Two vols., crown 8vo, cloth, $9.00. In these volumes the late Earl of Crawford and Balcarres traced the history of art, of sculpture, architecture, and painting in Christian countries, and under Christian influences. Their origins and development are set forth, and the works of the principal masters in each branch are described aad criticised. In reviewing the book in the Quarterly Review, Mr. Ruskin wrote: "As a contribution to the History of Art, his work is unquestionably the most valuable which has yet appeared in England. His research has been unwearied; he has availed himself of the best results of German investigation-his own acuteness of discernment in cases of approximating or derivative style is considerable and he has set before the English reader an outline of the relations of the primitive Schools of Sacred Art which we think so thoroughly verified in all its more important ramifications, that, with whatever richness of detail the labor of succeeding writers may illustrate them, the leading lines of Lord Lindsay's chart will always be henceforth followed."
