"The Nights" of Straparola consist of an exquisite and delightful collection of humorous, witty and mirthful conversations, tales and enigmas, including singing, music and dancing during the thirteen nights of the Carnival at Venice, as related by ten charming and accomplished damsels and several nobles, men of learning, illustrious and honorable gentlemen of note at the entertainments of merriment and pleasure given by the Princess Lucretia at her beautiful Palace at Murano.

The masterpiece of Italian prose, The Pecorone of Ser Giovanni, ranks in celebrity with Boccaccio's Decameron. The great popularity of the Pecorone arose from the fact that the amorous stories of love, intrigue and adventure therein contained cover comparatively fresh ground. Shakespeare borrowed Falstaff from Ser Giovanni, and The Merchant of Venice is founded on the first novel of the Fourth Day.

Was this history a mere fiction, very likely the form of it would have been different. Marianne's reflections would be neither so long nor so frequent. It would contain more facts and less morality; in short, the author would have indulged the universal inclination of the present age, which, in books of this kind, does not relish abundance of arguments and reflections.

136 Facetiae. The Secret History of Betty Ireland. Copper-plate frontispiece. 8vo. New 3/4 polished brown calf extra, gilt tooled back, linen sides. London, n. d. Very scarce. =$12.50=

The above Collection of Plays needs no other recommendation than that they were writ by the incomparable Mrs. A. Behn; a person whose character is so universally known, and whose performances have met with such a general applause, that 'tis needless to bespeak the readers' favor on her behalf.

Contents: The Dutch Lover, The Rover; or, The Banish'd Cavaliers; The Town Fop, Forc'd Marriage, The False Count, The Lover's Watch, The Ladies' Looking-Glass to Dress Themselves By; or, The Whole Art of Charming all Mankind.

Mrs. Behn devoted herself to intrigue and writing for support; and, as she had a good person and much conversational talent, she became fashionable among the men of wit and pleasure of the time. She published three volumes of poems by Rochester, Etherege, Crisp, and others, with some poetry of her own; and wrote seventeen plays, the heartless licentiousness of which was disgraceful both to her sex and to the age which tolerated the performance of same.
