Excerpt from Sculpture, Renaissance and Modern
IT is not an easy task to fulfil the title of this series of books, and to combine the Weight of history with the necessary slightness of a hand-book. It can only be done by a resolute compression of facts which is necessarily cramping to the author and probably dry for the reader. I have done my best to comply with the conditions and avoid the dangers: with how, little or 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.
