Cambridge: The Univer-

gra vers of the eighteenth century.” /The colour plates,
of which there are thirty, were made in Paris and
are mounted on the text paper of the work, which
is ornamented with decorations taken from the
publications of Plantin, the great printer and
countryman of Rembrandt, whose house in An-
twerp is to this day the object of wonder and ad-
miration to the traveller and the student.
“Rembrandt,” writes Mr. Michel, “as we may
easily conceive, was likely to be misunderstood by
his contemporaries. He was too personal, too novel,
too unexpected, to find a public on his own level,
as soon as he appeared. As time has gone on, he
has made converts in every country and in every
camp. He has many claims to the preference of
our own period, for he is the most modern of all
the great masters.”

age, 35c. New York: John Lane Company,

The editors have had in mind in this special
number the pictorial as well as the architectural
point of view and have aimed to make a record of
the quaint and picturesque homesteads left by the
village carpenter and mason of bygone days and
now giving place to less interesting cottage archi-
tecture of the present day. The illustrations in
black and white are from pen and ink drawings on

sity Press.
The seventh volume of the
monthly magazine “The Printing Art” maintains
the high character in interest and performance that
earlier issues have set. The progress made in print-
ing of late years is not sufficiently appreciated.
Much of the success of such educational projects
as the broadcast appearance of art books, such as
those glanced at above, depends for the full meas-
ure of satisfaction upon the skilful control of press-
work, and in this interest the volume is of high
importance. Interesting special articles are “The
Relation of Book Illustrations to Type,” by Regi-
nald Blomfield; “The Colour Green,” by E. N.
Vanderpoel; “Historic Ornament,”bytheeditor,etc.
