principles of Greek Art"

THE Principles of Greek Art" by
Percy Gardner, Ltd. Lincoln and
Merton professor of classical archaic
ology in the University of oxford, is
reworking on a larger scale of the
authors Grammar of Greek Art"
published in 1905. 1t is an attempt
to make clear the artistic and psy-
Geological principles incorporated in
Greek art, especially in sculpture,
which is treated as a characteristic
product of the Greek spirit, a parallel
to Greek literature and religion. DIR.
Gardner writes as one who feels
keenly the debt which modern civili-
cation owes to Greece and the great
dangers of a lapse to a lower plane
of civilization If Greek studies fall
out of the educational curriculum.
The book not only sets forth prin-
ciples, but contains chapters dealing
with all the more important phases
and products of Greek art, made
clearer by the use of more than one
hundred carefully chosen illustra-
lions. While there are many hand
books to Greek archaeology, it is be-
lieved that none of them Is written
on these lines. The book Is published
by the Macmillans.

Meanwhile Danny had gathered up
the letter on the floor OF the main

Deane had sought to inculcate.

kept the shop. The latter seemed
to be person of culture and under

tourist asked what book she would
recommend as suitable for reading
during his stay.
The shopkeeper seemed pleased at
the request and said il had been her
custom for some years to recommend
l.ongfellow's Hyperion 10 American
travellers on account of it's beauti-
full description of the Alps and the
Rhine.
She then told the following story:
Some years ago there came into
my shop an American, an elderly
man with long white hair and won
derful dark eyes; with him was a
beautiful young girl with the same
wonderful dark eyes. The tourist
asked me the same question that
