Notes on Pictures in the Royal Gallery at Venice. By

C. L. East- lake. (W. H. Allen.)—Mr. Eastlake gives a description and criti- cism on some two hundred of the pictures contained in the Gallery at Venice. He has put these notes in the alphabetical order of the painters' names. We cannct have a better guide in such a matter than Mr. Eastlake. The form of the book is a little cum- brous. All volumes intended for the purpose of a guide-book should have, we think, a strung flexible cover.
