Excerpt from The Old and the New Renaissance: A Group of Studies in Art and Letters

The writer of these papers sends them forth well aware of their limitations. Written for the most part as lectures, they have the inherent faults of such work - faults that all revision could not have wholly eradicated had such revi sion, indeed, been deemed advisable. Nor does he claim any particular originality in material or method of treatment; to do so in the face of the work of more competent and scholarly writers, to whom he owes a debt quite beyond repay ment, would be manifest supererogation. He will have sufiiciently attained his object, how ever, if he has put in a more or less popular and accessible form facts about certain men and movements that have had transcendent influence upon the art and culture of the modern times.
