should on no
account leave unread this is surely one."--_The Studio_.

"His book is one of the best books about pictures that have come
into our hands for some years."--_St. James's Gazette_.

"If there is an art critic who knows exactly what he means and says
it with exemplary lucidity, it is 'G.M.'"--_The Sketch_.

"A more original, a better informed, a more suggestive, and let us
add, a more amusing work on the art of to-day, we have never read
than this volume."--_Glasgow Herald_.

"Impressionism, to use that word, in the absence of any fitter
one,--the impressionism which makes his own writing on art in this
volume so effective, is, in short, the secret both of his likes and
dislikes, his hatred of what he thinks conventional and mechanic,
together with his very alert and careful evaluation of what comes home
to him as straightforward, whether in Reynolds, or Rubens, or Ruysdael,
in Japan, in Paris, or in modern England."--Mr. Pater in _The Chronicle_.

"As an art critic Mr. George Moore certainly has some signal
advantages. He is never dull, he is frankly personal, he is untroubled
by tradition."--_Westminster Gazette_.

"Mr. Moore, in spite of the impediments that he puts in the way of
his own effectiveness, is one of the most competent writers on painting
that we have."--_Manchester Guardian_.

"His [Mr. Moore's] book is one that cannot fail to be much talked
about; and everyone who is interested in modern painting will do well
to make acquaintance with its views."--_Scottish Leader_.

"As everybody knows by this time, Mr. Moore is a person of strong
opinions and strong dislikes, and has the gift of expressing both in
pungent language."--_The Times_.

"Of his [Mr. Moore's] sincerity, of his courage, and of his candour
there can be no doubt.... One of the most interesting writers on art
that we have."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
