Many of these splendid designs are unpublished, and in any case owing to the large scale on which they are worked, are far superior to any printed reproductions, which must of necessity be greatly reduced in size.

The author and the publishers of the volume now offered have endeavoured to make a good representative selection of the numerous works of Lawrence, having had access to the important examples in the Royal Collection at Windsor, and to others in private collections throughout the country. 3980 LEIGHTON (Frederic Lord) late President of the Royal Academy of Arts.
