SynopsisExcerpt from The Saints in Art: With Their Attributes and Symbols Alphabetically Arranged N o pretension is made to any original research. The excellent works of Mrs Jameson and Lord Lindsay are well known, and of the greatest value. But for the ordi nary tourist, Mrs Jameson's four large volumes (sacred and Legendary Art, in two volumes; Legends of the Madonna; and Legends of the Monastic Orders) are impossible, though much to be desired, as travelling companions. This is an attempt to provide an epitome of these, and other books of the kind, in a port able shape. The process of eliminating from the legends all but what is necessary for the better understanding of their representation in works of art has left in many instances rather a bald and inconsequent account, and should there appear to be any lack of sym pathy or reverence in the treatment of sacred subjects, the need for extreme brevity must be the excuse. Biblical characters are only included in so far as they are the subjects of traditions or legends beyond the Bible nar rative, and well-known historical personages.

Many of the incidents frequently depicted, and many of the attributes given to the saints, are, for want of knowledge of the legends to which reference is made, to some extent unintelligible.
