22 JANUARY 1876, Page 22

We have to notice a very handsome volume, The Art

Journal for 1875 (Virtue). It contains nearly four hundred pages, and furnishes the reader not only with much valuable and interesting matter relating to art, but with an art-record for the year. There are between thirty and forty full-page engravings on steel, some of them of uncommon excellence. We may single out for special notice an admirable rendering of a noble work, Mr. Foley's equestrian statue of Sir J. Ontram, engraved by Mr. W. Roffe.
