From Gallery and Studio
Oxford. From the photographs we have
seen it is possible to speak very warmly of
the quality of Mr. Blount's work, especially
the proportion of the framing and the
massing of the ornamental details, without
injury to the dignity of the whole. It is so
easy to fritter away the effect of decoration
by too ornate adjuncts, that this reticence
deserves commendation.
We are requested to announce a series
of six lectures by Mr. Hugh Stannus,
F. R.I.B.A., on "The Treatment of Mould-
ings in connection with Modern Wood-
work," commencing April 16. Also another
series on " Wood and Construction," by Mr.
G. A. Mitchell, commencing April 26. Both
series will be delivered at the School of
Wood Carving, South Kensington. A series
of eight lectures on " ^Esthetics," to be
delivered by Professor Sully, at University
College, London, on Monday afternoons,
from April 23, will be devoted to the con-
sideration of some applications of Psycho-
logy to the Theory of the Fine Arts.
At the twelfth exhibition of the New
English Art Club there is an etching by
Marcellin Desboutin—a portrait of M.
Degas. It will be remembered that the
so-called Absinthe Drinker of Degas' pic-

be congratulated on the success of this
innovation, which is popularly attri
buted to his suggestions.
The fine collection of Japanese Pic-

at the same Museum, are now duly

for his admirable work in connection
with this quite important pamphlet.
