Excerpt from The Wallace Collection

Or many books consulted in the preparation of this little guide, by far the most useful have been the official catalogues published by order of the Board of Trustees. The Wallace Collection has been singu larly fortunate in the matter of its administration. Both the first Keeper, Sir Claude Phillips, and his successor, Mr D. S. Maccoll, are gentlemen who enjoy a world-wide respect and esteem for their scholarly writings on art subjects. To them, and to the Hon. Inspector of the Armouries, Sir Guy Laking, we owe catalogues which are models of what such works should be.
