Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Artists, English and French<br><br>The followmg pages contam the Scammon Lectures delivered at Chicago in the spring of 1907, along with one or two addenda inserted, which were promised at the conclusion of the course. It was the lecturer' s intention to develop them into a larger volume, containing a more complete discussion of the subject; but c1rcum stances have prevented the fulfilment of that desire. Some things have been added which were not spoken. Others have been omitted, because they were more suited for an oral address than for a prmted book.
