novelist a store of hitherto unsuspected material the

general clearness and lucidity with which Mr. Miller has treated a subject of exceptional difficulty cannot be too highly commended." Morning Post.

In this book Mr. Havell gives the results of many years' study of Indian Fine Art, for which he has had exceptional opportunities as Principal of the Government School of Art, and Keeper of the Art Gallery in Calcutta.

" No doubt there are, and will be, many more words to be said about the early history of Venice, for it seems as if the subject were inexhaustible ; but when one closes these volumes of Signor Molmenti's it is difficult to believe that anything has been left out. Every page in the book is full of curious knowledge, communicated without the slightest affectation or air of teaching The erudition is as amazing as ever The work is a continuous and fascinating narrative, a series of brilliant pictures which show no trace of studio's toil. It would be impertinent to praise Mr. Horatio Brown's translation. Suffice it to say that he has turned good Italian into graceful English." Spectator.
