Tales of the Gods and Heroes. By the Bev. Sir

G. W. Cox. (T. Nelson and Sons. 65. net.)—These are about forty short versions of Greek myths as told by the late Sir George Cox. They are interspersed with sixteen plates in colour by lanes Fripp. Apart from the drawing, some of the tones are very crude: the frontispiece is positively unpleasant. To judge from other work of the artist, the fault probably lies with the reproduction.
