 ''The Cathedrals and Churches of the Rhine" by Francis MiItoun. Published by L. c. Gage & O., Boston. A most welcome publication for thousands is this new book from the author of ''Tbe Cathedrals of Northern France" and "The Cathedrals of Southern France" I" among last years notable books. The present volume in this series is fully up othe beauty of the former ones, and even excels in perfectness of illustra- tions. There are ninety of these illus trations, plans and diagrams by Blanche McManus. The book aims to be an ac- count of the great churches in the Rhine valley and of that species of architectural style which is known as Rheinish. Much of it's value lies in the historical data it contains, so given as to fix firmly much that is worth re- memberfng. The beautiful work is in uniform edition with Mir Miltoun's previous volumes. A map of the Rhine indicates the various churches along its course from Cologne to Leyden. Price $2. For sale by the Edward Malley Co.
 ''The Art of the Venice Academy by Mary Knight Potter, Published by L. c. Page & Co.,, Boston. The above is one of the remarkably beautiful books of the year, and is the fifth of the series dealing with the art galleries of Europe. The book contains brief his tory of the Royal Galleries of Fine Arts in Venice, and of it's collection of paint ings as well as descriptions and criti- cisms of many of the principal pictures and their artists. The book is richly illustrated, the illustrations being prin- cipally, of course, of those pictures with which the readers are better &C., quainted,
 There are eighteen rooms besides the Loggia and two Corridors in which the pictures are collected, having been grouped according to school and date of execution in more recent years. The collection of paintings was begun in this building by certain Venetian gen. tlemen as early as 1870, but when Ma poleon conquered Venice he put here the paintings torn from the fifty churches and other ecclesiastical estab- lishments which he suppressed, which he did not care to send to Paris and that was the real inauguration of the "Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia." The nucleus formed by Napoleon was added to very largely as years went by, both by purchase and by gift till the collection became famous for it's size as we'll as its quality, taking in as it does the work of the old masters-the very old mastetrs, and coming down to later date among modern painters of eminence. Paintings by Italian artists predominate but the French, Dutch, German and even the Flemish schools are illustrated. The book is very inter- esting and instructive and is a thing of beauty" Price $2. For sale at the Edward Malley Co.
 '"The Bible Beautiful" a history of Biblical art by Miss EsteIle M. Hurll, published by l.. c. Page & Co.,, Boston, will be conspicuous among religious gift books this season, for it Is much nor ethan a collection of pictures on Scriptural subjects. The author has studied the subject of Bible printing and publication, and has used her wide knowledge of the art to such a good purpose that no century and no country is left unnoted in her book. An illum- inted title page printed in gold and two colors; some of the great hymns of the church: an outline fo subjects in the "BibIia Pauperum" and selections from the Byzantine Guide to Painting are added to the text, and the work is in- dexed by Artists" by "Places," and by "Bible Subjects" which adds much to it's value.
 The early Christian artists illustrated parts of the Bible, their first ilIustra- i tions showing the relation between the i Old and New Testaments and in the process of time developed a complete pictorial plan which extended from Genesis to Revelation, until the worlds nobiest literature was matched by the 1 worlds noblest painting.
 This book traces tn" development o1 Bible are from it's beginning to the 1 present day.
 The color is of delicate blue with gill and color decorations. Price $2. Fol sale by the Edward Malley Go.
