The Commonsense Collector. By Frank Frankfort Moore. (Hodder and Stoughton.

10s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Moore gives as his sub-title "A Handbook of Hints on the Collecting and Housing of Antique Furniture." He writes, keeping in view the "too common shallowness of the human purse," for people who have taste and intelligence out of proportion to their means. Most of us will fancy that this description is suitable to ourselves. However this may be, here certainly is a guide that will be found useful, the more useful the better qualified the reader to take advantage of its hints and suggestions.
