'This is a truly monumental work, and an absolutely vital tool for all - be they Stuart, Georgian, or Victorian in outlook - to possess, to pore over, and exploit.' — Roger Bowdler, The Victorian
'For readers of this journal, this is a treasure trove of interest…. This is an excellent book…. For anyone with even the most marginal interest in sculpture since the Restoration, well worth the money.' — Tom Beaumont James, Southern History
