tlie priest and deacon. In the notes of Gear and 

 the accompanying plates, ample information is 

 afforded of the symbolic meaning of these garments, 

 both in respect of form and colour. 



This meaning, lost to a considerable extent by 

 the Eoniish church, is recoverable by reference to 

 the Greek rituals, which have retained, probably 

 with little alteration, the ancient services of the 

 carlv Christians. An explanation will therein be 

 found of other matters besides linteaniina and 

 surplices by those who are cui-ious in rituology, as

By all who are interested in tlie study of early Ger- 

 man Poetry and Literature, the name of Yon der Hagen 

 must be .gratefully remembered for t!ie many curious 

 and valuable works which he has published, sometimes 

 under his sole editorship, at others, in conjunction with 

 Busching, Primisser, &c. But far exceeding in in- 

 terest any which he has before given to the press, 

 especially to English readers, is one which we received 

 some time since from Tdessrs. Williams and Norgate, 

 but liave only recently had an opportunity of examin- 

 ing. It is in three tliick and closely printed octavos, 

 and is entitled Gtsainiittabeutlieucr : Hunde.rt alldeutsclte 

 Erzahlun^en, Hitter- unci Pfasscn-Miiren, Stadt- iind 

 Dorfyeschichlen, Schwlinke, U'undersagen vnd Legenden, 

 meist zum ersteninal gtdrucht, &c. This collection em- 

 braces, as the title accurately enough describes, a 

 liundred early German Stories of every possible kind, 

 Stories of Knights and Friars, of Cities and Villages, 

 Jlerry Jests, Tales of Wonder, and Legends ; and re- 

 sembles in many respects the po])ular collections of 

 French Fabliaux edited by Barbazan, Le Grand 

 d'Aussy, &c. These arc for the most part now 

 printed for the first time; and besides tlie illustrativ.-ns 

 tliey afford of that love of humour, a characteristic of 

 the German mind the existence of whicli it has been 

 too much the fashion to deny, and to which xve owe 

 Otclglas and the Schildhur;icr, these "hundred merry 

 'i'ales " are of no small importance for the light tliev 

 throw upon the history of Fiction — a subject which, 

 in s]ilte of the labour bestowed upon it by Dniilo]), 

 Walter Scott, Palgrave, and Keightley, is yet very fir 

 from being fully developed. 



The new part of The Traceller's Lihrary contains 

 Mr. INIacaulay's brilliant essays on llanke's Ilis-tory of 

 the Popes, and Gladstone On Church and State. 



Messrs. Ivongman having hecoine the sole proprietors 

 of that valuable series of works The Cabinet Ci/clopadin, 

 have announced a re-issue of them at the reduceil price 

 of Ihree shillings and sixpence ])er voliune, instead of 

 six shillings, at which they were originally published.
