Correggio at Parma. By Selwyn Briuton. (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.

2s. and 2s. 6d.)—This is the fifth in the series entitled "The Renaissance in Italian Art," and now appears in a second edition with some additional plates. Its main subject is indi- cated by the title ; but it also gives a vigorous sketch of the rule of the house of Este at Ferrara, and there is an account of the artistic school of this city and of Parma. The illustrations number twenty-four, the gem among them being, we think, the "Dead Christ," by Francis (in the National Gallery). Francis learnt his art from Ferrara, but his life was chiefly lived at Bologna.
