CURRENT LITERATURE.
The Portfolio. April. (Seeley and Co.)—Mr. J. C. Lefroy, in his series of papers on "The Ruined Abbeys of Yorkshire," has reached Fountains, the most interesting and most beautiful of them all. M. Debaine's full-page etching is scarcely such excellent work as we are accustomed to see from his hand. There are two good smaller illus- trations, and Mr. Lefroy's narrative of the foundation makes the best possible use of the limited space at command. Mr. Steele's etching, "Knitting," after a drawing by Mrs. Allingharn, is an admirable rendering of the attractive simplicity of the original. Another notice- able feature of the number is to be found in the reproduction of two of Mr. Dicksee's illustrations of "Evangeline," from Messrs. Cassell's splendid edition of that poem.
