A HUNDRED FAMOUS BOOKS
Treasures of the Collector s
World on Exhibition.

"A Hundred Famous Books"-this
title, so much better than the Hun
dred Best Books" which once had
its day and then died out in storm OF
derision-appears upon the handsomely
printed catalogue of an exhibition of
first editions just opened at the estab-
lishment OF Charles Scribners Sons.
The collection is one calculated first to
make the bibliophlles mouth water and
then to drive him to despair Only
Mecenas could buy all these treas
ures! The latter are well divided. how
ever, into books for the bibliophilic
giant and books for the more modest
enthusiast. There are portentous
items, like the ST. Thomas Aquinas,
printed at Cologne. in l470, and there
are more intimately beguling items

of time never leads further than the

they meet the Dauphin OF France, and
the two Princes of the Temple whom
Richard slew, and the little martyrs OF
the Children's Crusade. The mummi-
fed prehistoric bird which is the play

comes TO life and warns them that il Is

THE BEST PORTRAIT OF MAX

There is a cult in this country as well
as in England for that original and
clever critic, caricaturist and parodist,
Mr.. Max Beerbohm, and accordingly
we dare say that there are collectors
here who would like To know where to
procure his best portrait. They will
find it, charmingly reproduced in
colors. in Mr.. Frank Gibson's Charles
Conder," just published by the John
Lane Company. The witty young
dandy is shown seated in theatre
box, Immediately attired," wearing,
in fact, linen which about the throat
suggests a man of fashion in the early
Victorian era. We do not know how
faithful a likeness it Is, though Mr..
Gibson says that the face is well char
acterized"; but the main point is that
this portrait by Gender makes Max
look exactly as, from his writings and
drawings, one would want Max" to
look.
