_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.

β€œThe 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.
