Messrs. Chapman and Hall have published two editions of The

Imitation of Christ. One is illustrated with twenty-four reproduc- tions of Italian art (including a " Holy Family " by Mmillo) ; the other has a frontispiece portrait of Thomas 1 Kemple. The English text appears to be the same ; it would have been well to give a note on the subject of text, for there are complete editions, and others which have been " Anglicanised." The illustrated copy (3s. 6d. net) is furnished with references and occasional footnotes; the other (6s.) is recommended by specially good paper and tYPograPhy.
