishing the plate, has seriously, but we trust not permanently, affected the sight of the artist. Mr. Dick acknowledges with gratitude, much valuable, friendly assistance re ceived from the artists, Durand and Doney. If any of our readers shall feel induced by this recommendation to desire to possess it, by adding $1 to the price of the engraving, and forwarding it to Mr. Dick, (66 Fulton st., New-York,) they can receive it, securely packed, for transmission to any distance. For the further addition of $9, a handsome gilt frame will also be furnished. MONTHLY LITERARY BULLETIN. The APPLETONE, N. Y., have in preparation, the Greek and Latin Books of T. K.
