These etchings cover the whole period of Rembrandt's career, and illustrate the entire range of subjects used by the master--religious, allegorical, landscape, and portrait, in all of which there is a profound human interest.

That they will forsake it is a foregone conclusion. It is as much beyond their power to step back into isolation as it is beyond...
...profound cause for solicitude lies in the position being assumed by the new soldier's organization known as the Legion. In a way, the color of the thought of our people lies in the hands of this organization and even the fate of the country may be said to do so for the next generation. Including the great body of our young men, it is the incarnation of the patriotism and the power of idealism and realism of the American people...
