Unicorns. By James Huneker. (T. Werner Laurie. 10s. 6d. net.)—Mr.

Huneker's new volume of essays on literature, art, sad music is the product of a vivacious and catholic mind, interested in all new movements, but holding fast to the standards that endure. The papers on Henry James, RAmy de Gourmont, J. K. Huysmans, Cezanne, and George Sand are interesting. There is, too, a clever essay on " Style and Rhythm in English Prose." " For practical everyday needs the eighteenth-century prose men are the best to follow," he says ; " but the Bible is the Golden Book of English prose."
