 REGENT PUBLICATIONS.

published for the holidays by White, Stokes new American etchings, with a glance at etching as it is to-day in this country and abroad. In the general survey of etching it is noticeable that there is very little directly from nature. The two men in England who have done the most to illustrate the possibil ities of etching from nature are doing very little now. Mir. Seymour Haden has recent ly finished mezzotint of the "Agamem- non." Mr. Whistler has not equalled his earlier Thames drawings. Few of the many English etchers etch from nature. In France, Belgium and Holland it is the same. The character of our etching reflects the de- mand of the public. Etchings are selected with view to the decoration of walls and our etchers answer the requirements of the | trade without in any way lowering their art. 1 The present collection of etchings is made in | a spirit of catholicity, ignoring neither one phase nor another of our current etching. ] With this in view the publishers have select ed an etching directly from nature; a paint l CT etching or two and variety of reproduc- | tive work. The subjects include landscapes | and figures and an example of the architec | ture of old New York. This changing array of subjects heightens the interest in these ten representatives of American etching as it is l to-day. They are as follows: Moorish In cense Burner, drawn and etched by J. L. | etched by Frederick w. Freer; The Lily Pond, drawn and etched by Kruseman Van l Elten; 'tCa Pince," drawn by Bellecour and etched by James J. Callahan; Old Trinity and Wall Street, drawn and etched by Frank | M. Gregory; The Old Bridge, drawn and
 etched by Leroy Milton Yale, M; D;; The l Book Worm, etched by Joseph F. Sabin; After the Hounds, drawn and etched by w. | H. Shelton: Near Montigny, drawn and | etched by Charles Vclkmar; St. Jerome, | drawn by Ribera, etched by W. St. John | Harper. Accompanying each etching Is the history of the original and of the etching. | The work is valuable one for all who are | in the least interested in art. For sale in
 this city by Judd the bookseller.
