Lippmann, Friedrich. Engraving and etching: a handbook for the use of students and print collectors. 3d ed. rev. by Dr. Max Lehrs; tr. by Martin Hardie; with 131 il. *$3. Scribner.
Dr. Lehrs has made revisions in keeping with the last century’s results in modern research, especially along the lines of steel engraving, lithography and the modern mechanical processes which have caused a revolution in reproductive arts.
“Is not only comprehensive, but so well written that we scarcely appreciate, as we read, the industry and learning necessary for such a task. The chapter on engraving in England is very brief, and not up to the standard of the rest of the work.”

“Though the version, on the whole, is spirited and readable, we have noticed several passages in which the sense of the original has been missed. In technical matters, however, which set most pitfalls for the translator of such a handbook, Mr. Hardie’s knowledge has enabled him to walk warily.”
