more than a catalogue and less than a biblio-
graphy. It is really a conveniently arranged
hand-list of books in fiction, romance, and folk-
lore which have any pronounced reference to
Ireland or the Irish people. It comprises over
1,700 entries, and an excellent feature is the short
annotation and descriptive remarks which accom-
pany the great majority of the references. It is
not, however, quite clear what method of selection
the author has employed when it is a question of
choosing the various editions. Thus, on p. 256,
a book by Prevost is recorded called Le Doyen
de Kellerine' (it should be "Killerine "), and
the edition given is that published at La Haye in
1744. Why this edition is selected for the main
entry instead of the first, which was published in
Paris, we do not know; neither is it clear at first
sight why Le Doyen de Killerine' finds a place
and the Campaynes philosophiques' (Amster-
dam, 1742) does not. Barring a few minor faults
of this kind, the book will be found an excellent
guide to lovers of Irish tales, and we congratulate
the author on the index of subjects and titles,
which is only too often wanting in works of this
nature.

The Value and the Methods of Mythologic Study
(from the Proceedings of the British Academy,
vol. ix.). By L. R. Farnell. (Milford, 1s. 6d.)
DR. FARNELL usefully surveys the chief schools
of thought and method, and justly emphasizes
the complexity of the sources of myths. But
after he stresses the necessity of psychological
insight, it is strange to find no reference to the
pioneer endeavours of the psycho-analysts to
find out how, what and why human beings,
civilized and savage, think and feel.

BOOKSELLERS' CATALOGUES.

FROM Messrs Maggs of 34 and 35 Conduit Street
New Bond Street, W., comes their latest catalogue
of works dealing principally with Voyages, Travels,
British Topography and Heraldry (No. 384). It
comprises no fewer than 332 pages, conveniently
arranged in sections. Among a large number of
items dealing with the English Counties we find
described a beautiful copy of the first edition of
White's Selborne' (271. 10), the two stately
volumes of Ackermann's History of the University
of Oxford' in the original half-calf (347.), and a
complete set of the magnificent Coloured Engrav-
ings of the Colleges, Chapels and gardens of Oxford
from the drawings of Dellamotte (421). In the
American section we notice a copy of the exceed
ingly scarce Cosmographia' of Waldeseemuller in
which the name of America was first suggested
(1507), and on p. 310 appears the name of
Bartalommeo Da Li Sonetti in connexion with the
earliest Mediterranean atlas (257.), which could
arcely have appeared later than 1485. Among a
lot of similar rare items are to be found a number
of MSS., official diaries and old log-books.

CATALOGUE No. 213 of Mr. James Miles of
34 perhead Row, Leeds, contains a selection
of choice items variegated enough to suit every
taste, and all priced exceedingly moderately.
For the lovers of travel he provides a wonderful
copy of Lavender's Travels of Foure English
Men and a Preacher,' uncut throughout, and
containing the blank leaf so often wanting (25l.);

whilst for those who favour association books, he
offers Horace Walpole's own copy of the best
edition of Burnet's History' (11. 108.). Amongst
other interesting matter we notice a folio edition
of Bayle's Dictionary,' in five volumes, and
priced at only 158., which provides amusing and
acutely reasoned material on almost every page;
and also a copy of Bowyer's edition of Hume's
'History of England,' in ten volumes, bound in
polished contemporary russia and embellished
with nearly two hundred engravings by Barto-
lozzi, Fittler, &c. (61. 6s.).

MARTINUS NIJHOFF sends us a copy of his
monthly Bulletin (October-November, 1919),
comprising recent publications and additions to
the stock of this deservedly successful firm, whose
big establishment at Lange Voorhout, 9, 's Graven-
hage, is where the book-loving traveller in
Holland first turns. Among a number of striking
entries we notice a further section of the Quellen-
studien zur höll. Kunstgeschichte,' and some more
numbers of Nijhoff's well-known index of Dutch
periodicals.

IN Catalogue No. 250, just issued by Messrs.
James Rimell & Son of 53 Shaftesbury Avenue,
W.1, will be found a representative selection of
books on the fine arts, travel, and general litera-
There is an interesting section on Costume,
ture.
comprising amongst other items Vecellio's work
on ancient and modern costumes, being a copy
of the second edition of 1598, and priced at
nine guineas-a presentation copy from the poet
Samuel Rogers; twenty-one volumes
Lady's Monthly Museum, from 1798 to 1808; and
a nice copy of the Costumes civils et militaires de
la Monarchie française,' with the plates by
Delpech, for 181.

ROY GARART ("Indian Summer ").-' Phrases
and Names,' by Trench H. Johnson, explains:
"The equivalent of what is called St. Martin's
Summer in England. The North American Indians
always avail themselves of the pleasant weather
during the early part of November for harvesting
their corn; they say there is an unfailing nine
days' second summer just before the winter sets
in." See also R. H. Thornton, 'An American
