A Key to Picture Galleries and Portfolios,
A HANDBOOK
OF
LEGENDARY AND MYTHOLOGICAL ART,
BY
CLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT.
Eighth Edition. 180 illustrations. 1 vol., cr. ivo. cloth, $3.25.
Within 497 pages of an exquisitely printed volume, the author has con-
trived to gather a perfect storehouse of facts relative to symbolism in art,
and the legends, stories, and ancient myths associated with them
The wonderful and touching histories of the Christian saints and martyrs
are told with a freshness and fullness which give to the book an intrinsic
value quite distinct from its ulterior design The preliminary chapter
upon “ Symbolism in Art ” is of rare merit, and indicates most conscientious
labor. Indeed the book through its every page bears witness to an amount
of hard, earnest, and scholarly work such as few American authors can
rival. — Christian Union.
