Excerpt from Notices of Sculpture in Ivory: Consisting of a Lecture on the History, Methods, and Chief Productions of the Art, Delivered at the First Annual General Meeting of the Arundel Society, on the 29th June, 1855As soon as it was determined by the Council that casts should be manufactured for sale, it was thought desirable that a particular description of them should be prepared for the benefit of purchasers, and this was accordingly drawn up by Mr. Edmund Oldfield, a member of the Council of the Society, who had, previously to the delivery of Mr. Wyatt's Lecture, arranged the collection in classes, illustrative of the several schools and periods of the Art. This Catalogue was first published in August last, being delivered gratuitously to all purchasers of the casts, as well as to any member of the Society who might apply for it, and sold at one shilling to other persons. Upon these terms the original or separate edition is still to be obtained. A reprint of this Catalogue, with some slight additions and corrections by the author, completes the present publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
