Notes, by Sir CHARLES EASTLAKE, R.A., President

" By far the best manual we are acquainted with, for every
one who, without the opportunity of foreign and particularly
Italian travel, desires to make a real study of art. Its method,
its chronological arrangement. and its generally judicious criti-
cism. make it most instructive to a learner."—The Ecclesiastic.

Italian painting, will find what they need iu Kugler's Handbook
of Painting, edited by Sir Charles Eastlake, with numerous sod
well•executed illustrations of the most celebrated paintings re-
ferred to in it."—Murray's Handbook of Italy.

tiuontal tourists. as necessary as the famous guide in the red
livery."—Atheruram.

•' As a portable compendium cn Italian painters the traveller
will tiud no work in a small apace so useful as this; indeed it
may be considered as a necessary companion or supplement to
the Handbooks of Italy; except in rare cases, the artist even
will find in it all the biographical details necessary for hie pur•
pose, with Indications of the principal works of each painter,
and a very clear •iew of the connection of the different Italian
schools of painting with each other."—Murray's Handbook of
Italy.

" Mr. Leslie adds one more to the number of accompliebed
men, who, like Sir Joshua Reynolds, write as admirably LI they
pawl. Though the title of his 'Handbook ' might lead to the
inference that it was only adapted for artists, it will be read
with delight and instruction by every person wbo has any enjoy.
meut in pictures."—Quarterly Review.

Being a Concise and Popular Account of the different
styles of Architecture prevailing in all ages and all

trations. 2 vols. Bvo., 38s.

"We needed a manual which should give us a succinct
account of all the principal buildings of the world ; which should
be intelligible to the general reaoer, and yet informing to die
professional artist ; which should be profusely illustrated with
specimens of all the styles known to have existed; and when
we find that it answers perfectly its intended purpose, we
treat it as a valuable and welcome addition to our current lite-
rature."--Times.

tecture. "—Murray's Handbook of Italy.

more of the essence of true connoisseurship then any other ei
the same class that has )et come before the public. Dr.
Waagen's name is too familiar to the art world to require lel
introductiou."—Quarterly Beview.

and Personal Reminiscences. By Mrs. BRAY. With
Portrait and Illustrations from his chief works. Fca)•

" In Mrs. Bray the painter has found a suitable biographer,
one who with a sufficient knowledge of art and literary taste,
possesses a hearty enthusiasm fur the subject of her memoir.
It is a worthy monument to the memory of one whom we le'
spect as a man and admire as an artist."—Likrary Ciasette.
