Excerpt from Histoire des Enseignes de ParisLes dessins et la plupart des gravures sur bois qui devaient illustrer les Enseignes de Paris étaient exécutés depuis plus de quinze ans par les soins et sous les yeux de M. E. Dentu, et lauteur tardait encore non seulement a remettre son manuscrit a limprimeur mais encore a remplir les lacunes de son travail et a en completer lensemble. Il sexposait ainsi a se voir devance par un concurrent qui aurait eu moins de souci que lui de faire un bon livre. Le sujet etait tentant, il est vrai, engageant meme, a vue de pays, mais on navait qua laborder pour en reconnaitre letendue et les difficul tes. Beaucoup deradits et de litterateurs essayerent de sen emparer, mais ils y renoncerent, en presence de la longueur des recherches, et ils se contenterent les uns et les autres defheurer le sujet quil eut fallu approfondir.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Jean-François Millet, Painter-EtcherIng each state of each plate separately) are forty-four in number. They range from tiny first essays, roughly scratched on copper and printed by the artist himself with color from his palette, to large accomplished etchings, beau tifully printed by professional hands. These last show in many cases designs with which some of Millets most famous paintings have made us familiar. Here in black and white we find again, for instance, the Gleaners, the wool-carder, the Peasant with Wheel barrow, the thrice-popular Two Peasants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Washington and Lincoln PortraitsSo far as it can be true that any one man ever did win a war, George Washington won the Revolution single-handed. He did not so much lead the Ameri can people, as drag them after him to a victory and an independence which they had not entirely made up their minds to seek. Washington was born as he thought to poverty, trained himself to make his own way in the world, and when he unexpectedly in herited a great fortune found himself well fitted to make the best use of it. To years of hard labor and outdoor life, he owed his vigorous constitution and physical endurance, his Indian campaigns and ser vice under Braddock made him the Only man in the colonies with any considerable actual experience in military matters and the only man acquainted with the effect upon British troops of the conditions under which a war would have to be fought here. He knew from experience the hopelessness of conducting a wilderness campaign upon the European model, and he never forgot it. The final victory in the Revolu tion we owe to his keen use of the topography of the country to create an impregnable defense. He was one of those rare men who loom gigantic before the eyes of their contemporaries. Somehow he possessed that rarer thing than genius, more intangible than magnetism, a superlative sanity and probity. Scarce ly a dozen men have ever possessed m all history the confidence of a great body of men to the degree he did. Their willingness to follow him without asking explanations or expecting comprehension of the reasons is one of the decisive factors in the movements of the time. His personal inuence kept an army in the field during the war, held the jarring statesmen together till the Constitution was formed, and then set the new government on its feet. One cannot con-celve of the Revolution without him. He is in the truest sense the father of the present nation. Had colonial America never developed into the United States, it w

Excerpt from The De La Salle Hymnal for Catholic Schools and ChoirsThe numbers contained in the Appendix, while not Church Music in the proper sense of the term, have been included by request as being suitable for reunions of a more or less religious character.The Index embodies the results of serious effort to trace words and tunes to their source. In this respect the Catholic Church Hymnal of J. Fischer Brother and the Westminster Hymnal were both helpful. It is to be hoped that in a later edition many of the present blanks may be filled.As the singing of hymns is pre-eminently a religious act, the attention of young and the old is called to the Indulgences announced below. May all who use this book experience the hallowed emotions of St. Augustine as he listened to Christian Psalmody, and strive to emulate the example of St. Philip Neri in promoting the effectiveness of Catholic Hymns.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Quebec, the Ancient CapitalLook where one will, the search for what is of interest is not in vain. A day might be spent around Laval with its pictures, its library of volumes and its rare manuscripts, though weeks would be too short for some lov~rs of such treasures. Street after street in the city has a history worth hearing, and house after house its traditions. At such places as the (itadel, Wolfes Cove and the Plains of Abraham, the steps of the victors and vanquished in the great contest may be traced. There is but. One Quebec oid, quaint and romantic - the theatre that has witnessed some of the grandest scenes in the dramas played by nations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Art Collection of Mr. Alfred Beit at His Residence, 26 Park Lane, LondonThese words have always been regarded as sulfidmt to establish beyond any doubt, that the picture, which was originally in the Palazzo Torregiani at Florence, is a work of Paolo Veronese. That artist left his native city, Verona, in the year 1555. And subsequently took up his residence in Venice. It is therefore quite possible that he painted in that city a portrait of Alessandro Alberti, who had been banished from Florence. On the whole, however, the picture bears but very little resemblance to the work of this artist. Nor does it correspond with his earlier productions. This is particularly the case as regards his paintings in the Church ofsan Sebastiano in Venice, where he had, about this period. Completed the decoration of the ceiling and pictures for the altar. In opposition to Paolos generally picturesque colour-effect and treatment, the colour note in this instance is pale yellow, somewhat devoid of expression and blmded if! Rather a hard manner. The drawing, however, is very clear and the execution careful, and in these respects the portrait reminds one of the paintings of Parmegianino or Bronzino, without corresponding exactly to the style of either of these artists. It is, at any rate, from the hand of one of the great Italian masters of the middle of the 15th. Century, but the doubts as to whether it is a genuine Paolo are justified in spite of the signature on the picture. For, apart from other points, even the lettering of Paolo Cagliaris name is different from what we usually find, is somewhat infirm, and suggests that the name migbthave been altered at some later period. Possibly the picture was afterwards restored by a mar
