"Preliminary to
entering upon the subject, the Writer feels it due to those who have
preceded him, candidly to advise his readers not to expect much that is
novel in matter or original in description ; so many having already
written on the subject, some of whom have spared neither pains or
expense in collecting every incident that might tend to develop his
character as an artist, and his peculiarities as a man ; so that little
has been left in the field of research where so many have previously
gleaned." John
Smith, The
Life of Rembrandt Van Rhyn, 1836 |
