"It is a study brought down to a late date, of the latest conclusions of
archæologists in regard to the best known names of the sculptors of
antiquity and the existing works which may be assigned to them in
originals or in copies; and also of the Venus de Milo and the Apollo
of the .Belvedere. An appendix of sixty pages contains a most inter-
esting account of the buildings on the Acropolis at Athens. In all
this long inquiry the theories advanced are often very bold, and some
of them undoubtedly fail to be accepted as final truth; but the undue
boldness of ascription, or dating, can do no harm except to a reader
who is unaware that all assertions as to ancient art are more or less
relative." Russell Sturgis.

The artists chosen for treatment are those who left most plainly their impress on the art of their time. Many of the finest achievements of masters like Guillaume Coustou fils, Pigalle, Houdon, Clodion, Falconnet, Lemoyne, Caffieri are little known even in their own country, and... justice is done them in this beautiful and solidly wrought work. The illustrations are finely produced." Dial, 1900.

"Criticism pure and simple... The works discussed are well known, and,
for the most part, undisputed, and the effort is to explain the nature
of their aesthetic appeal-the kind and quality of pleasure to be re-
ceived from them...The...style... is lucid... [the] reasoning is sound,
and... [the] point of view eminently sane...A work not for the
specialist but for the general public...The illustrations are well se-
lected, well executed, and sufficiently abundant." Nation, 1901.
