THE IN GOL D SBY LEGENDS;
Or,

MIRTH and MARVELS.
By THOMAS INGOLDSBY.
"Abuadant in humour, observation, fancy ; in extensive know-
ledge of books and men ; in palpable hits of character, exquisite grave
irony, and the most whimsical indulgences of point and epigram ; we
doubt if even Butler beats the author of these Legends in the easy
drpilery of verse. We cannot open a page of the book that is not
sparkling with its wit and humour, that is not ringing with its strokes
of pleasantry and satire."—Examiner.
The Third Volume may be had separately to complete sets.
