We have been greatly amused by these volumes, which exhibit a great deal of ingenuity and fancy. The plan is, that some travellers are snow bound at Canterbury; and each, after a little coquetry, agrees to tell his tale in imitation of the prototype Chaucer. We are particularly pleased with the Poet's tale in the first, and the young Lady's tale, which is so much longer than the rest, (natural enough) as to occupy the whole of the second volume. More of these may be expected, and we shall receive them gladly.
