...good average quality, but Mr. Bullard's collection contains a greater number of prints of rare excellence. In fact, two-thirds of this series consists of either first states or the only states of the plates represented. Nanteuil was the greatest master of pure line engraving of his age, and no such engraving of any time is superior to his. He was himself a portraitist of consummate skill, and many of these engravings are from his own works...

...knew that Mr. Norton was nearing his eightieth birthday, but I was instinctively putting it off some years longer, and it needed your reminder to make me realize that it fell next month. Whatever his age, there was something in the early maturity of his power which keeps him enduringly young; the keen insight, the critical acumen, the generous sympathy, remain undimmed, unblunted, unchilled...
...these two culture courses the speaker gave so much that there was little left for the hearers to do except to wonder, to enjoy, and to grow. Students accordingly flocked around in such numbers and eagerness as we read attended the lectures of Abelard. To be properly nourished, each age needs something that is not grown on its own soil. Besides the nutrition that is "timely," a little of that on which our forefathers fed keeps up the continuity of the stock.
