For the chapters on the Artists of Seville I am indebted to C. Gasquoine Hartley (Mrs. Walter M. Gallichan), who has devoted much study to the art of Spain. The drawings by Miss Elizabeth Hartley were prepared while I was gathering material for the book in Seville, and the illustrations will be found to refer to the text. I have also to thank my brother, Mr. F. H. Gallichan, for his plan of the city. The frontispiece photograph of Goya's picture of SS. Justa and Rufina was reproduced in the _Art Journal_ as an illustration to an article on "Goya" by C. Gasquoine Hartley. My thanks are due to Messrs. Virtue & Company for permission to reproduce the picture in this book. WALTER M. GALLICHAN. THE CRIMBLES, YOULGREAVE, BAKEWELL, _August 20, 1903_.
