JAMES ABBOTT McNEILL WHISTLER
SALIEXX l-^OIXXS IN HIS LIKE
Whistler was born, according to liis own statement, in St Peters-
burg, Russia, of American parents ; according to Cliamplin's
Cyclopedia of painters and jHiinfings^ Lippincott's liioyraphical
dictionary and Appleton's Cyclopedia of American hioyraphy \\\
Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1834. Mr Theodore C'hild in his article
in Harper* 8 magazine of September, 18S9, gives the artist's birth-
place as Baltimore, and a i)ersonal friend declares that he was born
in Stonington, Connecticut. It is said that Whistler delights in
keeping up the mystery of his nativity. His father was Major
George Washington Whistler, an engineer of wide reputation. His
mother was Anna Matilda McNeill, a daughter of Dr 0. D.
McXeill, of Wilmington, X. C
Several years of Whistler's early youth were spent in Russia;
his father, in 1842, having accepted the invitation of Emperor
Nicholas to superintend the construction of the St IY»tersburg and
Moscow railroad. Young Whistler came to America shortly after
his father's death in St I^etersburg, in April, 1849.
In 1851, at the age of 10 years and 11 months, he entered the
United States military academy, at West Point, receiving his
appointment as a delegate at large from President Fillmoiv.
His career at the academv was unsuccessful. At the end of his
first year his rank was 42 in a class of CO. In his second vear he
was absent on account of ill health, and was examined in only one
subject, drawing, in which he obtained the highest possible mark.
At the June examinations, 1854, his third year, he was found
deficient, and recommended for discharge. Throughout the three
years of his course Whistler's name appears in the West Point

4 GUIDE TO THE STUDY OF J. A. M. WHI8TLEB
Register very near the foot of the general demerit and conduct
rolls of his class.
It is not without interest to note that Major Marcus A. Reno,
who was dismissed from the United States army in 1S80, owing to
the official censure of his conduct during the Custer expedition
of 1876 against the Sioux Indians, was one of Whistler's classmates.
In less than two years after leaving West Point, Whistler went
to England, to remain, however, only for a short time.
In 1856, he was settled in Paris and hard at work in the studio
of the famous genre painter, Charles Gabriel Gleyre, where he
remained for two years and where he began in earnest his life's
work. Among his fellow students were George Du Maurier, Mr
Armstrong and Edward John Poynter, R. A., author of the
nmch discussed painting, Diadumene.
In 1859 and 1860, Whistler's paintings were refused at the Paris
salon.
Whistler settled in London in 1863, taking up his residence on
the Embankment, and beginning at once to draw his subjects from
scenes most nearly at hand, the life of the Thames.
It was in this same year, 1863, that he made a second attempt to
have his pictures hung in the Paris salon. They were rejected, but
the Salon des Refuses accepted them, thereby enabling him to
appeal against the judgment of the critics who had refused him
recognition. Among the accepted pictures was the White girl. It
did more for Whistler than make a sensation. It caused Paris to
speak of him as one of the " original " artists of the day.
In 1877, Whistler exhibited a collection of his works at the
Grosvenor gallery, London, on invitation of its owner, Sir Coutts
Lindsay.
In November, 1878, Whistler brought suit against Ruskin on the
ground that Ruskin had libeled him in a criticism on one of his
pictures exhibited at the Grosvenor gallery, called A nocturne in
black and gold ; a night view of Cremorne, with fireworks. The
criticism complained of appeared in Fora Claviyera^ and is as
follows :
" For Mr Whistler's own sake, no less than for the protection of
the purchaser. Sir Coutts Lindsay ought not to have admitted works
into the gallery in which the ill educated conceit of the artist so
UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK 5
nearly approached the aspect of wilful imposture. I have seen and
heard much of cockney impudence before now, but never expected
to hear a coxcomb ask 200 guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the
public's face."
Whistler claimed that this criticism had injurea the sale of his
paintings; Ruskin that it was simply a iaiv eiud bf ma Jide cnticism
on a painting which the plaintiff had exposed for public view.
The jury rendered a verdict against Ruskin, and placed the dam-
ages at one farthing.
In 188G Whistler was made president of the Society of British
artists.
On January 30, 1892, he was created an officer of the Legion of
Honor by the French govennnent.
Whistler has now, 1892, deserted England as he did America,
and spends nuxst of his time in Paris, where he receives more atten-
tion and where his works are more favorably criticized than in any
other of the .great art centers.
I^ERSONALIXY
Mr Whistler has always an electric manner, one feels it at once.
It is specially notable when he is standing at his easel with brain,
hand and eye all working in perfect sym])athy, inspired by the joy
and difficulty of his art. — Illustrated news^ Apr. 9, 1892, p. 348
He is a harum scarum genius ; keeps none of his work, makes no
records, gives no help to any one who wants to help him ; generally
makes no answers to letters.
. . . for I had hoped ... to have listened to his delightful
talk, which, though gay, witty and alert, is always simple, serious
and dignified when referring to the art he loves so well and prac-
tises with so sure a mastery. — Illustrated newSj Apr. 9, 1892,
p. 348

This list of etcliings is taken from Mr Wedmore's catalog, which
was kindly loaned for the purpose by Mr S. P. Avery, of New
York city. The catalog supplies almost a complete list of Whistler's
etchings from 1S57, when, as a young man in Paris, he issued his
first plate, to 1886, and is an invaluable aid to the collector or
student of Whistler. It gives under each subject a full description
of the etching, as far as possible the date of its execution, size,
exact signature, and other means of identification, proofs and
impressions, rarity, etc.
Mr Wedmore's catalog is also an excellent guide to Mr Avery's
Whistler collection, which contains all the etchings mentioned in it,
except nos. 56, 88, 98, 97, 99, 104-11, 113, 119, 127, 129, 133, 138,
139, 189, 191, 194, 19S, 202, 204, 205, 207, 210-12, and 214.
Collections of Whistler's etchings hang in the Queen's library at
Windsor and in the British nmseum.

SCHOOL
It is almost impossible to class Mr Whistler with any particular
Bchool. "His work'' . . . says Mr Brownell, "is . . .
now accepted as tyj)ical, and made to stand for a class of art, or at
least a manner of jminting, of which the friends and foes are ardent
and fluent." What this class is it is hard to say. He is most nearly
UNIVEK8ITT OP THE STATE OF NEW YORK 11
associated, perhaps, with the impressionist school, yet he is not an
impressionist in the strict sense of the word.
*• The impressionists," says Mr Hamerton, " are a new sect, com-
posed, as all new sects in painting invariably are, of young men who
have not yet definitely formed their styles. . . They go to
nature and receive an impression . . . and the purpose of their
art is to render the impression as a whole, without either the pain-
ful 8tudy of parts or any scientific arrangement of material." " In
other words," quoting Mr Brownell again, " impressionism implies,
first of all, impatience of detail. And, so far, Mr Whistler may
justly be called an impressionist. . . But to associate him with
a new sect, composed of young men who have not yet definitely
formed their style, would l>e absurd ; and an intimation that his works
are lacking in the study of parts or arrangement of material, would
be false."
CRITICISM
Perhaps the most typical painter and the most absolute artist of
the time. — Seribner^s mo7ithly^ 18 :495
His etchings are universally praised ; but his paintings are both
abused and admired. — Infernatlonal cyclopaedia
Nothing can be more foreign to his art then set purposes ; the song
of a bird is not more absolutely unconscious. — Scrihner'*8 montJily^
18 : 488
It would be difficult to find a better example of a pure painter,
a painter to whom art is so distinct a thing in itself, and so unre-
lated to anything else. — Scrlhier^B monthly^ 18 : 487
Mr Whistler's etchings attract a good deal of attention, and differ
from his paintings in meriting it. They display a free hand and a
keen eye for effect. Three of the oil pictures are blurred, foggy,
and imperfect marine pieces. The fourth is called the " White
girl,'' and represents a powerful female with red hair, and a vacant
stare in her soulless eyes. She is standing on a wolfskin hearthnig,
for what reason is unrecorded. The picture evidently means vastly
more than it expresses, albeit expressing too nmch. Notwithstand-
ing an obvious want of purpose, there is some boldness in the hand-
ling and a singularity in the glare of the colors which can not fail
to divert the eye, and to weary it. — H. T. Tuckekman, Book of
the ArtistSj p. 485
12 GUIDE TO THE STUDY OF J. A. M. WHISTLER
Tlie qualities of few painters are so distinct, and indeed one is
tempted to say aggressive. Every one will perceive in liis slightest
etcliiiig an effectiveness, an inipressiveness, a form which may or
may not justly be called eccentric, but which it is impossible not to
recognize as original. — Scn'bner^s monthly^ IS : ^S(S
One can scarcely be as admirable in all ways as Mr Wliistler is,
and still touch the highest point in any one way. — Serihner^s
monthly^ 18:495
Mr Whistler, in prose, is always pungent. Mr Whistler, in art,
is always suggestive in more ways than one. — Neio York tribune^
Mar. 20, 1892, p. 14, col. 6
Mr Whistler's suggestiveness is felt in the moods which his
etchings call up. It is this expressiveness, this going directly to the
core of the subject, this giving its fullest meaning to every line laid
on the copper, which discloses in Mr Whistler's best work his
affinity with Rembrandt and shows him to be an artist quickly
responsive to human feeling. — S. R. Kokhler, Etehimj^ p. 102
For with Mr Whistler's equipment, and energy and genius, the
surprising thing about him is that there should bo any discussion
concerning his position as a painter, that he should not have vindi-
cated his ability by something of unmistakably large importance. —
Scrihner'^s monthly^ 18:495
And the nature of his ideal is singularly pure and high. It is
this which, after all, finally measures an artist, the character of his
ideal, his attitude toward absolute beauty, his conception of what is
best in the visible world and the world that is to be divined. —
Scrihner'*8 monthly^ 18 : 488
Portrait of his mother. In the latter of the two portraits to
which I have already referred (that of his mother), there is an
expression of living character, an intensity of pathetic power, which
gives to that noble work something of the impressiveness proper to
a tragic or elegiac poem. — A. C. Swinburne, Fortnightly revieto^
49 : 745
White gfirl. The White girl is certainly a lovely picture, but its
loveliness has a marked individuality. Nothing could be more
delightful than the simplicity and delicacy of line and hue of this
figure, nothing more graceful than her attitude, or more subtly
charming than the broad harmonies worked out by the dark hair
UNIVERSITY OP THE STATE OF NEW YORK 13
and the lily, the wliite drapery, and the soft fur upon which she
stands. On the other hand, no one can fail to note the sense of
character which pervades its loveliness, and to observe how its
individuality is quite as strong as its beauty is charming. — W. C.
Brownell, Scrihner^s monthly^ 18:490

HISTORY OUTLINE OF THE 17th CENTURY
The 17th century is the period when Europe, shattered in its political
and religious ideas by the reformation, reconstructed its political system
upon the principle of territorialism under the rule of absolute monarchy.
It opens with Henry 4, it closes with Peter the Great. It reaches its
climax in Louis 14 and the Great Elector. It is therefore the century
in which the principal European states took the form and acquired the
position in Europe which they have held more or less to the present
time. — Wakeman p. i
Four main centers of interest in this century :
1 Catholic reaction in Germany leading to the 30 years* war with
the peace of Westphalia and its effect ;
2 Contest in England between the Stuart kings and parliament ;
3 Establishment of absolute monarchy in France and the struggle
of the other powers against Louis 14 ;
4 American colonies.
OUTLINE OF THE POLITICAL HISTORY
Germany — War rages for 30 years 1618-48 and leaves the country
in a helpless condition.
Prussia first rises into prominence under the Great Elector, Fred-
erick William.
The United Provinces hold a high place at this period and are en-
gaged in a long struggle with France.
Sweden is at the hight of her power and possessions.
Russia is rapidly rising and Poland is declining.
Austria increases her power in Italy and Hungary.
Turks press forward into Austria, from which they are driven out,
and make some important conquests in other parts ; but their power is
on the decline.
66 UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
England becomes one of the important states of Europe and besides
being engaged in civil and foreign wars, is planting colonies in America
and India.
Union of the crowns of England and Scotland takes place in 1603.
France under Louis 14 now becomes the leading power in Europe
and makes great accessions of territory.
Italy has fallen to a low condition. Savoy is slowly gaining in power,
and Venice is engaged in wars with the Turks.
Spain sinks to an inferior position.
Portugal is freed from the Spanish yoke in 1640 but is of little
account at this time.
America. Colonization is rapidly going on, the English and Dutch
taking the lead in planting new settlements. The Spaniards hold their
first conquests but with a rapid decline of power. The French lay claim
to the great territory beyond the New England possessions and are en-
gaged in frequent wars with the English in the new as in the old world.

he was accused had no existence. But the Wallenstein of German literature
and of popular opinion must always be a mystic astrologer, ready to sell his

University of the State of New York
Object. The object of the University as defined by law is to encour-
age and promote education in advance of the common elementary
branches. Its field includes not only the work of academies, colleges,
universities, ])rofessional and technical schools, but also educational work
connected with libraries, museums, university extension courses and
similar agencies.
The University is a supervisory and administrative, not a teaching
institution. It is a state department and at the same time a federation
of more than 800 institutions of higher and secondary education.
Government. The University is governed and all its corporate
powers exercised by 19 elective regents and by the governor, lieuteiiant-
governor, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction who
are ex officio regents. Regents are elected in the same manner as United
States senators ; they are unsalaried and are the only public officers in
New York chosen for life.
The elective officers are a chancellor and a vice-chancellor, who serve
without salary, and a secretary. The secretary is the executive and
financial officer, is under official bonds for $10,000, is responsible for the
safe keeping and proper use of the University seal and of the books,
records and other i)r(.>{)erty in charge of the regents, and for the proper
administration and discipline of its various offices and departments.
Powers and duties. Besides many other important powers and
duties, the regents have power to incorporate, and to alter or revoke the
charters of universiiies, colleges, academies, libraries, museums, or other
educational institutions; to distribute to them funds granted by the state
for their use ; to insi>ect their workings and require anriual reports under
oath of their presiding officers; to establish examinations as to attain-
ments in learning and confer on successful candidates suitable certificates,
diplomas and degrees, and to confer honorary degrees.
They apportion annually an academic fund of about $250,000, part for buy-
ing bO'»ks and apparatus for academies and high schools raising an equal
amount for the same purpose, $100 to each nonsectarian secondary school
in good standing and the remainder on the basis of attendance and the
results of instruction as shown by satisfactory completion of prescribed
courses for which the regents examinations afford the official test. The
regents also expend annually $25,000 for the benefit of free public
libraries.
Regents meeting^. I'he annual meeting is held the third Thurs-
day in December, and other meetings are held as often as business
requires. An executive committee of nine regents is elected at the
annual meeting to act for the board in the intervals between its meetings,
except that it can not grant, alter, suspend or revoke charters or grant
honorary degrees.
Convocation. The University convocation of the regents and the
officers of institutions in the University, for consideration of subjects of
mutual interest, has been held annually since 1863 in the senate chamber
in Albany. It meets Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after the fourth
Friday in June.
Though primarily a New York meeting, nearly all questions discussed
are of equal interest outside the state. Its reputation as the most im-
portant higher educational meeting ot the country has in the past few
years drawn to it many emment educators not residents of New York,
who are most cordially welcomed and share fully in all discussions. It
elects each year a council of five to represent it in intervals between
meetings. Its proceedings, issued annually, are of great value in all
educational libraries.

Mr Adams has executed his task as far as it has gone with great care ; the only
fear is, that to those not previously interested in Japan or the far east there may
be too mnch of detail and too many extracts from blue books and dispatches
vrbich are not attractive to the general reader. — Academy y May 1874, 5:593

gether in a clear and interesting shnpe. — Atheneumf May 1874, 63:623

The Japanese looks to the Shinto for his theology (save the mark!), to Confu-
cius for his moral instruction, and to Buddha for his salvation. In his introduc-
tion Dr Griffis makes clear the several functions fulfilled by these religions, and
traces their historical development and modification. . . It may he safelj said
that it is the best general account of the religions of Japan that has appeared in
the English language.— Critic, Mar. 1895, 23:236

The idea enforced and illustrated, Is that of the utter impersonality of the
Japanese mind.— Critic, Mar. 1895, 23:216
This work describes a distinct find by its brilliant author during a recent
sojourn in Japan, namely, of an elaborate system of possession trance practised
by one of the sects of Shinto, the ethnic faith of Japan. . . The treatise stands
a model of keen observation, deep insight, and scientific analysis, while over all
this rigidly scientific material and method is thrown the charm of style that
implies the blending of scientist a4)d poet. — Nationf Jan. 1895, 60: 98

OOTKRNMENT AND CONSTITUTION
From 5th to 7th century ruled by tribunes, 8th-i8th by doges. By
II 7 2, there were three councils. The great council, self-elective from the
outset, was closed in 1297 to all but the nobility. In 13 10 a council of 10
was associated with the doge and his six councilors for the punishment of
crimes against the state. The inquisition of state (' the Three ') was
organized in 1454, two members from the council of 10 and one from the
doges* council.

The sty le of the book is poetic, with a melancholy refrain running through

Tbongl) this is a poet's rather than a naturalist's book, fuller of deft fantasy
than of ornithology, and dropping more easily into a moral homily or a rustic

a painstaking volume of observations of natural snrn»utidings and is besides a
near and neighborly view of a new region, the southern shore of Lake Erie. —

READING LIST ON THE NETHERLANDS
PRBFACB3
The list of books submitted aims to cover the most desirable modern
works along the popular lines of history, description and art. The list is
intended for the reader who wishes general information on Holland,
rather than for the student who desires to specialize. The latter will
study his history by period rather than by country and will therefore
largely use parts of works, which, from a preponderance of other matter
contained in them, have no place in such a list as this.
In the department of history much additional matter bearing on
the subject may be found in the lives of military commanders, lives of
sovereigns of Spain, France, Austria, of the dukes of Burgundy and in
the history of those periods in which England either opposed or aided
Holland. Symond's Sir Philip Sydney \ Gothe' s £gmort/ ; Kirk's Charles
the Bold and Stirling-Maxwell's Don John of Austria are types of
these — a class which has been omitted as bearing only indirectly on
the subject. The historical works of Juste, the great Belgian historian,
are excellent, though they suffer from being a little out of date and some
of the best of them have not been translated. They will be of more
interest to the student than to the general reader. Schiller's Revolt of the
Neilierlands and his History of the jo years' war have been omitted as
being of literary rather than historical value.
Only enough has been included on the reformation to suggest that its
history is closely interwoven with that of the land where it found such
hospitable shelter and stimulus and the country which produced one of
its greatest leaders, Erasmus. Bacon's Genesis of New England
churches y Neale's History of the so called Jansenist church of Holland,
D'Aubigne's History of the reformation and a host of others treat of the
religious history of the country.
1 86 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY
Holland in proportion to her size has contributed very many of the
world's great lights in science and useful arts, as well as in the fine arts,
for which she is so famous. Gutenberg, the father of printing, Linnaeus,
the botanist, Spinoza, the philosopher, are names which testify to her
diversified alertness and progress. Bibliographic notes at the end of
cyclopedic articles will furnish the reader references to these men.
In the field of travel and description there are many works written at
the beginning of this century or during the closing years of the i8th,
which are in the form of journals or letters, stilted in style, and whose
place has been superseded by later volumes more readable in text and
supplied with interesting illustrations.
On the art side it has been found impossible to treat minor artists
individually. After one passes the greatest three, Rembrandt, Rubens
and van Dyck, it is useless to draw the line among the others except in
a list devoted exclusively to art. Readers wishing material on any
special artist should consult the general histories of art. Farrar's Art
topics and Abbott's Outlines furnish exact page references to the most
important artists. Valuable additional matter may be found in the files
of the Portfolio^ Magazine of art and other art periodicals.
Except in rare cases, juveniles will not be found in this list.
ABBRKVIATIONS
Abbreviations following the main entry refer to the libraries in which
the book was consulted or the sources from which the entry was taken.
Call numbers are given for all books in the New York state library, even
though the edition differs from that described in the list. Books in the
public libraries division have no book number.
Books marked e have been personally examined ; while e indicates that
the edition examined is not the same as the one entered on the list.
Periodicals have not been indexed. Poole's Index to periodical litera-
ture and the Cumulative index will furnish references to such material as
the magazines may contain.
The references following the note are intended as an index to more
extended reviews and notices which do not necessarily agree with the
compiler's estimates. Volume and page numbers are separated by a
colon; e. g. 3:145 means vol. 3, p. 145. When page citations do not
refer to the edition described, the edition to which they do refer is indi-
cated in a note.

the product of painstaking and profound research. His cbief merit lies in 908-
tained interest in the men and deeds be describes. Possessing an enthusiastic
love of freedom and hatred of tyranny ho has been criticized for partizansbip
and hero worship. But his prejudices are good bonest prejudices and recent in-
vestigations are only enhancing the value of his work. Motley remains the
great standard for tbe period he covers. In clearness of diction, strength of
characterization and dramatic power he has few equals.

of which the van Artevelds were the leaders and victims. James and Philip
van Arteveldi father and son, resisted the oppression of the rich burgher class
aud gained for the citizens of Flanders certain political freedom. Mr Ashley's
work is closely limited to his subject and he does not at all attempt a history of
Flanders. Within its limited scope, however, his book is more exhaustive than
Mr Hutton^s and examines tendencies and results in a different spirit. Mr Ashley
is a more painstaking aud scientific investigator and more cautious in his judg-
ment. Of the two this work is the more academic in style.

Introduces considerable minute detail of the history of Flanders, somewhat
detracting from the dramatic unity of the work. As the author sympathizes
with aristocracy he is under a disadvantage in defending his subjects and there
is lacking a hearty enthusiasm for the institutions for which the van Artevelds
stood. In portions the author is lax in choice of material and in form of
rx^ression. Mr Ashley's is the more satisfactory biography but both should bo
read by anyone wishing to understand the movement thoroughly.

The author intended these volumes as a link between the histories he had
already published and the even more important work he had in contemplation
on the 30 years war. They are an account of the years 1609-23. a time known in
the Netherlands as the 'Twelve years truce.' It was a period of intrigues,
between the prolonged conflict through which Holland had just passed and the
coming struggle which was to involve all Europe. It was not a period well
ailapted to Motley and this work will not rank with his others. Many of the
dcsciiptions are graphic but it is difficult for the reader to gain a clear conception
of the course of the narrative, of the cliaracter and policy of the man with
whom it deals or the real cause of his death. The volumes are somewhat drawn
out and lack the finish of his earlier work.

GKNKRAL. OUTLINE OF THE RENAISSANCE
By the term renaissance, is indicated a natural movement, not to be
explained by this or that characteristic, but to be accepted as an effort
of humanity for which at length the time had come, and in the onward
progress of which we still participate. The history of the renaissance is
not the history of aris, or of sciences, or of literature or even of nations.
It is the history of the attainment of self-conscious freedom to the human
spirit, manifested in the European races. It is no mere political muta-
tion, no new fashion of art, no restorati(m of classical standards of
taste. The arts and the inventions, the knowledge and the books, which
suddenly became vital at the time of the renaissance, had long lain
neglected on the shores of that Dead sea which we call the middle ages.
It was not their discovery which caused the renaissance ; but it was the
intellectual energy, the spontaneous outburst of intelligence, which
enabled mankind at that moment to make use of them. The force then
generated still continues, vital and expansive, in the spirit of the modern
world Sxmotids

GENERAL WORKS
From the first dawn of the renaissance to the death of Raphael, the
sister arts ruied a common territory, though in the atmosphere of the new
time, the intimate relations of painting and sculpture were dissolving ;
while their connection with architecture, which had likewise cast off some
of its restraints, saved them from a one-sided pursuit of individual goals.
Everything during that golden age seems held as by a fortunate balance
in perfect harmony, nor does creative genius in any period of art, the
most blooming period of Greece alone excepted, succeed in so glorifying
the earthly in its inspired word. — Liibke

ARCHITECTURE
In architecture alone, the mysticism of the middle ages, their vague
but potent feelings of infinity, their yearning toward a deity invisible but
localized in holy things and places found artistic outlet. Therefore arch-
itecture was essentially a medieval art. — Symonds
About 1500 began a second Periclean period, wherein architecture
brought forih works of the utmost importance and beauty. Toward the
year 1540 a cooler and more sober element began to prevail in architec-
tural designs. This was the transition to the closing period of the
renaissance. — Liibke

AKCHITKCTITRK IN ITALY
Three periods in the development of the renaissance work may be
roughly marked. The first extending from 142010 1500 is the age of
experiment and of luxuriant inventiveness. The second embraces the
first 40 years of the 1 6th century. The most perfect buildings of the
Italian renaissance were produced within this short space of time. The
third, from 1540 to 1580, leads onward to the reign of mannerism and
exaggeration called barocc o. — Symonds

It requires a great personality like Brunellcschi, who, of the lirae and
circumstances, yet rose superior to them, to lay the foundation of the
revival of the arts. In the greater intensity of the individuality of the
artist, lies one of the chief distinctions of renaissance architecture. —

Michelangelo was not properly speaking an architect. He made
architecture, which is (juite a ditTerent thing, and most often it was
the architecture of a iKiinter and a sculptor, which points to color,
breadth, imagination, but also to insufficient studies and incomplete
education. The thought may be great and strong, but the execution of
it is always weak and naive. — Charles (iarnier. IJoeuvre ft la vie

AKCHITECTIJRE IN FRANCK
After the beginning of the 15th century, a gorgeously rich aftergrowth
of the (xolhic began to unfold itself, designated by the French under the
name of the flamboyant style. The tracery of the windows is particularly
affected by this manner, being composed of flame-like curves. The clos-
ing epoch is marked by a richer decorative construction in secular build
ings and private houses. — Liibke

The work of Pierre Lescot is as rare as it is exquisite and noble; the
perished rood-loft of St (ierinain I'Auxerrois and the south-west angle
of the Louvre are the only buildings that we dare ascribe to him.

ARCHITECTURE IN ENGLANI)
Toward the beginning of the 15th century architectural style passes
completely into the perpendicular, adopting an element of fanciful geo-
metric work. Somewhere about 1450 there came into use the Tudor
arch, the arches of arcades and vaultings being covered with a profuse
decoration of pointed and scalloped work. England was not won by the
new style till very late, but the Gothic here experienced that exuber-
antly rii h revival which produced its masterpiece in the chapel of Henry 7.
In the latter half of the i6th century the clumsy but showy Elizabethan
style developed. — Liibke

PAINTING
Painting may be regarded as the supreme art of the renaissance world.
The new attitude of man toward nature found its most visible outcome in
the development of this art, which has for its function not merely the
reproduction of individual objects, like the plastic arts, but the present-
ment of visible nature at large. For fulness of spiritual meaning,
painting alone can adequately represent emotional life in its truest mani-
festations,— IVoltmann &* IVorniann

PAINTING IN ITAI.Y
As in ancient Greece so also in renaissance Italy, the fine arts assumed
the first place in the intellectual culture of the nation. But the thought
and feeling of the modern world required an esthetic medium more
capable of expressing emotion in its intensity, variety and subtlety, than
sculpture. Therefore painting was the art par excellence of Italy. —

Italian masters. Its author has been severely criticized, and there is still difler-

favor is becoming more general. The Xation speaks of his work as a *model of
art criticism* and Walter Armstrong cbaractcrized him as follows — *MorelIi*8
real strength lay in tbo independence of his judgment. He says plenty of things
which show bis claims to infallibility to be no better than those of many wbom
he criticized. It is when he is confronted with time-honored descriptions that
his strength comes out. He grasps the sense of the picture and perbaps gives a
name to it, which as soon as pronounced is seen to be right.'

Florentine school
Fra Angfiico, 1387-1455
(Guido di Pictro, called also Fra Cjiovanni da Fiesole and il Beato)
Fra Angelico belonged to an earlier age, a simpler and more
believing, if a less progressive one; the technical improvement and anti-
Christian tendency of art during his latter years in no wise affected his
essential, imaginative spirituality ; it remained precisely what it was and
even anticipated the result of the struggle by drawing additional vigor
from the contact. This constitutes the essential difference between Fra
Angelico and his contemporaries. — Lord Lindsay
In Angelico you have the entirely spiritual mind, incapable of con-
ceiving any wickedness whatever. He was enabled to express the
sacred affections upon the human countenance as no one ever did before
or since. — Ruskin

(Tommaso di Gioranni di Simone Guidi, called Masaccio)
Of the many illustrious painters who flourished in the 15th century,
Masaccio was undoubtedly the one whose genius has had the greatest
influence on the progress of painting and who approaches the nearest
to that high standard of perfection, which was achieved by the great
masters of the i6th century. This is the more extraordinary when we
consider the early age at which he died and the small number of works
which he appears to have left behind him. — Sir A, H: Layard
Foremost among the pioneers of renaissance painting, towering above
them all, by head and shoulders, like Saul among the tribes of Israel,
stands Masaccio. Between his style in the Brancacci chapel and that of
Raphael in the Vatican, there seems to be but a narrow gap, which
might perchance have been passed over by this man if death had spared
him. — Symonds

Fra Filippo Lippi's chief excellence was that which distinguished him
as the greatest colorist and the most complete master of the technical
difhcullies in art of his time. He may not have stoically held to the
severely great maxims which signalized the genius of Masaccio, his
teacher, but he gave luxurious attraction to his works by a charm of color
in which he may claim to have been unicjue. In his effort to reproduce
the reality, however, he did not aim at the rotundity of nature but pre-
ferred the characteristic flatness usual in bas-relief. — Crowe ^ Cavel-

Signorelli was one of the first Tuscan artists who designed figures with
a true knowledge of anatomy, though somewhat dryly. The cathedral of
Orvieto evinces this, and those naked figures which even Michelangelo
has not disdained to imitate. Although in most of his works, we do not
discover a proper choice, nor a sufficient harmony of coloring, there are
beauty, grace and tints approaching to modern excellence. — Lanzi

Sandro Botticelli was the only painter of Italy who understood the
thought of heathens and Christians equally, and could in a measure paint
both Aphrodite and the Madonna. — Ruskin
Ir order to achieve that complete sensation of suave and cadcnced
movement, Botticelli must have toiled infinitely. It is not in the propi-
tious fever of a happy moment that such works as his are created, but by
the long effort of an imaginative and receptive mind tenacious of its ideal,
and by the mature and untiring energy of a temperament richly and
delicately endowed both physically and emotionally. Such was the
mind and such the temperament of Sandro Botticelli. — Child

Raphaely 1483-1520
(Raffaello Santi)
In his life and in his work, in his ardor for knowledge, in his in-
stinctive love for beauty and in the large serenity of his art, Raphael
represents the best and highest aims of the renaissance. In him the
world saw an artist whose own beautiful and gracious nature was in per-
fect harmony with his dreams, whose creations draw the soul insensibly
into likeness and sympathy with the beauty of reason. — Julia Cartwrighi

modeling. He docs not, like Bartolommeo, look at his subjects from the
point of view of a deep religious feeling and a high ideal conception, but
rather from that of worldly grace and loveliness. — Liibke

Titian aimed neither at strictness of expression nor at forcible
development of form, nor even at ideal beauty, though all these qualities
were within his grasp. The austere and glowing force of Giorgione
resolves itself in Titian into a free and serene beauty — a pleasing and
noble idea of nature ; it is life in its fullest power — the glorification of
earthly existence, the liberation of art from the bonds of ecclesiastical
dogmas. — Kiigler

Lorenzo Lotto^ 1480?-! 556?
Lorenzo Lotto was the first Italian painter who was sensitive to the
varying states of the humari soul ; this makes him preeminently a psy-

are most like him. His spirit is more like our own than is perhaps that
of any other Italian painter and it has all the appeal to fascination of a
kindred soul in another age. — Beraisofi

Leonardo da Vinci ^ 1452*1519
Leonardo da Vinci stands alone in the history of art, as one who both
conceived and realized ideals which were wholly independent from the
antique. Leonardo was the first who ventured to base all art instruction
exclusively and entirely upon the study of nature, and it is not too
much to say that in his genius the aims of his numerous predecessors cul-
minate, making art no longer dependent on tradition, but more on
the immediate study of nature herself. — T. P, RichUr

Mantegna belongs to the foremost rank. There is such a depth of
sentiment in his pictures, such a nobility in his features that we feel at
once, he was not a man to be surpassed or imitated, but a nature whose
animating influence must have been felt by all. Mantegna is the victim
of a certain formality, which was only overcome by Leonardo and
Michelangelo, through whose two-fold influence, Raphael afterwards
obtained his happy freedom ; but this does not prevent us from ranking
Mantegna with these three. This was the opinion in Italy also from the
first. — Hermann Grimm

(Antonio AUegri da Corrcgsio)
Correggio was a colorist and chiaroscurist of the highest order ; as a
colorist he was unequaled in Italy outside of Venice; as a chiaroscurist
he was an Italian Rembrandt. To those who think superficially
Correggio is an arch-idealist ; to those who reason more carefully he is
an arch-realist, but it is realism by selection applied only to the beautiful.

PAINTING IN GER3I4NY
In comparing the 15th century with the i6th, we perceive that where
the painters of the earlier period strove in vain to translate their knowl-
edge into practice — where they frittered away their power in laborious
details, and h\ spite of their finished realism and deep spiritual feeling,
remained angul ir, fettered and hard — their successors found freedom
and glow ani rose to the conception of typical beauty without being
false to nature. The realism of the 15th century was objective; it dwelt
on the individualization of the persons represented. That of the i6th
was subjective ; it aimed at revealing the mind of the painter. — IVo//-

Martin Sihongattcr^ 1440-88
Martin Schongaucr stood at the dividing line between medieval art and
the fulness of the renaissance. He foreshadowed the grotesqucness and
mystic ism of a later time, he also foreshadowed the devotion to detail
that was at last to merge into the modern passion for genre painting. —

another soft and delicate; now flying in the face of all feeling for the

nature, he exercised an extraordinary influence on early German art and

Lucas Cnittdili, the elder, 1472- 1 553
It is very difficult to estimate Lucas (!ranach justly. To class him
with Diirer or Holbein is to rank him too highly and yet when we survey
the sum total of his work, we are forced to regard him as little short of a
master of the first eminence in his way — a way that was thoroughly
original, thoroughly German and thoroughly popular. — UWtmann &*

PAINTING IN THE NBTHERI.ANDS
The distinguishing trait which decides the position of painting in the
Low countries, is its realism both of form and color. While the Italian
school slowly evolved from the Byzantine, based on the antique tradition
of the ideal, the Dutch, alien in history as in temperament to this poetic
descent, took root and grew rapidly and vigorously from the beginning,
in direct inspiration of nature. — Nation

Hubert van Eyck^ I366?-I426 and Jan van Eyckj 1381-1440
The new impulse that was given to art in the Netherlands at the
beginning of the 15th century was given by the two Flemish brothers
Hubert and Jan van Eyck. The great success of these masters, it has
been asserted, was wholly owing to their invention of a better medium
for painting — to their discovery, as it has been called, of the secret of oil
painting; but no one who has studied the work of Jan van Eyck, can
doubt that the real secret of his admirable painting, lay not in the
mechanical medium he used but in the genius of the man who used it

Roger van der Weydcn is a central figure among the 15th century
artists of the Low countries. Jan van Eyck was both a greater man and
a greater artist than Roger, but Roger was the greater master. The
leading painters of the second half of the century were either directly or
indirectly pupils of his. He was the agent who took the new principles
of Jan van Flyck and gave them currency not in the Netherlands alone,
but throughout Germany and even Italy. — Conway

Memling was more ideal than the van Eycks and more skilful

employed by Memling appears to have been peculiar to himself. His
contemporaries employed much impasto, and he, though he worked in
oil, adhered to and applied the earlier traditions of the tempera painters. —

PAINTING IN FRANCK
In all the early French art is apparent a marked personality of motive.
French art of the 15th century was so overborne by here Italian and
there Flemish influence, however, as to be well-nigh stupid. Of the i6th
century the prominent characteristic was the assertion of the individual.
This was the first real revelation to France of the art of Italy. — Mrs

PAINTING IN SPAIN
The latter half of the 15th century was the period when Spanish art
began to assert itself in a more or less tentative way. Painting in Spain
after Gothic conventionalties were dropped, resolves itself into three
schools. There was the school of Castile originating at Toledo at some
imperfectly ascertained date in the 1 5th century. Then the school of
Andalusia with its center at Seville. Valencia gives its name to the
third principal school of Spain which took its rise near the close of the
X5th century. — Shthert

CHARACTER OF THE PERIOD
During the 15th century a change as subtle and indefinable as it was
significant came over the spirit of European society. Without sharp
break with the past, involving no strictly new creation, no sudden or
unheralded revolution of ideas, gradually rose an altered mode of viewing
man^ the world, life, far less theological than the old, less respectful to
HISTORY OF LATTER HALF OF 15th CENTURY 279
tradition, more confident in man's powers and future, in fine —
human. — E. B. Andrews
In this period monarchy, especially in France, England and Spain,
acquires new strength and extension. The period includes the reigns of
three kings who did much to help forward this change, Louis 1 1 of
France, Henry 7 of England, and Ferdinand, the Catholic, of Spain. The
Italian wars begin with the French invasion of Italy; the rivalship of
the kingdoms and the struggles pertaining to the balance of power are
thus initiated. In this period fall new inventions which have altered the
character of civilization, and great geographical discoveries, of which the
discovery of the New world is the chief. It is the epoch, moreover, of
the renaissance, or the reawakening of learning and art. There is a new
era in culture. All these movements and changes foretoken greater
revolutions in the age that was to follow. — G: P. Fisher

BEST BOOKS OF 1897
WITH NOTES
Public Libraries Division
FRRFATORY NOTE
This is an annotated list of 212 books published in the United States
in 1897, selected by the Book board of the New York state libwry and
recommended to the public libraries of the state. To aid in the choice
of small collections of new books three classes are marked. Books
marked a^ of which there are 20, are suggested to libraries which must
confine their additions within narrow limits. 30 others marked b are also
proposed to libraries prepared to buy 50 books, and 50 more marked c
may be added to a and b to make up 100 books.
The remaining 112, including reference books and a few more costly
publications, are worthy of careful consideration by libraries prepared to
buy more than 100 books and by those wishing to enlarge their resources
in special subjects. Many of the unmarked books are of the highest merit.
Decimal classification numbers are prefixed as a guide to libraries using
this system.
Copies of this list may be obtained from the Public libraries
division, Albany, N. Y.

Dedication to Joan, Toddle and Tiny
Hani is the path from A to Z,
And puzzling to a curly head ;
Yet leads to books green, blue and red.
For every child should understand
That letters from the first were planned
To guide us into Fairy land.
So labor at your alphabet.
For by that learning shall you get
To lands where fairies may be met.
And going, where this pathway goes,
You too, at last, may find, who knows ?
The garden of the singing rose.
And rew L a \ ( ;, ) 'ellonv fairy book

INDEX TO SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES
IN
LIBBABT BULLETINS TO OECBBIBEB 31, 1897
PBKFATOBY NOTK
This index duplicates a few entries in Whitney's Cataiogtie of the bibliog-
raphies of special subjects in the Boston public library^ but these entries
were included to make a complete index to the library bulletins examined.
In general, titles of the bibliographies have been given only when they
differ from the headings under which they are entered. Bulletins on
special subjects are not included.
The list of abbreviations which follows gives the titles, volumes and
dates of the 48 bulletins indexed. All these bulletins have been per-
sonally examined, and for convenience the New York state library call
numbers have been added. Omission of book number indicates that
the set is not yet bound.
Entries are chronologic under each subject. Volume and page num-
bers are separated by a colon; e. g. 3 : 145 means vol. 3, p. 145. When
each bulletin is paged separately reference is made to volume, number
and page; e. g. 11, no. 4: 2 means vol. 11, no. 4, p. 2.
A manuscript supplement brings this index to date and any criticisms
or suggestions for making the index more useful are invited and will be
carefully considered before printing another edition, if sent to Melvil
Dewey, State Library, Albany, N. Y.

READING LIST ON RUSSIA
PRKFACE
The list of books submitted aims to cover the most desirable modern
works in English on the history, description, religion, literature and art
of that part of the empire of Russia known as Russia of all the Russias.
Other Russias are treated only in their relation to the empire ; Siberia
is excepted.
Much additional matter may bejbund in works written- during the first
half and middle of the century. The student will find valuable Hax-
thausen's Russian empire, which was the first book to reveal to the outer
world the social condition of the country. It shows thorough and wise
observation. Schnitzler's Secret history of the court and government of
Russia under the emperors Alexander and Nicholas portrays the diffi-
culties in Russia that led to the revolts of 1825, the * Dekabrist riot ' and
the consequent policy of Nicholas. It is the best authority on Russian
affairs during the present century. Baron von Herberstein's Notes on
Russia is a translation of Rerum Muscoviticarum commentari, a valu-
able account of early Russia. The Memoirs of Catherine 2 expose
the barbarity and brutality of the court of Peter 3, nowhere more
graphically portrayed.
Segur's History of Russia and leter the Great is valuable as a summary
of that dreary portion of the early annals of Russia. It is written in a
faulty and indirect style. Labbaurae's Circumstantial narrative of the
campaign in Russia is one of the best descriptions of that period.
Voltaire's Russia is a graceful summary of knowledge possessed a
century ago. Kelly's History of Russia is a meritorious compilation of
Karamzin and Tooke.
Further material bearing on foreign relations may be found in general
histories of Europe and of European countries and their rulers — specially
of Great Britain in relation to the Crimea, the Eastern question and
Central Asia, and of France under Napoleon i.
434 NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY
The literature must attract our attention because of its intimate con-
nection with the social, political and historical problems which are
occupying the mind of Europe to-day. In no other country have so
many prominent writers devoted themselves to bringing to light the
conditions, needs and hopes of the toiling masses. At the bottom of
the Russian revolution the fiction is exerting a powerful influence.
With Herzen*s novel the tendencies of nihilism were first revealed, with
Tchemichewsky's they became fixed. The novels of Gogol and
Turgenev overthrew serfdom while those of Dostoyefsky, TolstoY,
Gontchrof and Tcherdrine are the documents historians will consult
when the great works concerning the revolution and old society shall be
written. Some of these are not available in English and are therefore
omitted in the list of books.
A guide to novels and folk tales relating to life in Russia easily acces-
sible to the general reader may be found in Griswold's Descriptive list of
novels and tales dealing with life in Russia, In poetry no translation
can be adequate, for the charm vanishes with the translator's touch.
Warner's Library of the world^s best literature contains valuable critical
and biographical sketches and selections.
In the field of art the scarcity of books available to the English reader
renders valuable the analytics in general works of art. Unfortunately
Viollet-le- Due's Z*a/-/^f/xi<f is not translated into English; the student
will find it a thorough and critical analysis of Russian decorative art.
Schwarz' Uart Russe contains pictures with descriptive text.
Periodicals have not been indexed ; Poole's Index to periodical literature
and the Cumulative index will furnish references. In general no attempt
has been made to give other forms of names under which a translated
work is published.
A BBRE VI ATIONg
Abbreviations following tbe main entry refer to the libraries in which the
book was consulted or sources from which the entry was taken. Call numbers
are given for all books in the New York state library, even though the edition
differs from that described in the list. Books in the public libraries division
have no book number. Books marked C have been personally examined, while 6
indicates that the edition examined is not the same as that entered in the list.
Unsigned notes are by the compiler ; where the source of a note is given it is
not necessarily quoted exactly, but is sometimes given only in substance. The
references following the notes are guides to more extended reviews and notices.
Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon ; e. g. 6 : 170 means vol.
6, p. 170.
The following are the principal abbreviations used. Others are self-
explanatory.

BEST BOOKS OF 1898
WITH NOTES
Public Libraries Division
PBEFATORY NOTE
This is an annotated list of 205 books published in the United States
in 1898, selected by the Book board of the New York state library and
recommended to the public libraries of the state. To aid in the choice
of small collections of new books three classes are marked. Books
marked ar, of which there are 20, are suggested to libraries which must
confine their additions within narrow limits. 30 others marked b are also
proposed to libraries prepared to buy 50 books, and 50 more marked c
may be added to a and b to make up 100 books.
The remaining 105, including reference books and a few more costly
publications, are worthy of careful consideration by libraries prepared to
buy more than 100 books and by those wishing to enlarge their resources
in special subjects. Many of the unmarked books are of the highest
merit. Decimal classification numbers are prefixed as a guide to libraries
using this system.
Copies of this list may be obtained from the Public libraries
division, Albany, N. Y.

COLLEGE LIBRARIES IN THE UNITED STATES
CONTRIBUTION TOWARD A BIBLIOGRAPHY
College catalogues and presidents' reports have been omitted from
this list as have also articles devoted largely to other matter relating to
colleges. Thus library statistics in the World and New York tribune
almanacs, annual reports of the United States bureau of education,
College year-book^ etc. have been omitted.
The arrangement is alphabetic under the heads ** General articles "
and " Individual colleges.'' Under each college historical and descriptive
matter relating to the library has been placed first and where the
amount of material made it advisable a separate group has been made
of reports, circulars, etc. arranged chronologically; these are followed
by library catalogues, bulletins, etc. in chronologic order.
The material for the list has been obtained in the following libraries :
New York state, Library of congress, Harvard university, Boston public,
Boston Athenaeum.
Call numbers are given for all books in the New York state library.
The class number only is given for books not yet added to the card cata-
logue. Books in the New York state law library are marked Law
library. Books marked e have been personally examined; for those
marked f the entries were furnished by the respective institutions. A •
before an entry indicates that it has been taken from C: A. Cutter's " List
of printed catalogues of public libraries " in Public libraries in the United
States, 1876, 1 : 577-622, and has not been verified. Volume and page
numbers are separated by a colon ; e. g. 6 : 170 means vol. 6, p. 170.
The following are the principal abbreviations used. Others are self-
explanatory.
Bost. Boston public library
Congress Library of congress
Harv. Harvard university library

NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY
Owing to the extent of the subject, limited time and the large number
of indirect sources from which data were secured the list is necessarily
incomplete and the compiler therefore requests that any additions or
corrections noted be sent to him at the Library of congress, Washington,
D. C.

READING LIST ON HOUSE DECORATION AND
FURNISHING
The list of really good authorities on this subject is a small one. It
is true that " any specific advice in regard to furnishing and decorating
is apt to be ludicrously unpractical ; " but it is also true that " every
fresh suggestion has its value '' though it may not exactly suit the taste
or convenience of the reader who receives the suggestion. Mrs Alice
Morse Earless advice on this class of books is admirable. She says :
" Get the book and learn what you can from it, but reserve to yourself a
very keen judgment about many things that it advises."
ABBREVIATIONS
Call uuiiibers are given for all books in the New York state library even
though, the edition differs from that described in the list. Books in the home
education department have no book number. Books marked 6 have been per-
))onaIlj examined, while e indicates that the edition examined is not the same as
that entered in the list.
The source of critical notes is given, whether (quoted exactly or given in
substance ; unsigned notes are by the compiler. Volume and page numbers are
separated by a colon ; e. g. 3: 145 means vol. 3, p. 145.

Intended for school workshops, but its directions for simple carpenter work
and the making of book shelves and tables are excellent and are illustrated
with 94 drawings. The soundest principles of design are explained in simple
language and well enforced. This part of the book is important, because
there is a strong t-endency in our times toward mere taking of designs from
old works. This shows how designs are made originally. The final chapter
gives good general ideas as to coloring, and a long bibliography is added. —
