in the pomp and grandeur ol i rir.<

Town halls they built, from which th
governed themselves and tamed th<

this beauty has survived tail wai net

many devastations in the course of h<

Here, loo, we have a giftbook that is
worth keeping. The collection of old
Knglish songs und ballads which it
contains, to the number of seventy-two,
is well chosen, and, on the whole, rap
resentative of a hewilderingly vast Seid.
Of course, the favorites are here; about
their exclusion there ctir have been no
question "Chevy Chase," and lovely,
bonny, unworthy, cruel "Barbara Al?
len"; "Robin Hood and Little John"
and "Robin Hood's Death"; the "Bail
iff's Daughter of Arlington" and "The
Passionate Shepherd to His L?>ve,"
"The Nut-Brown Maid..Phe Beggar'i
Daughter of Bednall Green," and "The
Maid Freed from the (?allows"; "Who
I- Sylvia''" "The Sad Lover" and
"What Care I?" And, appropriate 'u
the times. "To Lucasta on Going to the
Wars," and brave, bonny "Mary Am?
br?e."
The collection starts -?t was inevi?

it ends with "Sally in Our Alley." In
between we have Chaucer and Ber.

Wotton, !.:'? Spei er, nerrica, Andrew
Manell, Hcywood and Curr.p:on, Web
