NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



Among the many books waiting for our notice, are two 

 volumes entitled Phantasmata, or Illusions and Fanati- 

 cisms of Protean Forms productive of great Evil, by Dr. 

 Madden, which, while they are interesting to the historical 

 student for the materials which they bring before him on 

 the subject of many remarkable phases of history, are 

 especially so to the philanthropist and social reformer 

 from the pictures which they furnish of the failings, in- 

 firmities and passions of mankind — as manifested in 

 those occasional epidemic fanaticisms which are some- 

 times marked by outbreaks of popular phrenzy, sometimes 

 by outbreaks of superstition, and sometimes of spiritualism. 

 Dr. Madden treats of these infirmities of noble and ignoble 

 minds very amusinglj', and the reader who desires in- 

 formation on the subject of the Sorcery of Ancient Times 

 — Swedenborg, S. Theresa, the Inquisition, the Witch- 

 craft Mania, Lycanthrophy, the Flagellation and Dancing 

 Manias, Demonopathy in Romanist Convents, Theomania 

 in Protestant countries, &c., will find in Dr. Madden much 

 to interest him, and in the numerous authorities which he 

 cites, the means of pursuing his inquiries. We ought to 

 add, that a large portion of Dr. Madden's second volume 

 is devoted to the history of Joaa of Arc. 



Be the author of The Fairy Famili/, a Series of Ballads 

 and Metrical Tales illustrating the Fairy Mythology of 

 Europe, who he may, he has read with a loving heart the 

 folk lore of Europe ; selected, with the delicate taste of a 

 woman, its most beautiful and touching points ; and with 

 no small skill in poesy woven them into a pleasant series 

 of ballads and roundelays : and in his endeavour to pro- 

 duce a series of tales, based on fictions unequalled in 



mterest and beauty, in that form of composition which is 

 unquestionably most eff'ective — ballads of various struc- 

 ture and rhythm—he has been eminently successful. The 

 work will unquestionably be popular in the nursery and 

 out of it. 



So far akin in its nature to the foregoing, that it is 

 based on folk lore, is a small local publication which has 

 just reached us, and which deserves a place on the shelves 

 of everycollector of popular rhymes, phrases and customs. 

 It is entitled The Popular Rhymes, Sayings, and Proverbs 

 of the County of Berwick, with Illustrative Notes, bv George 

 Henderson, and is very appropriately dedicated to Robert 

 Chambers. 



The new volume of Lord Campbell's Lives of the Lord 

 Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England-, 

 being the sixth of the new edition, has just been issued, 

 and contains the Lives of Lord Macclesfield, Lord Chan- 

 cellor King, Lord Talbot, Lord Hardwicke, Lord North- 

 ington, and Lord Camden. 



The new volume of The Works of Thomas Carlyle con- 

 tains his two celebrated biographies, viz. his Life of Fried- 

 rich Schiller, first published by him in 1825, and which 

 probably contributed more than any other single work to 

 spread abroad in this country a love for, and the study of. 

 German literature; and his Life of John Sterling, pub- 

 lished in 1851. Although Mr. Carlyle seems to have been 

 unwilling to reprint his Schiller, many, very many, will 

 rejoice that he has done so.
