In this “treatise on the ways in which the artist’s conceptions are formed and take visible shape,” Mr. Sturgis “gives a brief description of the technique of all the arts practised by man or savage down to the nineteenth century ... and even includes in a chapter on the ‘Ignored fine arts’ some discussion of fireworks and illumination, costume, the dance and stage-setting.” (Int. Studio.) There are one hundred and nineteen illustrations.
[*] “Though the work is copious, each department is despatched succinctly without overburdening detail and not without occasional expression of personal judgments and speculation.”
