The sketch is left in its consummate incompleteness because this mortal life is not rich enough to carry out the Divine idea. Such an unfinished but unmatched outline is that which I find in the long portrait-gallery of memory, recalled by the name of Charles Chauncy Emerson.
"I saw a kind of tobacco advertised as 'The Solace'; the name was given by some disappointed swain, I suppose." "Probably," said Marcia, smiling. I heard him, at a party, call her 'Dear'!" "I don't think you get on any faster than I did. We shall have to finish the tour of the portrait-gallery another day." "You are not tired? I wanted to tell you of several more. Yet I don't know why I should.
His prices have consequently come down to such a point that pauperism itself need hardly shrink from the outlay required for a family portrait-gallery. The "tin-types," as the small miniatures are called, stanno-types would be the proper name, are furnished at the rate of two cents each!
There are many aged portraits some valuable, some worthless; some of great interest, some of none at all. I bought a couple one a gorgeous duke of the olden time, and the other a comely blue-eyed damsel, a princess, maybe. I bought them to start a portrait-gallery of my ancestors with. I paid a dollar and a half for the duke and a half for the princess.
After getting through the portrait-gallery, I went among the engravings and photographs, and then glanced along the old masters, but without seriously looking at anything. While I was among the Dutch painters, a gentleman accosted me. It was Mr. J , whom I once met at dinner with Bennoch. J was kind enough to go in quest of him.

The pictures in the English portrait-gallery are mostly very bad, and that may be the reason why I saw so little in them.
The reasons why I excluded him from my portrait-gallery are so honorable to both of us, that I must ask permission briefly to record them. My fellow-captives soon discovered that I was studying their personal peculiarities for my own advantage and for the public amusement. Some thought the thing a good joke; some objected to it, and quarreled with me.
Nor is there any well-considered principle of classification. What we find is a sort of portrait-gallery of the various types of moral excellence which the Greeks of the author's age admired and strove to encourage. The discussion is full of acute, interesting and sometimes profound observations.
She looked at the polished suits of armor, at battle-axes, antlers, pikes, halberds, until her eyes ached. She paced in awe and wonder down the vast portrait-gallery, where half a hundred dead and gone Catherons looked at her sombrely out of their heavy frames. And one day her picture hers would hang in solemn state here.
