aims at will doubtless be obtained. The list of Fuller's works which the author gives at the end of the second volume is neither complete nor accurate, and the numerous clerical errors which occur in it deprive it of any value which it otherwise might have had. The absence of an index, too, considerably detracts from the usefulness of these volumes. Surely Mr. Morris Fuller cannot have forgotten what his ancestor said on this subject. "An index," says Fuller, at the end of his Pisgah Sight of Palestine, "is the bag and baggage of a book, of more use then honour, even such who seemingly slight it, secretly using it, if not for need for speed of what they desire to finde." We should not omit to state that an excellent copy of the engraving of Fuller by Loggan, which forms the frontispiece to the first folio edition of the Worthies, will be found in the first volume of Mr. Morris Fuller's book. The Algonquin Legends of New England; or, Myths and Folklore of the Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Tribes. By Charles G. Leland. (Sampson Low & Co.) To the rapidly accumulating stores of folk-lore Mr. Leland makes a singularly interesting contribution. As the result of inquiries made with no very sanguine expectation of success, he has come upon a "stupendous mythology, derived from a land of storms and fire more terrible and wonderful than Iceland; nay, so terrible, that Icelanders themselves were appalled by it." Very curiously, the mythology now first made accessible to American readers is so like the Edda that "there is hardly a song in the Norse collection which does not contain an incident found in the Indian poem-legends." It is impossible for us to do much more than introduce to lovers of folk-lore a volume of wholly exceptional interest and value. We may, however, draw attention to one or two special features. A very striking set of adventures are assigned to Glooskap, as the divinity is named. Especially worthy of study is the Passamaquoddy legend of the dreadful deeds of the Evil Pitcher, who was both man and woman, followed by the awful battle of the giants. In explanation of the wonderful tales concerning the Glooskap it must be said there is in Red Indian mythology no god, only more or less powerful magicians, depending upon magic pipes and belts and other fetiches. Of a different order are the "Merry Tales of Lox," who is the demon. We have marked scores of these stories for mention, but the very extent of the list is a reason for not commencing to deal with it. We will only draw attention, accordingly, to the Chenoo legends, which are terribly grim and powerful; to the stories of women who love lake serpents; and the curious Undine-like legend of the partridge. To make acquaintance with Team, the Moose, the great Culloo himself, most terrible of created beings, Malsum the Wolf, Kusk the Crane, Koskomines the Blue Jay, &c., we must leave to the readers. We do so the more confidently as it is impossible for any whom this class of literature attracts to dispense with Mr. Leland's valuable and deeply interesting volume. A Short History of the Episcopal Church in the United States. By the Rev. W. Benbam, B.D., F.S.A. (Griffith & Farran.) THIS little volume makes its appearance very opportunely. The celebration at Aberdeen, in the autumn of the present year, of the centenary of Bishop Seabury's consecration, and the further celebration by a service at St. Paul's Cathedral on November 14 (the actual day of the consecration a century before), have once more drawn public attention to the Episcopal Church in America. Mr. Benham tells very pleasantly the story of the early days of the Church's history on the other side of the Atlantic; the desire for Episcopacy; the political diffi. culties which for a long time impeded the realization of that desire; the impossibility of obtaining, at the moment, the episcopal succession from the hands of the English bishops; the subsequent recourse to Scotland; and, at length, the consecration of Bishop Samuel Seabury at Aberdeen, in "an upper chamber," by Bishops Kilgour, Petrie, and Skinner. He briefly sketches the rapid progress of the Episcopal Church in America, now possess ing no less than sixty-five bishops, of whom Archbishop Trench (no mean judge) said, they seem to me about the ablest body of men I have ever met." Mr. Benkam has produced a readable little book, in which the salient points of the story are placed attractively before the reader. Notices to Correspondents. We must call special attention to the following notices: ON all communications must be written the name and address of the sender, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. WE cannot undertake to answer queries privately. To secure insertion of communications correspondents must observe the following rule. Let each note, query, or reply be written on a separate slip of paper, with the signature of the writer and such address as he wishes to appear, Correspondents who repeat queries are requested to head the second communication "Duplicate." MR. P. S. P. CONNER, of 126, South Eighteenth Street, Philadelphia, writes to draw attention to the fact that at 6th S. x. 288, the inquiry concerning Millington, which appears at the close of the query, " Pattison of Pattison Fort," should be a separate query. He is still anxious to know if Millington Hall, co. Chester, is standing, and if any photograph or drawing of it is to be had; also, if the name Millington survives. W. D., Brooklyn ("Grog":"Good wine needs no bush ").—We are compelled to close our columns against the kind of discussion that the derivations of the class with which you favour us invariably produce. ALPHA ("Byaswise ").-Surely this word, in the sense in which it is quoted in The Lives of the Berkeleys from John Smyth of Nibley, 1567-1641, is taken from the French biais, slope, and means that William the Waste all walked sloping-wise. The term is obviously derived from the game of bowls. STATIST: W. D. C. (“Sir T. Ingram": "Date of Death"). -After one query had appeared in " N. & Q" you send different heading and signature, so almost betraying us us a second, absolutely to the same effect, but with a into a second insertion. You must see that such a course gives endless trouble. MR. FINN ("Author of Song ").-Information anticipated. BRITOMART ("Impressions on Seals").-We cannot reproduce in print the impression you send us. W. H. W. A. (" Beast ").-This word cannot be grammatically used as a plural in the same sense in which sheep is used. D. G. C. E. (Christmas Poem ").-Did not reach us until after the Christmas number was published. NOTICE.
