Oct nt, 1 910 Alcstrt. GowANs & (Ikat ask with confidence tor the continued «upport of this uiiiiirtaking by lovers of art. It is their hope to be able to cover the whole field of clastic painting by including all important artists who were born before tiic year iSco, and the preparation of new volumes is being carried on steadily and systematically with this end in view. As new editions of earlier volumes are ciUed for, improvements are made when considered advisable: newly discovered pictures are inserted, and opportunity is taken to discard interior pictures if others of superior merit are found to be obtainable. The publishers hope to accelerate the issue of tiie series by publishing future voluines at the rate of at least twelve yearly, and their efforts will be very much assisted if those who appreciate tlie books will place standing orders, " till further notice," with their booksellers. They beg to announce the following, with approximate dates of issue :

Why so little is known about the great art of
