This is a very comprehensive work, and is full of practical as well as historical information on all subjects connected with Art. Bryan calls it "a very laborious and ingenious work," and the authors of the Biographie Universelle say :

"Watelet a donné dans son Dictionnaire de peinture, de gravure, et de sculpture, la définition de tous les mots employés dans ces différents arts.

These exceedingly elaborate and beautiful plates have all the appearance of very highly finished drawings, and make most elegant decorations for the drawingroom, either in gilt frames or the portfolio. Their size, including the margins, is 16 inches by 21 inches, but they will frame somewhat smaller.

"This splendid work is now complete, and does equal honour to the genius of the artist, and the liberal spirit of the publishers. It is unequalled in its way, and will be long without a rival, whether bound as a volume, treasured in a portfolio, or framed for universal admiration. With all our respect for Prout, and some others, we must admit that there never was an artist who touched on Gothic Architecture with the same severe truth and fidelity as Mr. Wild."-Athenæum.

The Architectural Drawings of the late Mr. Wild are as remarkable for their fidelity, as for their freedom and effect, and are highly appreciated by Artists.

"The subjects are well chosen; the architecture is grand and rich almost to redundancy; the artist has represented them with great exactness, but with spirit, and they are beautifully correct."-Times.

"This is a most interesting work. None knew better than the late Mr. Charles Wild how to select and delineate the beauties of Gothic Architecture."

This exquisite work has called forth the admiration of all lovers of the fine arts. It was got up without limit to expense, by a well known traveller of taste, and is thought by engravers to be the finest work of scenery ever produced in this country. Owing to the demise of the author, it has been for some time locked up from the public, and had become so scarce a book as scarcely to be known in the trade. It completes the sceneries of Capt. Batty, Cockburn, and Mr. Brockedon, and is the only pretty set of Views in Greece published in this country.

"Well entitled is Mr. Williams to call these views select; for they are so in every fine and high sense of the word. The choice of subjects, the exquisite beauty of the execution, and above all, the poetical feeling displayed, render them truly fascinating. Art seems to be carried here to its highest extent."

These exceedingly elaborate and beautiful plates have all the appearance of very highly finished drawings, and make most elegant decorations for the drawingroom, either in gilt frames or the portfolio. Their size, including the margins, is 16 inches by 21 inches, but they will frame somewhat smaller.

"This splendid work is now complete, and does equal honour to the genius of the artist, and the liberal spirit of the publishers. It is unequalled in its way, and will be long without a rival, whether bound as a volume, treasured in a portfolio, or framed for universal admiration. With all our respect for Prout, and some others, we must admit that there never was an artist who touched on Gothic Architecture with the same severe truth and fidelity as Mr. Wild."-Athenæum. "A most beautiful and magnificent series of Plates. No library of the slightest pretension to elegance ought to be without this splendid collection."-Literary. Gazette.
