THE SCOTTISH PAINTERS

A CRITICAL STUDY

BY

WALTER ARMSTRONG, B.A. Oxon.

AUTHOR OF "ALFRED STEVENS," ETC.

WITH MANY ILLUSTRATIONS

PRESS OPINIONS

"A valuable contribution towards that much needed work, the history of British art.... Of the illustrations, reproducing many of the finest specimens of Scottish art, it need only be said that they are in every way worthy of the publishers of the 'Portfolio.'"—Morning Post.

"We welcome the work with pleasure, and feel certain it will receive a cordial reception at the hands of all interested in Scottish art. Much might be said in praise of the manner in which the publishers have issued the work from the press.... There are fifteen page etchings or photogravures of pictures by the more famous of our Scottish artists, each in itself a very desirable work of art, and greatly enhancing the value of the volume."—Scotsman.

"This part of Mr. Armstrong's study every lover of art will read with pleasure, and every Scotsman with pride.... Mr. Armstrong's study is deserving of a hearty welcome, not only for its literary merit, not only for the soundness of its criticism, but also for its refutation of those who would minimise the artistic powers of the Scotch."—Glasgow Herald.
