British Contemporary Artists. By Cosmo Monkhouse. (W. Heinemann. 21s.)—This book

contains seven articles reprinted from Scribner's Magazine, with illustrations. Watts, Millais, Leighton, Orchardson, Alma-Tadema, and Poynter are the sub- jects of these sober and intelligent criticisms. The author is neither startling nor profound in his ideas, but rather moderate and sensible.
