compelling."--_Morning Leader_.

THE TÁIN,
An Irish Epic told in English Verse. By Mary A. Hutton.
Fcap 4to. Antique Paper. Bound in Irish Linen gilt, gilt top. 10s. 6d.
net.
This work is an attempt to tell the whole story of the Táin Bó
Cúailngne in a complete and artistic form. The writer, working
always from original sources, has taken the L.L. text of the
tale as the basis of her narrative, but much material has been
worked into its texture, not only from the L.U. version of the
Táin and fragments of other versions, but from very many other
Irish epic sources. Some of the material so used has not yet
been edited. The object always has been to bring out the great
human interests of the story in their own Gaelic atmosphere.
The narrative is divided into fifteen books, and there is a
short introductory narrative called "The Finding of the Táin,"
and a short closing narrative called "The Writing of the
Táin"; these form a sort of Early Christian frame to the great
Pagan tale.
