in the Grosse Bäder on the left bank of the Limmat or Linth. It is below the Kurhaus. The only local name at all resembling Imrapen is Im Hasel, west of the Kurhaus. Possibly a Frenchman like de Blainville mistook this name. Baden (not being very far-14 miles-from Zurich with which it was connected in 1847 by the first railway built in Switzerland) was a very fashionable resort for the Swiss. Besides Fricker's big book, see David Hess, 'Die Badenfahrt' (Zurich, 1817). W. A. B. C. VOLTAIRE'S CANDIDE,' PART II.

(vol. ii. p. 353, in Bohn's "Classical Library") we read : "In whatever country it [the shrew-mouse] exists, it always dies immediately if it goes across the rut made by a wheel." Bostock remarks thereon that, according to Cuvier : : "When the Titanic King Râhu fell in the combat with the god Indra, every time the latter cut off the former's head or limbs, instantly they were restored to his body. Now, Sachi, the wife of Indra, gathered and halved the flowers of blue lotus, arrayed them into two rows, and passed betwixt them. Indra understood her meaning, severed Râhu's limbs anew, threw them into right and left, and walked between them, which made them unable to return to the Titanic body, so that Râhu was for ever no more (Jinten Aino Shô,' 1532, tom. iii.). KUMAGUSU MINAKATA.

It was concluded in June, 1863, when Tinsley published in Bondage.' it in three volumes, changing the title to 'Held Strathmore was begun in The New Monthly Magazine in the following month and ran until February, 1865. Next month the first instalment of 'Idalia' appeared, and was concluded in the number for February, 1867......These three romances were all written for Harrison Ainsworth, the proprietor of the two periodicals mentioned." For the other of the two periodicals mentioned at above reference, see p. 32 of Miss Lee's 'Memoir.' "Dr. W. Francis Ainsworth, medical attendant, and to him the girl a cousin of Harrison Ainsworth, was their confided her attempts at stories. He introduced Ouida to Ainsworth, who was at that time editing Bentley's Miscellany. She sub mitted some of the stories to him; he at once recognised their merit, and eagerly accepted Dashwood's Drag; or, The Derby and them for his magazine. The first, entitled what came of it' appeared in the Miscellany for April and May, 1859, and she contributed stories to each succeeding number up to July, 1862: all of them were signed 'Ouida.' ....Ouida s stories formed one of the chief attractions of the Miscellany in those years. In 1867, fourteen of the stories were published in a volume entitled 'Cecil Castlemaine's Gage, and other Novelettes." " F. J. HYTCH. Notes on Books. Four Americans. By Henry Augustin Beers. (Yale University Press, 4s. 6d. net.) PROF. BEERS discourses, in this slender book, on Roosevelt, Hawthorne, Emerson and Whitman. We confess to having a complaint against him. It is one we would lodge against several of the newer academic writers of America. We complain-and we half expect to surprise him thereby-of his obscurity. He writes easily, and, if we may so put it, speakingly; but the connection of ideas underlying the pleasantly flowing phrases repeatedly eludes the reader. Not only so, but there crop up occasional sentences of which we can only say that we do not know what they mean. example here is a passage from the first page of the essay entitled Fifty Years of Hawthorne': "I heard Colonel Higginson say, in a lecture at Concord, that if a few drops of redder blood could have been added to Hawthorne's style, he would have been the foremost imaginative writer of his century. The ghosts in the Æneid' [apparently a For slip for the Odyssey'] were unable to speak A Manual of the Bengali Language. By T. J. aloud until they had drunk blood. Instinctively, Anderson. (Cambridge University Press, 78.6% then, one seeks to infuse more red corpuscles into th somewhat anaemic veins of these tales and net.) romances. But does one? How can one, indeed, "seek to do anything of the kind? The last sentence as it stands, means nothing; and its futility is made the more conspicuous by the words "instinctively and then." If it be replied that the writer's general intention is easily to be conjectured, we agree: but we also submit that this is-we had almost said is par excellence-bad writing; that it produces weariness and a sense of obscurity in the reader, and, finally, that it does injustice to the good things the writer has to say. Having relieved our mind of this complaint, we gladly go on to attest that we found in each of these essays much to interest us. In Roosevelt as a Man of Letters' there are one or two good stories and some sound criticisms. Our author "seeks for comparisons with other men of letters who were at once big sportsmen and big writers," and pitches on Charles Kingsley for the purpose. "Roosevelt was not a clergyman," as he truly observes-and, in several other respects contrasts between the two men have to be admitted before the comparison can be reached. On the whole we think that the suggestion more original than convincing. Fifty years of Hawthorne' and ‘A Pilgrim in Concord transport us into a most pleasant atmosphere. Concord' with all it stands for, has the charm-so rare in America that there it gains a doubled value-of the land where it is always afternoon. Prof. Beers conveys this gracefully and well. At the end of the latter essay is a paragraph which we hope he may some day elaborate, on Emerson as a poet. In the present writer's view a good deal more than is commonly allowed by his critics should be claimed for Emerson in the character of a poet-and a good deal less in the character of a philosopher. A Wordlet about Whitman' is by no means to be neglected. In a few paragraphs Prof. Beers sets forth enough sober truth about Whitman to guide an unsophisticated reader up to the right standpoint for judging him.
