Social history; United States -- Social conditions -- 1865-1918
By SARAH TYTLER, author of "Papers for Thoughtful Girls."
16mo. Cloth, neat. Price of each, $1.50.
Designed for the use of Schools and Learners in Art,
and extensively used in Academies, Seminaries, &c.,
throughout the country.
"An excellent introduction to the history of
art."--_Daily News._
"These two books give in a simple and concise manner
the prominent facts that every one who desires to be
well informed should know about the great artists of
the world. For beginners in art and for school use
they are valuable."--_Courier-Journal._
"Really supplies what has long been a want."--_British
Quarterly Review._
"We are not aware of any work of the kind written with
so much intelligence which yet is so
untechnical."--_Nonconformist._
"Too much praise cannot be given the conscientious
manner in which the author has worked. There is no
obtrusion of useless details or of unwelcome
criticism; but in very pleasant style, with clear and
well-defined purpose, the story of the growth and
progress of art is told through the lives and works of
artists. The volumes are most agreeable reading and
profitable study."--_Boston Post._
MUSICAL COMPOSERS AND THEIR WORKS.
For the Use of Schools and Students in America. By
SARAH TYTLER. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.50.
In this unostentatious but carefully written volume,
the author of "Old Masters" and "Modern Painters" has
given a simple account of the great musicians of the
world and of their works. The book is designed more
especially for the use of young people in the course
of their musical education, but the author
trusts--and with very good reason--that it will
commend itself also to older people, who are
interested in the subject, but who have not time or
opportunity to refer to original sources of
information. Not the least attractive portion of the
work is the sketch of Wagner with which it closes.
