"i We have received the third annual volume of the Monthly Chronicle of North-Country Lore and Legends. (W. Scott, Newcastle- on-Tyne and London.)—It must be explained once more that the title borne by this monthly magazine is used in a very large sense. There are more than a hundred portraits, for instance, of celebrities living and dead, some of them hardly to be connected even indirectly with either " lore" or " legend." On the other hand, there are not a few articles, on " Roman Roads," for in- stance, " Scenes and Characters in ' Guy klannering,' "-" Newcastle Jesters," " Streets in Newcastle," which carry out the purpose expressed by the title. Between the two elements of fancy and reality we get a periodical of solid worth.
