Greek Bronzes. By A. S. Murray. "The Portfolio Series." (Seeley
and Co.)—The author traces the resemblances between existing small bronze statues and large statues in marble. Also, he makes various conjectures as to the great statues at Athens no longer existing, but described by ancient writers, tracing resemblance between the descriptions and the existing little bronzes.
Messrs. Hanfstaengel who are about to produce a book on the pictures at Windsor, beginning with the Vandycks, have sent us a specimen of the proposed work. The scale is large, and the specimen photogravure in the prospectus is excellent. Mr. Law—whose admirable work on the Hampton Court pictures was noticed not long since in these columns—will supply the critical comments. If the work when complete is equal to the sample, it should be a good production.
