TRANSLATOR'S NOTE As in the previous volumes, the translator has, from personal knowledge, or with the help of others, been able to amplify the descriptions of certain pictures in British collections, and to note some changes of ownership. He has added a considerable number of references, especially to the English edition in one volume (1903) of M. Emile Michel's justly popular study of Rembrandt. He has given to the etchings, many of which are mentioned in the entries, the numbers of Mr. A. M. Hind's catalogue, which represents the chronological arrangement adopted in the British Museum Print Room and should in time replace the clumsy and unscientific catalogue of Bartsch. These additions and corrections are enclosed within brackets. The translator has again added an Index of the Painters and Engravers mentioned in the text. The translator has to thank Mr. D. S. MacColl, Keeper of the Wallace Collection, Mr. Herbert Cook, and Mr. D. S. Meldrum, among others, for much kindly assistance in the preparation of this volume. EDWARD G. HAWKE. Vll
