Publisher Description
This book contains a selection from my writings on Art extending over a period of twenty years. Some essays have never before been published in England; and I have also added a good deal of new matter and made slight corrections throughout. In the laborious work of hunting up lost and forgotten publications, and in the work of selection, revision, and arrangement I owe everything to Mr. R. R. Tatlock’s devoted and patient labour.
DEDICATED TO MY SISTER MARGERY WITHOUT WHOSE GENTLE BUT PERSISTENT PRESSURE THIS BOOK WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE

Customer Reviews
In rough shape
The typography of this edition is a disaster. The measure is far too wide, and the text was obviously not proofread. On the very first page, I encountered “depositsof”, “Torealise”, and ‘hisdream”. Inexcusable.
