Sacred Art. (Cassell and Co. 9s.) — The two hundred illustra- tions

of this book treat of Bible story from Genesis to Revelation. The pictures reproduced are modern, and the net has been thrown 'very wide. But many good things find a place in the volume.

Architecture is his strong point; people and vegetation when treated so cosmicly have a tendency to become absurd.
