It will be observed by those who wish tO follow Mr. 011en-
dorff's plan, that this will be the only English edition sanctioned by
him. sir. 011endorff has been many months preparing it, as he
deems a mere translation of his German work totally inadequate
for the purposes of English instruction, and for the elucidation of
the method so strongly recommended by Captain Basil Hall, and
other eminent writers.

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
felt by the European publie. It is quite true that much has beer.
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 lees true,
that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par-
ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions
whieh 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 th sole
highway of central Europe, but the centre of European eivilieation
itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given zn any
thing like an entire form to the world. The present attoimpt 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 oan 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 ite completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour.
Nothing ho been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner.
Tha wuele will he complete in a series of twenty-four 'Monthly
pweirliloralso

contain ti,vo sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra-
