Pictures and People (Gollancz, 16s.) consists of the corres- pondence
between Mr. Roger Rinks and Miss i"aomi Royde- Smith while the latter way visiting Ameriea, diming the time when the Italian Exhibition was taking place in London. The letters of Mr. Hinks, for the benefit of his tourist friend, give a survey of the pictures at Burlington House, while those of Miss Royde-Smith, while occasionally referring to some of the events that appeared to her more especially interesting, deal chiefly with those masterpieces of art which have found their way across the Atlantic. Both- correspondents have a charming manner of describing the pictures- they view, and with the inclusion of a large number of reproductions of some of the finest pictures • both in the Italian Exhibition and in private collections in America, this is a really delightful book.
