"It deals partly with the rudimentary generalities of artistic criticism, and in part with such archæological minutia as are usually welcome only to the special student.. Mr. Waldstein lays emphasis on the application to his studies of the comparative method, distinguished from the examination of records; that is, by comparison of the works of art themselves, by tracing from one to another the peculiarities of artist and school. The points de repère by which Mr. Waldstein lays out his discussions are naturally in most cases the identifications and discov eries to which his own independent study has been turned. With evident desire to argue his propositions fairly and state his cases evenly, he is possessed by his enthusi asms. While these make his discussion interesting and persuasive, they lead him to a positiveness in details which savors of over-statement and lends an ex-parte color to his arguments."-Nation, xlii. 282.

In this large and important work Dr. Waldstein has not only carefully studied and collected the great mass of existing literature on the subject, ... but he has also studied the subject for himself with a closeness of observa

tion and a scientific accuracy of method which give to his views, even when they merely endorse those of previous writers, some value and originality of their own.... Dr. Waldstein will be the last to expect complete assent to all his propositions, but it must be said that, as a rule, he does carry the reader along with him, and presents well-considered, strong, and sensible reasons, marshalled in orderly array, in support of his various views and theories."-Sai. Rev., 1xi. 232, 275.
