Cornhill magazine for September. "G. A. writes a valuable paper on Old English clans', in which he collects a formidable amount of evidence from the clan-names that may be traced in England to prove that survivals of totemism can be found even in our Anglo-Saxon progenitors at all events, that many patronymics are derived from a supposed plant or animal descent." Acad., Sept. 10. Cox, Sir G: W. Introduction to the science of comparative mythology and folk-lore. "A pleasant book to read, it will no doubt attract many towards a most interesting subject. Sir G: Cox appears to have ignored almost everything which has been recently published on mythology in general. He does not seem to be in the least conscious that any discredit has been thrown upon his favorite system of mythological interpretation. Accordingly he speaks as dogmatically as ever about the identity of the sun with almost every hero of olden times, and he has not even learned the value of caution in dealing with fairy tales." -Athenæum, May 14.

The latter book begins too late, and the former ends too early. This is the more unfortunate as it is calculated to make English readers lose sight of what is by some considered one of the fundamental truths of zoology - namely, the continuity of life on the earth. Mr. Harting's book relates to the bear, the beaver, the reindeer, the wild boar, and the wolf; and there is a supplementary essay on Wild white cattle'. We would suggest to him essays on the black rat, now all but extinct; on the roe now extinct in England, and existing only by sufferance in Scotland; and on the red deer, once plentiful in many parts of England, but now wild only on Exmoor.

No author more frequently caused a reader to look over his shoulder in the dead hour of night. None made a nervous visitor feel more uncomfortable in the big, bleak bedrooms of old Highland houses. Mr. Le Fanu did not deal much in actual ghosts. His apparitions were much more fearful. Carmilla is a tale that every parent should make haste not to place in the hands of the young. Neither Poe nor Richepin ever invented anything more horrible than the dusky, undu. lating, nocturnal shape of her who was a fair woman by daylight and an insatiate fiend at night. M. Le Fanu's skill in the weaving of plots was greater, we think, than that of Mr. Wilkie Collins, as his humor was more spontaneous aud less mechanical.

Mais c'est un excès de scupule que de vouloir expliquer toute l'histoire d'une caste religieuse en écartant absolument la portion d'influence qui a dû résulter, pour cette caste, de l'élévement religieux lui-même. L'histoire de la société française au Moyen-Age, dans sa forme un peu systématique sans doute, est bien une véritable histoire vivante et complète, et M.

VEP R73P "The leading poem is an allegory, personifying the months, part of them by boys and part by girls, with robins, lambs, and other birds and animals for subordinate characters. The piece strikes us at once as well fitted to be enacted in the parlor by a company of boys and girls, who, with a little costuming, and a few simple stage properties, might make it an attractive tableau vivant'. Miss Rossetti's measures have often a labored originality, which it requires some care on the part of the reader to follow; but occasionally she falls into a strain of the truest melody, and carols blithely like a bird."
