The object OF the editor, as he declares
IN his preface, is TO preserve fugitive tales OF
merit, that might otherwise sink INTO oblivion,
aud also TO communicate 10 the public such
deserving original pieces as may come within

- beautiful little volume entitled " Ma
tional Tales, has just been published by the
booksellers of this city. The compiler aud
editor has shown considerable taste in the
present selection, and il lie continues TO he
guided by the same discriminating spirit, he
will oonter a great boon on the public 10y his
Jjudicious labors. There is, perhaps, no spe-
ces of writing So Instructive and amusing as
little tales and stories in which the manners
and customs oi foreign nations are faithfully
embodied. To young persons they are pccu-
liarly attractive. Tie incidents OF the plots
create an interest directly in the mind, but
this interest is merely The enchantrcss that
leads the young intellect TO n just apprchen-
sion OF hIstorcui facts, or national manners"

From cursory perusal of the first yonD I'VE !
think he is we'll qualified for the task he has !
undertaken. To some /, may seem no labor |
merely to select; but they little know what |
perseverance, il requires 10 drudge through |
all the works OF fiction which this fruitful age |
has produced. Setting aside this, it requires
nice discrimination 10 separate tho worthless |
from that which is valuable, and the moral !
frca the vicious. We would recommend
this work to the patronage of the pub I
lie. The tales are selected with good I
taste and judgment-the typographical ex-
ecution OF The work is neui. aud moreover
it is offered at a reasonable price thee con-
sderations that are iulportant--but i'll our day |
extremely rare. We hope the editor VIII

him 10 go on with woik Which he seems so |
well qualified to make interesting aud in
