 *' Genuine popular legends possess a high literary value, and must always be received with 

 interest, although they may aspire to no greater elevation than that of a mere nursery tale ; 

 and amongst the most valuable which modern research has brought to light must be placed 

 * Lady Guest's Mabinogion. 1 The tales are curious additions to the stock of undoubted Celtic 

 remains. It is interesting to trace in their supernatural machinery the close connexion 

 which subsists between the marvels of the East and of the West; and to Jind not only some of 

 the wonders, but actually some of the incidents, which amused our childhood in the * Arabian 

 Nights,' told with earnest faith and wild poetry by the Welsh bards of the twelfth century.''''

HAND-BOOK OF TASTE; 



Or, How to Observe Works of Art, especially Cartoons, Pictures, and Statues. 2d Edition. 



By Fabius Pictor, foolscap 8vo. 3s. boards. 

 " We have never met with a compendious treatise on art, and the principles which should 

 guide taste in judging of its productions, that contained more excellent matter than this 

 small unpretending volume. It is expressly compiled for the instruction of the public, and 

 with a view to that era in art which the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament, and the 

 present display of the cartoons in Westminster Hall, may be expected to create. It exhibits 

 the opinions of the best artists and critics of all ages. It is not intended to instruct the 

 student in art, though he may profit much by its lessons, but to tell the observer how he 

 may judge of the productions of the fine arts. It is not flattering to set out with saying that 

 England, in the art of design, is not only immeasurably behind Italy, but falls short of what 

 France aspires to, and Germany has accomplished ; but this is qualified by the admission that 

 England is, nevertheless, quite capable of efficient progress." — Tait's Magazine. 



HANSARD.— TROUT AND SALMON FISHING IN WALES. 



By G. A.Hansard, 12mo. 6s.6rf. cloth. 



HARRIS— THE HIGHLANDS OF /ETHIOPIA;

 Court of Shoa. By Major W. C. Harris, author of ** Wild Sports in Southern Africa," etc. 

 2d Edition. 3 vols. 8vo. with Map and Illustrations, 21. 2s. cloth. 

 " In taking our leave of this very interesting work, we may express the hope that Major 

 Harris will favour ns with a fourth and concluding volume — an addition for which the events 

 that intervened between the liberation of the princes and the departure of the embassy, the 

 nature of the commercial treaty itself , and the adventures which occurred on the return, will 

 supply ample materials. But even as it is,, from the discoveries which it has imparted to us, 

 and from the means of communicating ivith the interior of Africa, which it discloses, it is 

 one of the most important which have appeared in the present century, and one which promises 

 to point the way to most extensive good, whether we refer to the advantages which may flow 

 from that country to ourselves, or to those which we may confer upon it."
