It has always been a mystery to me how she came to drift from her pleasant wine-warmed land into London's chill and fog, and still more why, having made her first halting-place in my small establishment, she should have stayed on ever since to run it. But, anyway, she has...

Excerpt from Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin As a rule, the notices which were published after she was dead were harsher and more uncompromising than those written during her lifetime.

My pile of letters becomes a sort of cinematograph in writing of the literary life of London during the seventies, of the few men and women whose greatness has grown with the years, of the many who already in their work appear to us as old fashioned as the tiny Sheets of paper, fit for a doll's house, up...

Excerpt from Lithography and Lithographers: Some Chapters in the History of the Art Here are endless series of art books - and endless schools of art, endless lecturers on art and art criticism.
