CURRENT LITERATURE.
The Portfolio for June. (Seeley and Co.)—Tho Portfolio is itself again this month. We have, in the first place, a very remarkable etching—another of the "National Gallery" series—of the portrait of Andrea del Sart°, by himself. The etching is by M. Mongin, the notes, as usual by Mr. Wornum. Mr. Comyns Carr's papers on St. Albans are
continued, but instead of Mr. George we have as etcher Mr. Kent Thomas, who contributes a really brilliant drawing. Those who re- member the etching of "Meditation," in the January number, will welcome another by M. Lurat ; and none the less, that he chooses a singularly different subject, " Boat-Horses " (after Decamps), from the celebrated picture in the Louvre. The editor's articles on Turner, though refined and interesting, as they could hardly fail to be, strike us as somewhat prolix and perfunctory. Altogether, a very charming and companionable number.
