We have before us a collection of fourteen drawings by Mr. Van Schaick very much after the fashion of the drawings in "Life"; yet as a whole, more finished and pleasant. Each is accompanied by its scrap of conversation, which we read, of course, and then laugh at abstractedly as we look again at the drawing that has as much to do with anything else as the joke attached to it. It is strange that this society picture with its inane joke dangling below should be so popular. Yet "The Lorgnette" is better than the usual collection of the sort, and will undoubtedly amuse its owner for twenty minutes, - perhaps all it was intended to do.
