Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of James McNeill Whistler
I have to express my warmest thanks to those who have, frequently at no little inconvenience to them selves, made it possible to see their pictures, and particularly to the collectors who have permitted reproductions to be made. I must especially acknowl edge a great obligation to the friends who have read my manuscript and have helped me by suggestions and corrections; and I must also acknowledge the assistance of Mr. David Kennedy, who has put me in communication with foreign owners of Whistler's works, and in many other ways has facilitated my task.
