comparatively small matters, which may
safely be left to the judicious reader.

When we come to the ballad 'Clerk
Colvin' we find a different state of things.
The opening stanza of this narrative states
that the "girdle round the middle jimp" of
Colvin's lady cost her lord no less a sum than
crowns fifteen. To this Lewis or his repre-
stays"! This deliverance may have been
sentative appends the startling note, "Jimps,
due not so much to hopeless ignorance as
misguided ingenuity, for the annotator may
have been thinking of another ballad, where
a lady exclaims :-

And wha will lace my middle jimp
Wi' a lang linen band?

and Wonder' to the useful series which he
published under the title of the "Universal
Library." He seems to have restricted his

editorial duties to the writing of a concise " "Dowie" is the word here that naturally
and helpful introduction and, perhaps, the proves the mettle of the glossarist, and it is
superintendence of the text. Lewis's notes appalling to find him, with all the English
he has left to themselves: he has not supple-language to draw upon, deliberately choosing
mented them where additions were wanted,
and he has not corrected mistakes. There
is need, for instance, to qualify Lewis's ex-
planation of "wraiths" water-spirits,"
given as a note on a line in Bothwell's
Bonny Jane'; and what is said of St. Bothan,
Hallowe'en, and the Brownie at further stages
of the same ballad could be materially im-
proved by expert comment. "Bellane-
tree" and "bathy" in the notes to Scott's
'Glenfinlas' are misprints for beltane-tree
and bothy; and the definition of "windle-
strae," which occurs in Leyden's 'Elfin-King,'
is not sufficiently exhaustive, even if it does
happen to have been the explanation given
by Leyden himself. These, however, are

swiftly as an appropriate equivalent! Surely
Monk Lewis, if indeed he were his own ex-
ponent, must have known the verb "dow,"
signifying to fade or wither, and common
in Scottish poetry from the Book of the
Houlate' onwards. Then 'The Dowie Dens
o' Yarrow' had worn the grave and sweet
dignity of old romance for generations
before the compilation of 'Tales of Terror
and Wonder.' The modern reader who
wishes to see "dowie" properly applied may
be referred to the works of Hew Ainslie, a
poet who has written genuine Scottish verse
in these latter days, when the higher criticism
has said that such verse is impossible. Ainslie
thus opens a touching elegiac poem :—
