The Lotos Eaters, by Alfred Lord Tennyson ; and The

Raven, by E. A. Poe, with Designs by T. R. R. B. (Gay and Bird, 3s. 6d. each.)—These are two exceedingly pretty little books. The text is framed in a border pattern of conventional and natural flowers and leaves in black and white. The designs are not only interest- ing and pretty in themselves, but the masses are well balanced, and the whole effect is harmonious.
