 AND BISHOP. 



3fort2*tbfro 1beao /toaster of Wtncbester, 1866-1884. 

 fftrst ffiisbop of Soutbwell, 1884-1004. 



By his Wife, Lady LAURA RIDDING. 

 With Illustrations and a Plan. Demy Svo. 155. net. 



Whilst appealing especially to Wykehamists, this valuable 

 and interesting biography claims the attention of the larger public that 

 enjoys reading about the careers of successful and distinguished 

 people. 



The volume is roughly divided into three sections, the first telling 

 of Dr. Ridding's early days at Winchester and Oxford. After this 

 comes the account of his notable headmastership notable because 

 during it was evolved the Winchester known to most of her sons 

 ^now living. So many buildings were added and so many improve- 

 ments made that Dr. Ridding, the prime mover in it all, came to be 

 known as ' the second founder.' The third section describes the 

 formation of the Diocese of Southwell, and is a remarkable revela- 

 tion of the successful application of exceptional administrative 

 ability. 



PICTORIAL ART IN THE FAR EAST. 



By LAURENCE BINYON. 



With Coloured Frontispiece and numerotis other Illustrations beautifully 

 reproduced in collotype. Crown 4^0. ais. net. 



This important work, which is only rendered possible by the 

 immense additions to our knowedge of Far Eastern art during the 

 last decade, brings out and establishes the high interest of Chinese 

 painting, hitherto practically unknown in Europe, and of the older 

 schools of Japan, the subsidiary schools of India, Persia and Tibet 

 being also glanced at. The author's aim has been to treat his 

 subject not merely from the technical historical side, but as a theme 

 of living and universal interest, with its background of Oriental 

 thought and civilization.
