The Library of Art in which we have al
ready welcomed several excellent monographs
has one particularly ingratiating merit. Ihe
late Mr. Arthur Strong, who projected 1t and
was it's general editor down to the time OF his
death, seems to have had a wholesome indlf-
ference to those pedantic theories of system
which often the different volumes in a
series on the various developments of one great
subject, to wear the appearance of having all
been cast in mould. He had the courage TO
allow Sir Charles HOlroyd to make his book on
Michael Angelo a judicious combination of orig
inal work and translation from Condlvl 1t dld
not in the least disturb him to give Dr.
Gronau's ''Titian" a place beside M Dinner S
very different book on French Painting in the
Sixteenth Century" He liked individuality In
his contributors. How much he liked 1T Is
shown by his having assigned the writing OF
the volume on Direr to Mr.. I. Surge Moore,
who frankly confesses in his preface that he has
made no new researches into his subject and is.

the social conditions OF the South would have
been a Direr transmogrified; that the religious
impulse so finely illustrated in his work as it
stands the impulse in the expression of
which he was most thoroughly himself. 1t not
only determined the nature of his designs. but
built up the very bone and sinew of his style
Had he been permanently subjected to the play
of italian humanism had he allowed himself TO
be saturated in the culture of the time as the
Florentines. the Romans and the Venetians un-
derstood it. he could not but have lost some
thing of that austerity which is as the very
soul of his work. 1t was good for him to visit
Venice and to respond from time to time to the
appeal of Italian art But it best for him
to suffer his intellectual experiences on his ma
tive soil, to preserve intact not only the passion
of a great artist but the poise of a good
burgher. In him the one force reacted upon the
other so steadfastly that we cannot imagine him
successfully exploiting either without it's op-
posite AT times Mr.. Moore seems. in fact.
to be of our own way of thinking. Abiding to
the epicureanism of WiIlibald Pirkheimer. the
painters bosom friend, he says:
Something of all this was doubtless in Diirer too
but in him it was refined and harmOniZed by the
sense and serious concern not only for the things
day; the sense OF solidarity the passion for per
like Pirkhemer. still more in Erasmus. and
even in Rabelais and Montaigne, are not absent;
but they are less stringent less religious, than they
in a Direr a Michael Angelo.
We feel that Michael Angelo drew his central
strength. the power that enabled him to soar
to heights unapproached by any of his coun-
trymen, from the depths of his own soul
Though DJrer had his inner resources we feel
that he leaned religion more than did the
Italian master; that his genius kept him closer
to the earth and to the German life about him;
that his art is bound UP with the beliefs and
emotions the hopes and fears of his own time
and place. and that Nuremberg was the one
town in al the world TO shelter him and to bring
out his best qualities Those are qualities of
reverence, truth and sturdy strength
The invention Of supremely beautiful pictures
was not his forte He was at his happiest in
the direct statement of religious emotion and
in the art OF portraiture. He was one of the
worlds greatest draughtsnen. and in nothing is
he more brilliant than in a simple Dortrai+

vERANIIDA. A Romance. By George Gizsins
12no pp- Z. 34S e P. DuttOn & Company.
More than once, before and since George Gis-
sings death, We have had occasion 20 dwell
upon what may be called the dual character Of
that gifted writer For years he was known 70
the world at large only as the author OF certain
powerful novels Of London life, as a reaIss
whose art was tinctured with an apparently IN
durable sadness. Then. in the closing years Of
his life. he suddenly gave free play. in print %
tastes which. it appeared. he had always cuI-
tivated with ardOr. He showed himself in

the classic past means nothing Of mere pedza-
try but. the contrary. everything that

Henry Ryecroft.' he deepened the new impres-
sion he had conveyed. of a mind steeped in the
beauty and ideality of pure literature, and nov
his pOsthumOuS novel. ''VeraniIda," still further
justifes his claim to be ranked as one Of the
most finely imaginative men of his time Ths
work. though lacking it's last few chapters IS
not thereby injured in essentials It was car
ried so far toward completion that while We
cannot but deeply regret the absence Of thA.
impressive climax at which the author was OBJ
viously aiming, our pleasure in the book r.
mains sufficiently keen.
''Veranilda' is a story OF Roman life IN ths
sixth century. Its characters are more or hss
entangIed in the conflict between Byzantiun
and the Goth. the affairs of some Of them being
still further complicated by their intensely Per-
sonal attitude toward the Arian hereSy. Re-

indeed, unqualified to compete with the scholars
among his predecessors. The latter, however,
are little known to laymen. AS rule II Is only
the student who has cared to study the pages OF
Thausing, Lppman. Ephrussi. Sir Martin Con-
way and the rest A place has been kept walt
ing, therefore. for just such an essay as MIR.
Moore has written, essay which aims chiefly
at conveying a broad impression of Ddrer's life
and works.
Mr. Moore is poet, and a very graceful,
sensitive poet. We believe he has made, in his
time, wood cuts inspired as to their technique
by the early German engravers; but while we
discern in his study of Diirer signs of artists
peculiar sympathy for the subject, we cannot
help feeling that the value of the book is chiefly
due to the authors poetic instinct. This has
done more than perhaps the closest erudition
could have done to carry him near TO Durer's
secret to make him a convincing interpreter of
one Of the most significant figures in the history
of art Durer is one of those men in whom
the uninstructed might be excused for seeing
nothing more than the perfection of the imita-
tive aptitude. On the surface he seems simply
a great realist, artist born to state the truth
rather than the beauty of nature. 1t may be
admitted that he was not sublime poet in art,
like for example, Michael Angelo. But he ranks
with the italian master for certain qualities
which it takes an expositOr like Mr. Moore to
bring to light. The first fifty pages in this book
may seem a little irrelevant, through being a
little too metaphysical. Mr.. Moore talks at large
about the function of the human reason, about
conscience in aesthetics about 1.-THE influence
of religion on the creative impulse and even
when he comes to closer quarters with his
theme he talks little more freely, around and
around the latter, than seems consistent with
art criticism in the strict sense. But though

he presently discovers that the general drift of
Mr.. Moores remarks is in the right direction.
that it is meant to enforce admirably
thoughtful conception of the master
The author of this book sees in Albert Direr
man whose character a Christian had de-
cided influence upon his character an artist.
A lover of the good things of life. if ever a man
was, his piety was nevertheless. no bloodless af-
fair of conventional observances. Born on the
eve of the Reformation. and growing to man

all the elements of his being. all his dignity

1t is for this reason that We are especially glzt
to see many Of his drawings among the Illus

appearance of the reproductions edited By Pro
fessor Singer. The best approach to Ddrer is u
be made through his drawings. and We vouH
recommend the reader who cares to look into
Mr.. Moore's book to look into Professor Sin

so largely composing the latter are wonderfully
well printed.
