In the English Illustrated Magazine this month, Art is well

repre- sented by a vigorous reproduction of Cranach's portrait of Luther ; and by an interesting account, from the pen of Mr. Walter Arm- strong, of "Some Forgotten Etchers." Two examples of the work of George Cilia, both treating subjects in Chester, specimens of the work of more famous men—John Crome, Constable, and Sir David

Wilkie—and two after Andrew Geddes, an etcher whose merits Mr. Armstrong. vindicates, supply the illustrations. "The New Hero," speaking of the praises of childhood, how they have been celebrated both in prose and verse, is the most noticeable contribution to the literature of the magazine.
