Hearn, Lafcadio. [Some Chinese ghosts.] **$1.50. Little.

Mr. Hearn sought especially for “weird beauty” in preparing the legends grouped here. The six tales possess the charm of a poet’s touch and are as follows: The soul of the great bell, The story of Ming-Y, The legend of Tchi-Niu, The return of Yen-Tchin-Kny, The tradition of the tea-plant and The tale of the porcelain god.

“New and most attractive edition of a delightful book.”

“The book is of almost painful interest, but is no mere political pamphlet.”
