Brandl, Englische Volkspoesie. Pp. 737-860. Triibner (Strass- burg). [Lundell's Scandinavian folk-literature has already been briefly noticed. Brandl's bibliographical sketch of English folk- song is accurate, and extremely sympathetic ; his sketch of the tale and riddle literature is adequate. The work of the Folk- lore Society is done justice to. Meier confines himself to a bibliography, probably the fullest to be found anywhere of works dealing with German folk-lore. In his list of collection of tales, the order should have been chronological (with an editors' names index) instead of alphabetical ; a distinction should have been made between simple children's books and collections for stu- dents ; the really important collections should have been specially commended to students, and the bad collections obelised. I would repeat once more that the real student of folk-lore will find Paul's Grundriss an indispensable literary guide. — A. N.]
