Treatise on Art Consisting of Essays on the Education of the Eye, Practical Hints on Composition, and Light and Shade (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Treatise on Art: Consisting of Essays on the Education of the Eye, Practical Hints on Composition, and Light and Shade In reprinting Burnet's famous Art Essays, we have done this with the idea of placing the book before students and lovers of Art and marketing it at a price within the reach of those of moderate means. The illustrations have been taken from the original editions published in 1822, 1826 and 1887 and the text re-set from new types. No alterations have been made in Burnet's phraseology and it is verbatim. Our original edition we secured after many difficulties, as the book has been out of print for so many years, and it is with gratification that we launch this edition to an appreciate public.
