520 2 # $a The first volume contains Un Essai sur la théorie de la peinture (a translation of An essay on the theory of painting, 1715), with a new Preface by Richardson père. The second contains, Un Essai sur l'art de critiquer, en fait de peinture, & un discours sur la sience d'un connoisseur (An essay on the whole art of criticism as it relates to painting and an argument in behalf of the science of the connoisseur, 1719). The third (divided into two parts with continous pagination) contains the Description de divers fameux tableaux, desseins, statues, bustes, bas-reliefs &c. qui se trouvent en Italie (An account of some of the statues, bas-reliefs, drawings and pictures in Italy, 1722), with Un discours préliminaire sur le beau idéal by L. H. ten Kate.

Ten Kate's short treatise complements Richardson's chapter on the sublime, and links this conception of an 'unaccountable something' to the earlier concepts of 'grace' and the 'je ne sais quoi'. It was itself translated into English as a separate pamphlet, in 1732.
