_Genoveva._--Can any of your readers inform me what history or legend is

illustrated by a fine engraving in line, by Felsing after Steinbrück (size

13 × 11 inches), which has no other clue to its subject than the word

_Genoveva_, in the lower border. It represents a beautiful maiden, with a

sleeping child in her lap, at the foot of a beech-tree in {134} a forest,

and a hind or fawn in the background approaching from a cavern. It was

published some years ago at Darmstadt, and is not common: but beyond a

guess that it is meant for St. Genevieve, the printsellers can tell me

nothing about it; and I do not find in _her_ history, as given by Alban

Butler, any such incident.
