A CATALOGUE OF THE PICTURES AT ELTON HALL IN'HUNTINGDONSHIRE: By

Tancred Borenius, Ph.D., and the Rev. J. V. Hodgson, M.A. (Medici Society, Ltd. £5 5s. net.)

This beautifully produced catalogue of Colonel Douglas James Proby's collection, which has been compiled by two such able experts as Dr. Borenius and the Rev. J. V. Hodgson, should be greatly appreciated by all collectors and students. It is unfortunate that the choice of the pictures which have been reproduced shows so little adventure. Would it not have been better to have chosen illustrations of the work of some of the lesser known artists represented in the collec- tion to replace the all-too-many reproductions of Reynolds' portraits.
