JieuL vPKEFACE. It is not an easy task to fulfil the title of this series of hooks, and to comhine the weight of history with the necessary slightnesa of a hand-hook. It can only be done hy a resolute compression of facts which is necessarily cramping to the author and probably dry for the reader. I have done ray best to comply with the conditions and avoid the dangers: with how littJ eor how much success I fear to judge; for after all, my little work is more an outline than substantial history: to the student it may prove useful as a classification of the different schools, and to the amateur as a gallery-companion in continental travel Kecessarily the bulk of the book is devoted to Italian A rt, because for the four hundred years of which we chiefly write, Italy was the cradle of the artistic world. The northern Gothic school was the mother of Italian sculpture; the northern Modem schools are its daughters. L. S. Florence, Jamiary,
