table. A member of an aristocratic family, Ladisias
de Paul was born in 1846, studied at Vienna, and
worked for some years at Barbizon, where he was
admitted to the intimacy of the great Frenchman
who had made that charming locality world-famous.
He devoted himself entirely
to landscape, and in his ex-
hibited paintings he showed
how keen was his sympathy
with Rousseau and with
Corot, certain of the ex
amples of his Fontainebleau
studies given by his bio
grapher combining some
thing of the grand manner
of the former with the soft
chiaroscuro of the latter
Ladisias de Paul died in
an asylum in 1879, and
not the least interesting
page of Bela Lazar's
book is that quoting a
letter written by Munkacsy
to the sister of his lost
friend giving her an account
of his last illness.

net.—The title of this little volume is somewhat
misleading, and its price out of proportion to its
value. It does not contain any unknown dicta
from the pen of the author of " The Gentle Art of
Making Enemies," but merely a few brief comments
on utterances already famous, supplemented by an
essay on the recent Memorial Exhibition at
Boston, U.S.A. With these are bound up fac-
similes of two or three unimportant letters, some
notes on certain unpublished drawings by Aubrey
Beardsley, several of which are reproduced, and an
account of an unfinished romance from his pen.
It is difficult to understand why two artists who
had so little in common should have been thus
bracketed together.

Our competitors have again failed in their con-
ception of what is necessary in a case of this kind.
Simplicity is here the primary need—something
that the village blacksmith can execute at no great
expense. A lamp such as that designed by 77*^77^
would be altogether out of place in a village ; ex-
cellent though the design is, it is much too elaborate
and expensive for a village. The same remark
applies to design. That of 7%V<%C7*7 is in
some respects satisfactory, but why the feet for a
