_SPECTATOR._--"Marked by beauty of conception, reticence of treatment, and it has an atmosphere all its own." _DAILY CHRONICLE._--"It is written with singular delicacy and has an old-world fragrance which seems to come from the classics we keep in lavender.... There are few who can approach his delicate execution in the painting of ideal tenderness and fleeting moods." * * * * * Transcriber's Notes. 1.
