Excerpt from Historical Handbook of Italian Sculpture In preparing this volume for the press from materials already made use of in a larger work on the same subject, and from those which have been added to the common stock of informa tion since its publication, I have thought it best to speak of Pre-revival sculpture throughout Italy in an introductory chapter, and to begin the work - proper with the Revival.
