"If, gentle reader, you will step across this threshold, now, as the moon rises, in the keen Christmas air, and will find a place by the ruddy ingle within-doors, you may hear, if you will, a Babel of voices from many lands, telling over the adventures of the road and falling into the good-fellowship of the happy Christmas season." In this wise does Mr. Morris welcome us to the good cheer in "In the Yule-Log Glow." These three dainty volumes contain Christmas tales and Christmas poems "from 'round the world;" they are full of the glad spirit of the season, and they celebrate it in manifold ways, but in uniform excellence of manner. The third volume we are asked to read between the intervals of tale-telling. It contains ditties, hymns and carols; mere scraps and wisps of verse; melodious lays and rollicking songs; Christmas ballads, Santa Claus fancies and joyous choruses over the wassail-bowl.
