Facsimiles of original studies by Raffaelle in the University Galleries, Oxford . cket-book, withpen sketches, and several of them* bear tjie autograph of the greatmaster. , . - , « . These, of course, are incidents ^which add only to thehistorical interest of these drawings, not to their artistic merit.That must be left to the judgment of the amateur and professor, and it may be said, that no one can view them without beingconvinced of their transcendent merit.

The publishers hope, in the present volumes, to extend the usefulness of this magnificent collection, and theyconfidently offer the etchings of Mr. Joseph Fisher, of Oxford, as careful, spirited, and thoroughly characteristic reproductions..
