=Art Journal.=--"At first sight it would seem that material could
never be found to fill even a volume; but the author, in dealing
with his first subject alone, 'The Sunshade,' says he could easily
have filled a dozen volumes of this emblem of sovereignty. The
work is delightfully illustrated in a novel manner by Paul Avril,
the pictures which meander about the work being printed in various
colours."
