This article presents information on the books that will be published shortly by various publishing companies. It is informed that Macmillan & Co. will soon be publishing "Studies in Literature," by John Morley. It is also informed that among the publications of the English Folklore Society for 1890 is an interesting and valuable "Handbook of Folklore," edited by Mr. G. L. Gomme, Director of the Society. The object of this modest little book is to give a definition of folklore and directions for its collection. The first chapter attempts to explain what folklore is and to classify it in twenty-one classes, under four general heads: superstitious belief and practice; traditional customs; traditional narratives and folk-sayings.
