THEIR MIGRATIONS and TRANSFORMATIONS.

By W. A. CLOUSTON,

Editor of Arabian Poetry for English Readers, 'The Book of Sindibad,' &c.

2 vols. post 8vo. in Roxburgh binding, 258.

"Mr. Clouston's book supplies a want which has been increasingly

felt; and while its appearance will be hailed with satisfaction by the student, it cannot fail to give a decided impetus to the further popularizing of the study with which it deals. It is eminently typography....The task which he has set himself, and in which the merit of a conspicuous success can scarcely be denied to him, has been to illustrate the growth and modification of popular tales.... In one respect the book stands by itself among its kind. It gives the variants of the stories at length instead of merely indicating them by title or reference, and thus enables the reader to make his comparisons and draw his conclusions without the labour of consulting the numerous books specially devoted to the stories of particular nations." Spectator.

The most timid invalids may use both the Ointment and Pills with the utmost safety, with perfect success, provided a moderate attention tions soothe, heal, and purify.
