Wide-awake stories; coll. of tales told by little children in the Panjab and Kashmir.

Its contents naturally resemble those of the collections previously made by Miss Frere, Miss Stokes, the Rev. Lal Behari Day, and Mr. Damant; but its authors justly claim for it the merit of special genuineness, inasmuch as 'it has been mostly procured at first-hand from the lips of purely village children, who have never been inside a school,' and whose complete freedom from any European influence is beyond all question."" - Academy, Feb. 14.

Mr. Bent has had the luck and skill to discover a mine of various interests in the Isles of Greece, and he has worked the vein with admirable thoroughness. Every page is rich in living popular antiquities, he discourses in notes of the cold remains of the past ues, coins, vases, buildings, inscriptions, the great Naxian unfinished statue, still lying half created, half imbedded in marble, in the quarry. This work is thirtyfour feet long, and was to represent a bearded Apollo. In Lesbos fire is still carried from place to place in the narthex of Prometheus. The simple mythical invention holds its own in the age of Bryant and May. The archaic lion of Keos, nine yards long, is not less interesting than the unfinished Naxian Apollo; so ancient is the lion that it seems to have given rise to a myth. These are but specimen bricks from the house, examples of the great and lively interest of 'The Cyclades,' a work equally desirable for the archæologist, the historian, the geographer, the student of folklore, and the curious traveller."

The scene is in the dales of Cumberland, where a number of original people are got together and some very horrible events occur. The story has an attraction which it is not easy to describe. The occasional views of society in that roystering emancipated time among the northern towns, and the whole air of cold, wild, mountain weather in the Cumbrian vales are indicated with very unusual skill and success. novel is full of human nature." - Pall Mall budget, May 1.
