BOOKS.
THIS WEEK'S BOOKS.
THERE are no books of capital importance this week ; per- haps the most attractive is English Printers' Ornaments, by Henry R. Plomer, published by Grafton and Co., containing illustrations both of old and modern printers' ornaments, which seem almost equally delightful.
Mr. Bridges publishes with-Messrs. Longmans The Chilswelt Book of English Poetry, an anthology for schools.
Another book which should be mentioned is a product of Messrs. E. Bean, Ltd., English Pottery, a critical ad historical,
survey of the various schools of Rnglish pottery. It is very finely illustrated by photographs in colour and half-tone.
The only novels of interest are Cathedral Folk (Bodley Head), by Nicolai Lyeskov, a Russian writer little known here, and an early work of Sinclair Lewis, entitled Free Air (Cape).
There is also a new play, First Blood, by Allen Monkhouse (E. Berm), the author of The Conquering Hero, which is soon
to be performed in London. -
