THE LIBRARY ENRICHED. The Detroit Museum of Art is the re-
cipient, through the gift of the Toledo Museum of Art and Edward Drum- mond Libbey, Esq., its president, of two very beautiful books which will find a valued place in our Library. One is a Catalogue-de-Luxe of the Inaugural Exhibition of the Toledo Museum of Art, a most creditable example of book- making. Its -press work is splendid, its illustrations superb. It contains a brief history of the first ten years of the Mu- seum, which culminated in that beauti- ful new building, which it has been said, "is the last word" in Museum construc- tion. There is also a scholarly "For- ward" by the able Director, George W. Stevens, after which follows the cata- logue of the works of art with profuse full page illustrations. Of this Cata-
logue-de-Luxe only one thousand copies have been printed, and the Detroit Mu- seum is fortunate in possessing one.
The other bears as its title "Josef Israels," which contains the scholarly address on this modern Dutch Master, delivered at the opening of. the Josef Is- raels' Paintings in the new Toledo Mu- seum of Art, by Frank Wakeley Gun- saulus. This book, rivaling or excell- ing the Catalogue-de-Luxe in workman- ship, was published as a memorial and presented with the compliments of Ed- ward Drummond Libbey. The address is "dedicated to Edward Drummond Libbey, president of the Toledo Museum of Art, whose munificence has created this offering to - the memory of his friend, Josef Israels." It contains six- teen very beautiful illustrations in sepia of the works of the master.
