Once rid of the perturbation occasioned by the affair of the election, Mr. Hamerton was free to devote himself energetically to the preparation of a new and splendid edition of "Etching and Etchers," for which he spared neither thought nor pains, being generously entrusted by Messrs. Macmillan with the necessary funds, and given carte blanche for the arrangement. Mr.
In the estimation of art connoisseurs, Blanche McManus is an artist of unquestionable talent and varied composition, who has already done much striking work. Her execution in the various branches has attracted international attention. "She paints well in water-colors and in oil, and her etching is considered excellent.
"You were sure of the woman, but so far it is only guess work with him; though each time Rose spoke of seeing Maddox coincided with one of Mauleverer's visits. Besides, Alison, on the back of that etching in Rose's book is written, Mrs. Williams, from her humble and obliged servant, R. Maddox." "And you said nothing about it?"
"Look here," and the Colonel lifted on the table a scrap-book that Rose had been quietly opening on his knee, and which contained an etching of a child playing with a dog, much resembling the style of the drawing. "Who did that, my dear?" he asked. "Mamma had it," was Rose's reply; "it was always in my old nursery scrap-hook."
"Your son's etching has given pleasure to other than 'parental eyes. 'What a sweet little etching, said my wife, who saw it lying on the table; 'it is like an old master. There is something touching in the sight of a beginner, full of curiosity and hope.

The chapter on 'Etching and Dry-Point' is charmingly written, easy and refined in diction, and set down con amore." Then came this letter from Mr. Browning:

Early in his youth he studied painting at Parma under Biagio Martini; and in 1809 he went to Paris, where he learned the art of engraving from Bervic and of etching from Oortman. In Paris he contracted an intimate friendship with the painter Gérard.
"Felt it a great deliverance to be rid of plates for 'Etching and Etchers." A later note: "There is no technical difficulty for me in etching. I ought therefore to direct my energies against the artistic difficulties of composition, drawing, light and shade. Haden's 'Agamemnon' is the model for the kind of work I should like to be able to do in etching.
He was determined that he would not think about what had happened, till it became absolutely necessary to do so. When he had stretched himself on the sofa, he looked at the title- page of the book. It was Gautier's "Emaux et Camees," Charpentier's Japanese-paper edition, with the Jacquemart etching. The binding was of citron-green leather with a design of gilt trellis-work and dotted pomegranates.
He was, let us grant, though a powerful, a one-sided historian, a twisted though in some aspects a great moralist; but he was, in every sense, a mighty painter, now dipping his pencil "in the gloom of earthquake and eclipse," now etching his scenes with the tender touch of a Millet.
