The Art of James McNeill Whistler. By T. R. Way

and G. R. Dennis. (G. Bell and Sons. 10s. 6d. net.)—This is a pleasantly written appreciation which does not claim in any way to be a final study of the master. The illustrations are most interesting, as they give examples of the wonderful variety of Whistler's art. Some day, no doubt, a complete review of the artist's works and achievements will be given to the world. In the meantime such books as the present one are valuable, as they enable us to become familiar in a measure with works the originals of which are so rarely seen in public exhibitions.
