A Book of Pictured Carols. Designed under the direction of

Arthur S. Gaskin. (George Allen.)—Here we have thirteen carols, beginning with the old favourite, "Good King Wenceslas." Among the others are "In Bethlehem, that noble place," and "God rest you, merry gentlemen." The designs proceed from the Birmingham Art Club. We may mention the illustrations to "Three Damsels in the Queen's Chamber" and "The Seven Virgins" as among those that have pleased us most.
