modelling in the living form can be affected by
-conditions of health and mode of life. In this last
wotk he deals with what may fairly be called a
national type—the unusually proportioned figure
characteristic of the women of Japan. He gives a
number of illustrations reproduced from photo-
graphs of living people, and many reproductions
-of drawings by Japanese artists. These illustra-
tions demonstrate effectively what is the basis upon
which the decorative convention used in that
-country has been built up, and they are well worth
studying on that account, the book is an
-excellent record of close and careful research.

-each.—These charming little volumes, each by
an author whose mark has long been made in
-art literature, are worthy of the well-known series
to which they belong. They give in a remarkably
^succinct yet eminently readable form the main
facts of the career and the most salient charac-
teristics of the work of three men of universally
acknowledged pre-eminence. The illustrations,
although they suffer necessarily from the great
reduction of size, and the want of margin, are
-excellent. They have been selected with great
care from amongst paintings in public galleries,
-and are in every case truly typical of their author's
style. In the "Murillo," Dr. Williamson has in-
-cluded the exquisite ^ <SY. ^72/<?77y, now at
Berlin, and the beautiful AAaA %/* CAzYA
CA7-A/, in the British National Gallery. In the
" Correggio," to which a melancholy interest
-attaches as one of the last works of the gifted
authoress, who passed away a few months ago, are
Ihe Naples A/a77-3'ag-<? c/* -SY. Ca//%^7-2!W, and the
AA?/y A%A/ of the Dresden Gallery; and in the
Millais," which, by the way, is a brilliant bit of art
-criticism, are the remarkably typical <7
