Wor.s.s or REFERENCE.—The Fear's Art, 1921, edited by A. C.

R. Carter (Hutchinson. Ss. 6d. net), appears for the forty-second year. The art sales of 1920 were not quite so remarkable as those of 1919, yet sixty-three pictures and draw- ings were sold for at least 1,400 guineas apiece, Raeburn's " Macdonald Children " in the Hills sale being the most highly priced, at 20,000 guineas. The editor has evidently taken great pains with the revision of the accounts of societies and exhibitions, and of the lists of artists and dealers which render this handbook indispensable to those who are interested in art.
