THE AHMANSON FOUNDATION
has endowed this imprint
to honor the memory of
FRANKLIN D. MURPHY
who for half a century
served arts and letters,
beauty and learning,
in equal measure by
shaping with a brilliant
devotion those institutions
upon which they rely.
The publisher gratefully acknowledges the generous contribution to this book provided by the Art Endowment Fund
of the University of California Press Associates, which is supported by a major gift from the Ahmanson Foundation.
