NOTE

The exhibition of American sculpture here catalogued comprises the best works of the sculptors represented, so far as they could be procured. Some of these are the property of the Museum by gift or purchase; but a large

number have been generously lent by the sculptors them- selves or by the institutions into whose possession they have passed. It is intended to make the exhibition a permanent

exposition of American sculpture, but as the exhibiting sculptors cannot in all cases donate their work to the Museum, it will be necessary to retire some of the exhibits from time to time, with the expectation of replacing them with other examples by the same or other artists.
