" Pictures of Rnghsh Society BY GEORGE DU MAURIER. FROM ''PUNCH.'' ##% NEW rORK: D, Jppleton & Co., 1,3, 5 Bond Street. 1884. George du Maurier. /^-^EORGE DUMA URIER, as ive learn from \T an article in The Century Magazine of May last, written by Mr. Henry James, zvas born in England, of a French father and an English mother. He was taken to France in his early years, and educated there ; later he rettirncd to England, luJiere he has since resided. He gave no early evidence of the remarkable talent which has made him lu or Id famous, and zvas educated for a chemist. He had no inclination for this science, although he came to Jiave a laboratory of his ozvn ; but a passion for art had noiv become aivakencd, and his laboratory zvas converted into a studio. He studied art at Paris ami at Diisseldorf, but suddenly, zcithout zvarning, a great calamity be- fell him. His eye-sight became so seriously affected that lie zvas obliged for a time to abandon all zuork. aa^^^y^ George (hi Maurier, ''He was condeinned'' says Mr, James, ''to many dark days, at the end of z^'hieJi lie /earfied that he should Jiave to do his icork for the rest of his life ivitJi less than half a mans portion of the sense most valuable to the art is t^ But for this mis- fortune the U'orld li'ould probably be admiring Du Maurier as a painter of genre subfeets rather than simply as a draugJitsmaii in blaek and white. TJie earliest sketeJi, aeeording to Mr. James, eontributed by Du Maurier to " PuncJi,'' appeared in the number for Dee ember 5, 1863, noiv just twenty years ago. John Leeeh died in October, 1864, and soon thereafter the hand of Du Mau- rier beeame frequently apparent on the pages of that eomie journal. " The finish and delieacy, the real eleganee of these early draivings^' says Mr. James, " are extreme ; the hand was already the hand of a brilliant executant.'' The larger part of Du Maurier s work has been done for " Punch, '' but he has designed many illustrations for books. He has been a regular contributor to the " Corn- hill,'' his first zuork for that magazine being a George du Maurier. series of designs for Mrs. GaskelVs " Wives and DaiigJitersy In 1868 he made a number of draw- ings for a neiv edition of Thackeray s ''Esmond,'' ivJiieJi are considered among the most eJiarming of his book illustrations. It is certainly remarkable that ''Punch'' should have been so fortunate as to find as a successor to the inimitable John Leech an artist no less admi- rable and inimitable. It is not too much to say that the principal attraction of "Punch " for many readers has been the exquisite social satires from the pencil of Du Maurier. There is nothing com- parable ivith them elseivhere. Du Maurier s fine- ness of perception, to quote from Mr. James, his remarkable power of specifying types, his taste, his grace, his lightness, and an indescribable refine- ment in his art. are due possibly to a Gallic element in his nature, but they are essentially EnglisJi in spirit and tJiougJit. English life and cJiaracter have 7iever been more faithfully depicted, never presented zvith keener insight into peculiarities of types either by English novelists or artists ; and George du Maurier. tJiis striking fact gives to Dit Maurier s draivings a peruiaiient cJiariii zu/iol/y independent of their hnmoroiis or satirical element. He gives ns most delightful young ivomen, and sketches of young EnglisJimen that are as accurate as photographs ; and his portraits of all the various social grades are zvonderfully to the life. '' The pretty poi^its of cJiildren!' quoting again from Mr. James, ^^ are intimately knozvn to him ; he understands, more- over, the infant wardrobe as ivell as the infant mind. His little boys and girls are ' turned out ' ivith a completeness which has made the despair of many an American mother.'" As Pictures of Eiiglish Society, therefore, his drazuings are a lasting study. They reveal the current ''craze'' ; they shoiv the tendencies of social refinement ; they indicate social usage ; they opcji to the foreigner the English drawing-room, the English nursery, the English playground ; they sJioiv us the amuse- ments, the ambitions, the aptitudes, and many of the virtues as well as the foibles of that remark- able people.

D on't : A Manual of Mistakes and Im- proprieties more or less preva- lent in Conduct and Speech, By CENSOR. Revised, and with a new chapter addressed expressly to women. " In a condensed form, this httle volume gives a great variety of useful hints upon the behavior appropriate at the table, in the draw- ing-room, in public, in speech, in dress, and in general. There are many persons of good instinct and intention who, for want of in- struction in these matters, are continually making mistakes. This work has been prepared by some one who has a keen eye and ear ; he appears anonymously, but his instincts are unerring. The things he forbids under ' Don't ' are such as are offensive to the well-bred, and he will have hearty thanks for putting his commands so artfully before the reader." — School Journal. " Finally, we would add on our own account, ' Don't fail to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest this little book, if you would like to remind yourself of some of the things which denote the true spirit of good breeding.'

" Many a woman whose childhood was bright with promise endures an after-life of misery because, through a false delicacy, she remained ignorant of her physical nature and requirements, although on all other subjects she may be well-informed ; and so at length she goes to her grave mourning the hard fate that has made existence a burden, and perhaps wondering to what end she was born, when a little knowledge at the proper time would have shown her how to easily avoid those evils that have made her life a wretched failure."— /^'w;/ Introduction. " A very useful book for parents who have daughters is ' Hy- giene for Girls,' by Irenseus P. Davis, M. D., published by D. Appleton & Co. And it is just the book for an intelligent, well- instructed girl to read with care. It is not a text-book, nor does it bristle with technical terms. But it tells in simple language just what girls should do and not to do to preserve the health and strength, to realize the joys, and prepare for the duties of a woman's lot. It is written with a delicacy, too, which a mother could hardly surpass in talking with her daughter." — Christian at Work. New York : D.
