Soldiers All. By J. C. Chase . (New York :
Doran ; Hodder and Stoughton. 42s. net..)—Mr. Chase, the American artist, was sent by the American War Department to France to paint portraits of the leading American generals and of soldiers Who had distinguished themselves in the- field. This handsome book contains good reproductions of his numerous portraits with short biographies. A capital likeness of General Perdhing forms the frontispiece. A glance through the book shows that, though there are many types among the picked manhood of America, a distinctively American type is evolving. English people generally recognize an American's nationality by instinct, but it might be possible for an anatomist to define the special points in a characteristically American face with the help of such a collection of clever portraits as this.
