All who care for art have a kindly feeling for

Messrs. Christie, whose famous auction rooms in King Street, St. James's, are, during the season, continually filled with fine things which one may examine at one's leisure. The firm has now placed collectors and students under a new obligation by publishing in a substantial and superbly illustrated quarto a record of Christie's Season 1928 (Constable and Co.). It is arranged in six sections-pictures, jewels, silver, furniture, and so on-to each of which Mr. A. C. R. Carter, the omniscient and entertaining chronicler of the saleroom, contributes an admirable introduction.
