" The last few years have witnessed the publication of more sump- 

 tuous books oil the fine arts than any period of similar length in 

 the history of the world, and among these books Messrs. Constable's 

 monumental volume on tiie Bridgewater Gallery must take the 

 first place." — C. J. H. in the Burlington Magazine. 



" Nothing more splendid has been accomplished in this direction. 

 In the first place the 120 reproductions in photgravure are all of 

 them extraordinarily fine impressions. Such perfection in the 

 engraving and printing as is here seen can only be the result of 

 infinite care and fastidious selection. It implies, besides the mas- 

 tery of the mechanical craft, a real appreciation of the beauties to 

 be rendered, a choice of the best impressions, and a stern rejection 

 of everything that does not come up to the highest standard."—

 RiCKETTS. With 54 Illustrations in Photo- 

 gravure. Imperial quarto, 5 guineas net. 

 Edition Hmited to 350 copies, for sale ; also 50

" Mr. Ricketts writes with learning and distinction of the pic- 

 tures in that wonderful collection at Madrid. The critic seems 

 equally at home in discussing the Spanish, Italian, or Netherlands 

 school. . . . The work is illustrated by fifty-four photogravures, 

 some of which are large, and the pictures represented are many of 

 them among the world's masterpieces. The volume is therefore a 

 dehghtful one, as it is good both to look at and to read." — Spec- 

 tator. ^
