_El Buscapié_.--A very full and able disquisition on the subject of MR.
SINGER's query (No. 11., p. 171.), respecting _El Buscapié_, will be
found in the appendix to a work which is just published, viz. Ticknor's
_History of Spanish Literature_, vol. iii. Appendix D. 371. _et seq_.
That writer, whose opinion is entitled to credit as that of a consummate
student of Spanish letters, and who gives good reasons for his
conclusions in this instance, pronounces against the authenticity of the
poor little pamphlet recently put forth as belonging to Cervantes.
Those who take an interest in Spanish literature will find this book of
Ticknor's a most valuable contribution to their knowledge of its whole
compass, and worth "making a note of."
