The little six- penny books were carefully printed, "embellished with cuts" and bound in gaudy Dutch paper. But those small "flowery and gilt" volumes, loved as they were by the children of those days, are a far cry from the superbly illustrated books which the boys and girls of this generation may possess. Publishers now vie with each other in the production of attractive editions for children, and the best modern illustrators do not disdain to expend their wealth of talent upon fairy tale and legend. It seems oftentimes a labor of love for them thus lavishly to adorn the children's favorite tales. Bright colors and simple outline pictures are especially en- joyed by the younger children. If the color is clear and the drawing good, these stimulate the sense of the beautiful and lead to an appreciation of the more complex decorative styles and of subtler harmonies of color. The artistic merit of a book, however, does not consist al- together in the character of the illustrations. The choice of type, the spacing, the margins, the arrangement of title-page, contents and headings, may all contribute to produce the effect of beauty and proportion. Association with well-made books ought to make it possible for children to enjoy these minor pleasures "the deep breath at the beauty of binding, the thrill of the fingers as they press responsive paper, the gladness of the eye in margin and type and uncut edge." (Alice Chadivick.) This list has been made chiefly with the object of providing for grown people a selection of beautiful editions of children's classic and standard stones; but other illustrated books have 311852 been included, among them a few unbound picture-books, which are not catalogued. The latter are indicated by asterisks. No attempt has been made at completeness, and many subjects, such as handicraft, athletics, electricity, inventions, interesting to boys and girls, are not represented. Further suggestions for books for the children's book shelves may be found in a list issued by the Library entitled "Children's books for Christmas gifts." The selection and compilation of this list has been done by Miss Elva Smith of the Childrens Department of the Library. HARRISON W. CRAVER, Librarian.

But the triumph of the art lies in its suggestion of marvel, of magic, in every line. The only criticism ... is that there is too much striving after the grotesque. . .This curious atmosphere of magic, never more bril- liantly suggested than in these delightful drawings, enters especially into the scenes in the story of the King of the Ebony Isles; the Rip van Winkle rocks, the strange gnarled and lightning-riven trees... and the haunted look in the Queen's eyes are marvellously convincing."

The typography is good, but the pictures by N. C. Wyeth are the thing; bold, full of color and action, they catch the real spirit of the narrative and swing along with it; they carry you completely away to .the world of 'schooners, islands and maroons, and buccaneers and buried gold.' Here is Jim Hawkins saying good-by to his mother. Here he is again in the galley with Long John Silver. . .There stands Billy Bones on the cliffs with his brass telescope, and old Dick Pew is there tapping on the street and calling for his com- rades; and Captain Smollett defying the mutineers and running up the colors; and at last the treasure cave!"
