THE ELGIN MARBLES. ItEPOtIT.FROM THE SELECT CoNISIITTEE ON THE EMU. CO , ELGIN'S COLLECTION OF SCULPTUItEb NaasLes,. Ste. . (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) .• M. Your Committee observing, that by the-Act 45 taro. ill. c. 127, for vesting the Townleyan Collection in the Trustees of the British Mosconi, see. -1, the Proprietor_ of that Collection, Mr. Towilley.Stitnilish, was added . ,to the Trustees of the-British Aluseam, consider the Earl of Elgin (itod his heirs being Earls of Elgin) as equally entitled to the same distinction, and recommend clause should be inserted • to,. thaCellect, if it shOuld he necessary that an nct should pass for transferring his Collection to the public. • It may nut be deemed foreign to this subject, it' yoar Committee venture to extend their °laser vatioos somewhat beyond the strict lint t of their immediate inquiry, and lay before the (louse what oceurs'to them Hs not unimportant with regard to the age and ;Authenticity of these sculptures. The great works with • which Pericles adorned and strunithened Athens, were all carried on under the directioO and superintendence of Phidial ; for this there is the authority of various:on:lent writers, and pai Licata; ly of Plutarch ; but he distinctly asserts, in tiie, shine passage, that Callierates and Ic s tintis ekecuterthe 'Work of the Parthenon ; which-is continued also by Pausenias, so far as relates to wholikewise ornamented or constructed * I . the temple of Apollo lit Phiga.l; .a ; Jam whence, by a singular cohicidence, the sculptures in high lately pinThased for the British Museum, and ficquently referied .to in the evidence, were ttauspouted., • Tip sty!C of this wrai, in the opinion of the arukts, iodic:des that it belongs to the same pe riod i though the execution is rated its inferior to that' Of the I'4lAin bles. In the fahuloos stn ties which are repreSenteil ''butt both there is a very'striking•sitihlarity; and it may he reiratled in passing'. that the subjects of the Metopes, and': l)1 Ole Frieze, which is sculptured with the.blittle of the Amazons, correspood with two out of• the four subjects mentioned by Pliny, as adorning the shield foul dress of' the Minerva ; so that there was a general unitoo i itk design in the laturi:!s whim were selected for the interim! j and exitlnal decoration of the Parthenon, The toot 01 the sAiite arti,t, 1.:11 tci riveat the Sarno idoaS, which is humid in grace toting am, Variety of einitposit iutt, whet; he was • ertitioycil upon the torli)k or: 4oo o 4 er. d i vitlitY , at distance. from Athens. • The Value of the. Minervii within the Temple, was the=work of Phidias himself, and . with the - exception of the Jupiter which mode' at the most celchcated of his productions. It was Composed of ivory and gold ; with regard to which, sonic very curious anecdotes relating to the politi:;al his,tory Of that time, tee to he found in the same writers : the c:arlie,t of which, front a posmge in a cotemporory pOct, Aristoph wes, proves that the value of these mavetials involved both Pericles and the • director of 111$ works in great trouble and jeopardy ; upon cVltieh account the latter is sail to have withdrawn to 14,1i5, and , to li;are eadited his days-there, leaving it doubtful whether Isis death . evils natural, or in consequence of a judicial sentence : but. Plutarell places his death at Athens, and in prison, either by disease -0V by 'poison. lt.hazi been doubted ,Whether Phidias himself•'l ever wrought in marble; bta.. although, whewhe did not use ivory, his chief material was monies- " tionhtly•bronie, there ion: authorities snilluieut -to• establish, beyond all controversy, - that he somettaresApplied•his - hand to tuarble.• Pliny, for iustance, asserts that he ',.:!id so, And wpon ios asciihell to hint, existing in hiS own time in the collection, or . in the portico, slf Octavio.
