I'M MONMY, FEBRUARY 19,1923 3iTY PlESS-CITIZEtf FIVE Books and Book Lovers Cy E. ItfrfRE Iowa Cify Public Library ARCHITECTURE Tracing tho origin and growih tho revival of classical studies, llie passion for antiquity lich led to the revival of Roman chitectures, is the work very in- restingly and comprehensively complishcd by T. G. Jackson, jn two volumes of "The nco of Roman Architecture in tly and England." It was in Florence this revival ancient leaining began, and' ere also was the source of the vival of classic arahitectuie. It took more than a centuryjind half to bring about its complete ivelopment.

Beginning with runelleschi, and the great dome Florence in 1420, it camo to a ose with Pallailio's- work in the tter part of the sixteenth cen- iry, and the completion of the great dome at St. Peter's Inch WAS finished before 1590. In volume two the histoiy of te renaissance of Roman archi- cture in England is traced froni beginning- under Henry VIII to le time of its decline. Here as Italy- tho revival of classic scholarship led naturally to the study of architecture, and it became necessary to be in classic iashion, in building as well as in letters. The rise of tho classic architecture, and some building constructed during the period, and their architects, the decline and its results on architectural styles in England today, make fascinating reading for all interested in art.

TRANSLATIONS FROM THE I By CHRISTOPHER MORLEY There is wit and satire In ,01636 little poems. If jou like this onfe, jou will enjoy others in The one we have chosen is HIS EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEWSPAPERS When the ship came up the harbor The New York reporters Hastened to assail me with questions. For some curious reason They were eager for my views 4-On the Fourth Dimension, Which was then (So I heard afterward) A subject of violent discussion In the Sunday'magazine sectio'ns. Rather pleased by their interest in such I said, in all good faith, The Fourth Dimension is SupraSpatial: bears the same relation to Space That Space does i to Flatness. It may be said to be Continuity, Or, speaking poetically, It is the- Shadow That Time casts on Eternity.
