MISCELLANEOUS. Of books on the fine arts, 

 and illustrated rift-books, there was less than 

 the tunal supply. Not a few of the works 

 enumerated nnder the head of science, travels, 

 etc., are illustrated, some of them very finely. 

 An exquisite book in every particular of book- 

 making is Shakespeare's " Midsummer-Night's 

 Dream," with illustrations by Alfred Freder- 

 icks. The artist was most successful in the 

 work that might have seemed most difficult 

 depleting tht fairy scenes so as to giro visi- 

 ble expression to sentiments so ethereal as no 

 words but Shakespeare's have the magic to 

 suggest. The following list includes a few 

 works on art, on artists, and books artistically 

 ited: 



Painter*. Sculptors. Architects, Engraven, and 

 their Works. A Handbook. By Clara Ersklne 

 Clements. With Illustrations. 



The Breughel Brother*. An Art Romance, trans- 

 lated from the German by G. II. Lodge, A. M., M. D.

 trations by Winelow Homer. 



Diamonds and Precious Stones. By Paul Dicula- 

 fait. 



Grammar of Painting and Engraving. By Charles 

 Blanc. Translated by Kate Newell Doggett. 



In this connection should be named books 

 intended for presentation, in which the orna- 

 mentation consists in perfection of typography 

 and binding. Such are "Heaven in Song; 

 comprising the Best Poems of All Ages on the 

 Better Land," edited by Henry C. Fish, D. D., 

 and " Songs of the Soul, gathered from Many 

 Lands and Ages," by S. Irenseus Prime, D. D. 

 both choice in their contents and elegant in 

 their externals. The sport of angling may be 

 said to be on the border between the fine and 

 the useful arts. "The Fishing Tourist, An- 

 gler's Guide, and Reference Book," by Charles 

 Hallock, is at least written with the enthusi- 

 asm of the artist, combined with the pains- 

 taking exactness of an economist. 



One of those book?, which one counts among 

 literary labor-saving devices, is furnished in 

 "A New Dictionary of Poetic Quotations, cov- 

 ering the Entire Field of British :md Ameri- 

 can Poetry, from the Time of Chaucer to the 

 Present Day, with a Variety of Useful In- 

 dexes," by S. Austin Allibone, L.L. D. A 

 work with information enough to make an ex- 

 cellent manual, were it only well-digested ami 

 arranged, is " Protection against Fire," by 

 Joseph Bird. The titles following represent 

 an immense unclassified variety : 



The Homo : Where it Should Be, and What to Put 

 in It. By F. R. Stockton. 



One Law in Nature. By Captain II. M. Lozcllc,
