The department entitled Our Library" contains
rot;ces and illustrations oil several old works. not
the least curious of which is Les Amours de Oour-
bant ct de Mac6e" the wood-cutS illustrating winch
exhibit better drawing if not truer proportions
than can usually be found in works of the sixteenth
century NJ. VerOn has indeed selected for illustra-
ton, as he says, the only two designs which are
capable Of being reproduced, or he puts it, don't
les paaches Ct les kgeads puissent dtdrme ducem
audeur" aud it is as well that he has exercised this
discretion, for it wonld have been certainly de-
trimental to the prospects of EArt to have intro
duced to its pages any illustrations of which 1t
could be said that they were even risques
The present volume contains the usual profuson
of minor illustrations, headpieces, tapeccs, let
tiers. cartouches and forth, and all Of them are
well up to the very high standard Of art which has
been established by the projectors of this excellent
publication. II is scarcely necessary to add that
the details of printing paper, etc, arc all that can
be required and that the work continues to be,
both from literary and artistic standpoint, un-
approached.
