WAYLAND SMITH.

"'WAYLAND SMITH:' a Dissertation on a Tradition of the Middle Ages, from the French of G. B. Depping and Francisque Michel, with Additions by S. W. Singer, and the Amplified Legend, by Oehlenschlager." Pickering, 1847.

To this very interesting little volume I would refer those of my readers who feel desirous of tracing.the resemblance of our humble "Jack the Tinkeard," with the Icelandic Valund, the English Velond, or Sir Walter Scott's Wayland in "Kenilworth."
