Excerpt from Hymns for Missions With TunesTo give our Church a permanent Mission Hymn Book is not our province, even it? It were within our power.Experience has abundantly proved, that for at least some depart ments of aggressive missionary effort, the hymns of our Hymnal are not sufficient. Those who confine themselves to their use, labor at serious disadvantage, at least in their effort to reach certain classes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Later Reliques of Old LondonThe series of drawings commenced in that book. My aim in the Reliques was to record, as far as possible, only buildings which had escaped the Great Fire of London, but as I found these too numerous to include in one volume of reasonable size, many, especially in the City and East End, were held over for a second series. Whilst hunting for my subjeets I came across many very in teresting and beautiful bits of old building, which, though of doubtful date, are certainly very little later than the limit of time I had set for myself. In talking over the book, Mr. Wheatley agreed with me that it would be interesting to include the great foundation school buildings, such as Christs Hospital - which, alas, is now so soon to disappear - and also that miniature masterpiece, attributed to Sir Christopher Wren, the Westminster Bluecoat School, although in this case the doomed building is to.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Art and Criticism

What is kitsch? What is behind its appeal? More important, what is wrong with kitsch? Though central to our modern and postmodern culture, kitsch has not been seriously and comprehensively analyzed, its aesthetic worthlessness has been generally assumed but seldom explained. Kitsch and Art seeks to give this phenomenon its due by exploring the basis of artistic evaluation and aesthetic value judgments.Tomas Kulka examines kitsch in the visual arts, literature, music, and architecture.To distinguish kitsch from art, Kulka proposes that kitsch depicts instantly identifiable, emotionally charged objects or themes, but that it does not substantially enrich our associations relating to the depicted objects or themes. He then addresses the deceptive nature of kitsch by examining the makeup of its artistic and aesthetic worthlessness. Ultimately Kulka argues that the mass appeal of kitsch cannot be regarded as aesthetic appeal, but that its analysis can illuminate the nature of art appreciation._,
