The book on art is one of the most salient phe-
noroena in the business Of publishing at the
rresent moment Indeed. * is hardly an exas-
ee-asion TO say that this field is being exploited
with 10 less energy than is shown where ncnon
IS concerned. It is true that there are more new
novels than there are new art books, but the
latter constantly make UP IN elaborsteness ana
costliness what they lack in numbers Two or
three years ago the luxurious work on some
SOS TO $50 was about the most expensive work
Of the kind published. Now art books are
brought out in some cases such great scale
and at such high price that they are not put
on The market IN the strict sense at all. but are
privately subscribed before publication, and are
distributed without any discussion Of them IN
the public prints. At the same time the inter
lests Of the Ordinary purchaser are not by any
means neglected, and side by side with gorgeous
tones are issued all manner OF small hand
books miniature biographies and brief illustra-
tive historical studies for popular consumption.
The forthcoming season Will witness the publ
cation OF an unprecedented quantity Of artistic
literature The Scribners viii bring out two
works Of great Importance. One Of them Is the
edition, IN six volumes. Of Grove & Caval-
casele's History Of Painting" largely re-
written and richly illustrated. The other is a
volume containing sixty photographers OF paint
ings by John S. Sargent The same firm prom
ises copiously illustrated Quarto on impress
