This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

'Do you object, then, to a landscape painter being in bondage to nature, as a lover to his mistress?'

To me one kind of nature is much the same as another--none of it is worth much without figures. Of course we all know that there is an imaginative quality in our friend's work, but he stifles it with his truths.' 'Thank you,' said Morrison. 'Ambergreen and I, Mr. Ardrossan, have very different notions of what imagination means. He won't call anything imaginative which gives us the life of to-day in its full vividness--in its ugliness if you like, only conquering that ugliness by beauty of art. If he paints figures, he despises mere men and women, and has to go back to early times for saints, or savage kings and queens; and when he paints his landscapes, he will be sure to put nymphs and goblins in them.
