Macfall writes in the foreword: In these pages I have simply written of the greater men of genius who have contributed to the art of painting; and I have touched upon their more famous works rather than attempted an exhaustive list of all their endeavor, the which has no value except to the dealer in antiques. The volumes are an attempt to place before the ordinary man the chief achievement of the years in the Art of Painting; and to hint at something of the real significance of that achievement. The Contents of this volume are divided into the following groups: The British Genius Before the Coming of Van Dyck; 1500; The British Genius Subject to Van Dyck-1600; and The British Genius Finds Voice-1700 and 1750.
