It is difficult to give an idea of the varied

contents of L'.Art, Nenvieme Anat., Tome III. (Remington), bat we may mention as specially noteworthy among them M. Emile Michel's two articles on " Rubens in the Munich Museum," with the fine etching, "Portrait d'un Savant," by M. Daniel Mordant, that accompanies the first ; the reproductions of the relief of Luca della Robbia in the Campanile of Giotto, and the tomb of Benozzo, Bishop of Florence ; M. Lenormant's article on ancient numismatics, with its very admirable representa- tions of the coins described. The etchings generally are admirable, especially the portrait after Franz Hals by M. Courtry, and two scenes at Marseilles (the new Cathedral, the entrance to the old harbour), by M. Maximo Lalanne. The excellence of L'Art is all the more praiseworthy because it is a weekly journal.
