ILLUMINATED WORKS.

This day will be published,

THE VICTORIA PSALTER.

Illuminated by OWEN JONES, and dedicated, by command, to Her Majesty the Queen, with Chants for the daily services by Dr. Rimbault, F.S.A.-It is intended that every page of this magnificent folio shall be enriched with the most splendid illuminations ever attempted in any modern work. The perfection to which the art of chromo-lithography has arrived enables the publishers to pledge themselves to reproduce, with the strictest fidelity, the original refined yet sumptuous designs of the author, who is universally acknowledged to be the only artist of modern times able, not only to equal, but surpass, in imagination, brilliancy, and pure taste, the cherished and priceless works of the renowned illuminators of days gone by. As the illuminated Psalters of past ages are known by the names of, and mark the reigns of, the Queens in whose time they were produced, so it is hoped to justify the permission accorded to designate this the Victoria Psalter by making it in every way the choicest production of the reign, and worthy ever to be associated with the name of our most illustrious Queen. The first six parts are now ready for publication.

NEW SERIES OF SCHOOL MAPS.

EUR

UROPE.-Scale, 65 miles to an inch; size, 4 feet 10 in. by 4 feet 2 in.—Price, mounted on Canvas and Roller, varnished, 13s.

The outline is carefully drawn and is very distinct. The great rivers, too, are easily traceable at a glance. The mountains are accurately engraved; all the most important passes of the Alps are indicated; and the highlands in the neighbouring parts of Asia and Africa are delineated to show their relation to the European systems. The political divisions are boldly marked according to the most recent changes. Each of the smaller Continental Kingdoms is separately coloured, while the German Principalities are distinguished by a uniform tint. Great pains have been taken to exclude all names that are not of service in a Map for elementary purposes. The sites of great battles and other important historical events are distinguished from places of mere Geographical interest.

*** Maps of Palestine, England and Wales, and Asia, will be published in a short time.

of "Lessons in Art," "<
Elementary Art," "Prin-
ciples and Practice of Art," &c., &c. Containing
Thirty Drawings, on mounts 22 inches by 17
inches. Recent improvements in the appliances of
Lithography have tempted Mr. Harding to produce
the present work. His aim has been to give every
lithograph the freedom, the force, in short, the in-
dividuality of an original drawing in black and
white chalk, upon tinted paper-to open up the con-
tents of his portfolios, and to make them universal
property.
