THE ,STANTON PRESS.
We have received from the Stanton Press several examples of the beautiful printing done by Mr. Richard Stanton Lambert and Mrs. Eleanor Lambert. The lettering is admirably clear and dignified, the paper good, and the whole presentation competent and distinguished. The paper bindings of the smaller books are attractive. We may take as perhaps the very best example of the work of the Stanton Press the fascin- ating little book, entitled The History of Susanna, price 5s. Another small book is The Ode to Sleep, by Papinius Statius, translated into English by Richard Stanton Lambert. There is a delightful old-world feeling in Mr. Lambert's anapestics
" Sleeping are cattle and birds without number, Beasts of the wilderness rest in their lair ; Even the hills, as if weary, feign slumber, Even the torrent sighs soft in the air."
Taken as a whole, the Stanton Press books afford yet another proof of what a happy art exists, though half-hidden, in the hand printing-press.
