This, the fourth of the English Editions of "Les Origines," has been thoroughly revised by the author, who has incorporated into it the results of recent research in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and submitted at the same time the theories founded on these results to a searching criticism. This Work and the two succeeding volumes, it may be safely said, are the most important contributions which have ever appeared on the early history of Egypt and Mesopotamia. THE HOLY GOSPELS. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE OLD MASTERS OF THE XIVth, XVth, AND XVIth CENTURIES. More than three hundred works, dealing exclusively with the events of our Lord's life, have been chosen from among the greatest examples of the Italian, German, Flemish, and French schools for the subject of these Illustrations. These Pictures, distributed as they are amongst the Churches and Galleries of the civilized world, are here for the first time collected together and presented in proximity to the Sacred Narrative which they were intended to illustrate. Notes dealing with the Pictures from the artistic standpoint are contributed by M. EUGENE MUNTZ, Member of the French Institute. The publication includes also a Chronological and Biographical Table of the Painters whose works are reproduced and a Classified List of the Engravings. The Work contains 384 pages and over 350 Illustrations, 48 of these being separate Plates printed in two tints.

The stock is quickly approaching exhaustion, and these pictures, when out of print, are sure to increase in value. With but few exceptions, these pictures deal with religious subjects.

HEAL & SON'S Speciality for Curtain Blinds "CASEMENT FLAX" The want of a material which would drape well in the short length demanded by the casement curtain, and which at the same time was not expensive, has led us to the production of CASEMENT FLAX, which, although pure linen, is not harsh, but always hangs in soft folds; it wears well and washes well, only those dyes have been used which have stood the severe test of strong sunlight. It will be found that casement flax i. Hangs in graceful folds ii. Wears well and keeps its colour iii. Is very inexpensive 36 INCHES WIDE. PRICES FROM 1/3 TO 2/9 PER YARD.
