Of all our writers upon sacred art, there is none in whose hands the subject acquires so deep an interest, or is treated withsuch prolound knowledge, such genial yet acute criticism, such deep sympathy for the poetic, and such high reverence forthe sacred, as we find in the woiks of Mrs. Jameson . A noble style, dignified yt.t natural, simple yet impressive, at oncecaptivates the reader; while the utter absence of pedantry, even in the fulness of the authoresss knowledge of obscure

subjects adds not its least graceful characteristic to this book.Mrs. Jameson s very scholarly and artist like volume is

one which every art-library must possess ; and of the high qualities and merits of which,even the faint and meagresketchwhich we have drawn can hardly, we hope, fail to afford some indication. Morning Chronicle.
