In the drawings of Matthew Maris, as
in his paintings, there is a subtlety and
elusiveness with which the process en-
graver, no matter how near perfection
are the methods he commands, finds it
difficult to cope, but bearing this in mind
the reader will see in the reproduction we
give a characteristic example of the
draughtsmanship of this rare genius.
The Royal Society of Painters in
Water-Colours has suffered a serious loss
by the death of Mr. Francis E. James,
the well-known flower painter, who, after
leading an invalid life for many years,
passed away at his home in Torrington,
North Devon, on August 25th, at the
age of 70. Of late years the name of the

which he painted during his travels in
Germany, Italy and elsewhere. Like
the late Mr. H. B. Brabazon, a country
gentleman who gradually became an
artist, Mr. James was fortunately so
circumstanced that he could give rein
to his artistic impulses without the con-
straints imposed Icy pecuniary considera-

a pot-boiler," to quote the words of Mr.

viewed Mr. James's work in an article
which appeared in this magazine in 1898.
From the journal of the Royal Institute
of British Architects we learn of the
death of Dr. Josiah Conder, who settled
in Japan forty-four years ago and died
there on June 21st last in his 68th year.
Dr. Conder was for many years archi-
tectural adviser to the Japanese Govern-

public and private, were constructed under
