 The Cathedrals of Northern France, by Francis MilrOun. is a book of more than ordinary value on account or the authors thorough understanding of the subject, and the attractive style in which the information has been pre- sented. No such detailed descriptions of the grand old structures could have been written except by one who had given the matter extensive study and who had a knowledge of architecture that was more than superficial.
 Not only are the cathedrals described, but the events and opinions that found their expression in the various types are given attention, impartinS an tnti- mate knowledge of the construction of the buildings and giving an under standing of causes that led to the adop- tion of the different forms.
 Cathedrals are something more than huge structures of great age to the per son who reads this book-they are the expression of well defined ideas that have their origin in diversity of con- temporaneous occurrences and the de- velopment of architectural types is in telligently understood.
 Many of the most notable buildings are pictured, the illustrations number ing eighty, and many plans and dia- grams are given. The volume also has appendices that assist the reader i'll more thoroughly understanding the sub- ject. L. c. Page and Company, pub fishers. Boston: price $1.0O net.
