Excerpt from A Grammar of the Arts
A few illustrations have been included, to elucidate points to which attention is specially drawn. But the learner, if he is to acquire real knowledge, will do well to choose the bulk of his illustrations for himself, from the photographs, picture-books, and postcards which all good museums now publish, and to use them as tests, not only for the opinion of others, but for the growth of his own critical faculty. Those who wish to study the subject fully will do well to acquire some such handy compendium of history and pictures as M. Reinach's Apollo (heinemann), and a few of the admirable books on architecture and the applied arts issued by Messrs. Batsford and others. My particular thanks are due to Messrs. Lane for their permission to reproduce the Cambodian Sculpture group (plate II. A) from M. F aure's recent and most suggestive volume The Spirit of the Forms. I must also record my grati tude to the late Major Frank Wedgwood, and his firm, for their generous help when studying the industry in which they have achieved well-merited distinction.
