The oldest of them are assigned to about 200 B.C.; the most modern cannot be placed before the year 600 A.D."-Hunter's Imp. Gazetteer of India, pp. 113-116. These are two noble volumes, the colour printed plates of the Ajanta Pictures on the Walls and Ceilings of the Caves being reproduced with marvellous accuracy; careful descriptions are added with copious illustrations for the use of scholars. Messrs. W. F. Sinclair, J. Lockwood Kipling, J. M. Campbell, and Dr. Burgess have given valuable help in the preparation of the volumes. 275 GRUNER'S GREEN VAULTS of Dresden: Das Grüne Gewölbe, folio, portrait and 28 coloured Illustrations of the choicest works in that Museum of Art, with English text, lds. 276 1862 another edition, folio, with portrait and the same coloured plates, English text, hf. bd. morocco 1876 Particularly rich in Ivories and rare old Glass. 277 HAMERTON (P.

The later copies contain some plans and views of Houghton Hall, which are not included in this EARLIEST issue, but being merely architectural, they are of little importance. 283 HOUGHTON GALLERY. 2 vols., atlas folio, a copy (containing the 28 plans and view of Houghton Hall) of the ORIGINAL ISSUE, the majority of the plates with the full margins, the others mounted; old russia extra 1788 35 00 284 HOUGHTON GALLERY. 2 vols. in 1, atlas folio, half red morocco, uncut; or in 2 vols., red morocco extra, gilt edges 1788 30 00 In consequence of the freshness of the coppers, caused by the under-printing of the original issue, the superb mezzotints which have long been esteemed as being the very finest of their kind, have not deteriorated to any appreciable extent in this later issue. The reprehensible practice indulged in by certain dealers of breaking up copies for the sake of the separate prints, tends to make the complete work more and more valuable. 285 JAMIESON (Mrs.) SACRED and LEGENDARY ART. 2 vols.

By Henry Röhler, Hanover; No. 1 1899 This Work, of which the first number only is published, is one of the most charming on Architecture and Art yet placed before the public. The volume is being issued in six parts, each containing two large exquisitely coloured chromolithographs, executed in the finest style of workmanship, representing, when complete, twelve masterpieces of Italy; and, judging from the specimen number, each plate is, from a financial point of view, worth more than the subscription. The letterpress is in English, German, French and Italian, and printed on India proof paper-in fact, the printing, paper, colouring, and artistic finish of the whole work is as near perfection as possible. 323 Pompei.
