Book Description
Excerpt from British Painting It would be otiose and impertinent of me to say more in this Introduction in respect of the first chapter of this book than that our readers are fortunate in having the mediaeval period of British Painting so compactly and clearly suggested by the authority of Dr. James. Would that a comparable lucidity and comprehension persisted throughout this short history But I am conscious that in its account of British Painting from Tudor times till 1900 this book will not answer many questions that might be put to it.
