GOWANS & GRAY ask with confidence for the continued support of this undertaking by lovers of art. It is their hope to be able to cover the whole field of classic painting, and the preparation of new volumes is being carried on steadily and systemati- cally with this end in view. As new editions of the earlier volumes are required, improvements are being introduced and doubtful pictures replaced by genuine works, well-known authorities — whose names are given— being followed in every case. Rubens and Vait Dyck have already appeared in this improved form, and Rembrandt^ Raphael^ and Reynolds are being actively proceeded with. The publishers hope to accelerate the issue of the series by publishing future volumes at regular monthly intervals, and their efforts will be very much assisted if those who appreciate the books will place standing orders, **till further notice," with their booksellers.
