"This is not a book to be rushed through, or even to be read with advantage at one sitting. To appreciate its clever and quaint conceits, to digest its reflections, often striking and always independent, it must be savoured by degrees and read with the mind instead of only with the eye."-Morning Post. Crown 8vo. with 16 Original Illustrations by M. Fitzgerald, 6s. FOURTH EDITION OF THROUGH GREEN GLASSES. By F. M. Allen. "A real study in folk-lore. One can trace in these pages the actual progress by which legends and traditions preserve their essential features of plot and incident, while the local colouring is changed to suit the manners and customs of successive ages. It is most curious and interesting to notice how in these stories St. Patrick is spoken of as if he was a parish priest of the present generation, and King Cormac becomes something between a land agent and a resident magistrate. The oddest mixture of past and present is in the story called Andy Merrigan's Great Discovery, which is full of quaint 'guesses at truth.' The tales, moreover, are genuinely amusing and full of a puzzled-headed ingenuity that is very diverting; and they are told in a magnificent Munster brogue."-St. James's Gazette. SIX MONTHS in the HEJAZ: A YEAR in the being an Account of the Author's Journeys to Meccah and Medinah disguised as a Mohammedan. By J. F. KEANE. 68.
