Excerpt from Aims and Ideals in Art: Eight Lectures Delivered to the Students of the Royal Academy These Lectures were given in 1905 and 1906 and, with the exception of a few alterations in form made necessary by publication, are printed as they were delivered. I desire to express my thanks to the President and Council of the Royal Academy, to the authorities of the British Museum, to M. J. E. Buloz, and to the Vasari Society, for kindly permitting me to reproduce drawings; and I wish to gratefully acknowledge the assistance given me by Mr. Sidney Colvin, Mr. Laurence Binyon, and Professor Rapson.
