Excerpt from Frondes Agrestes: Readings in Modern Painters, Chosen at Her Pleasures
Pleasure, a large number of passages from 'modern Painters,' it seemed to me certain that what such a person felt to be useful to herself, could not but be useful also to a class of readers whom I much desired to please, and who would sometimes enjoy, in my early writings, what I never should myself have offered them. I asked mv friend, therefore, to add to her own already chosen series, any other passages she thought likely to be of permanent interest to general readers; and I have printed her selections in absolute sub mission to her judgment, merely arranging the pieces she sent me in the order which seemed most convenient for the reciprocal bearing of their fragmentary meanings, and adding here and there an explanatory note; or, it may be, a deprecatory one, in cases where my mind had changed. That she did me the grace to write everv word with her own hands, adds, in my eyes, and will, I trust, in the readers' also, to the possible claims.
