PREFACE.During the years 1881 and 1883 1 passed some seven months in and near the City of Mexico, and there secured, often from strange hiding places where they had rested since the secularization of the conventual establishments, about eighty paintings by i<nown and unknown colonial artists. Aware that a vast—1 might almost say a superabundant—literature treating of painters and paintings existed in our Northern capitals, and engrossed by the novel aspect of nature around me, I delayed examining my acquisitions historically until I should again be near the systematized accumulations of records of the several studious nations. This delay continued until, when invited by the trustees to place my collection where it might subserve a useful end, in Memorial Hall, Philadelphia, I turned to the great centres of eastern American thought, seeking knowledge relating to the fine arts in New Spain. Many thousands of volumes were rapidly sifted by means of catalogues, indexes, and the references of learned authors, and to my surprise the search secured but a limited number of isolated facts.These were placed in some order of sequence and assembled with others drawn from memory or gathered and recorded in note-books during my Mexican sojourn.My friends, the distinguished scholars. Dr. William C. Prime, Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, Edmund C. Stedman, Thomas A. Janvier, and thaterudite statesman, Senor Don Matias Romero, the present Mexican Minister at Washington—to all of whom 1 am indebted for valuable suggestions—have encouraged me in the belief that the assemblage merits the permanency of print. The support of the last-named gentleman gives weight to my impression that not fewer than twenty-five thousand pictures were painted in the Vice-Royalty during the colonial period, and as I compare in my mind the canvases and panels 1 examined in Mexico with thousands which crowd the galleries of Italy, I am persuaded that students of history will in due season recognize the fact that the repositories of our neighboring republic contain ample material for a treatise which would be honored in the annals of art, and form a memorable chapter in the record of human culture.Washington, D. C, May ist, 1891.

The Book of Jubilees is an early ancient Jewish religious work, and translated by English biblical scholar and theologian, R. H. Charles. It was considered an important work for early Christian writers, and was also suppressed to the extent that no Latin or Greek versions survived. Once a part of the Jewish midrash, it is still used widely by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The Book of Jubilees is highly recommended for those who are interested in early Christian and Jewish writings, and also those who are interested in the publications translated by R. H. Charles.
