[Bibliographical Note.-This review first appeared in The Quarterly Review for June 1847 (Vol. 81, pp. 1-57, where it was entitled “Lord Lindsay on the History of Christian Art.”)

The article was reprinted in On the Old Road: a Collection of Miscellaneous Essays, Pamphlets, etc., etc., published 1834-1885, By John Ruskin-(1) in 1885, when it occupied pp. 19-132 (§§ 16-97) of volume i.; (2) in 1899 (second edition), when it occupied pp. 21-135 (§§ 16-97) of volume i.

The numbering of the paragraphs was introduced in the reprint of 1885. As it was there consecutive throughout the volume, the paragraphs are here necessarily re-numbered, and the divisions are in some cases altered. There are no variations in the text, other than a few minor differences of punctuation.]
