Among the many works illustrative of the history of France--literary,
social, and monumental--for which the French are mainly indebted to the
enlightened administration of M. Guizot, when Minister of Public
Instruction, there is not one of greater value than the handsome quarto
published by M. Didron, the learned Secretary of the Comité des Arts et
Monuments, entitled _Iconographie Chrétienne_. Of the importance and
utility of this volume, with its admirable illustrations, every journal
in this country devoted to art or archæology has exhibited repeated
proofs: and of the many wonderfully cheap books which Mr. Bohn has from
time to time produced, there is not one to compare with the Translation
of this interesting volume, which he has just put forth under the title
of _Christian Iconography; or the History of Christian Art in the Middle
Ages. In Two Volumes. Vol. I comprising the History of the Nimbus, the
Aureole, and the Glory, the History of God the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost_. This first volume contains not only nearly the whole of M.
Didron's quarto; but also between 100 and 150 wood-cuts from the
original blocks. The subject is one almost new to the English public;
and the book therefore will be found of great interest to the general
reader, and of especial interest to the artist, the ecclesiologist, the
Antiquary, and the student of Church History.
