plausible that the reader will be surprised into accept
ing this solution Of the repulse of Won Klucks armies

These dainty little volumes are the
hrst three Of series OF pocket man
uals for collectors which Sir James
Ycxall is editing. Their primary pur-
pose probably is to guide collectors
Alright in making purchases, by in
structing them as to what are valuable
objects and what are spurious and
worthless things. This purpose is as
we'll filed as we could expect it to be
IT. so small a compass; and it is done
euthoritatively.
another purpose which is also full
hlled, or at least q service which is
performed. is that of enabling those
who are not collectors to understand
they may see, in the houses Of friends
or in museums. This is no light thing.
