expression: giving rise to them:--
(1) P. 73. "_The peculiar characteristic of the Byzantine churches
is the dome._" "Form derived first from the Catacombs. See Lord
Lindsay."
(2) P. 89. "_The octagon baptistry at Florence, ascribed to Lombard
kings...._" "No; it is Etruscan work of pure descent."
(3) _Id._ "_S. Michele, of Pavia, pure Lombard of seventh century,
rebuilt in tenth._" "Churches were often rebuilt with their
original sculptures. I believe many in this church to be Lombard.
See next page."

vulgar painting, the sentimental prints, and the colored
statuettes, which have made the religious art of the nineteenth
century a by-word for its feebleness on the one side, its
superstition on the other._" "Excellent; but my good scholar has

[Compare the last note in the book, pp. 487-8, where Miss Owen's
statement that "_the cause of Rafaelle's popularity ... has been

existed save as the expression of the vital and unquestioned faith
of a people,_" followed by some remarks on external helps to
devotion, there is a note at the word "people." "Down to this line

(7) P. 113. _S. Michele at Lucca._ "The church is now only a modern
architect's copy."
(8) P. 129. "_There is a good model of this pulpit_" (Niccola's in
