of the present. _Thirty-two pages of illustrations_--some in full
color--correlate perfectly with the text and furnish examples for the

complete, authentic guide, historically and as to methods, for the art
student, the designer, and the practical worker.
HOW FRANCE BUILT HER CATHEDRALS BY ELIZABETH BOYLE O'REILLY
The Boston _Herald_ writes: "It is a monumental work, of living
interest alike to the erudite devotee of the arts and to the person
who simply enjoys, in books or his travels, the wonderful and
beautiful things that have come from the hand of man.... In a
particularly happy fashion, Miss O'Reilly has told the story of the
French cathedrals against a human background--of the great men and
women of the time." _With 31 illustrations in tint._
