IX. Insect Oddities. X. Vegetable Vagaries. Appendix: The Boomerang.

A delightful volume of Natural History Sketches from West Australia, of interest alike to the general reader and to the scientific enquirer.

A considerable portion of the work deals with Mr. Saville Kent's specialité, Fishes
and Aquatic Zoology, but other branches of Natural History, including both Zoology
and Botany, receive a large share of attention.

Mr. Saville Kent was acting as Commissioner of Fishes to the Government of
Western Australia, and devotes most of his book to the Natural History of that
Colony.

sent his books
All characteristic. The addressee had been "to Rome and back" and was fond of
writing on the early church. Gladstone's last letter is a plain revelation (in four pages)
of his sense of the "unreality of Genesis," but of his unwillingness to go any further on
the road to disbelief.

Aubrey Beardsley is considered by his soundest and best qualified critics to
have produced his greatest and most enduring work previous to, and during, his art
editorship of "The Yellow Book." He stood as one alone in the world of artistic
production, and Mr. Marillier, in his introduction to this volume, has justly stated that
his incomparable genius was for the few; yet one is almost tempted to suggest, at least
to hope, that that "few" is by no means insignificant; or, granting their lack in
numbers, we may affirm with confidence that, included in that following, are some very
noble and keenly critical minds.

Born in 1629, Sir Robert Clayton, who began life without education, had achieved at his death in 1707 a position of wealth and honour, which led to the foundation in his successor's person of a baronetcy that still flourishes. He was accused in his own time of usury and extortion, and of having resorted to unscrupulous measures in opposition to the Tory party, for which he narrowly escaped the block.

Dryden mentioned him thus, in " Absalom and Achitopel" :

"Blest times, when Ishban, he whose occupation

So long has been to cheat, reforms the nation!"

214 THE PURPLE GOSPELS OF ROSSANO, in Greek, a MS. of the sixth century written in silver letters upon purple vellum, and adorned with MINIATURES of singular value and importance. A Treatise on the subject of the Miniatures, roy. 8vo. with 25 photographs; sd. Leipzig, 1899

These Miniatures hold a very important rank as monuments in the history of Art. There is no such other collection in existence to illustrate the relationship between classical and Byzantine Christian Art and the relation of both to the medieval Art of the West. The MS. was probably written in Byzantium in the time of Justinian. The pictures are akin rather to the earlier style of Græco-Roman than to the recognised Byzantine manner, and are suggestive of a new view of the elements which went to produce the Art of the Middle Ages.
