“A compendium of miscellaneous information about all the women artists that the author could discover between the seventh century B.C. and the twentieth, A.D. Among the thousand names included, the late nineteenth century is the most fully represented. As the greater part of the material about contemporary painters was furnished by themselves, we may assume that it is correct.... Being alphabetically arranged, the book is a convenient manual from which to extract information about artists who have not yet got into the encyclopedias. A number of full-page illustrations add interest to the text, and a fifty-page introduction gives a general idea of what women have accomplished in art.”—Dial.

Clement, Ernest Wilson. Christianity in modern Japan. [**]$1. Am. Bapt.
“Professor Clement ... here attempts a survey of the moral forces which are now in full energy in Japan.” (Nation.) The book gives a “bird’s-eye view of the work of Christianity in Japan. It is not intended to cover the work in great detail; it is rather planned to be a general outline with reference to books, pamphlets, and magazines, where more complete information can be obtained on each special topic.” (Pub. Opin.)
“With index, tables and other equipment for a book to be studied, this has also a decided literary charm.” William Elliot Griffis.

“In literary proportion and breadth of view and in keenness of insight, this book is a model. It is all the more likely to be permanent in its influence because of its cool, judicial temper.”
