Excerpt from Albert Durer The present volume, then, is not the result of new research; nor is it an abstract resuming historical and critical discoveries on its subject up to date. Of this latter there are several already before the British public; the former, as I said, it was not for me to attempt. Nor do I feel my book to be altogether even what it was intended to be; but am conscious that too much space has been given to the enumeration of Durer's principal works and the events of his life without either being made exhaustive.

Finds a further illustration in division iii. Of chapter 4, Part II. And that division vi., chapter 1, Part II., should be taken as prefatory to chapter 1, Part IV.
