PREFACE.

I LAY claim to nothing except to following, as best I have
been able, M. Clément's thoughts, and putting them into
simple English. In a supplement I have introduced a few
details of Michelangelo's private life, obtained chiefly from
Mr. Heath Wilson's admirable book, “Life and Works of
Michelangelo Buonarroti," and from Dr. Anton Springer's
“Raffael und Michelangelo."

For obvious reasons I have abstained from any comment.

THE TRANSLATOR.
