TALES AND TRADITIONS OF HUNGARY.

By Theresa Pulszky, with a Portrait of the Author. One vol.,
price $1.25.

The above contains, in addition to the English publication, a new Preface, and
Tales, now first printed from the manuscript of the Author, who has a direct interest
in the publication.

"This work claims more attention than is ordinarily given to books of its class. Such
is the fluency and correctness—nay, even the nicety and felicity of style—with which
Madame Pulszky writes the English language, that merely in this respect the tales here
collected form a curious study. But they contain also highly suggestive illustrations of
national literature and character."

—London Examiner.

"Freshness of subject is invaluable in literature—Hungary is still fresh ground. It
has been trodden, but it is not yet a common highway. The tales and legends are very
various, from the mere traditional anecdote to the regular legend, and they have the
sort of interest which all national traditions excite."

—London Leader.
