About the book >.>.> Another scheme of mine was to revive the defunct Fine Arts Quarterly Review, but this did not look very hopeful, as the price of each number was high, and we knew that the circulation of that periodical had been limited. Amongst possible titles, I hit upon the PORTFOLIO, which is practically very convenient, being a single word, and suggesting the idea of drawings and engravings, except to the mind of a politician. Mr. Seeley adopted this, and then he sent me sizes of paper to choose from, one larger than the present size, and this one, which I thought the happiest of all possible shapes and dimensions for an illustrated fine art periodical. It permits us to give a print of some importance with a fair margin, and yet it is not cumbersome. It occupies the happy mean between Art' and the 'Gazette des Beaux Arts. In our recent changes, whatever else might be amended, we found it impossible to improve the size. It was not a part of our scheme to take up any militant position in art criticism.
