      Excerpt from Ghirlandaio My thanks are due to Dr. J. H. W. Laing, the editor of this series, for his invaluable aid in looking over the proofs: to Mr. George Salting and to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan for permitting the reproduction of their pictures: to the authorities of Sta. Maria Novella for their kindness in allowing me access to the frescoes, and to many others who, by various courtesies, have helped me in my task.
