Drawing for Reproduction. By C. G. Harper. (Chapman and Hall.)—Mr.

Harper most certainly knows what he is writing about, and, so we suppose, must be allowed to be positive in his argu- ments and occasionally contemptuous to the point of rudeness. But indeed he has plenty to say that is good teaching ; he says it incisively and clearly, and he has illustrated his remarks and comparisons between different processes with some admirable reproductions. Those who draw for pleasure will glean many helpful and practical hints from Mr. Harper, who is not at all secretive ; and those who draw for profit will be thankful for some valuable advice by one who seems to have brought out the comparative values of various processes with much care and skill. Everybody interested in drawing with chalk, pen, pencil, or charcoal should read Drawing for Reproduction.
