Scott, Dixon. [Liverpool.] il. (Color books ser.) *$2.50. Macmillan.
Liverpool is described by Mr. Scott and pictured by J. Hamilton Hay. It is “an attempt to mirror the vital aspect which the city presents to the world today rather than to offer a rechauffé of the past.”
“The plates in colour are far above those usually found in books of this series, and while not doing full justice to Mr. Hay’s powers, they at least attest the quality of his colour and the purity of its application. Mr. Scott’s style, unlike his Liverpool, though ‘variegated and distracted,’ fails to be ‘puissant and concerted.’”
