About the book >.>.> In writing on Turner one must necessarily make levies on the works of other authors. I give hearty acknowledgment to Mr. A. J. Finberg’s Inventory of the Drawings of the Turner Bequest (printed for His Majesty’s Stationery Office) which he himself has used with skill and accomplishment in his Turner’s Sketches and Drawings (Methuen & Co.). Among the other books consulted and quoted from are Turner by Sir Walter Armstrong (Agnew & Sons); Turner by W. L. Wyllie A.R.A. (G. Bell & Sons); The Turner Drawings by E. T. Cook (Pall Mall Press); The Engraved Work of Turner and Turner’s ‘Liber Studiorum’ by W. G. Rawlinson; the delightful Extra Numbers of The Studio on Turner and the excellent little book by the late Cosmo Monkhouse. Ruskin of course is frequently referred to and quoted also the inaccurate but indispensable Thornbury whose Life of Turner all succeeding writers on Turner have borrowed from and upbraided. (MP)
