Between 1896 and 1898 there appeared four numbers of a magazine having some relation to theS ladeS chool, entitled The Quarto, an artistic, literary, and musical quarterly, edited by Mr. J. B, S. Holborn, himself aS ladeS tudent. The Quarto is now, I believe, on the booksellers list of books hard to find. It was suggested last year that another issue should be brought out, and a committee of professors and students was formed for that purpose. But the versatile spirit that originated The Quarto was no longer to be found in theS ladeS chool. So it was decided to limit ourselves to producing a number of drawings done by past and present students since Professor F. Brown came into office ;and to a letterpress that should be directly connected with the reproductions, this also to be done by students. After such modifications upon the plan ofT he Quarto, it was thought fit to give the volume a title of its own. With the expectation of a limited sale, we could not hope to make The Slade large enough to be a representative volume. We think we have collected some good drawings, but we know that a great quantity has been missed. It could not have been otherwise, and we regret it. If we have by omission treated unjustly very many, we have also had to give scant space to others who have been reproduced here in only one or two works each. Yet the purpose of the book seemed to us real enough to justify publication, in spite of its limitations and omissions. The Slade does not pretend to be an official record. To make it such other volumes would be necessary. These, it is to be hoped, will be undertaken one day, though it is not the intention of the present committee to continue the work.
