DEDICATION

TO

SIR AUGUSTUS WALL CALLCOTT, R. A.
&c. &c« &c.

Dear Sir,

The endeavour of the present work is to fix
and develope, for the benefit of the Amateur
and the Student, some of the acknowledged
general principles of Colouring as a means of
Art, without reference to the purposes to which
such Art shall be applied,—without reference
to poetical expression or character, or to the
imitation of the details of Nature, which are
requisite for the production of great works.
