We have received from Messrs. Bentley and Son a copy

of the sixpenny issue of the Ingoldsby Legends, "People's Edition," contain- ing forty illustrations the originals of which were the productions of Cruickshank, Leech, and Tenniel. It is clearly printed in readable type, on good paper, the quality of the latter being such as to prevent the cuts " setting-off," or marring the distinctness of the print on the opposite side.
