The reason was, however, sufficiently evident; the extreme difficulty of the task and the rarity of the peculiar qualifications requisite for the successful reproduction in English of so subtle and characteristic a work. Mr. John Payne, who is acknowledged to be without a rival in the art of translation and who was for some years engaged upon the undertaking, has in this work completed a metrical version of the collected poems (or Divan) of the Shirazi master.

This house, known as Juniper Hall, stands behind its spreading cedars between the village of Mickleham and Burford Bridge. Within its sculptured drawing-room, a little more than a hundred years ago, a flow of brilliant talk resounded. There Madame de Staël poured forth her eloquence, and Talleyrand uttered his cynical jests; and there were heard the voices of Narbonne, of Matthieu de Montmorenci, of Jaucourt, of Lally-Tallendal, of Malouet, of the Princesse d'Henin, of Madame de Broglie, of Madame de la Châtre, of Girardin, of Madame de Beaumont, and of General d'Arblay. bes (T.).

We have to add that the illustrations which fill one volume, and the woodcuts which are intercalated with the text, are perfectly satisfactory, and that the work is thoroughly exhaustive of the subject."

These quotations are in English, Latin, French, Portuguese, etc. All those who have studied the pages of Hobson-Jobson have agreed in classing it as unique among similar works of reference, a volume which combines interest and amusement with instruction, in a manner which few other dictionaries, if any, have done.

Ever since it was first issued in 1889, the Kokka has been welcomed by connoisseurs and all students of Eastern Art as an indispensable guide and work of reference. The Kokka is a veritable gallery of photographs of choice relics, for whatever is most captivating and appraised among the treasures of Oriental Art, in the collections of distinguished families and temples, and otherwise sealed to the public, enriches the pages of this journal. As to the intrinsic worth of the Kokka no better testimonial can be given than the fact that it was awarded a medal for specific merit at the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago, U.S.A., 1894, and a Grand Prix at the Paris Exhibition in 1900.

The collection of armour and arms, remarkable for its extent and conspicuous amongst the rare treasures of the royal residence at Windsor, will be for the first time revealed. It is comprehensive in its range, and has been gathered together in earlier times from widely various sources by previous occupants of the throne, but most notably and largely by the Prince Consort, who was always in advance of his time in the higher appreciation of art, and who himself aided in the arrangement of the collection as it then existed. The examples were collected for their beauty of design, and many of them show the best work by the historic masters of the armourer's art. Much is fully shown in this collection that even in the finest arsenals of Europe is hardly represented. The series of court or "small" swords of the 18th century is, as an instance, in a national collection unparalleled. The collection of fire-arms is a very representative one, and many specimens are superb in their enrichments, while much of the armour and arms of an earlier date is matchless in quality and unrivalled in its historical associations. mb (C.).
