y arranged for this purpose, with suitable headings in bold-faced type, and a copious index. Teachers and students will find it a capital thing for the purpose."--PICAYUNE, NEW ORLEANS. A History of Sculpture, BY ALLAN MARQUAND, Ph. D., L. H. D. AND ARTHUR L. FROTHINGHAM, Jr., Ph. D. Professors of Archaeology and the History of Art in Princeton University.
