strongly individual work of Mr. Charles Ricketts,
there is sign of a distinctly personal note which
promises much. One might exhaust many good
superlatives in praise of this daintiest of dainty
books. Caviare to the many, to the few who enjoy
fancy and finely imagined ornament it offers more

decorative suggestions in its small compass than
any volume of equal size one can recall.
The Year's Art, 1894. (London: J. S. Virtue
& Co.)—To discuss fully so indispensable a work
were as futile as an essay on the value of the London
Directory, Bradshaw, or Whitaker's Almanack.

save that the most retiring of mankind—editors—
are here dragged from obscurity to a modified
publicity, what need one say of an annnal, better
than ever this year, except in the words of a famous
advertisement, that it is always good alike.
Among forthcoming works in preparation of
especial interest to artists, one of the most important
is a portfolio of 450 photographs, imperial 4to, of
Ijidian Architecture, to be issued in three series
at intervals of a twelvemonth, at the cost of ^10
each, by Mr. \V. Griggs. This superb publication
FROM "GOBLIN MARKET" (MACMILLAN &• CO.)
will be illustrated from the negatives in possession
of the India Office. Another volume that will
be welcome is a new edition of the excellent
Elementary History of Art, by N. DAnvers (Nancy
Bell), revised by the author. Vanishing London :
a book of sketches of Old Houses in London and
Westminster, by Roland W. Paul (Pugin Student
R.I.B.A., 1888), judging by the prospectus, will
be of great artistic value.
Here, too, we may note the new series of The
Portfolio, which is now a royal 8vo pamphlet of
90 pages; the whole being devoted entirely to
Rembrandt Etchings with four facsimiles by
Amand-Durand, and 36 blocks in the text, by Mr.
P. G. Hamerton. It is an excellent monograph.
