He have attempted no detailed criticism. A brief description of the materials and methods employed in sculpture is contained in the Introduction.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=557834 ״A collection of sixteen pictures of Greek marbles, with introduction and interpretation. Within the limits of this small collection of pictures an attempt is made to bring together as great a variety of subjects as possible. Portraiture is illustrated in the statue of Sophocles and the bust of Pericles, genre studies in the Apoxyomenos and Discobolus, bas-relief work in the panel from the Parthenon frieze and the Orpheus and Eurydice, and ideal heads and statues in the representations of the divinities.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=557836 According to the author, "The title of this book speaks for itself; I have only to add here that it differs from most works of the kind in being the production of an artist endeavouring to explain the technicalities of a beautiful and little understood art ; for this reason it is hoped that it will not be judged from a purely literary standpoint. No attempt has been made to give a complete history of sculpture, or a perfect list of artists and their works; the treatise is concerned only with the principles which underlie all art and are the foundations of criticism.״
