Croker's _Legends of the South of Ireland_; Lady Wilde's _Ancient Legends of Ireland_, and _Ancient Charms_; Sir William Wilde's _Irish Popular Superstitions_; McAnally's _Irish Wonders_; _Irish Folklore_, by Lageniensis (Father O'Hanlan); Curtins's _Myths and Folklore of Ireland_; Douglas Hyde's _Beside the Fire_ and his _Leabhar Sgeulaigheachta_; Patrick Kennedy's _Legendary Fictions of the Irish Peasantry_, his _Banks of the Boro_, his _Evenings on the Duffrey_, and his _Legends of Mount Leinster_; the chap-books, _Royal Fairy Tales_, and _Tales of the Fairies_. There is also much folklore in Carleton's _Traits and Stories_; in Lover's _Legends and Stories of the Irish Peasantry_; in Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall's _Ireland_; in Lady Chatterton's _Rambles in the South of Ireland_; in Gerald Griffen's _Tales of a Jury Room_ in particular, and in his other books in general. It would repay the trouble if some Irish magazine would select from his works the stray legends and scraps of fairy belief. There is much in the _Collegians_. There is also folklore in the chap-book _Hibernian Tales_, and a Banshee story or two will be found in Miss Lefanu's _Memoirs of my Grandmother_, and in Barrington's _Recollections_. There are also stories in Donovan's introduction to the _Four Masters_. The best articles are those in the _Dublin and London Magazine_ ("The Fairy Greyhound" is from this collection) for 1827 and 1829, about a dozen in all, and David Fitzgerald's various contributions to the _Review Celtique_ in our own day, and Miss M'Clintock's articles in the _Dublin University Magazine_ for 1878. There are good articles also in the _Dublin University Magazine_ for 1839, and much Irish folklore is within the pages of the _Folklore Journal_ and the _Folklore Record_, and in the proceedings of the _Kilkenny Archaeological Society_. The _Penny Journal_, the _Newry Magazine_, _Duffy's Sixpenny Magazine_, and the _Hibernian Magazine_, are also worth a search by any Irish writer on the look-out for subjects for song or ballad. My own articles in the _Scots Observer_ and _National Observer_ give many gatherings from the little-reaped Connaught fields. I repeat this list of authorities from my _Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry_,--a compilation from some of the sources mentioned,--bringing it down to date and making one or two corrections. The reader who would know Irish tradition should read these books above all others--Lady Wilde's _Ancient Legends_, Douglas Hyde's _Beside the Fire_, and a book not mentioned in the foregoing list, for it deals with the bardic rather than the folk literature, Standish O'Grady's _History of Ireland, Heroic Period_--perhaps the most imaginative book written on any Irish subject in recent decades. * * * * * _THE CHILDREN'S LIBRARY._ THE BROWN OWL.
