BOOKS ON ART.

_Introduction to the Study of Art._

By M. A. DWIGHT, author of “Grecian and Roman Mythology.” 12mo.
Cloth, $1.25.

II.

_Great Lights in Sculpture and Painting._

A Manual for Young Students. By S. D. DOREMUS. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.

“This little volume has grown out of a want long felt by a writer who desired to take a class through the history of the great sculptors and painters, as a preliminary step to an intelligent journey through Europe.”--_From Preface._

III.

_Schools and Masters of Painting._

With an Appendix on the Principal Galleries of Europe. With
numerous Illustrations. By A. G. RADCLIFFE. 12mo. Cloth, $3.00.

“The volume is one of great practical utility, and may be used to advantage as an artistic guide-book by persons visiting the collections of Italy, France, and Germany, for the first time. The twelve great pictures of the world, which are familiar by copies and engravings to all who have the slightest tincture of taste for art, are described in a special chapter, which affords a convenient stepping-stone to a just appreciation of the most celebrated masterpieces of painting. An important feature of the work, and one which may save the traveler much time and expense, is the sketch presented in the Appendix, of the galleries of Florence, Rome, Venice, Paris, Dresden, and other European collections.”--_N. Y. Tribune._

A Manual of Painting, for the Student and Amateur; with Information
for the General Reader. By HORACE J. ROLLIN. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

“The work is a small one, but it is comprehensive in its scope; it is written as tersely as possible, with no waste sentences, and scarcely any waste words, and to amateur artists and art-students it will be invaluable as a hand-book of varied information for ready reference.”--_N. Y. Evening Post._
