The rest Is pr. Grif- ils' contribution, Apart from tho ed- itorial work of abridgment, correc- tlons of clerical and other errors of detail, this consists of the graphic in troduction and biographical notes, " which appeared in the first edition, and Part VII" In it's present form. then, this volume Is greatly enhanced in value, and will doubtless secure q renewal of the favor 1t received on It's first appearance a decade ago. A spe. cial new feature of course, is to be found in a chapter containing an ac- count of the reign of Wilhelmna and also of her inauguration, of which the present editor Dr. William Eliot Griiiis, a member of the Netherlandish Societies of Literature, Science. and Archaeology at Leydcn and Middle burg, was an eye witness. Dr. Grinis work is very popular with. and very | favorably known to, Dutch scholar ship. In the history of the last ten years Dr. Grinls finds his reason for changing the name of his abridg- ment from "The Students Motley to The Dutch Nation He says in the preface for the new cdition

 Moyne; published by Doubleday, Page
 & Co, New York, with 800 superb
 photographs by theauthor. s7.5O, or
 $S.25 postpaid.
 A magnificent work and a valuable as well as luxurious book lt Is by a well-known landscape architect, and is the first volume to describe in chronological order the origin and de- velopment of the most interesting country places in Europe and Amer lea. Complete ground plans, practi- cally impossible to obtain elsewhere, are given of each of the forty six places included, and the five thousand photographs given make q collection of elegant pictures of the kind no- where else obtainahe. Tho enterprise displayed by the publishers of this splendid work should receive rich re- ward The book is the outcome of the authors extensive travels in Eu- rope and America. covering period of nearly three years,
 MT LeMoyne, himself an expert architect and landscape gardener. col lected the material originally for hig own professional use, having found il practically impossible to obtain in any published works tho ground plans of representative country residences. AL though most of the places had been illustrated to present the house itself and the grounds Immediately about it, and occasionally the gardens. yet, strangely enough, the plan of the place as whole. showing the en- trance. the terraces, the courts. the kitchen gardens the greenhouses. the stables the tennis courts, the foun- tains, sun dials. etc. all of which are so important especially in the old English places, were almost unobtain- able. So MT LeMoyne set to work making plans of his own, and these plans drawn in profile, are the ones reproduced for the first time under cover of a book.
 There are forty-siX places included in MT LeMoyne's Country Residences in Europe and America" A short history of the house is added in each case The author shows in how inter- esting a manner our modern places are the development and outgrowth of the classic work and to how great an extent we are indebted to the pre- ceding ages for many of the most de- lightful and useful features we make use of to-day It Is the first volume to adopt this distinct historical se- quence; beginning with the Italian villas, the author shows the gradual development to the French chateaux. the English country places and finally the American estates
 The volume is of large quarto size, with 475 pages, and contains forty drawings besides the 800 photo- graphs--all the authors own work.
