Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Apollo: Illustrated Manual of the History of Art Throughout the Ages The universal success and popularity achieved by M. Salomon Reinach's manual of art-history, which is now in its third French edition, and has been translated into all European languages, have made it the publishers pleasant duty to prepare a new edition of his version. This appeared two years ago under the title The Story of Art throughout the Ages. Apollo, the name of the French original, with its implied relation to Minerva, an earlier work by the same author, was not retained in the first English issue, as it was supposed it might not clearly indicate the general scope of the work to the English-speaking public. But the book is now so widely known that there is no longer any occasion for a gloss, and the publisher gladly reverts to M. Reinach's graceful and suggestive title. The new edition has been carefully revised by the author. A number of interesting illustrations have been added, certain unsatisfactory blocks have been replaced by new ones, and the bibliographies have been expanded and brought up to date. The slight additions made, with the author's approval, in the sections dealing with British artists and art-treasures, are indicated in the present issue by square brackets.
