CXther note-
worthy work in Il-
lustration is to be
found in Joseph
PennelPs draw-
ings for Henry
James’s “English
Hours” (Hough-
ton, Mifflin and
Co., Boston, 8vo,
$3.00); Charles
Livingston Bull’s
spirited drawings
for Charles G. D.
Roberts *s animal
story, “Red Fox”
(L.C. Page &Co.,
Boston, 8vo,
$2.00) ; the draw-
ings by Clara El-
sene Peck, o f
which we show a
charming exam-
ple, reproduced in
two colours for a
story called
“Shake speare’s
Sweetheart,” by
Sara Hawks Ster-
ling (George W.
Jacobs & Co.,
Philadelphia, 8vo,
$2.00); the in-
teresting faithful-
ness to the crayon
or pencil, in the
reproductions of
John Elliott’s il-
lustrations for Maud Howe’s book,“Two in Italy.”
(Little, Brown & Co., Boston, 8vo, $2.00 net).
Among the instances where the illustrator’s work
is the major reason for printing we have “Eve’s
Daughters.” (DanaEstes&Co., Boston, 8vo,$i.7s).
Arthur G. Learned, a young artist whose render-
ing of the pretty girl has already grown pleasantly
familiär, decorates this collection of truths, half-
truths and nothing-farther-from-the-truths, ranging
from Plato to Helen Hunt Jackson, with a viva-
cious pen frequently dipped in humour and
employed for the moment in extracting a sort of
Champagne gaiety from gowns, hats and pretty
shoulders. Among the juveniles, E. Boyd Smith
has found new humour in the deluge in his
drawings in cotour for his “Story of Noah’s
Ark.” (Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston, oblong
8vo, $2.00 net). Leslie Brookes begins a series of
children’s books with the portentious histories of
the “Three Little Pigs,” and “Tom Thumb.”
(Frederick Warne & Co., New York, zpo, cloth,
$1.00, separately in paper, 50 cents each). These
toy books mark in the high quality of the colour
plates a departure from the earlier gaudy litho-
graphic attempts.
To turn from this glance at a representative
variety of books artistic to books of art proper, Mr.
G. Wooliscroft Rhead publishes a serviceable text-
book for teachers, students and craftsmen, on
“The Principles of Design.” (Imported by Chas.
Scribner’s Sons, 8vo, $2.25 net). The volume, fol-
lowing in general scheine the new syllabus of the
