The Germans excel in stories for children. From
G,imm's Popular Tales TO the Story Withou, an
Esdn down to the work of Otto Specter's before
rs. 50 gracefully translated by MARY HowITT, we
have the same German relish for the my s,ica
| be odd, and the humorous which makes all this
class Of stories so fascinating 10 children. The Ger
mae taste for metaphysics, apparent in the hig her
walks OF their literature which sometimes seems
heavy and often proyokingly unintelgible, appears
in their books for children in the mystical founda-
lions OF the story but the dallness and darkness of
philosophy, is all done away, and in these lesser
work, the true German genius peeps out little
sarirical graceful, ard weird, like those faces Of
rauus which CLEAN out Of the leaves of the forest
il the old Creek legends.-We can commend this
book of Quo Spec,ers for young children; it is
pleasing and innocent even if il has SO decided
NEUROLOGICAL! cast ss some Of the other German
| .ory-books. We could safely recommend it, from
he mere fac, of Mary Howitts translation; she is
person who could not blunder in such matter.
