Excerpt from Examples of the Works of Art in the Museum and of the Decorations of the Building With Brief Descriptions The work has been issued in monthly parts, twenty-two in all each containing eight plates. Although the collection of etched plates in the possession of the Department has not been exhausted, it is believed that the selection already made is fairly representative of each type of Industrial Art comprised in the Museum collection that admits of reproduction by this method: and it is not proposed (at least for the present) to carry on this work beyond the present volume. Among the plates selected in the later parts will be found three representations from the important collection of Florentine portrait-busts in terra cotta of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Successful attempts have lately been made in Italy to revive this branch of the sculptor's art, and there seems no reason why good work of the same kind should not be produced in this country. Several examples are given from a collection of designs for silver smiths' work, &c., preserved in the Art Library, and attributed to early Italian artists. These, it is hoped, will be found suggestive. It should be noted that the etching of the design by Mr. W. B. Scott, for two panels of windows in the Pottery Gallery of the Museum, on Plate 25, is the work of Mr. Scott himself.
