The book comprises two lectures, delivered by the author in Februar\- 

 1 91 3 to the students of the Royal Academy Art School ; these are now 



published in a more permanent 

 form, as it is thought that the)- 

 will prove useful, not only to 

 students of art, but also to the 

 general public, as an introduction 

 to the study of sculpture. The 

 author's aim has been to show that 

 " whatever justification there be 

 in the new aspirations, in the 

 new methods, and in the new 

 outlook, the study of Greek 

 sculpture still remains, and will 

 always remain, as far as its 

 fundamental principles and its 

 main achievements are con- 

 cerned, a subject which you 

 can study with profit and at 

 some stage you must study." 



The author's allusions to the 

 famous examples of both ancient 

 and modern art are illustrated 

 by a very large number of pho- 

 tographs. " These," says The 

 Times, " are judiciously selected, 

 and the text supplied is helpful ; 

 ...the book will be a welcome 

 additioxi to the libraries of those 

 to whom Greek art is a source 

 of undying joy." 



As an Appendix, Sir Charles 

 Waldstein reprints a leading 

 article which appeared in The 

 Times on the subject of his lec- 

 tures, and his own reply to some 

 Le Penseur by Rodin criticisms which it contained.
