Any sizes can be made to order. SAMPLES will be sent on receipt of Postage. THIS principle of this invention is the deflecting of the wire holding the picture from the straight line as it passes over the hook, as shown in the sketch, thus giving it catch which prevents it slipping from side to side if the picture is moved by accident, say, in dusting. Once fixed, the wire cannot shift, and the picture is kept in a vertical position.

THE STORY OF MODERN ENGLISH ART. In Two Handsome Volumes, large 4to Illustrated with 97 Photogravure Plates and about 90 Half-tone Illustrations, in linen gilt binding designed by Sir J. D. LINTON, R.I., price TEN GUINEAS net. (The Edition for sale strictly limited to 500 Numbered Copies.) JAMES ORROCK: Painter, Connoisseur, Collector By BYRON WEBBER. IN their abundant harvest of exquisite DRAWINGS, PICTURES, and OBJECTS OF ART, these volumes may be considered unique. "THE LIFE OF JAMES ORROCK" is at once a distinctly separate and a richly beautiful work. The history, with its multiform biographical features, and its abundant anecdote, has peculiar attractions for the general reader; the artist, professional as well as amateur, will find in the pages supplied directly by Mr. ORROCK important technical information soundly and graphically conveyed; the CONNOISSEUR AND EXPERT, in communion with an artist who is both, will, it is submitted, find his discourse entertaining and instructive; while the possessor of a book which must appear indispensable to a high-class library will be provided with such a GALLERY OF ENGLISH MASTERPIECES as never before came together in book-form. Mr. ORROCK's artistic career has brought him into personal contact with many men of distinction in the Painter's profession; and his retentive memory, richly stored with anecdotes of his friends and comrades in art, has been drawn upon by the author with a Boswell-like zeal and sympathy. In Mr. ORROCK's library of SKETCH-BOOKS—representing as they do the work of some fifty years, during repeated journeyings through Scotland, the Border Counties, the most picturesque parts of the Midlands, Wales, the South Downs, and the Home Counties—we are able to follow his career from year to year with unflagging interest. This valuable collection has been placed under copious contribution. As a COLLECTOR, Mr. ORROCK is represented in these volumes by carefully reproduced examples of the MASTERPIECES he has brought together. Amongst them will be found examples of REYNOLDS, TURNER, GAINSBOROUGH, LAWRENCE, RAEBURN, ROMNEY, MORLAND, MULLER, ETTY, CROME, HOPPNER, BONINGTON, PHILLIP, LANDSEER, MILLAIS, HENRY DAWSON, DE WINT, and other illustrious artists. MASTERS IN WATER-COLOUR, such as TURNER, DAVID COX, GEORGE BARRET, WILLIAM HUNT, and their contemporaries, are also well represented. As with examples of their work, so in the elucidation by Mr. ORROCK's pen, are those beacon-lights of the purest art depicted. His Essays on the FOUR PILLARS OF THE ENGLISH WATERCOLOUR ART, and on the "PRENTICE PILLAR," are reproduced in the volumes, as well as his ESSAYS ON CONSTABLE and MULLER. The BLUE CHINA CHAPTER is not only replete with remarkable facts and anecdotes relating to the study and collection of this most exquisite ware—matters chiefly personal to the collector of the ORROCK specimens of NANKIN BLUE at the South Kensington Museum—but it gives a sketch of the history of the origin and growth of "the craze" for BLUE CHINA in England, derived from sources not hitherto drawn upon for publication. Mr. ORROCK's curiously intimate association with the origin and development of the taste that led to the present appreciation of ENGLISH FURNITURE is also adequately set forth.

McCLURE from the Third Edition of "Les Origines du Culte Chrétien." Demy 8vo, cloth boards, 10s. The Third Edition of the French Original has recently been published in Paris.

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 civilised 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 300 Illustrations, 48 of these being separate Plates printed in two tints. Half-bound, paste-grain roan, 47s. 6d.; whole bound, paste-grain roan, 56s.
