Irving, Washington. Rip Van Winkle. **$5. Doubleday.
“As a book we do not think that this edition of ‘Rip Van Winkle’ is altogether satisfactory, the illustrations being too much dissociated from the letterpress both in the style of printing and the general presentment of the work; but as an album of pictures by a great artist, it is every way commendable, and can but add to the artist’s well-deserved reputation.”
