Heda's Banquet Piece, Frans Hals' Willem Coymans, and Rembrandt's Lucretia. Paintings by these and other masters attracted the American collectors P. A. B. Widener, his son Joseph, and Andrew W. Mellon, whose bequests form the heart of the National Gallery's distinguished and remarkably cohesive collection of ninety-one Dutch paintings.
Excerpt from A Catalogue Raisonne of the Works of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters of the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 1 The advantages of a critical and descriptive catalogue of works of art need no discussion. It is generally agreed by experts that one cannot pass judgment on the work of an artist unless one knows his productions, and that ones judgment will gain in precision with the extent of one's knowledge. Those paintings which have not found a permanent home in public collections tend more and more to be scattered over the wide world. For the individual student it becomes, therefore, a task of increasing difficulty to gain a complete knowledge of these works from personal inspection. Not only are pictures banished to California, South Africa, or Australia; they may also at a public sale pass through an intermediary into the hands of a recluse, so that for a generation or longer they may be hidden from the view of the amateur of art. The only method of preserving these vagrant pictures for the benefit of students is to reproduce them, or, as reproduction is in most cases impossible, to describe them. The English picture-dealer John Smith was the first to recognise this fact, or, rather, to carry out the idea in a practical way.

Excerpt from A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters of the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 3 Tms volume contains the descriptions of the works of Frans Hals, the two Ostades, and Adriaen Brouwer. It has been compiled on the same principles as were followed in the first and second volumes, to the prefaces of which it is enough to refer. But I must make some remarks on two points. The first is the relation of the English edition to the German. The English edition contains additions, especially on pp. 224 246 of the second volume, for which I cannot assume any responsibility. Several of the pictures there attributed to A. Cuyp were known to me, but had been purposely omitted because I did not and do not believe in their authenticity. Arrangements have been made to avoid such differences between the two editions in future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
