Excerpt from The Romance of American Landscape IN the following discursive pages the author has taken a brief, but he hopes an intelligent, glimpse at the varying characteristics Of the beautiful natural scenery of our country. It has been his endeavour, throughout, SO to relieve the gravity of fact With the gracerof fiction, as to present at the same time an in structive topography and an entertaining romance. The better to accomplish this difficult end, he has assem bled around him a company Of accomplished and genial travellers, Who discuss the subject familiarly in all its phases, each from his own peculiar stand-point and after his own individuality. It' is not necessary that the reader be here presented to these gentlemen, since they Will shake him by the hand, and tell him What manner of men they are, in the first chapter, - which subserves the usual rdle Of a preface, but is too much an integral and important part Of the narrative to be.

Excerpt from Arcadian Days: American Landscapes in Nature and Art Cold types and rebellious pigments alike are inadequate means of expression. The simplest rustic subjects have seemed the best, because they are the most familiar. It is hoped that some of these sketches may appeal by their truthfulness to the reader's pleasant memories. But the whole value of the work, if it has any value, lies in its tendency, in what it merely hints at, the great desirability, for in stance, Of using one's own eyes and of cultivat ing one's powers of observation; for how much of pleasure and profit this might add to the lives of most people, no matter in what particular sphere of action they may be placed!

Excerpt from A Century of American Landscape Painting, 1800 to 1900: January 19 to February 25, 1938 Arace busy taming the wilderness, wresting a living from the sea, and building a new nation, had little time or surplus wealth for more than the bare necessities of life. The only art for which there was any demand in colonial America was portraiture. The provincial aristocrat had no desire for the higher forms of art, but he wanted himself and his family recorded for posterity. In the words of Benj amin Robert Hayden, disillusioned English exponent of the grand style: Portraiture is always independent of art and has little or nothing to do with it. It is one of the staple manufactures of the Empire. Wherever the British s'ettle, wherever they colonize, they carry, and will always carry, trial by jury, horse racing and portrait painting. Least of all was there any demand for landscape, a quite non-utilitarian form of art, which tells no story, illustrates no historical event, points no moral. The motivation of landscape is as impractical as that of lyric poetry or music - the expression of the artist's vision of nature and the emotions which it arouses in him. This love of nature is the product of an old and settled civilization, not a pioneer one. It had little place in the hard-headed America of colonial days.

Excerpt from The Book of Garden Design Making consists in the endeavour to duplicate a whole landscape on a small scale - this was an error into which Brown's followers blindly fell - but because so much that is of value to us may be gathered from an intelligent study of the means by which Nature achieves her most beautiful effects. The disposition of wood and water in a stretch of well-balanced scenery, the beautifully pro portioned effect of level and rising ground, of valleys and hills; all these afford an object lesson, which, at some time or other, is bound to prove suggestive when endeavouring to forecast results in artificially arranged grounds. Nature, then, is the school where the novice should go to be thoroughly taught the rudiments of his art. Not only will he learn much that is not to be found in books, but his love of the picturesque and beautiful will be fostered and encouraged - a necessary proceeding if he is to achieve any measure of success as a maker of gardens.

Classical Guitarists fills a void in the special world of the classical guitar. Although this realm is inhabited by world-class musicians, much of what they think and feel has never been captured in print. The interviewees, including Julian Bream, John Williams, Sharon Isbin, Eliot Fisk, David Starobin and David Tanenbaum are a select group at the peak of their prowess who speak openly and thoughtfully about their opportunities, accomplishments, and lessons learned. Each has made important contributions from establishing significant academic programs to broadening the audience for the classical guitar. The author shares his reviews of their most important recordings and New York City concerts during the 1990s, as well as discographies of their recordings. There are also interviews with Harold Shaw, the most prominent artist manager in the history of the classical guitar and several of today's most important composers for the guitar, including Pulitzer Prize winners George Crumb and Aaron Jay Kernis. An introductory chapter provides an historical perspective on classical guitar and a postscript explains how to create a basic repertoire of recordings.
