From the earliest times down to the l6th century. By this means, in the absence of all works of a larger class of the period, I endeavoured to arrive at some know ledge both of the historical progress and of the characteristics of the English school of painting. At the same time my atten tion was extended to the miniatures of other nations preserved in England. Drawings by the old masters, engravings, and woodcuts have also been largely the object of my studies, so that I may venture to say that, both as regards the larger class of the public Who are interested in knowing´ the actual extent of the treasures of art in England, and also the more learned connoisseur of the history of art, this edition offers incomparably richer and more maturely digested materials than the former one. At the same time, I am well aware that in both respects much remains to be desired. For, notwithstanding the ceaseless researches of thirteen months, the aggregate time of my three Visits to England, the number of collections - larger and smaller - which I heard of without being able to visit, was very considerable, While at the same time many doubtless exist of which I received no tidings at all. N or, with all the experience in the study of the art which I have gathered since my first visit in 1835, would I have the reader suppose that I assume the least infallibility in my judgments - all I can say is, that I have pursued my researches with equal enthusiasm and desire for truth. For the many errors Which this work doubtless contains, I claim the indulgence of those who know from experience the difficulties which beset the critic on art. How much even depends on the conditions under which a work of art may be viewed - ou the composure of the critic´s own mind - ou the more or less leisure and comfort with Which it is associated - on the mode of lighting, position, 850.
