Sir Martin Conway's Note. 

 Nearly half a century has passed since Mr. W. H. fames IVeale, then resident at 

 Bruges, began tliat long series of fatient investigations into the history of Netherlandish 

 art which was destined to ea>n so rich a ha7~vest. Wlien he began work Memlinc was 

 still called I /em ling, and zvas fabled to have arrived at Bruges as a wounded soldier. 

 The van Eycks zucre little more than legctidary heroes. Roger Van dcr IVeyden was little 

 more than a name. Most of the other great Netherlandish artists -were either wholly 

 ''brgotten or named only in connection zvith paintings zuith ivhich they had nothing to do. 

 Mr. Weale discovered Gerard David, and disentangled his principal ivorks from Mem- 

 line's, with which they were then confused.

*j(.* No complete Life of Vincenzo Fop fa has ever been ivritten: an onission ivhich 

 seems almost ine.xflicable in these days of over-production in the matter of bio- 

 graphies of painters, and of subjects relating to the art of Italy. The object of the 

 authors of this book has been to present a true picture of the tnasiers life based 

 upon the testimofiy of records in Italian archives. The authors have unearthed a large 

 amount of tievj material relating to Foppa, one of the tnost interesting facts brought to 

 light being that he lived for twenty-three years longer than zvas formerly supposed. The 

 ilhtstrations will include several pictures by Foppa hitherto ufiknoxvn in the history of art. 



MEMOIRS OF THE DUKES OF URBINO. 



Illustrating the Arms, Art and Literature of Italy from 1440 to 

 1630. By James Dennistoun of Dennistoun. A New Edition 

 edited by Edward Hutton, with upwards of 100 Illustrations. 

 Demy 8vo. 3 vols. 42J. net. 



*»* For many years this great book has been out pj print, although it still remains the 

 chief authority upon the Duchy of Urbino from the beginning of the ffteenth century. 

 Mr. Hutton has carefully edited the whole work, leaving the tesct substantially the same, 

 but adding a large number of new notes, comrnents and refetences. IVherever possible 

 the reader is directed to original sources. hvery sort of work has been laid under 

 contribution to illustrate the text, and bibliographies have been supplied on tnanv subjects. 

 Besides these notes the look acquires a new value on account of the mass of illustratioKS 

 which it now contains, thus adding a pictorial comment to an historical atid critical one.
