"Substantial revisions have been made to the discussions of the work of Jacques Gréber, the development of the design of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1912-16, the Free Library, and the Rodin Museum. I have written all-new sections on the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.
