With Preface by Charles Hastings Collette. When Dr. Dollinger wrote to the effect that 'the subject of Pope Joan has not yet lost interest,' he said no more than the truth. The probability is that the topic will always have its attractions for the lovers of the curiosities of history.

Rho'idis discusses the topic with much learning and inge- nuity, and Mr. Collette's introduction is full of information.—Globe. It is interesting enough, and is accompanied by curious illustrations.—Notes and Queries. In crown 8z>o., about 450 pages, with illustrations, and historico-symbolical binding, price Js. 6d.
