The Lay of Saint lutundus a Legend of York. Written

by Edith W. Robinson. Illustrated by George Hodson. (Swan Sonnenschein and Co.)—A, ballad somewhat in the "Ingoldsby " style, a style only made acceptable by transcendent cleverness, and scarcely, therefore, admitting of snocessfal imitation. There is some talent in Miss Robinson's verses, and some also in Mr. Hodson's illustrations. But we cannot help thinking that both are a little vulgar, and that the paMa expended on this volume have not been expended to any great advantage.
