THE MONTHLY CHRONICLE
OF
North-Country Lore and Legend.
_From the "Newcastle Weekly Chronicle."_
It has repeatedly been suggested that the valuable matter published every week in the _Weekly Chronicle_ should be reprinted in some handier form, so as to be capable of permanent preservation. Not a few of our readers take the trouble to cut out the articles in which they are interested, paste them in scrap-books, and thus form a serviceable collection of local and other literature. But this process involves the purchase of special requisites, and the consumption of considerable patience and time.
We have, therefore, arranged with Mr. WALTER SCOTT, the well-known publisher, of Felling-on-Tyne, and Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row, London, to publish, in monthly parts, all the more permanently interesting contributions that will appear in the future issues of the _Weekly Chronicle_.
This publication will be entitled the _Monthly Chronicle of North-Country Lore and Legend_, and will be offered to the public in a special wrapper at the price of sixpence. The size of the reprint will be crown quarto, and each number will consist of forty-eight double-column pages. The articles reprinted will be so revised that the errors which necessarily creep into a weekly newspaper will, as far as possible, be corrected or erased.
The first number of the _Monthly Chronicle_ (for March) will be published on the 25th of February.
