An important and extraordinarily interesting study of the relationship between the Hebrews and the Babylonians, devoted primarily to pointing out the differences between Babylonian myths, beliefs, and practices, and the final form assumed by corresponding Hebrew traditions, despite the fact that both are to be traced back to the same source.
New Guides to Old Masters
By John C. Van Dyke
Professor of the History of Art at Rutgers College and author of “The Meaning of Pictures,” “What is Art?” etc.
12 Volumes Each with frontispiece
A series of art guides, whose little volumes, unique in conception and execution, should be as natural and essential a part of every man’s traveling equipment as the Baedeker guide-books are now.
They are the only descriptive and critical art guides in existence. They are written by the high authority on art, who is probably better acquainted than any other writer living with the European galleries.
They are composed of clear, pointed critical notes upon individual pictures, written before those pictures by the author.
These notes deal comprehensively with practically all of the European galleries; and therefore discuss and explain practically all the important paintings that hang in those galleries.
