OF OMAR KHAYYAM, translated by EDWARD FITZGERALD, with fifty illustrations, by ELIHU VEDDER, and an ornamental title-page and cover designed by Mr. Vedder, 1 vol. 4to. This is unquestionably the most original and striking illustrated book ever produced in America. For many years the wonderful verses of the Persian poet have haunted Mr. Vedder, and pictured themselves in his imagination; and now he has caught and reproduced the pictures in this volume. There are fifty full-page illustrations, largely figure-pieces, drawn with a force and grace altogether unusual. There is not a commonplace or petty picture in the book, but all have an originality of conception and a masterly sweep of execution which are in the highest degree impressive. The binding of the book is admirably in harmony with the artist's designs, and the whole forms a gift-book of unsurpassed attractiveness.
