Excerpt from Colours of War This book is the material of a picture, not a picture. When watched from far, war appears as a quarrel, a few battles, and some manifestations of human nature. It is easily grasped and painted. Books on war written at a distance have unity. Seen from very near, the outlines get rough, details expand, spoiling the great features, and the colours dissolve into blotches. A picture might best represent what happens in war, colours in confusion on a palette best convey what is seen. Some of the matter here appeared in the London Westminster Gazette and the London Fortnightly Review, some in American journals, but the book is not a reprint of articles.
