visitors and thereby produce deep an Impression
As possible. Much attention has been bestowed upon

and useful document. modelled after The Pall NAH
Gazettos7 catalogue to the National Gallery In London

sorts Of comment and quotation upon the subjects OF
the pictures are included In this catalogue from Dryden
down TO Professor Huxley. predatory note states
that the catalogue is not intended for connoSsers or
artists but for the common people, for whom It's
