Onefault we have to find with the book is that some ofthe modern features of architecture illustrated, nodoubt to make clear a particular form of adapta-tion of statuary to masonry, are not, in themselves,entitled to the tribute paid them by their inclusionin this very serviceable and thoughtful treatise. Beautiful Buildings in France and descriptive notes by C. Harrison Towns-end, (London : T. Fisher Unwin.). \os. Q>d. net.—For the illustration of this attractivealbum, in which many of the architectural gloriesof France and Belgium are represented, Sam Prout,Clarkson Stanfield, Shotter Boys, William Callow,David Roberts, Joseph Nash and other artists whoexcelled in the portrayal of picturesque old build-ings have been drawn upon. Though some of theedifices depicted—such as the town halls of Arrasand Ypres and the Cathedrals of Malines andRheims—have suffered grievously from the ravagesof war, it is a consolation to think that most ofthem, all with a few exceptions located in or nearthe sphere of military operations, have so farsurvived unscathed. But apart from its relation tocurrent events, the volume has an enduring inter-est as containing fine examples of pictorial art byartists of note whose reverence for the great master-pieces of another art was reflected in their PenneUsPictures of the Wonder ofWork.
