_KNAPP, ARTHUR MAY._
FEUDAL AND MODERN JAPAN, by Arthur May Knapp. 2 vols., with
24 photogravure illustrations of Japanese life, landscape and
architecture. Small fcap. 8vo, ¼-bound, white cloth, blue sides,
gilt top. 8s. net.
The work of one who has frequently visited, and for a long time resided
in Japan, thus enjoying peculiar advantages for observation and comment.
The scope of the book includes a study of the history, religion,
language, art, life, and habits of the Japanese.
Though written in a thoroughly appreciative spirit, it avoids the
indiscriminating praise which has characterised so many works on
Japan; and while covering ground which has become somewhat familiar,
it presents many fresh points of view, and furnishes much information
heretofore inaccessible to the ordinary reader.
_ROSSETTI, DANTE GABRIEL._
THE BLESSED DAMOZEL, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. With an Introduction
by Wm. Michael Rossetti, a reproduction in Photogravure of D.
G. Rossetti’s crayon study for the head of the Blessed Damozel,
and decorative designs and cover by W. B. Macdougall. Fcap. 4to,
1/4-bound, art vellum, gilt top. 5s. net. (_See Special Prospectus._)
The poem given here is as it originally appeared in _The Germ_, and
consequently the version is one hitherto practically inaccessible.
Mr W. M. Rossetti’s Introduction deals fully with the history of its
composition and the changes through which it subsequently went.
_Illustrated London News._—“A fine bit of decorative art and an
excellent sample of modern format. The frontispiece is very beautiful.
Mr Macdougall’s designs are rich.”
_The Sketch._—“It is really beautifully illustrated. The book is a
veritable art treasure.”
_Speaker._—“This artistic and singularly interesting volume.”
_Birmingham Gazette._—“Every page contains a broad framework of
beautiful design, in which the artist manifests his power in glorious
sweeping lines and delicate tracery. A treasure to be appreciated. The
noble poem is nobly decked out in every respect.”
_Manchester Courier._—“The decorative designs are at once original,
harmonious and beautiful. A work which will be welcomed alike for its
high literary value, and for the high artistic standard to which it
attains.”
