 MY LITTLE COUSINS

 RUTH AND ESTHER

_PREFACE_ (p. Ix)

This little book, a revision of one privately printed a few years ago, has been prepared for home use, and for this reason the classificationhas been made according to the age, and not the school grade, of thechild. But as children differ so greatly in capacity, it should beunderstood that in this respect the arrangement is only approximate. The endeavor has been made to choose those fairy tales which are mostfree from horrible happenings, and to omit all writings which tolerateunkindness to animals. Humorous books are designated by a star and thefew sad ones by a circle. 

The prices given are the same as those in the publishers' catalogues;booksellers' prices are often less. 

My thanks are extended to those publishers who have time and againcourteously provided the facilities for the examination of theirpublications. 

Miss Annie Carroll Moore, of the New York Public Library, was kindenough to read for me the notes and comments. I wish most gratefullyto acknowledge the generous assistance given me by Miss Hewins, of (p. X)the Hartford Public Library, Miss Hunt, of the Brooklyn PublicLibrary, and Miss Jordan, of the Boston Public Library, who examinedthe List, and suggested some changes and a few additions. Theirapprobation is elsewhere expressed. GERTRUDE WELD ARNOLD. NUTLEY, NEW JERSEY. 

_A MOTHER'S LIST_ (p. Xi)

It is said, in that earliest collection of English proverbs which wasmade by John Heywood, more than three hundred years ago, that"Children must learn to creep before they can go. " This little bookfor which I am asked to write a brief preface is, so far as I can findout, the first consistent effort yet made towards teaching children toread on John Heywood's principle. It is safe to say that it isdestined to carry light and joy into multitudes of households. It isbased upon methods such as I vaguely sighed after, nearly fifty yearsago, when I was writing in the _North American Review_ for January, 1866, a paper entitled Children's Books of the Year. The essay waswritten by request of Professor Charles Eliot Norton, then the editorof that periodical, and I can now see how immensely I should have beenrelieved by a book just like this Mother's List, a device such asnobody in that day had the wisdom and faithful industry to puttogether. 

In glancing over the books discussed in that early paper of mine, itis curious to see how the very titles of some of the most prominenthave now disappeared from sight. Where are the Little Prudy books (p. Xii)which once headed the list? Where are the stories of Oliver Optic?Where is Jacob Abbott's John Gay; or Work for Boys? Even Paul andVirginia have vanished, taking with them the philosophic Rasselas andeven the pretty story of Undine. Nothing of that list of thirty titlesis now well remembered except Cooper's Leatherstocking and JaneAndrews's Seven Little Sisters Who Live on the Round Ball That Floatsin the Air, a book which has been translated into the languages ofremote nations of the globe, I myself having seen the Chinese andJapanese versions. Thus irregular is the award of time and we mustaccept it. Meanwhile this new book is organized on a better plan thanany dreamed of at that former period, the books being arranged notmerely by classes alone, but according to the age of the proposedreaders and stretching in regular order from two years old untilfourteen. The whole number of books being very large, there is nooverdue limitation, and this forms the simple but magical method ofreaching every variety of childish mind. 

Thus excellent have been the changes: yet it is curious to (p. Xiii)observe on closer study that the two classes of books which representthe two extremes among the childish readers--Mother Hubbard andShakespeare--may still be said to be the opposite poles between whichthe whole world of juvenile literature hangs suspended. A child needsto be supplied with a proper diet of fancy as well as of fact; and offact as well as fancy. He is usually so constituted that if he were tofind a fairy every morning in his bread and milk at breakfast, itwould not very much surprise him; while yet his appetite for thesubstantial food remains the same. Alice's Adventures in Wonderlandseem nowhere very strange to him, while Chaucer and Spenser need onlyto be simply told, while Dana's Two Years Before the Mast and Hughes'sTom Brown's School Days at Rugby hold their own as well as Jack andthe Bean-Stalk. Grown up people have their prejudices, but childrenhave few or none. A pound of feathers and a pound of lead will usuallybe found to weigh the same in their scales. Nay, we, theirgrandparents, know by experience that there may be early cadences intheir ears which may last all their lives. For instance, Caroline (p. Xiv)Fry's Listener would now scarcely find a reader in any group ofchildren, yet there is one passage in the book--one which forms theclose of some beggar's story about "Never more beholding MargaretSomebody and her sunburnt child"--which would probably bring tears tothe present writer's eyes today, although he has not seen the booksince he was ten years of age. 

It may be that every mature reader will miss from the list some bookor books of that precious childish literature which once throve andflourished behind school desks. They were books founded partly onfamous history, as that of Baron Trenck and his escapes from prison, Rinaldo Rinaldini, and The Three Spaniards. I am told that children donot now find them in a pedlar's pack as we once found them, accompanied by buns and peddled like them at recess time. Even if weshould find them both in such a place, they might have no such flavorfor us now. It is something if the flowers of American gossip areretained in similar stories, even if their atmosphere is retreatingfrom all the hills. It is enough to know that we have for all ourchildren the works of Louisa Alcott and Susan Coolidge; that they (p. Xv)have Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy and Mrs. Dodge's Hans Brinker andMiss Hale's Peterkin Papers and The William Henry Letters by Mrs. Diaz. We need not complain so long as our children can lookinexhaustively across the ocean for Andrew Lang's latest fairy-bookand Grimm's Household Stories as introduced to a new immortality byJohn Ruskin. THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON. CAMBRIDGE, MASS. , _January 4, 1909_. 

_APPRECIATIONS_ (p. Xvii)

I think your selections very carefully made and well adapted tochildren who have books at home and mothers who read them. .. . Withmany congratulations on the excellence of your book, both in form andsubstance, believe me yours sincerely, CAROLINE M. HEWINS. _Hartford Public Library. _

You do not owe me any thanks for my little assistance, for you havegiven me quite as much as I have given you. It is more stimulatingthan you can believe to discuss the subject with one whose point ofview is not that of the librarian. You must not call yourself anamateur, however, for you are an expert on children's books. I havegained a great many ideas from you, and have enjoyed comparing noteswith you immensely. Sincerely yours, CLARA W. HUNT. _Brooklyn Public Library. _

I am sending back your book with my notes and suggestions. It is (p. Xviii)an uncommonly good list, however, and there is little that I have wishedto add or to take away. .. . Your list is so good that I know you musthave spent a great deal of time and very definite thought over it. Youhave certainly covered the ground thoroughly. .. . I have enjoyed seeingyour list and shall be greatly interested in seeing it in final form. 

 Sincerely yours, ALICE M. JORDAN. _Boston Public Library. _

A MOTHER'S LIST OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN (p. 21)

_TWO YEARS OF AGE_

_O Babees yonge, My Book only is made for youre lernynge. _ THE BABEES BOOK. _Circa 1475. _

PICTURE-BOOKS

 The baby's first book will naturally be a picture-book, for pictures appeal to him early, and with great force. .. . If we understood children better, we should realize this vitality which pictures have for them, and should be more careful to give them the best. W. T. FIELD. 

THE CHILDREN'S FARM. Dutton. 1. 25

These colored pictures of the different farm animals, mounted onboards, will please the littlest ones. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Mother Hubbard. Lane. . 25

As children are favorably influenced by good pictures, it is a pity togive them any but the best, among which Walter Crane's certainlystand. Attention is drawn to the designs of the cover-pages of the (p. 22)books of this series, which are quite as attractive as the textillustrations. 

The drawings for Mother Hubbard are among Mr. Crane's most successfulefforts. Tiny folk will be entranced with the pictures of thismarvellous white doggie. 

 "This wonderful Dog Was Dame Hubbard's delight, He could sing, he could dance, He could read, he could write. "

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). This Little Pig. Lane. . 25

Let us travel to Piggy-land for a few moments, with the baby, and itwill probably be the first of many trips, with these gay pictures toguide us. 

_THREE YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 23)

 _A dreary place would be this earth, Were there no little people in it; . . . . . . . . . . Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm, Were there no babies to begin it. _ WHITTIER. 

PICTURE-BOOKS

 What an unprejudiced and wholly spontaneous acclaim awaits the artist who gives his best to the little ones! They do not place his work in portfolios or locked glass cases; they thumb it to death, surely the happiest of all fates for any printed book. GLEESON WHITE. 

BANNERMAN, HELEN. *The Story of Little Black Sambo. Stokes. . 50

Written and illustrated by an Englishwoman in India for her two smalldaughters, Little Black Sambo, with its absurd story, and funny crudepictures in color, will delight young children of all lands. 

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). The Farmer's Boy. Warne. . 25

These delicately colored prints, with their atmosphere of Englishcountry life, well accord with the old cumulative verses which theyaccompany. Mr. Caldecott has charmingly illustrated this and the (p. 24)following picture-books. Some of the illustrations in each book are incolor and some in black and white. 

 The Caldecott toy-books, They fix for all time The favorite heroes Of nursery rhyme. 

 The Caldecott toy-books-- We never shall find A gracefuller pencil, A merrier mind! L. 

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). A Frog He Would a-Wooing Go. Warne. . 25

The drawings portray Mr. Frog, Mr. Rat, and the tragic ending to thefestivities at Mousey's Hall. 

 Caldecott was a fine literary artist, who was able to express himself with rare facility in pictures in place of words, so that his comments upon a simple text reveal endless subtleties of thought. .. . You have but to turn to any of his toy-books to see that at times each word, almost each syllable, inspired its own picture. .. . He studied his subject as no one else ever studied it. .. . Then he portrayed it simply and with inimitable vigor, with a fine economy of line and colour; when colour is added, it is mainly as a gay convention, and not closely imitative of nature. GLEESON WHITE. 

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). (p. 25) Hey Diddle Diddle, and Baby Bunting. Warne. . 25

The pictures to Hey Diddle Diddle are instinct with joyousness. BabyBunting's father was a jovial huntsman of the old English type. 

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). The House that Jack Built. Warne. . 25

Children will be greatly amused by the funny Rat. 

 "That ate the Malt, That lay in the House that Jack built. "

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). The Milkmaid. Warne. . 25

We are glad when the young squire, whose interest in the destinationof the pretty maid the old song recounts, meets his proper desertsthrough the clever pencil of Mr. Caldecott. 

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). The Queen of Hearts. Warne. . 25

These pictures suggest in color and design those found on playingcards, and they are very good indeed. 

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). (p. 26) Ride a-Cock Horse to Banbury Cross, and A Farmer Went Trotting upon His Grey Mare. Warne. . 25

Wouldn't we all like to ride these sturdy nags through the lovelyEnglish country, even if we weren't to have the extra attraction ofseeing a fine lady on a white horse?

Children will love to read of the stout farmer and his prettydaughter, who went trotting to market, "Bumpety, bumpety, bump!"

CALDECOTT, RANDOLPH (Illustrator). Sing a Song for Sixpence. Warne. . 25

The little boy and girl king and queen are fascinating to real littleboys and girls, and it is pleasant to be sure from the pictures thatthey liked the same things that children like to-day. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). The Baby's Opera. Warne. 1. 50

 A Book of Old Rhymes with New Dresses by Walter Crane. The Music by the Earliest Masters. --_Title-page. _

This collection of English rhymes contains The Mulberry Bush, KingArthur, Jack and Jill, and many others equally familiar, with theaccompanying music for each. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). (p. 27) The Fairy Ship. Lane. . 25

 "There were fifty little sailors Skipping o'er the decks; They were fifty little white mice, With rings around their necks. "

_FOUR YEARS OF AGE_ (p. 28)

An exceptional collection of the ancient rhymes, songs, charms, andlullabies, accompanied by interesting pictures. 

 "In Mr. Halliwell's Collection, from which this volume is abridged, no manuscript authority goes further back than the reign of Henry VIII, though King Arthur and Robin Hood are mentioned. .. . Thus our old nursery rhymes are smooth stones from the book of time, worn round by constant friction of tongues long silent. "

STEVENSON, R. L. A Child's Garden of Verses. Illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith. Scribner. 2. 50

It is generally admitted that no one has comprehended and written fromthe child's point of view as did Stevenson. This volume should beamong the first to be put into the hands of our little ones.

LA FONTAINE, JEAN DE. Select Fables from La Fontaine. Illustrated by L. M. Boutet de Monvel. S. P. C. K. Stechert. 1. 80

This edition is chosen because of Monsieur Boutet de Monvel's charmingsmall illustrations in color. There are from two to eight pictures oneach page, accompanying the text, which is in verse. (p. 34)

 As color appeals to the child before he has much notion of form, his first picture-book should be colored, and as his ideas of form develop slowly, his first pictures should be in outline, and unencumbered with detail. The French illustrator, Boutet de Monvel, has given us the ideal pictures for young children. W. T. FIELD. 

POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIESADAPTED FROM GREAT AUTHORS

BURGESS, GELETT. (p. 35) *Goops and How To Be Them. A Manual of Manners for Polite Infants. Illustrated by the Author. Stokes. 1. 50

If there ever was anyone who could cover little pills with a thickcoating of sugar, it was Mr. Burgess when he wrote these clever versesand drew these ninety original and always funny pictures. Childrendelight in the Goops. It is almost worth while being one to have thisvolume of warning thrust into our hands. 

 "I never knew a Goop to help his mother, I never knew a Goop to help his dad, And they never do a thing for one another; They are actually, absolutely bad!

 "If you ask a Goop to go and post a letter, Or to run upon an errand, _how_ they act! But somehow I imagine you are better, And you _try_ to go, and _cry_ to go, in fact!"

Mr. Headland, who is a professor in the Imperial University at Peking, tells us: "There is no language in the world, we venture to believe, which contains children's songs expressive of more keen and tenderaffection. .. .

The Oriental atmosphere of the book and the many Chinese pictures leadour children of the Western world most delightfully into this oldland.

NORTON, C. E. (Editor). Heart of Oak Books. Volume I. Rhymes, Jingles, and Fables. Heath. . 25

 "Mother Goose is the best primer. No matter if the rhymes be nonsense verses; many a poet might learn the lesson of good versification from them, and the child in repeating them is acquiring the accent of emphasis and of rhythmical form. "--_Preface. _

SAGE, BETTY (Pseudonym of Mrs. E. (S. ) Goodwin). Rhymes of Real Children. Illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith. Duffield. 1. 50

These verses are written from the child's point of view, and aredelightful alike to young and old. Miss Smith never did better workthan in these beautiful sympathetic pictures and fascinating borders. The book is a large square one.

ANDREWS, JANE. The Seven Little Sisters Who Live on the Round Ball That Floats in the Air. Ginn. . 50

These simple stories, written for the girls and boys of a generationago, have taken their place among the charming and vivid descriptionsof child-life in different lands. 

 The round ball is the earth, and the sisters are the tribes that dwell thereon. The little book was conceived in a happy hour; its pictures are so real and so graphic, so warm and so human, that the most literal and the most imaginative of children must find in them, not only something to charm, but also to mould pleasant associations for maturer years. THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON. 

MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES

 And as with the toys, so with the toy-books. They exist everywhere: there is no calculating the distance through which the stories come to us, the number of languages through which they have been filtered, or the centuries during which they have been told. Many of them have been narrated, almost in their present shape, for thousands of years since, to little copper-coloured Sanscrit children, listening to their mother under the palm-trees by the banks of the yellow Jumna--their (p. 42) Brahmin mother, who softly narrated them through the ring in her nose. The very same tale has been heard by the Northmen Vikings as they lay on their shields on deck; and by Arabs couched under the stars on the Syrian plains when the flocks were gathered in and the mares were picketed by the tents. THACKERAY. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Aladdin. Lane. . 25

These richly colored Eastern pictures will give even little children asuggestion of the splendor of the Orient. Let us hope that they willnever be too ready to answer the call of "New lamps for old ones. "

 Walter Crane is the serious apostle of art for the nursery, who strove to beautify its ideal, to decorate its legends with a real knowledge of architecture and costume, and to mount the fairy stories with a certain archæological splendor. .. . As a maker of children's books, no one ever attempted the task he fulfilled so gayly, and no one since has beaten him on his own ground. GLEESON WHITE. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Lane. . 25

It seems hardly right to omit this edition of so celebrated a talepictured by so celebrated an artist, yet Mr. Crane's work breathesmystery and Oriental cunning from every page, and should be given toour youngsters only after examination, as a highly-strung child mightbe frightened by it. The picture of the resourceful Morgiana fillingthe oil-jars, while a dreadful robber with saucer-like eyes peers (p. 43)from one of them, is awful indeed. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Beauty and the Beast. Lane. . 25

Charming illustrations accompany this prose version of the ancientfavorite which will long endure because of the great truth underlyingthe grotesque tale. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Cinderella. Lane. . 25

May every little girl find the fairy prince of her imagination!

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). The Frog Prince. Lane. . 25

The story of the frog who was transformed into the handsome prince isas immortal as childhood. May we all remember the King's command tohis daughter: "He who helped you in the time of your trouble must notnow be despised. "

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). Jack and the Bean-Stalk. Lane. . 25

Ogre-like indeed is the giant, and we breathe a sigh of relief whenverses as well as pictures make it quite certain that Jack has escapedfor the third time with his golden treasure. The beans of King (p. 44)Alfred's day seem to have closely resembled the wild oats of our own. 

CRANE, WALTER (Illustrator). The Sleeping Beauty. Lane. . 25

 "So sweet a face, so fair--was never beauty such as this; He stands--he stoops to gaze--he kneels-- he wakes her with a kiss. He leads her forth; the magic sleep of all the Court is o'er-- They wake, they move, they talk, they laugh, just as they did of yore A hundred years ago. "

POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIES ADAPTED FROMGREAT AUTHORS

 Children seem to possess an inherent conviction that when the hole is big enough for the cat, no smaller one at the side is needed for the kitten. They don't really care for "Glimpses" of this, or "Gleanings" of that, or "Footsteps" to the other--but would rather stretch and pull, and get on tiptoe to reach the sweeter fruit above them, than confine themselves to the crabs which grow to their level.

It is a good thing for children to learn from these quaint verses, with their charming illustrations, the sort of reading which pleasedthe small folks of long ago. The Taylors seldom struck so happy a veinas in the poem called The Field Daisy, which begins:

 "I'm a pretty little thing, Always coming with the Spring; In the meadows green I'm found, Peeping just above the ground, And my stalk is covered flat With a white and yellow hat. "

I prefer the little girls and boys . .. That come as you call them, fairor dark, in green ribbons or blue. I like making cowslip fields growand apple-trees bloom at a moment's notice. That is what it is, yousee, to have gone through life with an enchanted land ever besideyou. --Kate Greenaway to Ruskin. 

RELIGION AND ETHICS

 Little Jesus, wast Thou shy Once, and just so small as I? And what did it feel like to be Out of Heaven, and just like me? Didst Thou sometimes think of _there_, And ask where all the angels were? (p. 47) I should think that I would cry For my house all made of sky; I would look about the air, And wonder where the angels were; And at waking 'twould distress me-- Not an angel there to dress me!

 Hadst Thou ever any toys, Like us little girls and boys? And didst Thou play in Heaven with all The angels, that were not too tall, With stars for marbles? Did the things Play _Can you see me?_ through their wings? FRANCIS THOMPSON.

 Few books axe remembered with greater affection by persons (p. 48) who were children in the middle of the last century than those written by Jacob Abbott. .. . The educational effect of Jacob Abbott's stories, both mental and moral, was very great. .. . The insistence, however, with which these virtues were proclaimed and emphasized, constitutes a weakness in the books as we view them now. --_Preface. _

 Here we have the very saturnalia of common-sense. .. . These works are invaluable to fathers; by keeping always one volume in advance of his oldest son, a man can stand before the household, an encyclopædia of every practical art. THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON.

The text of this famous tale, attributed to Oliver Goldsmith, isperhaps somewhat beyond the easy comprehension of children of sixyears, but they will enjoy the interesting pictures of Margery and heranimal friends.

To this small person, Best Beloved, these twelve remarkable tales wererelated. We learn how the elephant got his trunk, how the first lettercame to be written, and so forth. There are two editions of the bookat the same price. Most children will prefer the one in large octavo.

 O columbine, open your folded wrapper, Where two twin turtle-doves dwell! O cuckoo-pint, toll me the purple clapper That hangs in your clear green bell!

 And show me your nest, with the young ones in it-- I will not steal it away; I am old! you may trust me, linnet, linnet-- I am seven times one to-day. JEAN INGELOW.

 Even John Locke (1632-1704), in his Thoughts on Education (1693), recommends, besides the Psalter and the New Testament, Æsop and Reynard the Fox, as good food for infant minds. This was an excellent basis to start upon. MONTROSE J. MOSES. 

ADVENTURES OF REYNARD THE FOX. Edited by W. T. Stead. Review. . 05

There is no entirely satisfactory edition, for children, of thisclassic. The language of one edited by Jacobs seems to the compiler ofthis list somewhat unsuited to small people, and E. L.

First told in 1862 to the little Liddell girls. It was written out forAlice Liddell, was published, and the first copy given to her in 1865.

Extract from the diary of C. L. Dodgson: July 4, 1862. --I made anexpedition _up_ the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we hadtea on the bank there, and did not reach Christ Church till half-pasteight. .. . On which occasion I told them the fairy tale of Alice'sAdventures Underground, which I undertook to write out for Alice.

POETRY, COLLECTIONS OF POETRY AND PROSE, AND STORIES ADAPTED FROMGREAT AUTHORS. 

 So, in this matter of literature for the young, the influence of the home teaching is enormous; all the school can do pales before it. Let the mother add to the poet's rhyme the music of her soft and beloved voice; let great fiction be read to the breathless group of curly heads about the fire; and the wonders of science be enrolled, the thrilling scenes and splendid personalities of history displayed. Children thus inspired may be trusted to become sensitive to literature long before they know what the word means, or have reasoned at all upon their mental experiences. RICHARD BURTON.

ANDERSEN, H. C. Stories. Houghton. . 60

FRANCILLON, R. E. Gods and Heroes. Ginn. . 40

 It will be seen that the Mythology adopted throughout is strictly of the old-fashioned kind which goes to Ovid as its leading authority, and ignores the difference between the gods of Greece and the gods of Rome. --_Preface. _

 No epoch of time can claim a copyright in these immortal fables. They seem never to have been made; and certainly, so long as man exists, they can never perish. --_Preface. _

Hawthorne wrote comparatively little for children. Let us be thankfulthat he did retell with such charm these Greek myths.

VALENTINE, L. (J. ) (Editor). The Old, Old Fairy Tales. Warne. 1. 50

 The tales contained in this volume have been the delight of many generations of children, and can, in fact, claim a very distant origin, though they were retold in their present form as late as the age of Louis XIV. They are generally supposed to have come from the East, for they are to be found in varied forms in all the countries of Europe that sent forth Crusaders. .. . As children always like stories to be retold in the same words as far as possible, these tales have not been rewritten (except in two cases); the original translations in their quaint simplicity have been collected, and merely corrected so far as to meet the modern ideas of the kind of tale to be given to children; the old ones being occasionally a little coarse. --_Preface. _

 "The children come, the children go; To-day grows quickly yesterday; And we, who quiz quaint fashions so, We soon shall seem as quaint as they. "

 The children of those days--our great-great-grandfathers--expected didacticism. It was part of the game. .. . In the present collection there is, I think, no example either of condescension or showing-off--the two principal faults of books for children. All the authors seem to me to be simple and single-minded: they wished above all to be interesting. --_Introduction. _

McINTYRE, M. A. The Cave Boy of the Age of Stone. Appleton. . 40

 In Europe they were not known till 1704, when a learned Frenchman, Antoine Galland, who had travelled widely in the East, put them skillfully, if not too accurately, into the language of his own people. .. . Within a comparatively few years, an ancient manuscript in the Louvre at Paris has been found to remove from Galland the long-standing reproach that he introduced into his Arabian Nights stories which really did not belong to the collection, but were taken from other Eastern sources. .. . It will not be easy to change the form of the names which, through Galland's agency, have become classic words. --_Introduction to Stories from the Arabian Nights. _

 The text of the present selection from the Arabian Nights is that of Galland, 1821, slightly abridged and edited. The edition is designed virginibus puerisque. E. DIXON.

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM. Julius Cæsar. Edited by W. J. Rolfe. American Book. . 56

 The Tragedie of Julius Cæsar was first published in the (p. 205) Folio of 1623. .. . The date at which the drama was written has been variously fixed by the critics. .. . Halliwell has shown that it was written "in or before the year 1601. " . .. The only source from which Shakespeare appears to have derived his materials was Sir Thomas North's version of Plutarch's Lives. .. . Shakespeare has in this play and elsewhere shown the same penetration into political character and the springs of public events as into those of every-day life. --_Introduction. _

 The merit I see in Mr. Rolfe's school editions of Shakspere's Plays over those most widely used in England is that Mr. Rolfe edits the plays as works of a poet, and not only as productions in Tudor English. F. J. FURNIVALL. 

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM. Macbeth. Edited by W. J. Rolfe. American Book. . 56

 Macbeth was first printed in the folio of 1623. .. . It was written between 1604 and 1610. .. . Dr. Simon Forman . .. Saw the play performed "at the Globe, 1610, the 20th of April, Saturday. " It may then have been a new play, but it is more probable, as nearly all the critics agree, that it was written in 1605 or 1606. The accession of James made Scottish subjects popular in England, and the tale of Macbeth and Banquo would be one of the first to be brought forward, as Banquo was held to be an ancestor of the new king. Shakespeare drew the materials for the plot of Macbeth from Holinshed's Chronicles of Englande, Scotlande, and Ireland. .. . The story of the drama is almost wholly apocryphal. The more authentic history is thus summarized by Sir Walter Scott: . .. As a king, the tyrant so much exclaimed against was, in reality, a firm, just, and equitable prince. --_Introduction. _

 No one can examine these volumes and fail to be impressed (p. 206) with the conscientious accuracy and scholarly completeness with which they are edited. H. H. FURNESS. 

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM. The Merchant of Venice. Edited by W. J. Rolfe. American Book. . 56

The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most perfect works: popular to an extraordinary degree. .. .

 To the King's Theatre, where we saw Midsummer's Night's dream, which I had never seen before, nor shall ever again, for it is the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life. PEPYS' _Diary_. 

Some people feel sure that it is a mistake to interfere with the playof a child's imagination by giving him illustrated editions of (p. 207)great works. This opinion would be shaken by seeing these wonderfulpictures, by means of which we are indeed wafted to dreamland. Thereare forty plates in color, and other illustrations.

HURLL, E. M. (p. 209) Tuscan Sculpture. Houghton. . 75

This book comprises sixteen examples of fifteenth-century work, withan introduction, also containing other information, on somecharacteristics of Tuscan sculpture of this period. 

 The Italian sculptors of the earlier half of the fifteenth century are more than mere forerunners of the great masters of its close, and often reach perfection within the narrow limits which they chose to impose on their work. Their sculpture shares with the paintings of Botticelli and the churches of Brunelleschi that profound expressiveness, that intimate impress of an indwelling soul, which is the peculiar fascination of the art of Italy in that century.

 It has always seemed to me that the narratives of the early discoverers and explorers of the American coast were as interesting as Robinson Crusoe, and were, indeed, very much like it. This has led me to make a series of extracts from these narratives, selecting what appeared to me the most interesting parts, and altering only the spelling. .. .

SCOTT, WALTER. The Lady of the Lake. Edited by W. J. Rolfe. Houghton. . 75

 The ancient manners, the habits and customs of the aboriginal race by whom the Highlands of Scotland were inhabited, had always appeared to me peculiarly adapted to poetry. The change in their manners, too, had taken place almost within my own time, or at least I had learned many particulars concerning the ancient state of the Highlands from the old men of the last generation. I had always thought the old Scottish Gael highly adapted for poetical composition. .. . I had also read a great deal, seen much, and heard more, of that romantic country where I was in the habit of spending some time every Autumn; and the scenery of Loch (p. 214) Katrine was connected with the recollection of many a dear friend and merry expedition of former days. This poem, the action of which lay among scenes so beautiful and so deeply imprinted on my recollections, was a labor of love, and it was no less so to recall the manners and incidents introduced. The frequent custom of James IV, and particularly of James V, to walk through their kingdom in disguise, afforded me the hint of an incident which never fails to be interesting if managed with the slightest address or dexterity. --_Introduction to the Edition of 1830. _

 This is mainly a book about the birds, or more properly an invitation to the study of Ornithology. .. .

A more specific title for the volume would have suited me better, but not being able to satisfy myself in this direction, I cast about for a word thoroughly in the atmosphere and spirit of the book, which I hope I have found in "Wake-Robin"--the common name of the white Trillium, which blooms in all our woods, and which marks the arrival of all the birds. --_Preface. _

IRVING, WASHINGTON. The Alhambra. Illustrated by Joseph Pennell. Macmillan. 1. 50

It will be strange indeed if these fascinating and romantic tales failto stir the imagination of any young person who reads them and toarouse in him the laudable ambition of some day seeing for himself thethree palaces, the mosque, the chapel, and the halls, of themarvellous Alhambra. 

 The work was the amusement of his leisure moments, filling the interval between the completion of one serious, and now all but unknown, history and the beginning of the next. .. . And thus his name has become so closely associated with the place that, just as Diedrich Knickerbocker will be remembered while New York stands, so Washington Irving cannot be forgotten so long as the Red Palace looks down upon the Vega and the tradition of the Moor lingers in Granada.

Its inhabitants have been always regarded through the surrounding country as 'the great ones of the earth, ' and the little village near the hall looks up to the squire with almost feudal homage. .. . While sojourning in this stronghold of old fashions, it is my intention to make occasional sketches of the scenes and characters before me. "
