A Treatise On Painting: Faithfully Translated From The Original Italian,
And Now First Digested Under Proper Heads, By John Francis Rigaud, Esq.
To Which Is Prefixed A New Life Of The Author, Drawn Up From Authentic
Materials Till Now Inaccessible, By John Sidney, Hawkins This book is a
result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the
preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to
preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked
towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been
re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools
to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high
quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of
holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed
to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR)
reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was
re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain
conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations,
punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other
related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made
to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the
original edition via other references. However, a few of such
imperfections which could not be rectified due to
intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition,
were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the
authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this
work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the
literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted
the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards
preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the
development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are
grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our
imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content.
HAPPY READING!
