We have received a publication of the "Art Union of

London," a set of twenty very spirited illustrations by Mr. H. C. Selous of Mr. Charles Kingsley's " Hereward the Wake." The public taste has taken another direction since the day when not a few voices hailed Mr. Selena as "the coming man" of art, but he always draws with vigour, and puts character into his figures, if not into his faces.
