lent paper. The Ingoldsly Legends. Think of that, all ye 

 lovers of genuine humour and quaint versification, dashed 

 ever and anon with touches of true poetry and deep pathos 

 — Tlie Ingoldsby Legends complete — not a line omitted 

 save the short biography of poor Barham — and all for 

 the small sum of five shillings. And for the sake of 

 uniformity, as the Scotch gardener put his son in the 

 "jougs," he has issued a Companion volume. The Bentley 

 Ballads, -which, if not quite up to the Ingoldsby brand, 

 has a strong smack of the Ingoldsby vintage. Two 

 better volumes for transmission by the post, which now 

 wafts books, as well as sighs, from Indus to Peru, could 

 hardly be sent to brothers and cousins in India, Canada, 

 or Australia, They are purely English, and rich with 

 English fun. 



Time was when recollecting George Cruikshank's ad- 

 mirable illustrations to the German Popular Stories, we 

 should have declared no one could ever rival him in that 

 particular line. We now have our doubts. A volume, 

 entitled Old Nurse's Book, or Rhymes, Jingles, and Ditties, 

 edited and illustrated by C. H. Bennett, which is before us, 

 exhibits no less than ninety illustrations of the Songs 

 •which delight the " spelling" public, all so replete with 

 fun and imagination that we scarcely know who will 

 be most pleased with the book — the good-natured grand- 

 father who gives it, or the chubby grandchild who gets 

 it for a Christmas Box. We would fain say to the artist, 

 in the language of honest Bottom : " Good Master Ben- 

 nett, we would desire you of more acquaintance."

A Mebi.y Christmas, Gentle Reader. — We have, in compliance 

 with our annual custom, again selected for your perusal from the store 

 of pleasant reading which we have in hand such papers as seempecu- 

 liarlj/ suited to the coming season. Our next number will be devoted to 

 articles of graver and greater interest. 



Inquest on Chattebton. Has the attention of our respected corre- 

 spondent at Worcester, to whom we luetc indebted for this document, been 

 called to tli£ article o;i the subject in The Athenajum of Saturday, De- 

 cember 5 ? Mr. Moy Thomas' curious investigations tvoidd seem to show 

 that our correspondent had been deceived by a most unjustifiable fraud. 



P. Q. R. Our correspondent will find two articles on tlie disuse of the 

 Cope in tlie EnQlish Church in our 1st S. xii. 103., and 2nd S. i. 230. The 

 English ritual permitted the bishop to wear a c<ij:.e instead of a vestmejit 

 in his public ministrations, if he chose, and gave the same liberty to 2)res- 

 bi/tei-s in celebrating tlie eucharisl. The Injunctions of Queen Elizabeth in 

 1564, and the Canons o/1603, directed the cope to be used. {Palmer, Ori- 

 gines Liturgicje, ii. 313.) The disuse of the cope in the English Church, 

 after its partial revival at the Restoration, seems to have been gradual; 

 and Dr. Stul'eley (Iter Boreale) states that the custom of wearing it in 

 his time [1725] was only preserved at Durham. In the official accounts nf 

 ceremonials at coronations, the %}rtbeiidaries of Westminster are described 

 as wearing rich copes. 



Oxoniensis is referred to our 1st S. i. 249. for biographical notices of 

 Antony Alsop. 



Vablov ap Harry. We cannot find that any translation of Prof . 

 Zichtenberg's Commentary on Hogarth has been published.
