“A very convenient single-volume edition printed in large type, the text edited by Mr. A. R. Waller from the first collected edition of Cowley’s works, published in 1688, the year after his death. This volume presents the variations noted in a collation of the 1668 text with the folio of 1656, the volume of 1663, and the edition of ‘The mistress,’ which appeared in 1647. Errors which have been discovered in the poems are indicated by brackets and are explained in the notes.”—Outlook.

Cox, Kenyon. Old masters and new: essays in art criticism. [**]$1.50. Fox.
“This volume makes no pretensions to be a history of art. It is, as Mr. Cox explains, a series of appreciations of individual masters, and, incidentally, gives a view of the course of painting since the sixteenth century. The artists principally discussed are Michelangelo, Dürer, Rubens, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, William Blake, F. M. Brown, Burne-Jones, Meissonier, Baudry, Puvis de Chavannes, Whistler, Sargent, Saint-Gaudens, Veronese, Perugino, and the Venetian artists, the Pre-Raphaelites, some of the lesser painters of the nineteenth century, and the sculptors of the early Italian renaissance.”—N. Y. Times.
