NATHAN HOGG'S Letters and Poems in the Devonshire Dialect. The fifth Edition, with additions. Post 8vo. Coloured wrapper. 18.

"These letters, which have achieved considerable popularity, evince an extensive acquaintance with the vernacular of the county and its idioms and phrases, while the continuous flow of wit and humour throughout cannot fail to operate forcibly upon the risible faculties of the reader. In the Witch story Nathan has excelled himself, and it is to be hoped we have not seen his last effort in this branch of local English literature. The superstitions of Jan Vaggis and Jan Plant are most graphically and amusingly portrayed, and the various incidents whereby the influence of the Evil Eye' is sought to be counteracted, are at once ludicrous and irresistible."-Plymouth Mail. NATHAN HOGG'S New Series of Poems in the Devonshire Dialect, including the Witch Story of Mucksy Lane, and the Kenton Ghost. Dedicated by Permission to his Highness Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte. Post 8vo, 4th edition enlarged, coloured wrapper. 1s

A GLOSSARY of Words used in Teesdale, in the County of Dur. ham. Post 8vo, cloth. 28 6d (original price, 68) "Contains about two thousand words It is believed the first and only collection of words and phrases peculiar to this district, and we hail it therefore as a valuable contribution to the history of language and literature the author has evidently brought to bear an extensive personal acquaintance with the common language."-Darlington Times.

POEMS of Rural Life in the Dorset Dialect. By the Rev. WILLIAM BARNES, of Came Rectory, Dorchester. First Collection. Fcp. 8vo, FOURTH EDITION, cloth. 5s.

Second Collection. Fcap. 8vo. SECOND EDITION, cloth. 5.
Third Collection. Fcap. 8vo, cloth. 4s 6d.

"The author is a genuine poet, and it is delightful to catch the pure breath of song in verses which assert themselves only as the modest vehicle of rare words and Saxon inflections. We have no intention of setting up the Dorset patois against the more extended provincialism of Scotland, still less of comparing the Dorsetshire poet with the Scotch; yet we feel sure that these poems would have delighted the heart of Burns, that many of them are not unworthy of him, and that (at any rate) his best productions cannot express a more cordial sympathy with external nature, or a more loving interest in human joys and sorrows."-Literary Gazette.

GRAMMAR and Glossary of the Dorset Dialect. By the Rev. W. BARNES. 8vo. 28 6d.

"We are under great obligations to the lady, sister to the local historian of Northamptonshire, who has occupied her time in producing this very capital Glossary of Northamptonshire provincialisms."-Examiner."

"The provincial dialects of England contain and preserve the elements and rudiments of our compound tongue. In Miss Baker's admirable 'Northamptonshire Glossary,' we have rather a repertory of archaisms than vulgarisms. But it is much more than a vocabulary; it preserves not only dialectical peculiarities, but odd and disappearing customs; and there is hardly a page in it which does not throw light on some obscurity in our writers, or recall old habits and practices."-Christian Remembrancer, Quarterly Review. WESTMORELAND and Cumberland.-Dialogues, Poems, Songs,

and Ballads, by various Writers, in the Westmoreland and Cumberland Dialects, now first collected, to which is added a Copious Glossary of Words peculiar to those Counties. Post 8vo, (pp. 408), cloth. 9s.

This is undoubtedly the best work hitherto published on the dialects of Yorkshire in general, and of Leeds in particular. The author, we believe one of our fellow townsmen-for his introductory remarks are dated 'Leeds, March, 1861'-has used not only great industry, but much keen observation, and has produced a book which will everywhere be received as a valuable addition to the archæological literature of England.-Leeds Intelligencer.
