It has always appeared to us that a preface to a work of this kind is unnecessary. Its aim and scope are sufficiently indicated by its pages. We take pleasure, however, in using this space to thank the many friends who have so generously contributed to its pages.
Unfortunately, a large number of very beautiful photographs were sent to us which, owing to the limitations of the reproduction processes, we were unable to make use of. Those who do not find their picture included in this volume will kindly accept our thanks and this explanation.
