principal illustrations are eight etchings and four photogravures.

Of the former, we may mention the frontispiece, " Winter in Brabant," by Mr. J. C. Farrer, after G. H. Boughton, and " For God

and King," a very spirited battle-piece by Mr. A. P. Masse, after Mr. Stanley Berkeley ; of the latter, " Maternity," after Mr. George Hitchcock's picture. Contemporary art is described and appre- ciated. The personal element is, of course, largely introduced, as the fashion of the day commands. There is a series of "Draw- ings of Artists in their Studios," and a series of papers, by Mr. J. F. Boyes, on " Chiefs of our National Museums."
