Description:Excerpt from Scottish Painting Past and Present, 1620 - 1908:In the preparation of this history and criticism of Scottish painting I have of course been greatly indebted to previous workers in the same field or some part of it. To Sir George Chalmers (article in The Weekly Magazine, Patrick Gibson (view of the Arts in Great Britain: Edinburgh Annual Register, Allan Cunningham and John Burnet amongst the earlier writers; to Alexander Fraser, R.A.M. Stevenson, J.M. Gray, my predecessor at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and Robert Brydall, of those recently dead; and to Sir Walter Armstrong, Mr. E. Pinninton, and Mr. Bulloch, I owe much; but while I have availed myself of their investigations, it has been my endeavour to verify the evidence, and in doing so I have been fortunate enough to obtain fresh facts of interest, and, by relating them to what was known already, to throw new light upon the art and career of several men. During the ten or twelve years the book has been growing in my hands, I have made a point, also, of criticising nothing I have not seen, and of tracing, from the pictures themselves, the relationship of one man's work to another's, and the evolution of each painter's style.About the Publisher: Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
