but more particularly of Manet, to the study and
appreciation of whose talents he has devoted
numerous articles and some excellent books. He
has at all times been a collector of works by
masters whose art pleased him, and his purchases
are invariably guided by a rare happiness of selec-
tion ; hence it is that his collection is one of the
finest and choicest in Paris. H. F.
