Excerpt: ... complette de la Faerie;" but they are perhaps, as Bishop Percy has remarked, more analogous to the Weird Sisters than to the popular notion of fairyism in the present day. The ninth fable of the Edda, alludes to ' Les Genies lumineux," who are said to be " plus brillans que que le soleil; mais les noirs sont plus noirs que la poix V And what is this but the good and bad genii of eastern romance? Thor's " vaillante ceinture, qui a le pouvoir d'accroitre ses forces," and the " chaine magique," are equivalent to the enchanted ring; nor are " le grand serpent de Midgard," with other monsters, so unlike the oriental Dragon, as to preclude any comparison. In short, the reader clearly distinguishes the accordance of the northern mythology 1 Mythologu Celtique, p, 40. 2 Ibid. p. 84 and 90. 3 The Apocryphal continuation of the book of Esther, and Bel and the Dragon, seem to bespeak the prevalence of this action in the East at a very early period. with that of the East. I could cite many more examples, but they are unnecessary; and if, as Mr. Dunlop imagines, " in the Eastern Peris we may trace the origin of European Fairies '," by what possible contrivance, if he will be consistent, can he deny to the fairies of the North, that claim which he grants to the whole ofEuROPE? I shall now proceed to account for the introduction of romantic fiction, by a channel which appears to me the most natural, and therefore, the most likely to be true. I would begin with that period in which the persecutions of the pagan rulers, drove the primitive Christians into the East.

Excerpt: ...practised every description of wickedness, and conducted himself with the greatest insolence toward the prince, his reputed father. The prince, unable to account for such perversion of mind., interrogated the mother as to the legitimacy of her child; and finding, by her reluctant confession, that he was not his son, though loth to deprive him of the kingdom, he ordained that his dress, for the time to come, should be of a different texture and colour; one side to be composed of the most ordinary materials, and the other of the most valuable; so that when he looked upon the baser portion, his pride might be abated, and the vicious propensities, in which he had indulged, relinquished; on the other hand, when he surveyed the more gorgeous part, his hopes might be raised, and his spirit animated to goodness. By this judicious device, he became remarkable for humility, and ever after abandoned his dishonest life. APPLICATION. My beloved, the queen is any one who commits a mortal sin. The worthless side of the garment is our fleshly substance; the other is the soul by which man is classed with the beings of heaven, and aspires to an immortal existence. TALE XXVII. OF JUST RECOMPENCE. A Veby rich and powerful emperor had an only daughter of uncommon beauty. She was consigned to the care of five soldiers, who were commanded to be constantly in arms; and every day a stated sum was paid them out of the king's treasury. This emperor had a seneschal whom he greatly favoured; and a valuable but ferocious dog, which it was necessary to confine with triple chains. It happened, that as the emperor lay in bed, he formed a resolution to proceed to the Holy Land; and in the morning, when he arose, sent for the seneschal, and said, "I am about to...
