9PHE RHINE: LEGENDS, TRADITIONS,
..1-! HISTORY. FROM COLOGNE TO MAINZ.
I3v JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq.
The want of a work which should include all the " legends,
traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarksble por-
tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long
felt by the ESrOpean public. It is quite true that much has beer.
written on these subjects, in vat-tons languages ; and that a great
deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In
so far the subject is not a new one. lint still it is not less true,
that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par-
ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions
which attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the
spirit-stirring histories connected with its cities and towns and
hamlets, through the long period ashen it was not alone th solo
highway of central Europe, but the centre of Eurolean eivilieatien
itself, have never been gathered together as 'et, nor given zn any
thing like an entire form to the world. The present atteimpt is
made to FoPl4' as far as possible, that desideratum in general
literature.
To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and to
those who
intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book
that there can be no more acceptable offering-. It is fondly hoped
that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant
beauties of the glorious scenes over which they have heretofore
fix them more firmly in their memory by connecting
wandered, and
them with the facts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to
the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken
their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason,
their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past,
and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by
it into one harmonious whole.
The pains bestowed on this preduetion, and the time employed
in its completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour.
No hing has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner.
The whole will be complete in a series of twenty-four Month'.
Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will
contain two sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra-
vings
from
50rm„,,,,, by Mr. But le.r, illustrative of the Legends or
the Localities. Each successive Part will also contain a double
plate, forming a section of a most superior picturesque Panorama
of the shores of the Rhine between the two Cities which form the
termini.
Part 1 will be published on the let May, Price One Shilling

A very agreeable account. We recommend this volume to our

world will not receive the Saunter in elgium' the less willingly
for the absence of political pretensions."—Athenaeum.
.* This is a very agreeable, well-written volume, full of that
sort of knowledge which a traveller is most in want of."—Sun.
" Of the thousand and one volumes that form the library of
modern tour-takers, Mr. St. George has certainly contributed one
