London: SEELEY & CO., LIMITED, Extra Crown 8vo, with 33 Illustrations, and a photogravure vignette, DISCOURSES DELIVERED TO Students of the Royal Academy BY SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, Kt. With a General Introduction and Special Introduction ROGER E. FRY Author of Giovanni Bellini, etc., etc. Of the value of Reynolds’ Discourses to art-students of the present day, Professor Clausen said, in one of his lectures delivered at the Royal Academy in 1904: “There is no book that an artist can read so illuminating and helpful as Sir Joshua Reynolds’ Discourses.... These admirable Discourses give with the utmost candour and clearness, with entire freedom from the sentimentality and gush which mars so much that is written on artistic subjects, the ripe conclusions of a great artist. We see the perfect workman—the master craftsman, if I may say so—putting his methods before us and laying bare his mind to us.” The illustrations for the edition now presented have been selected with much thought and care by Mr. Roger Fry, who has also endeavoured in his Introductions and Notes to bring to bear on the subject the results of modern criticism and research.

London: SEELEY & CO., LIMITED, In large 4to, price Five Guineas net, in cloth THE ETCHINGS OF REMBRANDT BY P. G. HAMERTON WITH FIFTY FACSIMILES IN PHOTOGRAVURE CAMPBELL DODGSON Of the Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum. “I have been studying,” said Mr. Hamerton in 1894, “the works of Rembrandt’s immediate predecessors and contemporaries in etching, with a view to understand his relative position more accurately. The result has only been to deepen my sense of the master’s incomparable greatness, of his sterling originality, and especially of that wonderful quality in him by which he does not belong to the seventeenth century, but quite as much to the closing years of the nineteenth. In like manner, when it comes, he will be at home in the twentieth century, and in many another after it.” Much has been done, since those words were written, to spread the great etcher’s fame through the many reproductions of his plates that have been published. The art of reproduction, however, is a very modern one, and has only recently attained perfection. The plates here offered have been pronounced by experts to be superior to any hitherto produced. The selection has been made with the view of showing Rembrandt’s work in its rich variety, and it includes several of his most important and largest subjects. Mr. Hamerton was specially qualified to write on the subject from his intimate practical knowledge of the technicalities of etching. His valuable essay was highly appreciated at the time of its appearance; and Mr. Campbell Dodgson has now added to it a complete annotated catalogue of all Rembrandt’s etchings, embodying the latest conclusions of the best critics. The edition is limited to 250 copies, of which only 225 are for sale.
