New Edition of a book which is supposed to have played some little part in increasing the taste for Print Collecting here in England, the few alterations I have made, in the text, are chiefly verbal ones. I did not want to interfere, more than was absolutely needful, with a piece of writing that, done at one time, possessed, probably, along with all its faults and its deficiencies, some unity. But it seemed good that certain additions, hardly outside the lines on which the book had been planned and which the passing of years, more than anything else, had suggested should be made, and grouped together in a short, separate Chapter Postscript: 1905. That has been accomplished. And this Postscript deals very briefly with a few artists, new or not noticed before deals too with certain changes in money value, as to which no indication can be more than approximate. It has been necessary to extend, to a small extent, theB ibliography, And it has been convenient to suppress certain of the Illustrations that appeared in theO riginal Edition, and to supply others in the place of them.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
