tales and legends Of Indian life which were FIRST brought
to the attention Of public by the late Mr. schoocraf
and which have since figured largely in various produe'
tons OF fiction and romance In their present FORM they
have been rewritten by Mr. Mathews, with o view to
securing them place with the popular versions Oh tue
Arabian Nights. and other celebrated tales OF orlenh

modern tastes bnt without inpairing the picturesque
effect Of the original Imagery The volume Is illustrated
with engrnvlngs ON wood by Anthony, from helenans
designs.
