.4 Popular Handbook to the National Gallery. By E. T.

Cook. (Macmillan and Co. 10s. 6d.)—The sixth edition of this valuable guide-book to the National Gallery is divided into two volumes, one for the foreign, and one for the English pictures. These last are all considered together, whether they are in Trafalgar Square or at the Tate Gallery. The descriptions and accounts of the pictures are not technical, but contain much valuable information about their histories, and accounts of recent controversies as to questions of authenticity.
