      4 * 4 + 4 * *!? Messrs . AC & rcus Ward db Co . have iloted artistic ventures to the harbour of

      success . This _^^^^»* - _ ^ season they ^ m- ' hav ^ H e several new p productions ^^ many _ ^ , which MB a ^ k will ^ ^ ^ A probabl ^ ^^ ^ K y be ^ H expensivel A ^ M y imitated in the future . The quaint reproduction of * Rip Van Winkle , ' with etchings by

      T . Goodman , is a novel publication , quaint in fancy , and will in all probability lead to a further development of the style . The booklet , ' A Life on the Ocean Wave , ' is a pretty

      example of good lithographic work . The illuminated booklet , ' Mother and Child , ' is equally commendable . From the appearance of these specimens we judge that Messrs . Marcus Ward & Coare still in the front rank of decorative artists in stationery requisites .

      . Their gift-books are as usual most exquisite . We would especially mention ' Young Maids and Old China , ' a delightful work , poetically and pictorially . Companion books equally

      beautiful in appearance are * Three Old Friends and * Little Boy Blue . ' 4 + ? 4 * 4 *
