Sights and Scenes of Oxford City and University. (Cassell and
Co.)—Mr. Saintsbury writes an introduction for this series of photographs. He does not tell us much beyond what we all know, that Oxford has much changed within the last thirty or forty years ; but he discourses pleasantly about what was and what is, and is dutifully loyal to his Alma Mater. The photographs are of excellent quality. If the selection is not exactly all that we could wish, this cannot be helped. They are taken from the repertoire of one studio, and it was necessary, doubtless, not to go beyond. There are more interesting things in Lincoln College, for instance, than the quite modern window which looks towards All Saints, the chapel, for example, and the admirably restored hall ; but, on the whole, the collection is to be recommended.
