FOOTNOTES:

[1] There has recently appeared from the press of Small, Maynard & Company, publishers of Boston, Mass., an English version of “Art” by Auguste Rodin, containing 106 illustrations in halftone and photogravure.

It is a most important contribution to the literature of “Art” by one of the greatest living sculptors. It covers practically the whole range of art and abounds in the analyses of the works of the masters of painting and sculpture, ancient and modern.

[2] It will be recalled that the Portuguese navigator, Antonio Galvão, as early as 1528, proposed to Charles V, that interoceanic communication be opened across the Isthmus of Panama and that in 1550, he is said to have published a book to demonstrate that such a canal could be constructed at Tehuantepec Nicaragua, Panama or Darien. In 1551 Francisco Lopez de Gómara urged Philip II of Spain to proceed with the undertaking without delay. (See Francisco Lopez de Gómara Hist. Gen’l. Lib. 4, Cap. 14, Larousse Encyclopædic Dictionary. Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th Edition, vol. xx., pp. 666-667.)
