"An excellent introduction to the history of art."—Daily News.
"These two books give in a simple and concise manner the prominent facts that every one who desires to be well informed should know about the great artists of the world. For beginners in art and for school use they are valuable."—Courier-Journal.
"Really supplies what has long been a want."—British Quarterly Review.
"We are not aware of any work of the kind written with so much intelligence which yet is so untechnical."—Nonconformist.
"Too much praise cannot be given the conscientious manner in which the author has worked. There is no obtrusion of useless details or of unwelcome criticism; but in very pleasant style, with clear and well-defined purpose, the story of the growth and progress of art is told through the lives and works of artists. The volumes are most agreeable reading and profitable study."—Boston Post.
Musical Composers and their Works.
For the Use of Schools and Students in America. By Sarah Tytler. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.50.
In this unostentatious but carefully written volume, the author of "Old Masters" and "Modern Painters" has given a simple account of the great musicians of the world and of their works. The book is designed more especially for the use of young people in the course of their musical education, but the author trusts—and with very good reason—that it will commend itself also to older people, who are interested in the subject, but who have not time or opportunity to refer to original sources of information. Not the least attractive portion of the work is the sketch of Wagner with which it closes.
