Renaissance CAiacmiIlans). The dif1-
culties In getting his materials have been
great. and perhaps even greater has been
the task Of presenting them In intelligible
shape.
The first part contains a chronological
account according to Popes' reisns Of
all monuments Of which there is any rec
ord. Like all chronicles II 10 rather dry
at times. but In no other way could the
author have arranged his material 30 a.
to be understood. particularly when for
every monument the results Of modern
investigation had to be taken into con-
sideration. The first part is the backbone
OF the work. the portion to which the stu
dent must refer. Greater clearness might
be attained In future editions II some
mechanical device like the use Of italics
we're employed 10 distinguish between
monuments which have wholly disaP-
peared and those which survive, entire
or in part. There is picturesque history
enough in this part to hold the readers
interest for into it come the great Popee
from Sylvester to the hvignon exile; the
fights against barbarians. the imperlai
power and the medieval clans Of Rome.
In the second part Prof. rockingham
has better opportunity to entertain; ne
takes up the monuments by classes-the
basilicas. the campanili. the civil and mill
tary buildings. the sculpture and the
painting. In this form the information
already supplied in the first part becomes
more comprehensive and entertaining.
and il Is helped out by the admirable de-
scriptive index Of churches at the end
Here also will be found the one defect in
the book. ..
The subject OF painting seems to have
interested Prof. rockingham particu-
larly. 1t certainly is important, and 1t Is
very likely that his views and theories may
be correct. But the matter is still oontro-
versial, and admitting everything that the
author claims the space devoted to paint
ing, 100 out Of 400 pages OF the volume, Is
wholly out OF proportion to its deserts
II Prof rockingham wishes to establish
the place Of Roman painting In the his
tory Of art he should do 1t in a separate
monograph. not in a compact handbook
Of antiquities such as this Is. 1t is to be re-
gretted too, since he gives 90 much space
to the subject, that he should have held so
strictly to his time limits as to leave out
the paintings in the catacombs. Paint
ing in later editions should be cut down
to its just proportions in comparison with
architecture and sculpture.
With this exception Prof. Frothinghsm's
work has been done admirably. II Is
concise compendium OF modern knovl-
edge about matters that are extremely
confused in every way. in history, In art
theories, in attributions. The informa-
ton is put so clearly that laymen can fol-
low inteligently discussions that may
arise. and the wanderer in Rome will have
guide that will not fail him in his search
for the medieval monuments. The pict-
ures are numerous and very good; great
pains has been taken to make them illus
trative and to place each in the exact
place where it will do most good. The
book is an additional proof that in arche-
ology at any rate American scholars hold
their place in the front rank.

Sunset and Sunrise. 4.

Among the many things that people
accept as a matter of course Is the assump-
ton that the exact minute OF sunrise
or OF sunset can be found by turning to
the almanac or some similar book The
fact. however. ia that except for certain
fixed points the almanacs give no informa-
