Professor Tancred Borenius writes with authority and discrimination of'Forty London

Statua and Public Monuments (Methuen, 10s. 6d., with special photographs . by 'E. 0. Winne) and while Opinion may diffei• as te• the 'aesthetic 'qualities of " Rima," we think posterity will agree with Mr. Borenius That the stone howitzer of .the' Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner is'a clumsy and unconvincing conception. Besides the criticism• and opinions, mud): information about our older monuments is made easily accessible, so that both the casual visitor to London and students of sculpture will find here

-.something of value, or at least of interest. •
