“The beauty of these photographs from so many points of vantage
would of itself suffice to show the fidelity and affection with
which Professor Raymond pursued the theme of his admirably
constructed poems. The introduction by his pupil, friend, and
associate is an exhaustive study. No better or more thorough
review could be written of the book, or more clearly point out
the directness and power of Professor Raymond’s work.... Among
his many books none justifies more brilliantly the correctness
and charm of his rhetorical instruction, or his facility in
exemplifying what he commends.”—_Hartford_ (Conn.) _Courant_.
=Rhythm and Harmony in Poetry and Music.= 8º =$1.75=
“The reader must be, indeed, a person either of supernatural
stupidity or of marvellous erudition, who does not discover
much information in Prof. Raymond’s exhaustive and instructive
treatise. From page to page it is full of suggestion.”—_The
Academy_ (London).
PROFESSOR RAYMOND’S ART-BOOKS
=Art in Theory.= 8vo, cloth extra. =$1.75=
“A well grounded, thoroughly supported, and entirely artistic
conception of art as a whole, that will lead observers to
apply its principles ... and to distrust the charlatanism that
imposes an idle and superficial mannerism upon the public in
place of true beauty and honest workmanship.”—_The New York
Times._
“His style is good, and his logic sound, and ... of the
greatest possible service to the student of artistic
theories.”—_Art Journal_ (London).
=The Representative Significance of Form.= 8vo, cloth extra. =$2.00=
“Evidently the ripe fruit of years of patient and exhaustive
study on the part of a man singularly fitted for his task.
It is profound in insight, searching in analysis, broad in
spirit, and thoroughly modern in method and sympathy.”—_The
Universalist Leader._
“An original thinker and writer, the charm of his style and
clearness of expression make Mr. Raymond’s book possible to the
general reader, though worthy of the study of the student and
scholar.”—_Hartford Courant._
=Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, as Representative Arts.= With 225
illustrations, 8vo. =$2.50=
“Expression by means of extension or size ... shape ...
regularity in outlines ... the human body ... posture, gesture,
and movement ... are all considered.... A specially interesting
chapter is the one on color.”—_Current Literature._
“The whole book is the work of a man of exceptional
thoughtfulness, who says what he has to say in a remarkably
lucid and direct manner.”—_The Philadelphia Press._
=The Genesis of Art-Form.= Fully illustrated. 8vo. =$2.25=
