=Italian Art.=

WONDERS OF ITALIAN ART. By LOUIS VIARDOT. With 28 illustrations. One
volume 12mo $1 50

_For specimen illustration see page 23._

As a compact, readable, and instructive manual upon a subject the
exposition of which has heretofore been confined to ambitious and
expensive treatises, this volume has no equal. In style it is clear and

knowledge and sound judgment, and the illustrations reproduce, as

Italian masters, while anecdotes of these great artists and curious
facts regarding their works give popular interest to the volume.

chapter on artistic expression which closes the book. Numerous simple
but attractive engravings elucidate the work.

accessible and popular a form as the nature of the subject admits, a
connected and comprehensive sketch of the chief architectural
achievements of ancient and modern times. Commencing with the rudest
dawnings of architectural science as exemplified in the Celtic
monuments, a carefully compiled and authentic record is given of the
most remarkable temples, pa
