"As I said in my first letter, whatever unkind and adverse criticism one may make, I beg to assure you that my collection is being universally admitted to be unique and unrivalled, as no collection is being universallya admitted to be even thought of by any other collector in our modern times. It is this fact and the immense value of the collection, historically and otherwise, which have caused much jealousy among scholars, collectors, connoisseurs and others." 录自所附作者给美国教授LAMONT ADELBERT WARNER之信
