RICHISSA AND SOPHIA OF DENMARK (8th S. vi.
267, 336).-Voigtel, the learned German genea-

of Wenden, of the house of Mecklenburg (who died
1316), by whom she had a daughter Sophia, who,
however, is left in his genealogical table unmarried.
J. G.'s query is answered so far, therefore; but that
Richissa and Sophia were grandmother and mother
respectively of Henry II. of Holstein seems very

A copy of No. 97 of the Stamford Post, published April 17, 1712, is in the possession of Mr. C. W. Holdich, Cromwell Road, Peterborough. The Stamford Post was a weekly paper, and the first number must have been issued on June 8, 1710.

A set of verses in which the two lines of W. T. will be found are to be seen in N. & Q.' (7th S. i, 26), and are said to occur in a commonplace book of an Aberdeen citizen about the middle of the seventeenth century. A query whether these lines were to be met with elsewhere obtained no reply.

[Those interested in the subject should consult 'Poems and Psalms,' by Henry King, D.D., edited by Rev. J. Hannah (Oxford, Macpherson, 1843). The lines in question appear under the title of Man's Mortalitie,' and are appended to the Microbiblion' of Simon Wastell, 1629. They are also inserted at the close of Quarles's' Argalus and Parthenia,' and signed by Quarles, who expressly says that they are his "Hos ego versiculos." The first and best-known of similar poems, "Like to the falling of a star," &c., is ascribed to Francis Beaumont and to Dr. King. There are, in addition,

NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.

The Poems of William Drummond. With Memoir and Notes by W. C. Ward. 2 vols. (Laurence & Bullen.) To their delightful" Muses' Library," including already the most prized poets of the seventeenth century, Messrs. Laurence & Bullen have added a new, complete, and well-edited edition of Drummond's poems. From the estimate that places Drummond higher than Drayton we dissent, and we hold that the editor is inclined to overindulgence in estimating the character of the man. Drummond is, however, a delightful poet, and an edition such as the present of his poems is a boon in all senses of the word. Mr. Ward has taken uncommon pains in elucidating the sources whence Drummond has drawn in

part his inspiration. The proofs of indebtedness to French and Italian sources add greatly to the value of the work. On one point we should have liked further information. In what is called 'Song' (vol. i. p. 32-40), a delightful poem in all respects, Drummond employs a metre we do not recollect to have seen elsewhere. It is the ordinary rhymed ten-syllable verse, but the rhymes are like those in the French rhymed alexandrines, alternately masculine and feminine. This is observed throughout. We give the terminations of the first few lines to show: "pole "=" roll," " appeareth "= heareth," "6 ="breath," (be)queath "warble" "marble," 99 66 cares"=" snares,' ""wander"=" meander"; and so on through over two hundred and fifty lines. If this metre has been elsewhere used in England we shall be glad to hear of it. Drummond's poems are generally chaste enough as well as beautiful, and his religious poems are among the best and most fragrant we possess. He occasionally, however, goes beyond most men, even of his own time, in indelicacy-a fact more than a little surprising in a poet who was a canny and Senses,' which Mr. Ward hesitates to ascribe to Druma pious Scot. Had James I. seen the poem 'The Five mond, but which is certainly not the least decent in his work, the fate of Drummond would have been that of Raleigh. James is therein openly accused of all the vices which scandal has coupled with his name. A portrait, the best obtainable, adorns the first of two delightful volumes, which should rest on the shelves of every

man of taste.

The Hero of Esthonia, and other Studies in the Romantic Literature of that Country. By W. F. Kirby. (Nimmo.) MR. KIRBY is responsible for the first serious and important contribution that has been made to English knowledge of Esthonian folk-lore. Such articles as have appeared in English consist principally of contributions to cyclopædias, magazines, and reports. In Germany, as is but natural, explorations have been ample, and it is from the works of Kreutzwald, Jannsen, and other authorities, German and Esthonian, that the principal stories have been extracted. The first portion of the work consists of a prose account of the Kalevipoeg.' For the sake of publishing this work he has interrupted his work upon a critical edition of the Kalevala,' the great national epopee of Finland. Very far from being a mere variant of the Finnish work is the Kalevipoeg,' though some of the stories are naturally the same. It is a poem of some nineteen thousand lines, the metre being the eight-syllable trochaic common with the Esthonians and the Finns, and familiarized in this country through its adoption by Longfellow in 'Hiawatha.' The subject is the adventures of Kalevipoeg, or Kalevide, a mythical hero of gigantic size, who, Mr. Kirby holds, is obviously the Kullervo of the Finnish epic. A digest of the adventures is given, the interminable lyrics with which the whole is "graced" being omitted. Many of the incidents are familiar in all tales of giants and strong men, such as the three sons of Kalevide trying their strength by hurling rocks into the lakes. A serious interest is supplied by the murder by Kalevide, in a drunken quarrel, of the eldest son of a smith, who has supplied him with a matchless sword. This action results in the sword ultimately cutting off his legs, and bringing about his death. The invasion of Pörgu, otherwise Hell, and the fight with Sarvik, the prince of that region, introduce some sufficiently romantic adventures.

Following the aceount of the poem comes a selection of the Esthonian tales that bear upon it, a second volume being occupied with Esthonian folk-tales in general. Strange_variants of well-known stories are found in them, There are, of course, abundant stories of buried

treasure, and of dwarfs, not seldom headless, of mira-
culous powers.
In some of the stories there is a
mingled simplicity and cunning that recalls the folk-lore
of Russia. In a few cases the means employed to bring
about results have a more than Zolaesque realism. As
a rule, however, in the most naïve stories the editor is
anxious to avoid shocking the feelings. To show the
points of contact with countries bordering or remote is
a task that cannot be attempted in a critical notice.
Some of the tales have a distinctly Oriental character.
These, however, are not the most interesting. It is
amusing to see-but is, of course, familiar-with how little
respect the arch-fiend is regarded. A medieval saint
could scarcely treat him with more contumely than do
the most cunning of the peasants. In two very hand-
some volumes Mr. Kirby has given a large and repre-
sentative collection of tales. The mine is still, however,
very far from exhausted. A map of Esthonia serves as
frontispiece to the first volume.

The Ancoats Skylark, and other Verses, Original and
Translated. By Wm. E. A. Axon. (Manchester,
Heywood.)
UPON the literary merits of modern songsters N. & Q'
has always maintained a judicious silence. It is, then, only
from the fact that it condenses into gems of epigrams wise
thoughts from all countries, and inculcates the gentlest
of lessons, that we can mention the sympathetic volume
which our erudite contributor Mr. Axon gives to the
world under the pretty and suggestive title of The
Ancoats Skylark.'

The Life of Jonathan Swift. By Henry Craik. 2 vols.
(Macmillan & Co.)

A SECOND edition of Mr. Craik's admirably full, thoughtful, judicious, and interesting life of the great Dean of St. Patrick's will be welcome to students of last century politics and literature. With the exception of a few corrections, the new edition is practically the same as the old. Mr. Craik, who is an eloquent and earnest, and to a great extent convincing apologist for Swift, still holds to his marriage with Stella, supplying in an appen: dix the authorities on which his opinion is based, and still finds much that is mitigating in his treatment of Vanessa. It is naturally to the portion of the biography dealing with these relations one first turns; and after a perusal of the complete work one turns to them again. Explanations of Swift's conduct to women are like analogies, in not running on all fours, and explanation is bound to remain to a great extent conjectural. The theories most generally prevailing amongst the best informed are not, indeed, easily put forward. "A proneness to tender emotion, along with a constitutional thinness of temperament that allows the emotion easily to die away," as Mr. Craik well and temperately says, is possible explanation of the alternate tenderness and coldness in Swift." Such explanation as is obtainable he finds in Swift's general character, in a certain "intensity of will," "force of intellectual passion," by which his strong feelings are perpetually tortured and crushed. This is an explanation like another, and is, in fact, as good as another. The story is, at least, interesting and edifying to read afresh as Mr. Craik thoughtfully tells it. Of the principal events in Swift's chequered career an admirable account is given, and we admire the justice and wisdom of comment such as that on the personal bond between Harley and Swift. "It was with this as with all Swift's relations to his fellow men; every tie, be it in politics, or in literature, ripened with him into a personal friendship, just as every dispute grew, for him, into an irksome personal antipathy." The rough coat of cynicism covered, it is held, a frame quivering ith over sensitiveness. All this is true as it can be,

The only question, and on this we express no opinion, is,
Is it all? Whether Swift was, as Coleridge said, "the soul
of Rabelais habitans in sicco," we are not sure; but
habitans in sicco his soul assuredly was. A morbid desire
for admiration and affection is, of course, a most vulner-
able form of vanity. Men of Swift's type eat out their
souls; and, however touching may be some aspects of
their self-torture, pity, even when it cannot be withheld,
is wasted. We make acquaintance with Mr. Craik's work
for the first time, and are indebted to it for some pleasant
and instructive hours. With the literary opinions ex-
pressed we are in complete accord, and the picture of
literary intimacies and friendships is delightful.

11, LITTLE STANHOPE STREET, MAYFAIR, W. STARTLING NEWS is daily coming to hand of

sad accidents, murders, and minor criminal offences, but it is astonishing that thousands of people die in our midst every week, and no notice is taken of the fact. Yet such a terrible calamity could be prevented if more stringent attention was paid to the laws of health. If people would only deal seriously with slight ailments they would not develope into fatal diseases. There are thousands of persons killed yearly simply through neglect. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS and OINTMENT can prevent as well as cure disease, and if they were used according to the directions, there would soon be a decrease in the death rate. They can be obtained from all Chemists and Medicine Vendors.
