    THE NEW ART LIBRARY EDITED BYi M. H. SPIELMANN, F.S.A., and P. G. KONODY “The admirable New Art Library.”—Connotistur THE volumes in this series are primarily intended for the use of Art Stmffents. The instruction given is of the most thorough kind, and is based on long practical experience and intimate knowledge; the name* of the authors will be a sufficient guarantee for the high excellence of their work. The greatest care is being bestowed on the illustrations, which are very numerous and in a remarkable degree explanatory of the text. It may be doubted whether artistic processes have ever before been so clearly illustrated. It is hoped that the volumes will also be welcomed by those amateur artists who, although they do not follow art for a livelihood, are in no way content with inferior craftsmanship, but are earnestly bent on acquiring a sound and workmanlike method, based upon knowledge of technical processes in all their details. But there is a third class to whom these volumes may prove of high interest the lovers of art, who, though they produce nothing themselves, are not content with an unintelligent enjoyment of artistic creations. No one can be said to understand them who is ignorant of the principles on which they are executed. The special enjoyment which an artist finds in a work of art may be shared by the art-lover if he will take the pains to examine it in the same way as the professional artist, and thus gain some understanding of the purely technical means of expression employed. The cultivation of a correct taste is thus assured—the knowledge not only of what to like, but why to like it. Appreciation is thus founded on reason. The prices of the volumes will be lower than those of any similar publica- tions; at the same time, the publishers believe the series will be as complete, thorough, and practical as any hitherto issued, and will contain many novel features not hitherto found in kindred works. The intention has been to meet the requirements of students and of Art Schools throughout the country, who w'ill at length be able to procure trustworthy and authoritative instruction books at a modest expenditure.
