HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, & TRAVELS. 21 



To the enlarged French edition of Passavant's Life of Raphael, that 

 painter 's admirers have turned whenever they have sought information, 

 and it will doubtless remain for many years the best book ofrejerence on 

 all questions pertaining to the great painter. The present work consists 

 of a translation of those parts of Passavant's volumes which are most 

 likely to interest the general readtr. Besides a complete life of Raphael, it 

 contains the vahiable descriptions of all his known paintings, and the 

 Chronological Index, which is of so much service to amateurs who wish to 

 study the progressive character of his works-. The Illustrations by 

 Woodbury's new permanent process of photography, are taken from the 

 finest engravings that could be procured, and have been chosen with the 

 intention of giving examples of Raphael's various styles of painting. The 

 SATURDAY REVIEW says of them, " We have seen not a feiv elegant 

 specimens of Mr. Woodbury's new process, but we have seen none that 

 equal these."

 acceptable to a large number outside of the many friends at whose request
