SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & CO.'S NEW ART WORKS-continued.

To one interested in horse-racing, no more magnificent or acceptable present could be made than "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses."'-TRUTH.

Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses of the Past

AND THE PRESENT CENTURIES. In strictly Chronological Order, commencing in 1702, and ending in 1870, together with their respective Pedigrees and Performances recorded in full. By T. H. TAUNTON, formerly of Oriel College, Oxford. These Volumes, handsomely bound, contain the Portraits of about 430 Horses, together with those of some of the most celebrated Jockeys of the period. The letterpress is in large and elegant type. In 4 vols., crown 4to. £6. 6s.

The four handsome volumes are such as every owner, breeder, trainer, rider, and lover of the racehorse, whether in this country or in any other, will desire to possess, if only a glimpse of them be obtained, or the faintest idea of what they are like be presented to the fancy. Nor must it be imagined for a moment that the interest of the book is confined to the adherents of the turf, that curious and not very reputable institution at which so many good people look askance, or to persons who are more or less intimately acquainted with horse-racing and its history for the volumes are by no means without value from many other points of view, especially the antiquarian and artistic.'-ATHENÆUM, Sept. 22.

No racing man can look at the quaint old pictures in this book without amusement.. . Mr. Taunton's book will be found both entertaining and interesting by all racing men worthy of the name, especially owners and breeders. Is certain to be popular, and it would make an admirable Christmas present.'-SATURDAY REVIEW.

A book, the first of a series which will extend to four handsomely bound and charmingly illustrated volumes, has just been published by Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington, and judging from perusal, cannot fail to take the highest rank in the literature of the Turf. Indeed, it may at once be prophesied that amongst the best recognised racing men it will become in great demand and highly prized.'-SPORTING LIFE.

The Native Flowers of New Zealand. Illustrated

in Colours, in the best style of Modern Chromo-Litho Art, from Drawings Coloured to Nature. By Mrs. CHARLES HETLEY. The Work is in Three large quarto Parts (imp. 4to.). Each Part contains Twelve Chromo-Lithographic Plates, in facsimile of the original Drawings, with Descriptive Text. Price, in 3 Parts, three guineas (£3. 3s.); in cloth gilt, handsomely bound in bevelled boards, £3. 138. 6d.

* Lovers of flowers will be delighted with this charming portfolio of admirably executed and coloured illustrations of the flowers of New Zealand. They are really works of art, and will win a place upon the drawing-room table of many besides those addicted to the collection of books on floral subjects.'-STANDARD.

All flower-lovers will find much to interest them in studies of blossom and leaf, frond and foliage, from beyond the sea.'-DAILY TELEGRAPH.

A remarkably handsome work. . . . The plates are perfect facsimiles of accurate and beautiful water-colour drawings. The delineations are absolutely lifelike and perfect, and do not seem capable of improvement. To lovers of rare and choice flowers and to botanists the selection will be a source of enduring gratification.'-QUEEN.

Whether as regards works of art, or as specimens of the flora of New Zealand, it would be difficult to commend these graceful and artistic studies too highly.'-MORNING POST.

Judging from the sample before us, the publication will be very serviceable, for while the book is pretty enough for the drawing-room table, it has the more solid qualities of botanical accuracy and artistic design. Rarely indeed have we seen plants rendered with greater truth to Nature.'-GARDENER'S CHRONICLE.

....

'Captain Abney may be cordially congratulated on having succeeded in a by no means easy task. . . . . The portraits, as a rule, are both excellent as likenesses and admirable as photographs.'-ATHENÆUM.

'Mr. Cunningham has done well . . . . . in bringing together a series of lives of the great guides of the Alps, written as far as possible each by the amateur in whose company the guide most frequently worked. The time is propitious for the appearance of such a work. . . . The volume in question would be but half noticed if one omitted to mention the remarkably fine series of portraits and other illustrations with which it is embellished.'-ACADEMY.

Artistic Japan: an Illustrated Journal of Arts

and Industries. VOL. I., conducted by S. BING. Besides illustrated text, the Volume contains 60 royal quarto Coloured Plates, being reproductions of Work by the best Japanese Artists. Cloth, price 15s.

The Text is written by several of the best English Authorities on Japanese Art, including Dr. WILLIAM ANDERSON, Mr. HUISH, Editor of the ART JOURNAL, &c. Parts I. to VI., issued in most attractive Coloured Wrappers, price 28. each, can still be obtained.

'The new magazine is a sumptuous folio, and the greater part of the contents consists of loose plates, very beautiful and carefully executed specimens of colour printing, representing various examples of the decorative art of a nation of inborn decorators. The letterpress, which is contributed by Mr. S. Bing, Mr. Marcus Huish, and other competent authorities, is at once descriptive and expository, and the new venture, for which we hope all success, will be not merely a storehouse of beautiful things, but an instructive guide to the noble art product with which it deals.' MANCHESTER EXAMINER.

'The plates are good and useful, the blocks in the text are commendable, and the price is reasonable.'-QUEEN.

by Sir JOHN GILBERT, R.A. 4to. elegant fancy boards, 5s. 16 Coloured Plates and numerous Text Illustrations.

'A charming gift book for the season.'-GLASGOW HERALD.

[ocr errors]

This charming little Volume is a careful reproduction in miniature of Sir John Gilbert's beautiful Illustrations to the Songs and Sonnets,' which Volume was published by SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & Co. in 1862-in a large Imperial Volume-a work which is now very scarce, and has always been regarded as one of the highest achievements of Chromo-Lithography. The book has been again undertaken by the same Lithographers (Vincent Brooks & Co.), and the result of their work in this reduced form will certainly bear favourable comparison with its predecessor.

A handsome quarto of very beautiful designs in colour. The drawings are generally faithful and spirited; are admirably reproduced.'-SATURDAY REVIEW. 'Mr. Sharpe's knowledge of the form and colour of birds is well shown in this beautiful work. The size of the plates, quarto, ensures a life-size reproduction of the living subject, and their colour, at any rate, does justice for truth. The selection is certainly good, and the general resemblance of plates to birds admirable. It is a fine edition, and its size and finish should make it a delightful present to bird lovers.'-SPECTATOR.
