Excerpt from Hand-Book of Literature and the Fine Arts Tm: character of this work is fully set forth in the title-page, yet a few words of introduction still seem necessary, further to elucidate its general scope and aim. The design of the compilers has been to furnish the reading community, and more especially the large class of students in our colleges and seminaries of learning, with a comprehensive handbook or lexicon of all branches of Literature and Art. A work of this kind has long been needed. The great aim of all modern systems of instruo tion is to present knowledge in as concise and accessible a form as pos sible, and bring the results of many different theories and systems into forms of practical convenience. In this respect the present work will be found adapted to the purposes of the author, the artist, the student of any learned profession, and the reader. No technical term of general use in any of the departments it includes will be found wanting, while many words, which in a strict sense belong neither to literature nor art, have been added on account of some peculiar association or application.
