0n/when's Chap-Book . Chaplets (Field and Tuer) is a quaint revival

of the ballads, with their rude coloured engravings, which delighted an older generation. Of these ballads there are eight, " The Barkeshire Lady," Jemmy and Nancy, of Yarmouth," "Blue- cap for Me," and "George Barnewall" being among them. Mr. Crawhall has been wonderfully successful in giving us an imitation of his models. As be finds a public which appreciates his pains and skill, we shall not be ungracious enough to inquire whether they are wisely expended.
