Wo have received Royal Academy Pictwres, 1893, Part I. (Cassell

and Co.), being the "Royal Academy Supplement" of the Maga- zine of Art. The pictuaes, of svhiels there are several hundreds here given, are reproduced by photography. The collection, we need not say, is highly interesting, including some beautiful things, many that are worth notice, and some few which, whatever their merit, have certainly a ludicrous look. The highly realistic 'bust on p. 86 is an instance of the latter kind.
