註釋This book is not intended to be more than an outline of a history, and is concerned primarily with private collections; only incidentally does it touch upon the activities of galleries and museums. It is not a description of collections in the United States today, nor does it aim at giving detailed accounts of collections formed in the past, nor of the personalities and idiosyncrasies of their owners. Its purpose is to try to trace the various forms that collecting works of art has taken in the United States at different periods, and to suggest how political, economic, social and cultural influences and personal predilections have influenced these. -- Preface.
