"The study of ancient Persian art has been followed up by French
archæologists with a great deal of zeal and intelligence; the result of
their work is well presented here. Mr. Chipiez has furnished most
suggestive plates of proposed restoration and the views of existing
monuments in their present condition are admirable. Each of the
other chapters contains much of special interest, the wonderful Lycian
monuments being, perhaps, those which will appeal to the greatest
number of readers." Russell Sturgis.

by Mr. Chipiez. The almost unknown antiquities of Sardinia, and the
mysterious and disputed work of the people who are called Hittites

"Although devoted to the criticism of recent French fine art, the
general principles which govern all fine art are so clearly expressed,
so strongly and consistently urged that this book in itself may do
much to explain what a work of art is in the mind of its creator, and
also how his fellow-artists look at it." Russell Sturgis.

"It is the work of a man not gifted with much insight into fine art con-
ditions. The large number of reproductions from Japanese picture-
books, and the attempted explanation of their meaning is, however, an
aid to students of the subject if they have not more authoritative works
at hand; it is interesting to see how Europe and the United States
philosophized over the new and not well understood fine art when it
first came to their notice." Russell Sturgis.
