Rh words of Sir Richard Temple, enforcing the value of a knowledge of folklore to the representatives of Great Britain among subject races, to the effect that: "Knowledge begets understanding, and understanding sympathy; and sympathy begets good government, and good government begets stable empire." Mr. Rose will have all our sympathy in his endeavours to extend the knowledge of our study and its methods in the Anglo-Indian world.

I trust that our next number may contain the list of books on this branch of folklore for which Mr. Rose pleads. I will now only suggest the following, as works likely to create an interest in the whole subject, and to show the principles and methods of the study.

Hartland (E. S.) Folklore: What is it and what is the good of it? D. Nutt. 6d.

Lang (Andrew). Custom and Myth. Longmans. 3s. 6d.

Gomme (G. L.) Folklore Relics of Early Village Life. Elliot Stock. 5s.
