Come unto Me: Twelve Pictures from the Life of the

Lord. By Heinrich Hoffman. (Griffith, Ferrari, and Co.)—These twelve pictures, beginning with the Annunciation and ending with the post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus to Mary, are somewhat in -the style of Overbeck. The tendency of religious art in later days has been to something more realistic; but if these drawings are conventional, they have certainly both grace and reverence. Each picture is accompanied bar passages from Scripture, and poetical extracts from well-known writers.
