A Legend of Camelot : Pictures and Poems. By George

du Maurier. (Bradbury, Agnew, and Co.)—These pictures and poems, with one exception, appeared in Punch. Among them is the tale of the rise and fall of the Jack Sprats, that satire on the zesthetic craze of twenty years ago. The illustration to the poem. called " Two Thrones" is one of the late artist's most successful drawings. Grace of composition and varied characterisation are present in a high degree.
