* * * * If the second and third volumes
of the Shakespeare Head
Edition of Chapman's Homer (Basil Blackwell, five volumes, £3 3s. each) can now be given but brief notice it is because the splendour and, even more, the exquisite appropriateness of the format of this edition were dealt with at length on the appearance of the first volume. It must, however, now be added that Mr. Farleigh seems, as it were, to have got into his stride with the illustrations, unless, perhaps, it is that we have become more accustomed to his style. At first there was a feeling of the too conscious admixture of the character of the Greek vase with modern Cubism. Now our mind dwells less on the origins and more on the artist's inter- pretation of Chapman-cum-Homer and we are more and
more attracted by it. * * * *
