    already so numerous and valuable , have received , a further accession . The family of Julius

    Schnorr von Carolsfeld , whose illustrations of the Bible are so widelknownhave presented

    to the Royal Cabinet of y Engravings , at Dresden a collection of drawings and wood-engravings

    of that celebrated artist . The drawings consist of 317 sheets of life and costume studies

    from different periods of Schnorr ' s artistic career . The woodcuts comprise nearly the

    whole of his celebrated Bible pictures in masterly proof impressions .

    from the 48 Communal lending libraries of Paris . The number borrowed in the year

    1884 was only 699 , 762 . Heinrich Heine ' s * Buch der Lieder * has
