REGINA LITERATURE.
"Where Music Dwells" is the appropriate
title of the latest Regina illustrated catalo-
gue, just issued. It is one of the most ar-
tistic publications of the kind ever pub-
lished, and reflects great credit on all who
participated in its preparation and produc-
tion. The cover is a masterpiece of original
artistic design, in colors. The text is well
written, and admirably arranged. The il-
lustrations, particularly those showing fac-
tory interiors and perfect examples of the
photographer's and engraver's arts. Every
style of Regina music box, from the largest
to the least in size is shown to good advan-
tage.
