We are a little disappointed with Valenti Angelo's illus- trations

of A Sentimental Journey Through France and Daly (Bodley Head, 25s.), although their style is in keeping with the period. But Laurence Sterne is a difficult author to illustrate, and the modern artist cannot adapt himself easily to the atmosphere of The Sentimental .Tourney. We feel coloured illustrations would have been more successful for this book.
