additions are volumes upon Piero della Fran-
cesca, by W. G. Waters ; Della Robbia, by the

which have already been referred to in these pages,
there is now being issued a new one relating to
“ Continental Churches.” The two first volumes
we have received treat respectively of Rouen and
Chartres, their Cathedrals and Churches. Both
works will be found valuable companions to the
traveller whose good fortune it may be to visit
those cities. Mr. John Lane’s “ Handbooks of
Practical Gardening ” are enriched by a new work
by Harry Roberts, entitled The Book of Old-
fashioned 'Flowers. Mr. Roberts is evidently a
good gardener who professes to hold most catholic
views, but he inclines us to imagine that he is not
altogether in sympathy with those who believe in
the art that “adds to Nature.” Messrs. Schuster
& Loeffler, of Berlin and Leipzig, have for some
time past been publishing an excellent series
of Handbooks relating to modern Continental
painters. Arnold Boeklin, Franz Stuck, Dans
Thoma, and Fritz von Uhde have all been sympa-
thetically dealt with by Franz Hermann
Meissner, and it is to be hoped that the list may
be still further extended.
Among the most notable of the illustrated story-
books recently published may be mentioned A
Real Queen's Fairy Book, by Carmen Sylva, the
Queen of Roumania.
(London : George
Newnes.) The delight-
ful imaginative tales
by this distinguished
authoress are illus-
trated by some clever,
powerful and beautiful
drawings by Plarold
Nelson and Garth
Jones. An edition of
Grimm's Household
Tales, edited and partly
translated anew by
Marian Edwardes,
with line drawings by
R. Anning Bell (Lon-
don : J. M. Dent &
Co.) is welcome, not
only on account of its
ever popular stories,
but also for the value
of its numerous illus-
trations. The Reign of
King Cole (London:
J. M. Dent & Co.), is
a series of tales selected
from Hans Andersen,
Brothers Grimm, Ara-
bian Nights, Gulliver’s
Travels, and other
sources. The illustra-
tions by Charles Rol in-
son are full of imagina-
tion and humour, and
maintain for the artist
the high reputation as
a designer for children’s
