Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Artist Life and Character
The matter comprised in this volume it may be right to mention constitutes the skeleton of a work of a more ambitious character projected about two years since and abandoned for reasons with which it is unnecessary to trouble the reader. On looking over the materials collected for the stifled embryo; just alluded to, it occurred to the writer, that by their systematic arrangement, a work might be composed which would amuse as a string of anecdotes, and interest from the light it would incidentally throw upon the lives and characters of artists. To what extent this anticipation will be justified, the readers of this volume will determine for themselves.
