Like most speakers of any distinction, Lord Leighton left nothing to chance. In his speeches and Discourses, as in his pictures, the most careful and exact preparation was made for every effect, however appar- ently casual it. may have seemed.

Indeed, the Discourses form a unique contri- bution to the art criticism of our time ; they cover the most interesting and various periods in the history of the Art of Europe ; and although the cycle he had mapped, out was interrupted before he had completed it — first by illness which postponed the biennial discourse, and then by death — the portions already delivered touch incident- ally on the theory and philosophy of all Art in a highly suggestive and eloquent way.
