I--=Gesta Romanorum.= Tales of the old monks. Edited by C. SWAN. $1 00

“This little gem is a collection of stories composed by the monks of

old, who were in the custom of relating them to each other after meals

for their mutual amusement and information.”--_Williams’ Literary

Monthly._

“Nuggets indeed, and charming ones, are these rescued from the mine of

old Latin, which would certainly have been lost to many busy readers

who can only take what comes to them without delving for hidden

treasures.”
