Count De Montalambert, in his recently published 'Letter to the Rev. Mr. Neale on the Architectural, Artistical, and Archaeological Movements of the Puseyites, enters his 'protest' against the most unwarranted and unjustifiable assumption of the name of Catholic by people and things belonging to the actual Church of England.
While the component parts may defy, individually, the highest skill of the artist, the arrangement of these parts will always be susceptible of improvement. In short, no position can be attained on the wide surface of the natural earth, from which an artistical eye, looking steadily, will not find matter of offence in what is termed the "composition" of the landscape.
That work is, even in its humblest form, a secure foundation, capable of infinite superstructure; a reality of true value, as far as it reaches, while the common artistical effects and groupings are a vain effort at superstructure without foundation utter negation and fallacy from beginning to end.
At all events, if we are not to meet, I am glad to read in the papers of your artistical success in Amerika. With my best wishes, I am, dear Sir, Yours very truly, MacDowell when he learned of her husband's collapse: CHRISTIANIA, December 14, 1905. DEAR MADAM: The news of MacDowell's serious illness has deeply affected me.

As for the garden within the crater, which was much the most extensive and artistical, it was somewhat behind that on the Summit, having been later tilled; but everything, there, looked equally promising, and Mark saw that one acre, well worked, would produce more than he and Betts could consume in a twelvemonth. It was an important day on the Reef when the keel of the pinnace was laid.
This room was littered with all kinds of artistical rubbish: fragments of plaster of Paris, casts of hands, frames, stretched canvasses, sketches begun and thrown aside, and drapery cast carelessly over the chairs.
Zach had dropped the hide and horns from his "recreant limbs," and was seated solemnly upon the snow, in all the majesty of his native dirt. "By Jove, it's Kennedy!" cried Tankerville, whose artistical eye detected me through my hirsute and fluttering disguise. "What a picturesque object!
The police laughed, and took out of this injured man's pocket the stolen notes which Meadows instantly identified. Then Mr. Robinson started off into another key equally artistical in its way. "Miss Merton," snuffled he, "appearances are against me, but mark my words, my innocence will emerge all the brighter for this temporary cloud." Susan Merton ran indoors, saying, "Oh! I must tell George."
Such a man, for aught I can see, might love a graven image, like the girl of Florence who pined into a shadow for the Apollo Belvidere, looking coldly on her with stony eyes from his niche in the Vatican. One thing is certain, he will never find his faultless piece of artistical perfection by searching for it amidst flesh-and-blood realities.
