AST. A few works on the philosophy, the 

 history, the applications, and the culture of 

 art, including artist-biographies, have served to 

 show that in a time of financial disaster, and 

 with all the painful economies of such a sea- 

 son, it is not found necessary to sacrifice all 

 the higher to the lower utilities. Of these, 

 original and translated, we note :

 sidered to come properly under this head in

ESSAYS AND CRITICISM. This pamphlet and 

 periodical era is favorable to the cultivation of 

 the essayist's art, or rather would be but for 

 the temptations to haste in writing and prema- 

 ture publication. So many succumb to these 

 temptations that few republications of papers 

 from periodicals have enough of substance or 

 of finish to give them permanent value. But 

 several volumes during the past year are so 

 pleasant reading now that no reason is appar- 

 ent why they should not continue to give like 

 pleasure for an indefinite period. Such a vol- 

 ume is " Hours with Men and Books," by "Wil- 

 liam Mathews, LL. D. (Griggs, Chicago), in 

 which good sense and keen insight are bal- 

 anced by a large and discriminating knowledge 

 of literature. Dr. Mathews has favored the 

 public also with "Monday Chats, by C. A. 

 Sainte-Beuve, selected and translated from the 

 1 Causeries du Lundi,' with an Introductory Es- 

 say on the Life and Writings of Sainte-Beuve 

 (Griggs). "Birds and Poets, with Other Pa- 

 pers," by John Burroughs (Ilurd & Houghton)
