“In a spirit at once scientific and that of the true artist, he
pierces through the manifestations of art to their sources, and
shows the relations, intimate and essential, between painting,
sculpture, poetry, music, and architecture. A book that
possesses not only singular value, but singular charm.”—_N. Y.
Times._
“A help and a delight. Every aspirant for culture in any of the
liberal arts, including music and poetry, will find something
in this book to aid him.”—_Boston Times._
=Proportion and Harmony of Line and Color in Painting, Sculpture, and
Architecture.= Fully illustrated. 8vo. =$2.50=
“No critical person can afford to ignore so valuable
a contribution to the art-thought of the day.”—_The
Art-Interchange_ (N. Y.).
“One does not need to be a scholar to follow this scholar
as he teaches while seeming to entertain; for he does
both.”—_Burlington Hawk-Eye._
“The artist who wishes to penetrate the mysteries of color,
the sculptor who desires to cultivate his sense of proportion,
or the architect whose ambition is to reach to a high standard
will find the work helpful and inspiring.”—_Boston Transcript._
BOOKS BY PROFESSOR RAYMOND
=Poetry as a Representative Art.= 8º =$1.75=
This book is an attempt, in accordance with modern methods, aided by
the results of modern investigation, to determine scientifically the
laws of poetic composition and criticism, by deriving and distinguishing
the methods and meanings of the various factors of poetic form and
thought from those of the elocution and rhetoric of ordinary speech, of
which poetry is an artistic development. The principles unfolded are
illustrated by quotations from the first English poets.
“I have read it with pleasure, and a sense of instruction on
many points.”—_Francis Turner Palgrave, Professor of Poetry,
Oxford University._
“Dieses ganz vortreffliche Werk.”—_Englische Studien,
Universität Breslau._
“An acute, interesting, and brilliant piece of work....
As a whole the essay deserves unqualified praise.”—_N. Y.
Independent._
=The Essentials of Æsthetics.= Fully illustrated. 8º =$2.50=
A compendium of all the art-volumes, designed as a Text-Book.
“So lucid in expression and rich in illustration that every
page contains matter of deep interest even to the general
reader.”—_Boston Herald._
“It can hardly fail to make talent more rational, genius
more conscious of the principles of art, and the critic and
connoisseur better equipped for impression, judgment, and
appraisement.”—_New York Times._
=The Orator’s Manual.= 12mo =$1.50=
