    REVIEWS OF RECENT BOOKS


    .$ The sixth, seventh, and eighth parts of "Representative Art of
    Our Time," edited by Charles Holme, and published by John Lane,
    complete an exceptionally sumptuous and interesting art work. The
    five preceding parts have already been noticed in BRUSH AND PENCIL.
    These concluding parts contain an article on pastels, by A. L. Baldry;
    one on monotyping in color, by Alfred East; one on Herkomergrav
    ure, by Mr. Baldry; and one on the pencil and the pen as instruments
    of art, which is unsigned. By way of illustrations they contain
    admirable pictures or reproductions by Lepere, Arnesby Brown,
    Steinlen, Bernard Partridge, George Clausen, Charles Conder, Legros,
    Watts, Dupont, Raffaelli, La Touche, Priestman, Herkomer, Sargent,
    E. J. Gregory, Edward Stott, Muhrman, and Cottet.
    The design of the editor was to give a concise account of the
    principal pictorial processes of the day and to illustrate the various
    methods considered with representative examples of work in line and
    color. For the most part, he has succeeded admirably in his enter
    prise. The examples of work gathered together are intentionally of
    varied interest, setting forth in sharp contrast the differences between
    men of acknowledged genius, and all the examples offered are printed
    with as much care as is customarily bestowed only upon "proof"
    impressions. The editor might have consistently included in the work
    many other artists than those selected, but he has given sufficient
    examples to impart to students some practical insight into the many
    sidedness of modern art and the variety of expression of which it is
    capable.

    REVIEWS OF RECENT BOOKS

    .A Charles Waldstein in "Art in the Nineteenth Century," published


    by the Macmillan Company, has offered to a wider public a lecture
    formerly delivered under the auspices of the Cambridge Extension
    Syndicate in I902. The lecture in its published form waswritten out
    from the notes from which it was first delivered, and is presented as
    nearly as possible in its original form. The book gives a general
    survey of the art of the nineteenth century. This century, in the
    opinion of the author, was the age of artistic expansion, and after a
    general discussion of this expansion he treats successively of the liter
    ary arts, music, painting, sculpture, architecture, and decorative art.
    The little book js not less an historical survey than a critical
    analysis, and is well worth a careful perusal. In a few iinstances
    only, where the limitations of time imposed by a lecture forced the
    author to give but a hurried allusion or suggestion, he has allowed
    himself to amplify and to develop passages to a slight degree in this
    written form. Still he has departed but little from the viva voce
    exposition, and the direct form of address lends a certain charm and
    interest to the work.
    ,A In "Homes and Their Decoration," published by Dodd, Mead, and
    Company, Lillie Hamilton French gives a book of most valuable sug
    gestions to the thousands of housewives who wish to make their
    surroundings more artistic and attractive. The author's purpose is
    to help the bewildered householder to see clearly what results she
    has been striving for, and how to go to work to obtain them. Hence
    she discusses the problems of home decoration from this poifit of
    view only, quoting examples of successful interiors whenever they
    seemed helpful, pointing out the reasons for their effectiveness, and
    telling how similar results can be obtained by people of limited means.
    The vofume is thus not one of theories, but is eminently practical.
    For some years it was the author's task to answer queries from all
    over the country-letters written by women of wealth and of slender
    incomes, by school-girls and brides, by city matrons and country
    wives-as to the best means for suitably decorating their homes.
    This correspondence gave an insight into the problems confronting
    and the difficulties encountered by a varied class of people, as regards
    their home arrangements; and an earnest desire and conscientious
    effort to be of assistance to these correspondents resulted in the
    acquisition of the mass of information which is systematized and pre
    sented in the book.
    On the conviction that the decorations of an individual home
    should be determined by the requirements of the occupants, the
    author first discusses these requirements. Then, after a considera
    tion of common-sense methods of procedure, she takes up the ques
    tions of color schemes, the furnishings of different rooms-kitchens,
    bedrooms, dining-rooms, drawing-rooms, parlors, libraries, living
    rooms, etc.-the dressing of particular articles of furniture and of
    82 BRUSH AND PENCIL

    windows, the care of floors, verandas, and balconies, picture framing


    and hanging, the use of plaster casts, and the hundred and one other
    matters of home furnishing and decoration that come up for solution.
    The writer is no novice in the subject of which she treats, and the
    absence of impractical theories makes the work especially acceptable.
    In a word, it is a handbook on good taste as regards a very vital
    phase of common life, and it is one that can be studied with profit by
    all who wish to avoid the "'decorative " nightmares so prevalent in
    city and urban dwellings.
    .$ Dr. Charles M. Kurtz, assistant chief of the Department of Fine
    Arts of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, has compiled a very inter
    esting and instructive " Handbook of the Saint Louis World's Fair,"
    published by the Gottschalk Printing Company. The brochure is the
    outcome of an illustrated lecture on the fair delivered by the author
    before audiences in various cities. It does not assume to give any
    thing like a complete account of the attractions that will pertain to
    the exposition, but it does provide in a simple, explicit manner such
    information as may be desired by those looking forward with interest
    to this great enterprise. The little book is profusely illustrated, is
    well printed, and is of convenient size for pocket use.
