WHOSE UNWAVERING FAITH, AND WHOSE KEEN APPRECIATION OF "THE GOOD, THE TRUE AND THE BEAUTIFUL" HAVE

LIST OF AUTHORITIES.

In addition to the list of authorities given in Vol. I., I would add Mrs. Jameson's valuable works on Art, "Memoirs of Italian Painters," "Sacred and Legendary Art," and "Legends of the Madonna;" Kugler's "Handbook of Painting;" "Ancient Rome in the Light of Modern Discoveries," by Lanciani; for synopsis of the Bible, "Manual of Christian Doctrine," edited by Rt. Rev. Wm. Croswell Doane; "Rome," by Francis Wey. I am also largely indebted to the Bureau of General Information, Corcoran Building, Washington, D. C., for very efficient aid, and to Prof. James D. Butler, of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, for reading the manuscript, and for allowing me to append his kind note of favorable comment.
