HAND-BOOK OF TASTE;

Or, How to Observe Works of Art, especially Cartoons, Pictures, and Statues. By FABIUS PICTOR. Fcp. 8vo. 3s. boards.

"We have never met with a compendious treatise on art, and the principles which should guide taste in judging of its productions, that contained more excellent matter than this small unpretending volume. It is expressly compiled for the instruction of the public, and with a view to that era in art which the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament, and the present display of the cartoons in Westminster Hall, may be expected to create. It exhibits the opinions of the best artists and critics of all ages. It is not intended to instruct the student in art, though he may profit much by its lessons, but to tell the observer how he may judge of the productions of the fine arts. It is not flattering to set out with saying that England, in the art of design, is not only immeasurably behind Italy, but falls short of what France aspires to, and Germany has accomplished; but this is qualified by the admission that England is, nevertheless, quite capable of efficient progress.

The minute fidelity of her details, the vivid distinctness with which every mental struggle and secret emotion is traced; the moral beauty and womanly purity which steadily illuminate her narrative; and the calm Christian philosophy out of which all its earnest lessons of truth, and justice, and resignation, and serene wisdom, are drawn, must receive implicit admiration on all hands."-EXAMINER.

"The President's Daughters' is every way worthy of the author of The Home' and 'The Neighbours.' It is distinguished by the same life-like and truthful sketches, the same distinctness of individual portraitures, a power of description, whether of character or of scenery, which, without being elaborate, is at once true to nature, and in har mony with the human mind, and a purity of thought and feeling arising not from ignorance of the actual world, but from the supremacy of those better principles which constitute the glory of our nature."-ECLECTIC REVIEW, NOV.

"This tale introduces us into new and fertile ground,-Denmark in the thirteenth century, The characters are all drawn from Danish history: the story itself is full of incident and adventure. The author boldly plunges at once in medias res; and we recollect few novels in which the attention of the reader is more quickly interested, or mo.e completely absorbed. The characters are struck off with a shrewd intelligence, and contrast admirably; and the whole tale is original, lively, and varied in no common degree, reminding us of the chivalric spirit of Scott."
