Old Ingleborough Pamphlets, No. I., by Herbert M. White
(Elliot Stock, 1904), is also a "popular" archaeological
brochure, reprinted from the Lancaster Guardian, and
prettily illustrated.
The Capital of the Yorkshire Wolds, a lecture delivered to the
Hull Literary Club by John Nicholson {Observer Office,
Driffield), contains, inter alia, the writer's note on " bonnin'
awd witch," in Folk-Lore, xiv., 92, and a few other items of
local folklore.
We have also received the first part of the Scottish Historical
Revieiv ; the current number of the Journal of the Royal Society
of Antiquaries of Ireland, now in its fifty-sixth year of issue (a
publication which ought to be searched by collectors of Irish
folklore) ; and the first number of the Celtic Revieiv (Edinburgh,
Norman Macleod), containing an article by Mr. Nutt on the
Critical Study of Gaelic Literature, in which he lays stress on
the correspondence between the " runs " in Irish and Scottish
folktales, orally collected, as evidence of the superior age of the
oral versions to those contained in the Irish MSS., where a
dififerent set of formulas prevails.
