...finest paintings in Knoedler's show, however, were those by Eugene Delacroix, whose monumental Journal was first translated into English last year by Walter Pach (TIME, Nov. 1, 1937). Last week's visitors saw his superb painting of the great violinist, Paganini; studies for some of his famous murals; colorful pictures of the Moroccan subjects by which he introduced the Exotic to French art-in all, 18 works by an artist whom Frenchmen consider as important in painting as Beethoven was in music...

How they would take The Decline and Fall of the British Empire will never be known, since it will not be published in England. The most vehement book of the year, it consists of 263 pages of denunciation of England and all things English, her politics, smugness, selfishness, morals-even her birth rate...
