Excerpt from Some of the Moderns
I have for some time doubted whether it was at all desirable there should be any Preface to this book, large parts of which have been passed recently through The Art Journal. The title defines its character, and indicates its aim. "While in doubt, do nothing," is an excellent maxim, which I first heard from a great man of affairs, who had doubted little, had done much, and whose successes were colossal. I laid to heart his observation - and this book, now offered to the reader, shall have an introduction but in name.
All that really needs to be said is that it is a study of certain interesting individualities in our contemporary Art: men, most of them still more or less young, and, with but two or three exceptions, still not popular; the large world being as yet not ready to receive them, though all have been received, by this time, by at the least an appreciable portion of that alert, small public which makes the reputations of To-morrow.
