The Monthly Chronicle of North-Country Lore and Legend. (Walter Scott.)—"
Legend " does not occupy any very prominent place in this very interesting periodical. It is chiefly concerned with the record of historical and local facts, The volume now before us begins with the first of a series of three papers on the " Derwent- water Insurrection." Mr. Richard Wolf ord. contributes a series of notices, which run through tho volume, of "Men of Mark 'twixt Tyne and Tweed." Famous places are described. There are articles on the " Moss-Troopers," Local acidities and eccentrics are described. But the contents of the volume are too numerous and varied for any adequate account to be given of them. Let it suffice to say that, while they have a special interest for a North- Country reader, any one may dip into them with pleasure and profit.
