In the Presss, and will speedily be published,
THE RHINE : LEGENDS, TRADITIONS,
HISTORY. FROM COLOGNE TO MAINZ.
By JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq.
The want of a work which should include all the " legends,
traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarkable por-
tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long
f: it by the European public. It is quite true that much has been
written on these subjects, in various 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. But 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 when it was not alone the sole
highway of central Europe, but the centre of European civilization
itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given in any
thing like an entire form to the world. The present attempt is
made to supply, 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
wandered, and fix them more firmly in their memory by connecting
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 production' and the time employed
in its completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour.
Nothing has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner.
The whole will be complete in a series of twenty-four Monthly
Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will
contain two sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra-
vino''s from Drawings by Mr. Butler, 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 I will be published on the let May, Price One Shilling.
