“now it seems / to me that with his calm / and unpretending tone, / his precision and wide / range of critical know- / ledge his book is far / preferable to one [?] full / of Jameson flourishes.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Notebook: Artists." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086 (94); Box 6.

Inferred Fuller names 'Jameson flourishes' without specifying a title; likely refers to Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters (1845) given the Raphael subject matter, or Sacred and Legendary Art (1848) — cannot be certain which.
