CALENDARS.

The most artistically illustrated books published in Canada during the past few years are the annual calendars of the Toronto Art Students' League. The "Ninety Seven is the best of the series, and is a whole art education in itself. The subjects of the various sketches are the "Canadian Water-ways," and the book is thus a Canadian souvenir, as well as a good example of an artistic taste amongst our people. C. W. Jeffrey's pen-and-ink sketch of Wolfe's Cove is a fine piece of work, and so is F. H. Brigden's type of a Canadian river valley. Several of the

artists who contribute are now resident in New York.

The Brundage Calendar + for 1897 is a series of twelve water-colour sketches by the well known American artist, Francis Brundage. Each sketch has for its subject a child's face, and each study is thoughtfully and carefully worked out.

NOTES.

Mr. James Lane Allen's "Summer in Arcady," which has proved such a success, will be published this month in England by the Messrs. Dent.

*Toronto: The Copp Clark Co.; paper 50 cents. + Longman's Colonial Library.
