that spring from violent repulsions, or from pathetic attachments to what is human amid the general brutishClose and vigorous are the half-dozen characters prose poems. Two or three of these belong with the art of Rembrandt, and the nature of Burns. The poet's power, the genuine essential faculty, is shown in the peasant-portraits; but beyond that this priest has unveiled the man's heart in him, and seldom, indeed, does one meet with self-revelation so delicate, so refined in poetic feeling.".

"Full of curious learning, and contain admirable morsels of criticism. There are two lectures on Learning and literature at the Court of Henry II.,' in which will be found an explanation of the disappointing character of the epistolary correspondence of the Middle Ages, as well as a charming fragment from a letter of John of Salisbury, one of Becket's correspondents. There is an interesting lecture on the little-known his. tory of the mediæval kingdoms of Cyprus and Armenia. There are also lectures on the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII. Some of its historical portraits, very brief they mostly are, show all the cunning of hand which the writer has displayed on larger canvas. We cordially commend the lectures to our readers. They will find them learned and thoughtful as was to be expected; and they will also find them amusing, which was perhaps less to be expected."- Spectator, Sept. 25.

Unger, W: Die Kaiserl.-Königl. Gemälde Galerie in Wien; Text von C: von Lützow. 100 Kupfertafeln. 2 v.

"The Galery is numerically rich in pictures by Ro bens, and in quality they are unsurpassed. And, as was to be expected, in rendering the compositions of the great painter of nature and humanity, Herr Unger is at his best. He gives us the full crash and whirlwind of the storm and cataract in the Philemon and Baucis,' and the soft flesh painting of the beautiful Helen Fourment going to the bath. The etcher is perhaps greatest in the Venusfest.' Herr Unger must have learnt the secret of storing away sunbeams; he seems always to have such an inexhaustible supply at command. In the Van de Capelle,the paper is positively saturated with sunshine. Of very different character is the charming specimen of Terburg's delicate art. Here all is quiet, subdued, and tender in tone. It is interesting to

compare this with the Holbein and Dürer portraits where the clear and decisive outlines and delicately modelled form are rendered with a firm regularity of line which rivals the early German engravings." — Academy, Feb. 28.

[ocr errors]

"This is the most arduous work yet undertaken by Herr Unger. The Imperial Gallery of the Belvedere, though lying a little out of the beaten track, is known to all connoisseurs as possessing rare and varied treasures which cannot fail to tax to the uttermost the resources of an etcher. Mr. Hamerton concedes that Herr Unger has produced more plates of uniformly good quality than any one else. In one power he cer tainly surpasses - namely, in the critic's gift of sympa. thy with different kinds of talent. His etchings are commentaries not written in words, but on copper. The objection was at first raised that this indefatigable etcher had but one manner, which he applied invariably to Holbein, Teniers, and Titian. This charge obviously fatal to any translator either of written or pictorial thought, Herr Unger has done his best to refute, and now he finds for his reward the counter accusation that, in throwing himself heart and soul into the spirit of Rembrandt and Rubens, Raffaelle, and Veronese, he has surrendered his own individuality."— Saturday ret., Mar. 9, 1878.

Evil not being evil, there is plainly no reason why Mrs. or Miss Theodora Corrie should not kill her hero, for no purpose except to make the heroine, who was much attached to him, do without him. The useless death of the amiable is unpleasant to read about, and it is far from being a good excuse that a halfsane pseudo-mystic was in the habit of twisting words about till he twisted all the meaning out of them, and was then enabled to contradict himself so many times in the same page as to dazzle the muddled reader beyond the possibility of refusing to accept the ridiculous paradox upon which Miss Corrie relies for prefatory philos ophy.

"The present reminiscences prove no exception to the rule that such records depend for their interest far more on the qualities of the writer than on the materials of which he disposes. Horace Walpole in the centre of the social and political world, and Cowper, to whom nothing ever happened, have commanded the attention of innumerable readers because they were men of genius. He has known and appreciated some of the best among two generations of men, and he still holds his rank in the third.
