Sir J. E. Millais : his Art and Influence. By

A. L. Baldry. (Bell and Sons. 7s. 6d.)—This is more a study of the art of Millais than a biography, and is a just and sober appreciation of the painter. Particularly good is the chapter devoted to the landscapes. Mr. Baldry points out the limitation of Millais in regard to atmospheric effect, a limitation which prevented him from painting a really great landscape.
